  • The Office of Woman in the New Testament
    The Office of Woman in the New Testament GEORG GUNTER BLUM 1 Indications of services rendered by women in the life of Jesus THERE are no direct statements by either the earthly or the Risen Christ on the position of women in the Christian community. In spite of this, the question as to the attitude of Jesus to women is both justified and significant. Although there is no answer either in developed teaching or in single statements, yet certain conclusions can be drawn from particular situations in the life of Jesus. The influence of Jesus, by word and deed, was exercised on both men and women without distinction. The Gospels depict for us a series of encounters of our Lord with women, and we are shown emphatically that it was precisely the women who were honoured by his miracles and his revealing teaching. 1 But of greater importance is the fact that a small group of women lived constantly in the society of Jesus and followed him, just as did the disciples. Luke the Evangelist emphasises this fact, and refers to it in one of his summarised reports of Jesus's activity: 'And the twelve were with him, and certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, and Joanna, the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others which minis­ tered unto him of their substance' (Luke 8:1-3). This report is not exclusive to Luke, nor is it according to a specially Lukan construction.

  • MARY MAGDALENE: a MISUNDERSTOOD BIOGRAPHY – ‘Six Men & Six Women’ Series
    MARY MAGDALENE: A MISUNDERSTOOD BIOGRAPHY – ‘Six Men & Six Women’ Series You know if you are feeling tired this morning, you should really appreciate the crew who were here at 8:00 this morning. If I have ever been teaching and felt like I needed to inject an audience with something, I just witnessed it. I mean they were tired, but they were troopers for coming out and being a part of the early service. I know that you guys are excited today because it is one of those days where we will just break our New Year commitments as we begin to go off the deep end. I mean we will be eating really well today, since it is Easter, and now we are hosed. It just goes awry from here on. So I hope you have a good Easter Sunday with good fellowship. And I hope that this morning you will sense something from God’s word that you can take away from the message that will be an encouragement to you. Let me start off with a story. Several years ago, I was serving as an associate pastor in Conway, Arkansas at Celebration Church. It was a new church, and I was there on staff. I came in one Sunday morning, and I saw my bride getting a cup of coffee. So I went up behind her and began to give her a massage on her shoulders. But then she turned around, and lo and behold, it wasn’t my wife! I was horrified in that moment. What made it even worse was she was a first time guest to our church and I never saw that lady again.

  • Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek?
    2 Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek? Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek? A Concise Compendium of the Many Internal and External Evidences of Aramaic Peshitta Primacy Publication Edition 1a, May 2008 Compiled by Raphael Christopher Lataster Edited by Ewan MacLeod Cover design by Stephen Meza © Copyright Raphael Christopher Lataster 2008 Foreword 3 Foreword A New and Powerful Tool in the Aramaic NT Primacy Movement Arises I wanted to set down a few words about my colleague and fellow Aramaicist Raphael Lataster, and his new book “Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek?” Having written two books on the subject myself, I can honestly say that there is no better free resource, both in terms of scope and level of detail, available on the Internet today. Much of the research that myself, Paul Younan and so many others have done is here, categorized conveniently by topic and issue. What Raphael though has also accomplished so expertly is to link these examples with a simple and unambiguous narrative style that leaves little doubt that the Peshitta Aramaic New Testament is in fact the original that Christians and Nazarene-Messianics have been searching for, for so long. The fact is, when Raphael decides to explore a topic, he is far from content in providing just a few examples and leaving the rest to the readers’ imagination. Instead, Raphael plumbs the depths of the Aramaic New Testament, and offers dozens of examples that speak to a particular type. Flip through the “split words” and “semi-split words” sections alone and you will see what I mean.

  • St. Matthew the Apostle

The dioceses of New Jersey have not done this until last year because of Covid. The obligation to attend Mass on the traditional Ascension Thursday was therefore moved to the Sunday. This year again, the bishops of New Jersey (i.e. The Province of Newark) have agreed to transfer the feast to replace the Seventh Sunday of Easter. They will decide over the next few months whether this move would continue for future years. Currently, it only applies to this year. This coming Thursday would normally be that Holy Day of Obligation. But it is not a holy day, and we will only have the regularly-scheduled Mass at 8:30 AM which will be Thursday of the 6th Week of Easter (we will not do readings or Mass formulas for Ascension). You are not obligated to attend Mass on Thursday. Remember, during Covid, you are not required to attend Mass anyway.

    Chosen Discussion Guide – Adapted from Cypress Creek Church Episode 1 1. Which characters stood out to you most? Which were most interesting? 2. Nicodemus was “the teacher of teachers” of Israel. What was his relationship with other Jews? With the Romans? 3. What did you think about how enticing wealth was for Matthew and yet how hated he was for his willingness to work for Rome and extort his fellow Jews? How did the Romans treat Matthew? 4. What did you think of Simon Peter’s character in this episode? 5. Mary Magdalene remembered the Bible verse her Dad taught her (Isaiah 43:1) and then Jesus said it to her again. What parts of your “before” has God redeemed, and which are you most grateful for? 6. How does “I have called you by name, you are mine” impact you today? 7. What is the Holy Spirit saying to you through this episode? Episode 2 1. Shabbat - Shabbos, or the Sabbath, is Judaism's day of rest and seventh day of the week. On this day, religious Jews, Samaritans, and certain Christians remember the biblical story describing the creation of the heavens and the earth in six days and look forward to a future Messianic Age. The fourth commandment tells us, “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy” (Exodus 20:8). 2. Do we practice the Shabbat or Sabbath one day a week in our personal life? 3. What was going through Nicodemus’ mind regarding Mary’s healing? 4. Matthew said that his father said he has no son.

  • Nicodemus and the New Birth
    SESSION EIGHT Nicodemus and the New Birth SESSION SUMMARY This session depicts a conversation in which Jesus taught a religious leader, Nicodemus, about the mystery of regeneration—what He described as “being born again.” Christians have been born again by the Spirit of God, through faith in God’s Son. The new birth is the basis of our confidence that God is at work transforming us and all who believe in the gospel. SCRIPTURE John 3:1-21 86 Leader Guide / Session 8 THE POINT Regeneration is God’s supernatural transformation of believers. INTRO/STARTER 5-10 MINUTES Option 1 Toy commercials are usually filled with action. They show kids having fun as they play with whatever product is being promoted. They highlight the gadget’s best features in a way that appeals to a child’s sense of imagination. But at the end, a narrator usually comes on and makes a disclaimer: “Batteries not included.” Most likely, there were numerous occasions when well-meaning parents or guardians purchased a toy their child wanted without realizing there were no batteries in the box—unbearable disappointment in the eyes of a child! The kid feels duped, the parent is embarrassed, and the moment of bliss fades away because the toy can’t function. • When have you been disappointed by something not functioning as you thought it would? What was the reason for the item’s inability to function? As Christians, we believe salvation is a gift. God our Father has shown us grace in giving us salvation. But unlike those disappointing toy commercials, this gift doesn’t need a disclaimer that says “batteries are not included.” The good news about God’s gift is that, alongside forgiveness of sins, we receive the Holy Spirit.

  • A Study in Bitter Remorse (John 12: 1-8)
    1 A Study in Bitter Remorse (John 12: 1-8) Today we continue the ancient church season of Lent. The word Lent is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words lencten, meaning "Spring," and lenctentid, which literally means "Springtide" and is also the word used for "March," the month in which the majority of Lent falls. The season of Lent includes 40 days (not counting Sundays) before Easter. Our Roman Catholic friends have been observing this season for much longer than we Protestants. But during my lifetime (41 years) there has been a shift of embracing many of these older church traditions. The number "40" has always had special significance concerning preparation. You’ll remember that on Mount Sinai, preparing to receive the Ten Commandments, "Moses stayed with the Lord for 40 days and 40 nights, without eating any food or drinking any water" (Ex 34:28). Also, that Elijah walked "40 days and 40 nights" to the mountain of the Lord, Mount Horeb (another name for Sinai) (I Kgs 19:8). And most importantly, Jesus fasted and prayed for "40 days and 40 nights" in the desert before He began His public ministry (Mt 4:2). Many churches encourage its members to refrain from something for 40 days that they would otherwise indulge in *story about Maggie and chocolate* People often withhold food/some activity so as to feel closer to the weight of the cross. Speaking of the cross… The cross you see before you this morning is on loan from our friends… For Lent, I will be doing a series called, “The faces of the cross”, each Sunday and Wednesday we will reflect upon a new “face” that contributed in some way to the events of Holy week.

  • Only One John: the Apostle Who Wrote Five Books
    Supplement to Introducing the New Testament, 2nd ed. © 2018 by Mark Allan Powell. All rights reserved. 30.13 Only One John: The Apostle Who Wrote Five Books Most scholars who identify the apostle John with “the Beloved Disciple” are willing to grant that person a role (perhaps limited, perhaps pronounced) in the composition of the Gospel of John. However, the strong tendency in scholarship is to associate the three Johannine Epistles with another person named John and the book of Revelation with yet a third person who bore that name: New Testament Writing To Be Associated with Gospel of John John the apostle 1 John John the elder 2 John John the elder 3 John John the elder Revelation John the seer (otherwise unknown) But a strong minority of scholars contest this. No Need for a Distinct “John the Elder” First, the scholars challenge the contention of Eusebius (fourth- century historian) to the effect that John the apostle and John the elder were two different people. Robert Gundry notes that Eusebius begins by quoting Papias (an early-second-century church leader): Supplement to Introducing the New Testament, 2nd ed. © 2018 by Mark Allan Powell. All rights reserved. “If anyone came who had followed the elders, I inquired into the words of the elders, what Andrew or Peter or Philip or Thomas or James or John or Matthew or any other of the Lord’s disciples had said, and what Aristion and the Elder John, the Lord’s disciples, were saying.” (Papias quoted by Eusebius in Church History 3.39.4) Then Gundry says, Both times that the name John appears, it appears with both the designations “elder” and “the Lord’s disciple.” By contrast, Aristion—even though designated a “Lord’s disciple”—lacks the title “elder” when mentioned alongside John.

  • Paul Or Matthias: Who Was the Real 12Th Apostle?
    Paul or Matthias: Who Was the Real 12 th Apostle? Ep.1113 – February 17, 2020 Paul or Matthias: Who Was the Real 12th Apostle? Contradiction Series Acts 1:21-22: (NASB) 21 Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us 22 …one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection. For every Christian, Jesus is THE example, leader and fulfiller of our faith. We continually gain inspiration from his perfect example and unselfish sacrifice. When we think about a less- than-perfect Christian example, most of us go to the Apostle Peter or the Apostle Paul. Both men showed us how to achieve spiritual victory through imperfection. They both had failures, they both had regrets, they both had doubts, and yet they were faithful. These challenges endear them to our hearts and give us courage to work through our own imperfect experiences. Knowing this, it can be hard to believe there are many who see the Apostle Paul as an interloper, one who hijacked the gospel message. These accusations begin with disregarding the authenticity of Paul’s apostleship. They say Matthias, as a replacement for Judas, was appointed as the 12th Apostle long before Paul’s conversion. We started our four-part series on contradictions with things Paul said or did that require a second look: Ep.1111: Does the Apostle Paul Contradict Himself? (Part I) Ep.1112: Does the Apostle Paul Contradict Himself? (Part II) This podcast is a special foundational program.
