This document outlines an interpretive approach for reading the Bible called "Grasping God's Word." It involves 4 steps: 1) Understanding the text in its original context, 2) Identifying differences between then and now, 3) Determining the theological principle, and 4) Applying the principle today. Key points are to carefully observe what's written, avoid rushing to application, and not impose meanings but instead grasp what God communicated. The goal is to hear from God clearly and apply his words accurately.
Has American Christianity Failed?
George Barna (Barna Research Group) has stated “American Christianity has largely failed since the middle of the 20th century because Jesus’ modern-day disciples do not act like Jesus.”
Our worldview – the way we think – determines how we act. Our actions flow out of our worldview. Unfortunately, most born-again Christians don’t have a Biblical worldview, and so don’t act like Jesus.
Just who are born-again Christians? And what’s a Biblical worldview? This short article addresses these questions and reminds us that
Scripture DOES speak to every square inch of life – even if we haven't ever thought about it.
Effective Bible Study: A Four-Part Method
This document provides an overview of a four-part approach to reading Scripture: historical, literary, Lutheran, and devotional. It discusses asking historical questions about authors, dates, locations to understand context. The literary approach focuses on genre, plot, characters. The Lutheran approach applies law and gospel, Christ-centeredness. Devotional methods include lectio divina and asking text-based questions. The overall purpose is to understand and interpret Scripture from different lenses to apply it to faithful living.
Expositional preaching 19 outline
The document outlines 19 reasons why expositional preaching is important. It discusses how failing to do expositional preaching usurps God's authority over the mind and soul, hinders the work of the Holy Spirit, demonstrates pride and lack of submission, and prevents the preacher from fully developing the mind of Christ. It argues that non-expositional preaching severs the preacher from regular scripture sanctification, cripples worship, and breeds weak congregations indifferent to God's glory. The document emphasizes that the only true source of help is understanding scripture and that expositional preaching assures people they have heard from heaven.
Meaning and Application
This document provides instruction on applying biblical meaning to one's life through a process of observation, interpretation, and application. It explains that application involves finding parallel modern situations addressed by the theological principles in the text. Application must stay true to the author's intended meaning and make specific scenarios or stories relevant to a contemporary audience. The document uses Philippians 4:13 as an example of applying meaning through exploring the original context, finding differences to modern contexts, identifying timeless principles, and discovering a parallel application.
How to study the bible - Pastor Joseph V. Thelusca
The document provides guidance on effective Bible study principles and methods. It recommends studying with an open and submissive attitude, seeking to understand the original context and meaning. Key methods include verse-by-verse analysis, studying books and topics, and applying lessons to one's life. Spiritual disciplines like prayer, note-taking and using study tools can aid regular Bible study and spiritual growth.
Not the first or the last
God calls us to be holy as He is holy. We should conduct ourselves with holiness in all aspects of our lives. The scripture says "Be ye holy; for I am holy." To dwell with God eternally, we must have a character that is fully aligned with His. We cannot truly love what God loves or hate what God hates unless we do so with our whole heart, in full agreement with God's nature and actions at all times. Our thoughts and feelings must be in perfect harmony with God for us to enjoy His presence.
What is modest apparel
God calls us to be holy as He is holy. We are commanded in the Bible to "Be ye holy; for I am holy." To dwell with God eternally, we must have a character that is fully aligned with His - loving what He loves and hating what He hates, with the same fullness of feeling. If our thoughts and feelings are often opposed to God's, dwelling with Him forever in joy would not be possible. We must work to love as God loves and hate as God hates if we want to spend eternity in His presence.

It identifies potential problems as empty promises, use of non-biblical teachings, overemphasis on theory with no practical application, inability to discuss truth, and focus on building members rather than biblical teachings.

Specific bible verses and blog posts are referenced for further guidance on these topics. Contact information is provided to discuss joining disciple training sessions.

Exponential 06 Pastors' Conference: The Treasure Principle
The document discusses Christian giving in America. It notes that American Christians control 70% of global Christian wealth but the average Christian gives only 2.6% of their income. Less than 10% of Christians give 10% or more of their income as recommended in the Bible. Most of the little Americans do give goes to places it shouldn't. The document argues Christians should view themselves as managers of God's resources and store up treasure in heaven through generous giving that puts their heart in the right place with God rather than material possessions on earth.
Theology money class_session_2
The document discusses several parables told by Jesus relating to stewardship and finances. The key lessons are:
1) The parables teach that God owns all things and people are merely stewards of what He has entrusted to them.
2) Faithful stewards use their master's resources wisely and generously to benefit others until the master returns.
3) Stewards will one day give an account to the master and be judged on their faithfulness. The master expects stewards to manage resources well during his absence.

The document discusses several key points around Christian giving:
1. American Christians give a small percentage of their income to the church compared to what is biblically recommended. Increased giving could provide $140 billion more per year for God's work.
2. Where one puts their money shows where their heart is. Christians should give generously to heaven by prioritizing the kingdom of God over earthly possessions.
3. A negative view of heaven, often from misconceptions, prevents many Christians from looking forward to the new earth and hinders their walk with God. They should view heaven as the fulfillment of God's promises.

Exponential06b
The document discusses the importance of how Christians handle money and give generously. It emphasizes that pastors must lead by example in their own giving and challenge their congregations to give beyond just tithing. When church leaders and members excel in generous giving motivated by God's grace, it can transform the church's impact and bring joy.
Exponential '06 Pastors' Conference: The Treasure Principle
The document discusses Christian giving in America. It notes that American Christians control much of the world's Christian wealth but give very little, with the average Christian giving far less than 10% of their income. Younger Christians give even less proportionally. It argues that Christians have misplaced priorities in how they spend their money and that their lack of generous giving hurts the church, missions, and their own spiritual growth. It encourages Christians to view themselves as stewards of God's resources and give more generously to store up treasure in heaven.
Exponential '06 Pastors' Conference: Pastors and Giving
The document discusses the importance of how Christians handle money and give generously. It emphasizes that pastors must lead by example in their own giving and challenge their congregations to give beyond just tithing. When church leaders and members excel in generous giving out of gratitude for God's grace, it can transform the church's impact and bring joy.
Theology money class_session_12
The document discusses various perspectives on leaving inheritances to children from religious texts and prominent figures. It cautions that large inheritances can destroy ambition and virtue in children. Instead, parents are encouraged to leave children with moral character and skills rather than just money and wealth. The document also provides advice on training children to be good stewards of money and generous givers.
Theology money class_session_11
1) The document discusses the dangers of debt and advises living within one's means by depending on God for provision rather than taking on debt.
2) It encourages saving modestly for future needs but warns against hoarding wealth, as one's treasures should be in heaven, not on earth.
3) The document provides biblical principles for avoiding debt, getting out of debt, saving, spending, and ensuring one's resources are used to help those in need.
Theology money class_session_9
The document discusses perspectives on helping the poor from religious texts and figures. It provides numerous biblical passages about showing mercy and generosity to the poor, needy, widows, and orphans. It also discusses how the early church supported believers in need and cared for the poor. However, it cautions that assistance should not enable laziness and that the able-bodied poor should work to meet their own needs when possible.
Theology money class_session_8
The document discusses biblical passages about eternal rewards for believers. It notes that believers will be rewarded according to their works and faithfulness to God. There will be different levels of reward in heaven based on how believers lived on earth, including crowns for overcoming trials and making disciples. The rewards will far outweigh any suffering endured for Christ and motivate Christians to serve wholeheartedly.
Theology money class_session_7
The document presents multiple Bible verses that indicate God will judge all people based on their deeds and works, not just on faith alone. God searches people's hearts and minds, and will repay each person according to what they have done. All will stand before God and be judged for the good or evil things done in their life. The quality and motivations of each person's works will be revealed and tested by fire, and people will be rewarded or suffer loss based on whether their works survive. The goal for Christians is to please God by the good or evil done in their earthly body, as all must stand before Christ to be judged.
Theology money class_session_6
The document discusses the concept of giving and generosity from a Christian perspective. It argues that true giving comes from understanding God's grace, and that Christians should excel in giving just as they excel in other areas of life. The document encourages readers to consider how they can increase their giving and make it a priority before the end of their lives.
Theology money class_session_5
The document discusses biblical perspectives on money, possessions, and generosity. It provides several "keys" or principles: 1) God owns everything and we are merely stewards of what he provides. 2) Where we put our money reveals where our heart is and determines where it will go. 3) Heaven, not earth, is our true home. 4) We should live not just for short-term pleasures but with an eye to eternal rewards. 5) Giving is the only remedy for materialism and selfish desires. 6) God blesses our generosity not to raise our standard of living but to increase our standard of giving.
Theology money class_session_4
The apostle Paul would disagree with Prosperity Theology based on several biblical passages. Paul suffered greatly for spreading the gospel, as did other apostles and early Christians. Jesus and his disciples lived in poverty and humility. The Bible warns that wealth can become a snare and distract from God. True prosperity comes from God and should be used to help others and spread the gospel, not for personal gain.
Theology money class_session_3
The document discusses materialism from both biblical and practical perspectives. It provides numerous biblical illustrations of how materialism and greed were condemned, such as with characters like Achan, Gehazi, and the rich young ruler. It argues that materialism prevents spiritual life, brings unhappiness and anxiety, and always ends in futility, as riches cannot fill what only God can. Happiness does not consist in abundance of possessions but in seeking God's kingdom first.
Theology money class_session_1
The document contains multiple Bible passages about money and wealth. It discusses Jesus observing a poor widow donate her last coins, while many rich people donated large amounts. It notes the poor widow gave more despite her poverty. It also describes a rich fool who stored up wealth for himself but was not rich toward God. God tells the fool his life will be demanded that night, and then who will get what he prepared. The document asks how we would counsel the poor widow and rich fool, and how their worldviews differ from ours.
Persecuted church sermon
The document discusses the persecution and suffering of Christians throughout the world and throughout history. It provides statistics on the number of Christians killed for their faith each day and countries where Christians face persecution. It discusses how Christians should respond to persecution by standing firm in their faith, resisting evil, and finding comfort and strength in God. It also notes that persecution is promised for those who follow Christ and live godly lives.
