The Lord's Teaching Through the Twelve Apostles to the Nations (The Didache)

Anonym

Beschreibung

The Didache also known as The Lord's Teaching Through the Twelve Apostles to the Nations is a brief anonymous early Christian treatise written in Koine Greek, dated by modern scholars to the first or (less commonly) second century AD. The text, parts of which constitute the oldest extant written catechism, has three main sections dealing with Christian ethics, rituals such as baptism and Eucharist, and Church organization. The opening chapters describe the virtuous Way of Life and the wicked Way of Death. The Lord's Prayer is included in full. Baptism is by immersion, or by affusion if immersion is not practical. Fasting is ordered for Wednesdays and Fridays. Two primitive Eucharistic prayers are given. Church organization was at an early stage of development. Itinerant apostles and prophets are important, serving as "chief priests" and possibly celebrating the Eucharist. Meanwhile, local bishops and deacons also have authority and seem to be taking the place of the itinerant ministry.

Translated by Charles Hoole.

Moms at the Well - Meeting God...

Tara Edelschick, Kathy Tuan-MacLean

Meeting God Through the Mothers of Scripture
Motherhood is hard. Really hard.
Tara Edelschick and Kathy Tuan-MacLean know this personally. As moms who have spent decades working with and encouraging other moms, they know the struggles real moms face in our real world. Their survey of more than seven hundred moms revealed that moms experience worry, anger, comparison, escapism, a desire for control, and even heartbreak while raising children. And moms long to connect with God in the midst of it all, but even that can feel like a challenge.
That's why we need a well. For centuries, women met daily at neighborhood wells to draw water for their families, meeting a very significant physical need. But these wells were also gathering spaces, providing much-needed community and relationships.
Moms at the Well offers a modern-day "well" for mothers—a gathering place to encourage one another, take an honest look at the challenges we face as moms, and experience the God who invites us into a process of spiritual transformation.
Through studying women in Scripture, this seven-week Bible study walks through challenges that moms face:

- When we feel unseen
- When we're worried
- When we're running from pain
- When we're caught in a comparison trap
- When we're angry
- When we're grasping for control
- When our hearts are breaking

Moms at the Well includes weekly sessions for groups of any size, access to weekly teaching videos, and five days of individual study and reflection each week. You'll study how God meets you where you are, welcomes you into honest conversation, calls you to trust and obey, transforms and sets you free, and invites you to be an agent of shalom.
This refreshing, accessible, and insightful study from trusted Bible teachers will encourage you in your faith. Meet with moms, meet with God, and find much-needed refreshment at the well.

FINDING MY LOST VOICE - By...

Basil Sparks

Reclaim Your Voice, Reshape the Future 
Sparks challenges the status quo of those who feel sidelined and shutdown, those believing that it is better to remain silent than to be shamed into silence. He reminds readers that to shape a better, collective future, it is crucial that they courageously find their voice. The book is thoughtfully provocative, but also sensitive. 
In Finding My Lost Voice Sparks steps carefully into controversial conversations that have polarised the world. He is reflective, inspiring readers to think carefully and to engage constructively with each discussion; whether that is white privilege, homosexuality, body image, or whether it is better to support Israel or Palestine. He persuades readers to reject mob mentality, and to embrace free speech whilst learning to think independently. 
Sparks’s unique lens is that of a heterosexual, white, Christian man in his late 50’s. He speaks as a person some may prefer to cancel! But he speaks, nonetheless. He calls readers to embrace three indispensable qualities that must flavour every engagement: justice, kindness, and humility. 
Standing at the intersection of conviction and complacency, readers must choose: Will they settle for a life of quiet desperation? Or will they ignore the voices trying to silence them? Will they find their lost voice?

God’s Epic Plan of Redemption -...

Charles Shefler

God’s Eye-Opening Plan for All Creation is Rooted in Israel 
In this Bible overview, Charles Shefler outlines God’s entire plan, from start to eternal finish, showing how all nations will be redeemed through Israel and the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus). Its simple, everyday language will help you better understand the Bible, as well as Israel's vital role in the things to come.  
The Gentile church doesn’t historically see the special, important, and distinct place of Israel in the scriptures, prophecies, and biblical events, that will lead to the very salvation, redemption of the world, and blessing of all nations in accordance with the promise God made to Abraham. In large measure most Christians are unaware of who the real Jewish Jesus is, and the vital role that Israel plays in God’s Plan for the redemption of the world. The in-grafted branches of the Gentile church do not support its Jewish root; the root supports the branches. You may be surprised, as the author was, to discover that Jesus and most of his disciples were Jewish, the church was started by the Jews, and most Jews of Jesus’ day actually believed that Jesus was the Jewish Messiah.  
This Bible overview will prepare you to move forward in truth with a renewed sense of purpose, faith and hope for the future. You’ll meet the real Jewish Jesus, Yeshua, and have a profound experience of God’s love for you, and safety under His wing. You will stand unshaken in the knowledge that God has a plan to prosper us and not to harm us, not only for the world, but also for you. 
This book is a must read for Christians wanting to know how and why Israel is so important to God, to partner in His world plan of redemption, and to be well-prepared for the end times and things to come.
