This document discusses the spiritual discipline of fasting and its benefits. It notes that fasting requires self-discipline and denial of natural appetites in order to focus on God. Fasting is often linked with prayer in scripture and can make prayers more powerful. When fasting, one should do so quietly and not draw attention to themselves, as fasting is about seeking God not impressing others. The document outlines various reasons Christians throughout history have fasted, including spiritual maintenance, seeking God's help in difficult times, protection from danger, and empowerment for ministry assignments.

Man is composed of spirit, soul, and body. The soul contains the mind, will, and emotions. When Eve saw that the fruit was desirable for gaining wisdom, she ate it and gave some to Adam, who also ate. Their disobedience introduced sin and death into the world. Salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, who came to bring abundant life. Righteous living, good works, and religious acts cannot save; salvation is found solely through accepting Jesus's sacrifice on the cross by grace through faith.
The Benedictine Rule has no chapter on encouragement, but sprinkles advice throughout. Slides from an Oblate meeting in January 2018 at St. Scholastica Monastery in Duluth, MN.

This document discusses the history and importance of the health message in the Adventist church. It traces the origins of the health reform message from visions received by Ellen White in 1863 instructing the establishment of health institutions. The Western Health Reform Institute (later Battle Creek Sanitarium) was opened in 1866. The document outlines biblical support for the health message and principles of diet, exercise, lifestyle, and their connection to spiritual growth and effectiveness in ministry. It emphasizes that health reform was meant to be an integral part of spreading the gospel message to all nations.
This document provides a lesson plan from Majestic Worldwide Ministries on learning from Hannah's prayer in 1 Samuel 2:1-10. The lesson aims to teach participants how to examine their heart before and after prayers are answered, recognize God's sovereignty and trustworthiness over circumstances, and declare God's works prophetically through persistent prayer despite distractions. The background summarizes that Hannah lived during a period of spiritual decline in Israel and prayed fervently for a child despite being barren, which prayer would lead to national change through her son Samuel. The first lesson focuses on how Hannah handled her situation with faith in God's faithfulness rather than bitterness over her condition.
This document provides commentary on a study of 1 Peter 5:6-11 from a daily Bible study series. John R. Wible edited the material, which was derived from various Southern Baptist Convention literature sources and commentaries. The commentary discusses key themes and verses from the passage, including humbling oneself under God's mighty hand, casting one's cares on Him because He cares, resisting the devil who prowls like a roaring lion, and finding strength, restoration, and support from God after suffering for a little while under His plan.
Fasting is abstaining from food, drink, and other things for spiritual purposes. It is mentioned frequently in scripture and practiced by prophets and early Christians. Fasting is prescribed in Islam during the month of Ramadan as a means of spiritual purification, gaining forgiveness, and strengthening one's relationship with God. In addition to spiritual benefits, fasting can provide physical health benefits like rest for the digestive system and potential treatment of diseases.
This document discusses spiritual maturity. Spiritual maturity is defined as being like Christ and requires discipline rather than being automatic. True spiritual maturity is demonstrated through worship, which is described as a lifestyle rather than just weekly services or music. Worship involves private time with God, living out one's faith publicly, and encouraging others. Finally, the document addresses discipleship, noting that spiritual growth requires commitment from the individual as God does His part, and that maturing as a disciple means changing selfish thoughts to more mature thinking.
The document provides guidance on maintaining fellowship with God and avoiding pitfalls. It recommends scheduling daily devotion time, praying for God's help in keeping appointments, and not being discouraged. It also lists pitfalls of the flesh like denial, indulgence, and sins of the mouth. Pitfalls of the spirit include legalism, thinking God will do everything, and extremes. The document advises on spiritual alignment and covering, and judging spiritual leadership through studying the word, checking teaching and hearts, and having counsel before coming out from under authority.

- Health and salvation are gifts from God that must be nurtured corporately within church families, rather than as individual endeavors, in order to preserve and protect them.
- Like Abraham receiving God's promise, health and salvation are given so that we may bless the world. We must live them out together.
- Jesus was the ultimate example of selflessly laboring for human salvation. His benevolence and sacrifice far surpass any human efforts.
- Neglecting health through lustful appetites enslaves people and clouds their understanding of God's word. Christians must prepare for Christ's return by conforming their lives to Scripture.
- Revival involves renewing spiritual life and resurrecting from spiritual

Dr. Bill Bright emphasizes preparing spiritually for fasting and maintaining health. Pastor Lance Witt notes fasting is assumed in the Bible and can be misused but is meant to draw people closer to God.
Jim William's message "Finishing Well" from the Luis Palau Association Alliance Ministries Pacific Northwest Day of Prayer, Dec 1, 2011.
From 2 Tim 4.6-22.
Paul reflects on finishing his life well and keeping the faith as he faces death. He recalls how at his first defense, no one supported him but God strengthened him to spread the gospel to all nations. Paul is confident that God will protect him from evil and bring him safely into God's kingdom. He encourages living with awe and care for others, as everyday people may one day be divine beings or corrupt horrors.
1) Becoming a Christian is easy but remaining faithful in a hostile world is difficult, like running a marathon rather than a sprint.
2) Many biblical figures and historical Christians started well but failed to finish, due to pride, relationships, or money.
3) To finish well like Paul, believers must start well by abandoning distractions, persevere through challenges, and keep their focus on Jesus.

3) To finish well like Paul, believers must start well by abandoning distractions, persevere through challenges, and keep their focus on Jesus.
The document discusses spiritual influence and leadership. It suggests that everyone wants to lead but no one wants the responsibility that comes with leadership. True spiritual leaders in the church accept responsibility, do not lord over others, and are remembered for their obedience. Spiritual influence involves more than just making decisions, but rather having an unseen influence as followers of Christ who encourage others, help the weak, and are kind to all. The document provides guidance on how to expand one's spiritual influence by believing in it, guarding one's credibility, being driven by Christ's values, and always working in partnership with others.
The document discusses finishing well in Christian ministry. It provides quotes from the Bible about running the race of faith and remaining faithful until death. It notes that of the 100 people in the Bible we know about, only 1 in 3 finished well. The document encourages maintaining a relationship with God, constant learning, reflecting Christ-like character, allowing God's truth to be lived out, leaving a legacy, and having a sense of destiny in order to finish well. It discusses factors that have helped the author finish well such as commitment to Christ, a guiding Bible verse, spiritual disciplines, and mentors. The overall message is about persevering faithfully in ministry until the end.
1) The document discusses finishing the Christian faith journey strongly by stripping away anything that hinders one's focus on Jesus or causes them to lose heart.
2) It encourages readers to fix their eyes on Jesus, who endured the cross, as an example of persevering in faith until the end.
3) The key is to run the race marked out with endurance by considering Jesus and staying focused on him despite any opposition.
STARTING WELL & FINISHING EVEN BETTER!!!CHarles Ugeh
The document discusses the biblical story of King Joash, who started his reign well at age 7 but ended poorly after associating with the wrong people later in life. It encourages the reader to start well in the new academic session by writing down goals, associating with mentors like pastors, and befriending the Holy Spirit for guidance. Failing to do these things could lead one to stray from God as Joash did after the death of his mentor Jehoiada. The document calls readers to action in developing goals, accountability partners, and a close relationship with spiritual leaders.
This document discusses finishing life well and faithfully through references from the Bible. It notes that Paul was coming to the end of his life and ministry, but that he had fought the good fight and finished the race of faith. It then provides examples from the Bible of people who started well in faith but did not finish well, such as Noah, Uzziah, Samson and Solomon. These individuals failed to finish well due to issues like lack of discipline, pride, uncontrolled passions or love of worldly things. The document encourages running the race of life and faith so that others may find the example left behind to be faithful.
The document discusses answering God's call by being willing to do whatever God asks, go wherever God sends, use any resources God provides, and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ in order to receive God's blessings. It encourages being open to every opportunity and ready to fulfill God's will.
This document compares Ativan and Klonopin and provides an 8-step program for gaining control of expenses and becoming debt-free. The program involves only purchasing with cash, cutting up credit cards, tracking spending, questioning unnecessary purchases, paying off debts, setting savings goals, and consulting a financial advisor to plan long-term finances. Following these steps will help reduce expenses by breaking the addiction to consumerism and image-driven lifestyles fueled by advertising. With lower expenses and debt freedom, one can then focus on building wealth through savings and investments.
The document discusses trusting in God and his vision. It encourages not leaning on one's own understanding, but rather acknowledging God in all ways. Various areas are listed that need God's trust, including children, youth, home groups, finances, outreach, leadership, schedules, and marriages. The congregation was given a vision by God in previous years that needs to be trusted and lived out in order to truly trust him. Next Sunday will involve committing by faith to trusting God in what he has called the congregation to be and do.
The document discusses providing breakfast for students at school. It suggests including a picture showing children eating breakfast to help illustrate the topic. In just a few words, it focuses on school breakfast programs and using images to depict students participating.
Pastor Marty Duncan provides four ways to properly celebrate Christmas based on scripture:
1. Celebrate God's faithfulness by remembering his promise to send a savior as mentioned in Matthew 1:1-21.
2. Celebrate God's inclusiveness by sharing the message of Jesus' love for all people regardless of differences as seen in Luke 19:10.
3. Celebrate God's sovereignty by trusting that nothing happens without God allowing it as referenced in Matthew 1:7-15.
4. Celebrate God's salvation through Jesus, who the scriptures say provides salvation, as written in Matthew 1:16-21.
Ecclesiastes 12 13 this is the duty of every power point church sermonPowerPoint_Sermons
The document discusses Ecclesiastes 12:13, which says that fearing God and keeping his commandments is the duty of every human being.

Remembering the Past & Trusting in the Futurekab510
Memorial day is upon us again and we should take time to remember those who have passed from labor to reward. In this lesson we examine the past and look forward to tomorrow. Both audio and slides can be viewed together at www.cmcoc.org Sermon by: Brian Birdow
The document compares different translations of Ecclesiastes 12:2-6 and analyzes the overall style of Ecclesiastes. It finds that the King James Version words are the most poetic and archaic, though the form is not truly poetic. The New International Version and New Revised Standard Version translations seem more specific in time and mournful of life. The King James Version uses the most literary devices and has the most matter-of-fact attitude.
CRM stands for customer relationship management, which is both a process for developing and maintaining relationships as well as a software module. The document traces the history and evolution of CRM from mass marketing in the 1960s to relationship marketing in the 1990s. It discusses how CRM provides benefits like better customer service, increased revenues, and simplified processes. The service industry has been a pioneer in adopting CRM practices to manage customer relationships. Examples where CRM has been successfully implemented in services include hospitality, IT, telecom, and financial services.

This document provides guidance on sharing the gospel and discipling new believers. It suggests asking a spiritual infant questions about sin, repentance, faith in Jesus, and baptism. It then outlines ways to nurture the new believer, such as spending time with them, answering questions, and helping form habits like Bible reading, prayer, and church attendance. The goal is for new believers to become independent and more Christ-like over time with patience, encouragement, and demonstrating God's love.
Liberalism fellowshiphallsandentertainmentMichael Smith
This document discusses the liberal view of fellowship halls and entertainment in the church. It argues that these practices are not authorized by scripture and divert the church's focus from its spiritual mission. Key points are that Jesus wants unity through truth, not social activities, and the church's purpose is saving souls rather than entertainment. The conclusion is that fellowship halls and such entertainment divide Christians where Christ wants unity.
The document discusses the benefits of home churches over traditional church models. It argues that home churches allow for greater spiritual growth and fellowship as people naturally bond in a home setting. It also notes that home churches are more accessible given changing demographics as people are moving to more populated urban areas. Home churches have a low cost structure without large buildings and overhead. The document provides guidance on how to start a home church, including developing spiritual competencies, gathering a community focused on spiritual formation, and inviting others to join. The goal is to help members mature spiritually through practices like Bible study, prayer, fellowship and service.
The document discusses the importance of balancing five elements - discipleship, fellowship, worship, ministry, and evangelism - in small group ministry to create healthy groups.

It discusses that true reform begins with heart reform, and that violating health laws is a sin as it violates God's moral law. Medical missionary work is important for sharing physical and spiritual healing, and will become the primary work of ministers.
1. The document discusses how Christians still struggle with "shackles and chains" from their past even after accepting Christ, such as addictions, relationship issues, low self-esteem, and mental health problems.
2. It promotes the use of "healing prayer" to help break these chains by examining issues in light of scripture, inviting God's presence, and rejecting the influence of the enemy in order to experience greater freedom and healing.
3. The healing prayer process is described as a way to apply scripture practically to life's struggles and receive comprehensive ministry that addresses contributing root causes rather than just symptoms.
Over the years, I've read and studied a lot about tithing and this one thing I know for sure, God never said he wanted money as a tithe. In fact, the Hebrew word for tithe the Ma'aser. It means tenth part. The tenth part that Ma'aser refers to everything eatable. The Bible does mention money but money was never paid to the priests or Levites as a tithe. Not one single occupation in the Bible that a person had ever cough up ten percent to temple. So if the Bible is clear on tithing and who paid the actual agricultural, herd and flock tithe, then why do people persist to perpetuate and non-biblical monetary tithe system that the foreign to the scriptures.

Vocation and Mission: The Aim of Discipleship (Building a Better Disciple Par...Jonathan Sullivan
Faith that is not put into practice is sterile. Connecting the themes of the previous webinars we will explore how the faithful participate in the Church’s mission in the world through their particular gifts and calling.
This is the fifth in a five-part webinar series on Christian discipleship.
1) Paul expresses his joy and thankfulness for the Philippians in remembering their participation in spreading the gospel from the beginning of their faith.
2) He finds joy in interceding for them through prayer, focusing on their welfare rather than his own difficulties.
3) Paul is grateful for the Philippians' enduring partnership with him in the gospel mission through their generous financial support of his ministry.
Lesson 05 Sequential Evangelism and WitnessingCMN :PPT
This document discusses the importance of sequential evangelism, where spiritual truths are presented gradually from simple to complex. It notes Jesus and Paul presented "milk" or basic gospel truths before "meatier" concepts. Several principles of sequential evangelism are explored through Bible verses, including understanding people's "felt needs", presenting testing truths only after a relationship with Christ is established, and nurturing spiritual growth like tending a garden. The goal is leading people along a journey to full Christian maturity.
This document provides an overview of the fruit of the Holy Spirit called "goodness" according to scripture. It discusses goodness as exhibiting integrity, honesty, compassion and doing the right thing even when difficult. Goodness takes virtue and models it to others through loving actions. It is the opposite of cruelty, ruthlessness, and evil. Goodness comes from allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us and control our actions, not from human effort alone. The document uses several biblical examples to illustrate goodness and its importance.
The document discusses the differences between the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit. Fruits are the result of a process as the Holy Spirit works in a believer's life, while gifts are abilities freely given to believers to serve God. It provides lists of spiritual gifts mentioned in the Bible and describes them. While gifts should be identified and used, the focus should be on bearing the fruit of the Spirit which are Christ-like qualities like love, joy, peace and more.
This document discusses the concept of calling from a Christian perspective. It examines several beliefs, including that God calls all Christians to radical discipleship and gifts each person for service. Additionally, it is believed that every Christian is full-time for God's glory in all areas of life, not just traditional ministry roles. The document also addresses how to determine which cultural aspects to accept or reject to align with God's desires. It provides a framework for evaluating items like dancing by considering their original creation purpose and how sin has impacted them before exploring redemptive options.
The document discusses the spiritual gift of healing mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12. It provides context on spiritual gifts and debates around whether the gift of healing is still operative today. The document also discusses divine healing more broadly and provides biblical answers to questions about why God doesn't heal everyone, the role of faith in healing, and what the Bible says about healing. Key points made include that the gift of healing in the Bible was given primarily to apostles to affirm their message, God's healing isn't always physical, and ultimate healing awaits in heaven.
This document discusses how God communicates with people. It states that God speaks mainly through the Holy Spirit and the Bible. It explores some of the ways God communicated in the Old Testament, including through angels, visions, dreams, and miracles. It also notes that in the Gospels, God spoke through Jesus, and today God speaks through the Holy Spirit and Bible. The document provides examples of how God communicates through prayer, circumstances, and the church. It emphasizes that the most important thing is that God does speak to people, not necessarily how He speaks.
The document examines the difference between true and counterfeit Christianity. It discusses how joy is a supernatural delight in God rather than being dependent on circumstances. True Christians worship God spiritually rather than relying on outward religious acts. The passage in Philippians 3:1-3 contrasts those who are religious but not righteous with the true circumcision who find their identity in Christ rather than outward marks.

The document states that the purpose of government is to protect and promote the well-being of all citizens. It says that when deciding which political party to vote for in a national election, voters should consider which party is best positioned to address issues like crime, corruption, protecting the environment, managing the economy, and inequities in society, as well as promoting moral behavior, spiritual values, racial and religious harmony, transparent governance, and public discourse.
A Christian Believer's Covenant by Kwame PayneNkpayne47
This document outlines a Christian believer's covenant to glorify God through their thoughts, beliefs, feelings, choices, deeds, and words. It also includes commitments to maintain a high standard of Christian living through Bible study and prayer, influence others to accept Jesus, attend church services regularly, faithfully participate in ministry teams, and complete the work God has given them to do.
The document discusses signs that the Holy Spirit is present in a believer's life. It states that a person led by the Holy Spirit will have their thinking, feelings, and actions aligned with God's will. They will live according to God's word and not in darkness. Additionally, they will have the assurance from the Holy Spirit that God is their father. Over time, they will bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit, such as love, joy, and self-control. They will also recognize the anointing of the Holy Spirit on their life and be willing to testify about the gospel and suffer for their faith.
God speaks to people through audible and inner voices, inspired scripture, godly and ungodly people, nature, circumstances, dreams, visions, answered and unanswered prayers, and Jesus Christ. The document explores the many ways in which God communicates with humanity, including directly through voices, indirectly through people, nature, and life events, and through scripture, dreams, and Jesus.
Evidence of Christian Maturity by Kwame PayneNkpayne47
A mature Christian is characterized by acting in love towards all people, displaying joy, pursuing peace, and practicing patience. They are also known for kindness, faithfulness to Jesus Christ, meekness, self-control, mentoring others, studying the Bible, prayer, stewardship including tithing, fellowship, hospitality, enduring suffering, cherishing the environment, promoting truth, championing justice, and being passionate about sharing the gospel.
Personal Goal Setting for a More Fulfilling LifeNkpayne47
The document outlines personal goals in different areas of life to work towards a fulfilling life. It suggests setting spiritual goals like recognizing God's presence daily, social goals like making a new friend monthly, and personal goals like examining beliefs and values annually. Goals are also proposed for environmental, mental, physical, vocational, financial, and material areas of life. It emphasizes that goals need completion dates to be effective.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
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
