In what ways does this sacrament emphasize the role of the community, the primacy of faith, and a holistic anthropology? The role of the community is expressed by continuing with the healing ministry of Jesus Christ through the Sacrament of anointing of the sick, providing security and hope of the presence and Jesus Divine power to heal…
Unit 3 Performance Task - The Gospel narratives reveal God’s plan of redemption fulfilled in Jesus in Accordance within the scriptures. Immediately after Adam and Eve’s disobedience we still see how God remains faithful. God made a covenant with them that he would save humanity from the damage caused by Satan’s deception. It is shown through the course of the Bible that Mary may be seen as the new Even and Christ as the new Adam, the two that will restore original holiness and justice from…
Who was Jesus Christ? Some claim he was a prophet while others claim he is the Son of God. Some say he was a historical figure while others say he was never even here. So who is this man know as Jesus Christ? From Messianic prophecies to the coming of the Son in the end times, no matter who Jesus is to someone he is a historical figure with a background that has been documented within the Bible. The book of Isaiah was written almost seven hundred years before Jesus was born. Isaiah claims the…
Signature of Jesus is a book about offering Christians to live “faith” and not religion. What this means is that the author Brennan Manning wants us as readers to live our lives like Jesus; committed to simplicity, purity of heart, and obedience to the gospel. From reading and studying the first pages of The Signature of Jesus, I learned the very purpose in which why Brennan Manning wrote the book. The purpose of the Signature of Jesus is to try and influence ourselves to live like Jesus. Jesus…
that oppress the poor. The church must proclaim Jesus Christ as the liberator of the poor and the oppressed. “The Age of Sabbath,” shows that the kingdom includes the observance of the Sabbath. Since, Jesus has not inaugurated the rest kingdom people must observe the “Sabbath-rest…, for the kingdom has not yet come in its fullness. We must make every effort to enter that rest” (Heb. 4:11); we must still seek first the kingdom of God.” “The Age of Jubilee,” is the kingdom that is realized…
to prove that Jesus displays God’s characteristics of eternality, proof must be given that He was given God’s power. In order to prove God is real and amongst men, Jesus must use characteristics of God as his evidence; coincidentally, the Bible gives explicit words to do this. The Bible shows that God will not “yield [His] glory to another or [His] praise to idols” (Isaiah 42:8, New International Version). Yet, throughout the New Testament, there are constant callings to praise Jesus. There is…

part of my life from my upbringing as a child to me being an adult and raising my own family. There are worldviews that don’t even believe in God or have different beliefs in a God of their own understanding.

God is trinity, one God he is the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. Everything that God stands for is love. God is omnipotent. According to Hiles and…
Bibles to Romans chapter 5 as we conclude our short series on the love of God. I want to read to you verses 6 through 11 as that will be our study for this morning. Beginning in verse 6, the great apostle Paul writes… In 1 John 4:8 we read that “God is love.” This is probably one of the most misused and misunderstood bible texts because people take it out of context. I have said and I will say it again that many people think that “God is love” means that they will be saved and ushered into the…
about people? Martha slightly blames Jesus for her brother’s death. Then she kind of back-tracks and displays a sign of faith, she knows who Jesus is. She calls Him Teacher. Yet, when Jesus told the men to remove the stone from Lazarus’ tomb, she displayed uncertainty. Mary also slightly blames Jesus for her brother’s death. But she also knows who Jesus is because she fell at His feet when she saw Him. The Jews that were present made biting comments like, if Jesus could make a blind man…
