Why We Need to Be Rooted in Jesus
This document discusses the importance of being rooted in Jesus Christ. It provides several Bible passages from Colossians that explain why we need to be rooted in Jesus. Colossians 1:15-17 describes Jesus as the exact likeness of God, the creator of all things visible and invisible. Colossians 1:18-20 states that Jesus is the head of the church and through his death on the cross God made peace and brought all things back to himself. Colossians 1:21-23 says that without Jesus we were separated from God as enemies, but through his death we have been made holy and brought back to God without flaw through faith in Jesus. The document emphasizes staying rooted in Jesus rather than following other
Homily: Feast of the Epiphany 2020
So, when there is so much turmoil, so much fear, so much uncertainty, so much unrest in our world and in our lives, it is easy to ask, “Where is this epiphany, this manifestation of the Lord?” I think the answer lies within two key lines of today’s Gospel. What are those lines? And why should we carry those lines with us each day? Check it out…

The document provides information about upcoming events at the First Southern Baptist Church of North Hollywood. It includes details about a free mini-brunch on November 5th after daylight savings time ends and a Thanksgiving potluck on November 19th. It also lists church members celebrating birthdays and anniversaries in November and recent Sunday service attendance numbers. The last section summarizes an article about the role of conviction in effective prayer and revival, emphasizing that conviction of sin comes through the Holy Spirit's work, not believers themselves, and that believers should pray for conviction for themselves, other believers, acquaintances, and all unbelievers worldwide.
Rick Warren, Purpose Driven Life: Section 36
This document discusses the importance of an individual's mission from God to share the gospel with others. It makes several key points:
1) Jesus calls all Christians to continue his mission on Earth of preaching the gospel and making disciples. Fulfilling this mission is mandatory for obedience.
2) For many people, a Christian individual may be the only exposure they have to the gospel. It is their mission to share Jesus with them.
3) An individual's mission has eternal significance, as the eternal destiny of those they witness to depends on their efforts. Their mission gives life ultimate meaning.

05 how to be saved
The document provides teachings on the steps to salvation according to Jesus. It explains that salvation comes through God's grace by recognizing our sinful nature, repenting of sins, having faith in Jesus through accepting his righteousness, and following him. While humans can recognize their sins and repent, it is God who gives the faith to believe and enables repentance. True faith is not just mental belief but a personal trust in Jesus as savior. The righteousness received through faith in Christ covers believers, allowing them to enter God's kingdom. Ongoing salvation requires abiding in Jesus' teachings and being his disciples by living according to the Bible and sharing him with others. Salvation is solely a gift from God and cannot be earned or deserved through
Sound an holy alarm in my holy mountain 2
This document discusses the dangers of compromising biblical standards and conforming to worldly practices in order to gain popularity or converts. It provides several quotes warning against lowering the standard of truth, conforming to tradition over Scripture, and uniting with worldly customs. Compromising the gospel message and adopting pagan practices is what led to the apostasy and corruption of the early church. True conversion comes through preaching repentance from sin and elevation to Christlike standards, not by accommodating sin. Faithfulness to God and his word should be the highest priority, over seeking popularity or victory.
What is salvation
According to the Bible, the key issue facing mankind is sin (i.e. missing the mark that God has set for us). This presentation outlines how mankind lost its way from the original creation, the consequences of sin (the worst consequence being the separation from God) and God's salvation plan (through which God reconciles mankind to Himself through the full and final work of Jesus on the Cross). This salvation is free. But missing this could cost you etern

What is Christian Salvation?
1) Christian salvation involves being united with Christ through faith, which roots a person in Christ's redemptive work and shapes them to be like Christ.
2) Union with Christ is the central truth of salvation, with people being chosen in Christ before creation and their salvation established through Christ's work.
3) Salvation involves being regenerated, or made alive in Christ, and continuing to live by faith in union with Christ through which a person is justified, sanctified, and ultimately conformed to Christ.
HOUSE RULES FOR A GREAT CHRISTIAN FAMILY
This document discusses establishing house rules for a Christian family. It recommends setting rules in key areas like schedules, spending, responsibilities, speech, and attitudes. The rules are meant to create order and discipline children. Consequences like warnings, sanctions, and rod application should be given for non-compliance. However, rule-abiding children should receive motivation and rewards. Consistency is important to uphold the rules at all times. The goal is to raise children in the training and instruction of the Lord.
Wheres_Jesus_in_Exodus_part1_Patterns_in_Exodus
Paul looks back to Israel's history in the wilderness following the Exodus to draw lessons for the Corinthians about not grumbling or testing God as Israel did. He references specific events where Israel engaged in idolatry, sexual immorality, or put Christ to the test and faced consequences. Paul uses these examples to warn believers about overconfidence leading to disobedience and falling away from faith in God, who provides escape from temptation.
Paul's arrest
Paul wanted to go to Jerusalem to minister to the Jews, but he received warnings from disciples telling him it was not God's will. However, Paul was determined to go, motivated by his strong love and desire to reach out to the Jewish people. When in Jerusalem, things went badly for Paul and he found himself arrested. The document warns that when we act outside of God's will, there can be difficulties and consequences as our desires may not align with God's plans. Ultimately, God's will prevails.
Wisdom to deal with failure
1) The document discusses how failure is inevitable but Christians can overcome it through God's grace and by learning from mistakes.
2) It outlines mature attitudes towards failure, such as acknowledging mistakes, learning from them, and moving forward with God's help.
3) The conclusion emphasizes that while believers may fail God, God will never fail his people. Failure can strengthen faith and drive us closer to relying on God's mercy and grace.
WORSHIP - YL Khong
The document discusses worship in the Old Testament based on passages from Exodus that describe how God instructed the Israelites to worship in the tabernacle according to exact specifications. It notes that God desired order and obedience in worship and that the tabernacle symbols prefigured spiritual realities revealed in Christ. The document contrasts OT worship with worship in the New Testament, which involves the inner spirit and truth rather than external rituals, with a focus on lives of obedience, mercy, and justice rather than sacrifices alone.
The Local Church and its problems part 2
This document summarizes a sermon on 1 Corinthians 11-14 about problems in the early church in Corinth regarding participation in public gatherings. It discusses issues around head coverings for men and women based on principles of divine headship.

Joseph and Potiphar’s Wife - Lim Ah Kow
This document summarizes the biblical story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife found in Genesis 39. It discusses how Joseph was tempted by Potiphar's wife on multiple occasions to engage in sexual immorality but resisted through relying on his loyalty to God. Despite doing nothing wrong, Joseph was falsely accused and imprisoned. Even in prison though, God continued to bless Joseph and use him. Some lessons highlighted are that temptation can come unexpectedly, those who honor God are rewarded, and temptation should be resisted immediately by calling on the Lord.
Phil 1:27-2:4 The Practice of Unity
This document outlines how Christians should conduct themselves in a way that is worthy of the gospel and maintain unity. It discusses that true unity involves being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, and esteeming others above oneself. Maintaining unity through humility and mutual care allows Christians to work towards common goals and reap the fruits of harmony. The document encourages examining one's own conduct and unity based on these principles.
Esther Chap 7-9
King Xerxes ruled Persia in the 5th century BC. He chose Esther, a young Jewish woman, to be his new queen after removing the previous queen. Esther's cousin Mordecai served in the king's court. Haman, the king's top adviser, plotted to kill all Jews. Esther revealed she was Jewish and appealed to the king to save her people. The king discovered Haman's plot and had him executed. A decree was issued allowing the Jews to defend themselves. On the appointed day, the Jews defeated their enemies who intended to kill them. This was the origin of the Jewish festival of Purim. Though God is never mentioned, his providence is seen in delivering the
Zephaniah
Zephaniah warns of the coming Day of the Lord, a time of God's judgment. God has grown tired of Judah's idolatry and wickedness. The Day of the Lord will bring sweeping destruction, like a floor being thoroughly cleaned. God will judge the idolaters, leaders, merchants, and those who do not seek Him. However, those who seek the Lord with righteousness and humility will find redemption.
Idolatry and its Terrible Consequences Eze 8,9,10 Lim Ah Kow
1. Ezekiel chapters 8-10 describe idolatry in Israel and its terrible consequences. Ezekiel has a vision of increasing idolatry within the Temple itself, including idol images, pagan worship of Tammuz, and priests worshiping the sun.
2. As punishment for this idolatry, God sends men with weapons to slaughter the people, though some who weep over the sins of Israel are spared.
3. Jerusalem is destroyed in 586 BC and God's glory departs from the Temple, which will not feel God's presence again until Jesus' time. While God promises future restoration, the consequences of idolatry - the worship of anything other than God - are severe.
Introduction to Romans
Paul wrote the letter to the Romans to encourage the church in Rome and preach the gospel. Rome was the center of the Roman Empire with a population of 3 million, including many Gentiles and Jews. Paul sought to allay tensions between Jews and Gentiles in the church by explaining that all are equally sinful and can only be justified by faith in Christ. The letter systematically explains key theological themes like sin, justification, faith, God's relationship with the Jews, and righteous living.
16th march phil 3 8 14
The document discusses Paul's desire to know Christ more fully through faith and attain the resurrection of life. It says Paul viewed his personal accomplishments as worthless and wanted to know Christ's righteousness, power of resurrection, and sufferings. The document states Paul's goal was to have an ongoing personal relationship with Christ and continue making progress in knowing Him more until the resurrection, rather than becoming satisfied. It emphasizes Paul pressed on toward the goal of knowing Christ better as the one most important thing.
Zephaniah 3 Lim Ah Kow
Zephaniah warned of coming judgment on Judah and other nations for idolatry and sin, but also provided hope for a remnant. God will restore Israel and Judah, removing pride and impurity so his people can worship him with joy. Though once despised, God's people will be exalted and praised everywhere as he restores them from exile and draws them from every nation.
Joseph and his brothers Part I
The document summarizes several chapters from the book of Genesis that tell the story of Joseph and his brothers. It describes how Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery in Egypt out of jealousy, and how God later used Joseph to help the brothers and many others during a famine by elevating Joseph to a position of power in Egypt. It notes that Joseph told his brothers "God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives," showing that God allowed Joseph to be hurt but used it for His purposes. The document suggests this reflects a biblical theme that God sometimes allows people to be harmed but intends it for good reasons like saving lives or furthering His plans.

The document provides details from Genesis chapters 1 and 2 about the creation of man and woman. It summarizes that in chapter 2, man is created alone from dust and given life by God breathing into him. God puts the man to sleep and creates woman from one of the man's ribs to be his companion and suitable helper. The document discusses how man and woman are equally created in God's image but with different roles and responsibilities within a relationship of interdependence.
Introduction to Ezekiel
This document summarizes the book of Ezekiel, beginning with background on Ezekiel as a prophet. It then outlines the book's three main parts: judgment on Judah (chapters 1-24), judgment on surrounding nations (chapters 25-32), and blessings for Judah's restoration (chapters 33-48). Key events and visions described include Ezekiel's commissioning, the siege and destruction of Jerusalem, oracles against neighboring peoples, the valley of dry bones vision, and a vision of a restored temple.
Introduction to Genesis Part I
The document provides an overview of the structure and themes of Genesis. It is divided into two parts: the History of Mankind from Genesis 1-11 and the History of the Jews from Genesis 12-50. There are 10 generations or accounts that make up the book, with each section telling the story of a man and his descendants. Key points include how Genesis shows man's inadequacy without God across natural, human, and spiritual relationships. It also highlights Jesus as foreshadowed in several characters and events within Genesis including Joseph, Isaac, Melchizedek, and the serpent prophecy.
Christian Maturity Introduction Part I & II
This document discusses Christian maturity and growth. It introduces the concept of bearing spiritual fruit as the ultimate goal of Christian maturity. Some agents that promote growth are discussed, including God's word, church leaders, fellowship with other believers, trials in life, and the Holy Spirit. The purpose of maturity is also addressed, saying that Christians should pursue spiritual goals that honor God, such as those outlined by Paul in Philippians 3 of pressing on toward the goal.

Seeing is Not Believeing
Jesus finds a man who was formerly blind but can now see after Jesus healed him. The man believes in Jesus as the Son of Man and worships Him. Jesus says He came so that those who are blind may see, while those who think they see will become blind. The Pharisees argue they are not blind, but Jesus says that since they claim to see, their sin remains.
Austin Christian Executives: Hebrews 1-7 (March 28, 2014)

The document summarizes a sermon on Galatians chapter 1. It discusses how Paul confronts false teachings that had arisen in the Galatian churches.

Paul asserts that salvation comes only through faith in Christ, not by works of the law. He defends his authority as an apostle, noting that he received his gospel directly from Jesus Christ, not from the other apostles.

These false teachers forbid marriage and certain foods. Paul teaches Timothy to instruct the church using the whole counsel of God and to be an example to believers in his conduct.

11-03-19, Ephesians 5;1-14, Walking in Love
This document provides an overview and analysis of Ephesians 5:1-14. It begins by explaining that Paul wrote Ephesians to describe how Jews and Gentiles are now united as one body in Christ. The passage encourages Christians to imitate God by walking in love as Christ loved us and gave himself for our sins. It warns that those engaging in immoral, impure or greedy behaviors are not walking as children of light and will not inherit the kingdom of God. Finally, it contrasts the Christian life of light with the darkness of those still disobedient to God.

07 July 21, 2013 1 Thessalonians 2;7 12, Follow-up & The Care Of New ChristiansFirst Baptist Church Jackson
The document summarizes Paul's teaching in 1 Thessalonians 2:7-12 about how Christians should care for and disciple new believers. Paul uses the metaphors of a mother and father to illustrate the kind of spiritual care that is needed. As a mother tenderly cares for her children, mentors should show gentleness, intimate affection, and sacrificial love towards new Christians. They should impart not just the gospel message but their own lives as well. The goal is for new believers to walk worthily before God and become disciple-makers themselves.09-02-18, Galatians 1;1-24, Only One Gospel
This document contains the summary of a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on Galatians 1:1-24. The sermon discusses how some Jewish Christians, called Judaizers, were telling Gentile believers in the Galatian churches that they had to follow Jewish customs like circumcision to be saved. This perverted the gospel message Paul preached, which was that salvation comes through faith in Christ alone, not by works of the law. Paul defends his authority as an apostle who received revelation from Christ, not from the other apostles. He warns that any gospel contrary to the one he preached should be cursed.
Discipleship book1
All have sinned and fallen short of God's perfect standard. When a person becomes a Christian, all of their sins - past, present and future - are forgiven. God's solution to sin is found through Jesus Christ. When He died on the cross, Jesus paid the penalty for our sins so that we might be forgiven and made righteous through faith in Him.
1. Why is the Gospel Important?
The first teaching in the series "Growing Deep in the Gospel". In this teaching we answer the question "Why is the Gospel Important?" by looking at Romans 1:16, several other Bible verses and quotes from pastors and Christian authors. Then in light of the importance of the gospel we look at what we should do with the gospel.
Dr Viju - 1
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.

This document provides a summary and analysis of Mark 2:1-12, where Jesus heals a paralyzed man. It notes that Jesus first forgives the man's sins, angering teachers of the law who say only God can forgive sins. To prove he has authority to forgive, Jesus then heals the paralyzed man. The document examines the theological and historical context, including Jewish beliefs about sin and suffering. It emphasizes that Jesus met both the man's physical and spiritual needs, and that forgiveness of sins through faith in Christ is God's plan to redeem mankind.

1. The document discusses modern prophets and visions, explaining how God communicates with prophets through visions, dreams, and direct revelation from the Holy Spirit. It provides biblical examples of prophets throughout history.
2. It addresses how to identify true prophets, noting that their message will be in harmony with Scripture and they will point people to Jesus. False prophets use methods like astrology, spiritism, and fortune telling.
3. The document argues that the spiritual gifts of prophets and prophecy will remain in the church until Jesus' return, and churches need these gifts to avoid being led astray by false doctrines. Believing God's prophets allows one to prosper spiritually.

Justification [1] way of the Gentiles - Lim Ah Kow

1. Paul thanks the Philippians for renewing their support of him after some time had passed. Though he has learned to be content in all circumstances, their gift was still appreciated and a blessing to his ministry work.
2. Paul explains that he does not seek their gifts out of personal need, but because their giving supports the spread of the gospel and brings spiritual blessings. Their generous support from the early days of Paul's ministry in Philippi stood out compared to other churches.

3) The blessings foretell the character and destiny of each tribe, with Judah receiving praise for future kingship until the coming of the Messiah. Joseph is blessed with fruitfulness for his faithfulness to God during hardship.

sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
The Significance of the Locust Army in Revelation 9
The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.
The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docx
John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.

The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.

Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.
These follow certain well defined laws of nature and are controlled by nervous (electrical) and chemical (hormones) mechanisms to bring about movement and action in each and every cell.
Thus annamaya kosha is the physical frame which the grossest of the five Koshas.Recently uploaded (20)
