The document discusses Philip the deacon and missionary. It describes how Philip was chosen as one of the seven deacons to help the apostles. As a deacon, Philip gained honor and confidence to talk about his faith. His service prepared him to receive greater spiritual gifts from God, including teaching, helping the needy, healing, and miraculous powers. Philip became a missionary in Samaria and was directed by an angel to evangelize to an Ethiopian official. His example shows that as Christians use their gifts, God will provide more opportunities to spread the gospel worldwide.

One's Personal Plans vs. God's Plans-- Vincent de Paul's Vocation
One's Personal Plans vs. God's Plans-- Vincent de Paul's VocationFamvin: the Worldwide Vincentian Family
Vincent de Paul initially pursued personal plans focused on obtaining ecclesiastical positions to help his family, but these plans led to unfulfilling situations and crises of faith. Between 1610-1617, Vincent underwent a conversion process where he shifted from living for his own plans to living for God's higher calling of serving the poor. He committed himself to evangelization and reform, finding true purpose and happiness through dedicating his life to those in need according to God's will rather than his own desires.520-6-1 Fivefold Leadership Giftings
The five functional roles mentioned by Paul in Ephesians 4:11,12 represent the breadth of leadership giftings in the local and global church. What are they? How do you describe them?
Ken Fong - Parting Company On The Heroes Journey - 090621
Paul and Barnabas had a sharp disagreement over whether to take John Mark on their missionary journey again after he had deserted them previously. As a result, they parted ways, with Barnabas taking John Mark and sailing for Cyprus while Paul chose Silas and left for Syria and Cilicia. Even heroic partnerships like Paul and Barnabas' can fall apart, though Paul later reconciled with both men. It's important to be open to reconciliation and forgive as people and relationships are imperfect.

3. The Virgin has always been near the Vincentian Family through times of crisis, renewal, and commitment. She invites the family to renew their trust and commitment to the poor. Her presence draws the family to evangel
Chosen to serve Acts 6:1-7
The document discusses the appointment of the first deacons in Acts 6 to help address a complaint about the neglect of Hellenistic widows. It summarizes that the twelve disciples selected seven men of good reputation who were full of the Spirit and wisdom to oversee the daily distribution of food. These men were commissioned as deacons after prayer and the laying on of hands. As a result, the word of God continued to spread and the number of disciples increased greatly in Jerusalem.

Elders & Deacons, Part 3
The document discusses the roles and qualifications of church leaders according to the New Testament. It describes elders/pastors/overseers as those who lead by living godly lives, teaching, guiding, disciplining, being hospitable, and shepherding the flock. Deacons are described as having administrative and financial responsibilities to assist elders in serving the church. Both roles require individuals of high moral character.
Ch 1a & 1b Rooted In History & Culture Rvsd
The document discusses the roots and historical development of Catholic sacraments and traditions. It explains that sacraments originated from informal practices in the early Church and were adapted from cultural rituals. Over time, sacraments became more formalized and standardized through edicts like the Council of Trent to ensure proper celebration. However, Vatican II encouraged a return to more meaningful, vernacular celebrations and appreciation of diverse rites while maintaining sacramental essence.
The high calling
PREFACE
The purpose of this little book can be very
simply stated. It makes no pretence whatever
to be a learned exposition of this gracious
epistle to the Philippians, although I trust that
in no single instance does it pass beyond what
is permitted by sound and accurate scholarship.
I have taken the epistle, and have sought to lift
it out of all remote and fleeting significance, by
laying it side by side with the human interests,
and the spiritual life and needs of our own
day. The letter is alive, and in constant touch
with the abiding concerns of the human heart;
and I have tried, by divesting it of its ancient
phraseology, and giving it modern expression,
to bring its comfort and inspiration to some
who are walking the pilgrim way in our own
time.
Session 1 Equipping the Church in the Workplace
This document discusses equipping Christians for ministry in the workplace. It begins by introducing the author Os Hillman and his role as a pastor to over 150,000 people across 104 countries through daily 2-minute sermons. It then discusses how the modern church often fails to equip believers for their daily work, which was a major focus of Jesus' and Paul's ministries. The bulk of the document examines biblical concepts of work, tracing distortions around sacred vs secular work back to the 4th and 12th centuries. It argues that all work can be ministry and worship when done with excellence for God rather than men. The document aims to shift perspectives on the importance and spiritual nature of the workplace as the primary location where Christians interact with

Celebrating 500 years of the Reformation Part Two
This document summarizes key aspects of the Protestant Reformation, including the imperfections of early reformers like Luther and Calvin, and the "five solas" they rediscovered:
1) Sola Scriptura - Scripture as the supreme authority over church and human reason
2) Sola Gratia - Salvation by grace alone, not works, as a gift from God through faith
3) Sola Fide - Justification by faith alone through trusting in Christ's atonement, not works
4) Solus Christus - Christ alone as mediator between God and humanity
5) Soli Deo Gloria - Glory to God alone based on who He is and what He has
Acts 8:9-17 ~ Simon Magus: The Amazer is Amazed
This week we were introduced to Simon (a.k.a. "Simon the Sorcerer" and "Simon Magus" and the man in whose honor the word "simony" was coined). There's not a lot of information about Simon in the Bible; however, early church fathers wrote about him with enough detail that we are able to sketch his character and his beliefs.
We examined a variety of reasons the apostles sent Peter and John to Samaria, as well as the significance of their "laying on of hands" so the Samaritans would receive the Holy Spirit. We also discussed the curious interpretation of the words "bewitched" and "amazed" in the King James Version.
Jesus was paul's authority
This is a study of Jesus as Paul's authority. He did not get his appointment to apostleship from men, but directly from Jesus.
Lessons from Pauls Missionary Journeys Arturo Elizararras and Gordon Ferguson...
1) Paul strengthened the churches he planted on his first missionary journey by encouraging them to continue in the faith and reporting on God's deeds. This helped connect the churches.
2) On his second journey, Paul communicated decisions from Jerusalem's leaders to obey, showed respect for other churches' cultures, and kept contact between churches.
3) Paul appealed to common practices between churches and promoted equality, mutual commitment and blessings when churches connected through giving and receiving help. This glorified God.
Iowa 4 liturgical
This document discusses four challenges facing Christianity: historical, doctrinal, liturgical, and missional. It examines how Christian practices like baptism, communion, and hymns can either promote hostility or kindness. It argues liturgies should inspire reconciliation rather than reinforce divisions. Specificity in religious education is important to nurture spiritual literacy and understanding of other faiths. The goal is transforming practices that divide into ones that build harmony.
Holy spirit gift of hospitality
This is a collection of writings dealing with the Holy Spirit gift of hospitality that motivates some believers to have a special interest in being friendly to others.
Gospel order 4-20 - qualifications and roles of elders
This document discusses the qualifications and roles of church elders and deacons. It outlines many qualifications that elders should possess, such as being blameless, self-controlled, hospitable, not greedy, and able to manage their household well. The roles of elders include feeding and protecting the flock as shepherds, giving faithful warnings, doing personal ministry in members' homes, looking after the weak and straying, praying for the sick, and instructing on the importance of tithes and offerings. Deacons are to assist by looking after the church's temporal and financial affairs. Elders and deacons are to be chosen from among church members who display these biblical qualifications.
Short Presentation on Pauline Laity: Vocation & Mission
The document discusses the vocation and mission of lay faithful. It covers topics like the call to holiness and mission, being partners in mission by avoiding false distinctions between the sacred and secular. It describes Pauline Cooperators as full sharers in the Pauline mission and their primary responsibility for transforming the world. It discusses the purposes of formation programs which include deepening understanding of one's baptismal call and specifying that call with a Pauline dimension. The document emphasizes experiencing God's love through faith in Christ and contemplating his face, which reveals the Father's face.
02-04-18, Acts 20;18-38, Delivered, Paul's Farewell Sermon
Paul delivers a farewell sermon to the elders of the Ephesus church, summarizing his ministry among them, forewarning of future difficulties, and exhorting them to faithfully shepherd God's people. He recounts his sincere service despite opposition, predicts his coming imprisonment and trials, and urges the elders to protect the flock from false teachers who will distort the truth for their own gain. The elders weep at Paul's pending departure, knowing they will not see his face again.
12. confirmation
The document discusses the history and theology of the sacrament of Confirmation. It describes how the laying on of hands and anointing with chrism oil has traditionally been used to impart the gifts of the Holy Spirit and complete Christian initiation begun in baptism. The rite signifies consecration and imprints an indelible spiritual seal. Through confirmation, one receives the power to publicly profess faith in Christ and participate more fully in his mission.
Hs 02 Love
This document discusses the fruit of love from the Bible. It explains that Christians should show agape love, which is a selfless, sacrificial love defined by qualities like patience, kindness, humility and faithfulness. Agape love should be shown to God above all, to neighbors as ourselves, and even to enemies by treating them with respect. The parable of the Good Samaritan is presented as an example of practicing agape love by selflessly helping a stranger in need without consideration of cost or danger to oneself. True religion consists not of rules but of performing loving deeds for others.
02 Word Of Life
John wrote about his experience with Jesus, who is eternal life, in order to encourage fellowship with God and other believers, and to bring them joy. He wanted readers to share in the fellowship he had with the Father and Son, and to experience the complete joy that comes from that relationship, as he did.
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.
02 jew and gentile
The document discusses conflicts that arose early in the church between Jewish and Gentile Christians over requirements of the Mosaic law and how salvation is obtained. It describes how the council of Jerusalem resolved that Gentiles did not need to follow Jewish traditions or laws. While Jewish believers did not need to impose their customs on Gentiles, Gentiles were asked to avoid offending Jews. The document urges seeking the Holy Spirit's guidance to avoid personal opinions that are not essential for salvation.

The document urges seeking the Holy Spirit's guidance to avoid personal opinions that are not essential for salvation.
Hs 13 Christian Character
This document discusses the fruit of the Spirit from the Bible and counsels from E.G. White. It lists the fruit of the Spirit as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. It emphasizes seeking the kingdom of God and developing Christ-like character through asking the Holy Spirit to cultivate these fruits in one's life. It encourages persevering in spiritual growth rather than becoming disheartened and pressing on toward the goal of developing Christian character.
11 Interpreting Prophetic Writings Eng
The document provides guidance on properly interpreting prophetic writings from the Bible by considering the original message intended for the original audience, the historical time and place of writing, the immediate context of passages, how interpretations align with broader biblical teachings on topics, and potentially applying messages in a spiritual sense when preparing sermons. Key principles include studying all available information on a subject, avoiding extremes, and ensuring interpretations are consistent with Ellen White's overall teachings and literary contexts.
07 rest and restoration
This document discusses the importance of balancing work and rest. It emphasizes that while work was meant to be a blessing from God, excess work can harm our health. Proper rest, including adequate sleep, is essential for physical and mental well-being. The document also discusses the importance of spiritual rest found through Jesus, as well as observing a day of rest, or Sabbath, on a weekly basis as prescribed in the Bible.
05. more woes for the prophet
Jeremiah received harsh messages from God warning of coming disaster and destruction for Judah and Jerusalem. When Jeremiah delivered these messages, he faced intense persecution. The priests and prophets rejected Jeremiah's warnings. Priest Pashhur had Jeremiah beaten and put in stocks. Jeremiah struggled with delivering such difficult messages, but felt God's word was "like a burning fire shut up in my bones." Though he wished he had never been born, Jeremiah continued faithfully proclaiming God's messages despite facing opposition.
07 corporative evangelism
This document discusses strategies for corporate or group evangelism and witnessing. It emphasizes the importance of everyone in the church being involved in spreading the gospel, not just ministers. Members should work together in teams and be aware of each other's efforts so they can provide support. Goals and plans for evangelism activities benefit from input from many church members so there is a shared sense of responsibility. New believers need to be incorporated into the full life of the church to help them mature in their faith. Overall, the document stresses the importance of unity, collaboration, and everyone doing their part to effectively carry out the church's mission.
06 Rejecting Antichrists
The document discusses the antichrist and how to recognize and resist him. It defines the antichrist as anyone who opposes or tries to take Christ's place, including those who taught false doctrines in John's time. Believers can recognize the antichrist by having the anointing of the Holy Spirit within them, knowing and following the truth of Scripture, and not being led astray by those who teach contrary to it. The only way to resist the antichrist is to abide daily in Jesus through surrender and obedience.
12 United To Christ Sef Eng
The document discusses how Christians are united to both Adam and Jesus Christ. It explores key Bible passages that show how through Adam's disobedience sin entered the world, but through Jesus's obedience righteousness and eternal life are available. The document emphasizes that believers are adopted as sons and daughters of God, made new creatures in Christ through baptism, and belong to Christ rather than being ruled by sin as sons of Adam.
11 Daniel Prophet Sef Eng
The document summarizes the story of Daniel and his companions Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah in the pagan land of Babylon. It describes the principles that guided their lives - obedience to God's law, leaving problems in God's hands, obedience to the Ten Commandments, and habit of prayer. It explains how their example of faith influenced King Nebuchadnezzar and King Darius to acknowledge the true God and issue decrees praising him.
13 Power Struggle
John preferred to introduce himself as "the elder" rather than assert authority as an apostle. He did not want to start a personal dictatorship in the church. The document discusses several individuals: Gaius, who was praised for his hospitality in supporting missionary work; Diotrephes, who sought power and control in the church and rejected John's authority; and Demetrius, one of the itinerant teachers who carried John's letter and had a good reputation. John teaches Christians to imitate good behaviors like hospitality and supporting mission work, rather than pursuing power, and to work in the church out of love for the truth.
03 all have sinned
This document discusses how all people, both believers and non-believers, are sinners. It presents passages from Romans chapters 1-3 that state all have sinned and fall short of God's standards. While non-believers live according to sinful desires, believers also sin and should not judge others. The only solution for salvation is through faith in Jesus' death on the cross to pay for sins.

12 gehazi
Gehazi was originally a faithful servant to the prophet Elisha, but over time his focus shifted from serving his master to desiring wealth and possessions for himself. This was shown when he lied to Naaman and took gifts from him against Elisha's wishes. While Gehazi could have continued as a great prophet, his actions showed he had become an unfaithful servant and instead just recounted Elisha's stories. Even so, God still used Gehazi for one last miracle of returning possessions to the Shunammite woman. The lesson encourages readers to remain faithful servants of God and not lose sight of their mission, as God can do great things through them.

05 venid a mi
El documento analiza el significado del descanso en Cristo mencionado en Mateo 11:28-30. Explica que Jesús ofrece un descanso basado en su divinidad y unidad con el Padre. Este descanso se obtiene cuando nos sentimos cansados y cargados y le llevamos nuestras cargas a Jesús para que se haga cargo de ellas.

05 come to me
This document provides a summary of Matthew 11:28-30 about finding rest in Christ. It examines the context of the passage and what it means to take Christ's yoke. Key points include: 1) Jesus offers rest because he is one with God; 2) To find rest, we must feel the need for it and bring our burdens to Jesus; 3) Christ's yoke makes burdens easier to carry as we submit to his will. The yoke represents submitting to God's law of liberty rather than heavy burdens of works or slavery. With Christ's strength, his yoke is light.
04 the cost of rest
David committed adultery with Bathsheba and arranged for her husband Uriah to be killed. He tried to conceal his sins but was confronted by Nathan. David repented and confessed his sins. Though forgiven, David still faced consequences for his actions, including the death of his child with Bathsheba. However, through repentance, David was able to find joy in God's salvation again. True repentance requires a changed heart and relying on God rather than oneself to resist sin going forward. David's story shows both the possibility of forgiveness for even grave sins, as well as the consequences of sin despite repentance.
