1. Choose one of the epistles listed on the right and read closely the identified passages.

Philippians 2:1-5
2. Express the ideas in your own words.
In my eyes this epistle means that you should always show love and compassion and not hatred or unkindness. You need to be nice and let God shine through you and your actions as we are all part of God and God is part of us. Make sure to have the same mindset as God.
3.Suggest why and how the message is applicable for individuals or groups of people today.

This message is important and relevant to individuals and groups today as a lot of young people forget these days to be kind, respect and to treat people the way that you would want to be treated. This message gives you an insight on how you should be acting and how God treated every one with love and respect.

In this epistle it talks about how circumcision and uncircumcision is nothing compared to what God says and his teachings (1Corinthians 7:19)

In this epistle it talks about a person being not Jew if they are outwardly meaning on the surface but are a Jew if they are inwardly meaning within the mine. Circumcision is circumcision of the heart by the spirit and not by written code. (Romans 2:28-29)

In this epistle it talks about how circumcision and uncircumcision means nothing in the eyes of God because what counts is new creation and love. (Galatians 5:6 and 6:15)

In this epistle it talks about how there is no Gentile or Jew, Scythian, slave or free, circumcision or uncircumcision or barbarian because God is all and within all of us. (Colossians 3:11)

The purpose of Paul's letters were to inform people on the true ways of the Gospel and how to live by it meaning not sinning and looking towards God. Although God loves you for you and everyone is special in there own way. If you do not believe in God but then decide later on you do thats okay as God forgives those who follow him.
The main message through Paul's preachings was to put your faith in God as he will always love, care and look after you, as well as living by the Gospel and being of follower of Jesus and God because you are apart of them and one with there soul.

Paul's second journey.
After Paul was building up the church in Antioch for the second time, he decided to go on his second missionary journey. Paul asked Barnabas to come with him, revisiting the church that they visited on his first missionary journey, although a disagreement had caused a split between the two. Barnabas then went off with John Mark to Cyprus and Paul travelled to Asian Minor with Silas. Although God re-directed Silas and Paul to Greece, sharing the words of the gospel through out Europe. The missionary team in Philippi was beaten and imprisoned but rejoicing to suffer for God they would sing. Christ created a big earthquake that freed the prisoners from the harsh chains and opened the jail doors for them. One amazed jailer and his family believed in God, which made the government made and so they begged for Paul and Silas to leave. Once Paul and Silas left Greece they move travels to Athens, were he preached to Mars Hill. His preachings were noticed and people believed but still some people sneered and didn't believe what Paul was preaching. Paul taught those who believed and wanted to know more of our beautiful king. Lot's more disciples were met along the way and many more believed in Christ. Paul's second journey was very powerful as his preachings didn't go unnoticed.

Saul's conversion changed his life forever. Saul before his change was a horrible man who didn't follow God or Jesus. Instead he'd watch as the Romans chopped the heads off of christians who believed the true king was not the Roman Empire instead was God. One day a bright light shone down on Saul and told him to turn to Jesus and to preach the good words of the Gospel. For him to teach but to also learn from this experience and to know that God is the true king and he has forgiven Saul for his sins and sees the light in him. After the message sent to him he changed his name to Paul and began his preachings.
