Christian walks and ministry. After you review the major claims in the first video segment, review this quote with the students.

Notice at the end of the questions below an extended quote from J. A. Kirk on the tasks of the Church. Briefly review these tasks in light of what you just discovered on the video regarding the traits of the modern cities of the world. Help your students to understand the Church’s task of mission in light of and connected to the modern phenomena of the city–what do they believe regarding mission and the city in light of the Scriptures’ testimony about it? Skim the quotation through with the students, and discuss his analysis together after you review the major claims in the first video segment. You now have only a single lesson to complete the Foundations for Christian Mission . By the end of the second class session, you ought to emphasize with the students the need for them to have done the spadework and thought out precisely how they intend on carrying out their Ministry Project. Also, by this time, you should have emphasized their selection of the passage they will study for their Exegetical Project. Both will be done with far better thought and excellence the earlier the students begin to think through them and decide what they want to do. Do not fail to emphasize this, for, as in all study, at the end of the course many things become due, and the students will begin to feel the pressure of getting a number of assignments in at the same time. Any way that you can remind them of the need for advanced planning will be wonderfully helpful for them, whether they realize it immediately or not. Because of this, we do advocate that you consider docking a modest amount of points for late papers, exams, and projects. While the amount may be nominal, your enforcement of your rules will help them to learn to be efficient and on time as they continue in their studies.
