"Devoted" - Preaching at Harderwyk - Acts 25- August 29, 2021


Resources For "Devoted" Series From Each Harderwyk Preacher

I. New For This Week

Why Does The Resurrection Matter? - In Acts 25:19, Roman governor Festus summarizes Paul's message as being about "a dead man named Jesus who Paul said was alive."  The truth of the Gospel stands or falls on the resurrection of Jesus (I Cor 15:1-32)  This brief YouTube by British scholar NT Wright is a marvelous explanation for our time of exactly WHY the resurrection matters.  CLICK HERE for the video.

Deconstructing Our Culture's Catechism - And while we are on YouTube, CLICK HERE for the video by Tim Keller of that name.  In Celebration, we took a moment to compare and contrast one statement of our "Culture's Catechism"  with Heidelberg Catechism #1 as an example of what Dr Keller is speaking about.

Resources For "Enough" From Each Harderwyk Preacher I. New For This Week BibleProject Overview of Colossians - CLICK HERE for their helpful online video. An Early Copy of the Book of Colossians - CLICK HERE to learn some about "P46" - a papyrus copy of Paul's epistles from about one century after Paul would have first written it.  Note: No dating can be exact, and there is often debate about just when a book of the Bible was written, and then again over the age of any given manuscript that we possess, so none of this can be exact.   CLICK HERE for some actual photographs of P46 and the page where Colossians actually begins!  Also of note: Half of P46 is housed at the University of Michigan library.  Unfortunately for this sermon series, Colossians is in the half housed at the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin, Ireland.  Celebration Sermon Outline - CLICK HERE for this Sunday's Sermon Outline.
