1 general introduction to the new testament
The document discusses the language and genres of literature found in the New Testament. It was written primarily in Koine Greek between 50-120 CE. There are four main genres: Gospels which tell the story of Jesus' life, ministry, death, and resurrection with an emphasis on his passion; Acts which continues the story of early Christianity; Letters/Epistles attributed to Paul and other early church leaders; and Revelation which is an apocalyptic text featuring visions of heaven and earth. While each genre focuses on different aspects, they are all theological in nature and aim to convey the religious significance of Jesus.
Introduction to Survey of the New Testament
The document provides an introduction to studying the New Testament. It notes that the NT is a collection of 27 books that cover about 100 years, fulfilling Messianic prophecy and culminating in Jesus Christ's redemption of humanity. The NT is characterized as a New Covenant between God and humans, replacing the provisional sacrifices of the Old Testament with Christ's ultimate sacrifice. Authorship of the NT books is traditionally attributed to apostles and their associates who were eyewitnesses of Jesus.
The letter to Philemon - Part 1
Paul writes a letter to Philemon asking him to welcome back Onesimus, a runaway slave. In 3 sentences: Paul commends Philemon for his faith and love, and asks him to receive Onesimus back not as a slave but as a beloved brother, for Paul had led Onesimus to faith during his imprisonment. Paul appeals to Philemon on various grounds, including their friendship and Philemon's reputation for good works.
You are the temple of God
The document compares humans to the temple of God, with three parts:
1) The body is like the outer court, visible to all and where obedience occurs
2) The soul is like the Holy Place, where inward worship and offerings happen
3) The spirit is like the Holy of Holies, God's deepest habitation entered by faith
It says humans should separate themselves from unbelievers as God dwells within believers, and that all believers together form a spiritual temple with Jesus as the cornerstone.
New Testament Survey no.5: Mark - His Gospel Account
As part of the Course on the New Testament, Session 5 provides an overview of the writing of Mark - His Gospel on the life of Christ. (This is part of the New Testament Survey Course taught at Harare Theological College - 2016)
Journey Through the Bible: Mark's Gospel
Mark's gospel was written under the shadow of persecution. It is filled with action and only a small amount of teaching. It shows Jesus suffered and was victorious.
Bible survey
The book of Job records the story of Job, a righteous man who endured great suffering and loss. His three friends attempt to explain his situation, claiming it must be due to hidden sin. God later appears to Job and his friends, reminding them that God is sovereign and they cannot fully understand his purposes. The book encourages persevering in faith even during difficult times of suffering.

EVANGELISM 101: Lesson 1 - Biblical Foundations of Evangelism
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” (Romans 10:13-15)
"It (Evangelism) comes from the same Greek word for gospel (euangelion) and means, literally, “gospeling.” When we evangelize we are “gospeling” — we are spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ." - https://www.ligonier.org/learn/devotionals/what-evangelism/
Every Christian is called to do the divine task of evangelism. Evangelism is a task not just for the select churches, or for the evangelists or pastors. This is Lesson 1 of EVANGELISM 101 Series. Given last April 23, 2021 at HOPE Christian Fellowship in Guinobatan, Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines by Ptr. Francis S. Hernandez.

The Book Of Ephesians: Because You Are Saints, Live In The Kingdom
The Book Of Ephesians
Because You Are Saints, Live In The Kingdom
Paul, an apostle of Christ, speaks several excellent things in this book to the Ephesians. One of the striking things that he says is “Because of His love”.
There are several “because of” statements in this book, which led me to this “Because You Are Saints”. That means to me that “Because we are saints”, we should act in certain ways within The Kingdom of God.
Thus, “Because You Are Saints, Live In The Kingdom”. Because we are saints, things are expected from us such that we can live in the realm of The Kingdom of God, live in the realm of the supernatural.
That is a true blessing. This is only a brief statement about which there is surely an excellent message to be developed. I hope I can do that soon.
Ephesians 1:5
Because of His love
God had already decided that
through Jesus Christ
He would make us
His children—
this was His pleasure and purpose.

Resources for curriculums and counseling are provided.
Exploring Paul's Letter to the Ephesians - Chapters III and IV
The document provides a summary of chapters 3 and 4 of Paul's letter to the Ephesians. It discusses Paul being a prisoner of Christ for preaching the gospel to Gentiles, his humility as the least of all saints, his prayers for the Ephesians regarding the breadth, length, depth and height of God's grace, and the unity, ministry gifts, and growth of the church body. It also contrasts the lives of sinners and saints, emphasizes speaking the truth, righteous anger, and avoiding grieving the Holy Spirit.
Marriage, career & ministry
The document discusses how purpose precedes and gives meaning to marriage, career, and ministry. It argues that fulfilling one's God-given purpose through the right platforms is key. Examples are given of biblical figures like Peter, Elisha, and Joseph who found fulfillment by discerning their purpose and aligning their platforms accordingly. The speaker outlines factors to consider when choosing a career path, emphasizing personal discovery of one's dreams, gifts, passions, and personality rather than simply pursuing jobs or transitioning frequently. Fulfilling purpose through the platforms of marriage, career, and ministry is presented as the path to real living.

The Apostles' Teaching | 8 November 2015 | Neil Bester
The document discusses four foundational aspects of the early Christian church: the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. It describes how the early Christians devoted themselves single-mindedly to learning the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. This included what was taught in the Old Testament, who Jesus was, and what he taught. Their devotion to the apostles' teaching bore fruit by making the church learning, fellowshipping, worshipping, praying, sharing, joyful, witnessing, and filled with God's power.
Restoration then now1
The document discusses the Restoration Movement that began in the late 18th century in America as preachers sought to abandon creeds and doctrines of men and return solely to the teachings of the Bible. It summarizes that the Movement has restored rejecting creeds, New Testament worship practices, doctrine, church organization without hierarchy, and God's plan of salvation. However, it notes there is still restoration work to be done and questions if readers have fully been restored to the early church model.
01 3 reform
This document discusses the Reformation period in Christianity between 500-1500 AD. It provides background that during this time all Christians were Catholic, led by the Pope and bishops. The priests sold indulgences claiming they could reduce time in purgatory. Martin Luther protested the Catholic Church's corruption in 1517, sparking the Protestant reformation. Luther and other reformers disagreed with practices like selling indulgences and wanted people to be able to read the Bible in their own language. The document examines key figures and events of the Reformation like Martin Luther, his 95 Theses, and the new Protestant churches that formed.
Martin Luther Educational Giant
Martin Luther was a German monk who helped start the Protestant Reformation. He was born in 1483 and grew up in Germany. As a young man he became a lawyer but later joined the church. He is known for nailing his 95 Theses to a church door criticizing the Catholic Church. Luther made important contributions to education by writing that children should receive a religious education and that the goal of education is to help people live godly lives. His writings laid the foundation for today's education system by establishing curriculum, the role of teachers, and the relationship between church and state in schooling.
World History Ch. 13 Section 5 Notes
The document discusses the growth of power of the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages in Europe. It describes how various reforms strengthened the papacy's authority, such as Pope Leo IX's efforts in the 11th century to eliminate corruption among clergy. This brought the papacy into conflict with political rulers over the appointment of bishops. A key event was the dispute between Pope Gregory VII and Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV, where the pope excommunicated the emperor, asserting the church's independence. Monasticism also saw changes as new orders like the Cistercians embraced more austere lifestyles.

Avenues like visual tools, handouts, teacher contacts and completing the class are suggested to help students gain a basic understanding of the Bible.
Catholicism isn't bible based-Yes it is!
The document addresses a friend's claim that the Catholic Church is not Biblically based because it creates new rituals and beliefs over time. It argues that all churches change over time, and that the Catholic Church is more Biblically based than Protestant faiths because it had the settled canon of scripture first. It also argues that traditions mentioned in the Bible by Paul provide authority for new rituals, and that the Catholic Church's practices can be traced to the earliest Christian communities and apostles like Peter.

"Encountering Christ" Part 2: St. Monica Pentecost Sunday Presentation.
The discernment team recommends that Saint Monica Parish focus on helping parishioners encounter Christ through service, scripture study, and full participation in liturgy. They suggest developing a discipleship pathway with programs at different levels of commitment. The goals are to serve the community, foster intergenerational involvement, and build upon the parish's legacy of faith. Parishioners are called to find their own role in this evangelizing mission.
The Role of the Medieval Church
The Catholic Church played a central role in medieval European society. It provided religious services and sacraments, operated monasteries and universities, and was closely tied to political systems as many church officials also held government roles. The Pope headed the church hierarchy and claimed authority over all kings and emperors. This gave the Church tremendous power in the Middle Ages as it was the most powerful institution. However, as monarchies grew stronger they began contesting the Church's authority, leading to tensions over who had supremacy in religious and political matters - the Pope or secular rulers. This caused conflicts between the Catholic Church and monarchies throughout the medieval period.
Church history renaissance
The document summarizes major periods and events in the history of the Christian church from approximately 30 AD to the present:
- The Early Church from 30-500 AD, the Medieval Church from 1000-1500 AD including the Renaissance, the Reformation from 1500-1700 which saw divisions into Protestant denominations, and the Modern Church from 1900 to present.
- The Renaissance sparked new interest in ancient cultures and learning. The Reformation began due to calls for reform and was led by figures like Luther and Calvin, dividing Western Christianity.
- The Counter Reformation and Jesuits defended Catholicism and renewed the church in response to the Protestant movement. Exploration and colonization spread Christianity worldwide but also had negative impacts on

10 mcmh reformation
Martin Luther, a German monk and professor, sparked the Protestant Reformation in 1517 by nailing his 95 Theses criticizing Catholic Church practices like indulgences to a church door. When reforms did not come and Luther was excommunicated, religious dissent and wars erupted across Europe for over 200 years. The Reformation challenged Catholic Church authority and asserted individual conscience, laying the foundation for modern individualism. It resulted in new Protestant denominations like Lutheran and Calvinist churches and permanently established Protestantism in Europe, though only after decades of violent rebellion and war.

Paul.lesson.11.political.groups.part.2
This document summarizes several Second Temple period religio-political groups in Jerusalem, including the Sadducees. The Sadducees derived their name from Zadok, the high priest of David and Solomon. They reacted against the Seleucid "Pig Sacrifice" in the 2nd century BC. The Sadducees opposed the Maccabean high priests but later collaborated with the Hasmoneans and Herodians to regain the high priestly office. They were a very conservative group who denied supernatural concepts like the soul, resurrection, and angels. They lost power when the Temple was destroyed.

This document discusses several religio-political groups in Second Temple Judaism, including the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, Herodians, Zealots, and Sicarii. It focuses on the Pharisees and Scribes, explaining that the Pharisees followed both the written and oral law, which they believed was given by God to Moses, while the Sadducees did not accept the oral law. Over time, the Pharisees prevailed while the Sadducees lost influence after the destruction of the temple. The Scribes originally copied and interpreted the written law but their interpretations began advancing social purposes and losing the meaning of the law, drawing criticism in the
Paul.lesson 10.11.12.political groups.second temple judaism
This document discusses several Second Temple Jewish groups that were influential during Paul's time, including the Pharisees. It provides details on the Pharisees' beliefs and how they differed from the Sadducees. The Pharisees believed in oral tradition alongside the written Torah and took a more flexible approach to interpreting Jewish law for new situations. After the Temple's destruction, the Pharisees' interpretation became the dominant form of Judaism due to their focus on synagogue worship and scholarship.
Paul.lesson.9.second.temple.judaism
The document summarizes the Intertestamental Period between the Old and New Testaments. During this time, Israel was ruled by various foreign empires including the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans.

Messianic thought and beliefs about a coming savior also emerged during this period as Israel faced oppression from foreign rulers until the arrival of Jesus.
Paul.lesson 9.second temple judaism
This document provides an overview of major historical upheavals and religious changes in Judaism between the construction of the second Jewish temple in Jerusalem circa 515 BC and its destruction by the Romans in AD 70, known as the Second Temple period.

Paul.lesson.8.interim.summary
This document summarizes Saul's transformation from a persecutor of Christians to the Apostle Paul through three key events. First, Saul encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus and went blind before receiving a vision that converted him. Second, he spent time in Arabia and Damascus, where he was taught by Ananias and joined the Antiochian and Damascene churches. Finally, Saul began preaching as Paul and traveled over 35,000 miles spreading the gospel message to the Gentiles throughout the Roman Empire. The document examines the historical influences that shaped Paul, including his Jewish background, Roman citizenship, Hellenistic education in Tarsus, and the Stoic philosophy of Zeno.
Paul.lesson.7.pauls.day
The document discusses Judaism during the time of Paul, including the Hellenistic period and various Jewish sects. During the Hellenistic period, some Jews embraced Greek culture while others wanted to preserve a pure form of Judaism. This caused divisions between Hellenizers and Judaizers. There were also divisions between urban and rural Jews, as well as Jews living in Judea versus the diaspora. The major sects during Paul's time were the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, and Zealots. The Essenes lived an ascetic lifestyle and copied scriptures.
Paul.lesson.7.rome.greek
The document provides a timeline of Roman history from 753 BC to AD 67 and discusses the influences of Greek philosophy and religion on early Christianity. It summarizes the teachings of major Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle and how their ideas relate to and sometimes differ from Christianity.

Paul.lesson.6.post.exilic.teacher
1. This document discusses the development of Judaism after the Babylonian exile, known as the Second Temple period, covering the Persian, Hellenistic, and Hasmonean periods until the destruction of the temple in AD 70.
2. It focuses on how Cyrus the Great allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple, establishing the Jews as a vassal state of the Persian Empire. Reconstruction of the temple continued under difficulties until its completion in 516 BC under Darius I.
3. An important development was the emergence of Jewish exclusivity and identity as a distinct people separate from others, originating with those who returned from exile and rebuilt the temple and society in Jerusalem.
Paul.lesson.5.babylonian.captivity.teacher
The document provides historical context on Judaism during the time of Paul by discussing the Babylonian captivity and its impact on the development of Second Temple Judaism. Key points include:
- The Babylonian captivity from 605-538 BC disrupted Jewish life and caused them to reevaluate their relationship with God, leading to changes in Jewish theology and culture.
- It contributed to Judaism transitioning from a polytheistic to monotheistic religion and elevated the importance of the Torah.
- After the Persian conquest of Babylon in 538 BC, many Jews returned to Jerusalem and rebuilt the Second Temple, establishing synagogues as religious centers in the absence of the temple.
Paul.lesson.5.babylonian.captivity
The document discusses the Babylonian Captivity of the Jewish people and its effects on Judaism. It describes how the Jews were deported to Babylon in three separate events between 605-581 BC. While in exile, the Jews' central religious practices transformed with the Torah becoming the authoritative text and focus on monotheistic worship of YHWH. After the exile ended and they returned to Judea, the Jews emerged as an ethno-religious group defined by their scriptures and traditions rather than territorial gods. The synagogue model of worship that developed during this period also went on to influence the early Christian church.
Paul.lesson.4.greek.part.2
This document discusses the influence of ancient Greek philosophy on Western thought, focusing on several key philosophers and schools of thought. It introduces Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, and examines Epicureanism and Stoicism in more depth.

Overall the document analyzes the development of Greek philosophy and its legacy.
Paul.lesson.4.greek.part.2
The document discusses the influence of ancient Greek philosophy on Western thought, focusing on several key philosophers and schools of thought. It introduces Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, and examines Epicureanism and Stoicism in more depth. Stoicism in particular had a major influence on early Christianity and the writings of Paul.

As chief sanitary officer for projects in Florida, Havana, and the Panama Canal, Gorgas implemented extensive sanitation programs including draining ponds and swamps and using mosquito netting. These measures were crucial in enabling the construction of the Panama Canal by preventing illness among thousands of workers. Gorgas received international acclaim for his contributions and an honorary knighthood shortly before his death in 1920.
Police.power
1. The document discusses the historical doctrine of state "police power" which allows states to pass laws and regulations to protect public health, such as quarantine laws. However, limitations have been placed on police power since the 1960s due to a reexamination of the balance between individual rights and state power.
2. It provides context on how police power has traditionally been interpreted to promote public health and safety. However, developments in civil rights jurisprudence, a focus on patient autonomy, and increased federal authority have constrained states' ability to exercise police powers.
3. Given new public health threats like bioterrorism, the author argues for a reassessment of the legal and social limits of police power to allow
Dr.snows.pump
Dr. John Snow used epidemiological research methods in 1854 to trace the source of a deadly cholera outbreak in London to a contaminated water pump on Broad Street. By tracking cases of cholera and investigating water sources for the sick and healthy, Snow determined that those who drank from the Broad Street pump were infected, while others who drank from other sources were fine. Snow convinced officials to remove the pump handle, stopping the outbreak. Years later, it was discovered that a nearby cesspool leaking into the pump's water supply was likely the original source of contamination. Snow is now considered the pioneer of epidemiology and his work proved contaminated water was the cause of cholera rather than miasma.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
