Theological Seminary LEAD Formation and Mission Jeff Knight 11/26/2012 “Jesus Creed” Response Paper The Jesus Creed has really helped me to look at Scripture from what I believe is a more biblical and Jesus centered perspective. While I have read the words Jesus used from Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Leviticus 19:18 many times in Scripture‚ I never considered how all His teachings might have stemmed from them.

Jesus Christ and International Leadership Around 27 BC a man by the name of Jesus of Nazareth came to be the son of God. Claiming that he was of the very essence and character of God‚ he astounded hundreds of followers.

God for answers I decided to talk about the following three topics: “Did Jesus Claim to be God?”‚ “Did Jesus need to be born of a virgin?”‚ and “What can your local church do to better communicate Gods love to your community?” There are many questions and concerns about these topics. Although there are a lot of debatable questions it is clear to see that Jesus did claim to be God. Did Jesus Claim to be God Jesus never said in the Bible “I am God”. He did however say in John 10:30 “I and

Now after reading this brief insight by Sister Mary‚ I have developed a newfound appreciation for this man because of the hardships he experienced early in his life. To overcome these adversities‚ Pope Benedict relied on his love and friendship with Jesus‚ the Beloved. He sets a great example for us Christians. I think that all of us have to take the time to learn more about him so we can all develop the appreciation for him like I did. His humbleness and loving character is something that all Christians

As I listened to the preacher give a sermon about the arrival of Jesus into Jerusalem. I could hardly wait for the event that was going to take place after church. The event was the reenactment of the arrival of Jesus into Jerusalem.

The Holy Week starts on Palm Sunday and Ends on Easter Sunday. Throughout the week
