...Hannah Smith CHMN 201-[D06] 4/20/15 Church Leadership and Ministry Evaluation Paper For this paper, I did a self-evaluation. 1. Would you say that your congregation (or the people within your particular department or area of ministry) is “Living Out the Mind of Christ” (i.e. Unity, Humility, Selflessness) as they interact, serve, and minister to/with each other? How specifically do you as a ministry leader teach, cultivate, and maintain “The Mind of Christ” in your area of ministry? My area of ministry ranges from grades 6-12. At these young ages, students are still trying to find themselves. As they do so, they crave and desire a relationship with God. My team and I are very dedicated to teaching them that they are all united as one, and God loves each of them individually. This unity will hopefully teach them that they can lean on fellow believers their age and grow spiritually together. 2. Would you consider yourself a “Wounded Healer?” Also, would you please share an example where you have ministered to a person who is/was “wounded” in the same manner that you once were? (Cf. II Corinthians 1:3-5) Yes, I consider myself a wounded healer. I went through a physically and emotionally abusive relationship about three years ago. In going through this, I learned to find my self worth in God before I looked to others. I have been able to use my story to capture many girls in toxic relationships. One in particular was a girl my own age. She had been dating a guy...

...afforded us many opportunities for growth both personally and professionally. This is evident in the world of online education. For online students, practicing self-discipline is imperative because it is necessary for a successful education and self-discipline helps you stay goal-oriented. In this paper, I will review for you what the article I read says about self-discipline as well as self-regulation, how that affects the online learner, and keys to success in the online learning world. Studies have shown that students who self-regulate and use self-discipline reach higher academic achievement. One particular article compares self-regulation and self-discipline. The article states, “An array of measures of SR (self-regulation) and SD (self-discipline) were gathered from high school students and were transformed into separate composite measures.” The study found that they were also able to predict the grades of these students, which tells me that self-discipline is a trait that will help me in my studies as an online student. Various questionnaires were used to test SR and SD. Results showed that there was a correlation between students who used self-discipline and their higher GPA. Gender did not make a difference. It is very clear that having a strong sense of self-discipline can aide you in online college success....

...Worksheet 1.1 Reflect on These Success Factors Motivation: What motivates me most to pursue a college degree? My #1 motivation for pursuing my college degree is my family. I have now realized that the 3 little faces I have to look at everyday motivates me to continue and finish my education. I express to them how important education is but I too must be an example. I have to “practice what I preach.” I would also love to pursue my dream of becoming an Educator and not feel like I failed at earning my degree. PURPOSE: What is my main purpose in seeking a college degree? My main purpose of seeking a degree is to realize my dream of becoming a Pre-K Teacher. First of all, I love kids and it has always been my dream and passion to be an educator. Teachers have a very important role of shaping the lives of youth children. I was not able to finish my degree when I was younger because I was not mentally prepared for college. I gave-up my dream to get married and start a family. Only now after 15+ years am I mentally ready and determined to finish what I started. VALUES: What values am I demonstrating by seeking my college degree? The value I am demonstrating in seeking my college degree is determination. Being determined is having made a firm decision and being resolved not to change it. I have had to change my way of thinking and realize I wasn’t prepared to be in college at 18. I was a small town Christian girl and college was scary to me. Going back home to my small...

...4:2; 1 Tim. 1:3; Eph. 4:1). [pp. 7-9] • The basic question for every sermon is whether it produced change in the lives of the hearers. “…we can no longer evaluate our sermons solely on the basis of theological or exegetical soundness.…we must purpose to evaluate every sermon we preach in light of the biblical change it brings about in the lives of our congregants!” [pp. 9-10] Chapter 2 — “Adopt a Life-changing Method of Preaching” • A definition of expository preaching: it will have these primary components — 1. it clearly derives its content from the Bible; 2. it accurately explains what the Bible is saying; and 3. it effects the change God intends for the Bible to effect. [p. 15] • “To truly derive our messages from the Bible means that we are going to the Bible to find out what we will say. In the end the preacher does not use the Bible to preach his own message; instead, it is the Bible that uses the preacher to preach its message.” [p. 16] • True expository preaching will call for life-change.

...Islamic Worksheet Elisa Gil World Traditions II Teacher April 14, 2014 When studying Islam, it is important to understand the essential elements of the faith, how they are practiced, and the distinctions among the three branches: Shiite Islam, Sunni Islam, and Sufism. Write a 1- to 2-paragraph response for each of the following directives and note where there are differences among the three branches of Islam. I. Explain the meaning of the name, Islam. The Muslim’s tried to introduce Islam as a religion. Islam is an Arabic word, which they tried to make people believe that this word means peace and that it rejects violence with compliance and obedience to their God. In this religion they established violence, it’s like they need violence in their life. When talking about the total submission to Allah and complete obedience to their law, their connection between the original religious words is strong and obvious. Because only to the submission and obedience to Allah his Law of peace can be achieved. As for the word Salam, it has nothing in common with the word Islam. Islam means submission, or compliance. Islam originated from the infinitive of Salama which means to be saved or escape from danger. Salam also means peace. II. Explain the basic concepts of Islam. The Islam’s have fourteen basic concepts. The Concept of faith (Iman), The Concepts of Righteousness (Birr), The Concept of Piety (Taquwa), The concept of the...

...King's peace (pg 31-32) Witan (pg 8) Doom ( pg 10) Doomsday book (pg 42-43) ritualized expression of jurisdictional theory; used to invoke royal court jurisdiction. encapsulated a long historical development. in early German history there was virtually no public law of crime. Victims or kin would retaliate for wrongs against them. Anglo saxon kings promoted measures to substitute money payments in restitution. Concept of the king's peace enabled monarchs to develop what amounted to a public law as a wrong against the king. From Germanic law - notion of man's "peace" surrounded his person & home. to disturb either was offense that justified him in repelling the breach. King as a semi-sacred figured - anyone who attacked him was guilty of a more serious crime. As the King's power grew, his peace was extended to religious shrines & people. By extending his peace, king brought them protection - attacking them was like attacking the king. By Norman times, the king's peace had expanded to royal officers & to highways over which the king traveled. Over time, it was projected over his entire realm. It was generalized into a jurisdictional principle - that jurisdiction over serious crime belonged to the king's courts. Criminal manners became know as placita coronae = pleas of the crown. That jurisdiction had a monopoly over jurisdiction for major crime. The remainder, lesser issues were punished in the hundred courts & in the manors of the towns. (pg 31-32) The king consulted...
