As we have been learning in class, there is one big question we have to answer. That question is, “whose ministry is it?” It is surely not ours. We are not perfect and cannot do anything without God. So, there are more questions we need to answer. Four big ones are: who is God, how is God identified and named in ministry, who is the agent of ministry, what is the pastor’s role in ministry. The first one is “who is God?”. God is many things. The Apostles’ Creed says, God is “the Father almighty,…

Benchmark Assignment: Gospel Essentials So far in this class we have learned about how God created the Heaven, Stars and the Earth and all of the animals that live on it. We have also learned about the first human beings, Adam and Eve, who didn’t abide by God’s rules and let him down. We also learned how God gave his only son Jesus to come and walk with us as a human.
