Lesson Three: Confirmation of the Truth

Paul is convinced that he is teaching the true gospel. And Paul is convinced it is the true gospel because he was given this gospel by Christ himself. Even so, because he has encountered some conflict over his teachings, he decides to consult with the pillars of the Church in Jerusalem to settle the matter.

This lesson can teach each of us something about how we are to handle conflict regarding our faith. When are we called to speak up or to keep silent? And when we do speak up, how are we to do so? What are our responsibilities? How do we know when we are acting out of God's will or our own? Better to think about these things ahead of time, before you get caught up in the heat of the moment, than to respond out of reflex and regret the outcome.

Study Guide Lesson Three

In addition to Lesson Three, we will also be discussing Chapter One of the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults.

See you on October 28!

Lesson Two: The Source of Truth

I did say that you shouldn't get used to my posting our study guide early, didn't I?

Here's my defense:
1. We went to Duluth for a few days.
2. It's been really nice outside.
3. The Twin's have been playing post-season baseball games. (Although that's not working out too well.)
4 And it's been really nice outside.

Enough excuses! I finally have the study guide finished.

Study Guide: Lesson Two

If you still have difficulty printing this guide, could you please let me know? I think that the key to success is to send the file to your printer by using the print command on the Google page instead of the one from your browser. Just follow the steps that I sent earlier in an email to the group.

Don't forget, we're also going to cover the Preface and Introduction in the US Catholic Catechism for Adults.
See you on Thursday!
