  • Who Is Right, Paul Or Barnabas? Acts 15:34-41
    6-27-21 Who is Right, Paul or Barnabas? Acts 15:34-41. Everyone disagrees with someone at one 2me or another. Chris2ans are not exempt; we fight and whine with the best of them. Some2mes we even try to use the scriptures to win our arguments. Now, that’s not necessarily a bad thing but the inten2on in the heart of doing it can be. The N.T. records some of the early arguments among believers. When you read Romans and I Corinthians, you discover that Chris2ans disagreed on things like ea2ng meat offered to idols, on whether to observe the Sabbath Day, or whether to eat meat or be a vegetarian, and on whether to drink wine. We can read in Colossians a church that was torn by controversy over the proper role of angels, New Moon celebra2ons, and the proper diet for spiritual Chris2ans. In Thessalonica, the young church was deeply confused about the Second Coming of Christ. In Philippi there was evidently a major power struggle within the church, which is why Philippians contains such a strong plea for unity. Today, I am not speaking about disagreements over the fundamental, non-nego2able doctrines. These truths are not “up for grabs,” as if we could decide whether we believe that Jesus is God or whether we believe in the Second Coming, or deny the virgin birth, Jesus sinless life, death, burial and resurrec2on, or that saving faith is found by the gracious works of Jesus. Those truths belong to the “faith which was once for all delivered to the saints” (JuDe 3) In this message we are looking at what we might call Category 2 disagreements, areas of doctrine or prac2ce not involving the fundamentals of the Chris2an faith.

  • Meet the Disciples Here’S a Synopsis of the Information the Bible Gives Us About the 12 Disciples
    In a scene from the television series “The Chosen,” Jesus (left) meets brothers Andrew (center) and Simon. Meet the disciples Here’s a synopsis of the information the Bible gives us about the 12 disciples. The more you know about them, the more you can relate to their experiences as they followed Jesus. If you’re interested in an extremely creative (and yet biblical) look at the disciples, discover The Chosen television series. The first season is available on YouTube, with more information available at studios.vidangel.com/the-chosen. Simon, called Peter. The only married disciple, at least esus went up on a mountainside according to what we know from the Gospels. His mother-in-law and called to him those he wanted, was healed by Jesus (Mark 1:30). At Caesarea Philippi (Matthew J 16:13ff), Jesus gave Simon the name Peter, which means “Rock.” and they came to him. He appointed It was here that Jesus also referred to Simon as a “son of Jonah,” twelve that they might be with him and in a less complimentary moment, as “Satan!” See Matthew and that he might send them out to 16:23 for the context. The Gospel of Mark is generally thought preach and to have authority to drive to be Mark’s written record of the eye-witness account of Simon out demons. These are the twelve Peter. Simon’s betrayal of Jesus was second only to that of Judas Iscariot. Unlike Judas, Simon lived through the weekend and he appointed: Simon (to whom he was eventually restored into full fellowship (John 21).

  • The Gospel of Mark Schedule
    The Gospel of Mark Schedule Participants are encouraged to read the chapters covered prior to the session. Tuesday, March 9 Introduction & overview Mark 1- 3 Tuesday, March 16 Jesus, the Christ Mark 4 - 8 Tuesday, March 23 Jesus, the Son of Man Mark 9 - 13 Tuesday, March 30 Jesus, the Son of God Mark 14 - 16 These materials © 2021 Ronald L. Ryan, D. Min. Please do not reproduce by any means without permission of the author. An Introduction to the Gospel of Mark Most scholars regard the Gospel of Mark as the earliest of the four canonical gospels. Written about 70 AD, it pre- serves a record of the early Christian community’s struggle to understand the person of Jesus and the significance of his words, actions, death and resurrection. It also provides us with an idea of the difficulties which the infant church faced as it strove to survive in a world filled with tensions of its own. There is nothing within the text itself that identifies the author, but ancient tradition has given him the name Mark. The evangelist is sometimes identified with John Mark (cf. Acts of the Apostles 12:12) who ac- companied Paul on his first missionary journey, until the two had a bitter falling out (Acts 15:39). They later reconciled, and John Mark remained close to Paul during his final imprisonment in Rome. John Mark is also referred to in 1 Peter 5:13 as “my son.” Non-scriptural writings from the second century describe the author of the Gospel of Mark as a close associate of Peter, the one who would interpret the apostle’s preaching from Aramaic into the common Greek.

  • Sermon Transcript from September 4Th, 2016 Jesus the Teacher Pastor John Mark Comer, Reality San Francisco
    Sermon Transcript from September 4th, 2016 Jesus the Teacher Pastor John Mark Comer, Reality San Francisco Turn in your Bibles to the Gospel of Mark. As Dave said, we're all – both my church and yours and a couple of others – are reading through the Bible from Genesis all the way to Revelation in one year. And I think tomorrow we wrap up the Gospel of Matthew and then Tuesday start the Gospel of Mark. So, up in Portland, we're still wrapping up the Creative Minority series, but this is San Francisco. You guys are all Type A. You have to be two or three weeks ahead. You just have to. So, whatever. That's your thing. That's fine. So, let's talk for a few minutes about Jesus of Nazareth. Holy Spirit, we just invite You to come, even now, and to give shape to the next half hour or so that we invest in the text as we open our heart and our mind and really all of our life to the voice of God as made manifest in the life of Jesus of Nazareth and the teaching from the Scriptures. Just, Holy Spirit, come. Jesus was a lot of things. Most of us know Him best as the Son of God. But, He was also the Messiah. Or, another word for that is the Christ; the long-awaited king of Israel. But, if you were a first century Jew and one Sabbath morning Jesus were to show up in your synagogue and teach from the Torah or whatever, the odds are that the category you would have put Jesus in was that of a rabbi.

He heard about whatJesus taught. He knewJesus was the Son of God who had risen from the dead. One day Luke said to his friend, Theophilus, "We are growing older. I am afraid people will forget the good news of our LordJesus Christ. It should be written again and saved so that all people may read and know of our joy!" Theophilus replied, "Luke, you are the one to do that. You write well. Tell the story just as you have heard it." "I will," Luke answered. "I will write more than Lukewrote storiesobout Jesus others have, and it will be like a letter to you." ondthe Church, Luke unrolled a scroll and dipped his pen in ink. For 4 many days he worked.

  • The Life of Mark the Evangelist
    The Life of Mark the Evangelist April 25, 2021 Revision C Gospel: Mark 6:7-13 Epistle: 1 Peter 5:6-14 Many people have confused the Evangelist Mark with another member of the Seventy, John surnamed Mark (Acts 12:12). In addition, there was a third member of the original Seventy Apostles named Mark, who was the cousin of Barnabas (Colossians 4:10). They are three different individuals who came from different locales and who had much different roles in the Early Church. Modern accounts of these three individuals are often blended together. The Evangelist Mark was originally an idolater1 from Cyrene of Pentapolis, which is near Libya. He came to the Faith of Christ through the Apostle Peter. John Mark, on the other hand, in addition to being one of the original Seventy Apostles, was born at Jerusalem2, and the house of his mother Mary (Acts 12:12) adjoined the Garden of Gethsemane. John Mark was later Bishop of Byblos in Phoenicia just north of Beirut on the Mediterranean coast. Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, was3 also one of the original Seventy Apostles and was later the Bishop of Apollonia in Samaria, just north of Joppa on the Mediterranean coast. Since Barnabas was native to Cyprus (Acts 4:36), Mark, his cousin, probably was also native to Cyprus. After Pentecost, the Evangelist Mark accompanied the Apostle Peter (1 Peter 5:13), much as the Evangelist Luke accompanied the Apostle Paul. John Mark, on the other hand, accompanied the Apostles Paul and Barnabas on their First Missionary Journey (Acts 13:5, 13), and later worked with Barnabas on Cyprus (Acts 15:39).
