The Bible says in Matthew 28:19-20, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” This is known as “the Great Commission.” The Great Commission is a joint mission between us and the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:4-8 says, “And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but
activities of induvial or organized groups so that they follow and do willingly what the leader wants them to do (Human Relations pg.234). Leading a team or group is a real skill that takes time, thought and dedication. Leadership is the most studied aspect of business and any kind of organization because it is the one overarching topic that makes the difference between success and failure. A church leader is one of the leader that I respect all the time. Church Leadership is designed to enable those whose
you? When you hear "the Church," what do you think of? Maybe, it is that place where you are forced to go every weekend, something to do with Jesus and God, but you aren 't quite sure, or, do you think of Jesus dying for you? Well, whatever you think of, I am going to explain to you what, from the Bible passages that I have read, what I think God was trying to explain to us. God tries to explain what the Church should mean to us in the Bible passages through the apostles and people he has sent down
Does God care about me? We live in a world where to be free sometimes means doing something extreme like take drugs and forget about our responsibilities and still have people say: “Getting high is alright as long as you do it moderately”. This is the world we live in, where everything is allowed. There are no more moral boundaries, no limitations and everybody’s excuse is that religion has pushed men to do more arms and stay away from “the truth”, so better be “free”
enough or confident enough that you can be trusted. As a child myself, it was complicated for me to trust individuals, because of all the deceit and lies, and unfaithfulness. I have experienced mistrust in my childhood and have seen now in my adulthood, even the more when I came in the church. For in the church, society people tend to be one way in the church and another way in the world. This causes one to be a hypocrite. I’ve seen so much hypocrisy in the body of Christ. I’ve experienced individuals
Treatise on Christian Liberty destroyed the motivation to live a morally good life would be an all too quick and equally false presumption. Rather, I feel that the opposite is true. In dealing with Luther's essay as well as my own personal beliefs I feel that Luther in fact strengthens every Christian's motivation for faith by way of grace and in relation, the use of works to exude an already present faith in Christ. Though it may seem that Luther shuns the idea of works he in fact presents, quite thoroughly
pleased that I can celebrate this Eucharist with you. We know that every Mass is a beautiful time of encounter with Jesus when we want to open our ears and eyes and listen to his voice. In today’s Gospel Mark will tell us the story of Jesus healing the deaf man who had a speech problem. And we would like to ask the Lord to help us to have eyes that see His gifts, ears that hear His Words, and love to respond. Let us confess our sins… Homily Every miracle that Jesus performed was unique. I think that
When you consider who the Holy Spirit is, something will stir up within your spirit. The more knowledge your spirit-man receives the stronger it will become and you become abundantly dependent towards the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the third person that bears witness in the Godhead. The book of Acts describes Him as “…a rushing mighty wind” (Acts 2:2). This is not just an ordinary Spirit that you have been sealed with, He is mighty and able to take down forces, He is rushing to fill you and
being read classic children’s books, like Maurice Sendak’s, “Where The Wild Things Are,” or Dr. Seuss’s, “Green Eggs and Ham,” which portray distinct personality traits within the main character and demonstrate evolution of self as the character acquires knowledge from his or her life experience. Like the characters within our favorite childhood books, each of us represents a malleable being whose shape can transform through the beautiful manifestation of God’s glory throughout our life journey.
