Max Tyler January Update
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ!
January was an amazing month, filled with adventures, worship, and the love of Christ!
Classes are going wonderfully, I started the semester with an intensive called "Ministry Roles in the Body of Christ" which consisted of planting a church! We had one week to completely plant a church that included: Doctrine, 1-10 year goals, outreach programs, a leadership structure, and scripture references to go along with why we chose what we chose. It was a very difficult class but it was very fun and I learned a ton from it.
The next class was "Apologetics", which is basically how to defend our faith. It was a very fun class because the homework for every night was to argue with another student on different topics, like the inerrancy of scripture and the trinity. The most interesting parts of those debates was arguing as if we were a muslim, Jehovahs witness, mormon, or an atheist. It was very difficult, but yet eye opening to the way those people think.
Currently we are taking "the Writings of John". This class has been amazing, I have never learned so much in such a short time anywhere else. Going of the gospel of John and picking through it with a fine tooth comb is truly astounding. The teacher is going verse by verse through John, and the 3 letters, and it is just phenomenal.
Next week I will be starting the full 12 week classes, the ones I mentioned in the last blog post. I greatly look forward to those classes, especially Fundamentals of the Faith, since we will be diving deep on different doctrine.
Besides class, I have a ton of fun going on adventures, for instance, the day after Christmas, my discipler, Forrest, took me out to Halibut cove on his boat. I got a ton of cool pictures and got to wander this almost abandoned city for the day. During the summer Halibut cove has 70 residents, in the winter there are only 20 people. We didn't see a single person the whole trip. But there was plenty of wildlife, a dozen or so of sea otters, a couple seals, and on the way out of the city, some orca's swam up next to the boat!
Thank you all for praying for the Jackson family, they have fully recovered, God is so good!
I want to thank you all for also financially supporting me through this adventure. I could not have made it this far without the love and support from this congregation.
I will be home to Bentheim for roughly a week in June, I should be there at least on June 15, and I hope that I could share a sermon then too.
Here are the pictures I have taken so far, the first chunk is from the Halibut cove trip
