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…

I will be carefully studying a fifteen second teaser for the third trailer developed for the movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This film is set “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away”. It has been thirty years in the Star Wars Universe since the conclusion of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and the galaxy has changed much in this thirty year time skip. The evil Galactic Empire has collapsed and its remnants have reformed to establish a successor organization called The First Order…

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…

I have decided to do my essay on Anakin Skywalker. He is the main hero/villain in the Star Wars series. I believe I can classify him as a type of god. Anakin typifies a type of god because of the fact that in the first half of the series he is considered a messiah of sorts. In both Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace and Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith several characters speak of Anakin’s special status. Both Qui-Gon Jin (a respected high level master Jedi) and Obi-Wan Kenobi…

Timeline Events and Parallels 1.) Event number one is my birth, I was born in the U.A.E., on June 25 2001. The parallel in Jesus’s life is his birth in Bethlehem, which we celebrate on Christmas, which will be Dec. 25 2016 this liturgical year. As a symbol I drew a manger which is where Jesus was born. 2.) Event two is my family’s move to Toronto, Ontario in Dec 2004, when I was 3 years old. The parallel in Jesus’s life is when Joseph and Mary flee to Egypt with baby Jesus, due to King Herod…

1. I have read the Gospels many times. I went to Sacred Heart Catholic School before St. Marys, and one of our assignment in 7 grade was to read each Gospel and answer a packet of questions. Like if said I’ve read the Gospels a lot and about half of those times were for school assignments. When read the Gospel this time around I notice that my mind was filling in the blanks. I was putting parts from other Gospels into this Gospel in place were it wasn’t written. The most common Gospels…

Chirrut was cool, Jyn was likable, and Cassian was the link to the rebellion. That’s about as far as I viewed them. To me, the characters in The Force Awakens were of the same archetypes we were familiar with. Rey was the new Luke, and Kylo Ren was a young Vader. Characters relatable to the environment created over 6 previous films. However, unlike the previous movies one of the core messages in the film is that the rebels also did bad things to see a good future. Dialogue included…

Within the New Testament, the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John work together to give accounts of the life of Jesus; Mark, though, uniquely focuses on Jesus as God. Each of these gospels give an insight into the life of Christ from their perspective. Each of the authors was moved by the Holy Spirit to write their thoughts down onto paper. Each one of these authors had the, “primary purpose…to present the gospel message and call people to faith” (Elwell & Yarbrough, 2013, p. 57). They…

Many books and movies have the same basic storyline. Star Wars: A New Hope and Arthurian Legend both have a very similar storyline; however, there are a few differences. The Force and the Holy Grail are both something that people are trying to find. Han Solo and Lancelot are both main characters but they have very different endings. Star Wars: A New Hope and Arthurian Legend are similar because they both have something that the main characters are trying to find, but they are different because…
