I like learning about how secular historical sources and critics further prove the existence of Jesus and his works.

Personality, I was very impacted by the Archaeological session because it was my first time looking at these facts. It was nice seeing that scriptures from the Bible supported these facts.

Archaeology stuck out to me the most. I did not realize there was so much historical evidence that supported the books of the Bible. Given the archaeological evidence it will be easier to converse with people and be able to give them facts of how we back up the words written in the Bible as historically true.

It was shocking to see historical figures that were non-christian or atheist account the existence of Jesus and they don't deny it. It is amazing how we can reconstruct the entire New Testament from quotations of non-biblical evidence.

Outside sources stood out to me because it shows how God revealed his power to believers and non-believers knowing some would reject the truth. It shows God's love toward people.

There have been many instances where I have felt convicted by what I was reading inn the Bible at the time. I have also felt addressed when I prayed about something or had something happen that day; later I read the truths about God that related to what I had gone through or that had personally addressed a concern.

Sometimes verses I have read before will suddenly stick out to me as I read them again, and their words will be very applicable to whatever my current situation is. That can be to convict me, encourage me, or just direct my attention to things.

The parable made me realize how loving and patient God is. I never felt or imagine how much God loves us until I read this parable. I'm like the son who wants to run away and start my own life, but God does not give up on having a relationship with me. Instead, he patiently waits for me to come back with open arms.

John 13:21-38
When Jesus told his disciples that one of them was going to betray him. Even though he knew Judas was going to betray him, he did not act differently towards him instead he extended forgiveness. Here he demonstrates the verse love your neighbor and it convicted on how I should love others.

I believe in Jesus's claim of him being God. He is my lord and savior. I believe that he came into this world as a physical being and paid for our sins by sacrificing himself on the cross.

For me, by stating that Jesus is lord is me acknowledging Jesus is the son of God and that he died on the cross for us. Calling Jesus lord shows that I understand that He is above all and is who He says He is. I put my trust in Jesus our lord. (SR)

I have heard this argument made in the past, and it holds true today.  It is comforting that, even though we are saved through faith, we do not have to have faith at the expense of reason.  We are not making a leap of faith that is completely irrational.  To me, it's another way God has is reaching for us.

For me, I believe that Jesus is the Lord, the one who governs heavens and earth. Jesus is the son of God, the one who was born and die in order for us to have forgiveness and salvation.

Through prayer and reading my Bible I believe I can and have moments with God that dictate the way I act and behave. Spending time with God first thing in the morning usually dictates how the rest of my day will go. There is comfort for me in knowing that any decisions or thoughts I have I can lay them at the feet of Jesus and ask for guidance through prayer. I believe Jesus wants to have a relationship with me and wants me to pursue him with my whole heart. (SR)

Jesus is someone I can run to and HE is someone who will be waiting with open arms. Jesus plays an important role in my life because he is the one who brings me peace in my daily life. The relationship I have with HIM through reading his word and praying has giving me the desire to be close to him and appreciate everything he has done.

I believe that he is the Son of God, and I want him to be the center of my life, and I believe he deserves to be. I am still working on letting him be the absolute center of my life, rather that just a piece of my life.  I am getting better at reading my Bible daily, and praying more often, but I want to get better at going deeper in prayer, and praying about more aspects of my life.

I believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light. He is the son of God and I can trust in him that he has a plan for me. Often times, I worry about what or where my future is going to be , but I find reassurance through God, knowing that he is always there by my side .
