21) Understanding The Significance Of The Pauline Epistles, Part 2

Summary: This sermon explores the significance and structure of Paul's epistles in the New Testament. It emphasizes the importance of understanding Paul's gospel, the mystery revealed to him, and how these fit with the prophetic scriptures. The pastor highlights the intentional arrangement of Paul's letters for spiritual edification, explaining how they progressively build up believers in doctrine, reproof, and correction. The sermon stresses the importance of grace as not just a theological concept but a life to be lived, cautioning against both legalism and using grace as an excuse for sin.
