1. Briefly describe Wilkinson’s law of the learner, then explain in more detail how this law affects the way you prepare and present your Bible lesson.
The law of the learner states that as a teacher, we accept the responsibility of causing our students to learn. We should give all that we can to ensure that our students understand the content being taught, how to apply it and why it is being taught. Because I am responsible as the teacher, it is important that I pray and seek God’s guidance before I ever bring the lesson to the class. I need to research my passage and the surrounding content to ensure that I understand the correct context before I share this with the students. I need to be able to apply my passage, 1 John 3:16-18 to my life before I can teach this passage to my students. If my students fail to learn that this passage is about the showing the action of love, then I have failed to teach them.
2. Briefly describe Wilkinson’s law of expectation, then explain in more detail how this law affects the way you prepare and present your Bible lesson.
The law of expectation states that we expect the best from everyone, about everything all the time; however this is not a true reality. Expectations impact everyone including their past, present and future. We expose our expectations through our attitudes and actions, whether we admit this or not. We affect others with our expectations whether good or bad. In my chosen passage, 1 John 3:16-18, we can see how God
Think about a lesson that you might teach. Briefly describe it and at least four types of sheltered instructional supports you might provide for your ELL students.
Anthony the Great makes some thought provoking insights in his interpretation of 1 John 4. even though we can do what we want to others, influence their decisions with lavish presents or hurt them, we cannot do anything to God, influence Him with physical gifts, or hurt God. Nevertheless, there are some, who when becoming a Christian, expected to love others naturally. However, when they could not, they judged themselves as failed
In the sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" Jonathon Edwards utilizes rhetorical devices such as, personification, similes, and metaphors to persuade his audience into obeying God.
‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. The second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two precepts hang all the law and the prophets’ (Mathew 22.37, 38, 39, 40). ‘By this all men know that they are my disciples, if ye have love one to another’ (John 13.35) …’He who loveth God loveth his brother also’ (1 John 4.21) …’If any man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar’ (1 John 4.20) …The first thing that takes our attention is the saying of Jesus, ‘Thou shalt love,’ etc. (501-2)
Henry Mitchell does a great job of focusing on a few main arguments in Celebration and Experience in Preaching. These arguments center around the experience of the Word and the vehicles of experience. Mitchell starts the book by stating that he believes that salvation and spiritual growth come through a spiritual encounter with the Word and that preaching at its best is used by the Holy Spirit makes this experiential encounter possible. Mitchell contends that this experience is not a coming to faith moment. But, rather the experiential experience is one that helps to “describe, interpret, and help communicate” the faith experience. An experiential encounter with Word happens when three major elements are present. The first major element that needs to be present for an experiential encounter with Word is a Biblical text that encourages trust in and obedience to Word, along with a behavioral purpose calling for real-life application. The second major element needed is a basic understanding of hearing and other senses and how they relate to belief in Word. The hearing experience must consist of vivid details and images, some sense of familiarity, and homiletic moves in consciousness. Mitchell believes that details allow for a greater sense of meaning for believers, familiar associations call to mind similar experiences that bridge the gap between then and now, and the homiletical moves break down abstract concepts bringing them to life for the hearer. The third major element

Individuals must have love, and churches must display it as an essential principle, which was given as an order that, through love, those who are the Disciples of Christ will be recognized (John 13: 34 – 35). This is one fundamental that need not necessarily be spoken of, but require involvement and active participation of the Holy Spirit in our lives so that we can achieve the necessary growth. Meaning without the Holy Spirit in our lives, our love is human and purely fake.
