Holiness
The document discusses the concept of holiness in religion. It explains that God created things to be holy, sacred, and set apart. Examples of dividing and separating holy things included light from darkness, the Sabbath from other days, and different areas of the Tabernacle with decreasing levels of holiness. The document then discusses the priesthood of believers in Christianity and the duties of priests, which included tending lamps, daily offerings, praising God, and preaching the gospel.
Dunked: Change
1. In the 1500s, radical reformers sought to reinstitute the teachings of the New Testament and not just reform the Catholic Church. This included groups like the Anabaptists in Zurich, Switzerland who practiced adult baptism.
2. These radical reformers faced severe persecution for their beliefs and many, like Hubmaier and his wife, were martyred for their faith.
3. The document discusses the need for repentance from sin and turning to God, as well as having faith in Jesus Christ in order to receive salvation. It includes several Bible verses on these topics.
29th th march 2016 – The book of 2 Thessalonians
1) The book of 2 Thessalonians was written by the apostle Paul to the church in Thessalonica around AD 50-52 to address some misconceptions about the Day of the Lord and to comfort the church that was being persecuted.
2) Paul encourages the church and prays that God will make them worthy of his calling and fulfill their desires to do good works through faith. He also explains what will happen on the Day of the Lord.
3) The letter teaches that God is just and will punish persecutors while giving relief to the troubled. It also says God chose believers to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and will strengthen and protect believers from evil.
Because of Christ
I. Paul's imprisonment spread the gospel message to both believers and nonbelievers. His willingness to suffer for preaching about Christ encouraged other believers to boldly share their faith.
II. Paul wanted to finish the work of telling others the good news about God's grace, even if it meant hardship. His focus was on proclaiming the gospel.
III. Paul was compelled by God to preach the gospel and wanted to ensure believers understood the core message - that Christ died for sins and was resurrected, according to Scripture. He sought opportunities to share the good news.

Som 06-01 diakonia -- sent for service - biblical definitions
Som 06-01 diakonia -- sent for service - biblical definitionsSouth East Asian Theological Schools, Inc.
This document discusses the biblical concept of diakonia, which refers to service or ministry. It examines the Greek words diakonos, diakonia, and diakoneo, which are commonly translated as "service" or "minister". The document analyzes how these terms are used in various Bible passages, particularly in reference to the early church distributing food and assistance to widows. It explores what functions the men described as diakonos served, and how this was different from the roles of the 12 apostles. The overall purpose seems to be discussing the biblical foundations and meanings of service, ministry and the office of deacon within the early Christian community.Friday evening
This document discusses plural leadership in churches, with elders always mentioned in plural form in the Bible. It notes practical benefits of plural leadership like balancing weaknesses and adding wisdom. It also discusses corporate responsibility of the whole church to address problems, and individual responsibility to listen to God and respond through works of service.
Scripture
The document discusses the nature and purpose of scripture according to the Bible. It states that scripture is given by divine inspiration, sanctioned by Christ, taught by Christ, called the word of God, testifies of Christ, is full and sufficient, is an unerring guide, makes one wise for salvation, is profitable for doctrine and practice, and is intended for instruction and the use of all people. The scriptures are described as pure, true, perfect, precious, quick and powerful. Nothing is to be added to or taken away from scripture, and it is meant for regenerating, quickening, illuminating, and converting souls.

5th Sunday Challenge: Giving to Others
This document discusses the importance of giving to others. It cites passages from the Bible emphasizing charity and giving, including 1 Corinthians 13 which says that though one may have faith or give all their possessions, without charity it means nothing. The document encourages recognizing the importance of assisting others and building community through giving. It provides examples from 2 Corinthians of churches that gave generously despite their poverty and suffering. The overall message is that Christians should follow Christ's example of selfless giving.
Tithing in nt_power_points
The document discusses tithing in the New Testament. It examines passages that directly reference tithing, including Matthew 23:23, Luke 18:9-14, and Hebrews 7:1-10. For each passage, the document analyzes the context and intent, and concludes that none of these passages command tithing for Christians or have tithing as their primary subject. The document finds that while tithing is mentioned in some contexts, these passages alone do not provide a basis for requiring tithing under the New Covenant.
03 holy spirit
The Holy Spirit is the least understood person of the Godhead. While the Bible provides ample information about the work of the Spirit, it says little about His nature. The Holy Spirit focuses our attention on Christ and plays a subordinate role to the Father and Son. As Jesus' representative, the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, guides us to Christ, and transforms us through spiritual rebirth. We depend on the Holy Spirit constantly for teaching, reminding, and abiding with us as our helper.

Ha38 06142015 never a reason to leave the word of god
1. The document discusses how a growing church faces problems but must prioritize spreading the word of God. It outlines how the early church in Acts 6 addressed complaints by having leaders appoint additional helpers so the apostles could focus on prayer and preaching.
2. Elders, preachers, and deacons all have important roles to play, with elders overseeing prayer and the ministry of God's word as shepherds, and deacons serving practical needs so the word can spread.
3. When the early church properly addressed needs and refocused on preaching, the number of disciples multiplied greatly and the word of God spread further. The key is never leaving preaching the word to do things our
Acts 2_42-47 Attaining Maturity
The document describes how the early believers in Acts devoted themselves to fellowship, worship, and the apostles' teachings. They met daily in the temple and each other's homes. As a result, the Lord added to their numbers daily as more were saved. The key was their continual dedication to these spiritual disciplines, which allowed the Holy Spirit to work and the church to grow numerically.
A new hope and purpose
What changed Peter from a cowardly traitor to a brazen preacher of Christ? What made the first Christians willing to sell their possessions so that no one lacked the necessities of life? It was the resurrection of Jesus and the Holy Spirit! What did the resurrection do for you?
The church god's holy priesthood
The document discusses the concept of believers being a royal priesthood based on passages from the Bible. It notes that believers have been made kings and priests by God and are called to offer up spiritual sacrifices as living stones in God's spiritual house. As God's chosen people, believers have priestly privilege in being redeemed and purified by Christ, priestly access to God through the blood of Christ and the Holy Spirit, and a priestly function to show God's praises and declare their fellowship with God and Christ. The overall message is that all believers have the highest honor, calling, and work as priests of God.
The Feasts of the Lord, Yom Kipur

Oct 23 2016 - Sunday service - Overcoming Wrong Thinking
The document discusses the importance of right thinking and how to overcome wrong thinking. It states that right thinking is guided by the Word of God and taking every thought captive to obey Christ. It provides several Bible verses emphasizing controlling the mind with the Spirit instead of sinful desires in order to have life, peace and freedom from evil. The document encourages setting the mind to gain understanding from God, being careful what media and things are engaged with, not giving up when falling into wrong thinking, and being freed by Jesus from mental oppressions.
LTP Who can prophesy Feb 03, 2016 2 3
The document discusses that every Christian believer can prophesy using the gift of prophecy given by the Holy Spirit. It provides biblical evidence from both the Old and New Testaments showing that prophecy is not just for certain people, but that God desires for all people to prophesy. When the Holy Spirit is poured out upon someone, as happened at Pentecost, they receive the ability to prophesy as the Spirit gives them utterance.
The Centrality Of The שְׁמַע
The document discusses the centrality of the Shema prayer in Judaism. It contrasts the monotheistic concepts in the Shema with pagan beliefs in polytheism and worship of celestial bodies. It also discusses how Christianity presented a threat during its early period by rejecting the requirement of circumcision and proposing the concept of circumcision of the heart instead of the physical ritual. The document emphasizes that true faith requires both loving God with heart and soul, as well as serving Him through actions and observance of commandments.
Eyes That See From God's Perspective
God sees all things perfectly with his divine vision. Isaiah had a vision of God on his throne surrounded by angels calling him holy. This vision led Isaiah to feel condemned but also to volunteer to serve God. Jesus referred to this story as a way to explain that some will see but not perceive the kingdom of God. Other passages discuss looking to God for protection, looking to Jesus to lift us up, looking within to check our spiritual well-being, and looking to serve others rather than just ourselves. Maintaining a godly vision of the future is important for persevering, as is keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus.
Christ’s Redemptive Hidden Life
This document contains notes from a confirmation class on Christ's hidden life from age 12 to 30. It discusses how Jesus obeyed his parents and lived a normal life in Nazareth as a carpenter. It calls all Christians to holiness through baptism and living according to God's will with the help of grace. It provides the example of saint Padre Pio in living a holy life oriented toward God. The document encourages students to reflect on how their own experiences as teenagers relate to Jesus' life.

Menopause andropause
This document discusses menopause and andropause (the male equivalent). It defines menopause as when a woman's monthly menstrual cycle ends permanently, usually occurring around age 50.

Melatonin
Melatonin is a hormone produced in the body that regulates sleep cycles. It is produced in the pineal gland and levels rise at night in response to darkness. As a supplement, melatonin is used to treat sleep disorders like jet lag or shift work disorder by helping to realign the body's circadian rhythm. It may also help with sleep quality, headaches, and depression. While generally safe at low doses, melatonin can cause side effects like drowsiness if taken too close to bedtime or in high amounts.

Melatonin
Melatonin Transcription:
Melatonin controls the circadian rhythm as well as the deep stages of sleep.
Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland and declines significantly when a person reaches age 40.
Melatonin levels peak at night and decrease throughout the day with the help of natural sunlight.
The essential amino acid (tryptophan) from which melatonin is derived helps to regulate your circadian sleep rhythm.
Melatonin is considered a super antioxidant due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Melatonin also works with cholecystokinin in the digestive tract to decrease the likelihood and severity of many symptoms associated with gastric ulcers and colitis.
Your melatonin levels will naturally decrease with age. This is why some older people will sleep less even though they still need the same amount of sleep.
Cortisol (the stress hormone) is partially regulated by melatonin.
Culprits of Low Melatonin Levels:
Alcohol
Vitamin B12
Caffeine
NSAID anti-inflammatory medication
Beta-blocker medication
Glucocorticoid medication
Cigarettes
Antidepressants
Frequent stress
Melatonin is a natural substance that should be taken at night. It is not addictive or habit forming.

It then discusses how Jesus taught his disciples that it was necessary for him to suffer and rise from the dead on the third day according to scripture. Finally, it states that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.
03 Spiritual Gifts Sef Eng
This document discusses spiritual gifts and how to identify real gifts from counterfeits according to the Bible. It outlines four lists of spiritual gifts from Paul's writings and explains that gifts are given by the Holy Spirit to instruct and build the church.

Make Jesus Known (Part 1) Sermon Handout
Here are the notes from my sermon on July 8, 2018. We looked at why we should make Jesus known and how we can do that. In the last part of the sermon, I focused on how we can share our testimony.
Mission of the 12 disciples pt1
The document summarizes the mission that Jesus gave to the 12 disciples when he first sent them out to preach. They were instructed to focus on the lost sheep of Israel and preach that the kingdom of heaven was at hand. They were given power to perform healings and exorcisms. Later, after Jesus' resurrection, the disciples continued preaching to wider audiences, including Gentiles. The document discusses the requirements for salvation during the tribulation period, noting it will involve both faith and works through obedience to God's commandments.

The Spiritual Gift Of Apostleship
The document discusses the spiritual gift of apostleship. It provides biblical references that describe the apostles' roles and establishes criteria for identifying apostleship, such as establishing new ministries/churches and overseeing other groups. However, it notes some issues with directly applying the original apostles' experiences today. Instead, it offers a modernized list of traits associated with apostleship, such as being culturally sensitive when ministering across communities/countries and demonstrating vision for the church's mission. Readers are asked to reflect on examples from their own lives that align with these traits rather than immediately deciding if this is their spiritual gift. The document closes with a prayer.

The document contains a summary of Jesus' teachings:
1. Sacrificing for Jesus is worth it, as those who give up everything for him and the gospel will receive rewards both in this life and eternal life.
2. The message of the gospel is bigger than any individual benefits - it involves sacrificing, even to the point of death on the cross.
3. Our response to the gospel should be serving others rather than ourselves. We follow Jesus by denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and becoming servants to all.

Baptism
There are seven types of baptism mentioned in the Bible:
1) Baptism unto Moses where the Israelites passed through the Red Sea
2) John the Baptist's baptism of repentance
3) Baptism of suffering, referring to Jesus' death on the cross
4) Peter's baptism for the nation of Israel for forgiveness of sins
5) Gentile baptism through faith and receiving the Holy Spirit
6) Baptism of the Holy Spirit which unites all believers into one body
7) Baptism of fire, referring to God's final judgment through fire
However, there is ultimately only one true baptism, which is a spiritual identification with Christ's death and resurrection.

07 July 21, 2013 1 Thessalonians 2;7 12, Follow-up & The Care Of New ChristiansFirst Baptist Church Jackson
The document summarizes Paul's teaching in 1 Thessalonians 2:7-12 about how Christians should care for and disciple new believers. Paul uses the metaphors of a mother and father to illustrate the kind of spiritual care that is needed. As a mother tenderly cares for her children, mentors should show gentleness, intimate affection, and sacrificial love towards new Christians. They should impart not just the gospel message but their own lives as well. The goal is for new believers to walk worthily before God and become disciple-makers themselves.The Spiritual Gift Of Prophet
This document discusses the spiritual gift of prophecy. It begins with an opening prayer asking God to shed light on spiritual gifts. It then provides several Bible passages about prophecy and prophets. The lesson notes that prophecy in the New Testament refers to effectively communicating God's message or giving a message received from God, rather than only predicting the future. It lists characteristics of those with the gift of prophecy, such as exposing sin, speaking timely words from God, and warning of judgment. It closes with a prayer of thanks.

Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.

Barriers of worship.ppt Break the Barriers to Worship

The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docx
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.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
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).
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.

THE IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The subject of spiritualism fundamentally relates to two specific tenets, independent yet closely associated as one—awareness and consciousness.
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.
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.
