  • Acts of the Apostles Bible Study Lesson # 1 “What Is the Role of the Holy Spirit in the Church?”

    Acts of the Apostles Bible Study Lesson # 1 “What Is the Role of the Holy Spirit in the Church?”

    Acts of the Apostles Bible Study Lesson # 1 “What is the role of the Holy Spirit in the Church?” Introduction The gospel writer Luke in his second volume, called “The Acts of the Apostles” or simply “Acts,” is giving Theophilus an account of the birth of the Church, how it organized and solved its problems, and its subsequent spreading of the good news of Jesus Christ following his ascension. Luke makes it clear that the Church did not start on account of any human endeavor but by the power of the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised to give. Because of the power of the Holy Spirit, the Church became an agent for change, bore witness to the faith and became a radically unique and diverse community. From Jerusalem at Pentecost, the Holy Spirit enabled the Church to spread to Syria, Asia, Europe and Africa. The Holy Spirit also took a wide range of people, from a Galilean fisherman to a learned scholar, to cities and towns throughout the Roman Empire to preach the good news, heal, teach and demonstrate God’s love. Despite the apostle’s imprisonment and beatings, and an occasional riot, the band of faithful managed to grow in spite of their persecution. The growth of the Church Luke credits to the guiding work of the Holy Spirit that cannot be bottled or contained. Women, children, Jews and Gentiles were coming together into a new sense of community and purpose through the common experience of encountering the transformative power of Jesus Christ. This bible study is produced to not only help the faithful understand God’s plan for the expansion of the Church but to challenge individual Christians as well as faith communities to seek to understand what God is asking them to do in light of God’s current movement of the Holy Spirit.

    BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH CONCERTOS FROM THE NINETEENTH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT A Discography of CDs & LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934) Born in Broadheath, Worcestershire, Elgar was the son of a music shop owner and received only private musical instruction. Despite this he is arguably England’s greatest composer some of whose orchestral music has traveled around the world more than any of his compatriots. In addition to the Conceros, his 3 Symphonies and Enigma Variations are his other orchestral masterpieces. His many other works for orchestra, including the Pomp and Circumstance Marches, Falstaff and Cockaigne Overture have been recorded numerous times.

    Investigating the Word of God Acts Artist’s Depiction of the Apostle Paul Preaching at the Areopagus in Athens Gene Taylor © Gene Taylor, 2007. All Rights Reserved All lessons are based on the New King James Version, © Thomas Nelson, Inc. An Introduction to Acts The Author There are no serious doubts as to the authorship of the book of Acts of the Apostles. Luke is assigned as its author. As early as the last part of the 2nd century, Irenaeus cites passages so frequently from the Acts of the Apostles that it is certain that he had constant access to the book. He gives emphasis to the internal evidence of its authorship. Tertullian also ascribes the book to Luke, as does Clement of Alexandria. That Luke is the author of the book of Acts is evident from the following. ! The Preface of the Book. The writer addresses Theophilus (Luke 1:3), who is the same individual to whom the gospel of Luke was also directed, and makes reference to a “former treatise” which dealt with “all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the day he was received up” (1:1-2). This is very evidently a reference to the third gospel. ! The book of Acts and the gospel of Luke are identical in style, as a number of scholars have pointed out and demonstrated. ! The book of Acts comes as an historical sequel to the gospel of Luke, taking up with the very events, and at the point where the gospel of Luke concludes, namely the resurrection, the appearances following the resurrection, and the commissioning of the Apostles to the task for which they had been selected and trained by the Lord, and the ascension of Jesus.

    Art. 7. the Witness of the Beatitudes

    Art. 7. The Witness of the Beatitudes The lifestyle of a Salesian Cooperator, marked by the spirit of the Beatitudes, commits him or her to the evangelization of culture and of social life. 1 For this reason the Cooperator, being rooted in Christ and aware that all baptized people are called to the perfection of love, lives and gives witness to: - a life lived according to the Spirit, as the source of joy, peace, and forgiveness; - freedom, in obedience to God’s plan, appreciating the value and autonomy proper to secular realities, committing themselves to direct these, above all, to the service of persons; - Gospel poverty, administering the goods entrusted to them using the criteria of temperance and of sharing, in view of the common good; - a sexuality according to a Gospel vision of chastity, marked by delicacy and a joyful married or celibate life, lived with integrity and based on love; - that mercy which opens one’s heart to all material and moral miseries and urges one to work with pastoral charity; - justice to build a more fraternal world that recognizes and promotes the rights of all, especially of the weakest; - a firm will to be a builder of peace in a world agitated by violence and class hatred. This way of love for God and for others is a sure path towards sanctity. CONSIDERATIONS Core Themes 1. Gospel Values Proposed to All the Disciples of the Lord Jesus 2. Evangelizing with the Spirit of the Beatitudes 3. The Beatitudes of the Salesian Cooperator Keys to Understanding Lumen Gentium solemnly declared that all the Faithful in the Church are called to sanctity and to perfect charity, even if by different paths and in different states of life, and that the Gospel Counsels have been proposed to all Christ's disciples – even if their practice takes on a different expression according to each individual's specific vocation.

The chamber works and Cello Concerto that soon followed the war have an air of introspection and wistful longing for a world that had gone forever, shattered by the brutality of four years of conflict. But the changes that the war was to bring were not apparent from the outset. The war was not expected to last for more than six months and began in an atmosphere of patriotic fervour intent on settling old scores. And since this was a world war, the mood of patriotism extended to embrace other countries suffering at the hands of the Germans. The mood unsettled Elgar. He counted a number of Germans among his close friends and, after all, it was the Germans who had rescued The Dream of Gerontius from potential early oblivion following its disastrous premiere in Birmingham. But Elgar nevertheless responded to the needs of the hour by writing within the first year of the war two pieces whose proceeds went to support war charities in countries overrun by the Germans.
