and commence to casting those demons out. It was a time before our store-front church preachers used the Greek and Hebrew translations or bible commentaries, but one thing was abundantly clear; they understood the power and authority in the name of Jesus to set men free.…

complexity, but this is not problem that must persist when accompanied by a clear explanation of these complex issues. The birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus altered and transformed the world by revealing the nature of God to humanity, providing a pattern for a Christian life, and by atoning for the sins of the world. Jesus and the Trinity According to…

contrast the laity’s approach to the Eucharist from the early church to the late middle ages citing Scripture, Origen and your textbook to support your answer. Eucharist in Greek means “to give thanks”. According to the synoptic gospels, this is what Jesus did when he shared the last meal with his dispels. He broke the bread and blessed the cup of wine and, giving thanks, he gave them to drink. (Mark 14:22-25). This is also what he commanded his disciples to do in memory of him (Luke 22:19).…

Christianity is founded on the belief that there is one God. They also believe there is three distinct persons: God the Father, Jesus Christ his son, and the Holy Spirit. Christianity believed God created the world in six days, resting on the seventh. Early Christians spoke Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin. The Bible is the primary sacred text. This book is made of two parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament. Although Heaven is often mentioned in the Bible, it is rarely described. The…

sections that are repeated in different places, and other times there are stories or characters that are talked about in other books. One of the best examples of this is in the Gospels. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all wrote about events in the life of Jesus. There is a lot of overlap between these books especially between…

of new community churches through the entire region were experiencing. The issues included the Jews desire to determine if Gentiles were eligible to receive salvation and if the Gentiles were supposed to abide by Jewish law once they had accepted Jesus.

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…

Divine Appointments The most humbling and awesome experiences a person can have is that of being a friend, making a friend, and introducing that friend into a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. It’s not about any ability on our part but rather our availability to God and what He wants to do. Often these Divine Appointments will happen at the most unexpected times and places. God’s time is always now, and I have been privileged to share many times over the years in these precious…

When I was younger I never understood this story of the money changers very well. I just knew Jesus had a whip, turned over tables, and was furious. This chapter revealed a deeper revelation from the text. Jack said, “he raged because the nations were being kept from His house because of the greed of those who dwelt there” (70).
