  The Miracles of Jesus [John]

  I Corinthians  

The Church in Corinth was in many ways the most "spiritual" congregation in the apostolic era, yet intermingled with its devotion to the Lord was gross immorality and great confusion regarding the work of the Holy Spirit. The book speaks with startling clarity to the many issues before the Church at large today.

1. Division & Boasting     #M2371    42:28

  II Corinthians  

Actually, the fourth of a series of letters from Paul to the church in Corinth, this epistle lays bare the gamut of Paul's deepest emotions as he defends his ministry. His concern is not personal insecurity, but the grave consequences to the Corinthians themselves that will ensue if they reject the apostolic gospel and embrace some other one.

2. Treasure In Earthen Vessels     #M2482      37:45

6. Weakness And Strength     #M2486     43:55

  Galatians  

The shattering conflict between the Law and the Gospel is he great theme of Paul's letter to the Christians in Galatia. At stake was the very basis of our salvation: is it something we must earn or merit, or is it the gift of God's grace? The subtle temptation to add requirements to what God has offered freely in Christ was already pervavsive in the first century. How much more so today?

  Ephesians  

A study of the great epistle of Christian fellowship in which the "mystery of God's will" - that He would unite all things in Christ - is disclosed. Paul's very practical teachings on relationships, especially that of husband and wife, are discussed.

1. God's Hidden Agenda     #M2521    46:21

2. The Living Example     #M2522     44:06

6. Ready For Anything     #M2526     40:30

  Philippians  

One of the warmest of Paul's letters, to a church that had entered into spiritual and finanaciial partnership wih him. A call to servanthood and (subsequent) greatness.

3. Taking The Form of a Servant     #M2543    31:24

A towering masterpiece of correlation and contrast between the work of Christ as our great High Priest and the whole Old Testamental sacrificial system.

12. Hebrews Part 12     #M2642     33:27

  James  

A series on "the most misunderstood book in the Bible." James explores, perhaps more deeply than any other writer, including Paul, the full implication of salvation by grace. The lectures demonstrate that the whole "faith vs. works" controversy rests upon false premises.

  I Peter  

Once considered brash, impetuous, and even comical, Peter finally becomes precisely what Jesus called him to be: a rock and a tower of strength who encourages others to stand fast in the midst of trial.
