In the first four, we see several important emphases. In the letter to Ephesus, we\u2019re reminded of the need for a passionate, right relationship with God from which good works flow (and without which good works are dead). The letter to Smyrna reveals the reality of spiritual wealth even when earthly affliction and poverty is the experience of believers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The letter to Pergamum includes a commendation for remaining faithful but also a warning against false teachings that had made headway into the congregation. The letter to Thyatira is an example of why sound doctrine is so important and what happens when people twist the doctrines of Scripture in order to justify and tolerate immoral behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The common thread in most of these letters is the call to repent. That\u2019s the word for <em>turning around<\/em>, renouncing the wrong path and returning to the right path. Jesus\u2019 call is an invitation to follow Him into everlasting happiness, not a criticism coming from a King who wants to cut us down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you read these letters, note carefully how Jesus brings words of encouragement, critique, and exhortation together into one message. We have a King who is with us, who \u201cknows our works,\u201d and who loves us and wants us to remain faithful to Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img srcset='https:\/\/gospelproject.lifeway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tgp2018\/2021\/08\/TGP-leader-training-adults-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/gospelproject.lifeway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tgp2018\/2021\/08\/TGP-leader-training-adults-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gospelproject.lifeway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tgp2018\/2021\/08\/TGP-leader-training-adults-1024x576.jpg 1024w' sizes='(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px' loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/gospelproject.lifeway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tgp2018\/2021\/08\/TGP-leader-training-adults-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18244\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Teaching This Week&#8217;s Session of The Gospel Project for Adults<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Every week for Volume 4: From Captivity to the Wilderness, Ken Braddy, Lifeway&#8217;s director of Sunday School, will offer guidance to help leaders prepare to lead and teach each session of The Gospel Project for Adults. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_4394\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-13905-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tgpadultsleadertraining\/p\/ministrysites.s3.amazonaws.com\/podcasts\/thegospelproject_adults\/TGP_ADULTS_SUM21_U36S2.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tgpadultsleadertraining\/p\/ministrysites.s3.amazonaws.com\/podcasts\/thegospelproject_adults\/TGP_ADULTS_SUM21_U36S2.mp3\">http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tgpadultsleadertraining\/p\/ministrysites.s3.amazonaws.com\/podcasts\/thegospelproject_adults\/TGP_ADULTS_SUM21_U36S2.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\">Podcast (adultsleadertraining): <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tgpadultsleadertraining\/p\/ministrysites.s3.amazonaws.com\/podcasts\/thegospelproject_adults\/TGP_ADULTS_SUM21_U36S2.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/gospelproject.lifeway.com\/?powerpress_pinw=13905-adultsleadertraining');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tgpadultsleadertraining\/s\/ministrysites.s3.amazonaws.com\/podcasts\/thegospelproject_adults\/TGP_ADULTS_SUM21_U36S2.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"TGP_ADULTS_SUM21_U36S2.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img srcset='https:\/\/gospelproject.lifeway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tgp2018\/2020\/01\/TGP-1200x500-LeaderTraining-students-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gospelproject.lifeway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tgp2018\/2020\/01\/TGP-1200x500-LeaderTraining-students-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gospelproject.lifeway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tgp2018\/2020\/01\/TGP-1200x500-LeaderTraining-students-1024x536.jpg 1024w' sizes='(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px' loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/gospelproject.lifeway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tgp2018\/2020\/01\/TGP-1200x500-LeaderTraining-students-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10262\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Teaching This Week&#8217;s Session of The Gospel Project for Students<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Every week, student ministry leaders offer guidance to help leaders prepare to lead and teach each session of The Gospel Project for Students.
