Are you ready to stop reading your Bible in black and white and finally experience it in high-definition color? Join us on a sweeping, monumental 52-week expedition that will fundamentally change how you view the New Testament.
In this comprehensive masterclass, John uses the Book of Acts as the grand timeline, slotting all 13 of the Apostle Paul’s epistles into the exact historical and geographical moments they were written. This is not just a dry history lesson about the First Century; it is an urgent, modern-day mandate asking you one inescapable question: How are you doing at reaching your generation?
Here is why you must commit to this life-changing course:
The Imperial Stage: The "Fullness of Time" & The Roman War Machine
(Galatians 4:4-5) You cannot fully interpret the New Testament without understanding the massive, imposing shadow of the Roman Empire. John proves that Jesus did not arrive at a random moment in history, but exactly in the "fullness of the time" (Galatians 4:4). You will discover how God sovereignly engineered the Pax Romana, a common Greek language, and an unbelievable network of Roman roads so the Gospel could instantly go global. You will take virtual tours through the British Museum to look directly into the carved stone faces of the Caesars—Augustus, Tiberius, Claudius, and Nero—seeing firsthand how God used their empires to set the stage for His ultimate plan.
The Cosmic War: Python Spirits, Sorcerers, and Invincible Saints
(Acts 13, 14, & 16) Erase your ideas of a peaceful, quiet early church. John exposes the gritty, brutal reality of the endless "Cosmic War" Satan waged against the spread of Grace. You will stand on the frontlines of spiritual warfare as Paul blinds Elymas the Sorcerer to reach the highest levels of Roman government, commands a demon to leave a "Python-possessed" occultic slave girl, and is dragged out of the city of Lystra and stoned with rocks, only to miraculously stand back up and walk right back into the city. Through these events, you will learn the ultimate survival secret: You are immortal until God’s earthly plan for you is finished.
The Blueprint of Grace: Reading Mail in the Trenches
(Acts 15, Philippians 4) Have you ever wondered why Paul’s letters sound the way they do? In this course, you will read them from the very trenches where they were forged. You will read the fiery defense of Grace in Galatians immediately following the intense theological battles of the Jerusalem Council. You will study the "Prison Epistles" (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon) while virtually standing with John inside the Praetorium of Caesarea Maritima and the dark dungeons of Rome, discovering how Paul unleashed divine, supernatural joy while locked in chains.
The Devotional Engine: Transforming Your Bible into a Battlefield Manual
(Acts 6:4, Romans 12) This course is designed to make you an active participant in God’s mission, not a passive spectator. John opens his own heavily marked journal to teach you his personal "Devotional Method" for all 115 chapters of Acts and Paul’s epistles. You will transform your daily study by assigning a title, writing a one-sentence summary, extracting life lessons, and crafting a deeply customized application prayer. Furthermore, John issues an urgent practical challenge: arm yourself with the pocket-sized "God’s Simple Plan of Salvation" tract, stash it in your wallet, and pray daily for divine appointments to share the words by which we are saved.
"It is the duty of every generation to reach their generation for Christ." Stop merely gathering biblical trivia and start letting the Word of God transform you. Take the Paul’s Life and Letters course today to deploy the Antioch Model of prayer and fasting, learn to be a "Little Christ" in your community, and carry the Unstoppable Gospel into your own world!
