WHY DO WE KNEEL AND PRAY IN THE COMMUNION SERVICE?

Praying in Communion Services: by Mrs. Eddy  CSJ August 1889 & quoted in Mrs. Hoag's article below:

"The sacrament shall be observed ... by a short interval of solemn and silent self-examination by each member, as to his or her fitness to be called a follower of Christ, Truth; as to his real state of love toward man, and fellowship and communion with Christ; as to whether he is gaining in the understanding and demonstration of Truth and Love, coming out from the world and being separated from error; growing less selfish, more charitable and spiritual, yea, walking worthy of his high calling.”

“One should turn into his consciousness with renewed carefulness the ever- searching light of Truth. Shall it not be a specific time for purging from one's thought all that is unworthy and untrue?”

Encouraging Bible study through the lens of Christian Science

January 9, January 16, January 23, January 30 @9-11am

Topic: The “Colossal” Character of Paul

Is church flourishing today? In the first century of the Roman empire, the early Christian church thrived despite pagan influences and significant opposition. There is a pattern in the book of Acts that reveals the reason for the Christian church’s rapid growth. Can this pattern be applied to our church in the 21st century?

Join us for an 8-hour, 4-part series on the book of Acts, beginning with chapter 9. We will study the biblical record of Paul and how he fulfilled his mission in furthering the Christian church in the first century of the Roman world. Some questions that we will explore:

  • How does Paul’s transformation from persecutor of Christians to advocate of Christianity prepare him for his God-appointed mission?

  • Why does Mary Baker Eddy Eddy use the descriptive word “colossal” for the character of Paul (Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896, p. 360:7)?

  • How might we describe Paul’s nature under maximum pressure?

  • What is the theme of Paul’s preaching, to Jews and gentiles, throughout the Roman Empire?

  • How does the book of Acts define what church is and what church is not?

  • Why does church grow so rapidly in the first century of the Roman empire?

 

Included in the series

PowerPoint slides will be screen shared via Zoom during each presentation.

Downloadable handouts: an outline of Acts with study questions (chapters 9 – 28), maps of Paul’s journeys, a timeline of Paul’s life and letters, and a bibliography.
