NTBB8102 Exposition of Matthew II - Complete!

I have to admit that I spent way too much time over the past 2-weeks working on this course. This course along with the 1st Exposition of Matthew are two of the toughest courses in this entire program. I wanted to get this one knocked out so it would be a little easier on my downhill ride toward the end of my Seminary studies. Only two more courses left to go!

Here are the details of the work I did in this particular study:

• Listened to 28 lectures totaling 17 hours.
• Read the Gospel of Matthew chapters 14-28.
• Took a 100 question Final exam.
• Read “Understanding Controversial Passages” by Dr. Hayes and wrote a 923 word summary on the book.
• Wrote a 15 page graduate level term paper on the subjects of "The Last Days" and "The Characteristics of the Present Age." 

Like I said, I probably spent way too much time on this in just a short 2-week period. I filled every available slot in my days and nights to do school work and my brain is nearly mush. But I have a great feeling of accomplishment and am ready to wind this thing down! Please continue praying for my ongoing efforts. Up next: THEO7340 Doctrine of Christ.

Exposition in Matthew I...COMPLETE!

I believe out of all of the courses I have completed thus far this one was the toughest of all. Just in case you are interested in what all was required in this course let me give you a run down:

1. Read the entire 28 chapters of the Gospel of Matthew and write a 500 word minimum summary.
2. Read course textbook, Matthew Thy Kingdom Come, by John Walvoord and write a 500 word minimum summary.
3. Read course textbook, Matthew, by H.A. Ironside and write a 500 word minimum summary.
4. Listen to 20 lectures totaling 13 hours and taking notes.
5. Take an 81 question final exam.
6. Write a 5 page minimum research paper on the Roman Catholic theology of Mary as Mediatrix aor Co-Redeemer explaining their beliefs, Scripture references, and to refute their beliefs. (this was by far the toughest of everything in this course.).

All in all it took me over 2-months to complete working nights, lunch breaks, and any available free time. My brain is completely fried right now but I am excited that I only have 4 more courses remaining before I complete my doctorate! Next up: THEO7330 Doctrine of the Holy Spirit. As always, prayers are appreciated.
