  • 370.2: May 24; Breakdowns and Breakthroughs (Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Week 19)

    God made Alma the Elder’s burdens light… but it appears Alma the Younger did not have the same experience. Alma the Younger’s conversion experience transformed the most difficult period of his life into the fuel for his ministry. We can act rather than react, even in the most difficult circumstances. And even when we act… Continue Reading

  • 348: Oct 27; Nov 3. Kingdom Come (New Testament Weeks 43-44)

    I love gospel paradoxes, which are life paradoxes. What makes a good leader? The same characteristics that make someone a good servant or disciple. What makes us ready to die? The same principles that make us ready to live. How can we be prepared for Jesus to return? By doing the same things that make… Continue Reading

  • 347: Oct. 13, 20. Challenge and be Challenged by (New Testament Weeks 41-42)

    How are you liking Church? The answer depends largely on your personality and context. One of the trickiest challenges about being human is that well-being exists beyond preference… Whether it’s going it’s exercising or serving our neighbor, it’s usually those things that we didn’t want to do that we are glad to have done! This… Continue Reading

  • 346: Sept. 22; 29. Weakness, Strength, Difference (New Testament Weeks 38-39)

    When we read the letters of Paul we only hear half the conversation… and even that half not very well sometimes! It is easy to forget who Paul is arguing with. Well in Galatians, he makes his opponents very clear.. surprisingly, they include Peter and Jesus’ other brother James! 2 Corinthians and Galatians invite us… Continue Reading

  • 345: Sept. 8; 15. Body and Spirit (New Testament Weeks 36-37)

    Paul had a bit of a tortured relationship with the saints (who often were nothing but) in Corinth. We benefit from his struggles however, as he addresses these problems with gospel living. In these chapters Paul teaches about life in the spirit, sanctification and resurrection, and our daily new life in Christ. Reading: 1 Cor.… Continue Reading

  • 343: Aug 11; 18. Trust, Grace (New Testament Weeks 32-33)

    If we are saved by grace, what’s the point of going to Church? In his magnum opus, Paul wrestles with such questions as the relationship of faith and works, the fate of Jews and Gentiles, and sets the record straight about his own mission. Reading: Romans 1-6; 7-16. You can access my Lesson Notes here.Annotated… Continue Reading

  • 342: July 28; Aug 4. Paul the Defender (New Testament Weeks 30-31)

    Paul tells us he is “all things to all people” (1 Cor. 9), and in these chapters we see the master at work. Watch for how he adapts his message to each audience. And underneath that adaptability is his resolution to follow God’s will and preach from Jerusalem to Rome. Reading: Acts 16-21 (Home Study);… Continue Reading
