In Philippians three, verse ten, the Apostle Paul expresses a desire to share in the suffering of Jesus Christ. And for most of his thirty-five-year ministry, suffering is exactly what Paul endured. Coming up next, Ron takes us to Paul’s appearance before the Jewish Supreme Court. His life is on the line, but rather than defend himself, he defends the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
If you were on trial for being a Christian, what would you say? How would you defend yourself? In Acts chapter twenty-two, the Apostle Paul appears before the Jewish Supreme Court, also known as the Sanhedrin. But rather than defend himself, he defends the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And he does it, surprisingly enough, with a cheerful attitude. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who faced more pressure during his life and ministry than the Apostle Paul. How did Paul handle outside pressure? What practical lessons can we learn from his response to adversity? Stay with us now to find out, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
Anxiety seems to be at an all-time high today. Pressures at work, pressures at home, the pressures of failure, and of success. But few people have endured the kind of pressure the Apostle Paul had to face. As Paul neared the end of his ministry, he made his way to Jerusalem to preach the Gospel. Shortly after Paul arrived, he was threatened by the Jews, beaten by the Romans, and finally--after declaring his Roman citizenship--he wa...
Here’s what God said about the Apostle Paul in Acts chapter nine: “I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.” During his thirty-five-year ministry, the Apostle Paul suffered greatly for the cause of Christ. Today, Ron reminds us that we, too, may be asked to make sacrifices, maybe even to endure suffering, for the glory of God and for the advancement of the Gospel. Stay with us now as Ron continues his series, “Paul: Su...
Through the years, there have been thousands of books written on self-improvement, but very few on self-denial. Salvation is a free gift from God. But followership, walking in the will of God day by day here on Earth, that’s going to cost you something. Today, Ron takes us once again to the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul, a man who suffered greatly for the cause of Christ. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead with his teachin...
“But I do not count my life of any value, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” The Apostle Paul said those words to the Ephesian elders in the book of Acts, chapter twenty. It was a farewell address, as many of those present would never see him again. Today, Ron takes us to some of Paul’s final words as he continues his teaching series, “...
Grace is more than what God gives us. It’s who He is. If anyone understood the grace of God, it was the Apostle Paul. He experienced it on the road to Damascus, he witnessed it during his ministry, and he wrote about it extensively in his New Testament letters. How does Paul define grace? What’s so amazing about it? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
Coming up next, Ron takes us to the Apostle Paul’s third and final missionary journey. It was a season in which Paul took a bold stand for Christ in the midst of heavy opposition. But it was also a time when the power of God was on full display. Stay with us now as Ron continues in his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
“For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” The Apostle Paul wrote those words to the church in Rome, a few years before he made it there in person. He penned the letter from Corinth, either during or shortly after his third missionary journey, when God’s power was on full display. Ron gives us an in-depth look at Paul’s third and final mission trip today, as he moves ahe...
Jesus called His church the light of the world. And He called us to pierce this present darkness, not to avoid it. The Apostle Paul spent eighteen months getting the Corinthian church up and running. That means he didn’t just turn the light on, he left the light on. Today, Ron shares three key lessons from Paul’s time in Corinth, as he continues his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
Before America had Las Vegas, ancient Greece had a Sin City of its own. During his thirty-five-year ministry, the Apostle Paul shined the light of Jesus Christ in some very dark places. But none was darker than the city of Corinth. Idolatry, immorality and sexual sin ran rampant. And yet, Paul not only took the Gospel to this den of depravity, he stayed for eighteen months in spite of heavy opposition. It’s a testimony of great fai...
The world may tell you to follow your heart. But God says the heart is deceitful above all things. It’s true, if we don’t guard our hearts, they’ll lead us straight to trouble. But how do we do it? What does guarding our heart look like? Find out next, as Ron continues his teaching series on the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul.
If it were a crime to share your faith in Christ, would there be enough evidence to convict you? The Apostle Paul was no stranger to conflict. He proclaimed the Gospel of Jesus Christ wherever he went, and for that reason he was beaten three times, thrown in prison three times, and stoned at least once. None of that stopped him from sharing his faith. Today, Ron takes us once again to Paul’s life and ministry, as he continues his t...
When God opens a door, He almost always opens the heart of someone on the other side. The Apostle Paul was no stranger to this truth. God opened doors for him in ministry all the time, and almost without exception, Paul walked through them and helped lead someone to faith in Christ. Coming up next, a wonderful story of faith and redemption from Ron’s teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
When God closes a door, He doesn’t always open a window. Sometimes He opens a better door. There may not be a better illustration of how God opens some doors and closes others than Paul’s second missionary journey. Plenty of practical lessons for us to learn during this season of Paul’s life, including some of the ways we can know and discern God’s will for our lives. Stay with us now as Ron moves forward in his teaching series, “P...
In the Christian faith, there are certain foundational truths that cannot be compromised. Others are open for debate, but what should those conversations look like? Many churches have adopted what we might call the Augustinian view of Christian doctrine: In the essentials, unity; in the non-essentials, liberty; and in all things, charity. Today, Ron explains what that should look like in the life of the church, as he moves ahead in...
The Christian faith is comprised of essential doctrines and non-essential doctrines. The trouble is, we don’t always agree on which ones are which. Well, this is hardly a new problem. Back when the church was just getting its start, there was already some back and forth about the essential Gospel of Jesus Christ. That’s when the Apostle Paul, along with Barnabas, traveled to Jerusalem in hopes of resolving these differences. Ron ta...
When Saul of Tarsus came to faith in Christ, little did he know how much he would suffer for his faith. Today, Ron shares some of the events that took place during the Apostle Paul’s first missionary journey. It’s a story of partnership, persecution and perseverance, and it comes your way next, in Ron’s teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
In a grand display of irony, Saul of Tarsus came to faith in Christ on his way to persecute believers in Christ. God intervened in a miraculous way, striking Saul blind and giving him vision in the process. And what a vision it was. Today, Ron takes us to the Apostle Paul’s first missionary journey, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”
