Are our prayers always petitions, asking Jesus to do things for us? If so, that’s a one-sided relationship. Living our faith means developing a personal relationship with Jesus. Just like any friendship, there is give and take, each side listening to each other and helping each other out. Take time in silence to listen to what Jesus is asking of you.

Sometimes in little ways we don’t even notice. Sometimes God does amazing things to take care of us too! Everyone say “God takes care of me!” In the Bible, God took care of a man named Jonah. Jonah was a prophet of God. Prophets tell God’s people messages from God. God tells prophets what to tell the people. One day, God gave Jonah a message for the wicked people of Nineveh. They would be punished if they did not stop doing bad things. Jonah didn’t want to go to Ninevah with God’s message. He got on a boat that was going far away. story continues on the next page 2 3 Lesson 1 A Whale of a Tale Jonah sailed away on the boat, but God sent a big storm. Jonah knew the storm would sink the boat if he didn’t get out of the boat. To stop the storm, the sailors threw Jonah over the side of the boat. Everyone hold your breath and try to swim! But Jonah did not drown in the waves! Jonah prayed to God. God sent a whale to swallow Jonah. Jonah stayed alive in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights. Everyone hold up three fingers! God took care of Jonah and kept him safe.

  • Mike Lambert Junias the Apostle. Really?
    Mike Lambert Junias the Apostle. Really? Junia the Apostle. Really? Mike Lambert 2013-07-12 The July 2013 issue of Ministry magazine carries the lead article, ªJunia The Apostle.º Much is made by the author of Junia being a ªfemale apostle.º This claim is based on the apostle Paul's description of Andronicus and Junia as ªmy kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before meº (Romans 16:7 KJV). The conclusion on p. 9 boldly declares, ªPaul recognized her as one of the apostles, a woman who was willing to suffer for the gospel she was busily spreading.º Receiving my July copy, seeing the cover with its title, then reading the article and evidences provided, I could only react with astonishment. One question. On what basis? Junia the apostle? Really? Theologians and historians have debated the text used in support of this claim and come to differing conclusions. To be fair, in her opening paragraph the author states that ªthrough the years, questions have been raised about her identity, occupation, and especially her gender.º Yet, she claims unequivocally in the title and the conclusion that Junia was a female apostle. OrdinationTruth.com Committed to Scripture//Subordinate to Jesus//Called to Unity page 1 Mike Lambert Junias the Apostle. Really? In proving her case, three and a half pages are spent looking at the name Junia in the Greek language, in antiquity, in early Christian references, in Greek NT manuscripts, in printed Greek New Testaments, and in modern translations.

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.

  • 1 Timothy Joins Paul and Silas
    simplybible.com/f77h.htm Author: Ron Graham Acts 16:1­15 —Verse by verse This page is a verse by verse study of Acts 16:1­15. These verses describe Paul’s second missionary journey as far as Philippi, and the conversion of Lydia. Timothy joins Paul and Silas in Paul’s second journey. Acts 16:1­15 ¶“1Paul came to Derbe and Lystra. Behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy. His mother was Jewish and a believer. Timothy’s father, however, was a Greek. 2The brethren who were at Lystra and Iconium spoke very highly of Timothy. 3Paul wanted Timothy as a companion on his journey. So Paul took Timothy and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts; for they all knew that Timothy’s father was a Greek.” (Acts 16:1­3). ¶“4As Paul, Silas, and Timothy went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees which the Christians were to keep and which had been decided by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem. 5So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.” (Acts 16:4­5). ¶“6When Paul, Silas, and Timothy had gone through the regions of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. 7When they had reached a point opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not allow them to go there either. 8So, Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.” (Acts 16:6­8). ¶“9At Troas, a vision appeared to Paul in the night.

  • St. Matthew the Evangelist Antiochian Orthodox Church
    THE HOLY APOSTLES SILAS (SILVANUS), CRESCENS, EPENETOS, & ANDRONIKOS OF THE 70 ST. MATTHEW THE EVANGELIST In addition to the inner circle of 12, Christ had an outer circle of 70 more Apostles, 4 of whom are commemorated today---all 4 worked with St. Paul. St. Silas (also called Silvanus) ANTIOCHIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH traveled on missionary journeys with Sts. Paul & Barnabas, as recounted in the book of Acts. 10383 Albion Road, North Royalton, OH 44133-1408 Later in life, he was bishop of Corinth, Greece. St Crescens (mentioned in II Timothy 4: 10) traveled some with Paul and ended up preaching in Galatia when Paul went on his final trip to Rome. St. Epenetos, (mentioned in Romans 16:5), was one of St. Paul’s first converts in Asia Minor. He later became bishop of Carthage in Africa. St. Andronikus is mentioned by Paul in Romans 16:7 and called Paul’s “kinsman”. Some think Paul meant to say he was Jewish as was Paul. Some think he was related to Paul. Paul says that Andronikus became a Christian before he himself did. It is said that in the later part of his life he did missionary work in Central Europe, where the Czech Republic is today. We commemorate these 4 Saints all together each year on July 30. SERMON COPIES from the last couple of Sundays are usually available on the long table in narthex near coat rack. ZOE for Life!!

  • Apostle Apollos? Andrew Wilson*
    JETS 56/2 (2013) 325–35 APOSTLE APOLLOS? ANDREW WILSON* Did Paul see Apollos as a fellow apostle in 1 Corinthians? Surprisingly, this question has not received a full-length scholarly treatment, despite its relatively significant implications for our understanding of the apostolate. Amongst com- mentators on 1 Corinthians, it is frequently argued or assumed that he did, as we shall see, based on the flow and logic of chapters 1–4. Many evangelicals, on the other hand, have reasoned that since Apollos had not seen the risen Christ, and since Paul believed that an essential qualification for apostleship was to have seen the risen Christ, Paul could not have regarded Apollos as an apostle.1 Under the surface of this discussion is another concern for conservative scholars: if someone who had not seen the risen Christ could be termed an apostle by Paul, then what implications would that have for the completion of the aposto- late, and thereby the completion of the canon of Scripture? Would more apostles be possible after the first generation had died out? More books of the Bible, even? One unfortunate consequence of this is that Paul’s argument in 1 Corinthians 1–4, which has nothing to do with the canon of Scripture, has not always been read on its own terms, particularly with reference to the position of Apollos. In this paper, we will review the main interpretive approaches, and then attempt to answer the question through a careful study of the evidence in 1 Corinthians. We will close by suggesting some possible implications.
