  • 7 LAST WORDS of CHRIST a Good Friday Tenebrae Service
    7 LAST WORDS OF CHRIST A Good Friday Tenebrae Service ABOUT THIS SERVICE: This service focuses on the Seven Last Words of Christ and is patterned after the ancient office of Tenebrae. The word "Tenebrae" means darkness. The purpose of the service is to impress upon us the terrible reality of sin, which caused our Savior to die for us. The service begins with the stripping of the altar. As Jesus was stripped for crucifixion, so our altar and chancel are laid bare in remembrance of His great suffering. As the service continues, you will hear your Savior speak His last words, which are recorded for us in the four Gospels. Each reading is followed by a brief devotion, silence, prayer, and a hymn. After each of the 7 Words is read, a candle is extinguished, causing the chancel to become increasingly darkened. By this we are reminded of the darkness that covered the earth at the time our Lord’s crucifixion. It also serves as a reminder of the spiritual darkness that would exist had the Light of the world not come. The exit of the Christ Candle, near the close of the service, signifies Christ's death and burial. Then there is a loud noise, symbolizing the closing of the tomb. The Christ Candle will reappear at the Easter Festival Service in celebration of the resurrection. SILENT PRAYER BEFORE WORSHIP: Lord Jesus Christ, as I meditate in this service on Your death for me, let those final sentences which You spoke from the cross impart a personal blessing, that I may both worship in spirit and truth and be moved to sacrifice my whole life as an offering to You.

  • Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Summary of Presentations
    Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Summary of Presentations “Help Me Fall in Love with God” The philosophy of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program is that even very young children have a religious life. God is present to them in their deepest being and they are capable of developing both a conscious and intimate relationship with God. We provide materials based on age-appropriate Scripture passages and liturgical signs that nurture their relationship with God. The program balances exposure to our liturgy and the richness of our communal sacramental life with reading the Bible. Our program begins with presenting the New Testament to the children because it is the foundation of our faith. The youngest learn about Jesus and the beauty and wonder of the Kingdom of God through carefully chosen Bible verses that foster a deep love for Jesus. As they grow older they are encouraged to think about their personal responsibility to maintain this relationship with God and their social responsibility in the world. The oldest group studies the Old Testament in great detail and continues to deepen their understanding of the liturgy. They plan worship services and begin community service. Each presentation has specific materials designed to draw the child into the Biblical and Liturgical themes. These materials are always available to the children during their work time so they have additional opportunity to absorb the lessons. The following is a summary to the presentations offered for Level I. Classes are structured to offer a time of prayer and song, a time for the “presentation” and a time for individual work by the child.

  • The Light of the World
    I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD DATE WEEK OVERVIEW KEY VERSE August 22 & 23 2 of 7 John 8:12-30 John 8:12 To appreciate the words of Jesus in chapter 8, we must understand the context. In chapter 7 the Jewish people were celebrating one of their week-long feasts, the Feast of Tabernacles. One of the most jubilant feasts, it is filled with both celebration and remembrance, honoring God’s provision and protection for the people of Israel during their 40 years wandering in the wilderness. For seven days of the feast, people live in temporary tent structures as they did in the wilderness during the time of Moses. The Lord Himself was present with the Israelites in the desert, in a tented temple called the Tabernacle. The feast also celebrates His presence as He tabernacles (dwells) with us. 1 The Feast of Tabernacles takes place during the early fall in the harvest season. Harvest was another cause for celebration; honoring the Lord’s provisions through their crops. Though this was a celebratory time for the people, it was a challenging time for Jesus. It was during this festival that the opposition began to grow and intensify towards Him and His ministry. However, this did not distract Jesus from His message. He used several observed rituals as teachable moments to talk about “living water” in chapter 7 and “light” in chapter 8. Continued on page 15 > SETTING THE STAGE LESSON OUTLINE THINGS TO KNOW 1.

  • The Meaning and Message of the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) Ranko Stefanovic Andrews University
    The Meaning and Message of the Beatitudes in the Sermon On the Mount (Matthew 5-7) Ranko Stefanovic Andrews University The Sermon on the Mount recorded in Matthew 5-7 is probably one of the best known of Jesus’ teachings recorded in the Gospels. This is the first of the five discourses in Matthew that Jesus delivered on an unnamed mount that has traditionally been located on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee near Capernaum, which is today marked by the Church of the Beatitudes. New Testament scholarship has treated the Sermon on the Mount as a collection of short sayings spoken by the historical Jesus on different occasions, which Matthew, in this view, redactionally put into one sermon.1 A similar version of the Sermon is found in Luke 6:20-49, known as the Sermon on the Plain, which has been commonly regarded as a Lucan variant of the same discourse. 2 The position taken in this paper is, first of all, that the Matthean and Lucan versions are two different sermons with similar content delivered by Jesus on two different occasions. 3 Secondly, it seems almost certain that the two discourses are summaries of much longer ones, each with a different emphasis, spiritual and physical respectively. Whatever position one takes, it appears that the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew is not just a collection of randomly selected pieces; the discourse displays one coherent literary theme. The Sermon is introduced with the Beatitudes, which are concluded with a couplet of short metaphoric parables on salt and light.

  • The Light of the World
    The Light of the World Theme Jesus is the one true light. We are his witnesses. Object A strand of Christmas lights; construction paper; scissors; pens - one per child; tape Scripture John 1:6-8, 19-28 Video Connection: Tell Me the Story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OO84K9RuF0 ​ ​ ​ ​ Children’s Christmas Songs- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSLrFVR-Hqw&list=PLg8UufkzWLCASnhbmrb3XOPXFdp8_yB3c “Light of the World”- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI302Av7vSI ​ Lesson Cut circles from the construction paper to symbolize light bulbs. Make them large enough so kids can write a word or two on them. Turn down the classroom lights, and plug in the Christmas lights so they light the room. Our Bible reading for today tells us that God sent a man, John the Baptist, to tell about the light--Jesus--so that everyone would believe. John wasn't the light. He only came to tell others about the light. Jesus is the one true light, who gives light to everyone. Let’s think about lights in our lives to help us think about that. When do you need light or what do you need light for? Encourage kids to try to work together to name a use for light for every bulb on the Christmas strand. At this time of year, we see lights everywhere that remind us of the coming of Jesus, the true light that John told about. Turn and tell a neighbor in one sentence about the coolest Christmas lights you’ve seen. Allow time. Those lights can help us remember that Jesus is the one true light in our hearts and in our lives.

  • Keeping a Holy Lent
    Keeping a Holy Lent Lenten Programs & Worship Services 2016 Wycliffe Presbyterian Church 1445 N. Great Neck Road Virginia Beach, Virginia 23454 www.wycliffepresbyterian.org Phone: 757-496-2620 What is Lent? Lent is a season of preparation leading up to Easter. It is the forty days plus the six Sundays before Easter. For centuries, it has been observed as a special time of self examination and penitence. Lent is a time for concentration on fundamental values and priorities. Presbyterians use this time to focus specifically on their baptism into the faith and what it means to them. This is a great time to focus on reading the Bible or to begin the day with Lenten devotions. There are copies of the Upper Room in the narthex and reception area. Christian Education During Lent, the Adult Sunday School class will be using Adam Hamilton’s DVD series The Way: Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus. We will explore and discuss Jesus’ teaching ministry from his baptism through Holy Week in Jerusalem. Classes for the six weeks of Lent start on Sunday, February 14 at 9 AM in room 210. No homework required; come join us for Lent. In February, our preschool through elementary students will be studying the Ten Men Healed, The Good Samaritan, Prodigal Son, and Mary and Martha. In March they will learn about Zacchaeus, Last Supper, Holy Week, and The Empty Tomb. Their classes meet each week at 10:00 following the Pastor's message with the children. Worship Ash Wednesday February 10 at 7 pm Wycliffe will host a joint Ash Wednesday service with Virginia Beach Christian Church at 7:00 pm on February 10.

  • When Jesus Comes, You Find Your Purpose John 1:6-9, 15
    1 WHEN JESUS COMES, YOU FIND YOUR PURPOSE JOHN 1:6-9, 15 Every kid who’s sat in a science class has heard of Isaac Newton’s famous encounter with a falling apple. Newton was the first to explain the laws of gravity back in the 1600s which revolutionized the study of astronomy and so much more. But few people know that if it weren’t for another scientist named Edmund Halley, the world might never have heard of Isaac Newton. It was Halley who challenged Newton to think through his original ideas. It was Halley who corrected Newton’s mathematical errors and prepared geometrical figures to support Newton’s discoveries. It was Halley who persuaded Newton to write his great book, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. It was Halley who edited and supervised the publication of that book, and even financed its printing although Newton was wealthier than Halley and could have easily paid to have it printed himself. Historians consider it one of the most selfless examples in the history of science. Newton began almost immediately to reap the rewards of his new prominence. Halley received little credit. Now, he did use Newton’s principles to predict the orbit and return of the comet that now bears his name. You’ve heard of Halley’s Comet that comes close to Earth every 76 years. But otherwise you don’t hear a lot about Edmund Halley. He’s a great example of a devoted scientist who didn’t care who received the credit as long as the cause of science advanced.
