Lesson Three Notes, Plus

We had quite a discussion yesterday. It's tough solving all these theological dilemmas! And in just a couple of hours.

I did have a few notes from yesterday's lesson, so I thought I would post them in case anyone is interested. They are primarily in regard to the historical vs. hermeneutical (I've got to get this word out of my head!) interpretation of the Old and New Covenants--the Letter and the Spirit.

Lesson Three Notes

If you have a moment, you might want to check out an item I saw the other day. It is an entry on a blog about "The Gift of Tears." I had never heard this idea before, but being someone who has been blessed (cursed?) with this gift, I found this column interesting. Some people inherit great wealth, others good looks. This was my inheritance. Thanks a lot Mom and Dad.

Lesson Three: "Who Is Equal to Such a Task?"

This marks the beginning of a detour that Paul takes in his letter. In this lesson and the next, we're going to be talking about the Old and the New Covenant--the Law and the Spirit. We've talked about this in past lessons, but now we're going to get into even deeper theology behind these distinctions.

Study Guide for Lesson Three: "Who Is Equal to Such a Task?"

We'll see you all on October 29.

Lesson Two: Paul's Change of Plans

I had hoped to finish this study guide before the first pitch of the Twins' game this afternoon, but it didn't work out that way. I've still been watching as I've finished up. Blame baseball if the end of the lesson is a little fuzzy.

Backing up for a minute... I forgot to post my notes after our last meeting. If you're interested, you can get them at:

Now we're up to speed...Here's the link for the study guide for the new lesson:

It's the bottom of the fourth and 3-1 Detroit. Now I'm really praying.
See you October 15.
