Oh my, what a great question we have today for our Bonus Series, Ask the Pastor, It's a question I'd be willing to bet you've asked before, or you've been asked before: Will Christians go through the tribulation? Joshua York explains his view on this question, and gives grace to Christians who believe differently.

He talks about two primary views on "tribulation," one from the angle of dispensationalism (which is the type of church I grew up in), which interprets the apocalyptic literature of the Bible literally. This view gained traction back in the early 1900s with the publishing of the Scofield Study Bible (my mom had this Bible) and enjoyed immense popularity with the Left Behind series in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The other angle, covenant theology, interprets apocalyptic literature much more symbolically. Joshua fleshes out these two arguments and explains why he believes one is more scripturally accurate.

Here is the sermon he references in the episode, "The Hope of His Coming": https://youtu.be/rgo5vOafDIY

Y'all I am super excited for this week. We are moving into our winter program and for the next two weeks we will look at the two books of the New Testament which stand alone with just ONE CHAPTER!!

This week is the book of Philemon. This is a deeply personal letter from the apostle Paul to his friend, with an important request. Paul follows an ancient Greek and Roman philosophy formula designed in three steps for maximum acquiescence:

1) Build rapport with your audience

2) Pursuade them that your request is legitimate

3) Target the emotions

As you read this week, consider how Paul implements each of these steps while forming his appeal to Philemon.

Join me next week for the full discussion of this beautiful letter.

Today is an exciting day (I say with a tear in my eye) as we finish the Book of Acts in our Women's Bible Study,

It's a tale of swashbuckling adventure as Luke writes an EPIC narrative that rivals any shipwreck story we can think of. Luke also encourages us to think about another stormy adventure we find in the Old Testament, and see the God who is in complete control over both stories, as he delivers his servants to their destinations.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 3 John 1:4

This surely must be the greatest blessing, gift and comfort for parents, to see their children come to faith in Christ. But perhaps you are a parent and you haven't received this blessing yet. Perhaps you have adult children who have not surrendered their life to Jesus. I'm sure many sleepless nights can be accounted for spent in tears and prayer.

What about an adult child who struggles with salvation? They have prayed to be saved, but they don't "feel saved." How does a parent guide and encourage them?

This is the heart of our question today in our ASK THE PASTOR series. Joshua explains, the Bible is very clear about salvation. It isn't based on feelings or emotions, but it is a confession and a heart belief, which results in a changed life. Have a listen to hear how Joshua explains it.

OK, we get you ready to finish the book of Acts this week with the reading of the final two chapters, Acts chapters 27-28.

Paul is finally heading to Rome!

It's been 30 years (give or take) since Jesus told his disciples they would be his witnesses to the end of the earth. Does that seem incredible to you? It boggles my mind in the most amazing way!

Be sure to listen all the way through to the end to find out what's happening after we finish with Acts. I'm calling it our "Winter Program." (That makes it sound more official.)

Our penultimate weekly Bible study of the book of Acts reads like a script from a Broadway play, Our main character Paul stand trial before three powerful men, Governor Felix, Governor Festus, and King Agrippa II.

The Jews are still blood thirsty, and even the passage of time has not curbed their blood lust.

Paul finally arrives at the decision to appeal to Caesar, and although Festus promises to send him, he waits on the council of King Agrippa, who is an expert in Jewish customs.

In the end, we find that God is in ultimate control, just as he is today.

We've got a really interesting question today for our Bonus Series, "Ask the Pastor."

One listener asks, "How important is it for the church today to observe or honor the biblical feasts and festivals, for example, the Passover Seder?

Have you ever considered this question?

I'm back with my Sr. Teaching Pastor, Joshua York, and he digs into this question with some help from his regular Sunday morning preaching series through the book of Hebrews.

The feasts, festivals and food laws were a central part of the Mosiac Law, and the ancient Jewish people knew them like the back of their hand. But did they stand alone or did they point to something greater? Do the writers of the New Testament speak to Old Testament feasts fulfilled in the New Testament? Are Christians obligated to keep Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles? How are we to understand the Law of Moses vs the Law of Christ?

Joshua says a lot in just a few minutes on this jam-packed episode. It's good to stimulate the mind and think deeply about Spiritual things. I hope you enjoy this special episode.

This week we have three of my favorite chapters in the book of Acts: Acts 24, Acts 25, and Acts 26. If you have listened to me for very long, y'all know I am a history nut, and these three chapters bloom with history.

In this week's reading you'll encounter two Judean Governors: Antonius Felix and Porcius Festus. You'll also meet King Agrippa and his sister, Bernice.

There's a surprise in this Prepisode, as you get "a little extra for no charge," a treat usually reserved for full episodes. But don't worry, it won't spoil it for the discussion episode, because next week I'll have A LOT of extra for no charge as I fill in some of the historical details that will help with some context.

As always, you can find a little extra for no charge at She Walks Worthy Podcast on Facebook or Instagram. And I'd love for you to reach out and tell me your family Christmas Traditions for an upcoming holiday bonus episode!
