"The apostles and other teachers, gifted by the Holy Spirit with a diversity of talents, provided leadership." P.33**(the story of church book) The early Christian church had tremendous success in thier development of ministry due to the acceptance of diverse followers (men, women, children, different social…
differences between the gospel of Luke and the synoptic gospels largely derive from the role of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ life and God’s plan for the world. This idea is exemplified by significant difference between the risen Jesus remaining as a presence in the church (Mark and Mathew) and the promise of Jesus sending the Holy Spirit’s companionship (Luke [24:48]). In addition, Jesus is a spirit- an empowered servant whose work here on earth will appeal to Isaiah’s prophecies calling for…
their unity in Christ and how it will come through humility. It opens with the Apostle Paul posing questions to the members of the church at Philippi. “If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,” (Philippians 2:1). In these questions, Apostle Paul reminded the Philippians of how they were recipients of the grace of God, but he also wanted them to realize that they needed to stay unified and continue until…
eternal temple of God, a part of the great incarnation of God through the Lord Jesus Christ. The goal of our salvation is to have our body resurrected into eternal life and filled with the Presence of the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit. God is a Spirit. God chose to express Himself, to reveal Himself, in a physical form. The body of God was born through the Virgin Mary. God is now housed in flesh and bone. God is building a house for Himself of which the Lord Jesus Christ is the…

Jesus. Many in the Millenium generation would say they are boring, nothing new or out of the ordinary. According to Torrance, "Unitarian has no doctrine of the mediator or sole priesthood of Christ, is human-centered, has no proper doctrine of the Holy Spirit, is too often non-sacramental, and can engender weariness." (20) This worship is not Jesus oriented because it produces selfishness, worry, hopelessness, and unhappiness; all the opposite of Jesus character. The Bible says that Jesus…
disobedience and sin have become part of our world. In Exodus, Moses intercedes for the Israel nation, while in The New Testament, Jesus is our intercessor restoring relationship with God. Even though humanity still sins, we have Jesus and the Holy Spirit working in us and helping us daily to be more Christlike, so we may give glory to God through the way we live in the world and in community. Them In Exodus, God miraculously delivers the Ancient Israelites from Egypt and gives them a new…
believe that without the words of God in our lives we are really empty. I think it is helpful to read it and apply it in the life. The Bible is free from error in all it affirms and unfailing in its purpose. I have in my religion the Quran, which is the holy book of Islam and is viewed by Muslims as the direct word of God. The Qur’an will lead us to the Paradise. 2- Spiritual reading is an important point in the growth of virtue directing. Spirituality focuses on the existence of God in this…
Trinity in the latter half of the twentieth century has shown to be the impetus for many prominent theologians to apply this theology into all traditional loci of systematic theology. One such enrichment is the Third Article theology (because of the Holy Spirit's position in the creed), by which pneumatology assumes first place in terms of theological methodology. Standing on the shoulders of giants, such as Karl Barth or Paul Tillich, who did not have the opportunity to finish this project,…

The key people involved in the Book of Philippians was Apostle Paul, Timothy, Epaphroditus, Euodia, and Syntyone.
