I asked my Step-Father, he realized that I knew nothing about the church. He started to question me and saw that I always have assumed it was just family and friends gathering around and sharing the stories at nice brick building. On that night, he took his time to introduce me to Jesus Christ and explained about how He created the Earth and His life on the Earth. After that, he made sure that I had a Sign Language Interpreter at our church for the rest of my life. For twenty years, I was very involved in my church such as serving, praying, signing, and teaching.

On Saturday evenings my parents alongside my brothers and I would have street meeting opposite the market place in Arima where we engaged in singing and my father preaching the gospel encouraging people to surrender their lives to Jesus. My brothers and I used to enjoy giving out tracks to people (man, woman or child). We were very brave as children never afraid of ridicule or our friends laughing at us. Everyday my mom would wake us at 5.00am in the morning to have family devotion. My parents took turns in administering the scriptures and gave us a scripture verse to learn after which we would hold hands and pray.
Running head: JESUS: A GALILEAN TRILOGY Jesus: A Galilean trilogy Jack Robertshaw Grand Canyon University BIB123 New Testament History 09/13/2009 Jesus: A Galilean trilogy Jesus begins his ministry in earnest when he chooses his inner circle of twelve disciples. For eighteen months Jesus would travel the land of Galilee with his new ministry. He would introduce teachings designed to reveal what it would be like to have the Kingdom of God present on earth. He would minister to nearly every aspect of human need. He fed the hungry, raised the dead, calmed the seas, cast out demons and most importantly he taught with a new authority, his own 1.
He believes that people need to be taught the word “of God”, conviction can take place so the counselee can repent of his sins, be set free, and change will take place. With the theory that Adams developed God’s word is the only way to receive the truth of God, psychology is an outside source and has nothing to offer when trying to help a person to change based on truth. According to Adams changing people or sinners from the inside out is not done by education alone, but by prayer, reproof, and encouragement (p. 65). Scripture is the way to obtain quick results where true
The Experience As I walked into St. Patrick Catholic Church with my boyfriend’s family on Sunday morning I realized right away that I was in a church very different from my own. The church itself was much larger than my own and had very beautiful stained glass windows. The service began with all the parishioners seated but then they stood and started singing as a precession of people came in and Father Tim, the priest, was the last to walk in the procession to the Alter. I did not know most of the songs throughout the service, so I just stood while my boyfriend and his family sang. My boyfriend is African American and I am Caucasian, so I assumed the Catholic Church he attended would be primarily African American, so I was a little nervous about how people would perceive me and my boyfriend.
The Holy Spirit is important in causing the change and the Word of God is the source of helping the client to become Christ -like. According to Adams (1986), this change must be toward God and must be “from the heart outward” (p. 7). If not, then the change is just superficial and it will eventually lead the client further astray. The very backbone of his counseling is 2 Timothy 3:16, which states: ," But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work"(NIV, 2010).
Each one of us is called by God and the basis of that calling is set out in Matthew 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” We can see clearly from Matthew 28:19 that each of us who have been born again, water baptised and filled with the Holy Spirit have a direct and unmistakable calling from God to serve Him in ministry. The question is not whether we have a calling but what does the outworking of that calling look like in our lives? We have the logos Word of God for us as stated in Matthew 28:19 but the logos with out the revealed Rhema Word of God will have no power in our lives. So how do we hear this Rhema Word? 1) A supernatural encounter - Saul of Tarsus was a zealous man who thought he was doing the will of God by persecuting this sect called “The Way” but God intervened and Saul had a supernatural encounter with God on that Damascus road.
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” (The Holy Bible John 13:34) Jesus teaches this commandment to his disciples. Jim Casy tries to live this way by preaching and showing others that God cares. In The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck shows Casy as a prime example of Christ-likeness during the Great Depression. Through his commitment to save mankind and by living a life that reflected Jesus Christ; he shows others how to live like him.
