Jesus Discipleshiple

282 Words2 Pages

The story from the gospel of John, in which Jesus tells his disciples to cast their fishing nets off the right side of the boat; illustrates the moral dilemma that we are currently facing today, albeit not the way Christians would perceive. In this story, Jesus' disciples were unsure of what to do after his crucifixion and some of them had decided to go fishing one day. As Jesus' resurrection was unbeknownst to them, the disciples did not recognize Jesus was standing on the shore when he asked if they had caught anything yet, which they had not. So as an act of providence, Jesus commanded them to cast their nets on the right side of the boat where they had caught so many fish, they could not pull the net back in, instantly recognizing their

  • Speaking Of Jesus Chapter 3 Summary

    456 Words  | 2 Pages

    In chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis talks about what it means to own Christianity. He says "If we don't truly know what the gospel is, we have to find an explanation for Christianity." Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy. Medearis talks about how Christianity is more than a religion, but it is a relationship and people tend to not understand that. He explains why people are so defensive and put up their guards towards Christians, because Christians can be so judgemental.

  • Evangelical Covenant Church

    881 Words  | 4 Pages

    This religious study will define the evolutionary growth of cultural and racial diversity of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) in the late 129th and 20th centuries. The original pietisten philosophy of the Swedish protestant movement defines the foundations of the ECC in the late 19th century. However, the formation of Mission Friends societies throughout the United States, and especially in the Chicago area, prompted a break towards a more radical evangelical ideology. These “conventicles” would define a distinct American style of evangelical practice through the leadership of Carl Olof Rosenius (1816-1868) and eventually, under the leadership of Paul Peter Waldenström (1838-1917). These cultural shifts would occur during the Great Migration

  • Santeria Saints

    Santeria, meaning “Way of the Saints”, is a syncretic, Afro-Caribbean religion that grew out of slave trade in Cuba, and is based on Yoruba traditions and Roman Catholic incorporations (BBC). The initiation of Santeria can be dated to roughly the early sixteenth century during the bustling transatlantic slave trade, which involved Cuba. In this period, cultural diffusion was not uncommon, as African slaves from Nigeria and Benin were keen on maintaining the religious practices of their home country. The flexibility of the Christian missionaries allowed them to continue their belief systems, but they were still expected to embrace Christian beliefs, and so they did. Yoruba and Roman Catholic traditions were able to blend fairly easily due to

  • Brave New Discipleship Analysis

    506 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Brave New Discipleship, Max Anders makes the case that traditional discipleship is failing in the modern era. While the goal should be the same, there needs to be a different methodology. He explains that in the new non-Christian based culture, a holistic approach to discipleship is necessary. Any part of life not dealt with during discipleship will automatically be filled with the culture’s ungodly view, making Christians no different than the rest of society. According to Anders, there are seven key characteristics of a complete Christian: worshiping God individually, worshiping God corporately, growing in biblical knowledge, growing in Christlike lifestyle, growing in ministry skill, impacting the church, and impacting the world.
