The Church

The Gospel is another way to say the Good news regarding Christ and the way of salvation. This scripture explains the birth, death, and resurrection of Christ. The gospel explains the teaching or revelation of Christ. A key passage concerning the good news of God is

The United Methodist Church is growing and it is happening in nontraditional areas. Between 2005 and 2013 outreach ministries connected the UMC with diverse communities and created over 130,000 new disciples in His image. Outreach ministries believe in providing sustenance to who are without basic needs and envision a day without want. On this foundation, missionaries built programs and created an opportunity for growth. Through ministry, the UMC continues to provide support and generosity to those who need help while transforming missionaries’ actions into disciples across the globe. UMC apportionments equip ministries and change the world.

Hello pastor Demarco, I hope all is well at St. Benedict Parish, and that all your parishioners are getting ready for a great rest of the year ahead.

When a person cares about others, it shows that they are a great person and that they put others before themselves. It also proves to others that they aren’t a selfish individual. There is always a great amount of accomplishment when someone helps others because it makes them feel as though they did something that made a difference. A person doesn’t have to go out and save the world to be able to make a difference in someone’s life. Sometimes it’s the smallest thing that can change someone’s life. Helping others brings a warm spot to their heart. They don’t even have to be human to feel love. Animals all the time are need of homes or loving hands to pet them. Being caring is just one of those qualities that is very important no matter where a person goes in life or what they are

The reading from Mark’s gospel holds us in the spatial interplay of inside/outside: What keeps us in the life of God, our external traditions or our internal intentions? The passage also shows us the distinction between the Law and the Gospel.

Structure: St. Matthew’s structure I have sure served it well when there were over 400 in attendance in worship on Sunday mornings. However, now that attendance is most Sunday’s under 100 and the leadership

The gospel is the preeminently a report about the work of Christ on our behalf, that is why and how the gospel is salvation by grace. The gospel is news because it is about a salvation accomplish for us, it is news that creates a life of love, but the life of love is not itself the gospel. In fact, the gospel has to equal an opposite enemy, the gospel is ever crucified between its two errors, religion and irreligion; the theological terms are the legalism and autonomism. In other terms, another way to describe them could be moralism and relativism (on pragmatism). According to Keller, these two error constantly seek to corrupt the message and steal away from us the power of the gospel. Moreover, the gospel is the good news that God has accomplish

In the history of the Catholic Church, there have been many Pontifical elections and even more Popes serving as the head of the Catholic Church. The Papal Conclave was introduced years after the Roman Catholic Church was established. The position of Pope is currently occupied by His Holiness Pope Francis—whose birth name is Jorge Bergoglio. Pope Francis assumed position in March 2013 after the resignation of his predecessor two weeks prior.

I investigated Satan in the Catholic church; who he is and how he is described. I have a previous knowledge of the Catholic faith because I used to attend mass as a child, and because most of my family is catholic and practicing. Satan is a very popular symbol talked about in society, yet what is said does not seem very educated, so I wanted to learn more about who Catholicism states Satan is, from the people who follow the faith.

The Protestant Reformation was to Christianity what the Civil Rights movement was to African Americans. During the 16th century, the Catholic Church exploited humans by making salvation from God a market, or system, in which one could earn salvation by financial contribution, or confessing one’s sin to a priest. Salvation is a gift, granted by God, to be received by faith alone. Using the common themes theory, this paper will expound on the problem the Roman Catholic Church posed on the Roman Empire, by corruptly managing acceptance into God’s graces, the solution Martin Luther employed to resolve the problem, and the effects of his solution.

What is Gospel? The people usually think the Fourth Gospel that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and it is all about Jesus. In the ancient Hellenistic time, the Gospels were regarded as biographies of Jesus (Boring, 508). If Jonathan Z. Smith represents “a son of God” as Jesus in his definition, I do not think the Gospel is only the story of Jesus, a son of God. While Jesus appears in every scene of Gospel, Jesus himself is not the main object of the Gospel. But I acknowledge that Jesus is the important character in the Gospel because God reveals himself through Jesus, and Jesus reveals himself as the Christ (Boring, 509). Boring said that the structure of the Gospel is not talking about Jesus’s life, but it is “who Jesus is in the plan of God” (Boring, 510). Dr. Smith’s definition seems like only focusing on Jesus as a son of God. However, I would like to emphasize God and God’s work through Jesus the Christ in the Gospel rather than Jesus as a son of God. If only focusing on Jesus, we can easily miss God’s works in the believer’s life and the community in the Gospel. And also, it is easy to think Jesus as only human being. I believe that Jesus, a son of God, cannot be explained

Each of the four Gospels contains points in ecclesiology. In the Great Commission, Jesus’ last instruction to the Apostles is to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing and teaching people (Matthew 28:19-20). For Jesus’ mission to continue and for his Church to grow, discipleship is necessary. Discipleship is a prominent theme in all four Gospels, for purposes of this essay, only the Gospels of John and Luke-Acts will be analyzed. The similarities regarding discipleship in these Gospels include images of the net and fishing, and the sheep/shepherd/sheepfold. The differences include the preparing of the Twelve to carry on Jesus' ministry in Luke, and service to the community and passing of authority in John's Gospel.
