This document discusses how God's church is built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. It grows into a holy temple as believers are built together in the Spirit. The document also discusses appointing elders in churches and dealing with problems or false teachings through appointing qualified men. Finally, it discusses promoting unity in the body of Christ and networking between churches.
The church community is a unit of people who have come together because they are aligned in faith and purpose. Three important descriptors of any true church community should be: unity, fellowship and power. These defined the early community of believers.

Feast of the Priesthood of Our Lord Jesus Christ
The Eudists and Sulpicians, however, did have a complete Mass and Office composed by Saint Jean Eudes in 1652 for the Feast of the Priesthood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, kept on 13 November 1653 for the first time in the seminary of Coutances. The Eudists abandoned the Feast of the Priesthood toward the middle of the 19th century. The Priests of Saint-Sulpice kept it until the liturgical reforms of Pope Pius X.

A digitális kompetencia kognitív dimenziója és összefüggései onk2015Szilvia Tóth-Mózer
A digitális bennszülöttek mítoszának megteremtésével és a laikus közbeszédben való elterjedésével párhuzamosan egyre több felől fogalmazódnak meg a 21. századi tanulóval kapcsolatos konkrét elvárások. Ezek között hangsúlyos a digitális kompetencia megléte is, amelyet a szerzők számos módon közelítenek meg és különböző részterületre bontanak (Calvani, Cartelli, Fini és Ranieri, 2008, Erstad, 2010, Pegrum, 2011, Area és Pessoa, 2012, Ng, 2012, Hinrichsen és Coombs, 2013). A digitális kompetencia mérésének alapját azok a jól körülírt kompetenciák és készségek adják, amelyekről nemcsak szakirodalomi összefoglalókban olvashatunk, hanem a munkaerő-piaci elvárásokat tükröző dokumentumokban is.
Az előadásban ismertetett kutatás célja a középiskolás tanulók internethasználattal kapcsolatos ismereteinek, forráskeresési és -értékelési stratégiáinak, valamint a digitális kompetencia kognitív dimenzió összefüggésrendszerének megismerése. A kutatásban 2014 őszi félévében 14 középiskola 38 osztálya vett részt összesen 1037 tanulóval.
A digitális kompetenciát mérő teszthez Calvani és munkatársai (2008) Instant DCA (Digital Competence Assessment) tesztjéből adaptáltuk a kognitív dimenzióban mérő feladatokat, Eszter Hargittai (2009) fogalomgyűjteményéből vettünk át néhány fogalmat, a PISA 2012-es matematikai tesztfüzetéből választottunk egyet (OECD, 2012), illetve néhány saját kérdést is alkalmaztunk. A mérőeszköz 16 féle feladatba sűrített itemeit reliabilitás-vizsgálatnak vetettük alá, a Cronbach-alpha értéke megfelelőnek bizonyult (0,712).
A kutatás rávilágított, hogy a tanulók forráskeresési és –értékelési stratégiáinak fejlesztése terén még sok teendő van. A varianciaanalízisek eredményeképpen megállapíthatjuk, hogy a szülők iskolai végzettsége a digitáliskompetencia-pontszámból 4%-os hányadot magyaráz meg, ahogyan a tanuló előző évi bizonyítványátlaga is. Az osztály mint független változó esetében volt a legmagasabb a megmagyarázott variancia (36%), azaz hogy a tanulók melyik osztálynak, tanulóközösségnek a tagjai. A digitáliskompetencia-pontszám összefüggést mutatott az iskolai Országos Kompetenciamérésnek a matematikai (r=0,53, p=0,01) és a szövegértés-eredményeivel is (r=0,535, p=0,01). A digitális kompetencia nem függött össze az életkorral, a heti informatikaórák számával, a naponta aktívan internetezéssel, tanulással vagy olvasással töltött órák számával sem (p>0,05).
A digitális tanulói jellemzők és a hatékony tanulási szokások (Prensky, 2001, Jukes és Dosaj, 2006 nyomán Thompson, 2012) felmérése alapján elkülönített klaszterek (hatékony alkalmazók, közömbösek, eredményorientáltak) a digitáliskompetencia-teszten nyújtott teljesítményükben csak néhány feladat esetében különböznek szignifikánsan. A hagyományosabb tanulási preferenciájú tanulók sem feltétlenül maradnak el a digitális világ kihívást jelentő feladataiban. A digitális kompetencia sem nem veleszületett, sem nem spontán fejlődő, de hozzáértő pedagógusok munkája nyomán fejleszthető.

Reading the letters of the New Testament (including 1 Peter), we notice how widespread the Christian faith had already become just 20-30 years after the death of Jesus. How did that happen?
A simple introductory course on Church Planting. The majority of the course notes presented here are based upon J. D. Payne's Planting Apostolic Churches
The Church of Jesus Christ - Chapter 1 - The State of The Church Joseph Asoh
The Church belongs to Jesus Christ. The Church is the assembly of the Saints of God. The Saints are those persons that have been redeemed by Jesus Christ by way of repentance from all sins, acknowledgement of Jesus Christ as Lord as saviour of their lives, commitment to follow and obey all of Christ’s commands, received the Holy Spirit as witness in their hearts and invisible guide to their daily lives. Church The word translated "church" in the English Bible is ekklesia. This word is the Greek words kaleo (to call), with the prefix ek (out). Thus, the word means "the called out ones." However, the English word "church" does not come from ekklesia but from the word kuriakon, which means "dedicated to the Lord." . The Church of Jesus Christ therefore means the Called Out Ones Dedicated To The Lord Jesus Christ As His Assembly (or Embassy) On Earth.
What two major effects did the preaching of the Gospel have? (1-7) Why does preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ and His resurrection offend many people, and engender persecution? Should opposition or persecution discourage us from fulfilling the great commission, “to make disciples”? What encouraged Paul to pray for the crippled man? (9) Why aren’t miracles such as the healing of the crippled man characteristic in today’s churches? What was the outcome of the crippled man’s healing? (11-18) Why was Paul stoned at Lystra? (19) How did Paul survive the stoning? (19-20) What does the stoning of Paul (19) remind you of? Did the persecution dampen Paul's zeal for preaching the gospel? (21-28) Why do you think this was so? Describe the Pauline strategy of evangelization and establishing local churches. Compare what you observe of Paul’s strategy with what characterizes most modern missions. Why do you think most mission boards and agencies do not follow the model found in Acts?
In this message we highlight the power of collective faith or agreement in faith. Among other things, our collective faith is a solid front, an impregnable wall of defense against enemy intrusion.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
3. Eph 2 : 19 – 22
19 Now, therefore, you are no
longer strangers and foreigners,
but fellow citizens with the
saints and members of the
household of God, 20 having been
built on the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, Jesus
Christ Himself being the chief
cornerstone, 21 in whom the
whole building, being fitted
together, grows into a holy
temple in the Lord, 22 in whom
you also are being built together
for a dwelling place of God in the
Spirit.
4. Rom 15 : 20
20 And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel,
not where Christ was named, lest I should build
on another man’s foundation,
5.
6. Acts 14 : 21 – 23
21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made
many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to
continue in the faith, and saying, “We must through many
tribulations enter the kingdom of God.”
23 So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed
with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they
had believed.
7. 4. Deal with specific
problems and false
teachings or sins
Acts 6 : 1 – 3
Now in those days, when the number
of the disciples was multiplying,
there arose a complaint against
the Hebrews by the Hellenists,
because their widows were
neglected in the daily distribution.
2 Then the twelve summoned the
multitude of the disciples and said,
“It is not desirable that we should
leave the word of God and serve
tables. 3 Therefore, brethren, seek
out from among you seven men of
good reputation, full of the Holy
Spirit and wisdom, whom we may
appoint over this business;
9. And with great power the apostles gave witness to the
resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon
them all.
Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with
all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds.
