Band of Brothers

The Chief of Sinners | Week 12 | Ken Miller--In this lesson, we will look at the five “missing” years that seem to occur after the end of the Book of Acts. Our primary source will be Paul’s final letter (2 Timothy). Our objective is to assess the viability of a fourth trip that Paul took it. We will also look at his final trial and subsequent execution.--Notes

The Chief of Sinners | Week 11 | Ken Miller--Paul finds himself under house arrest in Rome, awaiting a trial before Nero, the Roman Emperor. But he is far from perturbed or anxious about his state of affairs. During his lengthy two-year imprisonment, Paul writes a series of letters to the churches he had helped to launch. In this lesson, we will examine the key themes and doctrines found in these prison epistles.--Notes

The Chief of Sinners | Week 10 | Ken Miller--This lesson will cover Paul’s circuitous and far-from- pleasant trip to Rome. In it, we will examine his relentless determination to suffer well while serving faithfully. Even while undergoing deprivations and difficulties that would make most men give up, Paul remained faithful to his calling and determined to trust God with his life and message.--Notes

On the Road Again | Week 9 | Mitchell Dorris--This lesson will focus on Paul’s defense before King Agrippa. We will unpack who this character was in order to understand the exchange between him and Paul. One of the primary themes in Paul’s dialogue is the doctrine of the resurrection.--Notes

On the Road Again | Week 8 | Ken Miller--Now under Roman protection, Paul undergoes a series of interrogations to determine the nature of his arrest and the Jew’s accusations against him. Paul’s Roman citizenship will come into play, as well as his knowledge of the feud between the Pharisees and Sadducees. We will also examine the Jewish and Roman views of “the way” and explore the various characters in the story.--Notes

On the Road Again | Week 7 | Ken Miller--In this lesson, Paul ends up in Jerusalem, and we will see his ongoing battle with the Jews come to a head. His three missionary trips proved to be successful, but they left him with many enemies who wanted to put an end to his ministry and life.--Notes

On the Road Again | Week 6 | Mitchell Dorris--This will be Paul’s third missionary journey. We will examine the three years in he spent in Ephesus. The themes and doctrines found in 1 & 2 Corinthians will shed light on some of the issues he was having to deal with.--Notes

On the Road Again | Week 5 | Ken Miller--On this second missionary trip, Paul and Barnabas part ways and Paul travels with Timothy and Silas. While in Corinth, Paul writes his two letters to the believers in Thessalonica. On this trip, Paul begins to experience increasing hostility to his message and ends up in prison in Philippi.--Notes

The Chief of Sinners | Week 4 | Ken Miller--This lesson will cover Paul’s first missionary journey as he and Barnabas take the gospel to the Gentiles. We will look at key verses from the letter he wrote to the church in Galatia that reveal the doctrines he covered to address the issues they were facing.--Notes
