The Pauline Epistles are 13 books that are included in the canon that are written by Paul. Nine of these letters were addressed to local churches.

Apostle Paul was one of the most influential leaders of the early church. His role in spreading the Gospel to the Gentiles with his missionary journeys was crucial to the Church. Paul started more than a dozen churches. Before his role a champion for Christianity, Paul was known for persecuting Christians.

Join us as we walk through Paul’s greetings, instructions, and encouragement, where we learn to live in response to the Life of Christ.

These letters tend to cover 3 general issues:

1. Doctrine: What Christians should know
2. Application: What Christians should do with doctrine
3. Logistics: Specific Instructions

I am certain you will not be disappointed.
