Rubrics for the 19th Sunday of Pentecost 1. RESURRECTION TROPAR: (Tone 2) When You submitted to death, O Immortal Life, * You made death powerless by the radiance of Your Divinity. * When You raised the dead from the depths of the earth, * all the heavenly powers exclaimed: * “O Giver of Life, Christ our God, Glory to You!” 2. RESURRECTION KONDAK: (Tone 2) Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. You arose from the dead, O Almighty Savior! * Death witnessed the miracle and was filled with fear, as the dead arose. * All creation beheld it and rejoices in You * even Adam rejoices. * The universe exalts You, O my Savior, forever. 3. BOHORODICA: (Tone 2) Now and ever and forever. Amen. O Birthgiver of God, all your mysteries * surpass understanding and every glory. * For being sealed in purity and perfectly intact in your virginity, * you became a real mother by giving birth to God the Word. * Intercede with Him for the salvation of our souls. 4. PROKIMENON: (Tone 2) The Lord is my strength and my song and He is my salvation. v. The Lord has chastened me sorely, but He has not given me over to death. (Psalm 118:18) 5. THE EPISTLE LESSON: (Colossians 4:5-9, 14-15, 18) The Reading is from the holy Apostle Paul to the Colossians. Brethren: Be prudent in dealing with outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your speech be always gracious and in good taste and strive to respond properly to all who address you. Tychicus, our dear brother, our faithful minister and fellow slave in the Lord, will give you all the news about me. I am sending him to you for this purpose and to comfort your hearts. With him is Onesimus, our dear and faithful brother, who is one of you. They will tell you all that has happened here. Luke, our dear physician, sends you greetings. So does Demas. Give our best wishes to the brethren at Laodicea and to Nymphas and the assembly that meets at his house. This greeting is from Paul, in my own hand! Remember my chains. Grace be with you. 6. ALLELUIA: (Tone 2) Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! (Repeat after each verse.) v. May the Lord answer you on the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob protect you. (Psalm 31:1) v. O Lord, give victory to the king; answer us when we call. (Psalm 31:2) 7. THE GOSPEL LESSON: (Luke 10:16-21) Let Us Be Attentive: At that time, the Lord said to his disciples, “Anyone who hears you, hears me; and anyone who rejects you, rejects me; and anyone who rejects me, rejects the one who sent me.” Now the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the devils are subject to us in your name.” But he said to them, I was watching Satan fall as lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you power to tread upon snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you. Yet, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you. But rejoice in this, that your names are written in heaven.” In that very hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, for such was your good pleasure.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The next “The Vine and the Branches” online Diocesan Youth event for youth ages 5-18 (Kindergarten up to 12th Grade currently) is scheduled for Sunday, October 25 at 6pm.

His Eminence is looking forward to seeing all of you!!! The Seventy Holy Apostles The list given by Dorotheus, Bishop of Tyre in the 4th Century Dorotheus was an exemplary man who left us various writings in Greek and Latin, for he was proficient in both languages and possessed of great intelligence. After the death of Diocletian and Licinius, he returned home and ruled the church of Tyre until Julian the torturer came to power; for Julian did not kill Christians openly, but secretly through his princes. Dorotheus came once more to the city of Odessus polis, where he was seized by Julian’s princes and suffered many tortures in his very old age for confessing Christ, and died as a martyr at the age of one hundred and seven. This saintly Dorotheus speaks of the seventy apostles and disciples of Christ, many of whom were bishops among different peoples, while others served as preachers, whom the divine Paul mentions in salutations in his epistles. Many years after the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, he recorded them; their names being as follows: 1. Jacob, brother of the Lord, first bishop of Jerusalem, who was ordained by the Lord Himself, whose head was crushed by a whiffletree and he died. 2. Cleopas was the second bishop of Jerusalem like Simeon, brother of the Lord. He saw the Lord after the Resurrection and died crucified by Emperor Dometian. 3. Thaddeus, who carried the letter to Avgar in Edessa. He cured this king of his illness. 4. Ananias, who baptized the holy Apostle Paul, was bishop of Damascus. 5. Stephen, the first martyr, died after being stoned by the Jews. 6. Philip, of the seven deacons, who baptized Simon the sorcerer and Candace’s eunuch, was bishop of Asian Trallia. 7. Prochorus, also one of the seven deacons, was bishop of Bithynian Nicomedia. 8. Nicanor was one of the first seven deacons. 9. Stephen, together with 2000 believers in Christ. 10. Timon, one of the first seven deacons, was bishop of an island of Arabia and died after being burned by the Greeks. 11. Parmenas, one of the 7 deacons, died in front of the Apostles’ eyes while he was serving. 12. Nicolas, one of the 7 deacons, was bishop of Samaria and deviated from the true faith with Simon. But this is disputed by other early Christian writers, saying that he never left Christ. 13. Barnabas, who served the Word with Paul & preached Christ in peace, was bishop of Milan. 14. Mark the Evangelist was ordained bishop of Alexandria by the Apostle Peter. 15. Silas, who preached the Gospel together with Paul, was bishop of Corinth. 16. Luke, who preached the Gospel all over the world with Paul, was bishop of Salonika.

  • Capitol Ministries, the Bible and Leadership--Faithfulness by Ralph
    M E M B E R S BIBLE STUDY U.S. CAPITOL FAITHFULNESS IN OUR JOINT MISSION TO OTHER CAPITOLS TO: LEGISLATORS FROM: PASTOR RALPH DROLLINGER 661-803-7970 24/7/365 DATE: JUNE 26, 2012 his past week I distributed to you a map of the United States that provided an update on our T common mission: To plant 50 ministries in 50 state capitols. I have been encouraged by your enthusiasm, cooperation and help in achieving this strategic objective. Thank you! Why are we doing this? How do we facilitate more men and women in public office who are mature in Christ—governing authorities who not only have the courage to fight the right battles but the strength, faithfulness, and perseverance to go the distance? By maturing them in Christ: Jesus said, “Sanctify them in truth; Thy Word is truth.” It follows that we need strong Bible teachers, evangelists and disciplemakers at every level in the career path of public servants. Thank you for faithfully opening doors in and to your state capitols! Your partnership is so helpful and effective! Paul too had such good friends. One was Tychicus. Paul trusted him with the most important of tasks: To personally deliver some of Paul’s original letters—the original autographa of Scripture—over hundreds of miles of perilous journey! How come? Like you, he was reliable and trustworthy in his partnership. Let’s drill down on this character quality this week.

  • Tychicus Will Tell You All About My Activities. He Is a Beloved Brother and Faithful Minister and Fellow Servant in the Lord” (Colossians 4:7)
    “Tychicus will tell you all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord” (Colossians 4:7). It was common for letter writers in the first-century Greco-Roman world to As believers in the gospel of Jesus include several greetings from the author and his companions in the closing Christ, we must always speak the lines of their epistles. This was true also when the apostles sent their truth, but we must always speak it correspondence, and in today’s passage, Paul begins to draw his epistle to the Colossians to a close with remarks about two of his brothers-in-the-Lord, in love (Ephesians 4:15). Our Tychicus and Onesimus. default position should be to build Tychicus was likely the courier who brought the epistle to the Colossians to the networks with other believers and church in Colossae.

  • New Testament Study
    SESSION SIX New Testament Study Overview: What God has done in the Old Testament He continues to do in the New. God began a pattern for fund- ing workers that carries right on through the New Testament and gives us a model for today. In this session we will discuss the numerous instances of partnership and its spiritual fruit, focusing in on Paul’s relationship with his partners. The goal of this teaching is to show that there is a significant culture of partnership in the New Testament. New Testament perspective of laboring—with partnership The New Testament is a continuation of the unfolding story of the restoration of all things. God stewards His own purpose through the voluntary agreement of His people. His approach is the same; the giving of the saints is His preferred way of advancing His kingdom. Stewardship and partnership are natural byproducts when the family of God walks in spiritual health. 1Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages, pro- claiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him, 2and also some women who had Notice that Jesus, been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magda- lene, from whom seven demons had gone out, 3and Joanna, the –God in the flesh– put wife of Chuza, Herod’s household manager, and Susanna, and Himself in a position many others, who provided for them out of their means.

  • HOLY NAME of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST January 1
    SAINT ANDREW THE APOSTLE November 30 A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Romans (10:8b-18) But what does it say? “The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” But not all have obeyed the good news; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ. But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” The Word of the Lord Psalm 19:1-6 The heavens declare the glory of God.

  • Through the Bible Titus 1-3
    THROUGH THE BIBLE TITUS 1-3 Years ago Leslie Flynn wrote a book entitled, “Great Church Fights.” He documented cases of just how contentious and hostile church members can become. Ask any pastor who’s been around the block a time or two, and he’ll tell you that ministry is a contact sport! It’s sad when the Church becomes a cage fight. Yet Titus, not just Leslie Flynn, could’ve written a book entitled, “Great Church Fights.” He was sent by Paul to pastor an ornery church on the island of Crete. In describing the Cretans in 1:12, Paul quotes a local author who characterized his own people as, “always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons…” - not very flattering… And Titus had been asked to pastor the Cretan church. Obviously, a church full of very cranky people. Here’s the question that prompted Paul’s letter to Titus, “how do you oversee rambunctious people?” The book of Titus expresses one certainty - to deal with difficult people strong leadership is essential! In three chapters Paul condenses the instructions he communicated in his first letter to Timothy. He provides Titus a crash course in effective spiritual leadership… Verse 1 is the author’s intro, “Paul, a bondservant of God...” Slavery in Israel was used to pay off a person’s debts. Often, a slave ended up serving a kind and benevolent master, and 1 lived a better life in his master’s house than he could ever achieve on his own. In response, sometimes these freed slaves would forego their liberty to remain in the master’s household.
