The Letters: Life Lessons from the Apostles

Much of the story of the earliest days of church history are recorded in the Book of Acts. As we read, we see the Apostles gathering for prayer, expectant about the coming of the Holy Spirit and the ministry of the church that will soon follow (Acts 1:8, 14). Then, on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit comes to indwell each believer to fulfill the work of the Great Commission (Mt 28:18-20; Acts 1:8, 2:4). In the remainder of the Book of Acts we read about the growth of the church, the struggles they faced, and ultimately about our God who reconciles common people to Himself, transforms them by the Holy Spirit, and uses them to carry out His mission.    

Parallel to the time period recorded in the Book of Acts, many of the Apostles began their writing ministries. Scripture teaches that these were not ordinary Letters, but as instruments of the Holy Spirit, God spoke through the Apostles to guide them as they wrote theses powerful Letters to instruct, encourage, and correct the churches (2 Tm 3:16).

Today, our moment seems distant from the events of the early church, but in many ways, we face a lot of the same struggles and temptations that the early church faced. In Chapel this Semester, we will be examining The Letters and the Life Lessons that the Apostles addressed.
