Paul’s Church and Pastoral Epistles are presented with Dr.
Missler’s typical fast-paced delivery.
We begin with an overview of Paul’s relationship with the Corinthian
church and take away the trivia that first and second Corinthians are
technically second and fourth Corinthians, respectively. There are many life applications contained in
these two letters regarding the foolishness of God, stewardship and many other subjects.
The brief study of Galatians speaks of spiritual liberty and
applies the fruit of the Spirit to a trio of conditions: my heart, my neighbor and my God. The slides say “fruits” of the Spirit, but
Scripture is clear that it is fruit – singular.
A quick tour through the prison epistles showcases Paul’s
profound letter to the Ephesians regarding special relationships, revealing
mysteries and spiritual warfare, including a brief look at the armor of
God. Philippians provides resources for
suffering. Colossians is loaded with
doctrine and personal application.
The pastoral epistles were sent from Paul to Timothy, who
pastored the church at Ephesus. Paul
instructs and encourages his young protégé through both letters about how to
lead a flock. The first letter was a
charge, the second, a challenge. Leaders
will benefit greatly from studying these two epistles.
The teaching on Titus and Philemon is brief but rich in
history and beautiful life lessons.
