The Holy Spirit comes to live inside every believer at salvation. We have the Spirit on-board. That regular and continuous presence makes a difference in the way that we conduct ourselves. We are created and re-created to worship God with our bodies.
Tabernacle Baptist Church, Spirit sermon series
This lesson from Galatians 5:13-26 discusses the fruit of the Spirit, how the Spirit enables us to fulfill the law of love, to overcome the flesh, and to produce fruit. The works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit are contrasted to show the freedom we have in Christ
Jesus was to be loved with undying loveGLENN PEASE
This is a study of Jesus being loved with undying love. It is to be love that never ends and thus love that influences all that we do in living out the Christian life pleasing to Him.
Numbers 25 and Joshua 22. Phinehas is commended by God for his zealous action done in righteousness. In this lesson we see that his zeal originated with God’s zeal for his people, obeyed God’s authority carefully, acted quickly when necessary, and was righteous in God’s eyes. We are also reminded Phinehas’ zeal is not a license for violence as it has often been misappropriated.
This message is Part 5 of the series “Above & Beyond” by Pastor Chuck Bernal. The title for this message is “Above & Beyond Victory”. This message reminds us about the reality of our spiritual enemy and the battle that all Christians face every day - and the ultimate victory that is ours in Christ.

Projecting the potential impacts of COVID-19 school closures on academic achi...Jim Hsia
In this study, we produce a series of projections of COVID-19-related learning loss and its potential effect on test scores in the 2020-21 school year based on (a) estimates from prior literature and (b) analyses of typical summer learning patterns of five million students. Under these projections, students are likely to return in fall 2020 with approximately 63-68% of the learning
gains in reading relative to a typical school year and with 37-50% of the learning gains in math.
However, we estimate that losing ground during the COVID-19 school closures would not be universal, with the top third of students potentially making gains in reading.

The annual Synopsys Championship showcases students in the Santa Clara County of California who will become our future scientists, technology experts, engineers, and mathematicians. This regional competition celebrates achievement by middle and high school students supported by their parents, teachers, and schools. MCS students competed against public and prestigious private middle schools from Cupertino, Santa Clara, San Jose, Campbell, and Milpitas.
White Paper: Academic Achievement at Milpitas Christian SchoolJim Hsia
In April of each year, students at Milpitas Christian School in grades 2 to 8 take a standardized achievement test (TerraNova 3 Complete Battery). This tool provides detailed diagnostic information, precise norm-referenced achievement scores, a full complement of criterion-referenced objective mastery scores, and performance-level information.
Are Preschoolers Ready for Remote Learning?Jim Hsia
When schools are closed, parents suddenly need to become the “preschool teachers” for their school-aged children. Elementary and middle school students seem comfortable with technology and remote learning, but what about preschool-aged children? Are 2-, 3- and 4-year old children ready for video-based lessons at home?
Milpitas Christian School (MCS) students are performing significantly above national norms in mathematics and math computation, according to the latest standardized tests.
Unless you get their attention, students will never have an opportunity to learn. MCS teachers use their creativity and experience to engage children. Updated May 2020.

Developing the Whole Child - Milpitas Christian PreschoolJim Hsia
When learning is fun, children are more attentive and more motivated. Our interactive activities apply a variety of proven teaching methods to reach all learners—including those who may speak another language at home.
Play-based learning helps young children to build critical communication and collaboration skills without realizing that they are actively learning. Singing, drawing, and counting help kids build academic foundations. Sharing and cooperating with other children allow children to develop social and emotional skills.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

The Chakra System in our body - A Portal to Interdimensional Consciousness.pptxBharat Technology
each chakra is studied in greater detail, several steps have been included to
strengthen your personal intention to open each chakra more fully. These are designed
to draw forth the highest benefit for your spiritual growth.
1. Self-abandonment
1 Peter 1:8-9,13-17
A. Our faith becomes a needs driven religion under the influence of consumerism:
______________ concept (outward)
Instant ____________ (comfort)
_____________ with others (jealousy)
Demand _______________ (competition)
_______________________ (helpless)
Program driven or shopping mall culture of church is to meet the needs of different consumers
B. Needs driven religion gives birth to wrong mindsets:
Messiah complex
Entitlement complex
Self-preservation complex
C. Self-preservation causes confusion in faith:
Man desires the kind of God he wants but not God himself.
The God who only cares for the needs and weakness of man does not exist.
We become helpless in the complacent life of sin
The kind of god we desire could not save us
This god is only an idol believers worship at home
This god enables religious people to survive in daily business with some peace of mind
We do not want to return to the stage of unsaved/unforgiven condition.
But we do not want to pay the price to pursue godly living
We become lost in the gap between the land of slavery and delivery
We thought seminary can give us a boast in our spiritual life
We pursue deep meaning of theology but losing passion of faith
We master the eloquent of spiritual jargon but losing intimate communication with God
D. The crises of faith caused by self-preservation: (Rom 8:22-23; Jer. 29:11; John 15:1-2; 1
Cor. 3:13-15)
2. Man likes to use convenient ways to quench thirst
Man likes to use quick fix means to avoid pain or hardship
Difference between hurt and harm
E. What kind of temptations disciples need to watch out in their growth? (腓 Phi 3:17-19)
• Enemy of the cross (Pluralism)
• God is their stomach (Consumerism)
• Glory in their shame (Relativism)
• Temporal replace eternal (Hedonism)
F. Be careful of post-modern narcissism (2 Tim 3:1-4)
