This series takes us into the heart of Paul’s writings, focusing on the “faithful sayings” he recorded in his letters. These short, memorable statements were designed to strengthen the early believers and still provide powerful guidance for disciples today. Across these lessons, we explore how these sayings bring stability, perspective, and encouragement in our walk of faith.

Jesus Christ Came to Save Sinners

The first saying reminds us of the foundation of the Gospel: that Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Paul’s personal reflections bring this truth home, urging each of us to see our own need for mercy and the transforming grace of God.

The Office of a Bishop

From doctrine to practice, Paul turns to the importance of leadership in the ecclesia. This session explains why the role of a bishop, or overseer, is called a “good work,” and how spiritual service requires courage, humility, and a willingness to guide others in faith.

Godliness is Profitable for All Things

This saying contrasts the limited value of bodily exercise with the lasting worth of Godliness. Paul highlights that a life shaped by Godliness holds promise not only for the present but also for the future, giving us a perspective that endures beyond passing concerns.

The Kindness and Love of God

The series concludes with a celebration of God’s kindness and mercy shown through Christ. This faithful saying points us to the hope of eternal life, reminding us that our salvation rests not on our works but on the grace of God richly given through his Son.
