An Overview of the Gospels
We have four Gospels: What do they have in common? How do they differ ... and why do they differ? Who were these four Gospels written for? Jews or Gentiles? Six excellent styudies: 4 summarising each Gospel and two comparing and contrasting them.
Emmaus
THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS is truly a descrption of what the disciples experienced in Jerusalem from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. The emotional highs and lows and highs. What did the two on the Road to Emaus talk about?
Ephesians
Ephesians is the High Water mark of holy revelation. It takes the risen, ascended Christ to the highest heaven, far above all, to the right hand of God, to the heavenly places ... and it takes the beleiver there also!!! Fantastic! This letter tells us that we shall be with Christ in the heavenly realms in the coming ages where He is to show us the unsearchable, the incomparable, riches of His grace (Ephesians 2:6-7) . And it is all by grace! And Ephesians tells us so much more.
Colossians
This series gives the background to Colossians, when it was writte, why it was written. We are then given an introduction to the letter with a detailed lkook at the first fourteen verses, with some significant insights. These two stuides are by MIchael Penny. We then are given a very helpful Overview of Colossians by Sylvia Penny.
Philippians
Paul wrote Philippians right at the end of Acts. He had been in prison for five years or so, and yet this is the letter of 'Rejoicing'. He was expecting his case to be heard soon. Would he be freed or would he be executed?
Philemon
Three studies on Paul's letter to Philemon. The first is an overall study of the whole letter. Then we have two shorter studies by WIlliam Henry who first looks at the letter from Philemon's point of view and then, in from Onesiumus'.
Romans 6
Shall we sin ... so that grace may be greater? How did the Christians in Rome come to such a view? MIchale Penny give the background and the answer.
3 John
John is a writter that loves contrasts; e.g. light and darkness. He uses such symbols throughout his gospel and all three letters. In this letter he introduces us to three people Gaius and Demetrius, on the one hand, and Diotrephes, on the other. Diotrephes was a believer who had serious problems in wanting to be 'the' leader and have a following, so much so, he was willing to denegrate other believers, even John
Christian Marriage
Marriage is the union of a man and a woman. A CHristian Marriage is the union of a man and a woman loving one another as God would have them love. It is the union between The Perfect Wife and an Ideal Husband. Sylvia and Michael Penny share the teaching of "The Wife of Noble Character" from Proverbs 31:10-31 and Paul's commands to husbands from Ephesians 5:24-33.

The Acts of the Sinful Nature

transforming and earth-shattering is the furit of the Spirit, we need some appreciation of just what are the acts of the sinful nature.
