9th may 2016 - An Ambassador for Christ
1) As ambassadors for Christ, Christians represent Christ to the world and are called to provide opportunities for people to become all that God intends them to be through churches, ministries, and service to the community.
2) To be an ambassador of Christ, one must put God's plan into action by being a good example through involvement in their church and community as well as sharing their faith and knowledge of the gospel with others.
3) To truly be an ambassador, one must have faith in Jesus Christ as their savior, be reconciled with God through faith in Christ's death and resurrection, and seek to enter God's kingdom by taking the message of Christ to the ends of the earth.

The document discusses how the understanding of Christian mission has changed over time. Originally, mission involved Europeans and Americans evangelizing and financially supporting the salvation of pagan souls abroad. However, after Vatican II, mission was redefined as developing reciprocal relationships to proclaim, serve, and witness God's reign of love, justice, and salvation to all people everywhere, as God is present in all cultures and religions. The document uses the image of sharing food at a table to represent mission as nourishing people physically and spiritually in community through God's word in the Eucharist and caring for the whole person and communities.

Who Do You Say That I Am?
St. Vincent de Paul's understanding of Christ, influenced by the French School of Spirituality, and its implications for Vincentians today
The church during the 1st three centuries
The early Christian communities centered around the apostles in Jerusalem and strengthened their union with God through celebrating the Eucharist. They shared their possessions communally and met daily in the temple and homes. However, they faced controversies over Jewish laws and were later persecuted by Roman emperors, though the persecutions only served to spread Christianity further. During this time, Christians developed a strong spiritual link and awareness of continuing Christ's mission through reflecting his image as the body of Christ in their solidarity with one another.

Re-Visit The Meaning Of Biblical Stewardship
This document discusses the biblical concept of stewardship. It makes three main points:
1) God owns everything and has given us responsibilities to care for His resources and use them for His purposes. We are called to be stewards managing what God has provided.
2) Stewardship involves willingly giving back to God from what He has given us as an act of worship and in response to His love. It is about using our lives, talents, time, and possessions to honor and serve God.
3) However, many Christians do not fully live out stewardship in practical ways. The document calls for embracing stewardship more fully in everyday Christian living.

The passage from Ephesians 1:3-14 describes the many spiritual blessings that Christians receive through faith in Christ. It discusses how God chose believers before creation to be holy, predestined them for adoption as sons, provided redemption and forgiveness of sins through Christ's blood, and sealed believers with the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of their inheritance. The overall message is that God lavishes his grace upon Christians, blessing them with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
Courage | 2 August 2015 | Leonard Stone

The document advocates not worrying but instead praying and thanking God for what has been done.

This document discusses the importance of father-son relationships in ministry according to biblical examples. It argues that moving away from this order is a departure from God. Key points:
- God's order is based on father-son relationships, as seen from Abraham to Moses. Breaking this order leads to disorder.
- Many modern churches lack true spiritual fathers, so they associate with larger ministries instead of having their own identity.
- Spiritual inheritance and blessings are only received through connection with the spiritual father, as the son of God.
- Examples like Elijah and Elisha demonstrate how the anointing flows from father to son. A father imparts value and desires the son to exceed
Love revolution sermon 3 (English)

Believers are instructed to put off their old sinful nature and put on the new self through renewing their mind. They are to speak only what is helpful for building others up. Overall, the document provides guidance for believers on how to live according to their spiritual identity and calling through spiritual warfare and maturity.

The Church in the Life of the Faithful: The Universal Call to Holiness
The document discusses the universal call to holiness in the Catholic Church. It states that all lay people share in the common priesthood of Christ and are called to sanctify their lives and become holy. While individuals cannot achieve holiness on their own, the Church provides graces through the sacraments and its guidance to help lay people grow spiritually. The document also outlines how lay people can participate in their common priesthood through sacrifice and offering their lives to God, and explains that their secular vocation in the world is how they transform society according to God's will.

This document summarizes Jonathan F. Sullivan's presentation on Christian community. It discusses how the Holy Trinity exemplifies community as three persons in one God, united in perfect love. It provides quotes on how all people form one community and how the Christian community supports catechumens. It also addresses the domestic church, with families modeling Christ's union with the Church and educating children. The document then discusses parishes as places where disciples come together to worship, grow, and serve others. It concludes by addressing affirmative orthodoxy and presenting the Christian faith in a positive light.
Warrenton Gospel Partnership
The Warrenton Gospel Partnership was formed in 2014 by two pastors and two churches with the goal of partnering together to spread the gospel in their community. They established foundational documents including a statement of faith, philosophy of ministry, mission/vision, and operating procedures. The partnership holds quarterly meetings and organizes community events like a live nativity, summer storytelling in the park, and an Easter worship service. Their goal is to visibly demonstrate the unity of the body of Christ and make new disciples through shared ministry efforts between churches.
Veritas and Epic (JHFM version)
The document discusses the lifecycles of churches and identifies four common types:
1) The Healthy Missional Church which consistently pursues God and makes disciples;
2) The Stable Church which occasionally pursues God and makes disciples;
3) The Critical Moment Church which inconsistently pursues God and makes disciples;
4) The At-Risk Church which rarely or never pursues God and makes disciples.
My Vision for Cornerstone - Acts 2:42-47
The document describes the vision for a church called Cornerstone. It details how the early believers devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, prayer, and sharing possessions. They met daily, broke bread together, and praised God. As a result, the Lord added to their numbers daily. The vision is for Cornerstone church to plant other congregations, reach out to the local community, double in size within two years, and establish creative worship and ministry programs for youth, children, older adults, and those with special needs.
07 when conflicts arise
The document summarizes how the early church addressed three types of internal conflicts: personal differences, cultural differences, and doctrinal differences. Each conflict is described in the passage. The early church was able to resolve conflicts in a way that strengthened unity and allowed the gospel to spread. They did this by hearing all sides, finding solutions through study of scripture and guidance of the holy spirit, and clearly communicating decisions. The document encourages learning from their example to address conflicts in the church today.
Soar into Missional Ministry
This document contains excerpts from sermons or teachings on developing a missional church and congregation. It discusses developing a vital church centered in worship and fellowship. It also discusses developing a missional people by emphasizing seeing others through Jesus' eyes and regularly sending people out during worship. Finally, it discusses missional ministries and emphases like seizing the community's attention, speaking about faith through relationships and invitation, and sharing one's personal faith story and the story of Jesus with others.

Stewardship is about what we do with what we have once we say we believe. It is that part of our lives where we decide if we're really going to Walk the Walk as much as we Talk the Talk!
Sabbath school lesson 7, 4th quarter 2018
The document summarizes lessons from Acts about how the early church addressed internal conflicts. It describes personal, cultural, and doctrinal differences that arose and the solutions found. For personal differences regarding food distribution, the church appointed seven men to oversee the work. For cultural differences about accepting Gentiles, Peter submitted to God's vision and the Holy Spirit's work. For doctrinal disputes over circumcision, church leaders studied scripture and found salvation is through faith, not works. The early church acknowledged issues, heard all sides, consulted scripture, and sought God's leading to make decisions communicated to all.
Missionary
A missionary brings the Good News to all people through words and deeds. The best way to preach and teach others about Christ is to live a consistent, loving life that embodies Christian values. One's actions should reflect their faith and commitment to God. As a missionary, one can witness to Christ through daily living, acts of service, social justice, prayer, dialogue and reconciliation. The ultimate goal is for all people to come to know Christ.
Being the church
The document outlines what it means to truly be the church based on biblical principles. It discusses that the church should not be seen merely as a business or building, but as the body of Christ united to serve God and others. It emphasizes that the church should bring people together in love rather than divide them, and that each believer has a role to play in strengthening the community through their spiritual gifts. The overall message is that the church succeeds when individual Christians come together to support one another, serve the world, and glorify God through their unity and actions.
05 unity early church
The early church experienced great unity through several factors: praying together, worshipping together through communion and preaching, studying the Bible together, showing love and care for one another, and generously supporting each other both locally and between churches. Their unity resulted from spending dedicated time together deepening their relationship with Jesus and each other through these spiritual disciplines. The Holy Spirit worked powerfully in their midst to bring them together.
Final Project Submitted
This document discusses the history and vision of the cell church model. It begins by describing Pastor David Yongii Cho's experience of burnout in 1964 which led him to rediscover the church model seen in Acts, with an emphasis on small group communities meeting in homes in addition to larger corporate worship. This small group model was implemented in Cho's church in Korea and resulted in explosive growth to over 250,000 members, becoming the largest Protestant church. The cell church vision sees these small groups as integral communities that together form the body of Christ, with Christ's presence among them. While the model achieved great success internationally, it met with challenges when imported to the US due to cultural and structural differences.
Looking into the Christian Vocation
The document outlines topics that will be covered in an exam, including law and justice, economic goods, supply and demand, and vocations. It discusses the universal call to holiness and defines work, career, and vocation. It describes the three main vocational paths in the Catholic Church: the lay state, religious state, and clerical state. It emphasizes the importance of discernment and considering one's motivation when discerning one's vocation.
PRAYER
The document is a letter from an Indian pastor requesting partnership and support from American churches for his small, struggling ministry in rural India. He describes facing persecution from Hindu nationalists and difficulties conducting outreach due to lack of funds. He asks the American churches to pray for his ministry, consider him a coworker, and send financial support, clothing for orphans, and correspondence to encourage his work.
The Purpose of The Church #2 Fellowship
The document discusses the purpose of fellowship in the church. It defines biblical fellowship as a communion and participation between believers based on their common belief in and relationship with Jesus Christ. True fellowship involves sharing life together, prioritizing other believers' needs, sharing possessions communally, and encouraging one another's spiritual growth. The benefits of fellowship include meeting basic human needs for community, receiving emotional support and encouragement, and participating together in the gospel through the Holy Spirit. The document urges readers to evaluate whether their local church exhibits biblical fellowship and challenges them to actively work on building fellowship within the congregation.
In it together conf. AM 2010
The document discusses the mission and ministry of the Covenant denomination. It highlights that the Covenant has churches in 44 US states and 5 Canadian provinces, and its mission is to make more disciples and work for a more just world. It provides updates on various Covenant programs, resources, and ministries, including church planting, youth events, mission work, and supporting pastors.
2010 Vestry Bio Book
Cindy Darnell shares that she came to faith 14 years ago after experiencing a fullness in her chest while visiting a church. Over the next 4 years, as God showed patience, she explored Christianity and became convinced that Jesus is Lord, being baptized in 2002. She has grown in her faith through small groups, mission teams, Bible study, and fellowship. She hopes to serve Restoration by thinking strategically and empowering others. Her prayer is for Restoration to be a place of authentic relationships where people can find restoration and be challenged to better reflect God's image.

Love is-a-weapon
The document discusses how love is the most important commandment and the way to overcome evil. It quotes several Bible passages about loving God, neighbors, and enemies. The key message is that we must love everyone as God loves them, without judgment, and destroy labels by getting to know others. Loving others, even when it's difficult, is the best way to show we are Christ's disciples.
Planting The Essence
The document discusses planting "micro churches" or small faith communities among overlooked groups of friends to spread the essence of the body of Christ. It encourages Christians to consider starting informal gatherings based on five rhythms: blessing others, openly sharing faith, worship, learning God's truth, and being there for each other. The example is given of a man named Ben who hosts a gathering of young families in his home on weekends that involves life sharing, Bible study, prayer, worship and ministry projects.
In your neighborhood
A message I shared at encounter (www.encounterthis.com) in February 2009. What would it look like if God moved into your neighborhood?
Anger and Followers of The Way
The document discusses anger and how to manage it. It notes that the author gets angry quickly so they must embrace patience, forgiveness, and self-control. It asks questions about what makes people angry, why they get angry, and how to respond to anger. The document references several Bible passages about anger, including ones about Moses and Jesus expressing anger. It suggests not letting the sun go down while still angry and not giving the devil a foothold. It asks how these instructions can be applied and discusses tending to get angry when not getting one's way or conditions not being met, and removing conditions and expectations from relationships.
