Jesus’ Teachings (SCS 120)

Course Description

Teachings about the Gospels have usually portrayed Jesus Christ as the “Great Exception” to being human. However, by focusing upon his sayings, we can see Jesus as the “Great Example” for Spiritual Awakening, Empowerment, and Transformation. By exploring the teachings of Jesus, rather than the teachings about Jesus, we can follow that example. Students will develop a deeper and more practical understanding of Jesus as Master Teacher and Way-Shower through reflection upon his sayings and methods. In this way, they will learn to build a strong spiritual foundation for “Christ Consciousness.”

Course Learning Objectives

By the end of the course learners will be able to:

  1. Describe how Jesus prayed.

  2. Describe how Jesus healed.

  3. Identify the four teachings methods of Jesus

  4. Describe the main teachings of Jesus Christ.

  5. Relate the teachings of Jesus to their own life.
