The Book of Romans – Part 2 | The Epistles of The Apostle Paul

What is an Epistle?—One of the letters, written openly, adopted as books of the New Testament. Paul authored 7 canonized letters. These are the letters or epistles to Rome, Corinth, Galatia, Ephesus, Philippi, Colosse, and Thessalonica. 

What is an Apostle?—Apostle (Gk. Apostolos). Envoy, ambassador, or messenger commissioned to carry out the instructions of the commissioning agent.

Who is Paul?—This is the former Saul of Tarsus, a Jewish Rabbi of the Jewish sect of law-keeping, brilliant-minded, hard-hearted Pharisees of which we read so much of in the gospels. We learn of this man called Saul in Acts chapter 7, a man filled with rage and hate for the Christians. He hated what was being preached, so much so that he consents to the death of the first Christian martyr, a young man named Stephen.

The Blessed Life Part 5 | Authentic Christianity Series

In our first message here from the beatitudes we explored the setting and the context of the Word blessed. Makarios=happy, satisfied, inwardly content. The first beatitude was poor in spirit! Thank God that’s the starting point! We are destitute, unable to provide for ourselves. We are in complete need of everything from God spiritually. We must recognize that we do not have what we need within ourselves, our humanity is corrupt. But the story doesn’t end with our corruption as we will see. There is an escape. 

We started at the ground level with our ladder of The Beatitudes—

Rung 1- Poor In Spirit

Rung 2- Pressed In Soul

Rung 3- Patient In Strife

Smoky Mountain Jubilee

I can’t stress enough just how important it is for God’s people to take full advantage of the God-given benefit of corporate worship, fellowship and encouragement built on God’s Word! In February, Trinity has the distinct honor to be one of the host churches for the Smoky Mountain Jubilee. This will be an incredible time of refreshment and spiritual sustenance for the entire family. Miranda and I can’t wait to see you there. Our very own Jubilee Choir will be singing, along with Amber Saunders and 11th hour.

There will be preaching by our Pastor Emeritus, Evangelist Dr. Ralph Sexton, as well as preaching by Dr. Joe Arthur and Dr. C.T. Townsend.

We will gather in beautiful Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on February 10-11, 2022. The beautiful LeConte Center will be the new Smoky Mountain Jubilee home venue. This event is completely free as we gather to hear powerful preaching from great men of God, experience Spirit-filled worship, and enjoy great Gospel singing by amazing choirs and southern gospel group favorites.

All evening services begin with music at 6:00 PM then preaching begins at 7:00 PM. The Friday morning service begins at 10:00 AM.

No tickets or reservations are necessary; however, registration is an absolute must for adequate seating.

Call the church office at 828-254-2187 for more information or visit the Smoky Mountain Jubilee Facebook page for current updates.

Come praying, come believing and I’ll see you there!
