Saint Paul

The Bible records that Paul had a thorn in the flesh. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10) There was a probability that Pauls’ thorn was related to an unsteady gait caused by the fall from the bright light in Acts 9 as well as aging. However, the Lord informs Paul that grace was sufficient for any physical impairment. The project participants stated that Paul was a murderer and God was punishing Paul for breaking the commandment, thou shall not kill. The Project Director elaborated on Paul asking God for…

Paul is one of the most prolific writers in the Christian faith. After his conversion following his persecution of members of the Christian faith, Paul dedicated his life to spreading the word of Jesus Christ and helping maintain the Church alongside the Apostles. Paul eventually suffers for his role in the church by being beheaded. However, in his various letters, Paul helps guide the early church with various problems that arise. In his letter to the Galatians, Paul is specifically guiding…

1:1–5 Luke introduces his letter to Theophilus and provides the beginning context. Title: Greeting and Jesus’s Departing Speech  Title: A Continuation of Luke’s Gospel and Jesus is Leaving, but His Spirit Remains Luke, the writer of both the Lukan Gospel and the book of Acts, commences the book of Acts by revealing that this book will differ from the Gospel: in the Gospel, Jesus personally taught; in Acts, Jesus teaches by His Spirit through His people. Seeing their Master on the verge of…

Unfortunately, it is not entirely clear from Scripture why Paul wrote to the Ephesian Church back in 62 A.D. from behind the bars of a Roman prison. However, Acts 20:31 (READ THE TEXT) reveals Paul spent three years in Ephesus so he knew the Ephesians well, so one theory as to why Paul wrote Ephesians can be found in (TEXT) Eph. 6:21 in which Paul says, “so that you may also know how I am and what I am doing.” From the text, it can be concluded that Paul was simply letting the Ephesian Church…

Paul's teachings. Timothy was credited as the assistant author of the letters to the Corinthians and other Epistles, the greetings are "Paul and Timothy". 2 Cor 1, Phil 1:1, Col 1:1, 1 Thess 1:1, 2 Thess 1:1, Philemon…

Second Timothy is a book that Paul writes as a good bye letter to Timothy. In the book Paul is telling Timothy to carry on the ministry. He expresses this in Second Timothy four verse five, “As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” Another main point Paul is trying to get across to Timothy, is to guard the treasure of the gospel. One place he puts that in the Bible is in second Timothy one verse fourteen, “By the Holy Spirit who…

During the apostle Paul imprisonment, he wrote a letter to the church, in the book of Colossians. The apostle Paul intent was for the people to live as best they could, the life that Jesus lived. These were the instructions that he gave to the church. Epaphras is believed to have founded the church (Col. 1:7). He communicated with Paul while he was in prison, letting Paul know a couple of things was taking place. Although some people were getting saved in the church there was still a lot…

Much can be gained by a study of the personal letters of a first-century missionary to one of his most trusted disciples. Paul wrote almost half of the New Testament, but only four of his letters are written to individuals. Of these four, I’ve chosen 1Timothy to further explore. Thirty years of labor for the gospel took its toll on Paul. His body bore the suffering of a servant of Jesus Christ. The intensity of his sufferings never changed the intensity of his love and concern for the churches…

written by the apostle Paul. No one really argues about his authorship due to him referring to himself throughout his letter. Some critics attempt to state that Paul is indeed not the author but failed (BKC.1 Thess p.690). He often used three first person plural pronouns when referring to himself or Silas and Timothy (MSB 1 Thess p.1841). Paul and Silas first went to preach in Berea but once the Thessilonian Jews heard of Paul's preaching, they kicked him out. Paul went to Athens…

which the cross brings in its train .” Fundamentally feeling ashamed means to be embarrassed by feelings of guilt; but no one should ever be humiliated for the astonishing miracle God performed through His Son on that old rugged cross. The Apostle Paul shamelessly calls out in the Book of Romans, Chapter 1 Verse 16, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes...” No believer of Jesus Christ should ever be humiliated for the sake…
