  • The Twelve Apostles Lesson 8 Study Notes Philip
    f The Twelve Apostles Lesson 8 Study Notes Philip: The Apostle Who Was Slow-Witted Simon the Canaanite: The Apostle Who Was A Revolutionist Text: John 1:43-45. John 1:43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. Introduction: Philip is always listed as the fifth person in the list of the Apostles. While he may have not been as prominent as the first four men listed; nevertheless, he seems to be the head of the second grouping of the disciples. We must remember that God is of no respecter of persons so, Philip is not to be considered to be of less importance. Although Philip is mentioned in the four complete lists of the twelve (Matt. 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:14; Acts 1:13), it is interesting to observe that John is the only writer to tell us all that is to be said about Philip, yet he is the only one out of the four evangelists who does not quote the list. The first three evangelists give us his name and acquaint us with the fact that he was an apostle, but John loses sight of the dignity of the office that Philip filled and gives us a profile of the man himself with his own individualities and peculiarities.

  • Preaching the Risen Christ
    1 7861U NEW ZEALAND BIBLE CLASSES PREACHING THE RISEN CHRIST Speaker: Bro. Roger Lewis Study #2: The work of Philip continues Reading: Acts 8:14 to 25 Thank you, brother chairman, and my dear brethren and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ, and my dear young people. Well, Acts 8 then, you'll remember that last time, we looked at verses 4 to 13, and this beginning of the story of the truth being preached in Samaria; and we found, remember, that this is the second great stage of the advance of the truth, that was predicted by Christ in Acts 1 verse 8 when He said, that the apostles would be witnesses unto Him in Jerusalem , in all Judea, in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth. So Acts 8 and verses 4 to 25, or possibly 5 to 25, becomes that section of the truth going to Samaria. So the first thing is, if you haven't got that marked in you should do that now, is just have that lightly penciled out from either verse 4 or 5 (just a little pencil in the margin) and after the end of verse 25 (a little pencil in the margin, that just says that this is the beginning and end of a section which is one of the great stages of the advance of the truth marked out in Acts 1 verse 8). The truth going to Samaria which is the second great section of the advance of the truth. You'll remember that what we found interestingly enough in our study last time was that the man who becomes the champion of this work was Philip, and that the man Philip in this chapter is not Philip the apostle, but Philip the evangelist.

  • Mary and Motherhood by Lynee Zaunbrecher
    Mary and Motherhood by Lynee Zaunbrecher May is a very special month for our Blessed Mother, Mary. Not only do we celebrate Moth- er’s Day next weekend we also celebrate the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fama on May 13th. The month of May is our opportunity to honor Mary as our Blessed Mother and to honor our own mothers. Each of us has a mother. This woman may not be the one who gave us life through birth. This woman may be someone brave and selfless enough to “adopt” another as his or her own. Motherhood is the pinnacle of selfless giving. We should all take the me to say thank you to our mothers for giving us life. Say thank you to your mother for choosing to accept responsi- bility for your upbringing. Mother’s know joy and pain, suffering and sorrow. Mother’s know love beyond measure and immense pride in each accomplishment earned by their children. A mother knows love. “Do not be afraid Mary, for you have found favor with God.” Luke 1:30 Mary was born without sin and lived her life without sin. Her fiat to the Archangel Gabriel is the bravest response ever recorded in human history. She chose to be the sacred vessel for Jesus. She chose to marry a man and not have relaons with him. Mary chose to follow Jesus as he walked to his death showing all of us how to face tragedy with grace and dignity. “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Be it done unto me according to thy word.” Luke 1:38 The selfless response to Gabriel is an example for all of us on how to respond to God.

    About this book During Jesus’ ministry on earth, he amassed many followers. He chose twelve of these disciples to accompany Him, preach His word, heal the sick, and cast out demons. Of these, 11 would become church leaders after Jesus’ resurrection. One would betray Him. About the author Jeffrey Kranz creates Bible-study material at the Overview Bible Project. He’s a Christian who loves studying the Bible, and wants to show off how interesting it is. About the artist Laura Converse is a surreal artist who makes art based on the Bible, philosophy, and her own imagination.

Even when fellow apostles Matthew and John write down the story of Jesus, they give more attention to Peter than themselves. And for good reason: of all the apostles (besides maybe Judas), Peter is most involved in the grand story of Jesus. Peter rocks His original name is Simon, but Jesus give him the moniker the moment they meet. “Peter,” means “stone,” and the name sticks (Jn 1:42). PAGE 5 The name takes on a deeper meaning later in the story. When Jesus asks the disciples who they think Jesus is, only Peter speaks up: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Mt 16:16). Then Jesus makes a play on words: “You are Peter [stone], and on this rock I will build my church.” And Jesus does.

  • “The Twelve Disciples” Sermon # 7 “Philip: a Man out Of
    “The Twelve Disciples” Sermon # 7 “Philip: A Man Out of His Element” In all three biblical lists of the twelve apostles (Mt 10:1-4, Mk 3:14-19, Lk 6:12-16), Philip is the fifth on every list. This apparently signifies that Philip was the leader of the second group of four (Philip, Bartholomew (Nathanael),& Thomas). Philip is a Greek name that means “lover of horses” and although Philip is Jewish we are never given his Hebrew name. We do need to make the distinction between Philip the apostle and Philip the deacon we meet in Acts 6. Philip the deacon became an evangelist and led the Ethiopian eunuch to Christ. But Philip the apostle was a completely different individual. The apostle Philip was from Bethsaida, which was also the home of Andrew and Peter (John 1:44). Everything that we know about Philip we find in John’s gospel account. We will see from the four brief sketches of the character of Philip found in John, that he tended to be pragmatic and analytical. His Call – (John 1:43-46) We first meet Philip in John 1:43, the day after Jesus first called Andrew, John and Peter. “The following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found Philip and said to him, "Follow Me." So it can be stated that Philip was the first one whom Jesus physically sought out and the first one to whom Jesus actually said “follow me.” All the other’s who are identified in John 1 have come to Jesus either on their own accord or were brought by their friends.

    0240-0309 – Pamphilus a Caesarea – On the Acts Of Apostles [Fragments] An Exposition of the Chapters of the Acts of the Apostles this file has been downloaded from http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf06.html ANF06. Fathers of the Third Century: Gregory Thaumaturgus, Philip Schaff Dionysius the Great, Julius Africanus, Anatolius, and Minor Writers, Methodius, Arnobius authority ordained two persons in their place,1342 namely, one in prison and another in the mines. On learning these things the blessed Peter, with much endurance, wrote to the people of Alexandria an epistle in the following terms.1343 ———————————— Pamphilus. 165 ———————————— Translator’s Biographical Notice. [A.D. 309.] According to the common account Pamphilus was a native of Berytus, the modern Beirût, and a member of a distinguished Phœnician family. Leaving Berytus, however, at an early period, he repaired to Alexandria and studied under Pierius, the well-known head of the Catechetical school there. At a subsequent period he went to the Palestinian Cæsareia, and was made a presbyter of the Church there under Bishop Agapius. In course of the persecutions of Diocletian he was thrown into prison by Urbanus, the governor of Palestine. This took place towards the end of the year 307 A.D., and his confinement lasted till the beginning of the year 309, when he suffered martyrdom by order of Firmilianus, who had succeeded Urbanus in the governorship of the country. During his imprisonment he enjoyed the affectionate attendance of Eusebius, the Church historian, and the tender friendship which subsisted long between the two is well known. It was as a memorial of that intimacy that Eusebius took the surname of Pamphili.
