A Study in Ephesians - July 23rd 2006 - January 14th, 2007
Ephesians does not seem to have originated in any special circumstances, but is simply a letter springing from the author's love to the church. It is an indication of his desire that they should be fully instructed in christian doctrine. However, unlike Romans, which is an exposition by Paul of the gospel of salvation, Ephesians unfolds the consequences of salvation, particularly in relation to the church.

The book of Acts - January 21st, 2007 -
Acts tells the story of the early christian church, with particular emphasis on the ministry of the twelve apostles and of Paul of Tarsus. The early chapters, set in Jerusalem, discuss Jesus's resurrection, his ascension, the day of Pentecost, and the start of the Twelve Apostles' ministry. The later chapters discuss Paul's conversion, his ministry, and finally his arrest and imprisonment and trip to Rome.
