  • The Council of Jerusalem and St. Paul's Second Missionary Journey
    Handout 1: Acts Lesson 7 The Acts of Paul c. 160AD: Paul was a man of small stature with a bald head and bowed legs and of good carriage. His eyebrows met in the middle and his nose was rather large and he was full of grace for at times he seemed a man and at times he had the face of an angel. Rachetti’s summary of descriptions of Paul from ancient manuscripts: “A summary of the early descriptions is as follows: Paul is stylized as a short, bald man with a thick beard, a prominent nose, his eyebrows meeting in the middle, his legs somewhat bowed, but on the whole a man of dignified appearance and bearing.” The three points Peter makes concerning the Gentiles in Acts 15:9-10. 1. The inclusion of the Gentiles is God’s doing. 2. God chose the Gentiles like He chose the Jews by divine election through the Holy Spirit. 3. In their divine election, the Gentiles are equal to Jews. The Council of Jerusalem’s decision concerning Gentile converts. They must: 1. Abstain from meat sacrificed to false gods 2. Reject marriage that is considered incest because it is too close a degree of kinship 3. Observe the prohibition against eating strangled animals or blood SECOND MISSIONARY JOURNEY: Approximate dates: 50 – 52 AD Companions: Silas, Timothy, Priscilla and Aquila, Luke Mission field: Syria, Turkey, Greece Approximate miles traveled: 2,800 miles Sent by church of Antioch, Syria Syria and Cilicia (Tarsus, the capital of Cilicia was Paul’s Acts 15:23 hometown) Derbe and Lystra in Lycaonia/South Galatia Acts 16:1-5 Phrygia and North Galatia Acts 16:6 Mysia to Troas Acts 16:7-10 Samothrace and Neapolis Acts 16:11 Philippi in Macedonia Acts 16:12-40 Amphipolis and Apollonia Acts 17:1 Thessalonica Acts 17:1-9 Beroea (Berea) Acts 17:10-15 Athens Acts 17:16-34 Corinth Acts 18:1-18 Cenchrea (Cenchreae) Acts 18:18 Ephesus Acts 18:19-21 Caesarea Acts 18:22 Jerusalem Acts 18:23 Antioch, Syria Acts 18:23 Michal E.

October 7th ……………………….. Is the Bible consistent with science? October 14th …………………….. Is the Bible reliable? October 21st …………………… Why does God allow suffering? October 28th …………………… Is Jesus the only way to God? November 4th …………………… Can anyone know for sure he’s going to heaven? November 11th …………………. Why are there so many hypocrites in the church? November 18th …………………. Isn’t the church a man-made institution? Community Bible Church You’ve Got Questions, God Has Answers Isn’t the Church a Man-Made Institution? Introduction The role of the church in one’s spiritual life is a matter of considerable discussion and misunder- standing. One extreme sees the church as necessary for salvation. For example, Pope Boniface VIII wrote in 1302, “Outside the church there is no salvation.”1 More recently the Roman Catho- lic Church has sought to clarify this in the 1992 Catechism of the Catholic Church which restated it as: “How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers? Refor- mulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body.”2 Explaining the last part of that statement (“salvation comes … through the Church …”) the leading Catholic apologetics organization, Catholic Answers, says: “Since the sacraments are the ordinary means through which Christ offers the grace necessary for salvation, and the Catholic Church that Christ established is the ordinary minister of those sacraments, it is appropriate to state that salvation comes through the Church.” In layman’s terms this means that since, according to Roman Catholicism, Mass and other ordinances are required for forgiveness of sins, and since one can only receive those through the Catholic Church administered by a priest of the church, then unless one dies in the good graces of that church, he will not go to Heaven.

  • THE GEOGRAPHY of GALATIA Gal 1:2; Act 18:23; 1 Cor 16:1
    CHAPTER 38 THE GEOGRAPHY OF GALATIA Gal 1:2; Act 18:23; 1 Cor 16:1 Mark Wilson KEY POINTS • Galatia is both a region and a province in central Asia Minor. • The main cities of north Galatia were settled by the Gauls in the third cen- tury bc. • The main cities of south Galatia were founded by the Greeks starting in the third century bc. • Galatia became a Roman province in 25 bc, and the Romans established colonies in many of its cities. • Pamphylia was part of Galatia in Paul’s day, so Perga and Attalia were cities in south Galatia. GALATIA AS A REGION and their families who migrated from Galatia is located in a basin in north-cen- Thrace in 278 bc. They had been invited tral Asia Minor that is largely flat and by Nicomedes I of Bithynia to serve as treeless. Within it are the headwaters of mercenaries in his army. The Galatians the Sangarius River (mode rn Sakarya) were notorious for their destructive and the middle course of the Halys River forays, and in 241 bc the Pergamenes led (modern Kızılırmak). The capital of the by Attalus I defeated them at the battle Hittite Empire—Hattusha (modern of the Caicus. The statue of the dying Boğazköy)—was in eastern Galatia near Gaul, one of antiquity’s most noted the later site of Tavium. The name Galatia works of art, commemorates that victo- derives from the twenty thousand Gauls ry. 1 The three Galatian tribes settled in 1 .

  • Faith Tourism Potential of Konya in Terms of Christian Sacred Sites
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by European Scientific Journal (European Scientific Institute) European Scientific Journal July 2015 /SPECIAL/ edition ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 FAITH TOURISM POTENTIAL OF KONYA IN TERMS OF CHRISTIAN SACRED SITES Dr. Gamze Temizel Dr. Melis Attar Selcuk University, Faculty of Tourism,Konya/Turkey Abstract Among the countries In the Middle East, Turkey is the second country that has the most biblical sites after Israel. It is called as ―The Other Holy Land‖ because of this reason. The land of Turkey which is bounded by the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Black Seas is referred as Asia Minor or Anatolia in Biblical reference works. Asia Minor or Anatolia as mentioned in history or the present day Turkey is important for Christianity to understand the background of the New Testament. Approximately two-thirds of New Testament books were written either to or from churches in Turkey. The three major apostles; Peter, Paul, and John either ministered or lived in Turkey. Turkey‘s rich spiritual heritage starts at the very beginning in the book of Genesis. Konya or Iconium as mentioned in history is one of the important cities of Turkey in terms of its historical and cultural heritage. It‘s a city that has an important place both in Christian and Islamic world, even in history and present day. Although Konya is famous today because of its Muslim mosques, its theological schools and its connection with the great Sufi mystic Celaleddin Rumi; better known as Mevlana, the 13th century Sufi mystic, poet, philosopher and founder of the Mevlevi order of whirling dervishes, Konya has a biblical significance since it was mentioned in the New Testament as one of the cities visited by Apostle Paul.

  • S 1St Missionary Journey- Lystra
    An Angry Crowd in Lystra- Paul’s 1st Journey Scripture Reference: Acts 13:1-3 and Acts 14:8-20 Suggested Emphasis: We should think for ourselves and not just follow a group. Memory Verse: “Don’t make friends with anyone who has a bad temper. You might turn out like them and get caught in a trap.” Proverbs 22:24-25, CEV ….. ….. ….. ….. ….. ….. Story Overview: The Holy Spirit directed the Antioch church to send Barnabas and Saul on a mission trip to teach people about Christ. This trip is often referred to as “Paul’s First Missionary Journey”. One of the stops on this journey was the city of Lystra where Paul healed a man who had not ever been able to walk. A frenzied crowed first worshiped Paul and Barnabas as gods and then turned on them and stoned Paul. Despite this, after the crowd left, Paul miraculously stood up as if not injured. After re-visiting some of the previous stops Paul and Barnabas returned to the Antioch church to tell them all of the things God had done. Background Study: Click here for an overview of the Book of Acts The word “Gentile” refers to anyone who was not born into a Jewish family. In the Old Testament only the Jews followed God. After Jesus came to earth he wanted everyone to follow God and follow him. So in the New Testament things were different than the Old Testament. Some Jewish people followed Jesus and some Gentile people followed Jesus. The Antioch Church was made up of both Jews and Gentiles so they sent Paul and Barnabas on this missionary journey to tell everyone about Jesus (Acts 13:2-3) The trip that Barnabas and Saul set out on is often referred to as “Paul’s First Missionary Journey”.
