  • 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).

  • 1 No Fear…In Jesus! 2 Timothy 1:1-7 Turn to the Back of the Book to Get
    1 No Fear…In Jesus! 2 Timothy 1:1-7 Turn to the back of the book to get the feel and the context for 2 Timothy. Paul concludes his letter by writing these words: “For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. Be diligent to come to me quickly; for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica—Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry. And Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you come—and the books, especially the parchments. Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works. You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words. At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them. But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

  • 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.

July 30, 2017 – 8th Sunday After Pentecost | Apostles Silas, Silvanus, Crescens, Epenetus, and Andronicus of the LXX The Holy Apostles of the Seventy Silas, Silvanus, Crescens, Epenetus and Andronicus were disciples of the Savior. Saint Silas was a respected figure in the original Church at Jerusalem, one of the “chief men among the brethren” (Acts 15:22). The Council of the Apostles was convened at Jerusalem in the year 51 to deal with the question of whether Gentile Christian converts should be required to observe the Mosaic Law. The Apostles sent a message with Paul and Barnabas to the Christians of Antioch, giving the decision of the Council that Christians of Gentile origin did not have to observe the prescriptions of the Mosaic Law. Nonetheless, they were told that they must refrain from partaking of foods offered to idols, from things strangled and from blood, to refrain from fornication (Acts 15:20-29). Together with Saints Paul and Barnabas, the Council of the Apostles sent Saints Silas and Jude to explain the message in greater detail, since they both were filled with the grace of the Holy Spirit.
