The document provides announcements and discussion questions for a Sunday school class. It includes announcements about mission trips, a women's ministry retreat, and substitutes. Discussion questions prompt reflection on influential religious figures, what Christ has represented, and who Jesus is to the world. A passage from Gandhi is included where he acknowledges Jesus as an embodiment of sacrifice but not the most perfect man. The document also includes biblical passages on Christ's identity from Colossians and Luke.
The document discusses the rapture and different views on its timing according to eschatology. It provides background on the rapture, summarizing it as an event where Jesus descends from heaven with a shout and trumpet call to gather believers to meet Him in the air. It then outlines the strengths and weaknesses of pre-tribulationism, mid-tribulationism, and post-tribulationism views on whether the rapture occurs before, at the midpoint of, or after the tribulation period. The document concludes by emphasizing that the exact timing is a mystery known only to God and that believers should focus on being faithful in light of Christ's imminent return.
1. The document discusses the love of God, which involves believing in Jesus as the Christ, loving God and obeying his commandments, which are not burdensome.

This document discusses the characteristics of the sealed and the church's role in the end times based on several Bible passages. It states that the church will go forth conquering and to conquer, clothed in God's grace and glory. It describes the former and latter rains as preparing the crops, and says the latter rain will revive and strengthen God's people during the final conflict. It highlights passages about the loud cry of the third angel's message, God's people coming out of Babylon, and the earth being filled with God's glory in the last days.
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.
1) David served God's purpose in his generation by working humbly as a shepherd, fighting bravely against enemies of Israel like Goliath, waiting patiently for God to fulfill his promise of kingship, and leaving a godly legacy through his writings in the book of Psalms.
2) All Christians should seek to understand God's unique purpose and plan for their lives and serve Him faithfully in both their daily choices and through helping others learn about the gospel.
3) While God forgives sins, disobedience still has consequences; David's life provides an example of both God's forgiveness and the repercussions of wrongdoing.
The three angel's messages call humanity to:
1. Fear God by having deep respect for Him as the Creator and in obedience to His commandments.
2. Give glory to God for His coming judgment and salvation for those who worship Him alone.
3. Proclaim this message of warning to all nations as a witness before the end comes.

This document contains a sermon given on Mother's Day about honoring one's mother. The key points are:
1) God honors mothers and puts honoring one's mother on the same level as holiness and keeping the Sabbath. Mothers have great responsibility in raising children for God.
2) Children have a responsibility to honor their mothers both in their youth and old age according to God's commands. There are benefits to doing so such as having one's life go well and living long.
3) Jesus set the example of honoring his mother even while on the cross. The church also has a duty to honor older women as mothers.
The sermon exhorts children
The document discusses serving God and serving others. It provides several bible passages that instruct believers to fear, obey, and serve God wholeheartedly. It emphasizes not following other gods. It promises blessings for faithfully serving God, but warnings of curses for not doing so. It also discusses serving others hospitably and using gifts to serve others as servants of God. Jesus is presented as the ultimate example of serving through giving his life for others. The overall message is that serving God involves serving others for his glory.
1) The document discusses demolishing strongholds, which are fortresses or mindsets that are contrary to God's will.
2) It describes three main types of strongholds: those of this world like conformity, those of the flesh like sinful desires, and those from the devil like deception.
3) Christians are called to demolish these strongholds by focusing on God instead of the world, avoiding excessive entanglements in sin, and relying on spiritual armor like faith, salvation, and God's word to withstand the devil's schemes.
The document discusses three major ways Christians can overcome the world: prayer, faith, and developing Christ-like character. It provides biblical examples for each: prayer involves asking God for help and trusting his response; faith means believing God's promises without doubting; and character focuses on living with love, righteousness, holiness and seeking God above all else. The overall message is that through relying on God through prayer and having faith in him, and striving to become more like Christ in character, believers can overcome sinful desires and withstand worldly influences.
God created the Garden of Eden and all things within it as good. This included the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. God commanded Adam and Eve that they could eat from any tree except the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. However, Eve was deceived by the serpent to eat its fruit. Both Adam and Eve then ate the fruit, disobeying God. This first sin introduced sin and death into the world. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil represented the choice and freedom that God gave humans to obey or disobey Him.
Sermon - worship the father in spirit and truthSSMC
The document discusses worshipping God the Father in spirit and truth. It argues that true worship is not defined by place or style, but is instead universal and accessible to all. True worship comes from a personal relationship with God through Christ, worshipping with one's whole being without deceit. The right worship is to offer one's life as living sacrifice to God in obedience, not just through religious rituals.
The document summarizes key aspects of the book of Philippians from the New Testament. It discusses how Paul wrote Philippians around 62 AD while imprisoned to express love for the Philippians and encourage their spiritual growth. The main topic is developing the "mind of Christ" by cultivating a humble, focused, harmonious, joyful and peaceful mindset like Jesus through obedience, suffering, perseverance and gentleness.
Why do you think the order of having on the armor of God begins with "the belt of truth," then "the breastplate of righteousness" and then "have shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace"? What does "having your feet shod" practically mean? What is "the gospel of peace"? How can you prepare yourself with the gospel of peace? How does the "gospel of peace" enable the believer to "withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand"?
1. God had three great plans laid out before the universe existed and time began - eternal life, salvation, and grace.
2. Eternal life refers to God's offer of an unending relationship with Him and resurrection to everlasting life. Salvation involves God's plan to call people to repentance and forgive their sins through Jesus' sacrifice. Grace refers to God's undeserved favor and provision of forgiveness and help through Christ.
3. These three overlapping and interrelated aspects of God's plan were designed carefully by God before the beginning of time.
Have you ever been subpoenaed to testify in a court of law? If so, describe the circumstances, what happened and how you felt? What prevents us from being effective witnesses? Do we, like the disciples, have concerns or perspectives or priorities that restrict us or distract us from effectively fulfilling our roles as witnesses?
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.
Faith is encouraging because it:
1. Gives strength in times of trouble.
2. Provides protection in temptation.
3. Brings mercy when one is discouraged.
4. Gives eternal perspective to life.

2. KAWIKAAN 12:18-19
Ang matalas na pananalita ay
sumusugat ng damdamin, ngunit sa
magandang pananalita, sakit ng loob
ay gumagaling. Ang tapat na labi ay
mananatili kailanman, ngunit ang
dilang sinungaling ay hindi
magtatagal.
3. EFESO 4:29
Huwag kayong gumamit ng
masasamang salita kundi iyong
makapagpapalakas at angkop
sa pagkakataon upang
makapagdulot ng mabuti sa
mga nakakarinig.
4. SANTIAGO 3:9-10
Ito ang ginagamit natin sa pagpupuri
sa ating Panginoon at Ama, at ito rin
ang ginagamit natin sa panlalait sa
taong nilalang na kalarawan ng
Diyos. Sa iisang bibig nanggagaling
ang pagpupuri at panlalait. Hindi ito
dapat mangyari, mga kapatid.
5. 1 PEDRO 3:10
Ayon sa nasusulat, “Ang mga
nagnanais ng payapa at saganang
pamumuhay, dila nila'y pigilan sa
pagsasabi ng kasamaan. Ang
anumang panlilinlang at madayang
pananalita sa kanyang mga labi ay
di dapat mamutawi.
8. EFESO 5:4
Huwag din kayong gagamit ng
anumang malaswa o walang
kabuluhang pananalita at
pagbibirong di nararapat. Sa
halip, magpasalamat kayo sa
Diyos.
12. ROMA 3:13-14
“Parang bukás na libingan ang
kanilang lalamunan; pananalita
nila'y pawang panlilinlang. Ang
labi nila'y may kamandag ng ahas.”
“Punô ng pagmumura at masasakit
na salita ang kanilang bibig.”
14. 1 PEDRO 3:9
Huwag ninyong gantihan ng masama
ang gumagawa sa inyo ng masama, at
huwag din ninyong gantihan ng pang-
iinsulto ang mga nang-iinsulto sa
inyo. Ang dapat ninyong gawin ay
manalangin na kaawaan sila ng Dios,
dahil pinili kayo ng Dios na gawin ito,
at para kaawaan din niya kayo.

12:20
Nag-aalala ako na baka
pagdating ko riyan ay makita
ko kayong iba sa aking
inaasahan at makita rin ninyo
akong iba sa inyong

kayong nag-aaway-away,
nag-iinggitan, nagkakagalit,
nagmamaramot, nagsisiraan,
nagtsitsismisan,
nagpapayabangan, at
nagkakagulo.

Ito ay nagdudulot ng kasiraan sa iyong

Ang mga minamahal mong anak, asawa,
magulang, kamag-anak o kaibigan, kung
marinig ang iyong gawi ng pananalita ay
maaring masaktan at iwasan ka nila. O di kaya
nama’y gagayahin ka. Ito ay totoo lalo pa nga’t
kung ang mga kabataan na nagtatangi sa iyo
ang siyang makarinig sa iyong pagsasalita. Ang
mga bata ay gumagaya at nag-iipon ng mga
natututunan sa kanilang murang isipan. Kayat
pananagutan mo ang magturo ng mabuti sa
