Overview and Objectives
This course offers an analysis of four of the epistles that Paul wrote from prison (Colossians, Ephesians, Philemon, and Philippians). As Christians we face many challenges to our faith. False teachings and worldviews assault our loyalty to Christ. Suffering tempts us to think that God is not in control, or that He does have our best interests at heart. And our relationships with other believers are often strained to the point that we doubt the value of the church. But Paul responded to these types of difficulties in his letters from prison. This course is a study of these epistles, based on the DVD lessons of Dr. Reggie M. Kidd produced by Third Millennium Ministries.
When you complete this lesson, you should be able to do the following:
- Demonstrate an increased interest about God’s sovereign plan in our lives and grow in your interest in studying Paul’s life and teachings.
- Understand key information about the background of the prison epistles.
- Apply the lessons from the life and ministry of Paul to your own life.
As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
God used Paul’s imprisonments to advance the gospel and the kingdom of God. How has God worked through adverse circumstances in your life to advance his gospel and kingdom?
