The slide presentation for the first lesson in the series I developed from the Gospel According the John. The book may be found at, http://bit.ly/1hPMIk4
This document discusses how Christians should view music, film, and the arts through the lens of a biblical worldview. It argues that all art carries an underlying worldview that shapes people's beliefs and values. Alternative worldviews promoted in music and movies often present unbiblical views of identity, purpose, and the good life. The document urges Christians to understand their identity as gospel stewards on a mission from God and thoughtfully engage rather than overindulge or overprotect when consuming artistic media. Christians should recognize alternate worldviews and thoughtfully consider works through a biblical lens focused on worshipping God.
This document summarizes John Bunyan's classic work "The Pilgrim's Progress". It discusses several key themes and events from the story, including Christian's journey from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, the costs of salvation including giving up worldly possessions, and knowledge gained through the pilgrims' travels. It also notes that Bunyan wrote the first part of the book while imprisoned, and that imprisonment is a theme as some characters experience jail.
The document discusses the importance of looking in the right direction both literally and spiritually. It provides biblical examples of people who looked in the wrong direction, such as Lot's wife who looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt, and the Israelites who complained about their food and longed for what they had in Egypt. However, it also gives examples of people who looked in the right direction, such as Abraham and Moses who considered themselves pilgrims in this world and looked forward to the eternal city of God, and Paul who gave up everything to gain Christ. Christians are encouraged to look above and focus on eternal rewards rather than temporary things.
This document discusses the importance of personal evangelism according to the Bible. It begins by listing three reasons why personal evangelism is important: it was commanded by Jesus, it is a good work, and love demands it. It then examines examples of evangelism in the New Testament, noting how the apostles and early Christians evangelized individually by engaging with and teaching lost people. However, it states that modern forms of "evangelism" only vaguely resemble the New Testament pattern. The document concludes by emphasizing that while good works, service, and friendship are important, Christians must still personally share the gospel with others according to the example set in the New Testament.
This document provides information about the Anointed Gospel College, which offers various Christian education programs. It describes the college's schools of Christian Faith, Soulwinning, Gospelmedia, and Evangelical Research. It then focuses on the School of Soulwinning, outlining seminars on personal evangelism. These seminars cover the aims, definition, importance, targets, locations, times and methods of personal evangelism to help students effectively win souls for Christ. The document encourages attendance at various Christian conferences held annually at Gospelville, Offa, Nigeria to aid in evangelization. It concludes by providing contact details for the Gospel Unlimited Foundation.
The document discusses how Jesus is described as altogether lovely in the Song of Solomon. It notes how Jesus had no sin and was faultless, yet willingly became ugly on the cross to make humanity beautiful. The prophet Isaiah foretold how Jesus would have no majesty or beauty due to being disfigured. The document encourages remembering Jesus' sacrifice at Christmas and finding him altogether lovely.
In this series of lessons we examine Jesus and the women at the well. The Jew and Samaritan relationship and why it was necessary for Jesus to travel through the city of Samaria. Both audio and slides can be found together at www.cmcoc.org
Sermon by: Brian BIrddow
1) The document discusses how both Jesus and Paul were willing to adapt themselves and their identities for the sake of bringing others to Christ. They surrendered their rights and status to serve others in humility.
2) It encourages readers to follow their example by becoming flexible in how they see themselves and willing to interact with people outside their comfort zones, in order to help spread the gospel message.
3) Taking such a leap of faith requires giving up one's focus on their own reputation and priorities and instead concentrating fully on serving and loving others.

1) The document contrasts the legacies of King Asa and the Apostle Paul, who both started well but finished differently. Asa started by purging idolatry but later disobeyed God, while Paul went from persecuting Christians to being martyred for spreading the gospel.
2) It argues that one's legacy is determined not by how they started, but by how they finish following God. It encourages taking steps daily to finish well like Paul rather than finishing badly by abandoning faith like Asa.
3) The conclusion asks what legacy the reader will leave by how they finish their journey with God.
The document discusses key aspects of the Gospel of John. It notes that John focuses on Jesus' inner life and identity, referencing creation for new beginnings. John omits some events but adds five miracles not in other Gospels. John records seven "I am" statements by Jesus. The document also provides context on the author John, describing him as a fisherman, relative of Jesus, and his closest friend who wrote as an old man for mature Christians to continue believing in Jesus as the Messiah and Son of God.
- The document summarizes the plot of John Bunyan's famous work "The Pilgrim's Progress", which tells the story of Christian's journey from his home in the City of Destruction to the Celestial City.
- It describes some of the obstacles Christian faces along the way, including being tempted to turn back by Worldly Wiseman and battling the monster Apollyon. Christian is later joined by fellow pilgrims Faithful and Hopeful.
- After Faithful is martyred in the town of Vanity, Christian continues on with Hopeful until they finally cross over the river to reach the Celestial City at the end of their journey.
The document provides a summary of the movie "Heaven is For Real" based on a true story about a four-year old boy named Colton who has his appendix removed and claims to have visited heaven during his surgery. During his recovery, Colton begins sharing stories about meeting his miscarried sister and his great grandfather in heaven. While some in the church are skeptical, Colton shares impossible details that convince his family of his experience. The movie aims to show that heaven is real, Jesus loves children, and to be prepared for the coming last battle, but has also received criticism for presenting non-biblical scenes of heaven and lacking medical evidence of Colton's experience.
An overview of the story of the Bible and the subsequent history of the Church. I wrote this a while ago and would do it differently now, but it still has value.
The document discusses the topic of prayer through exploring different types and purposes of prayer. It addresses the differences between mystical and prophetic prayer, with mystical prayer focusing on internal contemplation and finding God within, while prophetic prayer sees God as transcendent and involves crying out to or communicating with God. The document also suggests that the most effective prayers involve getting to know God through his word, which can lead to a deeper relationship and more meaningful conversation between God and man through prayer.
This document discusses the importance of having the right destination and focus in life. It emphasizes seeking God's kingdom and righteousness first according to Jesus. Each stage of life is part of God's calling and Christians should focus on ministry, growth, and following God's leading rather than money or careers. While the eternal destination of glorifying God is important, the journey itself prepares us for that destination as God shapes us through experiences. Every stop along the journey offers opportunities for dealing with brokenness or experiencing God's blessing.
A Missionary People For A Missionary GodEddie Arthur
The document discusses how Jesus was sent by God to serve and sacrifice for humanity, and how Christians are called to follow his example by being sent as missionaries to others. It notes that Jesus came as a real human to suffer and die for people, and calls Christians to go to others as part of a community, making sacrifices as Jesus did to build the church.

In the Gospel of John, we are told that Andrew met Jesus, with that burning zeal went and found his brother Simon Peter and brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John, but you shall be called Cephas". What did Jesus saw in Peter? What does Jesus sees in you today? How does one keep the flame alive? In what ways do I share or give testimony of the love of Jesus to others? As leaders, we are to seek Him, receive Him, know Him, love Him, serve Him and be like Him, you know….. it’s all about Jesus.
The document provides geographical and historical context about the time and place of Jesus' life and ministry in 1st century Judea and Galilee. It describes the Jordan River valley and key regions Jesus traveled through. It also summarizes the major religious and political groups of the time, including the Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, Essenes, Zealots, and the Roman occupation. Key events and teachings from Jesus' life are briefly mentioned.
This document provides an overview for a men's Bible study group for the fall semester of 2014. It discusses the goals of the group, which are to have an encounter with God that changes one's life, to be spiritually energized, and to become a different person by the end of the semester. It also reflects on topics studied over the previous year, including the gospel, faith, seeking God's calling and living for Him. Participants are encouraged to consider how God has impacted their lives and what He may be teaching them. The overall message is to pursue God's will rather than one's own vision and to live in a way that is worthy of the gospel.
The document discusses the empty tomb after Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. It examines various explanations for the empty tomb, but concludes that the only plausible one is that Jesus arose from the dead. It then discusses what would be the implications if there was no resurrection of the dead, including that our faith would be in vain, our sins would not be forgiven, and we would have no hope of an afterlife or reuniting with loved ones. It emphasizes that the resurrection is the foundation of Christianity and proves Jesus' divinity, and gives believers assurance of eternal life.
The document summarizes the history, texts, doctrines, mission, and other beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses. It describes how the religion was founded by William Miller and Charles Taze Russell and developed under J. F. Rutherford into the modern Jehovah's Witnesses. Key doctrines include an apocalyptic view of a coming end times, the belief that only 144,000 believers will go to heaven while others will live forever on paradise earth, and that Jesus is the savior but not God. Jehovah's Witnesses prioritize missionary work to share their beliefs and see every member as an ordained minister. They also do not observe holidays, patriotism,
This document appears to be selected Facebook posts from an individual between 2013-2016. The posts include sharing of bible verses, devotionals, recommendations for books and videos, and brief commentary on spiritual topics. The individual shares content from ministries such as Morningstar and encourages spiritual growth.
The document discusses the concept of salvation as presented in the Bible. It says believers should work out their salvation with fear and trembling, as God is working in them to will and act for his good purpose. It then references examples throughout history of people who worked out their salvation through faith and good works, expanding its scope to reconciliation with God and others rather than just an individual ticket to heaven. The character of salvation described is one of freedom from condemnation and the ability to live fully for God's kingdom purposes.
Kirkville Community Wesleyan Church is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2012. As part of the celebration, the congregation aims to be involved in 50 ministries before the anniversary to bless others in the community and demonstrate God's love. Suggested ministries include volunteering at a rescue mission, food bank, or soup kitchen. The goal is for congregation members to reach out, show love to those outside the church, and witness to the love of Jesus Christ through their actions. All members are encouraged to play a role in living out the church's mission to love God, love others, and make disciples.
This document contains several passages from the Gospel of John and other books of the Bible. In John 14, Jesus tells his disciples not to be troubled and to trust in God. He promises to prepare a place for them and that he will come back for them. Later in John 14, Jesus says that those who love him will obey his teachings, and that he will ask the Father to send the Holy Spirit to be with the disciples forever.
Session 06 New Testment Overview - Gospel of JohnJohn Brooks
This document contains a fragment from the Gospel of John dated to the first half of the 2nd century CE. The fragment contains text from John 18:31-33 on the front and John 18:37-38 on the back. The document provides an introduction to the Gospel of John, noting its key purpose is to demonstrate that Jesus is the Christ/Son of God and that believing in him leads to eternal life. It summarizes the content and structure of John and examines some of Jesus' claims and miracles in the book that point to his divinity, such as his "I am" statements and turning water to wine.
1) The document contrasts the legacies of King Asa and the Apostle Paul, who both started well but finished differently. Asa started by purging idolatry but later disobeyed God, while Paul went from persecuting Christians to being martyred for spreading the gospel.

Las tres etapas de redacción de los Evangelios fueron: 1) los hechos de la vida de Jesús, 2) la memoria de estos hechos transmitida oralmente, y 3) la escritura de los Evangelios.

The document provides an introduction to the Book of James. It describes how James teaches Christians to apply doctrines learned from other books and turn trials into joy through doing rather than just hearing. The theme of the book is spiritual maturity. James, the author, was the half-brother of Jesus and worked to help Jews transition to Christianity by frequently quoting the Old Testament. He identified himself humbly as a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Bible was written over 1500 years, by many authors in different places and styles. It tells the gradual revelation of God, including his attributes of justice, mercy and power. The central event is Christ's sacrifice on the cross, fulfilling prophecies and allowing reconciliation between God and mankind. The overarching message is that through faith in Christ, humans can be forgiven of their sins and have a close relationship with God as their Father.
This document provides an overview of the four canonical gospels of the New Testament - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. It discusses the intended audiences and key themes of each gospel. The main points are:
- The gospels are based on the words and deeds of Jesus as witnessed by his early followers and are meant to convey what the early Christian community believed about Jesus.
- Matthew, Mark, and Luke are known as the synoptic gospels because they share similar narratives of Jesus' life and ministry. John's gospel has a more theological focus.
- Each gospel was written for a different intended audience - Matthew for Jewish Christians, Mark for persecuted Christians, Luke for Gent
This document provides an introduction and overview of Oswald Chambers' book "If Thou Wilt Be Perfect". It discusses the origins and publication history of the lectures and articles that made up the book. It also provides biographical context about Chambers' education and philosophical influences. The foreword written by David Lambert discusses some of the theological themes in the book, including perfection, faith, and how God works in believers. The document serves to introduce readers to the content and perspectives found in Chambers' book on spiritual philosophy.
The document provides commentary on the beginning of Matthew's gospel. It summarizes Matthew 1, noting that it contains Jesus's genealogy tracing his lineage back to Abraham and David. It highlights some of the women included in Jesus's bloodline, including Tamar and Rahab. It discusses how Matthew presents Jesus as the Jewish Messiah and son of David. The document then summarizes the story of Joseph discovering Mary is pregnant and considering divorcing her secretly, before an angel appears to Joseph in a dream telling him the child was conceived by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus was a real Jewish person who lived in Israel around 2000 years ago. He gathered disciples and his ministry involved preaching, teaching, and healing people. He challenged Jewish traditions and authorities, which ultimately led to his crucifixion. His followers came to believe he had risen from the dead and went on to establish Christianity. Jesus taught using parables and emphasized compassion for all people. Accounts of his life and teachings were written decades later and form the basis of the Christian New Testament.
1) This document summarizes Oswald Chambers' lectures on bringing people unto glory through Jesus Christ. It discusses Jesus' humanity and incarnation, comparing him to the first Adam.
2) It describes how Jesus transformed innocence into holiness through moral choices, obeying God's will instead of his own. He lived a perfect life to show humanity God's ideal.
3) It explains that through regeneration by the Holy Spirit, we can follow Jesus' example and transform our natural lives into spiritual lives aligned with God's will.
The document provides an overview of a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on 1 John 1:1-4. The sermon discusses how John emphasizes the physical reality of Jesus in order to refute the heresy of Docetism. It also examines John's purpose in writing - to establish fellowship with believers and bring them joy by proclaiming the truth about Jesus, the eternal life. False teachings in the early church denied either Jesus' humanity or taught that special knowledge was required for salvation rather than faith in Christ.
The document summarizes the origins and teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses. It describes how Charles Taze Russell founded the movement in the late 19th century based on his own interpretations of the Bible despite having little formal theological education. It notes that Russell's teachings deviated from mainstream Christianity and were controversial. The movement continued developing new doctrines under subsequent leaders like Joseph Rutherford. The document argues that Jehovah's Witnesses' teachings stem from misinterpretations of scripture and lack understanding of key biblical concepts like the relationship between God and Jesus.
Who is Jesus Christ, the central figure of Christianitycaselyn5
The document discusses who Jesus Christ is according to Christianity. It provides background on Jesus' life on earth, including that he was the son of God born of the Virgin Mary, performed miracles, and was crucified and resurrected to save humanity from sin. It emphasizes that Jesus claimed to be divine and that Christians believe he is both fully God and fully man. The document aims to explain Jesus' significance as the central figure of Christianity and Savior of the world.

The document provides historical background on John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress. It discusses that Bunyan was born in 1628 to a poor family, had little education but learned to read the Bible. He spent time in jail for 12 years for preaching without license. While imprisoned, he wrote Pilgrim's Progress, an allegorical tale of a Christian's journey, which became an iconic work and one of the most translated books ever. The document outlines some of the key teachings and lessons of the book, including relying on Christ's righteousness through faith alone and the challenges but hope of spiritual maturity.
The document discusses who Jesus Christ is according to Christianity. It explains that Jesus is the central figure of Christianity, the Son of God who was both fully divine and fully human. It outlines Jesus' life on earth, including his teachings, miracles, crucifixion, death, and resurrection. It asserts that through his suffering and death, Jesus paid for the sins of humanity and conquered death, and that his legacy continues today with one third of the world's population identifying as Christian.
John the Baptist was a relative and precursor of Jesus who lived in the Judean desert. He baptized people in the Jordan River and preached repentance. John recognized Jesus as the Messiah and baptized him, marking the start of Jesus' public ministry. However, John criticized Herod Antipas for marrying his brother's wife, resulting in Herod beheading John at the request of Salome. John paved the way for Jesus and is considered the forerunner of the Messiah.

The document discusses the concept of meekness. It defines meekness as balance between excessive anger and having no anger at all. It provides examples of meekness in historical figures like Moses and Jesus Christ. Moses prayed for the nation of Israel when they accused him and remained faithful to them for 40 years. Jesus ate with sinners, paid taxes he didn't owe, and prayed for forgiveness of those who crucified him. The document states that meekness is having one's flesh bridled through faith in Jesus Christ and his gospel work. It closes by referencing looking forward to a new heaven and new earth according to God's promise.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
