The apostle Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians has a different characteristic than that of the first letter. The first letter was mainly a correction epistle where Paul had to correct disorderly conduct in the local assembly at Corinth.

Outline of the Book of Acts
Acts is another very interesting book in the New Testament that is just after the four gospels. The book starts in a similar way to the gospel of Luke, and therefore on that basis we can conclude that this book was written by Luke, who also wrote his gospel. We get some sections in ActsContinue reading “Outline of the Book of Acts”

Saul and Saul
This is a very interesting title to read about. There are two main people who were called Saul in the Bible. One in the Old Testament who was the first king of Israel, and the other in the New Testament, who perhaps was the last apostle called by the risen Lord.

Each of the gospels tell this scene with a small difference, but we see a complete picture of the discourse betweenContinue reading “The Rich Young Ruler”
Preaching to the spirits in prison
Many Christians get confused with the verse in 1 Peter 3:19, which at first glance suggests that the Lord Jesus Christ went to hades to preach to those there. In fact, this has become some kind of doctrine among many, that when the Lord died and was buried, He went to preach to the peopleContinue reading “Preaching to the spirits in prison”
The thief on the cross
Luke 23:39-43 – ‘and one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds:Continue reading “The thief on the cross”
