Love Changes Everything 

The way God loves is set apart from any other kind of love, and this is important to understand the love God has for us and how this transforms lives. In this word study, we will be analyzing the different words for “love” in the Greek language. We will be seeking to define and look at the individual usage of the words ερως, ἄστοργος, φιλέω, and ἀγάπη. Using multiple different Greek dictionaries as well as examples from the Bible (NASB), we are able to make conclusions about the meaning of the words. Specifically, we will examine and discuss the difference between ἀγάπη and φιλέω, the two most common words for love in the scriptures. By the context in which words are used, we are able to understand what they mean, and their significance. It’s important to understand the different meanings because the word itself and the action of love can be expressed in a multitude of different ways.

The History and Meaning of the Greek word for “grapevine”

This poster presentation explores the meaning of the Greek word for “grapevine” (ampelos) as it occurs in John 15:15 and other passages of the Bible. In determining the meaning of this word in this passage, we will explore its use and understanding throughout scripture in the light of historical and theological backgrounds. We are conducting research to find the meaning of the word “grapevine” in John 15:1-5 and Isaiah 5:1-7 and how the two relate. Isaiah and Jeremiah mention how Israel was the vine of God’s planting but it failed to bear good fruit; but in John 15:1-5, the new generation of God’s people are the branches growing from the “vine” (Jesus) and bearing good fruit. The representation of how the word “grapevine” changes throughout history by looking at the Gospels, New Testament writings and the Septuagint. The endings and use change over time as the texts were all written at different times in history. And finally the secular meaning of the word in Greek culture, poetry and writings throughout history. We will be looking into the meaning of the word in other metaphors that are not biblical and the relationship between the bible and secular (Pagan) Greco-Roman culture.
