Two fold mission 8-5-12
1) The document discusses the two-fold mission of the church - mission within the household of faith and mission to the world.
2) Mission within the household of faith involves knowing and loving God with one's heart, soul, strength and mind through prayer, devotion, and worship. It also involves serving and ministering within the church.
3) Mission to the world involves using one's gifts to serve God and neighbor, giving resources to help others, and demonstrating Christ's love outside the church. The mission aims to set all of God's creation free from decay and bring liberty.
A relentless faith
Moses was a man of great faith who made difficult choices to follow God. He refused the pleasures of Egypt to identify with God's people, even though it meant suffering. Moses chose to endure hardship and rejection rather than renounce Christ. He looked past temporary pleasures to the eternal reward of God's kingdom. His example teaches us to make righteousness our priority and dedicate ourselves fully to serving Christ.
Married vocation
God is the author of marriage and established it to be a lifelong union between one man and one woman. Marriage helps overcome self-absorption and opens one to love and care for their spouse. God calls both men and women to the fundamental vocation of love through marriage. A successful marriage reflects Christ's love for the Church and allows a couple to cooperatively care for creation. Discerning whether one is called to married life involves reflecting on how to be fruitful while single and preparing oneself for that commitment through addressing challenges with God's grace.
Sabbath school lesson 1, 2nd quarter 2019
This document discusses different types of changes: cyclic changes like the seasons that follow natural rhythms established by God, and non-cyclic changes like unexpected life events. It notes how God created order and rhythms to govern life on Earth, like the cycles of day and night, growth and reproduction in plants and animals. The rhythms of a human life include stages like childhood, youth, adulthood, and old age. While these rhythms are same for all, how each person experiences them differs. The document also discusses transitions between life stages, unexpected changes that disrupt routines, and how our interactions with others can bring changes for better or worse, so Christians should be a good influence.
Message series awakening - part 5 - awakening to regret - pastor chuck bern...
This message is Part 5 in the message series “AWAKENING” by Pastor Chuck Bernal. In this message titled, “Awakening To Regret”, Pastor Chuck talks about how we often live with the pain of guilt and regret - but that is never God's intention for us. Using Romans 5:12-17, he then talks about how we can experience God's amazing grace that is greater than all of our sin. This message was delivered at LifePointe Church in Crowley, TX on Sunday, May 21, 2017.
Whispers - How God's Providence Works Today
This document discusses God's providence today and how he still interacts with his followers, though not through miracles. It provides examples from the Old Testament of God's providence seen through the stories of Joseph and Ruth. While God was with certain biblical figures, they still experienced hardship, showing that God's providence does not prevent all suffering but instead shows his will unfolding over time.
Hs 07 Goodness
This document discusses the fruit of the spirit of goodness. It explains that only God is truly good, but that humans can achieve goodness through allowing the Holy Spirit to work in them. True goodness comes from having one's heart transformed by God's grace. Good works alone do not make one good - it is having the fruit of goodness planted within by the Spirit. Christians are called to demonstrate their goodness through kind acts done with humility and for the benefit of others. True goodness is a gift from God, not something we earn ourselves.
Sabbath school lesson 5, 4th quarter 2021
Deuteronomy teaches that God commands people to love strangers as a reflection of His own love. It gives three reasons why people should love strangers: 1) Because God loves them and provides for them, 2) Because the Israelites were once strangers in Egypt, and 3) To treat strangers fairly and with care, as God does. Loving strangers involves having compassion for their difficulties, identifying with them, and ensuring equal treatment under the law.

09 turn their hearts
God desires our conversion and repentance so that we may be restored to a right relationship with Him. God takes the initiative through His grace to call us to repentance, but it is also our role to respond by repenting of sins, turning away from evil, and obeying God with all our heart. True repentance involves acknowledging sins, feeling shame and sorrow for wrongdoing, and resolving to sin no more. God wants us to willingly return to Him and obey out of love, not out of force. He provides the means of forgiveness and transformation through faith in Jesus Christ.

Responding to God's Priceless Promises | Neil Bester | 30 October 2016
This document summarizes key points from 2 Peter 1:1-11 about responding to God's promises. It discusses how:
God has given us everything we need through His power to live godly lives and receive great promises. These promises allow us to share in God's divine nature. We are called to make every effort to respond to God's promises through faith and growing in excellence, knowledge, self-control, godliness, love and more. Responding to God's promises leads to hope, growth, and being chosen for God's eternal kingdom.
Grace 09 jan10
The document discusses the concept of grace. It begins by asking questions about grace, such as what the world would look like without it. It then provides Bible verses that contrast the "grace track" with performance, legalism, and sin tracks.

The document encourages applying God's grace in situations and ensuring no one misses out on His grace.

Misconceptions about God (O.T.)
Many people look at the Old Testament and see a God that is only condemning and unloving God. However, when they look at the New Testament they see a God that is loving, merciful, gracious and forgiving. In this lesson we examine the scriptures to see if the God of the Old Testament is really as we think and present a correct and balanced view of God. www.cmcoc.org

Love, the greatest commandment: Part 4
We will want to spend time with others reading God’s Word and showing Him our love through praise on the Sabbath day. We will also want to include God in our lives daily by studying His Word to learn more about Him and enjoying communicating with Him in prayer frequently every day. When we love God with all of our heart, soul, and mind, and our neighbor as ourselves, we will make time for Jesus as the fourth commandment instructs.
Message THE PERSON GOD USES - 05-15-16
God uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways. The document discusses how God chooses those who are weak, foolish, humble, compassionate, imperfect, forgiven, faithful and surrendered. God uses ordinary people so that no one can boast and all glory goes to God. The document encourages the reader to fully give their life to God so that he can use them for his purposes.

Before we go two
The document discusses the foundation of faith toward God, which involves believing in God's existence, nature, and revelation in scripture. It explains that faith requires hearing God's word, wanting to do God's will, and believing unto righteousness. Faith is described as the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things unseen. The document outlines how to develop faith through dwelling on God's word and walking, praying, resisting evil, and overcoming the world by faith. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of obedience to the faith system of Christ.
A godly mother
The document discusses how to be godly and what makes a godly mother according to the Bible. It provides several Bible verses about how to be godly by watching over one's heart, being a doer of God's word, and turning to God. A godly mother is described as a blessing to her husband by supporting him, being hospitable, and managing her household well. She is also a blessing to her children by caring for them and raising them in God's word. Finally, a godly mother blesses the church by raising children who stand firm in their faith.
Unexpected: An Unexpected Invitation_Mary
Mary and Joseph have a shared experience from the opposite side. Last week we saw how Joseph initially viewed Mary’s pregnancy from the perspective of one who had been betrayed. Mary learns of her pregnancy before it happens in the context of an angelic visit. The Angel Gabriel invites Mary to take a most pivotal role in God’s great plan of redemption. It’s a holy invitation but not necessarily an offer you can’t refuse. Mary says yes and in doing so everything about her life will immediately change in an overwhelming way. Saying “Yes” to God is scary. The only scarier thing is saying, “No” and reaping the consequence of living life outside of God’s perfect plan and purpose. We all ultimately are faced with the same choice as Mary. Angels are rooting that we will say “Yes”.

Introduction to AWD
This document discusses the Christian responsibility to care for the environment and addresses climate change. It argues that climate change threatens life on Earth and the global economy is its main driver. While the Church has sided with the economy, care for God's creation is at the heart of Christian identity. It calls Christians to take responsibility by promoting sustainability and justice for future generations. Quotes from the Bible emphasize themes of joy, repentance, hope, and acting justly in caring for the planet God created.
Transformed by renewing our minds pt
This document provides a summary of Mike Bickle's teaching on being transformed by renewing our mind according to Romans 12:1-2. It outlines five transforming truths from the passage: 1) God views our sacrifice as holy and pleasing, 2) He commits to lead our lives in a good, pleasing, and perfect will. It then explores each of these truths in more detail, explaining concepts like God's master plan for our lives and how presenting our bodies to Him as a living sacrifice expresses our love despite being flawed. The document stresses that transformation begins by renewing our mind to know God and our identity in Christ, and refusing to be conformed to worldly values and lusts. Our emotions and actions will change as
Vintage contemplation fortransformation_5.21.17
The document discusses the true goal of prayer as transformation rather than controlling God or others. It describes contemplative prayer as pulling people out of focusing on the painful past, distracted present, and anxious future, and leading to a kind of "divine therapy". Habitual prayer is presented as an act of submission towards transformation, using the story of Peter's vision and realization that God shows no partiality in Acts 10 as an example of how prayer can lead to revelation, communication from God, and transformation through love.

It notes that fornication exercises authority over people, that the body is not designed for fornication, and that our bodies will be raised. The sexual relationship is designed for marriage alone. Fornication is a sin against the body, and believers were bought with a price, so they should honor God with their bodies. The document encourages believers to glorify God by being in His body, the church, and asks if any are preventing themselves from glorifying God.

Paul writes his second letter to Timothy to encourage him in his ministry as the church faces increasing opposition and false teachings. Paul reminds Timothy of the need to remain faithful to Scripture and preach it boldly. He warns Timothy about the perilous times to come with more people rejecting sound doctrine. Despite Paul's impending death, he expresses confidence that he fought the good fight and kept the faith so that he will receive the crown of righteousness.
Tour of Living Letters: Introduction to 1 Timothy
1 Timothy provides instructions to Timothy on organizing the church in Ephesus and setting moral and spiritual guidelines for church leadership. It addresses conducting worship services properly, qualifications for overseers and deacons, and how preachers should lead by example in their teachings and lives. Key themes include order in the church, love, godliness, and pursuing righteousness. The purpose is to ensure the church upholds the truth and believers know how to behave with good conduct.
Tour of Living Letters: Introduction to 2 Thessalonians
The document provides background information on the biblical book of 2 Thessalonians. It discusses the purpose of 2 Thessalonians, which was to encourage the fledgling church in Thessalonica and address misunderstandings about Christ's return. The central theme is described as "patient waiting, watching and working." Key points covered include correcting misunderstandings about the timing of Christ's return and commanding the Thessalonians to work as they wait.
Tour of Living Letters: Introduction to 1 Thessalonians
1. 1 Thessalonians focuses on godly living in light of Christ's second coming. It portrays a healthy, growing church and has a gentle, affectionate tone.
2. The letter emphasizes expectancy around Christ's return and gives an early picture of a primitive New Testament church. It uses no Old Testament quotes.
3. The outline discusses how Christ's coming is an inspiring, encouraging, and purifying hope and a comforting hope for believers.
Tour of Living Letters: Introduction to Titus
This document provides an overview of the key elements in the book of Titus in the New Testament. It discusses Titus' background and role in helping Paul with ministry work. The purpose of the letter was for Titus to set things in order on the island of Crete. Key themes included salvation through Christ, Christian conduct and ethics, and how believers should live out their faith through good works. Several key passages emphasize the importance of good works for believers and how God's grace teaches us to reject worldliness. Overall, the book of Titus provides instruction for church leaders and congregations on maintaining sound doctrine and faith through righteous living.
Teach me Pharisee!
The document criticizes the hypocrisy and legalism of the Pharisees. It discusses how the Pharisees upheld unhealthy traditions over God's commands, placed heavy burdens on others but not themselves, sought attention and praise from others for their outward displays of righteousness, had misplaced zeal for trivial rule-following rather than justice and mercy, and missed the overall message and purpose of God's law due to their focus on minor technicalities.
How the Bible came to us
The Bible was carefully preserved and transmitted over thousands of years. The Old Testament was meticulously hand-copied by scribes. Dead Sea Scroll fragments and the Masoretic Text demonstrate the reliable transmission of the Hebrew Bible. For the New Testament, over 6,000 manuscripts exist from as early as the 2nd century, along with quotations from early church fathers, establishing the New Testament text as reliable. While no autographs remain, accurate copies can establish truth through comparison and scrutiny of manuscripts.

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
