Genesis, compiled by Moses during the 40 years of wondering in the wilderness, serves as the foundational text of the Hebrew Scriptures. In its final composition, around the 15th-5th centuries BC, it intertwines historical events, myths, and genealogies. Against the backdrop of Ancient Near Eastern cultures, Genesis diverges from Babylonian and Canaanite creation myths by emphasizing a single Creator and underscores God's intentional design of creating humans in His image and likeness. Genesis reveals God's sovereignty over creation and human history. It lays the foundation for God's divine prophetic plan for redemption, laying the theological groundwork for the Scriptures' narrative arc.

Paul addresses Philemon, Apphia, and Archippus — along with their whole house church — as a united community rather than just individuals. This introduction highlights the collective responsibility of believers in living out the gospel as it will personally apply to Philemon and his slave, Onesimus. Written from prison, it appeals for mercy and reconciliation with Onesimus, Philemon's runaway slave who became a follower of Jesus. The letter reflects Paul's emphasis on Christian virtues, highlighting themes of forgiveness, equality, and brotherhood amidst the new humanity. It encourages Philemon to view Onesimus not merely as a slave but as a beloved brother in the Faith, fostering a transformative perspective on social relationships within the early Christian community.

The author of these three letters is likely John, the son of Zebedee and Salome, brother of James, (aka, the "dearly loved" disciple or the "son of thunder [anger]") (See the writings of Irenaeus, c.140-203; Clement of Alexandria, c.150-215; Tertullian, c.155-222; and Origen, c.185-253). John's three letters were likely addressed to Jewish house-churches (or a singular house-church) around Asia minor (i.e., Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea, etc.) where he had his greatest influence. These churches were grappling with schismatic influences of Jewish/Christian-Gnostic teachings (e.g., like the false prophets and teachers in 2 Peter, Jude, and the Nicolaitans of Pergamum in Revelation 2.12-17). This early Christian Gnosticism↗︎ , while not formally structured or methodized yet, was separatist and morally liberal in their gathering and community.

Letter of Jude (Gk. "Judas", Hb. "Judah"), the brother of James and half-brother of Jesus, addresses a Hellenistic (Grecianized) Jewish-Christian audience facing false teachings. John wrote to refute a developing form of Gnosticizing Judaism (e.g., like the false prophets and teachers of 2 Peter, 1-3 John, and the Nicolaitans of Pergamum in Revelation 2.12-17) that advocates for a liberal lifestyle. This early Christian Gnosticism↗︎ , while not formally structured or methodized yet, was separatist in their gathering and community. 2 Peter (written a few years later) expounds on Jude’s preemptive warnings and condemnations. Amidst these concerns, Jude draws on the Hebrew Scripture to reveal the the consequences of rebellion. The letter shares similarities with 2 Peter, indicating its influence on 2 Peter. Jude opposes Gnostic tendencies by emphasizing standardized doctrine, the authority of the Apostles, and the importance of one's beliefs revealed by congruity of their lifestyle. Additionally, it alludes to non-canonical Jewish literature, suggesting this Gnostic groups relience on Apocryphal writings. Written to combat heresy and encourage moral steadfastness, Jude urges believers to contend for the true faith, emphasizing divine judgment and the need for spiritual vigilance.

As Christians, we are equipped with spiritual weapons. These weapons are designed to defeat our spiritual enemy, the devil, and his servants. Our enemy wages a wat for our heart on the battlefield of our mind. Although already disarmed and defeated by Christ, we may empower the enemy through our thoughts, actions, and beliefs. This study will explore four key truths regarding our spiritual warfare: the battlefield, the armies, the weapons, and the cost.

As Christians, we reveal the extent to which we trust the Father by how we manage the resources given to us by Him. However, this trust extends beyond just the resources He’s given us. It includes trusting Him with our lack of resources as well. The term ‘stewardship’ simply means to supervise or manage something that belongs to another person. This study will explore four primary resources God’s entrusted to us: time, talent, treasure, and intellect.
