VI. Spiritual Growth: Implications and Applications
- There is a unique Spiritual Growth Implications and Applications feature for each Segment of the 16 Segments.
- These are an important part of our courses because they help students to internalize application points which foster growth in character formation.
- There are a variety of approaches used with vary with each Segment. Sometimes this involves journaling, praying through a passage of Scripture, insights on Jewish outreach and discipleship, a little additional reading (we provide the content at no extra cost), and sometimes some Bible memorization/meditation on short passages. Students taking our courses for credit are required to complete the Spiritual Growth assignments, however students who are auditing our courses do not need to do these assignments.
- When a written assignment is required, such as a journal or prayer, students must complete these, but they are not turned-in for grading or credit. We expect students to complete these assignments, using the honor system.
- For student journal assignments you can use a Word doc on your computer or a handwritten journal or notebook; whichever you prefer is fine (again these will not be collected, turned-in or graded).
- However, when there is a Bible memory passage that is assigned and also required, then the Bible memory passage will be included in the Unit Exam. Bible memory verses for this course are based on the NASB (1995) version of the Bible; per Dr. Fruchtenbaum’s instructions. He uses the ASV in teaching but requested that the NASB be used for the Bible memory passages for this course.
Here is an example from Segment #1 of this Yeshua Part Three Course:
Segment #1 Spiritual Growth: Implications and Applications Assignment*
In John 7:38, the Lord Yeshua stated, “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water’” (NASB95). In the verse that follows, John explained that Yeshua was referring to the Holy Spirit: “But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Yeshua was not yet glorified.” (John 7:39). Dr. Fruchtenbaum discussed this in the lecture and reading assigned in this segment; review what he stated and then memorize and meditate upon John 7:38. All memory verses for this course are to be from the NASB95 version, per Dr. Fruchtenbaum’s request and the only change will be the use of “Yeshua” instead of “Jesus” and the use of “Messiah” for “Christ.”
It would do believers great benefit to spend time studying and more carefully considering what it means that they are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. To help stimulate your thinking on this, here are some “Points to Ponder” (PTP, for short). To ensure your pondering doesn’t go too far “a yondering,” from biblical revelation, you will see some “Speculation Inspection Stations” (SIS) and “Exegetical Evaluation Stations” (EES) that follow each Point to Ponder. They all begin with the phrasing, “So, tell me, how.” You may not be able to answer many of these PTP items or the follow-up SIS/EES, and that’s fine because it will at least underscore the need for more learning on your part (including add’l Ariel Online Courses such Pneumatology and Hermeneutics).
PTP #1: What does it mean that the Holy Spirit lives in us, indwells us?
- SIS: So, tell me, how would you support this from Scripture? (provide specific verses).
- EED: So, tell, me, how can you be so sure your interpretation of that passage is the correct one and that it directly supports your answer to PTP#1?
PTP#2: What does He do in and/or through us?
- SIS: So, tell me, how would you support this from Scripture? (provide specific verses).
- EED: So, tell, me, how can you be so sure your interpretation of that passage is the correct one and that it directly supports your answer to PTP#2?
PTP#3: How can we recognize His work and ministry in and through us?
- SIS: So, tell me, how would you support this from Scripture? (provide specific verses).
- EED: So, tell, me, how can you be so sure your interpretation of that passage is the correct one and that it directly supports your answer to PTP#3?
PTP#4: How does what we do, or neglect to do, have a bearing on His indwelling?
- SIS: So, tell me, how would you support this from Scripture? (provide specific verses).
- EED: So, tell, me, how can you be so sure your interpretation of that passage is the correct one and that it directly supports your answer to PTP#4?
PTP#5: What are things we could do to increase His work in us?
- SIS: So, tell me, how would you support this from Scripture? (provide specific verses).
- EED: So, tell, me, how can you be so sure your interpretation of that passage is the correct one and that it directly supports your answer to PTP#5?
PTP#6: What some are things, behaviors, or thoughts, we do that can diminish His work in us? What does it mean to grieve the Spirit or quench the Spirit? Why should this matter?
- SIS: So, tell me, how would you support this from Scripture? (provide specific verses).
- EED: So, tell, me, how can you be so sure your interpretation of that passage is the correct one and that it directly supports your answer to PTP#6?
PTP#7: How does one “walk in the Spirit?”
- SIS: So, tell me, how would you support this from Scripture? (provide specific verses).
- EED: So, tell, me, how can you be so sure your interpretation of that passage is the correct one and that it directly supports your answer to PTP#7?
PTP#8: : In addition to temporal gains or losses, are there eternal consequences to our degree of yielded-ness or cooperation with the Holy Spirit who indwells us?
- SIS: So, tell me, how would you support this from Scripture? (provide specific verses).
- EED: So, tell, me, how can you be so sure your interpretation of that passage is the correct one and that it directly supports your answer to PTP#8?
These types of questions are generally covered in courses on Pneumatology (the doctrine of the Holy Spirit), however there is no need to wait until such a course is taken to try to work through these questions. Mere speculation about the answers to these questions is problematic and is, quite frankly, pointless. Answers can and must only come from Scripture (Jn. 17:17). A good way to begin to search the Scriptures would be to read all the passages in the Gospel of John which deal with Holy Spirit. Here are some of is a list of those verses (from the ASV): Jn. 1:32-33; 3:5, 8, 34, 6:63; 7:39; 14:17, 26; 15:26; 16:13; 20:22. Of course one should read these in context.
Note: This portion of the curriculum for the course, entitled “Spiritual Growth: Implications and Applications Assignment” is a requirement. Therefore, students must read this portion for each segment and complete any work that is assigned. Sometimes this involves Bible memorization/meditation passages, other times it may require additional reading and journaling. On rare occasions there may be optional assignments, but this will be stated, otherwise, assume that all work in this part of the curriculum is required.
The purposes of this portion of the curriculum are threefold:
- To help students be discerning thinkers, to evaluate biblical interpretations in light of accurate exegesis and sound doctrine (1 Thess. 5:21-23; 2 Tim. 2:15; Titus 2:1)
- To internalize Scriptures and aspects of the study that can foster character formation towards Christlikeness as students grow in their knowledge of God, of themselves, and of the Scriptures (Romans 12:1-2; 2 Peter 3:18; James 1:22).
- To keep an emphasis on Messianic Jewish implications and applications (e.g. Jewish evangelism and discipleship, living a Messianic Jewish life that is well-pleasing to the Lord).
VII. Course Exams
- There are no mid-term or final exams, no term papers, no major projects, presentations, or quizzes.
- There are, however Unit Exams for all of our courses. Unit Exams are open-note, open-book, and open-Bible.
- The exams are based on multiple-choice, true-false, and fill-in-the-blank type of questions.
- The exams are on the website as well, graded automatically. Take as long as you need to complete the exams and exams can be taken as many times as needed.
- Students can save answers and close the exam and finish at a later time if desired. Students taking courses for credit are required to take the exams but students who audit our courses can skip or by-pass all the exams.
- This course, Yeshua Part Three is comprised of five Unit Exams. Each Unit Exam is to be completed after the required reading and assignments in the preceding Segments.
The typical Unit Exam has about 100 questions (some have more some less).
