C. S. Lewis once said, “[Paul] is the Christian author whom no one can by-pass.” Whether we like it or not, he is the author or influence behind all of the pastoral letters of the New Testament. Paul cannot be ignored. Further, Paul cannot be ignored because these letters pre-date the gospels making them the earliest documents of the latter testament. The value of these letters cannot be understated. They continue to have vital sway on the nature of church, God’s call to sanctification, and warnings about those who might pervert the Good News. While written shortly after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, they are still informative and influential. As with many things, it continues to come down to the question, will we have ears to hear?
I invite you to join us for
our mid-spring series, Living Letters. Each week we will lean into one of them
discovering their relevance for us. I
invite you to join in on this lively discussion as we seek together God’s
wisdom and lessons for the church.
Remember - all are welcome to join us here. - Rev. Dr. Jim Hoffman
