La Autoridad del Creador (PTM #3)

We have come a ways in our understanding of how we can witness our faith to those "neighbors" or "strangers" that God puts in our path -- neighbors of all types, including those that speak a different language. Our calling to love our neighbor isn't nullified by that fact. We started by looking at how we can use language cognates to speak about the attributes of God. That information is below for you to review.
We then discussed the particular trait of God known as His immutability (inability to change - He is always the same!) This is a particularly important one to be able to speak about since there is great comfort in the knowledge that our God is forever faithful in Himself and His promises. Below, you will find that information for you to review.
Now, we are going to look at the authority of God as the Creator. This is important because it lays the groundwork or everything else. If God does not have authority over us as our Creator, then, truly, He has no authority in our lives whatsoever. However, if He is our Creator as He truly is, that has major implications to the service that we owe Him.
With the authority of God as our Creator fixed in our mind, we are going to participate in a simulated activity where you will be imagining and including yourself in a conversation with a fictional co-worker named Roberto. Follow the directions on the Google Form below to complete this activity.

Situación: Las Similitudes y Diferencias entre Tú y Luisa de Marsella, Colombia

Antes de empezar el video en FlipGrid, tú necesitas conocer a su amiga nueva, Luisa.
- Luisa es de Marsella, Colombia y, en este video, ella habla sobre su vida. 
- Necesitas mirar el video (es corto...más o menos 4 minutos) y aprender sobre ella. 
- Debes usar los subtítulos en español porque es más fácil para entender la conversación con subtítulos españoles (en "Settings - Subtitles - Spanish (Latin America)".
- Mientras miras el video, debes escribir algunas notas en la vida de Luisa porque va a hacer el próximo parte de la tarea más fácil.
Ahora, necesitas hacer un video corto via FlipGrid.

REQUISITOS DE TU VIDEO:
  • 45-90 segundos en total
  • Necesitas imaginar que estás hablando con Marsella. 
  • Debes imaginar que la cámara es Luisa y debes decirle a ella las similitudes y diferences entre tú y ella.
    • Psst...(and I'll cheat and tell you this in English)...if you want some extra-credit, feel free to coerce a family member into being Luisa to ask you questions. They can read things you've prepared for them. Not required. If you don't have someone to pretend to be Luisa, just tell the camera all the things you would tell Luisa about the similarities and differences between your life and hers.
  • NO necesitas responder a los videos de tus amigos. No es un requisito este vez.
  • Tienes que divertirte. ¡Es una orden! 🙂
YOU CAN ACCESS THE FLIPGRID ASSIGNMENT BELOW OR THROUGH THE LINK/CODE AVAILABLE ON THE GOOGLE CLASSROOM ASSIGNMENT.
