Are you ready to see the New Testament in full color and experience the "Fullness of the Time"? Join John Barnett—recording straight from a historic, smoke-scented building in London—for the epic launch of a 52-week journey through the life of the Apostle Paul. Using the Book of Acts as the grand, panoramic timeline, this course masterfully pieces together all 13 of Paul’s epistles exactly where they belong in history to reveal the divine format of God’s plan.
Here is why you need to watch this foundational first class:
The Devotional Engine: Transforming Your Bible into a Battlefield Manual
This isn’t just a listening exercise; it is an active mission. John opens his personal journal to teach you his powerful devotional method: reading a chapter, assigning a title, writing a one-sentence summary, extracting life lessons, and—most importantly—crafting a customized prayer to unleash God’s truth into your daily life. You will be challenged to vigorously mark your Bible, which will transform you into an instant Bible study leader equipped to share the Word wherever you go.
The Imperial Stage: Staring Down the Emperors of Rome
(Galatians 4:4-5, Daniel 2) Why did God launch the Church when He did? John takes you on a virtual walk through the British Museum to look directly into the stone faces of the Roman Emperors who impacted the early church
. You will discover how God flawlessly aligned human history—from the four ancient empires of Daniel 2 to the Roman Empire’s vast road systems and military outposts like Hadrian’s Wall—to set the global stage for the Gospel exactly in the "fullness of the time".
The Quitter Who Wrote a Gospel: Grace for Your Failures
(Acts 13) As John studies the launch of Paul’s first missionary journey in Acts 13, he highlights the ultimate story of a second chance. You will learn how a young John Mark was terrified by the darkness of the pagan world and quit the mission, yet God was so incredibly patient that He restored this young "failure" to eventually write the Gospel of Mark alongside Peter. If you have ever stumbled in your faith, this class proves God is the God of new beginnings.
The 14-Year Crucible: Embracing Your Season of Obscurity
Did you know the greatest missionary in history spent over a decade in the shadows? John reveals the staggering math of Paul’s ministry: he spent 14 years in silent training (in the deserts of Arabia and waiting in Tarsus) just to be able to serve and suffer for 10 explosive years on the frontlines. If you feel sidelined or stuck in a waiting season, this lesson will show you why God’s preparation is never wasted and how He always knows your exact address.
"Present your body a living sacrifice." (Romans 12) Just as the ancient Romans made daily, mandatory offerings to the little idol statues in their homes, John challenges you to wake up every morning and offer your life exclusively to the true and living God. Watch this inaugural class to fire up your journal, mark your map, and boldly step into God’s purpose for your generation!
