Tomorrow we are starting a new series of study:
“The New Man” is a seminar that will focus on the spirit of man, its soul and its body.
We will learn the properties of each one of these three parts of man.
Our spirit is called to be the ruling part of us, actually, our spirit is the main part of our being, and is the place where the spirit of God dwells in.
We meet in Room #3 at CTF Toronto Wednesdays from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. I invite you to come and participate with us in this discovery of how to let our spirit become the ruler of our life.
We know the dictionary definition of worship (a feeling, or devotion to a deity), and we have read John 4:24, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth"; but, what does the Bible teach us about the subject of worship? This is a series of lessons that gets to the heart of worship and what it really means for Christians.
It is common to refer to the process of maturing as a disciple as spiritual formation. Here, based upon work by Greg Ogden, I give a four stage process for growing into maturity, and fruitfulness, as a follower of King Jesus.
This presentation is designed to compliment a Spiritual Gifts Assessment video (available on YouTube) and a Guide to Spiritual Gifts (available on the web). Links are provided on the final slide of the deck. There is also a brief presentation on the difference between natural talents and spiritual gifts at the end. This presentation was designed to facilitate conversations about spiritual gifts in a small group setting. Visit my blog for additional relevant information, as well as step-by-step instructions how to use this material in your group.
There are various ways that God look at our services before given approval of acceptability. Beloved, is your service acceptable to God? The Word of God says in Hebrews 12:28 that, “since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and SERVE God ACCEPTABLY with reverence and awe (in a way that is pleasing to God).”
Are you serving God in a holy way? Are you sure your service is acceptable unto God? Have you asked God if the service that you are rendering is acceptable? Did you know that the whole purpose of our existence is to serve and worship God acceptably? Are you aware that, God wanted the people of Israel to be released by Pharaoh so that they can serve Him? Exodus 8:1 says that: “And the Lord spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, let my people go, that they may SERVE me.” Service is very important to God and even earthly kings as we could see in Babylon when Nebuchadnezzar was looking for wise men to serve him.
Will you permit Holy Spirit to probe your inner self and answer these questions: “Where are you serving?” Why are you serving? How are you labouring? Whom are you serving?
Are you serving with the Father or without the Father?
Are you serving at your given place of assignment or at a place of your own choosing?
Are you seeking independence from your earthly delegated leader?
What is the condition of your heart as you’re serving?
Are you indeed committed to the pursuit of God or .…. own agenda?
Have you considered the opportunity of being close to the one the Father has placed you under for service? What of the opportunity cost of being estranged from the Father?
Making disciples who make disciples is at the heart of the call to follow Christ. Here are some notes on the gap between our intentions and practice (adapted from Greg Ogden's book, Transforming Discipleship).
In this lesson we show God's will for all mankind and the importance of doing His will. We examine the sermon on the mount. Both slides and audio can be found together at www.cmcoc.org
Sermon by: Brian Birdow
Tit 2:11-14 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

Presentation 3 of my 3-part Spiritual Gifts Study based on 1Peter 4:10. In this powerful conclusion, the question of the "Gifts" themselves proves irrelevant without a keen focus on community.
Presentation 2 of a 3-part series on "Spiritual Gifts," based on the original text of the Bible Passage of 1 Peter 4:10. This presentation considers the administration of the "manifold grace of God" to be much like a prism which turns invisible sunlight into an array of visible colors.

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.
