EVANGELISM 101: Lesson 1 - Biblical Foundations of EvangelismFrancis Hernandez
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.

EVANGELISM 101: Lesson 2 - Preparing for EvangelismFrancis Hernandez
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 12 of EVANGELISM 101 Series. Given last April 24, 2021 at HOPE Christian Fellowship in Guinobatan, Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines by Ptr. Francis S. Hernandez.
"Go boldly forth!" (EG261) says Pope Francis, and we can do this in our parish community - but where do we start? The power of taking action in our local community to reach out to meet those who are poor, vulnerable and oppressed and discover Christ in them is an inspiring for every person who experiences this. Jesus Christ and Pope Francis inspire us with examples of being "border-crossers" of going to 'the margins' of society and loving those we meet. We can follow their example, and doing so as a parish community is a transformational experience of God's evangelising love for the world. In this workshop you will explore how to engage with your local community, the practical steps of beginning a local outreach program and gain an understanding how your Catholic parishioners can grow in their faith through taking action in your community with people and families who are in need of support.

Those with spiritual discernment are able to see God in the small. God plus something small = more than enough! Begin by making room in your life for God in some small way. "Small things done with great love will change the world"
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.
The first example of idolatry in the Bible was in Exodus 32 - The Golden Calf story. What can we take from this to help us better understand and confront our own spiritual anxieties?
Overview of the distinctiveness of the Roman Catholic tradition.
Discussion of Jesus of Nazareth in his historical context as well as the central claims that the New Testament makes about him.
Survey of early Christian beliefs about Jesus that would eventually lead to the development of the doctrine of the Trinity.
Jesus noted that the Old Testament contained "things concerning Himself". Part one of this study uncovers the Gospel narrative pattern within the Old Testament.
"Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures." Luke 24:27

Holy Choices - Introduction to Ignatian Decision-MakinigBill Faris
Bill Faris guides us into the fundamental concepts and practices of discerning God's plans and making decisions as informed by the teaching of Ignatius Loyola.
A brief examination of the concept of practicing rest, observing a sabbath, and setting apart a "temple in time" the imitates God's rhythm of rest in creation.
This time the focus is on the rest that comes from our surrender to God's rule and reign. It is a taste of the future when the Lord's authority will be comprehensive and all creation will be at rest.
Mark depicts both Jesus and John the Baptist in their prophetic roles as those who disrupt and challenge the status quo. God is breaking in! His rule changes things. Mark shows us the impact of God's claims on the powerful and the weak.
In this chapter we have three "hopeless" cases who, in different ways, encounter the hope of Jesus Christ. Their lives are changed forever - 'cause that's what Jesus does in bringing hope to the hopeless.
Jesus' parables of seed and sower remind us that we are responsible to develop spiritual maturity in our lives by responding to His word. No church or other person can do this for us.
What is the greatest miracle you have ever witnessed? There is not greater miracle than a change of heart and soul. Even the Believer must remain open and committed to "contining conversion". Zacchaeus reminds us of what conversion looks like - a total change in "operating system".
A meditation on the realities of God's favor toward us as a people, His destiny for us as individuals and a people, and His residency in us as His friends.

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.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docx
Introduction to Mark
1.
2. THE GOSPEL OF MARK – “GOOD NEWS”
The beginning of the good news about Jesus the
Messiah, the Son of God… (Mark 1: 1)
Mark’s Gospel is the earliest of the Gospels. Probably about 70 A.D.
Point-of-View = a gentile (non-Jewish) audience in mind. It is believed to
have been written to edify believers more than to convince
unbelievers.
Early church met in homes, etc. Mark is a “grassroots” gospel as
contrasted to John which has a more philosophical flavor. Written
during the time of Nero’s rabid persecution of Christians.
3. THEMES
The themes of Mark’s “Good News” about Jesus:
• Jesus as Jewish Messiah (stated, not argued, right away)
• Jesus in action (no genealogy or birth story – starts at John the Baptist
• It’s time! God is intervening in current events in Israel!
• Jesus, the Miracle Worker
• The struggle of the disciples to grasp Jesus’ message and other
evidences of their human foibles
• Jesus is rejected by the Jews and crucified by the Romans
• The tomb is empty
• The Great Commission
4. JESUS AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD
The “Day of the Lord” as described by the inspired
prophets:
• God will break in and impose His rule (Kingdom,
Authority)
• Miracles (“signs and wonders”) will take place as
evidence this is taking place
• The enemies of God (both demonic and human) will be
subsumed, displaced, and judged
• This will be spearheaded by the arrival of the Messiah
- “Suffering Servant” (Isaiah)
- Lord of All
5. GOOD NEWS!
1. The “Good News of the Kingdom” compared to the “Good
News of Eternal Salvation”
- There is crossover
- One emphasizes eternity, the other God’s power breaking
into the Now.
- The miracle of New Birth compared to the Signs and
Wonders of the Kingdom
- The emphasis on our triumphant Messianic Deliverer
versus our Savior from hell and heavenly destination
