A Lenten Study
2007
This 4-week study will be offered starting February 25th,
on both Sunday evenings (7 - 8:30) and Monday mornings (10 - 11:30), in
Hanson Hall. Take a virtual tour of
Israel and Turkey this Lenten Season. Rev. Horak will be leading a video
series entitled, "In the Dust of the Rabbi - Becoming a Disciple."
"Follow a rabbi, drink in his words and be covered with
the dust of his feet," says the ancient Jewish proverb. Disciples
followed so closely that they would be covered with the dust kicked up
by the rabbi’s feet. Come, discover how to follow Jesus as we
start in Galilee where Jesus called His first disciples and then on to Priene and Didyma in Turkey where the disciples learned to follow the
Rabbi.
The New Testament is the story of disciples written by
disciples who wanted to make disciples. Discipleship as Jesus and
His followers knew it is not a part of the Western Christian culture
today. Visiting various sites in the Holy Land, this study will
seek to explore what a disciple is and how we become one.

Galilee - When the Rabbi Says, "Come" and
"Go" |
 |
On the shores of the Sea of Galilee,
Jesus called His first disciples. It is also where he
charged them to go into all the world. What did Jesus see
in theses ordinary men? And what made them change the
course of history and the world? |

Priene - A Counter-Cultural Community |
|
While not mentioned in the Bible, Priene
was home to a vibrant Christian community in a formerly pagan
Asia Minor. New disciples remained true to their Rabbi.
How did they do it? |

Didyma - The Very Words of God |
 |
Didyma was filled with magnificent
temples where ancients sought oracles from their gods. But
it was also a site where new believers in Jesus Christ sought
and received revelations from God. |

difference does it make? |
