Four Marks of the Church

The passage Mark 5:21-43 tells the story of faith and how two critically ill “daughters” who were beyond human help were healed by Jesus Christ (Guelich 304). The story takes place as Jesus crosses a lake into the Gentile territory. Once he arrived on land he was surrounded by people that came all over to see him. The president of the synagogue named Jarius approached him at once and pleaded “Jesus my little daughter is close to death you must come and put your hands on her so she will live”…

universal church for all of mankind. When Peter declared that Jesus is the Messiah regarding to Jesus’ questions, such as “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” and “Who do you say I am?”, Jesus assigned Simon Peter as the first Pope and Jesus formed the Catholic Church. Jesus replied; Matthew 16:17-19: “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church,…

Paschal Mystery, so we can share in Him and experience His life on earth. In addition, as a member of the Church, I am called to demonstrate in all that I do the Marks of the Church: one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. Through my service at Field Elementary, I was not only able to reflect Jesus ' life, death, and resurrection in the Kingdom that is "now," display the Mark "one" of the Church, and make a significant positive difference for the children that I served, but also gain a deeper…

Introduction The Christian Church began because people were willing to testify to what they had seen in the life and ministry of Jesus. The Gospel According to Mark bears witness to the ministry, passion and crucifixion of Christ. Interestingly, Mark is credited with creating the term “gospel,” demonstrating the mission of Jesus to preach the gospel of God. The evidence is extremely strong, based Christian testimony, that Mark is the author of this gospel. It has been assumed that the Mark who…

The four visual sources provided tell the story and development of the French Revolution. Each provides a different perspective of the French revolution as well as displaying the growing fear during this period. In the first visual called “Joyous Accord” the three estates; clergy, nobility and commoners, are interacting peacefully with each other. As the French Revolution progressed the visual images changed to fit the status of the revolution and show the effects it was having on each estate.…

On December 8th, 1980, John Winston Lennon was shot in the back four times while returning to his apartment in New York. Mark David Chapman was the man who fired these shots. Mark David Chapman was charged with manslaughter but pleaded insanity and got away with it. I believe he knew what he was doing and totally understood the consequences, but played off as he didn’t. I also believe he should’ve been charged with life in prison rather than having his own private prison home. John Lennon was an…

is based on the discussion questions at the end of every chapter in the book, The Externally Focused Church. This evaluation will address each chapter and how successful Cherry Street Baptist Church is at being externally focused. The first chapter seeks to explain what an externally focused church looks like but before it does it speaks of the internally focused church. An internally focus church is one that spend a lot of time, energy, and money on loving God but forget about loving man.…

will come their way. The main command of this book was to hold fast to what is good. In First Thessalonians Paul opens up Chapter four with encouraging the Christians of Thessalonica to not follow in the ways of sexual impurity and to continue to live in the ways of the Lord. Humans have always struggled with sexaul impurity and I am imagining that the early Church is no different. Paul is simply offering a word of encouragement to the his brothers and sisters to not forsake their beliefs…

The Catechism par 1212 states that Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist lay the foundations of every Christen life. This signifies how important these sacraments are to christen life. Baptism has four important symbols water, oil, candles, and a white garment. Water symbolizes life and death just as Christ died and rose from the dead. Oil symbolizes protection and strengthening and the baptized person being called to share in the kingship and priesthood…

Middle Ages. To demonstrate, I will compare the animal imagery depicted in Salonika: Hosios David: Apse Mosaic: Christ with symbols of the Evangelists Luke and Mark, c.5th A.D.

To begin, Fig.1 is Byzantine mosaic located in the apse in the Church of Hosios David, Thessaloniki, Greece 5th Cent. A.D.
