Course Description
This
course will help define what the Gospel of the Kingdom
is, and how we can live in the principles and attitudes
of the Kingdom more fully. You will examine the Sermon
on the Mount, which has been called the Manifesto of the
King. We will take a verse-by-verse examination of this
to see how we should be developing in character as its
citizens, and what the relationship of the Kingdom of
Heaven is to the world. Course Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, students will:
1.
Understand what it means to live by
kingdom principles.
2.
Apply kingdom principles to your daily
life.
3.
Gain a greater perspective of how kingdom
principles apply to all ministry functions.
4.
Experience a closer walk with the Lord by
seeking Him in all that you do.
Course Policies

Standards for Grading
Assignments
As indicated below,
“C” or 2.0 level work is considered average.
Leaders are not
average people.
You are therefore
expected (required) to put forth the
effort necessary to
demonstrate at least “B” (3.0) level work or higher on
all assignments which you submit. Any which do not will
be returned to you with input
from your instructor
on how you can raise your grade to the expected level.
A course grade
will not be
given until
your assignments demonstrate that
you have understood
the material presented in the course and allowed your
life to be transformed by the Spirit and the Word
studied
— the requirements
for
attaining a “B”.
Your individual
assignments (tests, written assignments, etc.) will be
graded according to the following standards. These
grades will be averaged together to determine your
course grade. ACU is training you as a leader and
leaders are above-average people. Therefore, your work
will reflect that.
“A” • Grasped the
material with thoroughness, industry and correctness of
detail.
• Made the
material his own by thinking about it and integrating
it, using
originality,
natural ability, and insight.
“B” • Intelligently
has fulfilled the requirements of this course.
• Understands
the subject matter presented and has applied it to his
life in a
limited
manner but has not really made the truths his own.
“C” • Average work;
either steady work of an acceptable quality, or work of
a high
quality which
is uneven, irregular or fragmentary.
• May be
mechanically or outwardly correct but shows little
reflection upon or
personal
assimilation of the material.
“D” • Indicates
barely passing work that is inferior to the average both
in quantity
and in
quality.
• Manifests a
lack of initiative or sense of responsibility or both. |
