Jesus teaches that worrying is sinful and steals one's joy and testimony. He explains that worry shows a lack of faith in God as provider, as birds and flowers live without worry. While planning for the future is good, worrying robs today of its blessings. Seeking God's kingdom and righteousness first ensures all needs will be met, as opposed to living like heathens who anxiously pursue material things. Worrying also prevents effectiveness today and tomorrow. Believers are called to trust God daily and not burden themselves with tomorrow's troubles.
1. Suffering is to be expected as a disciple of Christ, as he was persecuted. Disciples should expect to be treated the same as their teacher.
2. God will bring all things to light, so disciples should not fear revealing the truth, even when opposed secretly.
3. Disciples should only fear God, not those who can kill the body, as God controls both body and soul.
Jesus teaches about giving and the proper perspective on money and wealth. He instructs that one should not store up treasures on earth that can be destroyed or stolen, but instead should store treasures in heaven through giving generously. Having an earthly focus on money and possessions shows that it has become a false god that one serves rather than God. True disciples cannot serve both God and wealth.

Jesus addresses serious issues around adultery, divorce, and oaths. He reveals that adultery starts with lustful thoughts and warns people to avoid tempting situations. Regarding divorce, Jesus says it is only permitted for unchastity, and those who remarry commit adultery. On oaths, Jesus instructs to simply say "yes" or "no" and avoid unnecessary swearing to uphold integrity. The overall message is to guard one's heart and mind, preserve marriages at all costs, and speak truthfully without oaths.
This document discusses finding one's purpose and passion in life. It states that everyone has gifts given by God, and those gifts can change over different stages of life. To multiply your gifts, you need to take action with strategy and accountability. Having a fear of the Lord means having reverence for God and allowing that passion to fuel your gifts. The document encourages following your passion to soar high and find your destiny.
The document discusses the importance of trusting fully in God rather than relying on one's own understanding. It provides several Bible verses exhorting believers to trust in God with all their heart and seek his will. When people trust God, he directs their paths and keeps them safe. In contrast, depending on one's own wisdom is dangerous. The document encourages reading God's word to understand his will, praying for guidance, sacrificing one's will to God's, and trusting that he will answer and direct believers' paths.
This document discusses ways to avoid anxiety by focusing on God rather than worldly concerns. It notes that anxiety stems from seeking security in the world and focusing on material comforts rather than God's kingdom. However, God cares for his creation, like the birds and flowers, and will provide for his people. The recommended cure for anxiety is to make seeking God's kingdom and righteousness the primary goal in life, trusting that God will then provide earthly necessities. Living this way and focusing on each day brings peace instead of worrying about tomorrow.

Jesus heals two blind men and a mute man possessed by a demon. When the blind men cry out to Jesus as "Son of David," and affirm their belief that he can heal them, Jesus touches their eyes and restores their sight. A mute man is then brought to Jesus, and after casting out the demon, the man regains his ability to speak, astonishing the crowds. The Pharisees attribute Jesus' power to Satan.
Dear sisters and brothers,
Do you trust your God? Accumulating... and accumulating and setting aside so many things for the far distant future and yet you have no joy is a sign of distrust.
Fr. Cielo
Jesus teaches his followers not to worry and to instead focus on God's kingdom. He tells them not to store up treasures on earth that can be destroyed, but to accumulate heavenly treasures. While people worry about basic needs, God takes care of the birds and flowers - how much more will he provide for people. Jesus advises pursuing God's kingdom first before worrying about tomorrow or worldly concerns.
This document discusses why believers must judge according to the Bible. It explains that believers are entrusted with handling the precious truths of God's word. As such, they must guard these truths carefully. The reason believers must judge is for effective ministry. Jesus always spoke to individuals according to their unique spiritual needs and conditions. Wise Christians first assess a person's heart before sharing the gospel to avoid cheapening its message. The takeaway is that believers carry a precious message and should discern who is ready to receive it before witnessing.
2 corinthians 4.7-18 suffering & kingdom advancement cbt week 48 second bapti...Lazarou Richard
This document provides information about an upcoming Bible study class and other events at a church. The Bible study class will take place on November 30, 2019 and discuss the topics of suffering and kingdom advancement based on 2 Corinthians 4:7-18. The document also lists upcoming performances of a Christmas puppet show, the opening of a Christmas train village, a cookie bagging event to thank teachers, and needs for toy and food donations for a charity. It concludes with birthdays being celebrated in December.
The document discusses Jesus' teachings from Matthew 6:25-34 about not worrying and instead focusing on living for God each day. It provides the "life is what you do today" as a lifeline and encourages asking God how to please Him daily. Doing so will allow one to prioritize life according to God's will, accomplish His calling, and serve Him today rather than worrying about the past or future.
This document discusses the difference between useless information and practical wisdom. It examines a passage from James that talks about obtaining wisdom from God. The passage can be divided into two parts: the first addresses wisdom from God, defining it as sound judgment for daily living that comes from fearing God. The second part discusses the consequences of doubting God's intentions in imparting wisdom - those who doubt are unstable, like waves tossed about. To receive wisdom, one must ask God in faith without doubting, as doubting questions God's good character and promises.
Paul told Timothy that God did not give us a spirit of fear. Why are Christians so fearful. The Bible gives us ample passages to not fear persecutors, skeptics and especially do not fear death! When we have conquered these three fears, nothing can stop us!
The document discusses Jesus' commands on judging from Matthew 7:1-5. It provides context for understanding these verses. Jesus is saying that Christians should discern between right and wrong but should not condemn others or act as judges. Those who harshly condemn others will receive similar judgment. Christians are called to love unconditionally, though they need not approve of all actions. Jesus warns against hypocrisy and focusing on minor faults in others while ignoring larger faults in oneself. Christians should examine themselves before examining others and understand others' struggles with compassion.
Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits and to heal diseases. These twelve were called apostles. Jesus gave them specific instructions for their mission, telling them to only go to Israel and preach that the kingdom of heaven was at hand. They were not to acquire possessions and were to stay in worthy houses. This shows the unique mission of these twelve apostles, which differs from the Great Commission given later to spread the gospel to all nations. Therefore, there are good arguments that there are no apostles in the modern sense, as their role was unique and tied to the founding of the early church.
Jesus traveled through cities and villages teaching, preaching the gospel, and healing people. He saw the crowds as like sheep without a shepherd and felt compassion for them. Jesus told his disciples that the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few, and instructed them to pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out more workers.
Jesus addresses serious issues around adultery, divorce, and oaths. He reveals that adultery starts with lustful thoughts and warns people to avoid tempting situations. Regarding divorce, Jesus says it is only permitted for unchastity, and those who remarry commit adultery. On oaths, Jesus instructs to simply say "yes" or "no" and avoid unnecessary swearing to uphold integrity.

1) A woman who had been suffering from bleeding for 12 years believed that if she touched Jesus' cloak she would be healed. When she did, her bleeding stopped.
2) Jesus asked who touched him, and the woman admitted what she had done. Jesus said her faith had healed her and told her to go in peace.
3) This story and that of Jairus' daughter illustrate that when others are healed through faith, it can strengthen our own faith and bring us hope in difficult times.
This document discusses three lessons from Matthew 9:18-26: humility, hope, and healing. It describes how the synagogue ruler Jairus humbly asked Jesus for help despite his high social standing. It also explains how the woman's touching of Jesus' robe delayed healing but strengthened Jairus' faith. Finally, it recounts how Jesus dispelled the scoffing crowd and raised the dead girl, blessing Jairus' persistent faith.
Jesus provides four illustrations of his ministry's purpose on Earth: (1) as a physician to heal the sick, referring to calling sinners, not the righteous; (2) as the bridegroom whose presence brings joy rather than fasting; (3) as providing new unshrunk cloth rather than patching old garments; and (4) as filling new wineskins rather than bursting old ones with new wine. The overall message is that Jesus came to bring spiritual healing and new life, not just fix the old.
Jesus heals a paralyzed man brought to him by four friends. When Jesus sees their faith, he tells the man his sins are forgiven. Religious leaders object, but Jesus emphasizes that forgiving sins is most important. Jesus then heals the man's paralysis to prove he has authority to forgive sins.

The First Southern Baptist Church of North Hollywood is planning a four-Sunday "April Mini-Revival" from April 8-29. They encourage members to pray, attend services, invite others, worship, and praise God. The revival aims to spur spiritual awakening in the church based on 2 Chronicles 7:14. Sunday services will include regular morning preachers and guest preacher Hughlen Johnson in the evenings.
Jesus heals two demon-possessed men in the country of the Gadarenes. Satan had robbed the men of their sanity and self-control, leaving them living in tombs and violently threatening others. When Jesus encounters the men, he casts the demons out of them. This contrasts what Satan does to people versus what society and Jesus can do. While society isolates and restrains, Jesus transforms people and values them over property or animals. The demons recognize Jesus' deity and power, knowing he has come to judge them. The healing shows Jesus helps everyone, not just Jews.
The disciples were hiding behind locked doors on the evening of Jesus' resurrection out of fear of the Jewish leaders. Jesus suddenly appeared among them and said "Peace be with you." He showed them his hands and side to prove he had been resurrected. The disciples were overjoyed to see Jesus alive again. His resurrection proved that he had conquered sin and death, and through faith in him believers can have eternal life.
This document summarizes a passage from Matthew 8:23-27 where Jesus calms a storm after his disciples wake him up, frightened. It notes that: 1) Jesus was asleep during the storm, showing he was not concerned, while his disciples followed him; 2) When the disciples woke Jesus in fear, he rebuked them for their lack of faith; 3) Jesus then calmed the storm with a command, demonstrating his power over nature and as the one in control. The key message is that believers should trust Jesus during life's storms because he is sovereign over all things.

This document discusses the cost of discipleship according to Jesus. It provides three key costs: 1) The cost to your home, as Jesus had no home and followers must be willing to leave their homes to follow him. 2) The cost to potential followers, as Jesus warns one man that following him may require hardship like Jesus experienced. 3) The cost to your family, as Jesus tells a man that he must be willing to let his deceased father be buried without him in order to follow Jesus fully. Overall, the document examines Jesus' teachings on how discipleship requires putting him before all else, including one's family, comforts, and possessions.
This document discusses a story from Matthew 8:14-17 where Jesus heals Peter's mother-in-law of a fever. It notes that while this may seem a minor miracle, it was significant because women had low status yet Jesus cared for her needs. When she was healed, many demon-possessed and ill people came to Jesus for healing, fulfilling a prophecy that he would bear our sicknesses. The document emphasizes that Jesus fulfilled this prophecy through his earthly ministry, not just through his death on the cross.

The passage describes Jesus healing the servant of a Roman centurion from a distance. It says:
1) A centurion approached Jesus, asking him to heal his paralyzed servant. Though a Gentile soldier, the centurion demonstrated great faith in Jesus.
2) When Jesus offered to come to the centurion's home, the centurion insisted that Jesus only need say the word to heal him. The centurion understood Jesus' authority.
3) Impressed by the centurion's faith, Jesus healed the servant from a distance immediately, as the centurion believed. It was one of the first times Jesus referred to hell. The passage emphasizes that Jesus' grace is for all people.
- Jesus heals a leper by touching him, taking on himself the man's impurity and cleansing him of leprosy as a sign of taking on humanity's sin.
- The healing shows Jesus' willingness to save the lost and take upon himself humanity's diseases and sins.
- Jesus tells the man to see the priests as required by law as testimony to his healing, though the man disobeys and spreads the word anyway.
- Jesus finishes teaching from the Sermon on the Mount by addressing how Christians should prepare for God's judgement. He explains that merely claiming to follow God but not obeying His will is insufficient, and on judgement day God will reject those who knew His words but did not act on them.
- Jesus compares Christians to builders, one who builds his house on a solid rock foundation by both hearing and obeying God's words, and one who builds on sand by only hearing but not acting on God's words. When troubles come, only the house built on the rock remains standing.
- True faith is demonstrated through obedience to God's word, not just words or works. Christians must hear God's words and do them

This sermon discusses judging others based on Matthew 7:13-20. It notes there are two routes to eternity - the wide path that leads to destruction, and the narrow path that leads to life through Jesus. False prophets try to deceive people and lead them astray.
