Beginning May 11 at 6:30 p.m. at STellaBfook .Presbyterian Church. 115 )ellabrook Road. AfrocentricChristian bourses will be provided the membership ?' nd general public for free. These courses Jwill be taught by Dr. Carlton A.G. Ever isley. who has led them in various venues J the U.S. Air Force. Northwestern L ni ?versity and four Baptist churches, includ ing First Baptist East Winston, and ?Dellabrook, over the last 20 years.' * The first course is titled "Biblical ?Faith and the Black American" and is "based on a book with the same name by Dr. Latta Thomas of South Carolina. ]' "This is a very serious and sophisticated ^course of biblical interpretation and ?, A application to tne nrncan American experience," said Eversley. "Oftentimes interpretation is confused and applica tion to us is ignored. After four lessons, students will have a superior working technical knowledge of scripture than 90 percent of American Christians." Beginning June 8 at 6:30 p.m. at the church, "Disciplines of the Spirit" by Howard Thurman will be taught by Eversley. Thurman was considered one of the greatest American preachers, mys tics and spiritual writers of the 20th cen tury. First at Oberlin, Ohio, then Howard University, then San Francisco and Boston University, Thurman thought spiritual (disciplines could be "caught but not taught." Later he learned to teach them in a marvelously profound way. r tversley said, students taking these five lessons will learn how to grow their relationship to God in Jesus the Christ on a daily, if not hourly, basis. They won't need to wait until 11 a.m. Sunday morn ing to fill up their spiritual gas tank." Ida Michael of Galilee Baptist said, "I was a little anxious taking these cours es, not knowing if I would fit in or be able to do the work. But the Dellabrook members made me feel right at home, and I was able to more than hold my own with the work." Doris Moultry of Mt. Zion Baptist added, "This has been a great experience for me. Anytime Rev. Eversley is teaching I want to be there. Rev. Eversley is a fan tastic teacher!" Special to Thi Chronicle Dr. John and Nflrs Diana Cherry of the Full Gospel A.M.?. Zion Church in Temple Hills, Md., will come to the M.C. Benton Convention Center on May 21-22 "to con duct a marriage seminar, to share wilh-us and perhaps teach ways in which wfc can become better husbands, better wives and have better families." wrote Bishop Johnny L. York, pas tor of Praise Assembly Christian Center, in a news release. Rev. John Cherry is the pastor and founder of the Full Gospel A.M.E., Zion Church, where God is the primary focus of his ministry. Cherry also tries to strengthen the family through the development of strong male leadership. His congregation has grown to more than 22,000 members, and men make up about 40 percent of the total membership. "Perhaps there is yet something we can still learn," York wrote. "A.strong family, with' godly examples of mom.-dad. husband and wife, is desperately needed in this society of today." York wrote. "Human nature has evolved quite well in that practically everything in life is taught. Reading, mathematics, athletics, crooking, you name it, and there is someone "willing to teach us how. This is an accepted practice and usually goes unquestioned. "While each and every one of the above mentioned practices are needed and are ben eficial to all of us, there is one most impor tant factor that we tend not to avail ourselves for teaching. Both within the Body of Christ and outside of the Body of Christ is some-ini tial resistance to being taught how to become a godly father, a godly mother and how to ? have a godly family. * "Regaidless of denomination, ethtjc background, gender or socioeconomic fac tors. the family and parenting are paramount concerns for any society. The Bible dearly gives examples of the effectiveness and blessedness of the family unit when each member contributes to the family and func tions with abiding grace in the position wherein (he or she is) called. ., - . > "Neither role in the marriage nor roles lit the family were intended to be interchanges able. When roles are interchanged not as Gcjd has ordained and set into motion... the result 1 is an imbalance in function."

' ... ? Lesson Scripture: John 13:1-17 lesson aims: To understand the inature of Jesns, and to follow His A ?. I 0 - (14:7-14). The other lessons were Jove motivating obedience (15-24), i i 1 ? . /icau. ? ? Background: His public min istry completed (chapter 12), Jesus shared His last Passover with the disciple?. This celebration com ?memorated the final plague in ?Egypt that led to the Israelites' ^freedom. God instructed them to ^celebrate this historical event ?annually. In gaining their freedom there was a specific meal (Passover supper), and virgin lamb's blood ?was over the dqpr. This blood was the sign that protected them when the Death Angel came. This is .sacred for every Jew then and now. jesus, mereiore me unniemisnea ? perfect Lamb, will offer His body and blood for humanity. John took great care in providing details of that last night with them. Once the meal was finished, Jesus began His final lessons (chapters 13-16). These were reiter ated ones, for he had taught them previously. The lessons centered on being a servant (todays Jesson), the identity of the betrayed (18-. 30). the New Commandment (31 38). and God's continuing work the coming of the Holy Spirit (25 31) and rts work (16:5-16), and His return to the Father (25-*53). The Passover elements were given new meanings found in Matthew 26:26 29. Mark 14:22-25, and Luke 22:19-20. John placed more emphasis on what happened after the meal. Instead of just speaking about a behavior, Jesus lived it. Thus the lesson begins. Lesson: The Passover meal is * Mildred Pepper* Sunday School Lesson finished. Because He is the leader pf this band, the disciples are to serve Him. Instead Jesus reverses the rules. Wrapping a towel around Himself, He begins to wash their feet. How much do I love you? Here, let me show you. Jesus hum bles himself to serve the disciples. The Paschal Lamb centers on ser vice in lieu of being served! Peter becomes indignant. Why should the Messiah wash feet? That's a servant's job. You won't wash mine, Peter says. Jesus calmly explains that without this washing (service) you will have no part of Him. Peter thinking world" ly (earthly Kingdom) now wants to be washed all over. Jesus says that a full bath isn't necessary; the feet will do. The lesson is clear - humil ity and obedience by example. All of them were not clean because the betrayer is still among them. After completing the foot washing. Jesus wants to make sure that they understand what has taken place.. He points out the titles of honor that they call Him and rightly so. He further says that He has served them, therefore they are to serve one another. Foot washing (only other mention is in I Timothy 5:10) is considered a servant's job. Peo ple with status wouldn't be caught doing such a thing. It's disgraceful! Yet Jesus tells them that service out of lovc,.is paramount and the bless ings will come. Application: There is an old spiritual titled "I Want to Be Like Jesus"; Helen Falls sang it often. The beat and the words are quite spunky. Often we make that claim without really examining our selves. To be like the Savior, we must humble self and serve others That is not glamorous! Too many times we want the title but not the work that accompanies it. To be like Him. we are to be cleansed (by His blood) first, then be humbled (not holding your head down) and finally we are to serve. For African Americans accepting the role of servant can at times pose a problem. Stop using society's vision and think Jesus' standard. Being a servant doesn't imply being a foot stool or a whipping post either. Jesus mod eled the attitude, spoke the words and did the actions. If we are dis obedient, that says that we are better than Christ. Heavens no! Can we die for humanity? Jesus ?n being the Master teacher knew* that modeling the correct behav iors is most important.When we think of God's patience with lis. His blessings coming even when we don't understand and the ultimate gift of His Son, how can we not serve Him? We don't deserve any of this, yet He loves us so! Jesus has set the standard. There is no new and improved model. Follow it today!
