The document outlines several reasons for knowing the Bible: 1) To have everlasting life, as the Bible is the only source of perfect knowledge of God and Jesus Christ. 2) To know the greatest book ever written, as it was authored by God and equips one to serve God. 3) To know one's purpose and destiny, as the Bible answers questions about human origin, nature, and mission. 4) To be saved from sin, as the Bible alone explains how to be saved through believing the gospel.

Sabbath school lesson 9, 1st quarter of 2017
The Holy Spirit acts to unite both individuals and the Church as a whole. The document outlines several ways the Spirit accomplishes this unity:
1) Through uniting believers with Christ as the cornerstone and foundation.
2) Through baptism, which symbolizes dying to the old life and being reborn into the body of the Church.
3) Through the Word of God, as both the living Word (Christ) and written word strengthen unity.
4) Through shared faith and doctrine based on biblical teachings.
5) Through united mission and service, as seen in the early Church's fellowship, sharing, and outreach after Pentecost.
7 the bible institue
The Bible can be defined as the sacred book containing God's Word written by many authors under the Holy Spirit's guidance. It is important because it contains God's revelation and laws and the story of Jesus Christ. The Bible distinguishes itself from other books by revealing God to mankind, introducing Jesus as the way to salvation, speaking truth, and describing Jesus as the central figure. The Bible has two main divisions, the Old and New Testaments, and contains historical, poetic, prophetic, gospel, epistle and revelation books. It thoroughly equips people for righteousness through teaching, rebuking and correcting.
Sabbath school lesson 11, 1st quarter of 2017
The document discusses ways to honor the Holy Spirit, including not resisting, grieving, quenching, or blaspheming against Him. It explains that resisting involves rejecting the Spirit's call, grieving means willfully sinning despite His sanctifying presence, quenching means being indifferent to spiritual truths, and blasphemy is deliberate and persistent rejection of Christ's salvation. The document encourages submitting to, obeying, and accepting the Spirit's guidance in order to please Him and experience His transforming power.
04 personality of holy spirit
The document discusses the Holy Spirit as a divine person rather than a force. It provides examples from Jesus and scripture describing the Spirit's personal aspects like teaching, testifying, and interceding. While the Spirit is not visible like Jesus, referring to the Spirit as a "power" or "force" is illogical based on biblical passages that refer to the Spirit's will, love, and ability to be grieved - all personal traits that a non-personal force could not possess. Surrendering fully to the Holy Spirit as a divine person allows God to transform us and prepare us for His work.
02 working behind the scenes
The document discusses the work of the Holy Spirit. It explains that the Holy Spirit works in mysterious ways that are often hidden or behind-the-scenes. The Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus and works to attract people to Him. It also discusses how the Holy Spirit played a role in Creation, in the life and ministry of Jesus, and now works in the lives of believers to teach them about Jesus and transform them into His likeness through the fruit of the Spirit.
03 divinity holy spirit
The document discusses the divine nature of the Holy Spirit based on evidence from the Bible. It provides biblical examples showing that the Spirit possesses attributes like omniscience and eternity that only God has. It also describes how the Spirit works together with God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son in God's plan of redemption, such as renewing believers and raising Jesus from the dead. The conclusion is that denying the divinity of the Holy Spirit amounts to denying the Spirit's power to transform lives, convince of sin, and resurrect, and goes against the Bible presenting the three persons of the Godhead as equal.
2. What is the Gospel?
The second study in our "Growing Deep in the Gospel" series in which we answered the question, "What is the Gospel?" In answering the question we looked at how the word "gospel" was used in Jesus' day and how the Bible describes the gospel. We also looked at what is the heart of the gospel, a outline of the basic gospel message and an outline of the gospel based on the entire Bible.
5 baptism
The document discusses the different types of baptism mentioned in the New Testament, including: 1) the baptism of John the Baptist, 2) the baptism of suffering of Jesus, 3) baptism in water, and 4) baptism in the Holy Spirit. It defines baptism as submerging a person totally in water, representing their union with Christ. The importance, requirements, and benefits of water baptism are outlined, including identifying with Christ's death and resurrection, the example set by Jesus, and receiving the Holy Spirit.

Sabbath school lesson 13, 1st quarter of 2018
God wants us to be faithful stewards who reflect His character through our lives. When we practice godliness, contentment, trust, and being a good influence, it brings spiritual blessings both now and in the future. At Jesus' return, faithful stewards will hear "Well done, good and faithful servant" and enter into eternal joy. Our goal should be to imitate Christ's selfless character through good works so that we may be a blessing to others and find contentment in this life as we prepare for life with God forever.
01 the spirit and the word
The Holy Spirit is the revealer and inspirer of God's written Word, the Bible. The Spirit revealed truths to the Bible authors that they could not understand on their own. Revelation is the truth imparted by the Spirit, while inspiration describes how the Spirit moved people to communicate that truth through their own words. The Bible authors expressed the truths according to their contexts, but the Spirit ensured their writings were reliable and trustworthy. While their writing processes differed, the Spirit always guided them to explain God's thoughts accurately. The Spirit continues guiding people into understanding the doctrinal truths of the Bible so they can know God and be saved. If a teaching contradicts the Bible, it cannot be from the Spirit.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is described as a helper, advocate, and guide who convicts of sin and glorifies Christ. There is a distinction made between baptism into the body of Christ and baptism into the Spirit. Initial evidence of Spirit baptism includes speaking in tongues and manifesting the fruit of the Spirit. Gifts of the Spirit include knowledge, verbal, and power gifts and are operated by the Spirit's will to glorify Christ, not for human purposes.
God's transforming power in our life - OLL-KLG-GSS-2010
The document discusses how an individual is responsible for revolutionizing their own life by changing themselves and moving beyond limiting beliefs. It emphasizes that true change comes from within when a person goes beyond surface-level changes in circumstances or other people. The document also discusses biblical concepts like sin, obedience to God, spiritual maturity, and putting on the armor of God to resist evil. It provides an overview of Catholic teachings on the Holy Spirit and how He builds, animates, and sanctifies the Church through ministry and sacraments.
07 sharing the word
The document summarizes key points about the Bible:
- The Bible testifies about Jesus and God has revealed Himself through it. It is a book that should be "eaten" or internalized, not just read.
- The Bible has many beneficial qualities like being a light, fire, hammer, seed, and bread that nourish the soul. Studying it transforms lives.
- The Bible has power as the word of God and contains promises that will be fulfilled for those who have faith. It should be shared to help others.
- God gives wisdom and the ability to communicate the good news to others to those who study the Bible daily. It prepares people for works of mercy and heaven.

01 uniqueness of the bible
The document provides an overview of the Bible, summarizing its key attributes in 6 points:
1) It was written over 1500 years by 40 authors yet maintains a unified message about Jesus Christ.
2) It has more manuscripts than any other ancient text and was the first book to be widely translated and printed.
3) It contains prophecies about Jesus that were fulfilled with perfect accuracy, proving it is divinely inspired.
4) As the Word of God, it has the power to transform lives when received and obeyed.
5) It is a historically accurate book that describes real people and events, including Jesus' resurrection.
6) It has had a powerful influence in
03 jesus and the apostles
Jesus and the apostles viewed the Bible as the highest authority and guide for faith and life. While the New Testament had not yet been written, they viewed the Old Testament scriptures as the Word of God. Jesus regularly quoted from the Old Testament when teaching and countering Satan's temptations. He saw the people and events described as actual history. The apostles and authors of the New Testament also viewed the entire Bible as inspired and accepted the words of the prophets. Both Jesus and the apostles provide the example that we should view all of the Bible as the foundation of faith.
Basics 6
The document discusses how God speaks to His people through the Trinity - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. It states that God the Father spoke directly to people and through prophets. God the Son, Jesus Christ, spoke to crowds, disciples, in the temple, and through love. God the Holy Spirit now speaks to believers by empowering them, convicting them of sin, leading and guiding them, teaching them truth, and sealing them as redeemed. The Holy Spirit is a real, divine, spiritual being who is part of the Godhead along with God the Father and God the Son.
Sabbath school lesson 8, 1st quarter of 2017
The document discusses spiritual gifts as outlined in 1 Corinthians 12:4-6. It defines spiritual gifts as skills supernaturally given by the Holy Spirit to serve in a special way, differing from the fruit of the Spirit. While all believers bear the fruit, not all have the same gifts. The Holy Spirit decides and distributes gifts according to His will. Gifts are given to equip saints for ministry, build the church, and glorify God. The original gifts are listed from Scripture. Though some gifts will cease, the church still needs gifts today to prepare for Christ's return. Discernment of spirits is also discussed to distinguish true gifts from false ones.

As we study the Book of Acts in our Sunday services, you can deepen your knowledge and understanding of the Holy Spirit by taking this class, The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit taught by Pastor Cary Sharpe.
Why study scripture?
This document discusses why studying the scripture is important. It argues that scripture is the source of truth, happiness, victory over sin, Satan and temptations, growth, power, guidance, and renewal. It provides several bible verses to support each point. It also discusses how to study scripture, emphasizing humility, handling the word of truth, and using hermeneutics, which is the art of interpreting scripture correctly through observation, interpretation and application.
Top Ten Questions Catholics Are Asked
The document summarizes the top ten questions Catholics are often asked and provides responses to each question. It discusses questions about salvation, worshiping wafers in the Eucharist, venerating Mary, confessing sins to priests, praying to images and for the dead, calling priests "father", obeying the Pope, and whether Catholic beliefs are found in the Bible. The document aims to explain Catholic theology and address common misconceptions in a charitable manner.
02 origin and nature of the bible
The document discusses how the Bible was written and how it should be interpreted. It states that the Bible writers claimed to write what the Spirit said, not their own ideas. It was inspired by God but written through human authors in different time periods and styles. To properly interpret it, readers must pray for the Holy Spirit's inspiration and remember it is the Word of God, requiring faith to understand.
03 holy spirit
The Holy Spirit is the least understood person of the Godhead. While the Bible provides ample information about the work of the Spirit, it says little about His nature. The Holy Spirit focuses our attention on Christ and plays a subordinate role to the Father and Son. As Jesus' representative, the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, guides us to Christ, and transforms us through spiritual rebirth. We depend on the Holy Spirit constantly for teaching, reminding, and abiding with us as our helper.
Who is the Holy Spirit & What Does He Do?
The Holy Spirit is the Voice of God, the Power of God and the Presence of God we experience on earth yet He is often the most ignored, misunderstood and possibly the most grieved member of the Godhead when He is not treated as a real Person but rather as a force or power. This slide series should help us love and appreciate the Holy Spirit for Whom He really is.
05 by scripture alone
The document discusses the principle of Sola Scriptura and how the Bible should be the sole basis for doctrine and interpretation. It makes three key points:
1) Only the Bible should be used as the foundation and rule of faith, not other sources like commentaries or the writings of Ellen G. White.
2) Ellen White's own writings affirm that her work should be interpreted according to the Bible and not be used as the basis for doctrine.
3) While some passages require careful study, the Bible is clear enough on salvation that everyone can understand it with the Holy Spirit's aid. No group should restrict interpretation of the Bible.
Are You Right With God??
This document outlines six steps to finding peace, joy, and eternal life through Jesus Christ: 1) Admit you have sinned, 2) Accept that Jesus died for your sins, 3) Repent by being sorry for sins and committing to live for God, 4) Be baptized in water in Jesus' name, 5) Receive the Holy Spirit, and 6) Attend church regularly and read the Bible daily. It encourages readers to follow these steps to enter a personal relationship with God and find inner peace despite life's difficulties.

The Inerrancy of Scripture The Great Watershed
This document discusses the doctrine of biblical inerrancy, highlighting quotes from church fathers, reformers, and scripture to support the position that the Bible is without error. It argues that the Bible is the infallible and authoritative word of God based on the nature of God as truth, Jesus and the apostles' teachings on scripture, and biblical examples where Christ and Paul base doctrine on specific words and tenses of the original Hebrew and Greek. It concludes that as God's inspired word, the Bible is inerrant, infallible, and the standard by which all other teaching must be measured.

The Holy Spirit brings people to faith in Jesus Christ and enables them to lead godly lives. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity and true God, as shown by divine names, attributes, works, honor, and glory given to the Spirit. The Spirit's special work is sanctification, making people holy by bringing them to faith so they receive redemption's blessings and live holy lives. People need the Holy Spirit because by nature they are spiritually blind, dead, and enemies of God, unable to believe in or come to Christ without the Spirit.

3. What is Foundational for Discipling Someone? Notes (Letter Sized)
This is the third of four sessions of our “Being and Making Disciples” workshop held in Săcele on September 1, 2012. In this session we answered the question “What is Foundational for Discipling Someone? by looking at what to do to help build a strong foundation in the life of those we disciple. The topics covered included looking the big picture, being vs doing, the gospel of Jesus, three main tools Jesus uses, it’s all about Jesus, our heart motivation and our new identity.
3. What is Foundational for Discipling Someone? Notes (A4)
The document provides guidance on foundational principles for discipling someone. It emphasizes establishing the "big picture" of salvation history with Jesus at the center. When discipling others, the initial focus should be on "being" rather than "doing" - helping them understand their new identity in Christ through the gospel. This establishes the proper motivation from a transformed heart before exhorting good works. Key tools for growth are engaging with the word of God, prayer, and fellowship within the church community.
Humanity Of Christ 1
1) Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. As a man, he lived a perfect human life and suffered death on the cross to save sinners.
2) The incarnation, where God took on human flesh, was necessary for Christ to redeem humanity and defeat sin and Satan. It also establishes the trustworthiness of the Bible.
3) In becoming fully human, Christ revealed God to mankind through his powerful works, wise teaching, and self-sacrificial love displayed on the cross. He also manifested ideal humanity as God originally intended.

Uniqueness of the Catholic Church (8 Nov 2015) (Edwin Lim)
The Catholic Church is unique in its unity, holiness, and universality. It was founded by Christ and is guided by the Holy Spirit. Over its 2000 year history, the Church has survived persecution and grown to over 1 billion members worldwide. It is both divine and human, visible in its community but also spiritual in the salvation it offers. The Church's authority comes from Christ and it faithfully hands down the deposit of faith through Scripture and Tradition.

02 an inheritance incorruptible
Peter wrote this letter to encourage believers scattered across various regions who faced persecution. He reminds them that God chose and called them according to his foreknowledge. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit each play a role in their redemption. Peter outlines the letter's themes - their inheritance in heaven, suffering testing their faith, and privilege of the gospel prophesied. He exhorts holy conduct and sincere brotherly love, motivated by God's redemptive work through Christ's blood and the living word. Ellen White comments that Peter encouraged studying Scripture for comfort, strength and remaining faithful amid pagan surroundings.
Theology of Missions - Dawn Freeman
This document is a theology of missions paper submitted for a class at Liberty University Baptist Theological Seminary. It discusses several key aspects of mission theology, including the missional nature of God, examples of mission work in scripture, the relationship between mission work, ecclesiology and the Trinity, key themes like the Kingdom of God and shalom, and the roles of missionaries, church leaders and lay people in mission work. The conclusion emphasizes that worship of God leads to mission work, as the love believers receive from God spills over into love for others.

09-04-16, 1 Peter 1;1-9, A Living Hope
This document provides an overview of the sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on September 4, 2016. The sermon focused on 1 Peter 1:1-9 and discussed the "living hope" that Christians have through their faith in Jesus Christ. Some of the key points made in the sermon include: (1) Christians will face trials but their faith is strengthened through enduring them, (2) believers should focus on the eternal inheritance in heaven that Jesus has prepared rather than their current circumstances, and (3) having a "living hope" means having confidence in Jesus who conquered death and rose from the dead. The sermon emphasized that the Christian's hope provides joy even in troubles and is made certain by

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

2012.0115am why know the bible
- 2. Why Know the Bible?
- 10. Give me the Bible, star of gladness gleaming, To cheer the wand’rer lone and tempest tossed; No storm can hide that radiance peaceful beaming, Since Jesus came to seek and save the lost. Give me the Bible, when my heart is broken, When sin and grief have filled my soul with fear; Give me the precious words by Jesus spoken, Hold up faith’s lamp to show my Savior near. Give me the Bible, all my steps enlighten, Teach me the danger of these realms below; That lamp of safety o’er the gloom shall brighten, That light alone the path of peace can show. Give me the Bible, lamp of life immortal, Hold up that splendor by the open grave; Show me the light from Heaven’s shining portal, Show me the glory gilding Jordan’s wave. [Refrain] Give me the Bible, holy message shining; Thy light shall guide me in the narrow way; Precept and promise, law and love combining, Till night shall vanish in eternal day.
