The Bible in a Year

What do you do with a "thorn in the flesh" God won't take away? In Episode 450 of The Bible in a Year, Pastor Kevin Cain and Rev. Dr. David Spence finish 2 Corinthians with one of the most comforting promises in Scripture, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness," then work through the entire Book of Galatians, Paul's bold letter on grace, faith and freedom in Christ.
Paul never names his thorn in the flesh, and Rev. Dr. Spence suggests that's on purpose: every one of us carries something. Pastor Kevin shares honestly about his own, and why prayer is a process, not a vending machine. Then the conversation moves into Galatians, where Paul confronts the Judaizers who insisted Gentile believers be circumcised, defends the gospel he received straight from Jesus Christ, and even calls out Peter to his face at Antioch. Along the way you'll hear what it means to be "crucified with Christ," why Abraham was justified by faith, how Paul uses Hagar and Sarah to explain law and promise, and why the fruit of the Spirit is one fruit, not many.

How do you hold on to hope when life presses in from every side? In 2 Corinthians 1–11, the Apostle Paul writes his most personal letter, and it all starts with "the God of all comfort." Pastor Kevin Cain and Rev. Dr. David Spence walk through it on this episode of The Bible in a Year.
Paul had been beaten, imprisoned, shipwrecked three times, and opposed by "false apostles" inside the church, yet he could still say, "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed." In this Bible study, Pastor Kevin and Rev. Dr. Spence unpack how God comforts us in our troubles so we can comfort others, why every promise of God is "Yes" in Christ, and what it means to carry the treasure of the gospel in fragile jars of clay. You'll also hear why our "light and momentary troubles" are achieving an eternal glory, what it means to be a new creation in Christ, and how to take every thought captive when anxiety and negative thoughts creep in.

How does Paul pull a divided church back together? Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence finish 1 Corinthians and find the answer running through every chapter: unity, built on love and anchored in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. They start with Paul's call to run the race for a crown that lasts forever and his promise that God always provides a way out of temptation. From there they cover the Lord's Supper and what it means to "discern the body," one body with many gifts, and the famous "love chapter," where love is something you do, not just something you feel. They close in 1 Corinthians 15, Paul's plainest statement of the Gospel: Christ died, was buried and rose again, seen by more than 500 witnesses, and if He hasn't been raised, our faith is in vain.

Corinth was a busy, worldly port city, and the church there was split into camps: "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas." Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence open 1 Corinthians with Paul's question, "Is Christ divided?" and his answer: preach Christ crucified, a message the world calls foolishness and God calls wisdom. They then cover Paul's practical teaching on growing from milk to solid food, building your life on the one foundation that survives the fire, and treating your body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. They also discuss church discipline, marriage & singleness, and how to use your freedom so it never becomes a stumbling block for someone else.

"What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me?" Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence take up Paul's most honest question and follow his answer through the rest of Romans. They start with the war between the flesh & the Spirit, then reach the high point of Romans 8: creation groaning like a woman in labor, the Spirit praying for us when we have no words, and the promise that nothing can separate us from the love of God. From there, they cover Paul's anguish over Israel, the call to be a living sacrifice transformed by a renewed mind, praying for those in authority, and Paul's closing greetings to Phoebe, Priscilla and Aquila, and Rufus.
