Jude Week Three Title Slide

Click here to download a PDF of the PPT for this weeks class. It was the most complex part of the letter of Jude we studied, and certainly the hardest week to limit our discussion down to an hour and a half.

This May I’ll be leading a four-week Adult Education class on “The Epistle of Jude”. The textbook for the class is NT Wright’s Everyone Series commentary on “The Early Christian Letters.” I have borrowed his structure of the letter of Jude for weeks 2-4, and have dedicated week one to an introduction to interpreting NT Letters.

The first week includes general hermeneutical principals as well as specific ways those principals work themselves out in NT Letters. And it includes resource suggestions for further study of the NT.

What following Jesus looks like - Matt 5-7

Click here to download the PDF of the PPT called “What following Jesus looks like: Matthew 5-7.” I’m taking One Hope  through the context, audience, and message of the Sermon on the Mount; using Bonhoeffer’s understanding of cheap vs costly grace to tease out the costliness of following Jesus.

Above is the sermon I preached at Centerpoint last week out of the first four chapters of the four Gospels.

Click here to download the PDF of the PPT I created for this sermon. As a church we’ve been going through an overview of the Bible put out by Zondervan called, “The Story.” This was the 2nd of 6 weeks we’ll spend on Jesus. The Story overs readings from all the Gospels on Jesus and arranges them at times in a chronological order and at times in a thematic order. At times it can be challenging to cover because of the amount of material involved. This was one of the more challenging segments for me to cover.

We covered the influence of the Intertestamental Period on the New Testament throughout the series, but especially focused on its influence this last week by look at the institutions, movements, and theological developments of the Intertestamental Period as they related to the New Testament.

Click here to download the PPT in PDF formate. We had 1 1/2 hours to cover the literature of the period which forced us to give brief overviews. I spent most of my time helping the class experience the influence of the Intertestamental Literature on the Bible (and visa versa), as well as reexamine some of their own understandings of the nature of the Bible.

Spring Adult Ed Catalogue

We have a great lineup of classes at Centerpoint for our Spring 2013 semester! As part of our Spring semester we have Dr. Daniel Kirk from Fuller Theological Seminary coming to Centerpoint to do a two-day Lecture Series called “The Rest of the Story” where he’ll be taking our people through an overview of the culture and history behind the New Testament.

Slide11

As part of our Adult Education Ministry at Centerpoint I’m offering a four-week class called “Between the Testaments: An Introduction to the Intertestamental Period.” The first two-weeks will be spent on the history of the period, the third week will be spent on the literature of the period, and the last week will look at how this period influences the New Testament.

Here is a low-rez PDF of the first two weeks, the history of the Intertestamental Period. I had to convert this file to low-rez because it was too large to upload. As you look through it also please realize there are several slides that have multiple layers so you aren’t seeing everything on the slides.
