  • Point Introduction Understanding
    brentwood baptist BRENTWOOD SUMMER SERIES THE CHURCH SENT ACTS 13:1-4 8/2/2020 MAIN POINT As the church in Antioch grew and developed new leaders, God called those leaders out for new endeavors. INTRODUCTION As your group time begins, use this section to introduce the topic of discussion. Have someone share about a mission trip or local mission experience. Share photos if available. When you think about your walk with Christ, how have you experienced Him sending you out to new ministry endeavors? How would you explain what it means to be called of God for ministry? Who do you think that applies to? In your experience, how have you discerned if God was calling you to something? How big a role did the confirmation of other believers play in your discernment? Luke chronicled the circumstances surrounding the launch of Paul’s first missionary journey. The number of leaders with the ability to teach had increased considerably since Barnabas arrived in Antioch. With everything growing and developing in Antioch, one might think that the leadership should just keep doing what they were doing. To the contrary, in the midst of the healthy development in Antioch, God called out Saul and Barnabas to be sent to fulfill other works to which God had called them. UNDERSTANDING Unpack the biblical text to discover what the Scripture says or means about a particular topic. HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ ACTS 13:1. As the work in Antioch had progressed, so too had the mantle of leadership. At the time when Barnabas was originally dispatched by the leadership in Jerusalem to investigate the salvation phenomenon in Antioch, Barnabas was the only teacher and disciple- maker of new converts.

  • St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Church
    April 14, 2019 Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord ST. GABRIEL THE ARCHANGEL CATHOLIC CHURCH Stewardship Reflection on Readings IS 50:4-7; PS 22:8-9, 17-20, 23-34; PHIL 2:6-11; LK 22:14- 23:56 or LK 23:1-49 Two very different responses to our Lord’s passion are highlighted during the Gospel reading from Luke today: the response of Simon of Cyrene and the response of Jesus’ acquaintances. Of Simon we are told, “They took hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country; and after laying the cross on him, they made him carry it behind Jesus.” Whether Simon entered willingly and compassionately into this service or whether he took up the Cross of Christ with a grudge, we don’t know. What we do know is this: Simon did his part faithfully. He stayed near to Christ, carrying the Cross until our Lord reached Golgotha, the site of His crucifixion. We also know that Simon’s family were among the first of the early Christians. Staying near to Christ, embracing the Cross (quite literally), transformed his life and the life of his family. In contrast, near the end of this Gospel account we are told of another reaction to Jesus’ passion and death, namely that “all His acquaintances stood at a distance.” They knew Jesus! They had heard him preaching and teaching, witnessed His signs and miracles, maybe even benefited personally from them. Perhaps they did not participate in mocking Him or calling for His crucifixion.

  • WALKING the VIA DOLOROSA Scripture: Hebrews 10:-16-25 Good
    WALKING THE VIA DOLOROSA Scripture: Hebrews 10:-16-25 Good Friday, April 10, 2020 Walking with Jesus on this last day of his earthly, human life, I remember walking the Via Dolorosa, the Way of Sorrow. I have participated in many services and rituals of The Stations of the Cross both as an Episcopalian and a Methodist. My first experience was opening night of my Cursillo (the Episcopal version of Road to Emmaus). It was after dinner and introductions when we went to the chapel for what I thought would be an Evening Prayer Service. It wasn't. It was the Stations of the Cross: scripture and a reading about each station. After this service, we retired, in silence, to our cells (we were in a monastery) for the night. I had been overwhelmed by emotions during the readings. Never had the story of Jesus’ last walk been so powerful. Until, that is, I walked the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem in April 1989. Jesus, the incarnate Son of God, walking these rough stone streets, bearing his cross, stumbling, falling, rising again and again as He willingly walks to his death. His death for me. Women along the way wept for him. Tradition says one even reached out and wiped his face, trying to clean off the blood and sweat and tears. Others in the crowd reviled and mocked him. Where would I have been? How would I have behaved? Would I have had love and courage enough to go to him, to wipe his face? Or would I have been a part of the mob that shouted “Crucify”? Would I have stood watch on Golgotha with Mary and John? It was not that long ago for us that we remember Mary “pondering all these things in her heart” after the visitation of the shepherds and then the Magi.

  • AFRICENTRIC: Lessons from Simon of Cyrene
    AFRICENTRIC: Lessons from Simon of Cyrene By Dr. Maurice C. Taylor Although little is written about him in the Bible, Simon of Cyrene has been on my mind quite a bit this Lenten season. In fact, the first three books of the New Testament provide only a very sketchy profile of a man from Cyrene, Simon by name, who was coming in from the country (Lk 23:26) and who was the father of Alexander and Rufus (Mk 15:21) whom Roman soldiers compelled to carry Jesus’ cross (Mt 27:32). Few other details about Simon exist beyond the fact that his home, Cyrene, was a Greek settlement in the province of Cyrenaica, which was in the eastern part of present-day Libya. It is easy to discount the story of Simon of Cyrene as contributing much to an understanding of the significance of the passion of Christ or of having any relevance in our daily lives. Indeed, every Lenten season, more sermons are preached about the cock crowing upon Peter’s third denial of knowing Jesus (Mt 26:74) and the two thieves crucified with Christ (Lk 39-43) than about Simon carrying Christ’s cross. Yet, for me, in many ways it is Simon’s story that most closely parallels the meaning of Christ’s journey to Golgotha bearing that cross on our behalf. First, Christ has no need to carry the cross for himself; after all, he has done nothing to warrant such a burden. Rather Christ is compelled to bear this cross for you and me.

  • The Transforming Power of the Cross and the Resurrection
    The Transforming Power of the Cross and the Resurrection Have you ever planned something special to do—something that you have really been looking forward to for a very long time—it could be a special trip or vacation—or maybe even something as simple as sitting down and reading a good book you’ve been waiting to read or watching a movie on DVD that you have been wanting to see. But, just when you get into doing it—something interrupts you. You have started out on your dream vacation—but the car has a flat tire. You are reading that book or watching the movie—and the phone rings. And you think, “Wow, why does this always happen to me?” I have to believe that that is the way that Simon must have felt on the day that Jesus was crucified. And I am not referring to Simon Peter, Jesus’ disciple. No, this is a different Simon—one who doesn’t receive quite as much attention in the Gospels. But this Simon has a story that bears telling, because in many ways he reflects the wonder and transforming power of the Cross and of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ in a manner that is compelling for all of us. His story teaches us that sometimes an interruption is exactly what we may need. You see, from all indications, Simon had planned one of those special things that he has longed to do all of his life. He had scrimped and saved his money for a trip from his home town in Cyrene in order to go to the Holy City of Jerusalem.

  • Simon of Cyrene
    Following in the Footsteps of the Crucified Lord Simon of Cyrene 1 Peter 2:21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example [program], that you should follow in his steps. CCC 1095 For this reason the Church, especially during Advent and Lent and above all at the Easter Vigil, re-reads and re-lives the great events of salvation history in the “today” of her liturgy. But this also demands that catechesis help the faithful to open themselves to this spiritual understanding of the economy of salvation as the Church’s liturgy reveals it and enables us to live it. CCC 540 By the solemn forty days of Lent the Church unites herself each year to the mystery of Jesus in the desert. CCC 571 The Paschal mystery of Christ’s cross and Resurrection stands at the center of the Good News that the apostles, and the Church following them, are to proclaim to the world. God’s saving plan was accomplished “once for all” by the redemptive death of his Son Jesus Christ. Luke 23:26 And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus. Isaiah 53 [Part of 4th Suffering Servant Song] Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed.

For centuries, Jerusalem has been a spiritual center. The three religions can be seen in the cultural landmarks (human made buildings that represent an idea or specific place) of Jerusalem and in the symbols used around the world to represent these religions. All three religions describe Abraham as an important figure in their early history. Muslims (followers of Islam) call Abraham, Ibrahim. Abraham and his family were nomads. They lived in tents and traveled from place to place in order to provide good grazing for their sheep. Abraham and his people are believed to have traveled in what is now the country of Israel, as well as areas that are now part of Syria, Turkey, Jordan, and Iraq. All three religions describe Abraham as the father of two sons, Isaac and Ishmael. Jews consider Isaac to be their ancestor, and Arabs consider Ishmael to be their ancestor. Jesus, whom Christians believe to be the son of God, lived in this area also.

  • Simon of Cyrene
    Online Bible Study Via Crucis – The Cross Demands Simon of Cyrene This week we began a series called "Via Crucis" or "The Way of the Cross," and we looked at the story of Simon of Cyrene who was forced to carry the cross for Jesus on the way to Calvary. As we put ourselves in Simon's place, we encounter what the cross demands of us. There is no middle ground. There is no room to negotiate. Jesus is calling each of us to pick up the cross and follow Him—completely, sacrificially, selflessly, and willingly. Read the accounts of the crucifixion in each of the Gospels: Matthew 27:32-56, Mark 15:21-41, Luke 23:26-49, John 19:16-37 As you think about Christ carrying the cross, what words come to mind? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We learn something about Simon of Cyrene from each Gospel’s account of the crucifixion: Matthew 27:32 As they were going out, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced to carry his cross. Mark 15:21 The soldiers forced a passerby to carry his cross, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country (he was the father of Alexander and Rufus). Luke 23:26 As they led him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country. They placed the cross on his back and made him carry it behind Jesus. Think about the moments as Simon is forced to carry Christ’s cross. Put yourself in Simon’s shoes and try to imagine what he was thinking.
