    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).
  • “The Twelve Disciples” Sermon # 10 the Final Three – the “Lesser Lights

    “The Twelve Disciples” Sermon # 10 the Final Three – the “Lesser Lights

    “The Twelve Disciples” Sermon # 10 The Final Three – the “lesser lights” James the Less: Simon the Zealot and Judas-the Apostle with Three Names In the story of the creation we read that God created the sun and the moon as two great lights; the sun to rule by day and the moon to rule by night. He made the stars as lesser lights. As among the heavenly bodies there are greater and lesser lights so among the men who made up the Apostles there is also such a distinction. [Herbert Lockyer. All the Apostles of the Bible. (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1972) pp. 167-168] The disciples did not all share the spotlight to the same extent. There were those disciples who great lights, like Peter, James and John and there were those disciples who we do not know very much about. Perhaps the final three disciples –the “lesser lights” should be more encouraging to us than those apostles that to us look like super saints. These “lesser” known apostles were just as important as the others and from them we can learn some valuable lessons. This is important because behind the scenes in any church there are always unsung heroes … people who serve quietly, without public acclaim, doing things that are essential to the health and growth of the church. The truth of the matter is that the majority of Christians must be ready to serve God in this way...anonymously...with little or no accolades because there are not many spotlights for Christian heroes on this side of eternity.
  • Acts of the Apostles 12 the Third Circle: James the Less, Judas, Simon the Zealot

    Acts of the Apostles 12 the Third Circle: James the Less, Judas, Simon the Zealot

    Acts of the Apostles 12 The Third Circle: James the Less, Judas, Simon the Zealot Once we come to the third circle of the Apostles, we have almost no information outside of their names. That is, with the exception of the infamous, Judas Iscariot (not the Judas in this study). James the Less, Judas and Simon the Zealot: In Scripture Matthew 10:2-4; Mark 3:16-19; Luke 6:13-16, Acts 1:13 James the Less, Judas (also called Thaddaeus or Labbaeus), and Simon the Zealot appear in all the lists of the Apostles. James the Less John 19:25, Mark 15:40 — A bit more on James Scripture doesn’t tell us a thing about James the Less except his name and that he was the son of Alphaeus and Mary. If we check Matthew 27:56 and Mark 15:47, another son of Mary is mentioned, Joses. This Joses must have been fairly well known in the early church because his name pops up from time to time. Also Mary was fairly famous. She was one of the women who came to prepare Jesus body for burial. (Mark 16:1) Beyond this, we know nothing from Scripture about James. James the Less gets his nickname from Scripture. (Mark 15:40) Why? Some think it is because he was a small man. Others suggest it is because he is less famous than the other James, an apostle in the inner circle. We just don’t know. This James was probably not the author of the New Testament book by that name.
  • James the Lesser & Philip Today We Celebrate the Apostles James And

    James the Lesser & Philip Today We Celebrate the Apostles James And

    James the Lesser & Philip Today we celebrate the Apostles James and Philip. We’ll look at each of them separately. James: The James that we celebrate today is not James, the brother of John, the sons of Zebedee. Instead, this is James, the “son of Alphaeus.” Sometimes he is referred to as “James the Less.” Less does not necessarily mean that he was less important than James (the brother of John), but rather James the younger. Evidently, James played a prominent role in the early Church. When there was much debate at the Council of Jerusalem over the role of circumcision, along with Peter, James declared that Gentiles could be received into the Church without being circumcised. Additionally, the Epistle of James in the New Testament is attributed to this James. This letter is critical in that it reminds us that faith is not just a verbal declaration, but rather must be practiced in good works. He shows us that our faith must be practical and fulfilled in life, especially in love of neighbor and dedication to the poor. James says that just as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead. True faith shows itself in works in the way we live our lives. Philip, for his part, was from Bethsaida. This was also the hometown of Peter and Andrew. After being called by Jesus, Philip finds Nathaniel and tells him about Jesus. When Nathaniel asks if anything good can come from Nazareth, Philip says “Come and see.” This is one of my favorite lines in Scripture.

    The Beauty of Holiness: Anglican Worship and Sacramental Theology 1 THE CONGRESS OF TRADITIONAL ANGLICANS June 1–4, 2011 - Victoria, BC, Canada An Address by The Reverend Canon Kenneth Gunn-Walberg, Ph.D. Rector of St. Mary’s, Wilmington, Delaware After Morning Prayer Friday in Ascensiontide, June 3, 2011 THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS: ANGLICAN WORSHIP AND SACRAMENTAL THEOLOGY When I was approached by Fr. Sinclair to make this presentation, he suggested that the conceptual framework of the lectures would be that they be positive presentations of traditional Anglican principles from both a biblical and historical perspective and in the light of the contemporary issues in contrast to traditional Anglicanism, especially as expressed in the Affirmation of St. Louis and in the 39 Articles. The rubrics attached to this paper were that Anglican worship should be examined in the light of contemporary liturgies, the Roman Rite, and the proposed revision of the Book of Common Prayer to bring it in line with Roman views. This perforce is a rather tall order; so let us begin. The late Pulitzer Prize winning poet W.H. Auden stated that the Episcopal Church “seems to have gone stark raving mad…And why? The Roman Catholics have had to start from scratch, and as any of them with a feeling for language will admit, they have made a cacophonous horror of the mass. Whereas we had the extraordinary good fortune in that our Prayer Book was composed at exactly the right historical moment. The English language had become more or less what it is today…but the ecclesiastics of the 16 th century still professed a feeling for the ritual and ceremonies which today we have almost entirely lost.” 1 While one might quibble somewhat with what he said, he certainly would have been more indignant had he witnessed me little more than a decade after his death celebrating the Eucharist before the Dean and Canons of St.

  • James, the Son of Alphaeus… About Whom We Are Given Very Little Information

    James, the Son of Alphaeus… About Whom We Are Given Very Little Information

    JAMES We are coming to the last four of the disciples, - James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot. There are three prominent men called James in the New Testament, - James the disciple/apostle (the son of Zebedee and brother of John), James who wrote the epistle (he is considered by many commentators to be James, the Lord’s brother [i.e. half-brother] mentioned in Gal. 1:19, and one of the leaders in the early church in Jerusalem), and James, the son of Alphaeus… about whom we are given very little information. The name ‘James’ (VIa,kwboj) comes from the Hebrew name ‘Jacob’ (bqo[]y: Ya’aqob) meaning ‘supplanter’. A ‘supplanter’ is one who takes over or takes the place of someone else … often by dubious means. For example, the Jacobite Rebellion was an attempt in Great Britain and Ireland by the Roman Catholic James (VII of Scotland and II of England and Ireland) to supplant the throne from the rightful king, the Protestant William of Orange. ‘James’ in the Latin is ‘Jacobus’, hence ‘Jacobite’ … In the Bible, Jacob was one of the twin sons of Isaac and Rebekah, Gen. 25:20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. 21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
