2) Christians should only marry other Christians, as marrying unbelievers or heretics would yoke them unequally.

4) God wants the church and state to make efforts to heal marriages rather

Results include power for witnessing, victorious living, and bringing glory to God. The filling is not a one-time experience but must be sought daily.

To God All the Glory!
The document discusses Paul's message to the Corinthians that as Christians, they are laborers for God and his kingdom. It emphasizes that the work of spreading the gospel is most effective when done together, as all Christians have a role to play. It warns that defiling the temple of God, which refers to the church, will not be tolerated by God. It provides examples of how false doctrine and practices can corrupt the church. Throughout, it encourages Christians to remain firmly grounded in scripture and committed to God's word alone.
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
WCF Chapter 17 - Perseverance of the Saintssandiferb
This document summarizes the theology of the Westminster Confession regarding the perseverance of the saints. It discusses that those whom God has accepted, called, and sanctified will certainly persevere to the end and be saved. Their perseverance depends not on their free will but on God's unchanging love and election, the work of Christ, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Christians may fall into sin but will not fall away completely, as God will discipline them and restore them for preservation.
This document provides an outline and summary of a sermon given on 1 Peter 3:13-22. Some key points include:
- Christians may face persecution and should respond gently and respectfully as Christ did.
- Believers should always be prepared to give a defense for their faith with gentleness and respect.
- Interpretations of 1 Peter 3:19-20 discussing where Christ proclaimed his victory include Hades, to Noah through the Spirit, or to fallen angels.
- Baptism corresponds to the resurrection as believers are raised with Christ to new life.
- Suffering for righteousness follows Christ's example and believers have hope of eternity in Heaven.
This document discusses reasons why Christians should share their faith. It covers five main points: 1) Jesus commands believers to go and make disciples, 2) it is our role as believers to be prepared to share the reason for our hope, 3) evangelism should be a part of our whole lifestyle, not separated from other aspects of life, 4) we should not be ashamed of the gospel as it is the powerful message of God's saving work, and 5) in sharing our faith we proclaim who God is - loving, holy, and faithful. The session aims to encourage believers in their calling to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to others.
The document is a list of biblical verses describing who the speaker is in relation to God. In 3 sentences:
The list begins by saying the speaker is a son of God and loved by God, who sent his Son to atone for the speaker's sins. It continues citing dozens of verses describing that the speaker is chosen, redeemed, healed, and righteous through God and Christ. The list culminates in saying that above all else, the speaker is God's.
This document examines how Christians should live their lives and be examples to others. It encourages self-examination and helping one another grow stronger in faith. Christians are called to be like salt and light in influencing others positively and reflecting Christ. The document provides numerous biblical references to support living a holy life devoted to serving God, prioritizing one's faith, proclaiming the gospel boldly, and remaining faithful until the end.
This document discusses two important biblical doctrines - the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. It provides biblical support for these doctrines being taught in both the Old and New Testaments. Key points include that the resurrection will occur when Jesus returns, for both believers to eternal life and unbelievers to judgment. It also notes that eternal judgment will be carried out by Jesus based on whether one obeyed God's laws, and the sentences will last forever. The document encourages preparing for these future events through obeying God.
1) The document is a Sunday school lesson about rewards Christians can receive for their works and faithfulness. It discusses five crowns that may be earned: the incorruptible crown, crown of rejoicing, crown of life, crown of righteousness, and crown of glory.
2) It emphasizes that God rewards believers for enduring trials, remaining faithful, using their gifts to serve others, and living godly lives. Good works done in faithfulness to God will be rewarded while works done out of selfish motives will have no reward.
3) At the judgment seat of Christ, believers' works will be evaluated and they will receive praise or loss of reward depending on the eternal value and quality of their works determined
This document contains prayers and affirmations about who believers are in Christ. It discusses that believers are called and redeemed through Christ, and that through Christ they reign in life, have eternal life, and are joint heirs with Christ. The document also states that believers are sanctified, have victory and triumph, are new creatures with the righteousness of God in Christ. Additionally, it says that believers have liberty, are crucified and have put on Christ, and are heirs of God through Christ, having received spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ and being chosen in Christ before the world's foundation.
The document discusses how to always be right by being right in God's eyes through faith in Jesus Christ. It explains that we are made righteous and justified as a gift of God through grace by having faith in Christ. Having faith includes obeying the gospel through acts like baptism. This justification leads to sanctification where we are empowered to resist sin and live holy lives, though we still rely on God's forgiveness when we fail. To truly be right requires alignment in areas of belief, conduct, intentions, and doctrine.
This document provides an outline and summary of a sermon given on 1 Peter 3:13-22. Some key points include:

This document discusses how God is with Christians in various ways. It explores how Jesus Christ lives in believers through faith, how the Holy Spirit dwells within those who believe and obey the gospel, and how God the Father is in all believers and part of their unity. The document also examines how God's truth, grace, and promises are with Christians. It emphasizes that God will never leave believers as long as they remain faithful to Him through obedience.
This document discusses the hope that is found through faith in God and Jesus Christ. It explores the hopes of faithfulness, grace, peace, spiritual blessings, inheritance, and Jesus himself. All people can share in these hopes by coming to Jesus through hearing the gospel, believing, repenting of sins, confessing faith, and being baptized into Christ. Having this hope leads to the crown of life and blessings from God.
This document discusses the evangelical Christian worldview with a focus on redemption, church, and calling. It examines the basic doctrines of redemption including justification, propitiation, reconciliation, and regeneration. It defines the church as both the universal body of believers and the local congregation. The church's purpose is to spread the gospel message and various activities are discussed like worship, preaching, and sacraments. Finally, it addresses the Christian's calling to live for God's glory and serve others using their spiritual gifts within their vocations.
In "Looking at the Big Picture" we look at what life is all about according to the Bible by looking at Jesus, the gospel, the church and the mission of the church. This teaching is the introduction to the gospel series "Growing Deep in the Gospel".
The document discusses three secrets to living a faithful life in preparation for Jesus' return: 1) Fight the good fight of faith through spiritual battles and enduring hardships. 2) Finish the race of life which involves spiritual exercise, endurance, self-denial, and self-discipline. 3) Keep the faith by remaining true to the gospel and not rejecting it like others. If we fulfill these secrets, we will receive a crown and not have to fear death because Christ conquered it through the gospel. The key is to be prepared for Jesus' return by obeying his plan of salvation through hearing, believing, repenting of sins, confessing faith, and baptism.
The document is a series of lessons from a church study on the book of Ephesians. Lesson 1 discusses the benefits of being in Christ, including every spiritual blessing. Lesson 2 explores what it means to be in Christ, such as being fellow citizens with God's people. Lesson 3 examines the mystery of Christ, which is that Gentiles are fellow heirs through faith in Jesus.

For Teenagers: Shaped or shattered - a study of JeremiahChris Yeo
The document summarizes key messages from the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. It begins by outlining their historical context in Israel and then focuses on Jeremiah, providing more details about his life and prophecies. The main points are: (1) Jeremiah prophesied in Judah around 626 BC and warned of coming judgment for hardened hearts; (2) God knows us and will provide what we need, so we should not doubt ourselves; and (3) We should remain soft before God like clay in the hands of a potter, yielding to be shaped as he desires.

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
