The Bible in a Year: Season 2, Episode 78 | Ecclesiastes 5-Song of Solomon 3

"What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me?" Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence take up Paul's most honest question and follow his answer through the rest of Romans. They start with the war between the flesh & the Spirit, then reach the high point of Romans 8: creation groaning like a woman in labor, the Spirit praying for us when we have no words, and the promise that nothing can separate us from the love of God. From there, they cover Paul's anguish over Israel, the call to be a living sacrifice transformed by a renewed mind, praying for those in authority, and Paul's closing greetings to Phoebe, Priscilla and Aquila, and Rufus.

"The righteous shall live by faith." Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence open the Book of Romans with that line, calling it Paul's greatest work of theology, and the summary of everything he wrote. In Romans 1–6, they work through why every person is "without excuse," why there is "none righteous, not even one," and how Abraham was justified by faith long before the law. They also cover the hope that grows out of suffering and the difference between a wage & a gift: "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Paul turns his face toward Jerusalem, knowing chains are waiting for him. Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence follow him the rest of the way in Acts 20–28: Eutychus falling from the window at Troas, the tearful goodbye to the Ephesian elders, Agabus binding himself with Paul's belt, the uproar in the Sanhedrin, and Paul's trials before Felix, Festus & King Agrippa. Then comes the storm, the shipwreck and the viper on Malta, and two years in Rome preaching "with all boldness and without hindrance." Along the way they unpack Paul's call to turn away from sin and turn toward God, and why Paul cared about finishing the race more than walking free.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence trace the Gospel's explosive outward push in Acts 9–19, from Saul's conversion on the Damascus road through Peter's vision at Simon the Tanner's house, the Jerusalem Council, and Paul's first & second missionary journeys. The hosts linger on Ananias — the man who heard "go to Saul of Tarsus" and still walked in saying "brother Saul" — and on the humor & humanity of Acts 12, where the praying church refuses to believe Peter is actually standing at the door. A standout thread runs through the whole episode: the absolute necessity of knowing the Word of God, with Pastor Kevin pointing to Stephen before the Sanhedrin, Jesus on the road to Emmaus, and Paul at the Areopagus as examples of people who knew Scripture inside & out. The episode also announces the podcast's plans for next year — a chronological journey through the whole Bible — and closes in Athens, where Paul insists Jesus is not one god among many, but the risen Lord of all.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence open the Book of Acts, tracing the birth of the church from the ascension, the 10 days of prayer through Pentecost, Peter's first sermon, and the explosive growth that followed. The hosts unpack the tongues of Pentecost as a reversal of Babel — the confusion of language undone as the Gospel is proclaimed in every tongue gathered in Jerusalem — and lay out the five marks of the Acts 2 church: evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, worship, and prayer. A standout moment comes as Pastor Kevin draws a sharp distinction between the communalism of the early church, where believers gave freely because Christ alone was the head, and modern systems that demand redistribution while refusing to declare Jesus as Lord. The episode closes on Stephen's history-sweeping defense & martyrdom, and the scattering that followed — a reminder that what the enemy means for evil, God uses to carry the Gospel to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth.
