  • The Resurrection of Christ and the Rise of Christianity
    The Resurrection of Christ And the Rise of Christianity by Fr. Steven C. Kostoff Orthodox Christians believe that the New Testament Church and the Christian faith itself ap- peared at a particular point in history because the crucified Jesus of Nazareth was raised from the dead. The cause behind the emergence of the Church and the Christian Faith was not a crucified, dead and buried Jesus. Rather, that very crucified, dead and buried Jesus was revealed to be both Lord and Christ following His Resurrection “on the third day.” God vindicated the messianic claims of Jesus when He raised Jesus from the dead “according to the Scriptures.” Contempo- rary Orthodox Christians readily agree with the Apostle Paul’s insistence on the absolute central- ity of the bodily resurrection of Christ as the foundation of Christian faith in Jesus: ‘If Christ is not raised, then your faith is in vain and our preaching is in vain.” (I COR. 15) Among all Christians this has been an overwhelming consensus since the initial witness of the apostles to the Risen Lord. But since the emergence of critical biblical scholarship within the last two cen- turies or so, we find Christian scholars and those influenced by them questioning, reinterpreting or openly denying the bodily resurrection of Jesus. This process may be more accelerated today, or simply more prominent and public in its expression. A vivid – if not lurid - expression of this skeptical approach to the resurrection claims of the first Christians can be found in the work of the New Testament scholar Dom Dominic Crossan.

  • 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.

  • The Death and Resurrection of Jesus the Final Three Chapters Of
    Matthew 26-28: The Death and Resurrection of Jesus The final three chapters of Matthew’s gospel follow Mark’s lead in telling of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. At each stage Matthew adds to Mark’s story material that addresses concerns of his community. The overall story will be familiar to most readers. We shall focus on the features that are distinctive of Matthew’s version, while keeping the historical situation of Jesus’ condemnation in view. Last Supper, Gethsemane, Arrest and Trial (26:1–75) The story of Jesus’ last day begins with the plot of the priestly leadership to do away with Jesus (26:1–5). As in Mark 14:1-2 they are portrayed as acting with caution, fearing that an execution on the feast of Passover would upset the people (v 5). Like other early Christians, Matthew held the priestly leadership responsible for Jesus’ death and makes a special effort to show that Pilate was a reluctant participant. Matthew’s apologetic concerns probably color this aspect of the narrative. While there was close collaboration between the Jewish priestly elite and the officials of the empire like Pilate, the punishment meted out to Jesus was a distinctly Roman one. His activity, particularly in the Temple when he arrived in Jerusalem, however he understood it, was no doubt perceived as a threat to the political order and it was for such seditious activity that he was executed. Mark (14:3–9) and John (12:1–8) as well as Matthew (26:6–13) report a dramatic story of the anointing of Jesus by a repentant sinful woman, which Jesus interprets as a preparation for his burial (v.

  • 40 Days with the Words of Jesus
    40 DAYS WITH THE WORDS OF JESUS 2 RED LETTER REVOLUTION || INTRO Thank you for participating in Red Letter Revolution: 40 Days with the Words of Jesus Jesus started a revolution. His ministry began when he stood up in his home congregation and upon reading from the prophet Isaiah, he said he was to preach good news to the poor, freedom for prisoners, and proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor. During Jesus’ ministry crowds marveled at his teachings because he was “one who taught with authority.” The apostles chose to stick with Jesus because his words are “the words of eternal life.” You are wise when you put into practice the words of Jesus. Like the wise man who built his house upon a rock, the winds may blow, and the storm waters may surge but your faith will not fall. Jesus started a revolution. And it’s still going strong. There is no stopping “the Word made flesh.” Over the next 40 days, you will immerse yourself in the words of the Living Word, Jesus Christ. You can be a part of the Red Letter Revolution. As you spend time with the words of Jesus, may you begin to live a red-letter life. - Jovan Barrington, Senior Minister of Littleton Church of Christ RED LETTER REVOLUTION: 40 Days with the Words of Jesus 3 Over the next 40 days, you will read the words of Jesus daily. With each reading you will be provided these questions to help live a red-letter life. REFLECT What does Jesus want you to see? (Notice the words or phrases that connect with you.) Who does God want you to be? (How can this passage shape who you are becoming?) RESPOND What does the Holy Spirit want you to do? (How should I respond to the passage?) PRAYER How does God want you to pray in response to the reading today? RED LETTER REVOLUTION: 40 Days with the Words of Jesus 4 RED LETTER REVOLUTION || DAY 1 Reading: Luke 4:14-21 (NIV) Jesus Rejected at Nazareth 14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.

  • John 19:17-42
    Sunday, July 21, 2019 FBC Vidalia Dr. Ricky Cummings Evening Service Series: Christ the Logos – A Study of the Gospel of John Sermon: The Crucifixion and Burial of Jesus Christ John 19:17-42 Facts about the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ: Jesus was crucified between two criminals. John 19:17-18 (ESV) 17 and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. A sign was written above Jesus stating, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews”. John 19:19-22 (ESV) 19 Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” 20 Many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written.” The soldiers divide up Jesus’ clothes. John 19:23-24 (ESV) 23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, 24 so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture which says, “They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.” So the soldiers did these things, The women who stood near the cross John 19:25 (ESV) but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

  • THE SEVENTH STOP: the BURIAL of JESUS “…Mary Magdalene And
    THE SEVENTH STOP: THE BURIAL OF JESUS “…Mary Magdalene and the other Mary remained sitting there, facing the tomb.” When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who was himself a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be handed over. Taking the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen and laid it in his new tomb that he had hewn in the rock. Then he rolled a huge stone across the entrance to the tomb and departed. But Mary Magdalene and the other Mary remained sitting there, facing the tomb.” (Matthew 27:57-61) Jesus is Laid in the Tomb by Tea Schaino Reflect Burial is the period at the end of the human sentence. Its crushing finality bears witness to the extent of loss. How does one ever find compensation for the death of a loved one – more so for the death of one who carries all hope for the future? The Hindu poet Tagore tells of a widow who grieved bitterly by the river for her dead husband and wished desperately to join him. A wise man, finding her so aggrieved, sent her home with much spiritual encouragement, promising that she would soon find her beloved. After a month, neighbors noticed a change in the woman’s demeanor and a lightness about her, and asked, “Woman, have you found your husband? Where is he?” She answered, “In my heart is my lord, one with me.” She had realized what all who grieve must learn – that what is held in the heart is never truly lost.

  • The Arrest of Jesus
    Sermon Discussion Guide: The Arrest of Jesus Scripture: ​Luke 22:47–53 Series: ​The Gospel of Luke Sunday, June 14, 2020 — O V E R V I E W In these verses we see Jesus betrayed with a kiss and arrested for crimes he didn’t commit. We don’t see Jesus act as we might if arrested. Rather, we see our Savior display many of the same traits that He has throughout his ministry. He leads by example. He did not repay evil by sinning. He shows us his true power and example so we might place our zeal in Christ. God knows each of us and we need to “learn from and lean on Christ.” ​Jesus submits to evil to save us from evil. — C O R R O B O R A T I N G T E X T S John 18:1–11; Colossians 2:13–15; 1 John 4:14 — D I S C U S S I O N Q U E S T I O N S 1. Jesus is betrayed by Judas when he draws near with a kiss. Read Psalm 55:12–14. Did Jesus feel betrayed? Why is the act of the kiss so significant in the betrayal? Pastor Joe called the kiss of Judas “a lie.” The act is very hypocritical. How are we like Judas? Can our relationship with Jesus become a lie? What is the application for us? 2. Most are familiar with the account of Jesus’ arrest. We see Jesus’ actions in both parallel accounts in Luke and John.
