The first reading this week is by Jeremiah‚ Chapter 20 verses seven through nine. It describes the agony that we go through when we are forced to be silent about what we believe in. Jeremiah describes this feeling

Compare the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20 with the one in Luke 24:44- 49. What are the differences? What are the similarities? Which commission is harder for you to obey? What do you need to work on to be more like Jesus? Matthew 28 is probably the most recited version of the Great Commission. I think this is probably because it emphasizes the goal of making disciples. Jesus explains that this is going to occur through the church and will include people from every tribe and every nation

Paper #1 The song I interpreted for this paper is “Shake Me Like A Monkey” by Dave Matthews Band‚ which is on the Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King album. I chose this song because I have been a huge Dave Matthews Band fan ever since my friend introduced me to them in middle school. They have always had a jazzy/rock very unique sound which is unlike most of the bands out there.
