This is important to church growth both physically and spiritually. Through ministry more people decide to join the church causing the physical population of it to grow. However, it also allows the people of the church, us, to get a better understanding of the believes within our religion.

    I hope to one day either be a professional working in vocational ministry in the United Methodist Church or in clinical psychology. Ever since I was very young I have been enthralled by Christian teachings and doing good in the world. In high school, I had the opportunity to work hands on in ministry at my high school through multiple avenues: leading small groups, talking to peers one-on-one, and even giving sermon messages. It was through this that I have come to realize that I love being a part of ministry. When I decided to start considering career paths it only made sense that I would pursue what I already have a great interest in.

    The Church in the 1500’s In the 1500’s, the Catholic Church had gained a lot of political power, “There was no legal alternative” (Trueman, 2017).

    My Catholic education means so much to me, because if I did not have it I would not be the person I am today. I am so glad that I have the ability to attend a Catholic school, and also attend mass each week. Not everyone has the opportunity to attend a Catholic school and learn many things like I do. Without my Catholic education I would not be able to attend school mass each week with my friends, have religion class and learn about my faith everyday, and most importantly, I would not be able to talk about my faith and God freely in religion class or with my friends. Being able to attend mass each week is just one of the things that I am thankful for.

    960 Words  | 4 Pages

    As Roman Catholics, it is our religious duty to serve others whether those people are a part of our religious community or whether they are from any other type of community. Service is an important aspect of life for not only Catholics but also every single person in the world. By performing various acts of service in our communities, a person’s life can be greatly improved just through a simple act of kindness and love from the person’s heart. Not only can an act of service be beneficial to the person or organization that the volunteer is performing the service for, but it can also be beneficial to the person who is partaking in this act of service for another human being. No matter your age, your background, or your religious affiliation, service is a crucial part of our everyday lives and everyone should get involved in this and do a service out of the good of their hearts.

  • 5 Solas Of The Reformation Essay

    840 Words  | 4 Pages

    The five solas of the Reformation were, sola gratia, sola fide, solus Christus, sola Scriptura, and Soli Deo Gloria. Each of the five solas refuted at least one Roman Catholic teaching or doctrine that the Reformers did not find Biblical or true. The five solas of the Reformation were the foundation upon which all other Reformation teachings were based, and all of the Reformers agreed, despite their various other doctrinal differences. Sola gratia, Latin for by grace alone, means that man is saved by God’s grace alone and not by his own works. Paul explains this in detail in Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV): “8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.”

    As I stepped out of my car, I acknowledge that the church was surrounded by trees, which gave it a calming and peaceful sensation, the building was long with a triangular shaped form, with burgundy bricks surroundings and a bit of white in the front entrance and some at the very top and sides with a dark beige roofing to give the church some color, the windows seemed to be a tinted crystal glass that was designed with blues and a beige color. As I made my way into the church their was an entry room where a man and a women and what seemed to be their two children greeted me and handed me a pamphlet that described what was going to take place in that days Sunday school and mass, then I made my way to another pair of doors where I could hear the choir singing, as I opened the doors the inside of the church was a tan wood looking color all around and had matching tan benches with burgundy red bedding to match the carpet, the thing that stood out most to me when I walked in was the large cross that was in the very front that shined very bright as if the sun was hitting it to give the whole church light, when I looked below the cross, the choir was singing and beside it was a women playing a piano with so much passion and in front of them was a the pastors book stand also a matching tan color with his bible. The people were very kind as I sat down next to a friend that attends that church, they welcomed me with open arms and talked a bit about them self’s and the amount of time
