Revelation 2:1-7 Ephesus-Learning to Love Again (Lewis Winkler)Dr. Rick Griffith
Paul encouraged the Ephesians to love in unity, but unfortunately that love waned in the 30 years following. How can we rekindle our love for Christ and each other? Jesus tells us in this important letter from Christ himself.
The attached Power Point and notes are for a class taught April and May, 2011 by Dr. John Oakes and Robert Carrillo in San Diego, CA. The audio is also available in the EFC store.
Not just anyone qualifies to judge the world. For one, you have to be Creator. Secondly, you need to have given the world the chance to be saved. Jesus did both, so he will be worthy to break the seals on the scroll to unleash God's judgment. Listen to the audio of this message at http://cicfamily.com/sermon-listing/?tag=Revelation+of+John.
Weekend Course - How to Effectively Build and Lead cell GroupsClive Ashby
This weekend course went beyond action points, to the deeper foundations needed for community, mutual support, worship, giving, sharing, prayer and interactive Bible study. Practical Guidance on how these foundations can be applied and used were discussed in detail. This foundational teaching applies to youth groups, cell groups, LIFE groups, women's groups, men's groups, in fact any form of Christian community coming together weekly to share and grow in Christ. (taught are Harare Theological College).
Dr. John Oakes gave a presentation in both Manchester and Edinburgh June, 2014 on the role of freedom in the Christian life as well as on a healthy role of membership in the Christian church. He will be publishing a book on this topic titled “Golden Rule Membership” from IP Books in just a couple of weeks.
Let's look today at the attitude of Christ toward sin in three ways:
Toward sin which has separated man from God.
Toward sin which will result in eternal damnation.
And toward sin which nailed Christ to the cross.
Many, when trying to understand Christ tend to look only at His life on this earth.
However, to truly understand the attitude of Christ one must go back much farther.
Christ, as Deity, is eternal.

Dr. Robert Kurka gave a class at the 2015 ICEC designed to help us gain perspective on how to deal with a world in which there is a plurality of religions. He argues that we should strongly approach the philosophy of religious pluralism (no religion has absolute truth) but that we should not be overly discouraged to live in a society in which many religions exist. This has been normal in much of Christian history and we should think of it as an opportunity, not a disaster. How, then, should we behave in a world in which we cannot assume that the Christian Worldview is not the predominant one? We should be respectful, find common ground, and present with boldness the distinctiveness and advantage of the Christian explanation. The audio will be available in about a week at www.ipibooks.com. I am attaching the power point for the presentation.

Living as a Christian in a Secular World Acts 17:16-34 Adapted from a Dr. Calvin Wittman sermon http://www.lifeway.com/Article/Sermon-Sharing%20Christ-with-a-christless-culture-Acts-17
What is the difference between a group of Christians doing ministry and a ministry team? Have you ever been a part of a ministry team? Describe your experience. How did Paul establish more than a dozen local churches in ten years? Explain your answer. Who accompanied him during each of his three missionary journeys? What is essential for an effective ministry team? (Acts 13:2-3; 14:23; 1 Cor. 3:7-9) What requirements, do you think, are necessary to be an effective ministry team member? (Ex. 18:13-27; Phil. 2:1-11; 2 Tim. 2:2; 1 Thess. 5:12)

• What is the
fi
lmmaker saying to a Western audience?
• What can we a

fi
lmmaker’s message?
• What might we disagree with from a Biblical perspective?
7. Original cultural context of Gospels
• Jesus’ name was Yeshua
• Preached in Israel
• Preached in Hebrew & Aramaic
• Preached in the synagogues
• Proclaimed himself as Messiah of Israel
• Venues were Jewish festivals like Passover
• Parables used Jewish images
9. Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and
Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a
synagogue of the Jews. And Paul went in, as was his
custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with
them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that it
was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the
dead, and saying, “This Yeshua, whom I proclaim to you,
is the Messiah.”
(Acts 17:1–3 ESV)
10. Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas,
as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of
the leading women. But the Jews were jealous, and taking
some wicked men of the rabble, they formed a mob, set
the city in an uproar, and attacked the house of Jason,
seeking to bring them out to the crowd.
(Acts 17:4–5 ESV)
13. What was specific to Jewish culture?
Acts 17:1-5
•Venue was a synagogue
•Occasion was the Shabbat Derash (sermon)
•Presented Jesus as the Messiah
•Appealed to Old Testament to texts
•Used to Hebrew critical reasoning
16. While Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was
provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of
idols. So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and
the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with
those who happened to be there. Some of the Epicurean
and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. And
some said, “What does this babbler wish to say?” Others
said, “He seems to be a preacher of foreign divinities”—
because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.
(Acts 17:16–18 ESV)
17. They took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying,
“May we know what this new teaching is that you are
presenting? For you bring some strange things to our ears.
We wish to know therefore what these things mean.” Now
all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there would
spend their time in nothing except telling or hearing
something new.
(Acts 17:19–21 ESV)
18. Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: “Men of
Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious.
For as I passed along and observed the objects of your
worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘To the
unknown god.’ What therefore you worship as unknown,
this I proclaim to you.
(Acts 17:22–23 ESV)
19. The God who made the world and everything in it, being
Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made
by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he
needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life
and breath and everything. And he made from one man
every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth,
having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of
their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and
perhaps feel their way toward him and find him.
(Acts 17:24–27 ESV)
20. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for “‘In him
we live and move and have our being’; as even some of
your own poets have said, “‘For we are indeed his
offspring.’ Being then God’s offspring, we ought not to
think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an
image formed by the art and imagination of man.
(Acts 17:27–30 ESV)
21. The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he
commands all people everywhere to repent, because he
has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in
righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of
this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the
dead.”
(Acts 17:30–31 ESV)
22. When they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some
mocked. But others said, “We will hear you again about
this.” So Paul went out from their midst. But some men
joined him and believed, among whom also were
Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris
and others with them. After this Paul left Athens and went
to Corinth.
(Acts 17:32–18:1 ESV)
24. What was specific to Athenian culture?
Acts 17:16-32
1. Paul found something to affirm
2. Paul found a cultural connection or bridge
3. Paul used a philosophical venue
4. Paul structured it as a philosophical treatise
5. Paul cited Greek literature
6. Paul engaged with contemporary issues (ex. Temple made by hands)
29. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews…To
those outside the law I became as one outside the law
(not being outside the law of God but under the law of
Messiah) that I might win those outside the law…I have
become all things to all people, that by all means I might
save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may
share with them in its blessings.
(1 Cor 9:20–23 ESV)
30. 1. Paul affirmed his audience
Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very
religious. For as I passed along and observed the objects
of your worship
31. 2. Paul identified a bridge to the gospel
As I passed along and observed the objects of your
worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘To the
unknown god.’ What therefore you worship as unknown,
this I proclaim to you.
32.
33. 3. Paul began with agreed beliefs
The God who made the world and everything in it, being
Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made
by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he
needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind
life and breath and everything.
34. 4. Paul made use of audience’s literature
Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for “‘In him
we live and move and have our being’; as even some of
your own poets have said, “‘For we are indeed his
offspring.’ (Acts 17:27–28 ESV)
36. 5. Paul explained ALL the gospel
He has
fi
xed a day on which he will judge the world in
righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of
this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the
dead. (Acts 17:31 ESV)
37. 6. Paul avoided things that alienate
• Paul did NOT talk about the Jewishness of Jesus
• Paul did NOT highlight his own Jewishness
• Paul did NOT insult Greek religion
38. 6. Paul avoided things that alienate
What are ways Christians offend & alienate seeker?
