Pastor Dave Galbraith : A Credible Speaker

I would believe that the use of more pictures of the homeless in their day to day situation would have made his presentation even stronger, maybe visiting a soup kitchen during feeding hours. The delivery of his speech would have been stronger if he did not stand in front of the screen but in the middle of the

I had the privilege of interviewing Brian Bagwell for this project. He is, in my opinion, one of most humble, wisest man we have at Church of the Highlands. Once you get through a joke or two, the fruits of the spirit radiate from his personality. A man that I have the privilege to call my mentor and teacher. He is currently serving on staff at the Church of the Highlands as a Dream Team Coordinator. His shares the vision of the church which is passed down from our senior pastor, Chris Hodges. Evangelism is the definition of the church so to speak, Church of the Highlands stands behind the final authority of God’s word which is the bible. It is often said among the staff “we do not argue the essentials, but we can disagree the non essentials.” The church believes and acts in spreading the good news of Jesus Christ, and helping people move through four steps our God has outlined in the Great Commission. Our Church exists to see people saved, delivered, redeemed, and fulfilled. This is accomplished with four systems that allow the people to move through the four steps. The first is weekend services to allow them to know God (saved), small groups to find freedom (delivered), growth track to discover purpose (redeemed), and dream team to be fulfilled and make a difference (fulfilled). This vision is how the church evangelizes (Bagwell). This vision is clear to all members of the church who call Church of the Highlands home, and even clear to people

James Myers is the pastor at the East Campus of Biltmore Baptist Church. Myers has been employed with BBC for the past 4 years and has a Master’s Degree in Christian Education. He and his wife, Michelle, live in Asheville with their 2 children, Noah and Cole, and are expecting their third child, a girl, due in August. Myers says he is very lucky to be a part of this church because they have an extensive network of employees, including a group of licensed therapists located in the Hope Network.

Jennifer, great discussion post on humility as a leader. After reading your introduction to the class I can see that you are working as a Human Resources Specialist at a Technical College, and love NASCAR. Let’s narrate today’s professions as a demonstration in this arena with the concept of a humble leader.

Pastor used many stories and examples to convince the congregation to agree with his message on faith tested. Pastor also used other scriptures as evidence to support his message • Pathos: arguments that appeal to the emotions. Pastors speaks with confidence and have the ability to control the audience with using comedy. As a speaker, Pastor has mastered the skill of tapping positive emotion, which allows the congregation to relax and enjoy the message. Write your own code of ethics for public speaking.

I am in the process of attempting to secure Rev. Charles Jackson pastor of Guiding Light Baptist Church in Fulton, MO. I do not have a current contact number for him. I attempted to contact him using the Church number and apparently it’s not the right number. If I do not reach him by this evening, I will contact my second choice which is Rev. Charlie Wright, pastor of Second Baptist Church, Fayette, Mo. If you have any suggestions for the speaker please let me know.

Slaker’s speech was very informative and extremely effective. At the beginning of the speech, Slaker made some jokes about one of Bethany’s current professors and showed her audience pictures of her time at Bethany. By doing those things, Slaker made herself seem more relatable to her audience, who was mostly faculty and students of Bethany. Another way Slaker made her speech

He organized the message into an introduction, body, and conclusion. The introduction mentioned the message, the body used biblical passages to emphasize his point, and the conclusion restated and reviewed the key points of the overall message to the audience. There were not really noticeable transition statements that he made, but the presentation still seemed to have a decent flow that was easy to follow and understand, without harsh jumps from section to section.

I really clicked with the last speaker, Reverend Jae Quinlan. I am not sure if it is because we are soul sisters from a past life, or because we share the same name, but I adored her persona. Upon reflection, I wasn’t too sure what the overall message of her speech was. I really enjoyed her different perspective on religion, and engaging with a feminist pastor was refreshingly different. In the essay entitled “Religion” in Critical Terms for the Study of Gender, Regina Schwartz discusses the evolution of religious belief, highlighting that “the wide range of meanings of religion has tended to be more productive than confusing for religions, affording opportunities for change within cultural formations that would otherwise be stable and conservative”, making these rigid belief systems

As kidney failure and resulting complications ended Father’s life at age 103 on July 18, 1990, still at the Ramkota, where he had been so contented in his last years. He was comfortable and peaceful as he quietly slipped away. Bishop Paul Dudley of Sioux Falls, who had called upon him a number of times, administered the last sacraments to Father to assist him on his final journey. He often said he was ready to go and join his beloved wife Julia, and so at last his wish was granted.

Fry Brown assertion that the preached word is not just what the preacher says or the content, but also “how” the information is relayed and presented to the audience. Dr. Fry Brown presented her position that, “The role of the preacher is to assist the listeners in the identification of spiritual, social, cultural, psychological, and economic issues that have an impact on daily life.” Additionally, “The content of the sermon may be excellent, the context fully understood, the exegesis may lead biblical scholars to cheer, but a weak delivery can overshadow all the preliminaries.” Fry Brown furthered her presentation by outlining active elements in the act or presentation, such as Communicating the word, Inculturating the word, Voicing the word, Articulating the word, Embodying the word, and Animating the

Pastor Steve is a wonderful preacher. However, this is the first church I have been at where the associate pastors don’t speak unless the head pastor is out of town. I enjoy all the different ways that each of the pastors preach, and I would enjoy an opportunity for them to speak more.

Jim Lynn teaches what is in his book. He has a teaching ministry of healing to the local church. In this section he believes that church-sponsored healing ministries would revolutionize the view that the world has of the church. He states that “we are quick to dismiss healing that involves faith because our culture has no place for the active presence of God operating in our physical world. The same goes for Satan being the cause of suffering – the world rejects it, science demands it, and our culture embraces it.” (p. 218) The cares of this world have crowded out the seed of faith in healing leaving only the secular medical community as the place to go. We, as the church, offer nothing more than any other charitable humanitarian organization,

After several years his family and mine became close and Pastor Travis always made sure to look out for my sister and I. He became a positive male role model in our lives and made sure that we did well in school and hung out with people who would also make positive impacts in our lives. Due to his involvement in my life I became heavily involved in my church and took on many responsibilities by the time I was in 8th grade. I also went on numerous trips with him and fellow youth group student's to places like Ocean City, Orlando, Rocky Mount,and Honduras. On each trip I evolved into a better version of myself and that was due to the expectations and values that Travis had taught me to hold myself to.

The most interesting part last week was Dr. McDowell's videos. The Atheist Challenge was by far my favorite. One of the problems that we face today is the tendency to get defensive when our beliefs are being questioned. We sometimes forget that we are supposed to lovingly remind non-believers that having a close relationship with God is great and we want them to benefit from that relationship. Dismissing their beliefs because we feel they are wrong or lead the wrong lifestyle is only alienating them from the church. The fact of the matter is that no one likes when their beliefs are denegrated. We should try our best to be civil regardless of our differing beliefs. Common courtesy goes a long way. There were times that I wished he would stop
