The lectures on biblical narrative are very enlightening. They help one to understand the fusion between historical and cultural contexts, and literary contexts of the various biblical writings from creation and how these affect our understanding of the Bible and its application in our contemporary context.

YAHWEH CROWNED KING OF REDEMPTION

11/02/2024

The Bible has to faithfully be reviewed as one spiritually attributed life breathing story.Suddenly Adamic life is bestowed at the Eden of grace,it falls to sin that YHWH judges as death.This truth is exposed in Genesis 3 but in Genesis 4:25-26, Adam’s Seth sirs Enosh who obeys to build the Yahweh’s Church(ekklesia) and the God’s redemption visits that generation.However,there are ups and downs as narrated of former prophets to the latter prophets who are Joshua,Samuel,judges,Kings and Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the twelve respectively.Too,the israelites life takes curve from conquest to exile until the crescendo of Yahweh believed King redeems them through His sent messengers even of apostles as of good news turning points by mystery even to calling once gentiles like Saul to one gospel faith and baptism of chains of preaching grace of repentance to all men.(Matthew 28:19,Acts 9:1-13).

Truly,Christ is living amongst us even now saying I came to those who never sought me(Isaiah 65:1-2) and here He brings life to those willing to obey His will of truth of worship and qualify to eat the best from the land.(Isaiah 1:19,John 4:23).

Therefore,hear only Jesus word voice as the holy spirit presented to us in Matthew 3:17 and you will be planted in the whole land of Israel by Lord’s eternal deliverance never to be uprooted again from David’s Heavenly Ordained and Godly kingdom where Messiah the beloved chose to appear as mercy and love that endures forever amen.

Introduction to The Biblical Narrative

11/04/2024

One of the greatest strengths of studying the Word of God is its ability to speak across generations. The principles found within scripture remain relevant, offering wisdom for contemporary issues. The various translations available also make the Bible accessible, catering to different reading preferences and comprehension levels.

However, one weakness can be the complexity of certain passages, which may lead to confusion or misinterpretation without proper guidance. Additionally, some may struggle with the historical and cultural contexts that can be challenging to grasp.

In conclusion, Studying the Word of God is a rewarding endeavor that deepens one’s faith and understanding. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking spiritual growth, comfort, or guidance. Whether a seasoned believer or new to scripture, there is always something new to discover. The Bible not only transforms our understanding of God but also our relationships with others and ourselves. I hope that more people will embark on this journey, finding the profound truths that the Word of God offers.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE READ BIBLE TEXT AND APPLICATION

11/03/2024

The Bible read text interpretation by a community of believers should be treated as a whole text and not an isolation.The chosenscriptural text should target the audience explicitly and exhaustedly as a message and address the underlaying gospel issues to counsel,warn,redeem and grace the text preservation within historical, literary,social or geopolitical and cross cultural community of believers.Too,text if clauses,verbs used,adjectives,sounds as of slang words(Woop in Australia)should be considered their former or presently intended meaning to the audience.Moreover,complicated texts as 1Kings 18, Deuteronomy select chapter like 22,should be identified of the principle within and perhaps be summarised with a clearer and a short text expression for increased audience to target group leading to understanding.Still,expressions can take or loose a particularly intended meaning to the seen or foreseen audience formerly existing, currently or living in God’s believe in that future of their faith life.Ie:1Timothy 6:10,”Money is the root form of all evils,”may not be true to all locations or groups applications for there are various portions of evils caused and not effected by money yet they are evils,to exemplify:prostitution,drugs and substance abuse,human ignorance to lead procrastination of activities,”Pastor,Jenii saying that she will preach when she wants…”

Eventually and ideally,let the studied text be united as a reading,evaluative and an applied communicate writing to the targeted audience while importing and exporting the best meaning of the scriptural select write up.Thank you.

The truth is that I have learnt a lot that I did not know about how to analyze and apply the Bible, looking for clues, Historical context, surely I have been blessed and my approach to the Bible has changed to better understanding of the scriptures with what I have learnt.

How Andrew Groza explained our role in God’s narrative humbled me that apart from his grace and mercy, I am nothing. The modules made me realised that there is a lot to do to reach out lost souls… that I’m one of those called to do the work of God.

May God bless you and empower you more Andrew! Continue to be a blessing!

Opening the door of Pastoral Care

10/17/2024

It’s natural isn’t it – the more mature you become as a Christian the more you seek to help people, after all it was what Jesus was all about. Then you think ‘Well am I the right person to do that?’

This unit has been a thought provoking, prayer inspiring process of learning about my own gifts, drivers and abilities when thinking about Pastoral Care. It has been so valuable to be taken through both the practical and spiritual considerations to be made when deciding if you should engage with the important role of caring for other people.

It has been incredibly helpful to be taken through the DISC personality test and then applying that to a potential team situation. Being reminded of my personality type made me so much more aware of how I work, communicate, handle conflict and want to be treated myself. This subject certainly reminded me of issues that I would need to be careful of when working in a team.
