Psalm 84: Longing for the Presence of God
Join us as we continue to dig into the Psalms this summer! This week at The Hill Church, Pastor Jimmy Steele taught out of Psalm 84!
Crying out hallelujah!
Rev. 19:1-6 After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for his judgments are true and just; he has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants." Once more they cried, "Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever." And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who is seated on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!" And from the throne came a voice crying, "Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great." Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderpeals, crying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.
Encouraging words water baptism 4
Water baptism symbolizes death and resurrection with Christ. It represents the burial of the old sinful self and raising to new spiritual life. When a person is baptized, they are baptized into Christ's death and buried with Him by baptism into death, so that they can walk in newness of life, just as Christ was raised. Baptism washes away sins, sanctifies, and justifies the person in Christ. It signifies drawing near to God with a cleansed conscience and washed body. Baptism involves regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit, cleansing the person and making them heirs to eternal life. By baptism, one takes up the challenge to live a godly life separated from their old

A sermon that talks about the importance of spiritual growth.
This presentation teaches that spiritual maturity and growth must be a priority of a Christian.
1 Peter 2f

05 10 23 Worship
The document is a collection of Christian songs, prayers, and creeds that praise God and Jesus. It expresses ideas like God's love for humanity in giving Jesus as an atonement for sin, Jesus redeeming believers, the glory of God, standing up for one's faith, believing in God and Jesus as described in the Apostles' Creed, offering thanks to God, and the fellowship of kindred believers.
Mind over matter
This document discusses how believers can endure suffering and tribulation by relying on the strength and comfort that God provides through Christ. It provides several Bible verses that speak of withstanding troubles through faith in God, even when outwardly afflicted, and finding renewed strength daily through looking to eternal spiritual things rather than temporary earthly troubles. The life and power of Christ lives in believers to help them overcome hardships.
Who are the 144,000
The document discusses the Watchtower doctrine regarding the 144,000. It states that the Watchtower teaches that only 144,000 humans will go to heaven to rule as kings, based on a misunderstanding of Revelation chapters 7 and 14. Most Jehovah's Witnesses believe they will live forever on earth rather than go to heaven. It also explains differences between the lists of the 12 tribes of Israel mentioned in the Bible and those mentioned as being sealed in Revelation 7.
The New_Earth
The document discusses the biblical teachings about the New Earth. It describes the New Earth as a perfect place where righteousness dwells, created by God for the redeemed to live with Him eternally. There will be no more suffering, death, or effects of sin. Several Bible passages are cited that refer to God making a new heaven and new earth (Isaiah 65:17; 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1-4). The New Earth will be similar to the Garden of Eden, with God and the redeemed living together forever in a place where sin has been destroyed and the results of the Great Controversy have ended.
To god be the glory!
Why are we here, what are we to be doing, where are we going? These and many other questions often fill our minds. But there is only one thing that can truly fill our whole being!
Learning from daniel
Daniel shows how to live as a sojourner based on the example of Abraham and other biblical figures. Some key points:
- A sojourner is a foreigner or stranger who sees themselves as temporarily dwelling in a land.
- Daniel exemplified this by separating himself from Babylon's influence and giving God glory.
- Christians are also called to be sojourners as we dwell temporarily on earth and await God's kingdom.
- We should focus on serving God rather than pursuing earthly possessions or pleasures.
A full surrender
The document discusses the need for Christians to fully surrender their lives to God. It notes that God's ways are better than man's or an individual's ways, as God is all-knowing and sees the whole picture. Money is also discussed, with the point that one cannot serve both God and money. To be a true Christian requires fully surrendering control and priorities to God above all else. The conclusion exhorts determining who or what one has been surrendering to in life, and for non-Christians to surrender to God by trusting in Jesus.
11 sabbath gift from eden
This document contains a lesson on Sabbath that answers three questions: why we must keep Sabbath, how we must keep Sabbath, and how Sabbath is related to the end times. It discusses that Sabbath must be kept because of creation, redemption from sin, and sanctification by God. Jesus showed how to keep Sabbath by prioritizing human needs over strict rules. Sabbath will be a point of contention in the end times as it signifies loyalty to God as Creator versus evolutionary beliefs. Keeping Sabbath rejects false theories and remembers that God sanctifies believers.
Deut; Chapter 5 - 11
Moses recounts to the Israelites the laws and commandments that God had given them. He reminds them of their history, including their rebellion in worshipping the golden calf after God delivered the Ten Commandments to them at Mount Sinai. However, God in his mercy had Moses carve two replacement stone tablets. Moses exhorts the Israelites to fear and obey God by keeping his commandments for their own good, as God had brought them out of Egypt and given them the promised land.

They should be prepared to explain their faith gently and respectfully. Even though others may persecute Christians, they will be judged. Believers should serve each other with their gifts and obey God, as suffering is part of life but they are not alone. They should commit to God as Jesus did when he suffered.

Don't be surprised when -- not if -- you find yourself suffering in God's will -- This will happen! You are folllowing Christ's example of reproving the world with a love for them that hates sin enough to suffer. Paul said that in suffering, you're in God's death-to-Life march, on display for the world to marvel at. So prepare and consider proper suffering the honor it is, that is to be rewarded by Him.

James (series 9): How to Quit Quarreling and Start Loving
The document summarizes how to avoid quarrels by addressing their source and providing solutions. It discusses that quarrels stem from wrong desires within us like frustrated desire and improper prayer. These wrong desires are sourced in a love for the world and its value system rather than God. The solutions are to submit to God, resist the devil, come near to God, and humble yourself before Him. This involves adopting God's value system over the world's and applying His remedies.

focusing on the negative
This sermon discusses how focusing on the negative can damage relationships and encourages focusing on the positive instead. It addresses not focusing on the negative with children, spouses, neighbors, country, church, and God. Key relationships like family, marriage, and our relationship with God can be harmed by judging and complaining about others. Instead, we should have love for one another, forgive each other, and not judge others in the same way we do not want to be judged.

The document provides 5 steps to avoid temptation: 1) Recognize your tendency to sin and expect temptation, 2) Run away from temptation and God will be faithful, 3) Resist temptation with the word of God by reading the Bible daily, 4) Refocus on praise when tempted to strengthen your resistance, 5) Repent quickly if you fail and flee from sin as instructed in various Bible passages. The overall message is that through recognizing, resisting, and refocusing on God, one can avoid giving in to temptation by applying these Bible-based steps.
David and Goliath
The document discusses facing giants or temptations in life and finding freedom and victory through faith in God. It emphasizes surrendering to God through obedience, forgiveness, submission, humility, and accountability. Key points include never facing giants alone with just human strength, but relying on God who is greater; freedom coming through confession and repentance of sins; and freedom from sin's power through submitting to God and His truth.
Faith Through The Fire
“Faith Through The Fire” - (1 Peter; Guidance In Troubled Times) - Peter tells us that God keeps us “Through faith”, but persecution will effect our faith. The effect upon our faith however is determined by our attitude & response! (1 Pet 1:7-9; 3:14,15; 5:10) How can we respond properly & in a beneficial way when we’re treated poorly because of our faith?. - AUDIO / KEYNOTE / PPT / PDF - (11/17/2013)
Listening for the trumpet1
The document discusses how believers should respond to Jesus' promised return. It addresses three common questions about His timing and summarizes that we are not told the exact date, but should: 1) joyfully anticipate His coming and not lose heart in current troubles, 2) eagerly wait while continuing our work of witnessing and encouraging one another, and 3) maintain our faith and testimony until He returns as we have been commanded.
What is our Deepest Prayer in life?
This document discusses what our deepest prayer in life should be based on passages from the Bible. It examines prayers from Paul, Ephesians and Colossians that focus on growing closer to God through wisdom, knowledge and understanding his will. The Lord's Prayer is presented as containing prayers for eternity and everyday needs. It should focus on God, his name, kingdom and will rather than being self-centered. We are called to pray for God's reign, fruitfulness for his kingdom, and discernment of his will.
Alternative How to Give
This document discusses biblical principles of giving from Matthew 6 and 2 Corinthians 9. It teaches that we should give secretly without seeking praise or reward from others. When we give generously and cheerfully, God rewards us through increased blessings, growth in character, seeing others helped, and knowing we are emulating Christ's example. True giving comes from the heart without reluctance or compulsion, trusting that God will provide for our needs and enlarge the harvest of our righteousness.

Faith of our fathers
The document discusses the faith of the apostles and founding fathers, comparing how they founded spiritual and physical nations respectively. It emphasizes that we are part of the story of both, as descendants of Abraham who are heirs to God's promise through faith in Jesus. The conclusion exhorts us to lay aside sin and run the Christian race of faith while looking to Jesus, who authored and perfected our faith.
Titus good works
1) Good works show who we truly are, but some people profess faith in God yet are disobedient and worthless for good works.
2) We need biblical patterns to learn good works, which help our teaching and withstand opponents.
3) God's people are zealous for good works because they understand they have been redeemed and are being transformed into Christ's image.
Joab's Insubordinatin Problem
This document summarizes key events and people in the biblical story of Joab. Joab was David's commander of the army and allied with him, but disobeyed David in two instances: killing Abner, the commander of King Ishbosheth's army, and killing Absalom, David's son who usurped his throne. The document outlines these events and Joab advising David at other times. It concludes by noting David commanded Solomon to kill Joab due to his disobedience, which overshadowed his good deeds.
Before you preach part 2
The document provides guidance for preaching based on 2 Timothy 4. It advises to preach sound doctrine using God's wisdom, be patient and let God's word do its work. It warns that some will reject the truth and surround themselves with false teachers. It instructs preachers to endure afflictions when preaching the gospel or pointing out apostasy, knowing that God is with them.
Before you preach. part 1
Moses stood up against false teachers despite facing frustration, requiring courage to stand outside one's comfort zone. Preachers should prepare for potential persecution from people and brethren who disagree, seeking only to please God rather than selfish ambition. Effective preaching requires using scripture as a sword to teach doctrine, rebuke error, correct faults, and instruct others as equipped by God, rather than focusing on the preacher.
Bringing christ into your marriage
This document discusses how to bring Christ into marriage through self-denial, trust, commitment, and forgiveness. It argues that just as Christians deny themselves, trust completely in God, commit fully to living for God, and forgive endlessly, spouses must do the same for their marriage: deny themselves, trust one another completely, commit fully to the marriage, and forgive each other repeatedly. Bringing Christ-like qualities to marriage is presented as key to having a successful marriage.
Hope
This document summarizes the key points from 1 Peter 1:3-9 about having a living hope as a Christian. It discusses that this hope comes from God and His promises, is made possible through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and results in an inheritance that is incorruptible, undefiled, and will never fade away. While God protects this hope, believers also have a responsibility to access it through strong and enduring faith. Even during times of suffering, Christians can rejoice in this hope because it leads to future glory in heaven that outweighs and lasts beyond any temporary afflictions.
The golden rule
The document discusses common philosophies of men such as feeling good, might makes right, and legalism. It then outlines how to properly apply the Golden Rule by being a good neighbor, avoiding gossip, not jumping to conclusions, and not seeking revenge. Finally, it notes the Golden Rule provides unique solutions for personal convictions, correcting religious errors, and granting forgiveness.
Log out
This document discusses the negative effects of always being logged into the internet. It summarizes these effects in 3 sentences:
When we are always logged in, we unplug our influence in the world, disconnect from our brethren, stop communicating with our family, and lose important moments with our Lord. Staying constantly connected online causes us to neglect shining our light before others, encouraging fellow Christians, teaching God's word to our children, and spending precious time alone in prayer. Being continually plugged into technology removes us from real-world interactions and disconnects our relationship with God.
Standing On the Shoulders of Giants
This document discusses standing on the shoulders of giants, referring to building upon the knowledge and work of those who came before. It notes that Isaac Newton and Bernard of Chartres used this phrase, and that the Israelites inherited the infrastructure built by others. Similarly, Timothy learned the faith from his mother and grandmother. The document encourages handing down the labor and teachings of early American Christians, following the Apostles' way rather than discovering new doctrines. It discusses debates that took place centuries ago but which we now have answers to thanks to the work of others. The conclusion exhorts developing an open but discerning attitude like the Bereans when evaluating arguments.
Does the end justify the means
This document discusses the concept that godly ends must be reached through godly methods, and that the end does not justify the means. It provides examples from the Bible where people tried to rationalize ungodly methods by citing good intentions or ends, but God was not pleased with their disobedience. Specifically, it references Saul offering sacrifices himself instead of waiting for Samuel, and Saul's decision to spare captured wealth from the Amalekites against God's command. The document cautions against compromising truth or disregarding God's will in order to achieve goals.
Shepherds for the chief shepherd
The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of elders in the local church. It states that elders have been given authority by God and the Holy Spirit to oversee the church. It encourages entrusting and committing elders to the Lord, as his plan for church authority is good. It notes that if elders set a strong example, edify others, and work joyfully, then the congregation will benefit and be strengthened. The document concludes by reminding readers that as members of the congregation, they should submit to their elders and always desire to follow the Chief Shepherd, who is Christ.
The office of a deacon
This document discusses the role and qualifications of deacons in the church. It defines deacons as servants who minister to others. The Bible describes the first deacons as meeting practical needs in the early church. To become a deacon, one must demonstrate qualifications of character, including being grave, blameless, and not greedy. Deacons must also have proven Christian experience and be able to manage their household and children well. The document encourages self-reflection on whether one's life already meets these qualifications before taking on the role of deacon.
The Universal Church and the Local Church
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Equipping the Saints Hezekiah
Hezekiah strengthened Judah against the Assyrian king Sennacherib by equipping Jerusalem militarily and spiritually. He rebuilt walls, made weapons, and ensured the city's water supply. However, it was ultimately God who saved Jerusalem, not military technology alone. The document also discusses how Hezekiah showed Babylon all his treasures, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy that Babylon would later rob Judah. It asks what motivates Satan to destroy homes, listing potential causes like sexual immorality, lack of doctrinal knowledge, and frustration leading to hate and gossip.
Those Who Desire to Be Rich
This document discusses wealth and the desire to be rich. It notes that while wealth itself is not evil and can be a gift from God, the desire to be rich can take one's focus away from God. References are made to passages in the Bible such as 1 Timothy 6:6-10, Matthew 5:23-26, and Ecclesiastes 5:10-17 that discuss the difficulties of the rich entering heaven and wealth not satisfying one. The rich man from Luke 12:13-21 is used as an example of one who focused on himself rather than God.
Slides for 7 15-8 am
The document provides guidance on managing finances in marriage from a biblical perspective. It discusses that money should not be loved over God and can destroy relationships if not properly managed. It encourages couples to be good stewards of what God provides and to make financial decisions together with integrity, trust, and open communication. Key issues that can harm marriages if not addressed include debt, lack of budgeting, selfishness over money, materialism, and failing to prioritize God and family over possessions.

Common pitfalls like infidelity, finances, lack of intimacy, abuse and lack of commitment that can ruin marriages will be listed and discussed. Scriptures guiding Christian marriages will also be outlined.
The Church
The document discusses three temples in Haggai and how the glory of the latter temple is greater than the former. It provides context that in 538 BC, Zerubbabel and Joshua rebuilt the temple after the exile. In 520 BC, Haggai and Zechariah encouraged the people to finish rebuilding the temple despite delays. The temple was completed in 515 BC. God told the people rebuilding the second temple that the glory of this temple would be greater than the first temple built by Solomon. The greatest temple is the church, which Christ leads and cannot be destroyed.

This document discusses marriage, divorce and remarriage from a biblical perspective. It begins by noting the importance of using only the Bible as the standard for determining what is acceptable. The document then lists various positions that different religious groups take on the issues of divorce and remarriage, such as allowing it only for death of a spouse, for any legal cause, or for the innocent party in cases of adultery. It emphasizes that the word of God as revealed in scripture must be the sole standard used to evaluate these important issues.

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
