    Jeremy's Response

    • 1158 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Personally I really enjoyed Jeremy’s message and I believe he did an excellent job of connecting the points made in the book of Joshua to our day and age. He started his talk by sharing a story from his life where things were a little unexpected and this began to lead him into connecting the need to recognize that we serve a God who does things unexpectedly. Then he went into the story of how Joshua had to step into some pretty huge shoes and to fill those he had to trust God. Joshua was Moses’s…

    The facts to Carnegie’s vison was he believed people like him had a duty to spend their money to help the greater good. He thought the rich should spread their wealth responsibly to benefit society while they can. Giving back to the community such as building public libraries to better the community is much more useful and beneficial then a wealthy person spending it foolishly. Rich men was the guardian for people. They have the responsibility to be humanitarian while they alive because if it’s…

    Jesus taught using many different ways, one of His favorite ways being through parables. They were the most efficient way that He could relate tough concepts like faith, His driving out demons, and fasting, to simple, everyday occurrences like Sewing seeds in Mark 4, the division of kingdoms in Mark 3, and a wedding feast in Mark 2. However, it is really Jesus Himself who is the greatest parable of the Bible. The way He lived is the greatest example that He ever gave to us, and His life…

    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…

    In The York Corpus Christi Play: The Crucifixion, Jesus speaks only two times in the three-hundred lines. The rest of the dialogue is between the four soldiers who are attempting to crucify him. There is an odd dark humor among the soldiers while they are crucifying Jesus. More interesting, however, is Jesus’ response to his crucifixion. The first time he speaks his words are directed at God only. The second time he speaks, the first half of his text is directed at man, while he still ends with…

    like Jesus forgot His mission. Why did Jesus say this? He quoted the first verse of Psalm 22 verbatim. This is a messianic Psalm according to most biblical scholars. When you cross-examine (pun intended) Psalm 22 with what happened to Jesus in the gospels' crucifixion narratives, the similarities are shocking! I'll let you compare them yourself. 3: Jesus Was Called "The King Of The Jews" Plaque nailed above Jesus' head read "King Of The Jews". Recorded in Mark…
