  • Capernaum, the City of Jesus
    Capernaum “Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught.” (Mark 1:21) © 2017 David Padfield www.padfield.com Scripture taken from the New King James Version. Copyright 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc. Used by permission. All rights reserved. Capernaum, The City Of Jesus Introduction I. The city of Capernaum was a small fishing village on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, about two miles west of the Jordan River. A. The Hebrew name for this village is Keœfar NahΩum, which means, “village of Nahum.” B. While this ancient town is not mentioned by name in the Old Testament, it is mentioned sixteen times in the New Testament. C. Matthew refers to Capernaum as our Lord’s “own city” (Matt 9:1), for it became the center of His Galilean ministry. D. This is interesting since He was not born in Capernaum, His parents did not live in there, and He did not grow up there! E. Jesus performed more miracles and preached more sermons in and around Capernaum than at any other place during His entire ministry. F. The residents of this prosperous town were common people who made their living from fishing, agriculture, and trade. G. The road leading to Damascus passed nearby, providing a commercial link with regions to the north and south. H. Capernaum was also a garrison town, housing a detachment of Roman soldiers, under a centurion, along with government officials. II. It was in the vicinity of Capernaum that Jesus chose several of His apostles.

Trade and Commerce At Sepphoris, Israel Sarah VanSickle 1998 Honors Research Dr. Dennis E. Groh, Advisor I Introduction Trade patterns in the Near East are the subject of conflicting interpretations. Researchers debate whether Galilean cities utilized trade routes along the Sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean or were self-sufficient, with little access to trade. An analysis of material culture found at specific sites can most efficiently determine the extent of trade in the region. If commerce is extensive, a significant assemblage of foreign goods will be found; an overwhelming majority of provincial artifacts will suggest minimal trade.

  • Jesus Teaches and Heals
    January 31, 2021 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time Jesus Teaches and Heals In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus heals a man whom others reject.

Complete the project, and then share how you teach others about Jesus. In the blank space, create a sticker that teaches about something important to you. Examples: taking care of the earth and its creatures, respect for life, being a good friend, choosing joy.

  • Biblical References - Israel
    BIBLICAL REFERENCES - ISRAEL THE COASTAL PLAIN Caesarea Maritime -- Founded by Herod the Great in 22 B.C., named for Augustus Caesar. The seat of Roman government in Palestine for over 500 years. A center of the early followers of Jesus: Phillip, one of the seven deacons from Jerusalem, was the first to preach here, and later settled in Caesarea with his 4 prophesying daughters. (Acts 8:40; 21:8-9) Here, Cornelius became the first Gentile convert to the new faith (Acts 10), and the Apostle Paul was imprisoned before being taken to Rome to stand trial. Cana -- The place of the first miracle performed by Jesus, where he turned the water into wine at that most famous wedding. (John 2:1-11) Nazareth -- A small village never mentioned in the Hebrew Bible (OT), today Nazareth is the largest Arab city in Israel with a population of 60,000 - half Christians and half Muslims. Here, the Lord Jesus spent most of his life until his ministry began at age 30. (e.g., Luke 1:26-28; 2:1-7; 2:21-23; 2:41-52; 4:16-30 Mark 6:1-6) K'far Kedem -- Restored, life-size model of a Galilee village. Spend a festive evening amidst the ancient atmosphere of the Galilee region; feast on local foods and wines; donkey rides; witness olive pressing, baking, and goat milking. Mount Carmel -- This mountain, 13 miles long, projects into the Mediterranean Sea at Haifa. The mountain rises from the sea so sharply that the rapidly rising air is forced to deposit its moisture as rain or dew.
