    In Matthews 5-7 and Luke 6:20-49 there are many lessons and wise words of Jesus spoken. I believe Jesus is asking his followers to love each other and nothing more than to show compassion and care for each individual that you cross paths with. It portrays that through whatever you do in life to always look to the Lord for answers. No matter the rough or great times you have throughout life there is always an answer and there will always be an upside to any situation. Jesus wants every human that walks the earth to make a positive difference in the lives of others.…

    Oratorical Essay Jesus fed 5,000 people with five loaves and two fish which certainly did serve humanity in the naked eye of anyone. In three books of the Bible, Mathew, Luke and John have the same writings for such an important event in history, not only religion. In those days, it was super hard to stay alive because it was either you worked and saved or supported others or you never worked and didn’t care for others. According to the Good News Bible, it says “He welcomed them, spoke to them about the Kingdom of God and healed those who needed it.” Helping others doesn’t include bragging or wasting the time you have with others to do something else.…

    Faith in Action Paper I spent my 15 faith service hours volunteering for Feed My Starving Children and I helped the maintenance crew around the school. While I did this I made new friends and grew as a person as well as in my faith. I probably spent about 8 or more of my service hours volunteering for Feed My Starving Children. Before when I was younger, I would go in because my older sister needed service hours and scoop some veggies and powder into a funnel for an hour and a half. Then after the session my sister would have me walk up to the counter and ask for a slip of paper with the service hours on it, so she give them to her school’s counselor and get the hours out of the way faster.…

    True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…

    This is a great reminder to do hard work to honor and please the Lord, and show my co-workers that I am living out my life in obedience to Christ. These are practical ways in which one can show and demonstrate Christ to others. If I do not have honesty and integrity at work, then my testimony of being a believer in Christ will not be accepted. I am grateful for the co-workers the Lord has placed in my life, and I am going to be more relational to them so that I can have an even greater testimony to them. One practical way I can do this is to bring in breakfast and serve them from time to time.…

    Introduction into this book and videos covers how we need to set long term goals, but before doing so we need to ask ourselves some questions. Before we can set those goals we should seek to know Christ. This can be done by reading the four gospels and seeing what Jesus did, what we can learn from him, and how does it relate to us? Jesus’ last commandment was to go and make disciples, and while principles never change, our methods have to change in order to reach the current generation, and each beyond. As we get into the chapters we learn that men are God’s method and while they may seem unlearned or ignorant by man’s standards, God uses those willing to learn and raises them into leadership.…
