The lesson on September 27, 2020 was part 15 of "John's Gospel" study. In this lesson, we learn of the three trials of Jesus and how they broke all the laws of the time, Jewish and Roman for the sake of "expediency". The lamb of God must be without blemish as he paid for our sins. The Chief Priests Annas and Caiaphas with Pilate felt it was expedient to kill Jesus for the sake of keeping the peace even though Pilate declared him an innocent man. The trial of Christ under Hebrew and Roman law was full of illegalities with high irregularities. The critical aspect of these fake trials was the outcome of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. John 18:4-19:30 covers events culminating in the death of Jesus. John 19:31-42 cover incidents leading up to his burial and John 20:1-31 express the consequences of his resurrection. This message was timely given we are seeing in America the appointment of a new Supreme Court justice who should be dedicated in upholding the law of the Constitution and not compromise the legal system like they did with the trials of Jesus Christ. The scripture reading was from John 19:19-22 KJV

This study looks at Paul’s latter ministries and journey(s) which would have occurred after the close of Acts and the writing of the last seven books Paul wrote before he was executed by Niro. The goal of this study is to find evidence of Paul's fourth and perhaps a fifth missionary journey and when The Mystery was revealed to him during his journeys. Why this study? We need answers to some important questions: When did the church which is his body begin? This is essentially the same as asking – when was the mystery of Eph 3:9 revealed?

Resurrection - Part 1. Paul said it best, if we have hope only in this world, we are all most miserable (1 Cor 15:19). When the Sadducees approached Jesus in Mark 12:18-27, they put forth a question about “resurrection”. It was clearly stated that the Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection so their question was attempting to make Christ stumble. His response to them not only validated a resurrection, but emphasized an important point... they were in error from not knowing the scriptures.
