    Read and respond to these questions:

    1. Flip through Acts, and the beginnings and the endings of Paul’s epistles. How many co-workers and co-authors does Paul mention? How does thinking of Paul as a team player impact your perception of his ministry? 
    2. Meeting the resurrected Jesus and being filled with the Spirit changed everything for Paul. His prior training, his credentials, and his occupation were important for his ministry in the Greco-Roman world. How has meeting Jesus and being filled with the Spirit turned your world upside down? How do you see your prior training and credentials being used in new ways in your ministry?

( Paul affirmed that our present perishable bodies will be endowed, through the power of Jesus’s resurrection, with imperishable life)
