disciple making. This author will examine the biblical answers of relationship evangelism for contemporary churches through the research on Paul’s ministry revealed in Acts. Synagogue-centered Evangelism The main concern of Paul to witness God’s gospel was on the Jews (Rom. 1:16). It approves why he visited synagogues whenever he went to each towns. Except for Philippi , he mostly employed synagogues strategically as contact points to deliver Good News. Synagogues were the adequate place to meet

Each of the four gospels portrays Jesus in a unique way. While Mark presents Jesus as the Suffering Servant, Matthew portrays Him as the new Moses. Luke, on the other hand, emphasizes Jesus’ compassion and humanity, which renders Him as the Universal Savior of mankind. Interestingly, though guided by one God, each author presents different aspects and definitions of discipleship. Luke’s Gospel, especially, provides us a glimpse of discipleship that is not easy; in fact, it takes trust and persistence

Most people would agree that Matthews’s gospel is the most Jewish of the four gospels. This first century Jewish writer, set within the Jewish tradition, wants the reader to learn about Jesus, the one he called Messiah. It is thought the work of Matthews’s gospel is unlikely to be a translator; there is no evidence to say if it is the same, Matthew mentioned in the gospel. We can say for certain the author was a Jew. And safely dated to the last quarter of the first century; the Didache and Ignatius

The Cultural Mandate v. The Gospel Mandate Without any doubt or question, Christianity is radically unique in that it is the only religion that communicates true redemption. Whereas some other religions believe and teach that there is an afterlife, only Christianity embraces the following belief concerning the human life experience in the inescapable mortal dimension of time (the complete and true story of history and eschatology): Our being and existence is understood in terms of 1) creation

writer of the Gospel of Matthew records them as if Jesus spoke directly to us. It was one of His greatest commands. Thus, to ignore it would be a sin. The sharing of God’s Word is that important. Its relevance speaks from the mouth of the Messiah. It has also been preserved in the Bible. We must always remind ourselves of this fact. Evangelism is a commandment from Jesus Christ. We should then fulfill this commandment with care. As already mentioned, evangelism caused much social unrest. It

slightly less true of many protestants, owing to the lack of a central protestant church). Obviously, the most central part of Christian belief is the teachings of Jesus Christ, as described in the four Gospels. In the Book of Mark, believed to be the earliest of the four, it states “He who believes [the gospel] and is baptized will be saved, but he who disbelieves it will be condemned” (p106). This immediately creates an ideology based entirely on one’s faith rather than reason or even one’s actions. Jesus

Writings of the Apostle Paul populate the canon of the New Testament. The rawness and earnestness found within spring from the pages igniting a wonder in the reader of who Paul the Apostle was. Paul went to great lengths to spread the name of Jesus and one cheers anxiously from the sideline waiting to see if he ever gets the upper hand. Attacked, insulted, beaten, discredited, and victimized are just a few adjectives that could describe daily life for Paul. He becomes a model of devotion and fervor

The four gospels in the Bible are the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The book that I have chosen to focus on is the book of Luke. Referencing my reading review from earlier in this week, my favorite Biblical story is, of course, the Christmas story. In my opinion, the book of Luke tells this story in the most beautiful way, and has therefore long been my favorite of the four gospels. In order, Luke is the third book, but the second longest of the four canonical gospels (Wikipedia.org). The

Jesus, and true people of God. The Jews had a misinterpretation of the coming of the Messiah and they did not acknowledge his resurrection and believed Jesus was cursed by God for being crucified. It was a necessity for the Apostles to preach the Gospel with truth and bring awareness to the people of the true interpretation of scripture. The Apostles pleaded the people to get saved (2:40) and acknowledging their sin by repenting and get baptized (2:37-38). The opportunity of repentance is a gift
