What if...
... Luke-Acts isn’t just telling a story—but engaging in a conversation?
And what if...
... Jesus’ baptism and the Holy Spirit coming at Pentecost weren’t merely two separate events, but spirit-powered parallels—framing a conversation about identity, mission, and the redefinition of Israel itself?
In three innovative
lectures...
... Lee Patmore explores how Luke tells his story, especially at two key moments:
The coming of the Spirit at Jesus' baptism and the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost. How these stories mirror and reshape each other to reframe Luke's re-telling of the entire biblical story!

Event Speaker
Lee Patmore's
inaugural address
on his appointment as
Senior Teaching Fellow (STF)
at IABC
Lee Patmore has been a vital part of IABC’s Platinum (Greek and English) Program since 2012.
From the beginning, he has distinguished himself as both a serious student and a steady encouragement to others—engaging deeply in biblical texts, as well as occasionally teaching and mentoring others.
Lee's time with IABC has combined deep textual study with real-time teaching, preaching, writing, and application.
More "hands-on" than ivory tower, Lee's work has always reflected practical spiritual interests and applications of technical theory.
Lee's academic and spiritual formation have come not from institutional degrees but from a life of ministry: both of serving and of study. This is always grounded a deep personal drive immersed in a passion for the Spirit of God.
On the basis of his years of dedication and work with IABC, Lee accepted a new challenge early in 2024: a difficult year-long guided project in textual study that he will now share with all of us.
His work has been similar in rigor and quality to a multi-year Doctor of Ministry program or academic Master of Theology program in NT Greek and biblical texts.
With this accomplishment, Lee becomes the first to achieve IABC’s Senior Teaching Fellow (STF) status. This is the highest merit-based credential and acknowledgment we bestow.
---------------------------------------
A skilled and accomplished mechanic and long-time church leader in Canada, Lee Patmore is a model for all would-be Bible students. As you will see by hearing him, his voice is forged, not borrowed.
