1. The document discusses the Christian belief in resurrection of the body, noting that while our physical bodies deteriorate, Christians believe they will be resurrected and transformed when Christ returns.
2. It notes that death is certain for all humans as a result of sin, but Christians believe death is not the final word through Christ's victory over death.
3. At the resurrection, believers will be given new, imperishable bodies that are restored and perfected versions of their earthly bodies to enjoy eternal life without the presence of sin or death.
George Whitefield (1714-1770) was an English evangelist who helped spread the Great Awakening in Britain and America. He had a conversion experience where he realized one must be "born again" to be Christian. He was ordained and began preaching, attracting thousands to his revivals in England, America, and Scotland. His preaching brought many people to faith in Christ. At his funeral, John Wesley praised Whitefield for spreading the gospel more widely than any person since the apostles and bringing many sinners to faith in God.
The document outlines the 3 dimensions of faith: doctrine which involves believing in God and answers the question "What can I know?"; morals which involves doing God's will and answers "What should I do?"; and worship which involves entrusting God and answers "What I hope for?". Each dimension is associated with a question, subjective experience, Filipino equivalent, focus (creed, commandments, or prayers), human faculty (mind, will, or heart), apostolic prayer (to know, to serve, or to love), and value (maturity, freedom, or spiritual joy).
This document provides an introduction and overview of the content that will be covered in a church history class. It is divided into four main sections: Early Church, Medieval, Reformation, and Modern. The Early Church period discusses the development of Christianity from the end of the New Testament to 500 CE. It highlights the transition from Judaism and adaptation to Greco-Roman culture. The Medieval section covers 500-1500 CE and the split between the Western and Eastern churches. The Protestant Reformation discusses the splintering of Christianity in the 1500s. The Modern section addresses developments from 1600-2009 including diversity, secularization, and the shift in Christianity's center.
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity who has been present since Creation. He is described through many symbols including wind, fire, a dove, and anointing with oil. The Holy Spirit gives gifts to believers and manifests Christ, making him present through the Church, sacraments, and helping believers understand and live out their faith.
Salvation history is the progressive unfolding of God's plan to save humanity from sin and death after the Fall. This plan involves a series of covenants and promises from God to figures like Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and the prophets, all preparing for the coming of Jesus Christ. Key promises included preserving life (Noah), establishing a chosen people and blessing the world (Abraham), giving the law and bringing them to the Promised Land (Moses), and founding an everlasting kingdom (David). The deeper reason for these promises was to prefigure Christ, who would bring full and final salvation.
The Gospel of Mark portrays Jesus as the Messiah and Son of God who fulfills scripture with his authoritative teachings, but is opposed and misunderstood. Jesus acknowledges to his disciples that he is the Christ but must suffer and die as the Son of God. At his death, even Jesus questions why God has forsaken him, but he is ultimately vindicated through his resurrection.

The Gospel of John was traditionally written by John the Apostle around AD 90 in Ephesus. It focuses on establishing Jesus' divine nature and identity as the Son of God. The gospel contains seven "I am" statements where Jesus identifies himself as the bread of life, the light of the world, the gate/door, the good shepherd, the resurrection and the life, the way and the truth, and the true vine. The gospel emphasizes Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel and the Savior of all humanity.
Jesus went to John the Baptist to be baptized. John protested that Jesus should baptize him instead of the other way around. However, Jesus said that baptism was necessary to "fulfill all righteousness." When Jesus was baptized, the sky opened and the Spirit of God descended on him like a dove. A voice from heaven said "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."
The document provides an analysis of the Book of Jonah structured as a chiasm. It highlights how the chiasm draws attention to the central theme of God's saving mercy in the face of Jonah's disobedience. Specifically, it contrasts Jonah's indifference with the pagan sailors' compassion for Jonah. It also analyzes Jonah 1:3-16, noting Jonah's downward movement representing his spiritual state, and how the passage illustrates the key theme of fear through the different responses of Jonah and the sailors.
This document discusses atheism and examines its truth claims. It argues that atheism requires faith since it cannot be proven that God does not exist. Atheists counter that God's existence is improbable, but the document notes that improbable things exist, like humanity. It also argues that atheism cannot meet the evidentiary standards for its serious truth claims. While some atheists cite science as disproving God, the document contends that science points to a creator and that scientism has moral failures. Ultimately, the document concludes that atheism relies on faith just like other worldviews.
The document outlines three dimensions of the Christian faith: doctrine, morals, and worship. It aims to make readers familiar with these dimensions and appreciate the importance of integrated catechesis, or religious education that combines all three dimensions. An effective catechesis teaches the core beliefs or doctrine of Christianity (head), inspires moral values and commitments to service (hands), and fosters community, prayer, and celebration (heart).
Paul's first missionary journey began after he spent time in Arabia and Damascus. He then traveled to Jerusalem to meet Peter and spent 15 days with him. Paul was still personally unknown to most churches at that time. He saw none of the other apostles besides James. Christians who had fled persecution in Jerusalem had spread the word in Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch. In Antioch, some began speaking to Greeks as well as Jews about Jesus. The church in Antioch grew greatly as many there believed.
This document provides an overview of a presentation on the topic of Christology, or the study of the person and nature of Jesus Christ. It outlines several objectives of the study, including examining prophecies about Jesus' life, his dual divine and human natures, the doctrine of kenotic Christology, the magnitude of his temptations, and the necessity of his human nature. It then discusses predictions about Jesus that were fulfilled from the Old Testament. Finally, it explores biblical evidence that Jesus was fully God and fully man.
"The Objectivity Of Moral Judgments" by G.E. MooreArvino Chandi
G.E. Moore was a prominent 20th century British philosopher and logician who was influential in the analytic tradition. In his book Principia Ethica, Moore argues against ethical naturalism and various forms of relativism. He rejects the ideas that ethics is based on feelings, what society thinks, or relativism. Instead, Moore believes that moral judgments are objective and not merely opinions or feelings about actions.
This document discusses the nature and practice of prayer from both a biblical and theological perspective. It begins by providing definitions of prayer from various spiritual figures. It then outlines different forms of Christian prayer like blessing, adoration, petition, intercession, thanksgiving, and praise. The document also discusses expressions of prayer like vocal, meditative, and contemplative prayer. It provides guidance on obstacles to prayer and sources that can aid prayer, using the Lord's Prayer as a model. Overall, the document serves as a comprehensive overview of the theology and practice of Christian prayer.
This document provides biblical evidence that Jesus Christ is God based on passages from the Old and New Testaments. It asserts that Isaiah 9:6 refers to the Messiah as the "mighty God" and "everlasting Father". Several other Old Testament passages referenced, including Isaiah 7:14 and Micah 5:2, also identify attributes of the Messiah that align with Jesus being God. The New Testament further establishes Jesus's deity, with passages like John 20:28 where Thomas calls Jesus "Lord and God", and Colossians 2:9 which says all the fullness of God resides in Jesus. Overall, the document argues that Jesus is the manifestation of God in human form to reconcile humanity and reveal God to people.

John the Baptist preached repentance in the wilderness and baptized many who confessed their sins in the Jordan River. Jesus also came to John to be baptized, saying it was necessary to fulfill all righteousness, after which the Holy Spirit descended on him. Baptism involves repentance, humility, surrender, and obedience to God.
The four Gospels provide accounts of Jesus's life and ministry from different perspectives. Matthew primarily writes for a Jewish audience to show that Jesus fulfilled Hebrew prophecies as the Messiah. The Gospel covers Jesus's birth, teachings, miracles, death, and resurrection. Matthew presents Jesus as the prophesied King of the Jews and emphasizes that he established the kingdom of God through his atoning sacrifice.
The document discusses the development and importance of creeds in Christianity. It provides background on the Apostles' Creed and Nicene Creed, including their origins, purposes, and key beliefs. The Apostles' Creed is considered a faithful summary of the apostles' teachings and is divided into sections about God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Nicene Creed was based on ecumenical church councils and provides a more detailed profession of faith.
The Apostles Creed is a prayer summarizing core Christian beliefs, including belief in God the Father, Jesus Christ who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered and died under Pontius Pilate but rose from the dead, and ascended to heaven, belief in the Holy Spirit, and the holy Catholic Church.
- Creation is the special act by which God freely creates all things out of nothing. Scripture testifies that human beings are unique in having both a material body and a spiritual soul, each directly created by God.
- God created Adam and Eve without defect and with extraordinary gifts like intimate friendship with himself.
- The Fall was the historical event where the first human beings disobeyed God, suffering serious consequences like losing grace and friendship with God. As their descendants, humans now inherit original sin and live without grace until the promise of salvation.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

1. [Church Name]
Statement of Faith (Sample)
About God
We are a Christ-Centered church that is dedicated to loving God with all our heart, mind and soul and to
loving our neighbor as ourselves.
We believe there is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the
Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Ephesians
4:4-6, Colossians 2:9, 1 Timothy 3:16)
About The Bible
The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. (2 Timothy 3:15-
17)
About Sin and Salvation
We believe that God created Adam and Eve in His image, but they sinned when tempted by Satan.
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning
sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Only through God’s saving grace and work in Jesus Christ can we be rescued,
reconciled and renewed. (Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9)
About the Gospel
The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the
gospel (2 Thessalonians 1:8; 1 Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of
Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection). (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4,
37-39; Romans 6:3-4)
About Christian Living
As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and
worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. (Mark
12:28-31; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Corinthians 12:8-10)
About the Future
Jesus Christ is coming again for His church. The righteous will inherit eternal life and the unrighteous
eternal death. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15)
