    In addition to studies and part-time jobs, students were expected to be prepared to preach anywhere at any given time (Wooten, 2001). Billy prepared four sermons and one day he got his chance to preach them at a small Baptist church in Bostwick. To his dismay, his sermon that was initially supposed to last forty-five minutes only lasted about two minutes. He practiced preaching in downtown Tampa by standing on the streets preaching to passersby or he would go…

    The Sermon Of The Bible

    The sermon was about two hours long and focused on their belief that unless one believed in the messaged of the founder Felix Manalo, reconciliation with God was impossible. I gathered that the INC is not a believer in sola fide, but strictly observes sola scriptura. They are resolute that only their church has the correct translation of the scriptures of the Bible, and I got the impression that only the church hierarchy had the knowledge and authority to make this interpretation. After the…

    Graham’s evangelistic career had just begun when he was asked to speak at a Youth for Christ rally. Torrey Johnson was looking for a dynamic speaker who could inspire and energize a young audience in their faith and he thought of Graham. The Youth for Christ rallies were established to be upbeat, exuberant, and celebrate Christ’s good works. Graham spoke at Chicago’s first Youth for Christ rally on May 24, 1944. Graham was nervous that no one would show up, but it was just the opposite (Wooten,…

    This case study was a meeting between my District Superintendent and myself. We agreed to meet at a diner half way between each of our residences. This diner is in semi-rural farm country. It was very crowded when we arrived. I was very nervous because the discussion was to be about where I felt I wanted to serve starting this July 1st. The DS and I greeted each other and were seated by the waitress. We then ordered soft drinks and began to converse. He asked how I was doing and what I…

    III. The Pardoner discloses another trait that is displayed by himself and the characters in his tale concluded to be hypocrisy. The Pardoner himself proves to be a very greedy person, but persistently insisted that money was the root of all evil when him himself focused on money. He finished his story and then at the end asked for penance. "Avarice is the root of all evil" This represents the hypocrisy in the personality of the pardoner as he says this while gathering penance. The characters…

    The cell is dark. A five by five enclosed room is where the broken man lies. Wrapped in cloth lying on the floor, there is no bed to rest. Only one window with bars is where the moons dark and shady light sneaks through the bars. Shadows of the bars land on the floor as the weakened man lays as he awaits his eternal fate one day to see the light. Thirty years before the incident in 2007. "Please open your Bibles to Proverbs 8:10." The word of God is preached by Ivan Sokolov a man in his…

The sermon is delivered from the central…

    Sermon On The Mount Essay

    • 397 Words
    • 2 Pages

    II. The Sermon on the Mount is not a new law with more rigid commandments than Moses’s law. Therefore, I disagree with the following statement: “Some read the Sermon on the Mount as a new law with more stringent (rigid) commandments than the law taught by Moses.” Jesus said that he didn’t come to bring a new law but to fulfill the old (Mathew 5: 17). There is a historical continuity between the Old Law and the Sermon. The Sermon explains and clarifies the Law that was taught by Moses. These…

    As discussed in the previous section, the concept of poor in the Lukan writing is not entirely, or even primarily, about the economically deprived, but all those who lived in an inferior status within the Jewish society. The focal point of the Gospel is the treatment of these categories of people that Luke considers to be ‘the poor’. The Gospel doesn’t only focus on the poor being inheritors of the message, but also the message of how the poor ought to be treated by those of power. This leads…
