    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. Many commentators believe that he also carried the letters churches who are passionate for to Ephesians and Philemon with him for delivery in the region, but in any case, the gospel even when they may he was going to stay in Colossae at least long enough to provide the church have different styles and priorities, there with more information about Paul’s imprisonment (Colossians 4:7–9).

  • Paul the Emissary Companion Guide
    COMPANION GUIDE TO THE VIDEO Paul, the Emissary Prepared by Dr. Diana Severance P.O. Box 540 Worcester, PA 19490 610-584-3500 1-800-523-0226 Fax: 610-584-6643 E-Mail: [email protected] Web: www.visionvideo.com 2 Discussion Guide for The Emissary The Emissary portrays the story of the apostle Paul, closely following the Scriptural account in the book of Acts. Historians recognize that Paul was one of the most important men in all of world history. It was largely through his ministry that the message of Christianity was brought to much of the urban society of the Roman Empire within one generation. To better appreciate Paul’s ministry and impact, read the Scriptures, consider and discuss the following questions: 1. We first meet Paul in Scripture when Stephen was being stoned (Acts 7:54-60). At that time he was then called Saul. What role did Saul have in Stephen’s stoning? What impression might the dying Stephen’s words and behavior have on Saul? 2. Though born in Tarsus in Asia Minor, Paul was raised in Jerusalem, where he was a student of the beloved Gamaliel. What was Gamaliel’s attitude to the new sect of Christians? Why might Saul’s attitude differ so markedly from his teacher (Acts 22:3; 5:34-39; cf. 8:3; 9:1-2)? 3. Saul was not seeking the Lord Jesus, but the Lord was seeking him and spoke to Saul as he was on his way to Damascus to further persecute the Christians (Acts 9:1-7).

  • 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 Acts of the Apostles
    The Acts of the Apostles Author(s): White, Ellen Gould Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: This book is the fourth volume in White©s five-volume series entitled The Conflict of the Ages. The series tells the story of Christian history as told in the Bible, beginning from Gen- esis and ending in Revelation. The Acts of the Apostles covers the Great Commission to the visions given to John the Revelator, i.e., from the Book of Acts to the Book of Revelation. Her interpretation of history and the Bible is quite original, and provided a theological foundation for the forming of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. White©s unique and often controversial ideas address issues relevant to Christian faith and history that many of her contemporaries avoided. Although still highly criticized to this day, her work can chal- lenge readers to look at Christian perspectives on New Testament theology and the progression of history in new or alternative ways.

  • Jesus Eyes the Ends of the Earth Acts 19:21-20:5 Acts of the Exalted Jesus Sermon Series Kenwood Baptist Church Pastor David Palmer May 24, 2015
    Jesus Eyes the Ends of the Earth Acts 19:21-20:5 Acts of the Exalted Jesus Sermon Series Kenwood Baptist Church Pastor David Palmer May 24, 2015 TEXT: Acts 19:21-20:5 We continue this Sunday in our spring series on the Acts of the Exalted Jesus. This Sunday has many features to it: it's Pentecost Sunday; it's Memorial Day; and it's Teen Challenge Luncheon Sunday, so there are a lot of elements this morning. But, I want you think this morning in terms of Pentecost for just a minute. Pentecost is that interval between Passover and this summer celebration, the interval between Jesus’ resurrection from the dead and His exultation to the Father. Think back how long ago Easter feels from now, and that's the interval that Jesus spent with His disciples after He had been raised from the dead, teaching them of the Kingdom, and prompting them that they were to be His witnesses to the uttermost parts of the earth. This spring, we have been following Christ as He moves out in an ever-increasing sphere of witness. This morning, we look at the ministry that takes place in Ephesus, and it is really an impossible task. Luke tries to summarize in Acts 19 and 20 three years of ministry in about 10 minutes. How can you summarize three years of ministry in 10 minutes? Yet, that is the challenge of these chapters. These chapters are anecdotal. There are several different scenes that are included, and there is a lot that happens in Paul's ministry that Christ does through him and others, as we'll see.
