The Part I Play in the Kingdom

PART ONE: My Fit in Ministry (Before): The ministry path I have been pursuing is youth ministry. The reason for youth ministry is I believe that you should start at ground level with kids when teaching kids about God. I feel that kids won’t have as many bad habits as adults and are more willing to learn about God and understand. The other part of ministry that I am involved in is marriage. I haven’t married anyone as of yet but I am licensed to do so. I am still studying the laws and the traditions of marriage. Going back to why I choice youth ministry is that most churches see investing in the next generation as somehow optional or only for big or rich churches, but I tend to disagree because as older generations die there is a need for the youth to fill those spots and the youth have a right to learn about and be able to walk in the light of God. With old the younger generations learning about Jesus and God and their stories the religion will slowly fade and the truths will be losted. A good youth ministry infrastructure begins with compiling basic tools like accurate information about the kids in the church, a list of youth ministry volunteers, a yearly calendar of major events, and a curriculum plan. There so also be a formulate visioning documents that states the mission. I see that the children are the key hole for the key of heaven to fit into for them to see God’s glory for all that it is. My main point is that I know God has a plan for me and I feel the pull to go into youth ministries because I’m out spoken and I am a leader. I can tell the truth when it is needed the most and I can build relationships with young people. I also have been helping people for most of my life like a life coach. For the longest time people have came to me to fix their issues or help them with advice. I have very good insight and can think on my toes. I can’t really tell you too much about youth

    This mission reminds us that for the Kingdom of God to continue to break in, individual lives need to be changed, while being motivated and equipped for transformation. Our Book of Discipline offers this cue: “God has used our church to save persons, heal relationships, transform social structures, and spread scriptural holiness, thereby changing the world.” When we change lives and introduce people to the all-loving nature of God, we indeed transform the world. When making disciples, the Church welcomes people into community, educates them on God’s call for Christians, and equips them toward using their spiritual gifts to serve as change agents playing a role in bringing about the Kingdom of…

    Throughout life we all make perceptions and have outlooks on how things should be. The issue is that we make these without understanding and completely seeing the overall details about the subject. After reading the book “Authentic Spiritual Mentoring,” by Larry Kreider I have come to the conclusion that the subject of mentoring has the tendency to fall into that category. Discipleship programs are present in the church, but unfortunately I do not think that many churches look at spiritual mentoring quite in the same way as proposed in the book. I feel that the church now more than ever has a crucial need for spiritually mature men and women to mentor younger believers. In order for these younger…

    Relocation: I hope and pray that as I continue to grow through this course and focus on my responsibilities that come with the position I must be willing to give of myself whole-heartedly to accomplish the task of helping to lead people into all that God would desire them to be. I understand that apart from the Holy Spirit I will not be effective in this ministry. Rather, I must be completely submitted to the Spirit and His leadership in order to be effective as a faithful minister and pastor to lead the sheep entrusted to him.…

    Lori, I truly enjoyed your interview response on Reverend Jennifer Beagle. I can agree with her statement on developing a ministry, “It’s a battle worth fighting, suit-up, buckle-up, and don’t doubt that God is in everything. Find God in every circumstance and view people as creations”. (Beagle, 2015) Just as the varying parts of the human body need each other to best accomplish its work, so the Body of Christ needs to function interdependently, like a team. (Rom. 12:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:12-27) God so designed the Church that it "grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work". (Eph. 4:16) Christian leaders are servants. Jesus specifically addresses servant leadership…

    Ministry is a loosely defined term. A.W. Tozer once said, “It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it.” This is at the heart of “knowing ministry.” Teaching is a sacred act. Destroying ignorance is a sacred mission entrusted to people of good will. The reason I decided to pursue this field education opportunity because Dr. Ewing understands this concept.…

    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. I did not know Jesus had amended the Shema of Judaism because I didn’t know there was a Shema before reading this book, but now knowing this I can more clearly see what Jesus was doing. He was correcting a misunderstanding how some used and understood the Torah. Most paid excellent attention to the letter of the Law; however they had failed to grasp the message that God had called them to partake in His redemptive mission. Just as the Israelites got tangled up with the letter of the Law and missed their calling, are we as the Church today also failing to answer the same call? I believe it’s far too easy to make a case that we are, especially in America. Jesus redefines what it means to love God, instead of showing love to God by observing the Torah, Jesus calls people to follow Him, and in doing so He equates loving God to having a personal relationship with Himself thereby amending the Shema, making it personal. Next, He adds to the Shema by using a Leviticus passage saying “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love of God and love of others is the core of Jesus’ Shema and loving God means following Jesus. McKnight believes the Jesus Creed is the foundation of everything Jesus teaches about spiritual formation and after having read his book I have to say I agree. Everything Jesus does is out of love for God and for others as illustrated time and time again throughout the Gospels.…

    When talking about what all you need to do in order to work in this field, he said you need faith and a willing heart to work wherever needed in the church. I have also been working in the church from age twelve, and I completely agree with having to work wherever in the church. I went from working in children’s church, running the sound system at age eleven, to helping run the Jungle Gym room, ages three to five. I didn’t really want to work in the jungle gym but they really needed it, so I agreed to. Taking that position was probably the best thing for me. That’s what gave me a passion for…
