  • Beatitudes in the Book of Revelations
    “...Shine out among them like beacon lights, holding out to them the Word of Life” (Phil 2:15-16) Volume 1 September 15, 2013 Number. 36 Beatitudes in the Book of Revelations he most familiar beatitudes are found in the first eleven verses of Matthew chapter five in what is the T beginning of the Sermon on the Mount. But there are seven beatitudes found in the book of Revelation that are very encouraging as well. In this article, we want to take a brief look at the beatitudes found in the book of Revelation. 1. “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy...” (Revelation 1:3). The prophecy considered by John is the content of the book of Revelation. The fact is, however, the one who regularly reads and applies any portion of God’s word to his life is going to be blessed. The Bible is the greatest book ever written. While it was penned by men, those men were inspired and thus the Bible is an inspired book (2 Timothy 3:16). That means that every word in the Bible is there because God so willed it to be so (1 Corinthians 2:13). The Bible, then, reveals the mind of God. Knowing God’s mind can only be profitable, that is, as long as we determine to make use of what we know of God’s mind to our lives. This is why we are encouraged so often to study God’s word and grow in knowledge (2 Timothy 2:15; 1 Peter 2:2; 2 Peter 3:18).

  • Gospel of Mark Study Guide
    Gospel of Mark Study Guide Biblical scholars mostly believe that the Gospel of Mark to be the first of the four Gospels written and is the shortest of the four Gospels, however the precise date of when it was written is not definitely known, but thought to be around 60-75 CE. Scholars generally agree that it was written for a Roman (Latin) audience as evidenced by his use of Latin terms such as centurio, quadrans, flagellare, speculator, census, sextarius, and praetorium. This idea of writing to a Roman reader is based on the thinking that to the hard working and accomplishment-oriented Romans, Mark emphasizes Jesus as God’s servant as a Roman reader would relate better to the pedigree of a servant. While Mark was not one of the twelve original disciples, Church tradition has that much of the Gospel of Mark is taken from his time as a disciple and scribe of the Apostle Peter. This is based on several things: 1. His narrative is direct and simple with many vivid touches which have the feel of an eyewitness. 2. In the letters of Peter he refers to Mark as, “Mark, my son.” (1 Peter 5:13) and indicates that Mark was with him. 3. Peter spoke Aramaic and Mark uses quite a few Aramaic phrases like, Boanerges, Talitha Cumi, Korban and Ephphatha. 4. St Clement of Alexandria in his letter to Theodore (circa 175-215 CE) writes as much; As for Mark, then, during Peter's stay in Rome he wrote an account of the Lord's doings, not, however, declaring all of them, nor yet hinting at the secret ones, but selecting what he thought most useful for increasing the faith of those who were being instructed.

  • Mark and Miracle (Mark 16:17–18)
    Mark and Miracle (Mark 16:17–18) Rodney J. Decker, ThD Professor of NT and Greek, Baptist Bible Seminary Introduction The ending of the Gospel of Mark has raised questions for 2,000 years; it is not a modern question by any means.1 Today it is an almost universal consensus of textual critics that Mark 16:9–20 is not the original ending of Mark’s Gospel.2 Likewise NT scholars agree that the textual critics have established their case in this regard.3 That case is based on both external4 and internal5 evidence—evidence that I accept as substantive and adequate. Therefore I do not accept Mark 16:9–20 as part of canonical Scripture.6 1 One of the earliest explicit comments about the question is Jerome (5th C.): “Almost all the Greek copies do not have this concluding portion” (Epist. cxx.3 ad Hedibiam). But the question may be traced further back. Italak (Old Latin codex Bobbiensis, a 4/5th C. MS) is thought to reflect a 2d C. Greek text and it contains the “Short Ending” in place of Mark 16:9–20. Even manuscripts who do have the “Long Ending” often contain critical notes suggesting that it is not likely original. E.g., MS 1 (minuscule MS, 12th C.) inserts this note between vv. 8 and 9: ἐν τισὶ μὲν τῶν ἀντιγραφῶν ἕως ὧδε πληροῦται ὁ εὐαγγελιστὴς ἕως οὗ καὶ Εὐσεβίος ὁ Παμφίλου ἐκανόνισεν· ἐν πολλοῖς δὲ καὶ ταῦτα φέρεται (“On the one hand, in some of the copies the Evangelist ends at this point as Eusebius of Pamphilus [4th C.] also judges; but in many [copies] these [words] also are included”).

  • Mark 16:8 (Abrupt Ending of Mark)—Did Jesus's Disciples Ever Learn
    Supplement to Introducing the New Testament, 2nd ed. © 2018 by Mark Allan Powell. All rights reserved. 7.32 Mark 16:8 (Abrupt Ending of Mark)—Did Jesus’s Disciples Ever Learn of the Resurrection? In Mark 16:6–7, the young man at the tomb tells the women, “Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.” But Mark 16:8 reads, “So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.” For many Bible readers, this raises a question: If the women said “nothing to anyone,” how did the disciples ever find out about the resurrection? Indeed, quite a few scholars have suggested that Mark intends to convey the impression that the disciples of Jesus did not learn about the resurrection; they did not reunite with Jesus, and so their apostasy was never remedied. But this seems unlikely to others. Some considerations: • Historically, there is no question that Jesus’s disciples did proclaim him as risen from the dead and did claim to have met with him after the resurrection (see, e.g., 1 Cor. 15:5). Supplement to Introducing the New Testament, 2nd ed. © 2018 by Mark Allan Powell. All rights reserved. This was common knowledge at the time Mark’s Gospel was written.

  • The Beatitudes Lesson 5 “Blessed Are the Merciful”
    "Scripture taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE®, © Copyright 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation Used by permission." (www.Lockman.org) The Beatitudes Lesson 5 “Blessed Are The Merciful” Introduction. 1. As with all the beatitudes, the fifth beatitude is most important to true and lasting happiness. 2. It logically follows the previous four beatitudes. a. The first beatitude stressed one must recognize his spiritual destitution, and his own righteousness cannot save. 1) Good works, wealth, power, education, fame, reputation, etc. cannot save. 2) None of these things can atone for sin. 3) Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse one from sin. b. The second beatitude sets forth that one should mourn over his wretched state, and if this sorrow is godly sorrow it will end with comfort. 1) Boasting about sin or rationalizing [as not so bad] or denying sin will not save. 2) It is not enough even to regret sin and be sorrowful over sin. (2 Cor. 7:10) 2 Cor 7:10 For the sorrow that is according to {the will} {of} God produces a repentance without regret, {leading} to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. 3) One must have godly sorrow, a realization he/she has sinned against God. 4) This godly sorrow must lead to repentance. (2 Cor. 7:10). c. The third beatitude reads, “Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.” (Matt. 5:5). 1) It stresses this mourning [godly sorrow] will lead one to be humbly submissive to God and to be gentle to others.

Proverbs 29:19 Ballet Magnificat! was founded in 1986 by Kathy Thibodeaux (Silver Medalist, II US International Ballet Competition). The Lord moved her heart to use the gift of dance He had given her for His honor and glory. God gave her the vision for a professional touring company and Christian school of the arts. Kathy’s vision included providing a school where students could receive the highest level of training possible in a Christ- focused environment that would eventually accommodate resident students from around the world. With no dancers or money, and no office or studio space, Kathy resigned her position as a professional dancer with Ballet Mississippi to begin Ballet Magnificat! Since that time the company has toured extensively throughout the United States as well as worldwide to over 30 countries, to minister and pray with thousands. The Ballet Magnificat! School opened in 1989 with over 250 students, and the annual Summer Dance Intensive hosts over 300 students from all over the world. Ballet Magnificat! also helped begin the Belhaven University dance program located in Jackson, MS.

  • 'Don't Be Alarmed,' He Said. 'You Are Looking for Jesus the Nazarene, Who Was Crucified
    HE HAS RISEN Mark 16:1-20 Key Verse: 16:6 "'Don't be alarmed,' he said. 'You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.'" Chapter 16 is the story about the glorious resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. In this story Mark tells that the women who had followed Jesus before the crucifixion did not run away. They followed Jesus to the end, even beneath the cross. They followed Jesus, but they did not believe the resur- rection of Jesus. At the time of Jesus' crucifixion, Jesus' disciples were terri- fied. Now they were in deep despair and were hungry. The disciples saw the Risen Christ. But they did not believe in his resurrection. Still Jesus did not give up on them. The Risen Christ helped them believe in his resurrection by teaching them the Bible and visiting them. The Risen Christ also commanded them to go into all the world and preach the gospel. I. He has risen (1-14) First, women's desire to anoint Jesus' body (1-3). The several women men- tioned here are Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome. Mary, Jesus' mother, Mary Magdalene, John Mark's mother Mary, Mary the wife of Cleopas. There were many Mary's in the gospels. These women had seen God in Jesus and begun to serve him and his disciples out of their own expenses. To them, serving Jesus and his disciples was not easy. But they wanted to serve them forever.

  • When the Sabbath Was Over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the Mother of James, and Salome Bought Spices So That They Might Go to Anoint Jesus’ Body
    Mark 16:1-8 Easter Sunday April 1, 2018 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. ​2 ​Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb ​3 ​and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” 4 ​But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. ​5 ​As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. 6 ​“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene,who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. ​7 ​But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’” 8 ​Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. a. Mark 16:8​ Some manuscripts have the following ending between verses 8 and 9, and one manuscript has it after verse 8 (omitting verses 9-20): Then they quickly reported all these instructions to those around Peter. After this, Jesus himself also sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. Amen.

  • The Beatitudes” Easter Weekend Sermon Preached by Jeff Huber April 10-11, 2021
    Theme: The Sermon on the Mount “The Beatitudes” Easter weekend sermon preached by Jeff Huber April 10-11, 2021 Weekly Memory Verse: 6 The angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was CruCified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead!” –Mark 16:6 VIDEO Sermon Bumper SLIDE “The Beatitudes” My name is Jeff Huber and I’m Lead Pastor at Summit Church and we are so glad you have joined us for worship. As we begin a new series of sermons today, I am reminded of a story I’ve shared with you before about a pastor who had just moved to a new church. His first week, he preached what the congregation thought was a GREAT sermon. The next week, he preached the same sermon. The congregation thought it was still pretty good, but a bit strange he did the same sermon two weeks in a row. Week three he preached the SAME sermon again, and this time the leaders of the church approached him after worship to ask him why he had preached the same sermon three weeks in a row. Jeff Huber’s Sermon – April 3-4, 2021 Page 1 His response was simple, “Well, I’ve been in this community for a month and watched many of you working and going about your lives in town. After you get this sermon down and start living it, I’ll move onto the next sermon.” We are going to have a chance over the next 6 weeks to go back and look at the most important and influential sermon of Jesus, and one that he clearly preached more than once.

  • Easter Day, April 5, 2015 Sermon by Rev
    Easter Day, April 5, 2015 Sermon by Rev. W. Bruce McPherson Acts 10:34-43 Colossians 3:1-4 Mark 16:1-8 So they went out and fled from the tome, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. Mark 16:8 Let me welcome you to St. Martin’s this morning to this special service for a special day. And what could be more special than Easter. Jesus crucified, dead and buried for three days then rising from the tomb on Easter morning. Easter is a special day and the Easter story is a special story but it’s not a simple story the way Mark tells it. I has an ending that really gets your attention, because it is an ending that ever ends. Have you ever noticed that a really good story keeps your attention long after the end? Sometimes, the ending is so ambiguous, so challenging that you spend time trying to see what the next chapter would look like if it had been written. Stories where they lived happily ever after are nice but they really don’t engage you in the same way – there’re too pat. That happened to some other Cinderella and her Prince Charming. Good stories keep your attention long after they end. If you think about the great novels you've read they probably ended before the story was finished. James Joyce's great Ulysses ends with the word "Yes." Maybe the best recent example is the novel Life of Pi.
