Jewish Background of the New Testament

Summary

Discoveries like the Dead Sea Scrolls made it clear that in order to better understand the New Testament, it is necessary to seriously consider the language and culture of those through whom it was written.
The New Testament did not betray, but embraced and gave the world the riches of the Jewish religion. Its authors interpreted from their original language thoughts, sayings, accounts or even written documents. So deep was their Jewish background that when they could not find an equivalent for some Hebrew words or expressions, they thought well to keep them in their Greek autographs. This use has influenced the language of churches down to our days: Christians everywhere end their prayers with a Hebrew word: “Amen.” They shout to God: "Hallelujah." They call Jesus the "Messiah."
The Jewish background of the New Testament is a fascinating and important topic to investigate.

    Recentering the Goal of Pastoral Ministry to Cultivate Christ-Treasuring Church Plants
As churches rapidly expand, Christians risk viewing the church with an entrepreneurial mindset. Church planters can be tempted to fixate on gaining numbers and achieving financial stability as their only metrics for success. They fail to focus on lifting up Christ's people within the church. 
In Planting by Pastoring, author Nathan Knight challenges our view of church planting and centers the goal of pastoral ministry on a basic biblical foundation: a church plant is in fact a church, and a planter is in fact a pastor. A healthy church plant is not measured by size, speed, or level of self-sufficiency but by good pastoring that produces faith, fruit, and a flourishing community. Once pastors and church leaders redefine their plant as a church, their ministry will begin to align with Jesus's mission to shepherd the flock and bring glory to God alone.  

- Provides Wisdom: This book reminds church planters of the heart of the church and the core purpose of pastors
- Offers a Unique Perspective: Addresses foundational elements of church planting other books fail to address
- Appeals to Pastors, Elders, and Church Planters: Great for those in the process of planting a church

    I have a question for you, and I hope you’ll be honest with yourself about the answer: Are there areas of your life you would enjoy more if you worried less? If so, I want you to make the same decision I made years ago. Decide to do something about it. Many of us have heard the tips that are meant to help us stop worrying, but we’re still living a life plagued with worry. Some of us have believed the lie of worry to such an extent that we actually think it’s a good thing. We think that, if we don’t worry about our kids, we’re not loving them. If we don’t worry enough about money, we’re not being good providers. Or if we aren’t worried about our job or the future, we feel lazy or apathetic. The truth is God did not create you to be a worrier. There is a place of balance He intends for you to live where you still care about life without constantly worrying about it. When I look back at where I was 5 years ago, I see a completely different person. God has taken a nervous wreck like me and given me a heart of peace. This book isn’t just me talking the talk. In it, I share principles from God’s word that help us win against worry, but I also share my personal journey of practically walking those principles out. You don’t have to live in a constant state of anxiety. You can walk down a different path. So, what are you waiting for? Come with me as we journey down a better path. Stop worrying, and start living in the peace and favor of God every day.
