Gospel music is considered the original American folklore. Emery illustrates that gospel music spawned the creation of rock-n-roll, hip hop, and soul.

Just as God said He will meet us at our place of need, the Holy Spirit will guide us and mature us as we commit to spending time in and studying the Word, being mentored, and surrendering our lives to God. Becoming a disciple is a joint process between the person, the church, mentors and leaders, and the Holy Spirit. There is much to learn and adapt to in order to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. There is an expression that is used regarding raising children: “It takes a village.” This is also applicable in the making of a disciple. The local church is responsible for evangelizing within the community and reaching out to those who don’t know Christ.
Critical Analysis Paper I have observed and analyzed the sermon of the Reverend James B. Leonard of Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church of Little River, SC on November 6, 2011. Reverend Leonard has been a pastor for many years but has been the pastor of Mount Zion Methodist Episcopal Church for seven years. He is highly known for his numerous works in our church and in our community. I will be discussing the structure and content of his sermon, his vocal delivery, and my personal response to the message given. As the sermon began, Reverend Leonard began with a couple of verses from the bible Jeremiah 17: 7-8.
Mormon Church On Sunday September 22 I went to the Mormon Church in order to observe the way they conduct their religious ceremonies. I stayed there for the whole entire program which consisted of 3 hours and in each hour a different activity was held. The first hour was held in the very center of the church known as the chapel. Families are seated and ready for the program by 10:00. I noticed that the people attending this church are predominantly white middle or upper class families.
We see Him working through others in their ministry whether it be like the Billy Graham ministry, the different teachers through Liberty University Online teaching about the Bible. Another example of Gods involvement with mankind is the Holy Spirit. When Jesus left earth and ascended to Heaven, He sent the Holy Spirit to strengthen us and work in our lives to help to go out and bring others to Him. That is what I want to do. I want to show and tell others what He has done for me and what He can do for them.
REL 3000 24 April 2007 The Sermon on the Mount teaches us through Jesus Christ what God wants us to do. Jesus taught through God’s word and through example. His miracles touched many lives of nonbelievers, and his word was echoed throughout the land. Through his gospel, we are able to love, worship, and practice a life full of certainty. He taught us to be kind and not to judge, to treat our neighbors respectfully.
An Amish wedding ceremony is very similar to other wedding ceremonies. During the first song, the bridal party, ministers, bishops and deacons enter the church. During this time the bride and groom are instructed of their duties as husband and wife. At the end of the service the couple pledges their faith to one another. After the final pledge, everyone joins together for a feast.
Their main goal ounce again was to evangelize with the local people there about Christ. They stop many places including Iconium, Lystra and Derbe (Acts 13:13-20). They not only shared the gospel in these places, but they also established churches as well. Everywhere they traveled, one thing was obvious, they were evangelizing and preaching the word of God and raising people up to keep the church alive while they were gone. This tie in with Paul’s letter writing and even his epistles because everything he did even in later life was to help raise others up in the church and to save souls for the Kingdom of God.
