This Week's Worship

Romans 2:16; 16:26; 2 Timothy 2:8-13
The life of the Apostle Paul is fundamentally characterized by his mission to preach the gospel. His transformative encounters with Christ and his engagement with other believers ultimately culminated in the proclamation of the good news.
Some biblical scholars argue that Paul's writings do not provide a comprehensive narrative of Jesus’ life, suggesting that he deliberately omitted the message of the kingdom.
However, such an interpretation reflects a misunderstanding of Paul’s theological approach to Jesus’ teachings. Rather than neglecting the kingdom message, Paul reinterpreted it in practical terms, contextualizing it to fit diverse cultural and social settings.
His commitment to conveying the truth of Christ in ways that were accessible and meaningful to various audiences underscores his role as a bridge between Jesus’ teachings and the broader Greco-Roman world.
