The Kerygma Enigma – October 17, 2012

admin — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 19:52:17 +0000

The “Kerygma” is the initial and essential proclamation of the Gospel. As evangelizers we must know the “kerygma” if we are going to effectively communicate it to others. Unfortunately, for many Catholics the kerygma remains an enigma. In this episode we will explore the various elements of the kerygma and it’s meaning with a view to sharing it with others.

All Christians are called to evangelize and give witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is a most basic and fundamental duty of the entire People of God. Yet how exactly are we to go about it? What does it mean to “give witness” to the Gospel? Is it about “words” or “deeds”? In this episode we will be exploring the Church’s teaching regarding the type of witness that all Christians are called to give.

The Function of the Unction – October 3, 2012

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth.” These are the parting words of Jesus to his disciples before His glorious Ascension, words that describe the anointing that they would receive on Pentecost, which would embolden and empower them to evangelize the world. Every baptized and Confirmed Catholic receives this same outpouring of the Holy Spirit along with His spiritual gifts and charisms. These gifts are to be used for the building up of the Body of Christ and for the advancement of the Kingdom. Yet unfortunately for many believers these gifts remain largely dormant and undiscovered. In this episode we will explore the role of the Holy Spirit in evangelization and the importance of the spiritual gifts.

Evange-lies and Misconceptions Part 2 – September 5, 2012

Picking up from where we left off from the previous episode, we will continue to explore the many reasons/excuses (what I call Evange-lies and Misconcep-tions) that Catholics use to justify their failure to evangelize and will seek to counter these with the Church’s authentic teaching on Evangelization as found in the Scriptures, the New Catechism, the documents of the Second Vatican Council and Papal documents.

The Great Omission – August 22, 2012

admin — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:00:35 +0000

As Christians we know that Jesus was sent by the Father in the power of the Holy Spirit to evangelize a fallen world with the Gospel of salvation. During his earthly ministry Jesus called and formed his disciples to join him in carrying out that very mission of making disciples of all nations. This holy obligation and sacred duty was not limited to the apostles but was intended for all believers and followers of Jesus Christ, regardless of their state in life. Sadly, not all Catholics recognize that by virtue of their baptism and Confirmation, they have been anointed and appointed to evangelize. Unfortunately for many, the “Great Commission” has become “The Great Omission”. In this episode of “Making Disciples” we will outline a basic theology of evangelization and begin to explore the reasons why so many Catholics fail to recognize their call to share Christ with others.
