Alone Together #12 The Socially Distant Epistles

How are you holding up? I’ve talked to a lot of people this week. I hear diverse thoughts, opinions, emotions, struggles, frustrations, gratitude, creativity, teachability, dependence upon God, and a few friends crying, “Let me out!!!!”

 

So this week, let’s read the Prison epistles:

  • Ephesians

  • Philippians

  • Colossians

  • Philemon

 

As you read, respond in your journal. Consider these questions:

  • What does Paul emphasize in these concise letters?

  • What is foremost on his heart and mind?

  • How does Paul keep his sanity?

  • How does Paul care for people from prison?

  • How do they do church without a building?

  • How did the first century church commit to love and unity while often isolated from one another?

  • How can we love our faith community?

  • How can we share Christ with a world that needs to see Him?

 

We’ll have a great discussion Tuesday as we learn from Paul on how to do Church in less than ideal situations.
