Paul was highly educated, an able communicator, widely traveled, and misunderstood. People who heard him talk about Jesus actually came away from the conversation thinking he was proposing two new gods for worship. We’ll examine the misunderstanding, identify a way our postmodern world misunderstands the Christian gospel, and reflect on what it means for us.

Scott Seaton, pastor of Emmanuel Church in Arlington, speaks with us about Christian identity, and how even Jesus (John 2:12-22) found a “gap” between how followers of God are supposed to be, and how we actually are. Scott encourages us to hope for how things can be, and to look beyond our human, imperfect selves to make religion and life fulfilling.

Study Guide (pdf): 05.25.08 Good News For All Peoples

Visiting pastor Scott Seaton preaches from Luke 24:44-47, and how we bring nothing to God, but gain everything anyway. When we get overwhelmed we often feel the urge to pretend, perform, or paralyze.
