Galatians 3:19-5:1 discusses the relationship between faith, freedom, and the law. Paul argues that the law was meant to be a temporary guardian until Christ came, and that through faith in Christ we are no longer bound under the law's custody but are made heirs to God's promises. Both Jew and Gentile, slave and free, male and female are made equal as children of God through baptism into Christ. Christ has set us free from the slavery of the law so that we might receive adoption as sons through faith.

The document discusses the importance of fellowship and community among Christians according to several Bible passages. It outlines five "links" that bring believers together: gathering together regularly, being knit together in love, joining together in mind and spirit, striving together for the faith, and ultimately being caught up together to meet God. The overall message is that fellowship and unity among the body of Christ are essential according to scripture.
1) When one has faith in Jesus Christ, they become a new creation with a new identity in Him. Their old, sinful self is nailed to the cross and they are no longer slaves to sin.
2) A Christian's identity in Christ should be evident from their love for others, actions, and behavior which should mirror Christ.
3) With this new identity, Christians have a restored relationship with God as His adopted children and can approach Him boldly with confidence, knowing nothing can separate them from His love.
Not only do we identify with Christ, but Christ identifies with us. We are the body of Christ as He has chosen to make Himself known through the church.
The document discusses loving one another as God loves us. It says that each person has a part to play and different gifts to offer. God calls us to serve and love one another using the abilities he has given us. When we obey God and love others, we remain in his love and bring him joy.
This document contains summaries of two Bible passages, reflection questions on being made new in Christ, and a prayer. The passages discuss how we should no longer view others or Christ based on outward appearances but on their spiritual nature, and how Christ is the image of God, creator of all, and reconciler through his death on the cross. The reflection questions prompt examining what we try to add to God's grace, our focus on performance over relationship with God, and supporting others on their spiritual journeys.

Christians are challenged to reflect on modeling these traits, clinging to old sins, areas drawing their focus from God, and how releasing sin could change their focus to God.
This document discusses what Christians should bring to worship. It emphasizes bringing a desire to know the truth, a willingness to be transformed, seeking fellowship with God and others, giving our best, loving one another, and coming prepared.

The document discusses the importance of parents imparting their faith to their children. It cites passages encouraging parents to talk about God's commands at home, impress them on their children's hearts, and tell stories of God's mighty acts. The church's role is to equip and encourage parents, pursue excellence in ministry, and stand in the gap for the fatherless. The document encourages aligning values with knowing Christ rather than worldly priorities and living a faith that children see as an adventure rather than just rituals.
The document discusses how Christians should live in the world but not be defined by it. It provides examples from the Letter to Diognetus of how early Christians lived counter-culturally by conforming to social customs but not adopting worldly values or behaviors. Christians married, had families and jobs like others but did not kill children and maintained separate sleeping arrangements. They obeyed laws but surpassed them through holy living. The letter encourages Christians to transform by renewing their minds, not conforming to the world.

Chapter 1. Praise of the Ephesians
I have become acquainted with your name, much-beloved in
God
, which you have acquired by the
habit
of righteousness, according to the
faith
and
love
in
Jesus Christ our Saviour
. Being the followers of
God
, and stirring up yourselves by the blood of
God
, you have perfectly accomplished the work which was beseeming to you. For, on hearing that I came bound from
Syria
for the common name and
hope
, trusting through your
prayers
to be permitted to fight with beasts at
Rome
, that so by
martyrdom
I may indeed become the
disciple
of Him
Ephesians 5:2
[you hastened to see me ]. I received, therefore, your whole multitude in the name of
God
, through Onesimus, a man of inexpressible
love
, and your
bishop
in the flesh, whom I pray you by Jesus Christ to
love
, and that you would all seek to be like him. And
blessed
be He who has granted unto you, being worthy, to obtain such an excellent
bishop
.
Chapter 2. Congratulations and entreaties
As to my fellow-servant Burrhus, your
deacon
in regard to
God
and
blessed
in all things, I beg that he may continue longer, both for your
honour
and that of your
bishop
. And Crocus also, worthy both of
God
and you, whom I have received as the manifestation of your
love
, has in all things refreshed
1 Corinthians 16:18

me, as the Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ
shall also refresh

, etc.
him; together with Onesimus, and Burrhus, and Euplus, and Fronto, by means of whom, I have, as to
love
, beheld all of you. May I always have
joy
of you, if indeed I be worthy of it. It is therefore befitting that you should in every way glorify
Jesus Christ
, who has glorified you, that by a unanimous
obedience
1 Corinthians 1:10
and that, being subject to the
bishop
and the
presbytery
, you may in all respects be sanctified.
Chapter 3. Exhortations to unity
I do not issue orders to you, as if I were some great person. For though I am bound for the
name [of Christ]
, I am not yet
perfect
in
Jesus Christ
. For now I begin to be a
disciple
, and I speak to you as fellow-disciples with me. For it was needful for me to have been stirred up by you in
faith
, exhortation, patience, and long-suffering. But inasmuch as
love
suffers me not to be silent in regard to you, I have therefore taken upon me first to exhort you that you would all run together i.
When presenting ourselves to God through Christ, we must be purified, holy, and neat. Neglecting to shine Christ's light will cause spiritual death. Christians should engage in daily morning and evening prayer as the Israelites did with their sacrifices. The object of the Christian life is to reproduce Christ's character in ourselves and others, just as Jesus is the bread of life that sustains us. God's law is love, and we should make life beautiful by spreading love for others as the flowers do.
After a repentant sinner experienced justification by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone and has shown evidence of new life (new birth), this is a sermon on "Sanctification (Practical Holiness)" for the believers already.

Won't You Be my Neighbor? When Jesus Colors Outside Your LinesCompassChurch
In a synagogue on the Sabbath, Jesus sees a woman who had been disabled for 18 years. When he heals her, the ruler of the synagogue criticizes Jesus for healing on the Sabbath. Jesus responds that even animals are given help on the Sabbath, so why not this daughter of Abraham who Satan had bound for 18 years. The people rejoiced at Jesus' actions.

It emphasizes having compassion for others and desiring mercy over sacrifice or rules, as Jesus called people to help others and not just follow religious laws. The document suggests we should emulate the Samaritan's compassionate actions.
The Real Deal: Overcoming The World The Easy WayCompassChurch
So you either overcome the world or the world overcomes you. Either you love the world and you become a slave to the world and you buy all that it sells you, you drink all of its Kool Aid only to have it turn on you and destroy you in the end. Or you figure out a way to live in this world so that you can prevail in it. Even you might say, overcome it.
The Real Deal: How To Love People (When You Don't Really Like Them)CompassChurch
The document discusses the importance of love according to 1 John 4:7-12. It says that God showed his love for us by sending his Son to be the atonement for our sins. Because of how much God has loved us, we ought to love one another. When we love one another, God remains in us and his love is perfected in us.
There’s a lot of empty space with people making empty claims about God and Jesus and life and truth, but those quite frankly don’t add up, they sound good, but they’re hollow like this wall, and they can’t support the weight of your life, and if you try to anchor yourself to it, you’ll fall.
This document discusses how Jesus Christ serves as our advocate and the propitiation for our sins. It notes that if we sin, we have an advocate in Jesus, who turned God's righteous anger into favor through his sacrifice. It emphasizes the importance of keeping God's commandments and walking as Jesus walked in order to know that we abide in him.
The Real Deal: The DIY Fake Jesus FilterCompassChurch
If you try to get me to get excited about a Jesus who went 90% of the way, that’s a crappy Jesus. If the Jesus you’re showing me did not completely cover my sin, so that my whole life is now lived in gratitude toward him, then you’ve got a FAKE JESUS.
People will say, "why does God even allow us to disobey him in the first place? Wouldn’t the world be so much better if he didn’t?" But at the same time, it is an opportunity for him to show His redemptive power, which is more than He could have done if we never needed to be rescued in the first place.
1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.
Civility: They’re Your New Clothes, So Wear Them Well!
1.
2. Civility is the art of upholding human dignity even in
the face of sharp disagreement with others.
3. I’m a great sinner, but Christ is a great Savior.
4. Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved,
compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness,
and patience, bearing with one another and, if one
has a complaint against another, forgiving each
other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must
forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds
everything together in perfect harmony. And let the
peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed
5. you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the
word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and
admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with
thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever
you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name
of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father
through him.
- Colossians 3:12-17
9. When I ask questions, I:
1) Learn things
2) Show kindness, humility, meekness and patience
10. When I ask questions, I:
1) Learn things
2) Show kindness, humility, meekness and patience
3) Gain an ally
11. If we get the Gospel right, everything else we
can figure out.
12. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching
and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with
thankfulness in your hearts to God.
- v. 16
