Tune and Prepare!

{from the original sermon: Tree, Tables, Temple, and Tenants} by Adam Bream, Everyday Church, London Have you ever watched events unfolding and thought, What is going on here? Maybe it was your favourite team. Maybe it was a film. Either way, you were left thinking, What are you doing? Well, we’ve reached a moment like that in our journey through Mark’s Gospel. If you’re just joining us, Mark is the Gospel written by John Mark, drawing on Peter’s eyewitness testimony to tell of the life of Jesus. It is the earliest written and shortest of the four Gospel accounts. I’m going to take us into the middle of chapter 11. they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming  kingdom of  our fathe...

  But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the Law, to redeem those who were under the Law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.   And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”   So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God. Galatians 4:4-7 Coming soon... a Slideshow for this article

Couple of days ago I met a young Muslim man on the cyber marketplace of the internet. He was zealous and fervent. His anger - partially - was right. Being hurted by the western imperialism and separated from the good news He has no peaceful message from Christians who fulfill the Great Commission: sharing the Good News for all nations... Beyond (and apart from) the political reasons, here's the answer for his question: Q: ... and what about the Trinity in the old testament? A: Well. Okay. You have asked. Let we see : — — — Old Testament passages that refer to God's Son and the Spirit of God. 1.Passages about God's Son: Psalm 2:7 - "I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, You art my Son; this day have I begotten you " {This is part of a royal psalm where God Mighty addresses the king.} Proverbs 30:4 - "Who had ascended up into heaven, or descended? who had gathered the wind in his fists? who had bound the ...

meditation There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse 1 , and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him 2 , the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. Isa 11:1-2 ... In that day the root of Jesse 1 , who shall stand as a signal 3 for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious. In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people 4 , from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea. He will raise a signal for the nations Isa 11:10-11 Notes: 1 Paul quoted this verse in Rom 15:12. referring to the Messiah: “The root of Jesse will come, even he who arises to rule the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles hope.” "A ro...

La doble forma de la Palabra La Palabra escrita La Palabra escrita es, por un lado, revelación registrada de nuestros antepasados. Cualquier nueva revelación debe estar en armonía con las revelaciones escritas del Antiguo y del Nuevo Testament. Por otra parte, la Palabra escrita es una promesa del Mesías venidero, y un registro del Mesías que ha venido. La Palabra encarnada Jesús es la Palabra encarnada. {Jn 1:14-15} La voz de Dios en forma corporal. Toda promesa de Gd se hizo visible y tangible en Él. Así que conocer la Palabra es una sabiduría multifacética que exige un aprendizaje complejo y no depende de mi preferencia personal. Él es accesible desde todos los lados y culturas. Hay que acercarse a él de estas múltiples maneras. La palabra cumplida Por último, debemos recordarnos a nosotros mismos y a los demás que la Palabra será finalmente una Palabra completada o cumplida en el último día. Será entonces cuando termine la era terrenal de la Iglesia. En s...

az Ige két {plusz egy} alakja Az írott Ige Az írott Ige egyrészt rögzített kijelentés elődeinktől. Bármilyen friss kijelentés összhangban {harmóniában} kell álljon az Ó- és Újszövetség írott kijelentéseivel. Másrészt az írott Ige az eljövendő Messiás ígérete, és a megérkezett Messiásról készült feljegyzés. A testet öltött Ige Jézus pedig ember lett, aki a testté lett Ige, Isten Hangja testi formában. {Jn 1:14-15} Minden Istentől jövő ígéret látható és érinthető lett benne. Az Ige megismerése tehát több oldalú bölcsesség, ezért komplex tanulmányozást igényel és ez nem függhet a személyes preferenciámtól. Minden oldalról és kultúrából megközelíthető. Így is kell hozzá­állnunk. + A beteljesült Ige Végül emlekeztetnünk kell magunkat és egymást arra is, hogy az Ige végül elvégzett vagy betöltött Ige lesz, az utolsó napon. Ekkor fejeződik be az Egyház földi korszaka. A te véleményed szerint milyen korszakai vannak az Igének a történelemben? EN

The two form of the Word The Written Word The written Word is, on the one hand, recorded revelation from our ancestors. Any fresh revelation must be in harmony with the written revelations of the Old and New Testament. On the other hand, the written Word is a promise of the coming Messiah, and a record of the Messiah who has come. The embodied Word Jesus is the incarnate Word. {John 1:14-15} God's voice in bodily form. Every promise from Gd became visible and tangible in Him. So knowing the Word is a multi-faceted wisdom which demands complex learning and does not depend on my personal preference. It /He is accessible from all sides and cultures. It /He must be approached in these multiple ways. + The fulfilled Word Finally, we must remind ourselves and each other that the Word will finally be a completed or fulfilled Word on the last day. This is when the Church's earthly era will end. In your opinion, what are the periods of the Word in hi...

­ Compare & meditate! Isaiah 64:1-5 Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence— as when fire kindles brushwood and the fire causes water to boil— to make your name known to your adversaries, and that the nations might tremble at your presence! When you did awesome things that we did not look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence. From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him. You meet him who joyfully works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. ↓ 1 Corinthians 2:9-11 None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us...

study in the chapterhouse Two different Eras: Mosaic Law vs. New Testament At   the coming of Jesus, the Judaism of the age had to decide on his authenticity. Let us not forget that the whole belief system was at stake. We know their decision well, reading the struggles and lives of the apostles, but many times we do not grasp the spiritual connections: what is happening in our daily lives, according to the Law. A XX. century 'gospel movements' - although they unable to efface the horrific memories of the Holocaust - have great, active sympathy for Israel, knowing that "to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises. To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all ..." (Rom. 9:4-5) In Matthew 5:17, Jesus / Yeshua also emphasized the role of the Mosaic Law and the Prophetic writings: Do not think that I have come to invalidate th...

tanulmány két különböző korszak: Mózes törvénye vs. Új Szövetség J  ézus eljövetelekor a kor judaizmusának dönteni kellett róla, a hitelessége felől. Ne feledjük. Az egész hit rendszer volt a tét. A döntést jól ismerjük, az apostolok harcait és életét olvassuk, sokszor azonban nem fogjuk fel a szellemi összefüggést a mi mindennapjaink történéseivel. A XX. századi 'evangéliumi mozgalmak' - bár nem tudják feledtetni a holocaust borzalmas emlékét - nagy szimpátiával és aktivitással viseltetnek Izraellel kapcsolatban, tudván hogy "övék az ősatyák, fiúság és a dicsőség, a szövetségek és a törvényadás..." ( Rm. 9:4-5 ) Mt 5:17-ben Jézus /Jeshua is hangsúlyozta: Ne gondoljátok, hogy azért jöttem, hogy érvénytelenné tegyem a törvényt vagy a próféták tanítását. Nem azért jöttem, hogy érvénytelenné tegyem, hanem hogy betöltsem azokat. Ennek ellenére megkerülhetetlen tény, hogy a modern judaizmus másként látja ezt a "betöltést", vagyis másként látja a ...
