Greetings, we are deeply sadden on this occasion to hear of the loss of Sister Aurmandy Johnson. During a recent conversation with her son, the Rev. Dr. Willie Johnson he expressed that his heart was heavy with emotion knowing that his mother was sick and fighting to survive.

During our conversation, her son Willie spoke of his love for his mother and father. How he had been praying for his mother. And even though sister Johnson has moved on that celestial place we call heaven; please know that God is still able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. The Gospel of John Chapter 14:1-3 tells us “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. For in

    Give examples of how the practice of ministry has affected your experience and understanding of A) God At the core of my understanding of God is a God of love in covenantal relationship with God’s children. Romans 8:38-39 says it well; “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” The practice of ministry has only proven to strengthen that belief. I was called early Saturday morning to sit with a family who had just learned of the death of their daughter/granddaughter in a vehicle accident.…

    By representing purgatory, the screen highlights the human need for salvation. This is visually expressed by the crucifix hanging on the trumeau. Indeed, one can only cross the screen through the body of Christ, illustrating the act of expiation needed to progress from purgatory to Heaven. The screen can be seen as encouraging the believer to follow on Christ's path, and the crossing of the screen can be interpreted as the apogee of one's physical form, as Christ's crucifixion was the apogee of his physical form, which he needed to sacrify for humanity's sins. The screen therefore becomes the visual representation of John 14:6.1…

    The crucible was about a lengthy trial which caused many people to open their eyes and see the bigger picture. In my opinion, most have gone through, or will go through, a severe trial during their life that will cause them to change their perspective. For me the trail I experienced which impacted me the most was seeing my little sister in critical condition at the age of two. I was nine and my world turned upside down for what seemed like forever. Although I was young at the time, the thought of not having my little sister in my life impacted me strongly, and led me to mature.…

    Over the years much study has been done of the Gospels. Each time a scholar begins to study the Gospels they must take a step back and determine what the Gospels mean to them. Scholarly methods can depend upon one’s view of the Gospel’s authoritative nature. Scholarly study of the Gospels utilizes either a critical methodology or one where the Gospels are seen as an authority set by God due to being sacred text (Harris, 2011). The use of fundamentalist methodology in which the Gospels are viewed as a black and white fallacy creates a false dilemma (Harris, 2011).…

    The theme of love lies at the heart of the Fourth Gospel, pervading every aspect of the book. The Synoptic Gospels focus on the theme as well, but in John’s Gospel Jesus directs his disciples to love God and their neighbor, based on Deuteronomy 6:4–5 and Leviticus 19:18. In John’s Gospel, Jesus’s only command for his disciples is to love one another (15:12), and he assures the reader that God loves those who keep his commandments (14:21, 23). John points to Jesus’s death as an example of the type of love that Jesus expects his disciples to have (cf. 3:16; 15:13). Love in the Gospel of John argues that to understand John’s concept of love requires understanding more than what Jesus taught in the Gospel.…

    Question 1: Read John 1:1-18, in particular 1:17, “The Law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” What is the background of teaching found with Moses that is a starting point but also a point of departure for Jesus? See especially Exodus 3 for the revelation of God, his holiness, and name. See also Exodus 19 and the setting of the revelation of the Law from Mt. Sinai.

    The Gospel of John is one of the four Gospels written to tell the story of Jesus’ life. Just as Matthew, Mark, and Luke have given their accounts of Jesus’ miracles so has John. Though these accounts may have their own way of telling what is important to them, the main fact is that these Gospels were recorded so that we may learn more of the word of God. “In order to understand John’s approach to the story of Jesus, the reader must recognize the centrality of the incarnation of the Gospel” (NIB 1905). The book of John begins, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).…

During Jesus’ time on this earth, He used the claim “I AM” to describe himself throughout all His teachings. The Gospel of John shows at least eight different times Jesus says this. Seven of these claims were accompanied by signs to back up His words.…
