Dec 07, 2025December 7, 2025 - Sunday AM Bible Class
In this episode Neal announces a new quarter-long study of 2 Corinthians and explains why the class begins with Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians rather than First Corinthians. He places the letter in historical context (Acts 18–20), ties it to the later prison epistles (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon), and recommends earlier teaching on First Corinthians by Hiram and Brittany as helpful background.

In this episode we begin a verse-by-verse study of the book of Philippians, focusing on chapter 1 and its historical context. Chris sets the scene by reviewing Acts 16 — the Macedonian call that brought Paul, Silas, Timothy, and Luke to Philippi — and highlights key persons like Lydia and the Philippian jailer who played roles in the church’s founding. The episode also situates Paul’s letter historically, explaining his Roman imprisonment (house arrest around AD 60–62) and how that confinement shaped the letter’s emphasis.
