The Whole Counsel Of God (Preaching And Teaching)

The Whole Counsel Of God (Preaching And Teaching)

How much of God’s Word should we preach?

To the Apostle Paul, the answer was ALL OF IT. And that’s just what he told the Ephesian elders in Acts 10. He told them that he had not refrained from preaching and teaching the whole counsel of God, and he expected them to do the same.

Questions That We’ll Answer:

A) Why did Paul invite the Ephesian elders to meet with him?

B) Why did Paul tell the elders they’d never see his face again?

C) What other points did Paul emphasize during their last visit?

Questions That We’ll Answer:

A) Why is John 17 referred to as the ‘high priestly prayer?’

B) Who did Jesus pray for in this text? And what did He say?

C) In what way is Jesus interceding for you this very moment?

The Magnificat: Understanding The Song Of Mary

The Magnificat: Understanding The Song Of Mary

What is the ‘Magnificat?’

The ‘magnificat’ is the name that we give to Mary’s song in Luke 1, in which she declares that her soul ‘magnifies the Lord.’ In today’s study, we will see that this is one of the most counter-cultural songs ever written.

Questions That We’ll Answer:

1) What news did the Angel give Mary? What was her response?

2) Why was it necessary that the Messiah be born of a ‘virgin?’

3) What makes the ‘magnificat’ so counter-cultural?
