Part: 3
In this lesson, we see how Timothy, a co-worker of the Apostle Paul, demonstrated the self-giving, self-emptying love of the Savior in his life, helping to fulfill Paul’s ministry as the apostle to the Gentiles. Raised by a believing Jewish mother and grandmother in a mixed household, the young disciple was recruited by Paul on his second missionary journey. Paul then had Timothy circumcised for effective ministry among Jews, and took him as a faithful traveling companion for about 12 years. Paul called Timothy his “likeminded” son in the faith, praising him as a proven, selfless servant who sought “the things which are Jesus Christ’s”—not his own—through dangers, hardships, and humble labor.

One of the true marks of a friend is that he is there when there is every reason for him not to be, when to be there is sacrificially costly. We learn in this episode that Silas was unwavering as a co-worker of the Apostle Paul through beatings, imprisonment, and persecution. He was a faithful companion on the apostle’s entire second missionary journey, traveling and ministering through Syria, Cilicia, Galatia, Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, and Corinth. Silas proved himself a selfless preacher of the gospel, a man of the Word and prayer, and a true friend who displayed sacrificial love and steadfast loyalty—in the trenches of ministry—rather than seeking his own comfort.

The Apostle Paul accomplished far more through teamwork with co-workers in the Body of Christ than he could have alone. In this episode, we examine one of Paul’s earliest and most prominent companions in ministry—Barnabas. Surnamed “son of consolation” by the apostles for his generous spirit of encouragement, Barnabas joined Paul on his first apostolic journey to preach grace to both Jews and Gentiles. Though Barnabas later faltered in hypocrisy with Peter and clashed with Paul over taking John Mark on a second journey (leading to their separation), Scripture highlights him as “a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith,” whose ministry added many to the Lord.

Part: 8
Christ’s resurrection gives us that quiet acceptance and assurance of a future and hope beyond the grave. This lesson walks through 1 Corinthians 15:5-10, listing the eyewitness appearances of the resurrected Lord—to Peter, the twelve, more than 500 brethren at once, James (Jesus’ unbelieving half-brother), and finally the Apostle Paul, the former violent persecutor of the Jewish church who was radically converted on the Damascus road and eventually penned 13 epistles in our Bible, while also planting churches worldwide. By all these accounts, we see the impact the resurrection had in changing and transforming people’s lives back then and how it continues to affect hearts today.

Part: 6
Every member in the Body of Christ is equally vital for success, for without everyone doing their part, it cannot function effectively. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12:12-27, the Apostle Paul reveals that in this dispensation of grace, the Holy Spirit baptizes every believer—regardless of background—into one unified Body, creating beautiful unity amid diversity. We see in this episode how God sovereignly places each member with unique gifts exactly where He wants them, so no one should feel unimportant or self-sufficient. Instead, all must honor and care for one another, avoid schisms or envy, and serve with Christ's humble mindset, because everybody truly is somebody essential to the Church's purpose in being a light to the world by grace through faith in Christ.

In Christ, we have the hope of eternal life, the hope of the Rapture, the hope of our resurrection, and the hope of reunion with our saved loved ones who have passed away. Thus, because of the certain hope we have in Christ, when we grieve at the death of our loved ones, we grieve with hope. Through passages such as 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, Romans 15:4, and Revelation 14:13, this episode shows that God is the Father of mercies who comforts us in all tribulation so we can comfort others, and that death for the believer is “blessed” rest and “gain,” a doorway to Christ’s presence and future reunion at the Rapture. Thus, while grief is real, painful, and takes time, we can still grieve with the sure, living hope of seeing our saved loved ones again and being forever with the Lord.

During the Tribulation, there will be a group of people who will be “God’s Untouchables.” The 144,000—12,000 Jewish men from each of the twelve tribes of Israel—will believe in the true Christ and not be influenced by the satanic corruption of that day. This lesson shows they will faithfully bear the fearful persecution and threats of the Antichrist (“the Beast”), and, having been supernaturally protected by God’s seal on their foreheads, will endure to the end of the prophesied seven-year period. In stark contrast to the Beast’s followers, these blameless servants illustrate God’s faithfulness to Israel during Jacob’s trouble, and their example of total devotion, truth-speaking, and sacrificial service offers timeless principles for believers today to walk as children of light and hold forth the Word of life.

Following the Rapture of the Church, at the beginning the Tribulation, God will supernaturally raise up two literal witnesses in Jerusalem to preach the saving message of the gospel of the kingdom—repentance and faith in Christ as Messiah— with many responding in faith. We see in this episode that, empowered by the Holy Spirit, these individuals will prophesy and perform miracles for 1,260 days. At the Tribulation’s midpoint, however, the Beast kills them and their bodies lie unburied in the streets of Jerusalem while the world rejoices. But then, after the Spirit of life resurrects them and they ascend to heaven in a cloud before their enemies’ eyes, God begins pouring out His judgment, reminding us to be grateful for this age of grace and to witness boldly in the power of the Spirit while we still can.

There will be much deception in the future Tribulation, and the False Prophet will be at the center of it all. In this lesson, we learn that as the Antichrist’s religious right-hand man and the Holy Spirit’s counterfeit, the False Prophet appears lamb-like but speaks with satanic authority, performs lying wonders, commands the world to build and worship a living, speaking image of the resurrected Antichrist, and enforces the visible mark of the Beast so that no one can buy or sell without it—while true believers must endure by faith, trusting God for daily provision as taught in the Sermon on the Mount. There is also considerable deception today under grace, and we need to stay vigilant and focused on Christ and His Word to guard against Satan’s subtle doctrinal errors.

This episode explores the Antichrist. Called “the Beast” in Revelation 13, he is a human Jewish man who will rise to global power from among the Gentile nations immediately after the Rapture of the Church. He will initially appear peaceful, signing a seven-year covenant with Israel, but midway through the Tribulation he will be assassinated, resurrect from the dead (counterfeiting Christ’s resurrection), and then demand worldwide worship while blaspheming God, desecrating the temple, and brutally persecuting believers for the final 3½ years. Still, God will sovereignly limit the Beast’s reign, ultimately destroy him at Armageddon, and cast him into the lake of fire. This prophecy serves both as a warning for those left behind and as encouragement for today’s believers to focus on Christ’s return at the Rapture rather than speculating about the Antichrist’s identity.
