Paul wanted to go to Jerusalem to minister to the Jews, but he received warnings from disciples telling him it was not God's will. However, Paul was determined to go, motivated by his strong love and desire to reach out to the Jewish people. When in Jerusalem, things went badly for Paul and he found himself arrested. The document warns that when we act outside of God's will, there can be difficulties and consequences as our desires may not align with God's plans. Ultimately, God's will prevails.
This document provides a summary of Paul's missionary journeys as described in Acts 15-18. It recounts Paul's travels through Syria, Cilicia, Galatia, Macedonia, Greece and more.

The summary highlights Paul's flexibility in adapting his message to Jewish and Gentile audiences and emphasizes the importance of following the Holy Spirit's leading, thoroughly studying scripture, and persevering in sharing the gospel.
Paul finds that the city of Athens is full of idols. He reasons with Jews, God-fearing Greeks, and others in the marketplace about Jesus and the resurrection. Some philosophers debate with Paul and bring him before the Areopagus council. Paul tells them that God is not contained in temples and wants all people to seek and find him. He calls them to repentance now that God commands it for all people. Some scoff at the resurrection while others want to hear more, and some people including Dionysius believe in Paul's message.
St. Paul's life transformed dramatically from persecutor of Christians to their greatest advocate. After his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, where he was blinded by a bright light and heard Jesus' voice, Paul underwent a conversion and became a sincere disciple. He spent years preaching in Arabia, Damascus, Syria, and Cilicia before Barnabas took Paul under his wing and introduced him to other Christians. Together, they were then sent by the church in Antioch to preach in Cyprus, Pamphylia and Phrygia.

On his third journey, Paul spent two years preaching in Ephesus and wrote letters including 1 Corinthians
1) Paul and Silas travel to Lystra where they meet Timothy. Paul has Timothy circumcised so he can help preach to Jews.
2) In Troas, Paul has a vision of a man from Macedonia asking for help. They go to Philippi in Macedonia.
3) In Philippi, Paul preaches to Lydia who becomes the first Christian convert in Macedonia after her household is baptized.
4) Paul casts a demon out of a slave girl, angering her masters. He and Silas are arrested, beaten, and imprisoned.
1) 1 Thessalonians is considered the earliest of Paul's letters, dated around 49-51 CE. It was written from Corinth to the church in Thessalonica.
2) In the letter, Paul thanks the Thessalonians for their faith and work, remembering their labor of love. He encourages them in the face of persecution and the death of some believers by reminding them of the resurrection of Christ and their waiting for his return.
3) Thessalonica was a major urban trading center, where Paul likely worked as a tentmaker while preaching and establishing the church there, drawing on the Cynic philosophical tradition of itinerant preaching.
Part 1 of a 4 part study on Paul's epistle to the Philippians. This epistle of brotherly love contains much helpful instruction as we seek to emulate Christ.
This document discusses evidence for dating the Book of Acts in the late 1st century CE. It notes that Acts references Bernice's affair with Emperor Titus, which places the text no earlier than 69 CE. It also mentions a possible quote from Acts in a letter by Ignatius of Antioch around 100 CE. The document then examines similarities between events described in Acts and those written about by Josephus to argue Acts was written after Josephus' works in the late 1st century. Finally, it analyzes inconsistencies between Acts and Paul's letters that make it difficult to claim the author of Acts was a companion of Paul, dating the text more firmly in the late 1st century CE.
Paul and Barnabas had a disagreement over whether to take John Mark on their second missionary journey. Barnabas wanted to take Mark but Paul did not, due to Mark leaving them during their first journey. They parted ways, with Barnabas taking Mark to Cyprus while Paul chose Silas and traveled through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches by preaching the gospel of salvation by faith alone. Paul then met Timothy and circumcised him to help him minister to Jews, as Timothy's father was Greek. Paul and Silas continued on their journey, delivering the letter from the Jerusalem Council and strengthening the churches' faith as they preached the gospel of salvation through faith in Jesus alone.
Paul wrote the letter of Philippians to the church in Philippi while imprisoned in Rome. Despite difficulties like Paul's imprisonment and persecution faced by the Philippians, a theme of joy permeates the letter. Paul explains that biblical joy comes from having peace with God and others, not from happiness which depends on circumstances. The Philippians are commanded to rejoice in all things through Christ who strengthens them.
This document provides an overview of Paul's second missionary journey as described in Acts 15-18. It summarizes Paul's travels spreading the gospel from Antioch through Asia Minor to Troas, Philippi, Thessalonica, Beroea, Athens, and Corinth, where he stayed for 18 months. Along the way, it highlights several important events from Acts, such as the conversion of Lydia in Philippi and Paul's speech to the Areopagus in Athens. The document uses maps and photos to illustrate the locations Paul visited and remains from the biblical era.
The document provides an outline and summary of Romans 1:1-17 from a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi. It discusses key points about Paul's introduction of himself and his mission, an overview of the church in Rome at the time, and explanations of several theological concepts in Romans 1:1-17 such as salvation through faith, the righteousness of God, and the gospel being for both Jews and Gentiles.

The document provides information about a sermon given at the First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on August 21, 2011. The sermon discusses the theme of joy in the book of Philippians. Though Paul and the Philippians faced difficulties like imprisonment and persecution, the book emphasizes having joy through trusting that God is in control and will use situations for good. The sermon contrasts biblical joy with fleeting happiness and outlines Paul's challenging life preaching the gospel despite opposition.
Paul travels to Corinth after leaving Athens and initially works with Aquila and Priscilla, tentmakers who had recently come from Italy. After Silas and Timothy join him, Paul devotes himself fully to preaching. When Jews oppose him, he moves to a Gentile's house next door. Many Corinthians believe, including the synagogue ruler Crispus. Paul has a vision assuring him of God's protection and stays 18 months teaching. He is brought before Gallio, the proconsul, but the case is dismissed as a religious matter. Paul sails to Syria with Priscilla and Aquila, stopping to fulfill a vow by cutting his hair at Cenchrea. He leaves them at Ephes
The church in Corinth faced many challenges due to the city's history, culture, and inhabitants. Paul founded this church and wrote 1 and 2 Corinthians to address various problems, including factions, idol meat, and questioning of Paul's authority. 2 Corinthians provides insights into pastoral leadership when dealing with an unhealthy church. It indicates Paul was ultimately successful in reconciling with the Corinthians, though some issues persisted.
This document provides context and background for Paul's letter to the Romans. It explains that Paul wrote the letter while staying in Corinth during his third missionary journey in around 58 AD. Paul wanted to warn the believers in Rome about apostasy and planned to visit Rome on his way to Spain. The document also discusses Paul's journey to Rome after being arrested in Jerusalem, as well as commending the strong faith of the believers in Rome.
1. The document provides a chronological study of Paul's life and epistles, beginning with events surrounding Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. It details Paul's conversion on the Damascus Road and subsequent missionary journeys, establishing churches throughout Asia Minor and Europe. Paul authored many epistles to these churches during his travels and imprisonments between approximately 37-67 AD. The document synchronizes the events of Paul's life with the order and dates of his New Testament letters.

Learning from the failings of a king saul - billericay 110320Paul Fuller
Saul disobeyed God's command to utterly destroy the Amalekites, sparing King Agag and the best livestock. When confronted by Samuel, Saul made excuses but was rebuked for prioritizing sacrifice over obedience. God's spirit departed from Saul, and an evil spirit troubled him. Saul grew increasingly jealous of David's success and tried multiple times to kill him. In his despair, Saul consulted a medium to contact Samuel's spirit, where he was rebuked again for disobeying God. Saul acknowledged his sin and errors before dying in battle against the Philistines.

The document emphasizes that blasphemy dishonors God and causes His name to be profaned.
Paul's third missionary journey brought him to Jerusalem, where he was arrested. He was taken to Caesarea and stood trial before governors Felix and Festus. Paul appealed to Caesar and was sent to Rome under guard by sea. During the difficult journey, Paul demonstrated great faith in God through his calmness, courage, and assurance that all would be saved despite facing storms, as God had promised. After many trials, Paul arrived in Rome and spent two years under house arrest preaching the gospel.

God promised Abraham and his descendants the land of Canaan as an inheritance. This promise of land, people, and seed of Abraham was established through God's covenant and is received through faith. The inheritance is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ and the restoration of God's kingdom.
The garments of the priests laindon - 240419Paul Fuller
The garments of the Israelite high priest were designed by God to represent important spiritual truths about Jesus Christ. The six garments - the ephod, breastplate, robe, embroidered coat, mitre, and girdle - were made of fine linen, gold, blue, purple and scarlet. Each color and material held symbolic meaning pointing to Christ's righteousness, redemption, and perfect priesthood which fulfills and replaces the shadowy law. The high priest's clothing typified how believers can be clothed in Christ's righteousness through faith to minister as priests in his coming kingdom.
This document provides information about an upcoming seminar aimed at demonstrating that the Bible comes from God. It will examine the unity of the Bible despite being written over 1600 years by 40 authors, the historical and scientific accuracy of the Bible, and the fulfillment of prophecies in the Bible as evidence it is divinely inspired. The seminar consists of 3 sessions on March 20th, 25th and April 3rd where attendees can ask questions. The document provides background on the Bible and outlines three tests that will be examined at the seminar: 1) the unity of the Bible, 2) the accuracy of the Bible historically and scientifically, and 3) the accuracy of prophecies in the Bible.
This document discusses the history of the Amalekites according to the Bible. It describes how Esau's grandson Amalek was the progenitor of the Amalekite people and nation. Several biblical passages are cited that reference the Amalekites attacking the Israelites or being defeated by them. The document suggests that Saul failed to completely destroy the Amalekites as God commanded. It notes that the Book of Esther identifies Haman, the main villain, as being a descendant of Agag, the Amalekite king captured by Saul. The document analyzes the biblical theme of obedience being more important than sacrifice and connects this to Saul's disobedience in sparing Agag.
- The document discusses the divided kingdom of Israel after King Solomon's reign. It summarizes how the kingdom split into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah after Solomon's son Rehoboam became king.
- It then provides biblical examples of how division has occurred throughout scripture according to God's will to separate people, as well as lessons about keeping separate from the world as God's ecclesia while awaiting unity in God's kingdom.
- The key events that led to the divided kingdom are summarized, including the reigns and numbers of kings in both Israel and Judah, and how they were held accountable before ultimately falling or being conquered.
1. The document discusses the roles and significance of cupbearers and cups in scripture. Cupbearers were trusted royal servants who tasted drinks for poison and filled the king's cup.
2. Cups represented both blessings, like the cup of blessing for communion, and judgments, like the cup of God's wrath. Important cups included those mentioned in Ezekiel, Zechariah, and Revelation.
3. Joseph's silver cup was used to test his brothers, and cups symbolized the new covenant established by Jesus's blood in the Lord's Supper. Believers must worthily partake in communion by self-examination.
What did jesus mean by i beheld satan fall from heaven laindonPaul Fuller
Jesus was referring to Satan's original fall from heaven as described in scripture. When the 70 disciples returned from their mission announcing that even demons were subject to them through Jesus' name, Jesus saw this as Satan being cast down from heaven. He told them that while controlling spirits was significant, their true cause for rejoicing was that their names were written in heaven, referring to salvation. The document explores related biblical passages around demons, healing, and God's power over Satan.
1. The document discusses the importance of true fellowship between believers and outlines steps that can be taken to protect fellowship, including ensuring clarity about beliefs, spending time with those of like faith, and gently addressing errors according to Jesus' teachings in Matthew 18.
2. Maintaining oneness of mind is important, and errors of teaching require separation, though with a spirit of correction, not condemnation. Forgiveness is appropriate for matters of conduct but not issues of doctrine.
3. The next study will cover the future fulfillment of fellowship.
The document discusses the priesthood in scripture, focusing on Jesus' priesthood being after the order of Melchizedek rather than the Levitical order. It notes key differences between the Levitical and Melchizedek priesthoods and their implications. Specifically, (1) Jesus' priesthood provides believers a better hope and way of salvation through His one-time sacrifice, (2) all believers have the opportunity to become priests like Melchizedek rather than based on birthright alone, and (3) Jesus serves as a merciful high priest who can empathize with human struggles.
The document discusses themes in the book of Hebrews from the Bible. The main themes are that Jesus and his sacrifice provide something better than what came before, including a better hope, priesthood, covenant, resurrection, and outcome for believers. It notes several verses that highlight these better things, such as Jesus being better than angels, his covenant and sacrifice being superior, and there being a better country and outcome for those who have faith.
Names and titles of the lord - prince of peacePaul Fuller
This document is the agenda for a Bible class discussing names and titles of Jesus Christ, focusing on him as the Prince of Peace. The summary discusses how Jesus will bring peace both presently and in the future, referencing several Bible passages that describe a future time of peace and prosperity under Jesus' kingdom when he returns. It also notes how there was little peace in 1st century Judea and references Jesus weeping over Jerusalem's lack of recognition that he was their Prince of Peace.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Paul's second journey 4
5. An initial dispute between Paul & Barnabas
• Who was John Mark? – see Acts 12:12 son of Mary and Colossians 4:10,
Barnabas’s nephew/cousin
• He left Paul & Barnabas – see Acts 13:13
• The “contention” between Paul & Barnabas was “sharp” – see Acts
15:36-41 – Greek word “contention” is “paroxusmos”
• Mark went back to Jerusalem; to join Peter? – see 1 Peter 5:13
• Paul & Mark were later fully reconciled – see 2 Timothy 4:11
• The work of the Lord continued: Paul on his second journey which
reached out to Greece; Barnabas to Cyprus
Paul's second journey 5
6. Strengthening “our brethren…”
• The second journey was initiated by Paul to visit “our brethren”- see
Acts 15:36
• This love and concern Paul had for his brothers and sisters is a defining
characteristic of his – 2 Corinthians 2:4
• This is an enduring responsibility of all believers to build and strengthen
one another – see Hebrews 10:33-35
• Paul did not know when Jesus would return but we know it to be close
at hand – “so much the more, as ye see the day approaching”
Paul's second journey 6
7. Paul not permitted to preach further in Asia
• Paul was actually forbidden to preach in certain areas – see Acts 16:5-8
• Then received a vision in Troas – see Acts 16:9-10 – the man of
Macedonia
• We must be ready and active in spreading God’s word as the apostles
did – see 1 Peter 3:15
• We too are called according to God’s purpose not our own – see 2
Timothy 1:9
Paul's second journey 7
8. Success followed by opposition in Philippi
• Philippi an important Roman city founded by Philip II the father of
Alexander the Great, on the Via Egnatia (Rome to Byzantium)
• This was the first city Paul came to that had no synagogue, so they went
to a place of prayer, by the river – see Acts 16:12-15
• A young girl called out after Paul – see Acts 16:16-18
• Paul was accused of being a Jew teaching disloyalty to Rome – see Acts
16:19-24
• Whilst Paul & Silas are in prison there is an earthquake
• Two different battle grounds are defined – Jewish v Gentile
Paul's second journey 8
9. Human philosophy versus divine revelation
• Paul leaves Berea and sails to Athens – see Acts 17
• Athens was the centre for the worship of many gods, notably the
Acropolis – Paul preached Jesus and the resurrection (anastasis) :18
• The Epicureans and the Stoics took him to the Areopagus, which was
the Athenian court – accused of introducing a foreign god
• This was the clash of the Greco-Roman world view and Paul’s Jewish
world view
• What they in ignorance tried to reason out, Paul told them the One
True God had revealed through Jesus and his resurrection – see :22-31
Paul's second journey 9
12. The calling of many Gentiles in Corinth
• Paul moved on to Corinth, where he was joined by Silas and Timothy
and remained for 18 months – see Acts 18:1-18
• Corinth was a wealthy and powerful city, rebuilt as a Roman colony by
Julius Caesar in 44BC (springs of water; fertile plains & passing trade)
• It had seaports at Lechaeum (W) and Cenchreae (E) and had a unique
and widespread reputation for immorality
• A city of contrasts: 50% slaves; mostly poor with a small minority rich
and powerful
• Represented a clash between the desires of the flesh and the
commands of God
• Gallio ruled that following Jesus was merely a variation of Jewish
worship – see 18:12-17
Paul's second journey 12
17. Returning home via Ephesus
• Whilst Paul was at Corinth he wrote his two epistles to the
Thessalonians (circa AD 51/52)
• Paul confirms a vow – see Acts 18:18
• As was his habit, Paul, when he arrived at Ephesus, went to the
synagogue – see Acts 18:19-21
• He left Priscilla and Aquila to await his planned return
• He then went first to Jerusalem and then to Antioch in Syria (:22)
Paul's second journey 17
19. Some lessons for us
• We must also build one another up and strengthen one another
• We are battling against the product of human reasoning, as against
divine revelation – initiative v receiving
• We are also fighting against the desires of the flesh, as against the
commands of God – internal v external control
• The foundation of our belief is the One True God, His son Jesus Christ
and resurrection (‘anastasis’) and that foundation is established
throughout both the Old and New Testaments
• We too must take the Gospel message to any who will listen
• We must submit to the providential care of Our Heavenly Father
