Running the Race - Part 2

The lesson on April 3, 2022 was part 2 of “Running the Race” study. Wayne took over seven minutes up front to provide commentary on the first two stanzas of the hymn “I Know Whom I Have Believed” and how it is very Calvinistic and he explained why so we will be cautious when they use that to forward their movement. Afterwards, Wayne continued the lessons in Hebrews after reviewing what we learned previously. We looked expressly at the structure of Hebrews 1:1-2 in how God spake in times past. In the Greek it suggests that the translation of “by His Son” may be better expressed “in Son”. This is further expounded upon by our scripture reading in Colossians. The scripture reading this week was from Colossians 1:15-20 KJVShow more

“15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.”
