Pastoral Care & Counseling

Homiletics

讲道是准备和发表讲道的艺术. 它是实践和应用神学的学科之一. 那些学习讲道学的人寻求提高他们的能力,以与人的思想联系的方式传达神的话语, heart, and soul in a transformative way. 基督复临安息日会神学院的讲道项目不相信“一刀切”的讲道方法.

我们的讲道训练集中在两个关键要素的转化讲道. 第一,《bet365中文》注释——“正确划分真理之道”的技巧.有效的讲道始于清楚地理解神在特定的时间对特定的群体说了什么(重点),以及他想看到神的话在他们的生活中成就什么(功能)。. However, 然后,这个词必须融入现代听众的生活中, which requires the aptitude of audience exegesis. 这样,听众就可以继续活出神的话语和神的旨意的原则. 

PATH Worship & Music Studies

你们当敬拜那创造天、地、海、和水泉的.” Rev 14:7
“Go and make disciples of all nations, 奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗.” Matt 28:19

学习敬拜与音乐的目的,是要将神学院学生培养成终身敬拜三位一体神的门徒, so that they may in turn make more worshiping disciples. Through our courses and worship ministry program, 神学院学生致力于培养对上帝的忠诚. 我们通过信仰和诗歌应用教会所有的教导, 使我们的敬拜可以见证我们的呼召和基督快再来的使命. 我们庆祝所有人的丰富遗产和多样性,作为上帝大能的相关和重要见证. We examine both history and best practices, 寻求使我们的神学敬拜表达与我们的复临信仰一致. Thus, it is through studies in worship and music, 神学院学生既应用神学,又展示实践神学.

Our bulletin courses empower leaders in the ministry, history, theology, and philosophy of worship and music. These courses include, but are not limited to:

  • Worship: Word & Music
  • History & Theology in Adventist Worship
  • History of Christian Worship Music
  • Sacred Music in the African American Tradition

We look forward to worshiping together.

PATH Leadership

Since doing flows from being, our passion is to be what we teach, 鼓励神学院学生被改变成基督的形象,并学习带领他人经历改变生命的事件和过程. 这种状态来自于与耶稣委身的关系,使人能够将神的价值观和生活原则灌输到信徒的内心和思想中. 所有这一切的结果是,领袖可以有效地作为仆人与主同工.
