Podcasts about prison epistles

Today, we begin our study on the prison epistle of Colossians. Colossians is located about 100 miles east of Ephesus. The church here was primarily composed of Gentiles. This epistle to the Colossians is one of four “Prison Epistles” along with Ephesians, Philippians and Philemon. According to Colossians 4:16, this epistle was to be read to the neighboring church of Laodicea, and a letter that was written to the Laodicea's (not included in the canon of Scripture) was to be read to the saints at Colosse.Paul wrote all of these epistles during his first imprisonment while he was in Rome awaiting trial before Ceasar. Internal evidence suggests that though Paul had not visited Colosse (2:1), Timothy and Epaphras (1:7) had evangelized the city and founded the church during Paul's 3 year stay in Ephesus while on his third missionary journey. The epistle was written to combat certain heretical teachings that had crept into the church and have never gone away! We will address these heresies as we go through this powerful epistle. These false teachings were Gnosticism; Legalism, Mysticism and secular philosophy. False teachers also denied the deity of Jesus Christ. They taught that He was a created being and not the Creator Himself. They taught a false gospel of salvation via works or rituals or sacramentalism as opposed to the true gospel of His all-sufficient atonement for sin that grants salvation to sinners by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, not of works or ritual lest any man should boast.What is said about Jesus Christ in chapter 1 reveals His preeminence over all creation and every created being and not only exposes as heresy, but renders useless all worldly, secular philosophies. It puts the nail in the coffin of legalism and every any any religious “ism”. Mysticism. Asceticism. Protestantism. Catholicism. Hinduism. Buddhism. Islam. Mormonism. Glory to God for the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.It is only because of the redemption that is in His blood, that we have forgiveness of sin and fellowship with God. See what the saints in heaven declare in Revelation 5:9. In and through Christ alone, we are delivered from the power of darkness. In and through Christ alone, we have peace with God. In and through Christ alone, we are translated into the kingdom of God's dear Son!! In this letter, we also learn that among the glorious mysteries of our faith in Scripture is the mystery of Jesus Christ, the hope of glory, dwelling in the midst of those who belong to Him.Come join us as we journey through this letter of Paul, and discover how the preeminence of Jesus Christ is meant to affect our marriages. Our earthly vocations. Our child rearing. Our prayer lives. Our stewardship of time, finances and spiritual. And last, but not least, our relationship with one another in the body of Christ. SELAH

Ever wonder what people mean when they refer to the Pentateuch? How about the Prison Epistles or the Major Prophets? The Bible, and various parts of the Bible, are often referred to by pastors and clergy using diverse names and categories. The Torah, Tanakh, Catholic Epistles, and Gospels are just a few of the ways people refer to assorted parts of the Bible, even though many Christians are unaware of what these monikers mean. In today's broadcast, Blake explains the common nicknames used for the Bible and the various groupings of its books.

Romans, 1–2 Corinthians, Galatians, EphesiansRomans ·      Written by Paul before he ever visited Rome. ·      Written to generate support for his desire to carry the Gospel to Spain. ·      Written as a more detailed (more detailed than Galatians) explanation of the gospel and of his theology·      Texts to Consider: Rom 1:8–17; Rom 3:21–26; Rom 15:17–291 Corinthians·      Written by Paul from Ephesus after he had visited Corinth.·      Written to correct and rebuke the Corinthians over division, toleration of sin, eating food sacrificed to idols, abuse of the Lords Supper, asking for financial support for church in Jerusalem, and other factors.·      Texts to Consider: 1 Cor 1:10–31; 1 Cor 13:1–132 Corinthians·      Written by Paul following the reception of his first letter and a “painful visit.” ·      Written to defend his own ministry in light of the disparagement from the Corinthians and the “Super-Apostles”·      Written to press the importance of completing the offering for the hurting church in Jerusalem·      Texts to Consider: 2 Cor 2:1–4; 2 Cor 2:12–3:3; 2 Cor 10:7–18; 2 Cor 11:4–6Galatians·      Written by Paul after his first missionary journey, but before the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) in 48 AD. This, if accurate, would make Galatians Paul's earliest letter.·      Written to rebuke the Galatian churches (probably the churches of Lystra, Derbe, etc.) for their forsaking the true gospel of justification by faith alone in Christ alone to try to live out the faith by adherence to the law. ·      Paul's shared some details of his first meetings with Peter and James. He makes the point strongly that the gospel that saved them is the same gospel that kept them saved.·      Texts to Consider: Gal 1:6–10; Gal 2:15–3:6Ephesians·      Written by Paul from Roman imprisonment (the one described at the end of Acts) in 60–62 AD. Along with Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon called the Prison Epistles.·      Possibly a circular letter, meaning it went to more than just one church or one region. Some manuscripts don't include “in Ephesus” (Eph 1:1), and this book does not have many personal references. ·      Written to encourage believers to remember who they are positionally in Christ, and live that out practically in a broken world.·      Texts to Consider: Eph 1:19–2:10; Eph 2:11–22; 4:1–7; Eph 4:22–5:2; Eph 5:31–33

In the latest episode of Sermon Notes, host Jay Strother is joined by guest Brian Ball to delve into the profound themes of Paul's prison epistles, specifically exploring the letters to the Colossians, Ephesians, Philemon, and Philippians. The conversation weaves through the transformative power of the gospel on social structures, the Christian concept of kindness and responsibility, and the exaltation of Christ's humility as an example for faithful living. They discuss Onesimus's journey from a runaway slave to a bishop of Ephesus and reflect on Paul's emphasis on Christian responsibilities over personal rights. By examining the theological depth and practical guidance within these letters, Jay and Brian highlight the significance of meditating on Scripture for spiritual growth, the eternal security found in Christ, and the importance of viewing life through a future-oriented, faith-grounded lens.

During his two years under house arrest in Rome, Paul wrote a series of letters (referred to as “Prison Epistles” today) that shaped the early Church in a profound manner. Though this was not a typical prison sentence, the title “Penned In Prison” alludes to Paul's mental and emotional imprisonment. With one hand bound to a soldier and the other holding a quill, he began to pen a letter that would have a ripple of impact, not only on members of the New Testament Church, but also on our hearts today. One dangerous letter that Paul authored in the midst of what we read in Acts 28 is focused on two important leaders of the Church at this time in history: Philemon and Onesimus. Anchors away for a 932-mile journey to Rome that, for the first time, is not focused around Paul. (Unfortunately, for you adrenaline junkies, there are no shipwrecks in this trek.)

Sunday, November 26, 2023 – Today’s message is the 4th in our study in Philippians and is titled “God’s Plans Always Succeed.” We had the privilege of having Pastor Sasha and Olga Skrypak and their four children from Ukraine with us in our service on Sunday, and it was an honor to share God’s word of encouragement with them. Tuesday evening, November 28, at 6:00, they will be sharing their experience and ministry in Kyiv. They were in the city when Russia attacked it and have since lost their home due to the invasion. They have an ability, beyond what everyday Americans do, to associate with the type of problems that Paul was experiencing as he was writing to the Philippians as he was under house arrest for two years. The faith that Paul had to endure, realizing that God’s plans always succeed, is what we can learn from. Paul’s success in building the kingdom of God didn’t come from a lack of problems; instead, his success came amid the problems. Worship and study with us as we learn that God is still the same today as He was then, and be encouraged that He has everything under control.

When you study the life of the apostle Paul, you will invariably hear about something called his 'prison epistles', which are the four books of the New Testament he wrote while under house arrest in Rome around the year 62 AD. These four books are Philippians, Ephesians, Colossians and Philemon. Tonight we will study Paul's letter to his dearly beloved Philemon. On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we look at some of the most salient writings of the apostle Paul written to Christians living in the Church Age, and in doing so discover the 'beating heart' of what Paul calls 'my gospel'. These four New Testament books contain practical and powerful doctrine for Christian living that we would do well to heed and follow. They become even more powerful when you realize that Paul abounded with joy in trying circumstances because he trusted in the Lord in every trial, great and small. Written from behind bars in prison, they sound like they come from a free man, because Paul was 'free indeed' through Jesus Christ. Join us as we spend some time with Philemon and pay a visit to our apostle Paul in prison!

ABOUT THE EPISODEIn an introduction to the Prison Epistles we'll be studying this year, Cherie and Tami give helpful context of Paul as he penned these books–written during his first Roman imprisonment when religious persecution was increasing rapidly. In the middle of his imprisonment, he produced three great letters to the churches of Ephesus, Colossae, and Philippi, as well as a personal letter to his friend Philemon. This year, we'll spend time in each chapter, discovering what compelled Paul to address these churches and friends. In studying how God wove an amazing story in and through Paul's life, we can also look at each of our own stories to see how God is at work. Cherie and Tami both share how they have seen evidence of God in specific moments of their own testimonies. We pray that you will also seek out the evidence of Jesus in your life and courageously share your story! WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to encourage, equip, and empower women with the Word of God.

Episode Summary:  Lee Ann Mancini and I talk about raising children to have a strong foundation in Jesus. It's her passion to equip parents with valuable resources so they can raise their children to have a strong foundation in Jesus—the only foundation that will last. This is such an important topic given the world we live in and the influences our children are under. We talk about how to help kids with bullying, why forgiveness is important, why kids are walking away from their faith and more. Quotables from the episode: I see how children are walking away from their faith – first priority is the salvation of our children and the preservation of Christianity. Kids are leaving home and being influence by a humanistic perspective from their professors and peers. The enemy of our soul and our children's souls likes to attack at the foundation. We need to give our children spiritual meat, not mild. If our children don't have a solid foundation in Jesus by the age of 10, they are significantly more likely to walk away from their faith. I believe His will for me is to equip all who are raising the next generation to have a strong foundation in Jesus that will last a lifetime. Don't look at the world and have despair – With God's help, we can overcome. God's word tells us the whole narrative, and we only need to walk in faith and spiritual sight. Your kids will reflect the mirror of your character. Our children are our future. We need to rely on the Holy Spirit for their transformation and do all we can to teach them the ways of the Lord. One of the most important things we can teach our children is how to forgive each other. Play is the highest form of science and education for our children. Make today the day that you decide what is most important for raising our children to have a strong foundation in Jesus.  Scripture References: Deuteronomy 6:4-9 NIV: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. Psalm 78:5-6 NIV: He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children, so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. Psalm 51:6 NIV: Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place.
