As readers continue to study through the Pauline epistles, it is likely that a repetition of themes will seem to appear: a proper defense of the gospel, warning against false teaching and a strong emphasis to love one another. This week, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians all pick up on those themes with their own geographical and historical contexts. In Galatia, Paul challenges the false teaching of works based salvation. In Ephesus, Paul reminds the the church of God's sovereign plan to unite Jews and Gentiles in one body. In Philippians, Paul writes with a hardship-enduring joy of the humility of Christ. In Colossians, Paul speaks of the preeminence of Christ, including his authority over asceticism. Join Brent and Trent in this episode as they discuss some of the New Testament's interpretation of the Old Testament, including the coming (again!) Messiah and dwelling place of God. 

Fact Verified: Steph Curry was in his Senior year at Davidson when Trent was in 6th grade.
