@PeropatKristen @michellemosier I enjoyed learning about this parable as well! I think it holds messages that can apply to all of us and can help direct us in faith and interpersonal relationships.

[Sam Chavez @SamChav26511060]

@maggie_kunz30 @michellemosier I think this is a very important one also! It goes to exemplify the morals that God intends us to have and helps us follow them subsequently.

#drmtheo111 #qotw13 My favorite parable that we have covered this week is the one of the mustard seed. This parable tells all of us that no matter how small or insignificant we may seem, we can always grow into something that can make a difference.

@VorisekCaroline @michellemosier I also thought her story was quite interesting. I think that there are many important messages that can be taken from it.

@ToriGoeglein @michellemosier I think this is very important. Many times we are taught something that ends up being false when we actually read it.

#qotw9 #drmtheo111 The most fascinating woman in the Old Testament in my opinion is Hannah. Even though she was Barren she was still loyal to God and was rewarded for her loyalty in the form of a child later in her life. I think this goes to show the love of God very well.

@amortimer17 @michellemosier I also thought this was important! Lots of the common conceptions about this story are in fact false when we actually read about them from the source.

@michellemosier #drmtheo111 #qotw8 I think the most important takeaway from this week of instruction is that often when we hear bible stories, the end up not being what is written in the Bible. This is evident in many of the interactions between Adam and Eve.

[Sam Chavez @SamChav26511060]

@PeropatKristen @michellemosier I think this is a very important takeaway! It is important that we always remember these foundational ideals.

@simon_gabel @michellemosier I didn't know about Habakkuk either! It was very fascinating to learn that story.

[Sam Chavez @SamChav26511060]

#drmtheo111 #qotw6 The most important takeaway from this weeks reading was the talk on how Jonah was given God's mercy, even when it might not have been deserved, this is a great example of how God's love is unconditional and forgiving in all walks of life.

[Sam Chavez @SamChav26511060]

@jack07012047 @michellemosier I agree that patience is a very important part of seeing God!!

[Sam Chavez @SamChav26511060]

@kathrynheppner @michellemosier I agree! It is important to remember how altruistic God is even when we can't see him entirely.

[Sam Chavez @SamChav26511060]

#drmtheo111 #qotw5 There have been lots of specific topics discussed in the previous week. The one that resonated most with me was the lecture portions on unconditional and condition covenants and WHY God binds himself to man through said covenants.

[Sam Chavez @SamChav26511060]

@JessAnnor @michellemosier It is very important that you said that dominion was not given to man to rule over any other man, but rather to tend to the planet.

[Sam Chavez @SamChav26511060]

@GreiberNick Very true! Respect for the one and only Earth we have been given and that is an idea that goes unnoticed a lot in today's society.

[Sam Chavez @SamChav26511060]

#drmtheo111 #qotw4 Scripture teaching regarding God's intention with the Earth is actually somewhat specific. He tells us that, as humans, we have dominion over the Earth. Close study of scripture reveals that He means "to take care of" when using the word dominion, not to rule.

[Sam Chavez @SamChav26511060]

@jack16arm @michellemosier I agree with this as well, I think it is very important to be able to learn from previous mistakes and better yourself and those around you.

[Sam Chavez @SamChav26511060]

@SamJohn51928922 @michellemosier I agree! I feel that our own mental and emotional health effects others more than we think!

[Sam Chavez @SamChav26511060]

@michellemosier #drmtheo111 #qotw3 My most important theological insight thus far was that theology is a process and a product. This is significant because it adds greater meaning to theology as a study and what it means in our daily lives.
