The story of the rich man in the Gospel of Mark (10:17-22) is a rather sad story from Mark’s gospel. It is the only time in the gospels that someone rejects Jesus’ direct invite to become one of his disciples. It is also a great non-example for Christians to recognize, if they desire to become true disciples of God. This pericope from Mark directly follows Jesus’ blessing of the children, in which he rebukes the disciples, who try to keep the children away from touching him. Jesus, rather than pushing

In the second part of Neil Postman’s book, Amusing Ourselves to Death, the author examines the medium of education in order to exhibit how it has affected and fashioned modern public discourse. Postman uses a two-part argument on the topic of the influence that television has over education. In order to properly demonstrate the authors view and evidence on this subject of discourse, as well as my own, I will explore how television presents education as well as how exactly television has managed to

together in a united effort to stop God 's people from entering into their country. Instead their defiance of God 's will was met with utter devastation. No one could stand up to the power behind the Israelite army. Israel held tightly to the Laws of Moses doing everything commanded. Because of each man 's faithfulness a supernatural ability took over each fighting soldier giving them the ability to stand and defeat a thousand men. Leviticus 26:7&8, "You will be victorious over your enemies; five of

Zora Neale Hurston’s Moses Man of the Mountain is one of the most successful novels where she expresses various characteristics of an ideal leader through her main character Moses. At the same time, she addresses other leaders such as Aaron and Miriam and explains how they fail to contribute as leaders because of their selfish attitudes. Hurston highlights Moses as an old man with great lawgiver. In her novel, Hurston turns the biblical character Moses into a spiritual African –American leader who

nothing. According to the Exodus there were a group of slaves who fled Egypt and where led by a prophet named Moses, who also is the proclaimed author of the book. These people where on a mission to find the promise land where they can be free from oppression and create their own civilization. These claims are true are still debated to this day, but the text was written around the 1400 B.C. Moses intentions for Exodus were to set laws for his new community to a group of people who had only knew lives

- What is the historical setting and how much of it does your sermon require? Israelites were free from slavery (which is what exodus means), and Moses took them to the place where the Lord had said to him to confront Pharaoh in his name. Then, they were in the wilderness of Paran known also as Sinai, or Horeb. In this “second stage,” they were waiting for God’ Law to know how to behave in different circumstances in life.

Of course, there are no mistakes in God’s Word; nonetheless, there are those who have tried to discredit its message and they

the Book of Exodus. The movie display Moses’ struggles that ultimately lead him to discover his true identity and true purpose. Since the movie is a retelling of a Biblical story, it shared both similarities and differences in comparison to the Bible.

1) Prophets played such an important role in the time of the Old testament. It is because of these prophets, that we have so much of our prophetic literature through the Old Testament today. They played an integral role throughout the life and history of Israel. We can see through numerous situations throughout the Old Testament that the prophets were a catalyst for change occurring in the land/people of Israel. According to David L. Peterson in his book, "The Prophetic Literature", a reason as to
