Disciple

based off the Gospel of Matthew is almost misleading because the movie alters and cuts so much content from Matthew involving the political turmoil and Crucifixion. Instead, the movie chooses to solely focus on the interactions between Jesus and his disciples which primarily consists of reenactments of Jesus’ parables. In this way, Godspell is more a movie on Jesus as a person and teacher forming a friendship with his followers rather than a retelling of his divinity. This is what makes Godspell…

Professor Dumbledore. He was a half-blood which is a muggle (human) as well as a wizard. Besides, Professor Dumbledore was also described as an epitome of goodness.

corrected or else the church will not be able to make more disciples. Today's society needs disciples desperately, but it is difficult to find depth in such a superficial world with many people who claim to be Christians but refuse to follow Christ. "When the majority of Christians are immature in their faith, is it any wonder few want to be Christians?" (Putman, 89). Evangelism is not the goal it is the first step in making new disciples. When the church…

wilderness for 40 days to be tested and tempted by satan. Jesus returns and shares the good news to the townspeople. He then traveled to Galilee where he started picking men whom he wanted as disciples. With the chosen 12, Jesus started traveling from town to town sharing…

that He would choose a few men in whom He would invest His time. Over the course of three years, He would teach these men the principles which would lead to worldwide salvation of multitudes. The principles which governed Jesus’ teaching to the disciples were: 1) Selection; 2) Association; 3) Consecration; 4) Impartation; 5) Demonstration; 6) Delegation; 7) Supervision; and 8) Reproduction. On these eight principles, God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, realized His grand purpose to redeem for…

healthy church must encompass the practices of both evangelism and discipleship. Evangelism is the real business of life and that is getting souls saved , while discipleship helps to create other disciples. The cycle continues as people receive salvation, grow spiritually, mature, and go and make disciples. This consistent process builds a healthy body which is modeled after the body of Christ. Dave Earley and Rod Dempsey shares, “a healthy church is a representation of…

These disciples were to learn Jesus teaching so when he died they would go out and preach the gospel of God and save as many people from going to hell. Many have dug in deeper on the subject of the number of disciples Jesus really had. One was missing from the twelve as evidence has revealed. The research many have done have, in fact, found evidence of Jesus teaching Mary Magdalene as a disciple. Mary Magdalene followed Jesus wherever he went. This…

Supper. Jesus sends John and Peter into Jerusalem to set up a Passover meal for Jesus to share with his disciples. One really interesting aspect of this chapter that I didn't realize was how Stein said that Jesus set up the Last Supper in secrecy. It is suspected by Stein that Jesus wanted to hide the meal from Judas to delay that betrayal and the crucifixion so he could meet with his disciples and let them know what was about to transpire and why everything would happen. I think that this was…

After feeding more than five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish, the disciples were told to get onto boat as Jesus went to the mountains to pray. While Jesus was coming back from the mountain he and disciples realizes the boat’s distance from land. Unfortunately the aggressive waves made it difficult to return to Jesus, so Jesus began walking on water towards the boat. Of course the disciples became astonished all at once, and realized Jesus was truly the Human One, the Son…

inferiority is fallacious especially if people understood how amicably Jesus treated women. Jesus treated women equally regardless of what others thought, and this is shown through the way he treated women like his mother, Mary Magdalene, and the female disciples. Jesus appreciated the simple things in life and was…
