Episode Synopsis

It is painfully obvious in so many ways that there presently is division, polarization, and hostility rampant within the American population to a level not seen for many years.  While such a condition is regularly the subject of commentary in news media, with some even offering ideas and suggestions of a solution, the problem seems to be getting only worse.
In the midst of this sad and alarming climate there comes the invitation to look into God’s Word, the Bible, for a real remedy.
And that’s exactly what we do in this episode of “Ancient Words, Modern Message,” the sixth and final installment in the series, “Six REALLY Ordinary Men:  The Overlooked Half of the Apostles.”
Among the six lesser known members of the apostolic group are two men who were natural and virulent enemies of each other. . .until they were brought together by the call of Jesus to follow and to serve Him.
Rarely do we see such a vivid reminder of the transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus to not only reconcile men to God, but also to reconcile them to one another.
So let’s zero in on a man seething with hatred and hostility, especially toward one other man in this small group, and how they became, as the title of this episode indicates, “Beloved Enemies.”
