For Mission Sunday, Mark interviews
Dr. John Barclay
, a distinguished New Testament
scholar known for his insights on the writings of Paul. Originally from London, Dr. Barclay grew
up in a Christian home and studied
classics and theology at Cambridge. He now serves as
Professor of Divinity at Durham University.
Dr. Barclay believes that living out our faith means staying connected to today’s world
just as
Paul did when he addressed the culture and social status of his
time. Paul proclaimed that both
Gentiles and Jews were called to experience the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
Dr. Barclay shared three key theological truths:
1.
We are, first and foremost, children of God.
2.
Grace draws us into the life of Christ
not to do as
we wish, but to follow God’s leading.
3.
Love is fulfilled when it binds us together in unity.
Listen as Mark explores Dr. Barclay’s faith, family, education, and his powerful insights on
Paul’s writings about grace.
