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.

Does pilgrimage still take place today? What do the UEFA European Football Championship and tennis at Wimbledon have in common with Hajj? How can you support friends or colleagues during the Hajj and Eid season? Discover this and more in our presentation on the topic and take our quiz to test your knowledge on completion.
Chayil Honor
This document discusses the concept of honor as the fourth pillar. It provides several points about honor: honor is having a good reputation and the respect of others; it is giving praise and keeping agreements. The document encourages honoring parents, marriage, pastors, and others as they are made in God's image. Living righteously and representing God with honor brings glory to him.
The Mission Recruiters
The document discusses defining one's mission as recruiting others to join God's ongoing mission to heal and beautify the world, which is equivalent to the kingdom of God. It argues that this definition aligns more closely with Jesus' teachings than alternative definitions that focus more on church activities, exclusivity, or the afterlife. The conclusion summarizes the mission of a specific church as playing God's music, inviting others to dance, celebrating all people, and recruiting others for God's healing mission.
Church Sermon: The Sacrifice
The document provides advice for how to live in the new year 2016, encouraging people to be grateful, appreciative, kind, good, and thoughtful. It suggests ceasing shameful behaviors, changing to fulfill God's purpose, continuing sacrificial good works, and challenging one's faith through new experiences to grow closer to God.
Responding with God’s Love and Goodness
When we encounter individuals who exhibit unkindness or even hostility toward us, how does God want us to respond? Let’s see the benefits of responding with God’s love and goodness.
2 Develop: Managing My Finances, Faith and Relationships
1. The document provides guidance on managing finances, faith, and relationships according to biblical principles. It discusses managing money through earning, saving, and giving.
2. In regards to faith, it emphasizes the need for continual spiritual growth and exercising faith through both claiming and trusting. Faith is received from God and developed through His word and actions.
3. Healthy relationships are important for life's experiences and fulfillment. The document provides examples from the Bible on cultivating relationships.

S.h.a.p.e. intro student notes- highlight
This document discusses the concept of S.H.A.P.E., which stands for Spiritual Gifts, Heart/Passion, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences. It asserts that understanding one's S.H.A.P.E. is key to discovering God's purpose for one's life. Each letter of S.H.A.P.E. represents an aspect of a person - their spiritual gifts, passions, natural abilities, personality traits, and life experiences. Taken together, a person's unique S.H.A.P.E. provides insight into how they can best serve God and fulfill their Kingdom Purpose.

4 Discipline: Managing My Generosity,Values & Growth
This document discusses principles of financial stewardship and generosity based on biblical teachings. It covers managing generosity by focusing outward through giving, which benefits both the giver and receiver. Strong values provide moral direction, as shown through comparisons of King David and Saul. Personal growth is also important, though it requires active effort rather than just experience. The document provides biblical examples and practical steps individuals can take to strengthen their generosity, values, and continued personal development.
Enlarge the place
This document discusses growing a church through removing barriers, claiming promises from God, and going deeper in faith. It encourages enlarging the church by filling every seat to save more souls from hell. Barriers like those in the temple preventing some from entering must be torn down so the gospel can reach all people. By strengthening faith, comprehending God's love more fully, and experiencing His presence, the church can lengthen its support and recognize God's heart.
Benefits of Getting Rich
The document promotes a program called Krishna rock that claims to provide a better life with health, wealth, freedom and the ability to help others. It suggests taking action by writing down reasons for wanting to be rich in order to receive a crisis management plan and help from money. The program is advertised as being better than before and allowing one to work from anywhere as their own boss.

Jesus in Judges: Gideon: The Warrior of God
Gideon is born into an insignificant family. We first meet him filled with fear and hiding in a wine press when he is called to deliver God’s people by an angel. In the Garden of Gethsemane, which contained an olive press, Jesus is “hard-pressed” by the looming suffering before Him. He too is strengthened by angels. Gideon is a flawed man. However, he obeys God’s call and relies on the power of the Spirit to secure victory. He cuts down his father’s pagan idol, and later he cuts down the Midianite army that had oppressed his people. Gideon is a picture of the spiritual warrior who trusts not in his own might, but in God’s power.
Come Home - Richard Hindley - 30th April 2017
The document discusses breaking God's commandments, pursuing false gods, and becoming disconnected from God. It suggests asking yourself if you are doing these things and encourages returning to God like the prodigal son returned to his loving father. The document frames Israel's relationship to God as one of covenant fidelity or unfaithfulness and discusses the consequences of each.
Renew week 1 commit to pursuing god joshua 24 lg questions
The document discusses committing to pursuing God by renewing one's covenant with Him, as the people of Israel did in Joshua 24:14-15. It challenges readers to examine how faithfully they pursued God in 2011, identify any "gods" that competed for their devotion, and make practical decisions to pursue God with sincerity and faithfulness in 2012 as individuals and as a church community.
Lombard easter egg
The document contains lyrics from several Christian worship songs praising God and Jesus Christ. It discusses God/Jesus's love and salvation being offered to believers through faith in him. The lyrics declare that believers should love, serve, and sing to God/Jesus with their whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. They watch and pray for Jesus's return as king over all.
Effective leadership for a changing world
This document discusses the need for effective leadership in a changing world. It notes that culture is shifting rapidly away from Christianity as the center. However, Christianity is also growing rapidly globally and many in North America desire spiritual growth. Effective modern leaders require strong character, spiritual practices, and leadership skills to guide Christians and churches through this transition and equip people for ministry.
CHASING LIGHT 2 - GREED - SIS KAREN LIMOS MIRA- 6:30PM EVENING SERVICE
This document discusses greed and how to combat it. It defines greed as an intense selfish desire for wealth, power, or possessions. Greed destroys one's ability to trust God as the sole source. The antidote to greed is developing a life of contentment and generous giving to God through tithes as well as to those in need. By giving regularly to God and looking for opportunities to give daily, one can defeat greed and put their trust in God alone rather than material possessions or wealth.
Community Champions 101 - Week 1
Welcome to Community Champions 101 - Week 1 - Getting to know you and your expectations. Learning to lead like a champion and come alongside someone to encourage, prepare, equip, and help others succeed. What is a champion? What isn't a champion! Pitfalls and the gift you are able to give someone.
I Will
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.
Ecclesiastes 12 13 this is the duty of every power point church sermon
The document discusses Ecclesiastes 12:13, which says that fearing God and keeping his commandments is the duty of every human being. It provides four different translations of this verse, all conveying the same message - that humans should revere God and follow his laws, as this is the purpose for which people were created and the key to happiness.
Ativan versus klonopin
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.
Accepting Others in the World
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.
Remembering the Past & Trusting in the Future
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
Chosen, Challenged and Changed
The document discusses how a woman was chosen, challenged, and changed according to a Bible passage. It describes how the Lord chose her and they had a discussion at a well, how he challenged or called her, and how he ultimately changed her viewpoint, leading her to share the living water with others in her town.
Doing Christmas Right
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.

Ecclesiastes12
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
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.
Inductive Sermon Forms
This document provides outlines and forms for inductive sermons. It discusses reminders for inductive sermons such as not needing an introduction and stating the main idea in the conclusion. It then provides examples of two-point, three-point, and four-point outlines including problem/solution, law/gospel, and explore-explain-apply. Finally, it discusses multiple point outlines and the Lowry Loop form, which aims to give narrative qualities to expository sermons.
You must believe and act on it
Jesus told his disciples that even a small amount of faith, like a mustard seed, could accomplish great things. He used the examples of telling a mulberry tree to be uprooted or a mountain to move to illustrate that true faith, no matter how small, can overcome obstacles and problems when one speaks to them in prayer. Later passages and teachers emphasized that it is not the quantity but the quality of one's living faith that enables remarkable things to happen through speaking God's word to challenges in life.
Heavenly treasures part 2
The document discusses how people's view of material possessions can indicate their level of spirituality. It notes that Jesus taught that those in God's kingdom should not define themselves by their wealth or possessions. The document then gives several examples showing how pursuing wealth and consumption can negatively impact people's health, relationships and morality. It concludes that how one views and uses money reveals one's spiritual priorities, and that a focus on materialism often indicates a lack of understanding of spiritual truths.
The Will To Succeed
This document contains information about the progression of men's 100 meter sprint world records over time from 1912 to 2009. It also contains several bible passages about having faith in God, wisdom, and the will to succeed despite challenges, limitations, or failures. Key points are having determination, unwillingness to give up, and relentlessly pursuing goals with God's guidance and help.
Biblical View of Success by Kwame Payne
What does Success look like? Don't fall into the trap of Climbing the Ladder of Success only to discover it was leaning against the wrong wall.
090214 why give yourself totally to god
This document discusses committing one's entire life to serving God. It explains that the motivation for Christian living is experiencing God's mercy through Christ. The basic commitment is to offer one's entire body as a living, holy, and pleasing sacrifice to God as reasonable worship. This commitment involves offering everything one has and is to the Lord as an act of worship through both initial and ongoing willingness. The document encourages readers to recognize their spiritual gifts and use them enthusiastically in church ministry, investing themselves boldly for God's glory regardless of their abilities.
Finishing well
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.
Trusting God in Tough Times
This document discusses how adversity can lead to blessings. It provides biblical examples of people like Job, John Bunyan, Joni Eareckson Tada, and Muhammad who experienced hardship but their response brought honor to God and helped others. Their struggles created opportunities for great blessings. It also suggests tough times can help us see God better, hear God more clearly, and draw closer to God. Rather than wasting sufferings, times of suffering can be opportunities for personal growth.

Basic financial principles for the church
This document provides an overview of basic financial principles for a church. It discusses why studying finances is important, as financial problems factor into many divorces. How people handle money demonstrates their values. The document outlines five basic financial principles: 1) God owns everything, 2) Give to God cheerfully, 3) Spend less than you make, 4) Spend only on good things, 5) Teach children.

Tatesbrook 2008 Financial Report
The document discusses Tatesbrook Celebration's plan to pay off their mortgage loan of $30,000 with 10% interest and monthly payments of $641. They budgeted extra payments to pay off the loan in early 2010 but any additional income this year will instead go toward paying off the loan in 2009.
Time and Space
The document discusses how developing intimacy with God requires seeking to know him through deliberately making time and space for him each day. It notes that as with human relationships, the depth of love and knowledge is proportional. It suggests practical ways to create quality, unrushed, and regular time including through communion with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who desires intimacy.
CAT Sermon: January 14, 2007
This document discusses the destructive nature of sin and the importance of taking sin seriously. It uses King David as an example of someone who acknowledged his sin and was miserable about it. The document warns against having a soft attitude about sin and developing sinful attitudes like thinking God owes us something. It encourages trusting God when he warns about the destruction of sin and establishing humility in repenting from sin.
CAT Sermon: January 7, 2007
The document discusses the concept of trust and letting go. It describes a story from the Bible where Jesus tells a rich young man to sell his possessions and give to the poor if he wants eternal life. The young man leaves sadly because he has many possessions. The document says trust is willing to fail at following one's heart rather than succeeding at things that don't matter. It identifies three areas of trusting God: hearing His voice, dying to ourselves, and wearing His yoke.
Christmas Card 2001
The document references a passage from Isaiah about a child being born who will have the government rest upon his shoulders. It then notes that this was not a normal year and their faith in the unchanging Lord increased as the world around them was shaken. It wishes the recipient and their family a Merry Christmas and that their family would never be the same.
Christmas Card 2000
Adam accepted Christ as his savior and was baptized, witnessing the birth of the Spirit of Christ within him.

CAT Sermon: November 5, 2006
God's ultimate purpose is to prepare a bride for his son. Believers are called to experience the same oneness as the Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The key to unity and oneness is peace. When people receive salvation through Jesus Christ, God's wrath is turned away and they stand righteous before God. God desires for believers to know his oneness through walking in the peace of Christ. The witness of the church in the world depends on its effectiveness in being one with God.
CAT Sermon: October 22, 2006
A testimony is meant to express how and why one lives according to God. It honors God, reminds us of his goodness, and encourages others. An effective testimony is built upon what Christ has done for us and continues to focus on Jesus. It is important for believers to understand key truths about God's love, man's sinfulness, Christ's payment for sin, salvation as a gift, and having eternal life through receiving Jesus. One's testimony should be updated daily to reflect their current understanding of what God has revealed.
CAT Sermon: October 15, 2006
The document discusses the need for churches today to return to the basics and biblical model of how the early New Testament churches functioned. It emphasizes that churches should operate as organisms with interdependent parts rather than impersonal organizations, and should focus on ministry, developing leadership through character, and revealing God's glory. The document also contrasts how churches functioned in the New Testament versus today's churches.
Back to Basics
The document discusses living the Christian life as Jesus lived it. It states that Jesus lived as God at the first and highest level, in a human body at the third level. Believers receive God's first level eternal life but many do not live according to it and instead live by Satan's influence. The key is to cooperate with the indwelling Holy Spirit and be transformed by reading and applying God's word daily, in order to reach our full God-given potential as Jesus did.

John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.

sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
OM Meditation - ultimate meditation technique
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.

Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.
These follow certain well defined laws of nature and are controlled by nervous (electrical) and chemical (hormones) mechanisms to bring about movement and action in each and every cell.
Thus annamaya kosha is the physical frame which the grossest of the five Koshas.Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
