What Do You Lack?
Sermon at the Haynes Street church of Christ on April 13, 2014. Topic: "What Do You Lack?" Preacher: Steven Matthews
Raising Gods Children
The document provides guidance for parents on how to raise their children in a godly way. It emphasizes that parents have a responsibility before God to nurture children according to biblical principles. It offers several recommendations: teach children to obey through discipline rooted in love; protect them from harmful influences; instruct them daily in God's word through devotions and conversations; establish them in a spiritual church community; and guide them to remain separate from the world as strangers focused on their heavenly citizenship. Ultimately, parents should raise children with Christian love and concern, pouring their lives into deepening their children's faith in God.
Live like you are dying
Live each day as if it is your last by being ready for Jesus' return and the final judgment. No one knows when Jesus will return, so proper preparation through spiritual living each day is important. If we lived each day as our last, we would focus more on our relationship with God through prayer, study, and worship and care more about encouraging others and leading them to Christ. Jesus wants to save our souls from hell, so we must come to Him through hearing and obeying the gospel.

The blessing’ series 1
The document discusses the concept of "THE BLESSING" from the Bible. It refers to passages from Genesis about God blessing Abram and his descendants. The blessing is described as a supernatural force that empowers people to fulfill their potential and destiny. The blessing makes the difference by guaranteeing rightness, committing God's manifest presence, positioning people for economic exploitation, and providing exemptions from destiny harassment. The objective is to redefine "THE BLESSING" and empower people to walk in its reality.
Glimpses of the Messiah
God provided many glimpses of who the Messiah would be to His people. Four important ones include prophet, king, priest and lamb. Not only do each of these teach us something of the Messiah’s role, but they also remind us of our proper response to Him.

The owner wants to cut it down but the gardener asks for one more year to care for it in hopes it will bear fruit.

The infallible word of god
This document compares Bible verses from the King James Version (KJV) to other versions like the New International Version (NIV) to highlight differences in wording and missing verses. It suggests that some Bible translations may have corrupted or changed the original meaning and questions whether some words have strayed from their inspired meaning. The document uses multiple examples to argue that certain verses have been altered or omitted in some modern translations.
Faithful Leader Heb3
1) Jesus is the perfect leader who guides Christians to eternal salvation in heaven, as he is superior to Moses.
2) Christians must constantly focus on Jesus through studying his word, prayer, worship, and faithful service to avoid spiritual danger and departure from God like Israel experienced.
3) Believers are warned to strengthen their faith daily through encouraging each other, loving God, and avoiding unbelief which can lead to disobedience and being barred from heaven.

Dear sisters and brothers,
If we have faith, God can transform us and also our Churches and communities.
Fr. Cielo
Going not knowing
The document discusses what it means to walk by faith based on examples from the Bible. It defines faith as being confident in things hoped for and unseen. Faith comes from hearing the word of God. Abraham is used as an example of having faith through his obedience to God's commands, without knowing where he was going. To walk by faith today means following God without seeing first, trusting Him completely like Abraham. Other examples mentioned are waiting for heaven like Sarah did and Moses choosing to suffer with God's people rather than enjoy sin, looking toward unseen heavenly rewards. The document encourages the reader to begin walking by faith through hearing, believing, repenting, confessing, and being baptized as Jesus saves.
Jesus - The Only One Greater Than Chuck Norris (Hebrews 1:14)
Jesus is greater than Chuck Norris because:
1. God has spoken to us through Jesus.
2. Jesus is the complete expression of God.
3. Jesus created and sustains the entire world.
4. Only through Jesus can we be forgiven of our sins.
5. Jesus promises that we will share in his divine nature.
Why Do We Need God?
The document discusses why Christians need God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, baptism, communion, and the church according to the Bible. It provides reasons for each, citing passages to support why they are necessary for salvation and eternal life. The key points are that we need God as our creator, redeemer, and provider; we need Jesus Christ as our mediator and mentor to guide us; we need the Holy Spirit as promised by God and to do His work regenerating and sanctifying believers; and we need the gospel (Bible) to be saved by God's power and to remain saved by holding to its teachings.
Things a Christian Should Do Each Day
This document provides a series of questions about actions Christians should take each day, along with supporting Bible verses for each. It asks if Christians should be prayerful, cheerful, thankful, work hard, help others, walk by faith, put God first, read God's word, teach others, show love, and be an example. The overall message is that Christians have many responsibilities each day to fulfill through their words and actions according to the Bible.

The Fourfold Gospel_Life of Jesus.pdf
This document provides summaries of two genealogies of Jesus from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
Matthew's genealogy traces Jesus's lineage back to Abraham in three sections - from Abraham to David, from David to the exile of the Jews to Babylon, and from the exile to Jesus. It lists 42 names in Jesus's lineage.

Because He lives
This document discusses how Jesus's sacrifice allows believers to have full assurance in God. It notes that animal sacrifices under the old law could not truly take away sins, but Jesus's single sacrifice was sufficient. Through faith in Christ, believers no longer have their sins held against them but can boldly approach God. The document encourages Christians to prepare for Jesus's return by assembling together, stirring up love and good works, and obeying the gospel through faith, repentance, confession, baptism and faithfulness.

It notes Jesus pre-existed, was prophesied about, and was proven to have come as the leader and savior. The document concludes that Jesus can be found through studying scripture and coming to him, and that his message should be taught to all so they can be saved.
Living Upright In An Upside Down World
Lesson by Mike Smith Investigate the turmoil this world is facing and how we can live upright despite the confusion that is all around us. Live for Jesus my friends!
The truth is like a big mac!
The document compares the truth of God to a Big Mac hamburger in three ways:
1) You can only find the truth in the church, just as you can only find a Big Mac at McDonald's.
2) The truth has the right ingredients (no compromises) according to the Bible, just as a Big Mac has the standard ingredients.
3) Some people do not like the truth any more than some do not like Big Macs, but finding and accepting the truth, like eating a Big Mac, satisfies and provides sustenance for life.
THIS WORLD HAS NOTHING FOR ME
This document discusses the major decision of faith and lessons from Moses' example of faith. It summarizes that Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, chose to suffer affliction with God's people over Egypt's pleasures, and looked to the heavenly reward. By faith, Moses stood for justice, thought God would use him to deliver Israel, forsook Egypt without fearing the king's wrath, and endured invisible to his heavenly Father. The document encourages walking by faith like Moses, knowing this world offers nothing but Jesus does.
New Testament Commands 9
This document lists 177 New Testament commands from the books of Luke and John. Some of the commands include instructions to pray regularly, ask God for daily provision and forgiveness, give to those in need, beware of hypocrisy and covetousness, and remember God's commands to love others. Believers are told not to fear man but to fear God, and to be ready for Christ's return at any time.
You Have To Give Up To Go Up

How To Have A Great Gospel Meeting
This document discusses the importance of gospel meetings for teaching communities about Christianity. It provides several Bible verses to support continued teaching and fellowship as seen in the early church. The document encourages preparing for an upcoming gospel meeting by inviting people, creating materials to advertise, and being ready to participate and teach others. The goal is to provide opportunities for people to learn about Christianity and come to God, while glorifying Him in the process.
Spirituality 101
This document discusses the concept of spirituality as exemplified in the Christian life. It defines spirituality as a state where the soul is vitalized by the Holy Spirit and committed to religious values. True spirituality involves continual renewal and growth in knowledge of God through Bible study and prayer. Characteristics of a spiritual person include being directed by the Spirit, imitating Christ, having a thankful attitude, and caring for others. The conclusion encourages readers to commit to becoming more spiritual by offering spiritual sacrifices to God.
David's Many Giants
- The document discusses various lessons that can be learned from the life of King David, including his victory over Goliath as a young shepherd, sparing Saul's life when he had the chance to take revenge, listening to Abigail's wisdom to not kill Nabal in anger, and admitting his sin of adultery with Bathsheba after Nathan confronted him.
- It encourages learning from both David's triumphs and mistakes, recognizing and destroying the "giants" of fear, anger, lust, and revenge in our own lives, and being ready to face threats by putting on God's armor and using his word.

Quick to listen,Slow to speak, Slow to anger
God is good to all people and wants believers to interact properly with others. The document outlines three things we should do in our interactions: 1) be quick to listen and get all the facts before making decisions, 2) be slow to speak and think carefully before speaking to avoid harm, and 3) be slow to wrath since anger does not produce righteousness. Following these will help believers develop strong relationships through proper communication and behavior that honors God.

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
