Paul study for 1/18/13

Posted on with 3 Comments

I want us to address suffering and grace a little more this week. Refresh your memory on Paul's passages on his own suffering and what they mean.

 

Here is part 2 of last week's assignment that we didn't even get to: 

There seems to be a connection with Paul between suffering and grace; let's explore that.

Read: Romans 3:24-25, 5:8. Whose suffering is this and for what purpose?

Read: Philippians 1:29: whose suffering is this, and why?

Read: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10; what is Paul's theological conceit here?

Finally, read Philippians 3:10-11, Does this tie up the above thoughts nice and neat or make it muddier?

 

Also read 1Peter 3:16, just for fun.

 

Going deeper: Acquire Galatians

If public schools are closed tomorrow due ice / snow, can you please make an update to confirm if Bible study is cancelled. No update assumes study is happening. Thanks.

Yes, boys and girls, let us be dictated by whether CMS will have school or not. Check your local listing etc. etc.
