questions or reflections to research for my second paper in Theology 104. The first question that I chose to reflect on was, did Jesus need to be born of virgin? Yes Jesus, in my opinion, did need to be born of a virgin. If Jesus had not been born of a virgin, we possibly would have not known of his existence because in the Bible it say’s Jesus was born of a virgin this makes him a God-Man, he is both a son of man and the son of God. If God had been born only as a son of God Jesus would not been
Experiential Learning Activity The experiential learning activity I will be participating in is attending Mass at a Catholic church. In attending this experience, I hope to better understand the spiritual needs of a Catholic individual so I can apply that in my daily nursing experience. This experiential learning activity will also help to dispel any misconceptions I have about this religion in particular, so I can provide better nursing care. In the end, I hope to apply the knowledge I have learned
Tools of Research & Reflection – Listening To Needs Of Poverty Fall 2014 By: Charmaine Warford The tools of research and reflection available to the church to ensure it is listening deeply to the needs of the poor, prisoners, the blind and the oppressed are many and varied.

Outline what Jesus must have meant when he used the term: ‘Kingdom of God’. The term ‘Kingdom of God’ (or as is otherwise referred to as ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ in Matthew's Gospel) is mentioned throughout the Four Gospels. Over the centuries many scholars have reached the same conclusion that the central theme of Jesus’ message regards the ‘Kingdom of God.’ But what did Jesus mean by this term? This essay aims to discuss the meaning of the term ‘Kingdom of God’ and what Jesus must have meant
metaphor for all of the church 's leadership which includes the laity. The church is led by pastors, deacons, and some laity that all work together to be ministers of the gospel in the world. Personal Reflection From this article, I gained a greater understanding of the practical application of theology in leadership. The author makes the points that it is a mistake to believe that the more something is theological makes it less practical. From the time of the first century, church leaders have had a
What is the mission of the church in the city? Before Jesus left this world he commissioned the church to take God’s redemptive message around the world, which includes the urban centers of the world. Jesus instruction was to make disciples all over the world. When Jesus spoke these words, he was giving the church her marching orders, just as an invading army conquering territory the church is called to do battle with the forces of evil in the city.

Church locally is an ever dimming light, the message of God’s love and desire for reconciliation is being constrained within the walls and individuals. God has

n Reflection Paper May 3, 2012 Theo 104 by Natasha S Morris Introduction This course has taught me what it really means to be a Christian. I must admit I was not born into a Christian home, as I got older I started to learn about God and Jesus Christ. My mother did teach me right from wrong but going to church and learning of God was not a priority in my home. Taking this course has taught me that being a Christian is more than just being a
