JAME 223 James 223                                                                                3 Credit Hours
The purpose of the book of James is to expose hypocritical practices and to teach right Christian behavior. James, Jesus’ brother, was a leader in the
Jerusalem church The book was probably written around A.D. 49, prior to the Jerusalem council held in A.D. 50. This letter expresses James’s concern for persecuted Christians who were once part of the Jerusalem church. Talk is cheap, as we see from advertisement and too often, we soon realize that the boasts were hollow, quite far from the truth. From Heaven comes the message of Christian conduct to James. He shares with the church how Christians should conduct themselves. He sees the need of being faithful, even in the midst of offence, hardships and even death. Do not be offended. It will stop the flow of the Holy Spirit working in believers; only through continued faithfulness, can sinners be converted and brought into the Kingdom of God .

To the church at Rome , Paul begins his message by vividly portraying the sinfulness of all mankind, explaining how forgiveness is available through faith in Christ.

PARA 303 Parables 303                                                                            3 Credit Hours
A parable is a comparison between a familiar fact and a spiritual truth. As used in the Scripture, the parable involves the idea of comparison. Jesus used simple word-pictures to help people understand who God is and what his kingdom or reign is like. Jesus used images and characters taken from everyday life to create a miniature play or drama to illustrate his message. This was Jesus’ most common way of teaching. His stories appealed to the young and old, poor and rich, and to the learned and unlearned as well. Over a third of the Gospels by Matthew, Mark, and Luke contain parables told by Jesus. Jesus loved to use illustrations to reach the heart of his listeners through their imagination. These word-pictures challenged the mind to discover anew what God is like and moved the heart to make a response to God's love and truth. Our Lord achieved lasting renown through the use of teaching through parables.  History states that during the time of Jesus on earth, parables were often used to demonstrate a point.  The parables of Jesus are superb in their aptness, conciseness, and appeal. Although He did not create this type of teaching, He endowed it with high originality and gave it a deeper spiritual import and dimension hither to unknown. Today, the story telling method of teaching is commonly practiced in many cultures. Let us be advised as to what Jesus is conveying to us through the use of parables.

THPO387 Power Of For Giveness                                                             3 Credit Hours
Jesus gives a startling warning about forgiveness: if we refuse to forgive others, God will also refuse to forgive us. Why? Because when we don’t forgive others, we are denying our common ground as sinners in need of God’s forgiveness. God’s forgiveness of sin is not the direct result of our forgiving others, but it is based on our realizing what forgiveness means (see Ephesians 4:32). It is easy to ask God for forgiveness, but difficult to grant it to others. Whenever we ask God to forgive us for sin, we should ask ourselves, “Have I forgiven the people who have wronged me?” This study reveals many aspects of forgiveness. Forgive and you shall be forgiven.
