TUESDAY HOME CHURCH - FEBRUARY 2023
Tuesday Home Church will be completing its tour
through the earliest-written Gospel, Mark, in the first two weeks of
February. We meet Tuesday from 3:30
pm until 5:10 pm via zoom (contact
Mike Eggleston or Eileen Murta for the zoom number and link.) On February 7, we
expect to complete Mark chapter 15 on the crucifixion, and begin on Mark 16,
the Empty Tomb. On February 14, we plan to complete Mark 16.1-8, and then
the second ending of Mark, meetings with the resurrection Jesus, found in Mark
16.9-20.
It has been a challenging
study since we have been looking not only at Mark but at the parallel accounts
to each of Mark’s narratives as told by Matthew and Luke. . .and when it comes
to the vital closing events of trial, crucifixion, and resurrection, we are
also considering John. As with any human crisis event, the observers tell
it differently, especially John.
In our day, we have videos
taken of most events, and instant communication. Not so in first-century
Galilee and Judea. So, it’s been a challenge to read the parallel texts
in the gospels, and nowhere will that be more true than when dealing with
something so supernatural as the resurrection. Any and all are invited.
On February 14, we will also decide what study
Home Church may undertake next. . .not necessarily from the Bible, though we
have been doing Bible studies for the past five years in one form or another.
In summer, we’ve been viewing and discussing seasons of The Chosen, a very
well-told extra-Biblical series on the life of Jesus and his disciples. Watch
for upcoming information from Mike who leads the group.
