Gayle reviewed our lessons on Paul from the book Understanding Paul by Virginia Wiles.

She went back over the outline of how Paul says that...

• Sin and the law separates us from God (the law cannot be fully followed because of the short comings of sin)
• Gentiles are also called to follow God
• God wants to fulfill His convenant by bringing shalom to the world.
• God justifies the ungodly through Christ. He loves all people--unconditionally, even the most evil of people.

Matt taught our first lesson of the year. We discussed how Paul tells Christians not to despise each other over differences of opinion. What ever you do, do it for the glory of God.
