           Internship

          This past month Jacob taught the adult Sunday school at our church. The topic was very fresh and relevant in Jacob’s mind as he had just taken a seminary class on Christian Ethics in July. This was a wonderful opportunity to learn how to teach.

Yet another wonderful and exciting opportunity to learn and grow arose with Jacob being included in the worship service at Christ Church in Grand Rapids. The worship service was focused on celebrating the reformation and Jacob got to preach the first of three homilies. The focus of this homily was the concept of Sola Scriptura (God’s Word Alone). You can listen to Jacob’s Sermon by going to the following link: http://www.christchurchgr.org/sermons.html  

Seminary

Within the last month much has happened on the seminary front. It is truly hard to say what the biggest and most exciting news is with so much going on! Praise God that Covenant has awarded Jacob a 25% scholarship for the spring semester! This is truly a blessed answer to many prayers.

On top of this wonderful news about receiving a scholarship, Jacob earned a B+ on his Ancient and Medieval Church History class! This was very encouraging as Jacob usually does not perform well on tests.

For that very same class students are required either to write a paper or make a time-line showing at least 100 of the most important dates in church history. Of course with the help of wonderful Amy, Jacob has been able to create a game teaching about Church history! The game cards look amazing, the game board looks amazing and the game is very fun to play!
