Apostle

the Apostles in the Early Church Jesus gathered many disciples around himself some of whom he also called apostles. These individual was sent out to preach and teach the gospel to others. According to Shaw (2013), “In reflecting on early church leadership there is a frequent tendency among Christian writers to seek justification for contemporary church governance and administrative practice through reading of texts that describe the developing life of the early church (p.131).” The apostles, in

Paul’s letter to the Romans is special in many ways. It has provided the church with such theological doctrine. Within its long text, Paul assures equal judgment by God as well as equal chances to pursue righteousness to God. Paul addresses the debacle of Israel and the implications of that on the Gentiles. Paul looks to the Roman house-churches and tackles possible issues within their context. Paul encourages the Romans to respect and not resist governing authorities. One topic Paul does not touch

Timothy was a young disciple of the apostle Paul. He was a man of God and a pastor of the church of Ephesus. He was a Galation who's family lived in Lystra, his mother and grandmother were faithful Jewish women who taught him the faith. What is so admirable about Timothy was that he probably saw Paul being beaten and stoned in the streets countless times, but it didn't stop Timothy from pursuing a discipleship with the great Apostle. His journey was rough, filled with travel and hard work

recognize this scene by the gestures of both the Lord and the Apostles. The Lord sits ever so quietly while the Apostles rise in reaction to what the Lord had just announced. It is rather obvious that Leonardo chose the critical moment after the Lord had stated, ‘Verily I say unto you that one of you shall betray me,' because of the emotions that evolve in this specific scene (Matt. 26.21). He took much time to express every detail of each Apostle and the Lord. Leonardo had even wrote in one of his notebooks

“The Acts of the Apostles” is the name given to the second part of a two-volume work traditionally identified as having been written by Luke, a companion of the Apostle Paul.” “Luke presumably a Gentile Christian, helps his communities to know how to remain faithful to tradition while reinterpreting it for their new circumstances.” In this pericope of Acts 2:41-47, the portrait of a group of believers who have a community spirit and is filled with the Holy Spirit, who becomes the church is

Savior ascended into heaven, He told His Apostles to “feed my sheep” (John 21:16) and teach His gospel to the world. And that is precisely what they did, empowered by priesthood authority from Christ Himself and with personal testimonies of Christ’s Atonement and Resurrection. They fanned out from the Holy Land, teaching and converting people to Christ’s Church, meeting with great success but also suffering tremendous persecution in the process. The Apostles’ first converts were other Jews, and indeed

3.1 Describe Paul’s gospel in regards to the elements he learned from the disciples in Jerusalem and in regards to those elements he received by revelation. To whom did Paul talk when he went to Jerusalem? How do we know? Show the similarities and differences between tradition and revelation in Paul’s gospel. Three years after his conversion, Paul went to Jerusalem to meet with Cephas (Peter). He remained in Jerusalem for fifteen days. After this time, he also met with James, the Lord’s brother

Apostolic Ministry in Rome According to tradition, there are two apostles who ministered in Rome. While some modern scholars question whether the Apostle Peter was ever in Rome, he is certainly the most celebrated Apostle of the city. A simple example of this is that the largest basilica in Rome (and one of the largest in the world) is named in honor of Saint Peter. The Apostle Paul's existence in Rome is less disputed and even though he is less commemorated nearly two millennia later.

was genuine this was an act. Early on Paul had a supernatural encounter with Jesus and soon underwent the utter transformation in his mind and heart, which he describes in his epistles as repentance. The road to acceptance wasn’t easy as the other apostles found it difficult to have this persecutor in their midst, much less endorse him as a teacher. But over the years Paul eventually set out on his first great journey. To gain great understanding of Paul’s life and teachings we have to look at the
