The Book of Acts @ Horizon College

J.R. Miller — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 20:00:23 +0000

The book of Acts is a 12 week study of about story of God’s prophetic promise fulfilled through the expansion of the Christian church in the first century Mediterranean world. This 12 week course seeks to understand the narrative of Acts by examining its origin, purpose, history of interpretation, theology, and growth of the church. Special emphasis will be given to using the book of Acts to understanding the missional nature of the early church and its implications for modern leadership and church practice. Students will discover the cultural obstacles of the world in which the church was birthed and how the saints were empowered by God to overcome them and to carry out the Gospel mission. Students will finish this course with the tools necessary to both teach and preach the book of Acts in their cultural context.

What is the Final Judgement?

J.R. Miller — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 10:30:44 +0000

Tonight @ PCU, I am giving a talk on God’s “Final Judgement”.

“Pathways Christian University (PCU)” is a church-based class designed to train believers and give them a strong theological foundation. Various topics will be covered that will give them an opportunity to develop their heart, soul and mind….and become more like Jesus. Our hope is that each member will personally grow in their knowledge of God and the Word AND grasp the calling to influence and lead others. Attenders learn God’s Word using the three-pronged approach of weekly homework, teaching by knowledgeable leaders and small group discussion.

Training Small Group Leaders in SoCal

J.R. Miller — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 23:48:23 +0000

Spent the afternoon training a group of about 70 small group leaders from Pathways Community Church in Santee, CA. Pathways is a wonderful church family that has a strong reputation of community service and compassion. My hope was to build on this core strength and motivate every small group leader to build a clear Group Identity and help every person in their group find a Personal Identity in the Church. I had a wonderful time and am praying everyone were inspired to build groups that reflect the diversity of Jesus Christ.
