Ministry

A third theme is that Jesus’s “hour has not come” (cf. 2:4; 7:30; 8:20). John indicates that the “hour” refers to his death, distinguishing his ministry from the point of his suffering (12:23).

Barksdale rationalizes his assumption that John is the writer by many facts recorded in the Gospel, the most logical is the fact that…

Harry Potter is a movie series filled with fantasy scripted from a series of seven novels written by J.K Rowling. It talks about how little Harry Potter survived a deadly attack on his family by the darkest wizard in the “world” and how he is supposed to destroy the killer of his parents. (Columbus, 2001-2011). Structuralists believe that the world is governed by rules and codes and so in giving meaning to a text such as this, these structural codes or rules must not be broken. However, there is…

I visited Cook County Jail for the very first time in my life with my Prison Ministry course. I always road pass the building to get to work, but never been inside to see how the buildings were structured. I have never been jailed, but always knew someone affected by the criminal justice system. For me, I grew up in a home where, I was taught to be respectful to others, Christian beliefs, morals, and values instilled into me at a young age. I know these same core principles were also taught to…
