AWESOME 3 - FIGHTING FOR AN AWESOME FRIENDSHIP - PS JOSEFINA GUTIERREZ - 630P...Faithworks Christian Church
This document discusses the importance of having awesome friends and outlines six rules for great friendship. It argues that friends are important for spiritual growth, emotional support, better health, social enjoyment, and reaching goals. Awesome friends invest time in each other, earn trust through reliability and loyalty, listen with empathy, accept each other's flaws, celebrate wins and share losses together, and bring out the best in each other. The conclusion encourages finding a few really good friends through church community and stresses that our best friend is Jesus Christ.The danger of easy believe-ism
The document discusses several forms of "easy believe-ism" or false doctrines that are contrary to biblical teachings. It asserts that salvation requires more than just believing in Jesus or saying a "sinners prayer" - it requires hearing and believing the gospel, repenting of sins, confessing faith in Christ, being baptized, and faithfully living for Jesus. True salvation comes from obeying God's word, not holding beliefs that only certain people can be saved or that thoughts and works do not matter.
Romans 3 22 outline 09 12 10
This passage discusses God's righteousness that is available through faith in Jesus Christ for all believers. It states that God's righteousness is a gift that is placed upon believers, covering them and allowing God to see no sin. Faith is the means by which one obtains this righteousness, which involves believing and trusting in Jesus Christ. The righteousness is provided for all who believe, as there is no distinction - both Jews and Gentiles can receive it, as all people are sinners in need of salvation.
Admonish
The document discusses letting the word of Christ dwell within us and admonishing one another. It notes that we should not just listen to God's word but do what it says. It warns of spiritual dangers like being lukewarm, hypocritical, abusing grace, or having a seared conscience. The goal is for God's word to transform us and for us to humbly and openly seek his perspective from scripture.
Not Condemned
This document provides an overview and analysis of key themes in Romans chapter 8. It discusses:
1) The power of the word "therefore" in introducing important conclusions and implications.
2) The principle of "now no condemnation" for those who are in Christ Jesus. Believers have passed from death to life and are no longer under law but grace.
3) The pleasure and security of being "in Christ Jesus", which is described as potent, not provisional, and precious. Romans 8 emphasizes that nothing can separate believers from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus.
God comforts us in tribulation
The document discusses how God comforts believers during times of tribulation based on passages from 2 Corinthians and the Book of Mormon. It notes that Paul and others were able to avoid despair despite persecution because of their faith in Christ. It also draws similarities between the tribulations of Paul and Joseph Smith. Finally, it explains that grace plays a key role in overcoming tribulation by making one humble and enabling one to rely on Christ's atonement to bear trials.
Faith Walk
Faith requires conviction, commitment, and persevering through challenges and conflicts. True faith is demonstrated through both dramatic moments and in living righteously during ordinary daily life. One must face "defining moments" of faith through coming to belief in God, dedicating one's life to Him, enduring hardships, and maintaining faith even in calm periods.

3 secrets of_a_life_well_lived

If we fulfill these secrets, we will receive a crown and not have to fear death because Christ conquered it through the gospel.

Learning to Lean on Jesus
Paul warns Christians against those who say circumcision is necessary for salvation. He emphasizes that true circumcision and worship of God comes through faith in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, not human effort to please God through works. Paul contrasts his own past religious credentials and efforts to obey the law with faultless perfection against knowing Christ and relying on what He has done. Living by faith means trusting in God's acceptance of us, rather than trying to earn His favor through good works or spiritual disciplines. Those who focus on pleasing God through their own efforts are not worshiping in spirit and truth, but are exalting themselves, just as the Pharisee did.
Surrender
The passage discusses Paul's view that everything else is worthless compared to knowing Christ. Paul considered his own righteousness through obeying the law as garbage, so that he could gain Christ and be made righteous through faith. He wants to know Christ's power in suffering and death so that he can experience resurrection. Righteousness depends on faith in Christ, not works of the law. Paul surrendered his will and effort by humbly accepting Christ's righteousness. A righteousness of surrender and dependence on what Jesus has done through trusting in him.

The early church had great unity in worshipping and serving God together as one body with Christ as the head.
Here Is Your Sign Go Forward
This document provides encouragement to go forward in faith against evil, with zeal, in gratitude, to influence others, and to realize God's promises. Key points include:
1) We must go forward in faith, as without faith it is impossible to please God.
2) Go forward against evil by applying God's grace and living righteous lives through Christ.
3) Go forward with zeal, serving the Lord enthusiastically as new creations in Christ.
4) Go forward in gratitude, remembering to thank God for his goodness even in tough times.
5) Go forward to influence others through encouraging acts like Paul did while in bonds.
Becoming An Excellent Church
This document outlines six areas that a church should strive to excel in based on Paul's teachings in 2 Corinthians 8-9: faith, speech, knowledge, earnestness, love, and giving. It provides biblical support for why churches should focus on excelling in each of these areas, such as proclaiming the gospel (speech), being lifelong students of the Bible (knowledge), showing diligence for the church (earnestness), demonstrating love for one another, and being generous givers. The overall goal is for churches to become excellent in these six dimensions of church life.
1 Secret
This document discusses how to find happiness through obedience to God. It notes that true happiness comes from having our needs met through Christ rather than material things. It encourages obeying God's commands to trust in Him, be content with what you have, and choose happiness through rejoicing, praying, and giving thanks in all circumstances. Finding happiness is presented as resulting from beginning a new life in Christ through hearing, believing, repenting of sins, confessing faith, and being baptized.
Paul's heart
Paul was a faithful example who was disciplined, motivated others, was optimistic yet knew the source of his power came from God. He was satisfied with what he had, persistent in teaching God's word, and ultimately happy. The document encourages emulating Paul's heart and choosing to follow Christ's truth in order to be righteous and find happiness.

Because He lives
This document discusses how Jesus's sacrifice allows believers to have full assurance in God. It notes that animal sacrifices under the old law could not truly take away sins, but Jesus's single sacrifice was sufficient. Through faith in Christ, believers no longer have their sins held against them but can boldly approach God. The document encourages Christians to prepare for Jesus's return by assembling together, stirring up love and good works, and obeying the gospel through faith, repentance, confession, baptism and faithfulness.

Walking In The Light

The document encourages walking with God by agreeing with Him, walking uprightly and worthily in humility and love. It concludes by urging the reader to follow Jesus as the light of the world, not let Satan hinder them, and to hear, believe, repent of sins, confess Jesus, and be baptized into Christ.

It then provides biblical references showing that people should seek Jesus with diligence and their whole heart. It notes Jesus pre-existed, was prophesied about, and was proven to have come as the leader and savior. The document concludes that Jesus can be found through studying scripture and coming to him, and that his message should be taught to all so they can be saved.
Living Upright In An Upside Down World

The truth is like a big mac!
The document compares the truth of God to a Big Mac hamburger in three ways:
1) You can only find the truth in the church, just as you can only find a Big Mac at McDonald's.
2) The truth has the right ingredients (no compromises) according to the Bible, just as a Big Mac has the standard ingredients.
3) Some people do not like the truth any more than some do not like Big Macs, but finding and accepting the truth, like eating a Big Mac, satisfies and provides sustenance for life.
THIS WORLD HAS NOTHING FOR ME
This document discusses the major decision of faith and lessons from Moses' example of faith. It summarizes that Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, chose to suffer affliction with God's people over Egypt's pleasures, and looked to the heavenly reward. By faith, Moses stood for justice, thought God would use him to deliver Israel, forsook Egypt without fearing the king's wrath, and endured invisible to his heavenly Father. The document encourages walking by faith like Moses, knowing this world offers nothing but Jesus does.
New Testament Commands 9
This document lists 177 New Testament commands from the books of Luke and John. Some of the commands include instructions to pray regularly, ask God for daily provision and forgiveness, give to those in need, beware of hypocrisy and covetousness, and remember God's commands to love others.

It defines spirituality as a state where the soul is vitalized by the Holy Spirit and committed to religious values. True spirituality involves continual renewal and growth in knowledge of God through Bible study and prayer.

The conclusion encourages readers to commit to becoming more spiritual by offering spiritual sacrifices to God.
David's Many Giants
- The document discusses various lessons that can be learned from the life of King David, including his victory over Goliath as a young shepherd, sparing Saul's life when he had the chance to take revenge, listening to Abigail's wisdom to not kill Nabal in anger, and admitting his sin of adultery with Bathsheba after Nathan confronted him.
- It encourages learning from both David's triumphs and mistakes, recognizing and destroying the "giants" of fear, anger, lust, and revenge in our own lives, and being ready to face threats by putting on God's armor and using his word.

The document outlines three things we should do in our interactions: 1) be quick to listen and get all the facts before making decisions, 2) be slow to speak and think carefully before speaking to avoid harm, and 3) be slow to wrath since anger does not produce righteousness. Following these will help believers develop strong relationships through proper communication and behavior that honors God.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
