Today's church should be a place to make disciples, so the longer you study in the church, you should have affinity, peace, kindness, and goodness of Jesus Christ. However, the church congregation we see nowadays is very good at criticizing and judging people with the words of the Bible, but if you discuss the truth with him, they disdain to discuss it with you, so what is wrong with the church? , Is there any room for redemption? This is where the chapter discusses
Have a good reputation, Many people, few people, with their fruits, become good franktsao4
When the church chooses a deacon, it often depends on the person’s reputation. Usually as long as no one speaks badly about him, he can probably pass the test. But what is a good reputation? What causes his good reputation? Even he has a bad reputation, should we give him the same opportunity? This also involves the purpose of the church, is like running a social club where everyone is happy to be together, or to make disciple, which God can use The Church of the Good Soldiers
"Sin Shall not Have Dominion Over You"
9 Questions posed to a Presbyterian minister Charles Fitch.
1. Do you believe that the Bible teaches men are perfect and holy in this life?
2. What cases, or characters, were without sin in Bible history except Christ?
3. Of all the martyrs whose memoirs have come down to us how many do you find perfect?
4. In modern times have not the best of men evidently been sinful, more or less, and have they not thought themselves to be so?
5. In the circle of your acquaintance, have those who have claimed perfection generally turned out as well as those who feared always?
6. Are those around you who claim this more meekly and heavenly than others?
7. Do not perfection people very frequently run into some palpable inconsistencies?
8. Do you avow the belief that you are generally without sin in thought, desire, word, deed or defect?
9. Have you made up your mind publicly to teach and defend the position that there are men among us who are without sin?

Hebrews 4:11-13 God's Word: Produces faith, cleanses us, brings reconciliation, tells us how to be saved, blesses us, answers life's questions, solves life's problems, helps us weather life's storms, tells us what is right and wrong, produces fruit in our lives, will judge us.
The question, “Does life have meaning and purpose” is as old as time. The culture we live in does not always help us live a good life. Christians believe that their faith makes sense and that it provides a path towards a meaningful life even if we have to struggle to understand how God wants us to live. We that our faith is trustworthy. It is the truth that gives meaning to life.
If you want to study the word of God, but don't quite know where to start, this study will help you initiate a strong love and understanding for God's word. You'll be introduced to a number of practical methods, along with explanations of how God's word is revealed through the three

https://birminghamchurch.org.uk - Lesson by Roger Frimpong. God is love and God is holy. When a loving God meets sinful humans this love becomes grace. When a holy God meets sinful humans it becomes wrath. God saves us from his holy wrath through Jesus Christ.
https://birminghamchurch.org.uk - Sermon by Roger Frimpong entitled "Do Your Best" based on 2 Timothy calling us to not be ashamed of the Word of truth and to correctly handle the word of truth.
The purposes of a person's heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out. (Proverbs 20:5) By asking meaningful questions about a passage of scripture we can help each other to have the 'aha-moments' that allow us to build faith and deep convictions.
http://birminghamchurch.org.uk/sermons/2018/05/02/unity-matters/
This lesson on unity forms part of the Church Matters series and was taught by Forest Versele on 2nd May 2018 at the Birmingham International Church of Christ in Handsworth.
The Birmingham Church of Christ is an international gospel-centered and gospel-spreading congregation consisting of verious ministries throughout the West Midlands.
http://www.birminghamchurch.org.uk - This is a brief overview about the New Testament teachings on the Holy Spirit and the Church, the fellowship of believers.
http://www.birminghamchurch.org.uk - After preaching about the cross, Peter calls his hearers to repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38). This study helps establish the link between Christ’s sacrifice and our forgiveness of sins by means of baptism.
Repentance is our awakening to come to our senses and live the way God had always intended for us. It is more than a decision. It is God allowing us to see a new world view (in light of the cross) which always results in the fruit of a turned, changed life.
It's a historical fact that many movements end up becoming monuments over time. This is due to a gradual move away from the initial standards and doctrine. "With each new evidence of deterioration, we lament for a moment, and then become accustomed to it." - Slouching Toward Gomorrah. Contrary, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. His words and truth remain the same. Where am I? Am I become more and more like my Lord and Saviour or do I slowly become comfortable with the way of the world?
http://www.birminghamchurch.org.uk - But where sin increased, grace increased all the more. Romans 5:20 Seeing, naming and confessing my personal sin is vital in order to understand God's truly amazing grace.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

4. • Do you know why you are studying the
particular Scriptures you chose to employ?
• Does your friend know why he/she is studying
these Scriptures?
• Can you crystallize the aim of each GTG study
in words (HINT: Each study usually has a dual
aim to: 1. expose any misconceptions about
“___,” and 2. inspire the seeker to Biblically
pursue “____.”)
• Every scripture you study should help you
achieve one or both of these aims.
• At the end of a particular study, you should
expect God’s Word to achieve both aims.
So What’s Your AIM?

6. Too Graduate from DM or
not????
• Memorize content, book, and chapter
for each GTG set/ get 70% right
• See the personal, heart devotional
benefit
• Use them or lose them; study with
your friends; join in studies with
other’s friends
7. • “Seeking God” and “Word” studies
both represent a “safe” yet
“challenging” approach to beginning a
series of Bible studies with a seeker
• May be used as “pilot” studies to
gauge a seeker’s interest in Bible
study
• Great time to forge a bond via personal
sharing
The Initial Studies
9. • The AIM of this study is to motivate and
equip someone to truly embark upon a
journey to pursue God
• Consider using one or two of these
scriptures and incorporate it into another
study like Word or Discipleship
• Seeking God can also be a hard-line study
to restart someone who has become
tentative in their studies
• What are some MISCONCEPTIONS this
can clear up???
Seeking God Study in GTG
12. • Interpretation: “What did it mean for this
audience to seek the Kingdom “first?”
• Application: “How are you going to make
God’s Kingdom the first priority in your
life?”
• Contemplation: “Why will this decision be
hard initially???
The Wedge: An Application
Matthew 6:33 “But seek first His Kingdom and His
righteousness, and all these things will be given to
you as well.”
15. • Faith comes from hearing the message, and
the message is heard through the word of
Christ (Romans 10:17). Thus, the AIM of
studying the Word of God is to help a
seeker build faith in Jesus.
• Deals with big MISCONCEPTION ...One
must accept the bible as the one true
standard (vs. feelings, experiences, peers’
opinions, or family traditions) by which to
live life if one is to know true salvation from
Jesus.
Word Study in GTG
18. • Interpretation: What
• Application: How
• Contemplation: Why
The Wedge: An Application
Acts 17:10-11“As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and
Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish
synagogue. Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than
those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great
eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul
said was true.”
20. • The Koran, the Book of Mormon, and parts
of the (Hindu) Veda claim divine
inspiration, but none of these books
contains predictive prophecy. Some of the
Bible’s claims:
– The time (Dan. 9), city (Mic. 5:2), and nature (Isa.
7:14) of Christ’s birth were foretold in OT
– Christ’s life, death and resurrection (Isa. 53)
– Destruction of Edom (Obad 1)
– The curse of Babylon (Isa. 13)
– The destruction of Tyre (Ezek. 26) and Ninevah
(Nah 1-3)
– The return of Israel to the land (Isa 11:11)
Word: The Bible is Unique
21. • The Bible deals frankly with the sins of its
characters, even when those sins reflect
badly on God’s chosen people, leaders,
the biblical writers themselves:
– Patriarchs in Gen. 12:11-13; 49:5-7
– King David in 2 Sam. 11-12
– Gospel evangelists own faults and those of the
apostles in Matt. 8:10-26; 26:31-56; Mark 6:52;
8:18; Luke 8:24-25; 9:40-45; John 10:6; 16:32
– The disorder of the church in 1 Cor. 1:11; 15:12:
2 Cor 2:4

Bible Manuscripts
Dramatically, when the Bible manuscripts are compared to other ancient writings, they stand alone as the best-preserved literary works of all antiquity. Remarkably, there are thousands of existing Old Testament manuscripts and fragments copied throughout the Middle East, Mediterranean and European regions that agree phenomenally with each other. 1 In addition, these texts substantially agree with the Septuagint version of the Old Testament, which was translated from Hebrew to Greek some time during the 3rd century BC. 2 The Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered in Israel in the 1940's and 50's, also provide astounding evidence for the reliability of the ancient transmission of the Jewish Scriptures (Old Testament) in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd centuries BC. 3
The manuscript evidence for the "New Testament" is also dramatic, with nearly 25,000 ancient manuscripts discovered and archived so far, at least 5,600 of which are copies and fragments in the original Greek. 4 Some manuscript texts date to the early second and third centuries, with the time between the original autographs and our earliest existing fragment being a remarkably short 40-60 years. 5
Interestingly, this manuscript evidence far surpasses the manuscript reliability of other ancient writings that we trust as authentic every day. Look at these comparisons: Julius Caesar's The Gallic Wars (10 manuscripts remain, with the earliest one dating to 1,000 years after the original autograph); Pliny the Younger's Natural History (7 manuscripts; 750 years elapsed); Thucydides' History (8 manuscripts; 1,300 years elapsed); Herodotus' History (8 manuscripts; 1,350 years elapsed); Plato (7 manuscripts; 1,300 years); and Tacitus' Annals (20 manuscripts; 1,000 years). 6
Renowned Bible scholar F.F. Bruce declares:
There is no body of ancient literature in the world which enjoys such a wealth of good textual attestation as the New Testament. 7
Homer's Iliad, the most renowned book of ancient Greece, is the second best-preserved literary work of all antiquity, with 643 copies of manuscript support discovered to date. In those copies, there are 764 disputed lines of text, as compared to 40 lines in all the New Testament manuscripts. 8 In fact, many people are unaware that there are no surviving manuscripts of any of William Shakespeare's 37 plays (written in the 1600's), and scholars have been forced to fill some gaps in his works. 9 This pales in textual comparison with the over 5,600 copies and fragments of the New Testament in the original Greek that, together, assure us that nothing's been lost. In fact, all of the New Testament except eleven minor verses can be reconstructed outside the Bible from the writings of the early church leaders in the second and third centuries AD. 10
In real terms, the New Testament is easily the best attested ancient writing in terms of the sheer number of documents, the time span between the events and the document, and the variety of documents available to sustain or contradict it. There is nothing in ancient manuscript evidence to match such textual availability and integrity.
