The document discusses growing in godliness through enduring struggles, being strong in grace, training others, and finding purpose in suffering. It emphasizes remembering Jesus and the faithfulness of God.
The document discusses the Battle of Jericho from the book of Joshua chapters 5-6. God gave Joshua specific orders to have the men of war march around the city once a day for six days and seven times on the seventh day, with seven priests blowing trumpets. When the Israelites obeyed God's orders and gave a great shout on the seventh day, the walls of Jericho fell down and the Israelites were able to defeat the city through their obedience to God's commands. The document emphasizes that obedience to God can lead to victory, as it did for Joshua and the Israelites at Jericho.
This document is a study guide for a life group on exalting Jesus as Lord. It includes an opening section to memorize a key verse together and asks discussion questions about responding to Jesus, reasons to exalt him as Lord, and ways to exalt him. The guide encourages participants to surrender fully to Jesus' lordship and to exalt him in every area of life through worship, attitude, serving, and suffering.
Christian beliefs about Jesus hold that he is the Son of God and part of the holy trinity. It is believed that as the incarnation of God, Jesus walked on earth and through his crucifixion and death on the cross, provided atonement for mankind's sins. Following his resurrection three days after death, Jesus ascended to heaven 40 days later and Christians believe he will return again in the future at the second coming.
Jesus Christ offers salvation from sins and peace and strength during trials. A passage from the Doctrine and Covenants teaches that one can find peace in Christ by learning from him, listening to his words, and walking in humility guided by the Holy Spirit. The document encourages learning about finding peace in Christ through scriptures, social media, the LDS Youth website and app, and church magazines.
For one to be saved, they must confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that God raised Jesus from the dead. Confessing with the mouth and believing in the heart are both required for salvation according to this passage.
God opposes pride and will humble those who exalt themselves. Humility is recognizing our need for God and dependence on his grace. The story of God, seen through Jesus, shows how humility led to exaltation. Jesus, though equal to God, humbled himself by becoming human and dying on the cross. Therefore, God highly exalted him as Lord over all.
15 September 2013: "Letting God control and trust in His plans" (Joshua 5)alfc_media
Joshua encountered a man with a drawn sword who identified himself as the commander of the Lord's army. When Joshua asked if he was for them or their enemies, the commander replied that he was neither, but had come as commander of the Lord's army. The commander instructed Joshua to remove his sandals as he was standing on holy ground. Joshua complied with the commander's instruction.
Believing is not easy. Jesus reminds us in this passage that He is from God, His teaching is from God, and that He is going to God. In this passage we find three types of responses to Him. One is from the authorities who oppose Him and want to kill Him. Some of the people see Him as a false teacher and others see him as good. Important lessons about the basis for our belief are found in this text.

BOOK DESCRIPTION--
Please read the following
text carefully, critically, and
without any preconceptions!
Jesus said, “Seek the truth,
and the truth will set you free.”
As a seeker of the truth and a
student of life, and after many years of
observation, research and comparative
study, it appears to me that people often
base their beliefs and judgments on weak,
sandy foundations, rather than on the solid
foundation of rock that Jesus
recommended.
Concerning the topic at hand, I have
noticed some major differences between
what is commonly and officially
understood about God in Christianity, and
what the Bible itself states!
In this booklet, I would like to share
with you -out of love and concern- what I
have noticed and learned throughmy
continuous journey of research, analysis,
and study.
The intent of this work is to
honestly and sincerely present the truth
that I found, not to hurt the feelings of
anyone.
Now let us turn to discuss some
issues and questions concerning the nature
of God in Christianity, namely the Trinity
and divinity of Jesus.

BOOK CONTENTS--
1. What is the nature of God in Christianity?
2. Is God one or three (Trinity)?
3. Is Jesus equal with God?
4. Is Jesus God or part of God?
5. Is Jesus a son of man or son of God?
6. So, who is Jesus really?
7. What is your opinion?
This document provides guidance on praying the Scriptures for personal change and transformation. It recommends the ancient practice of Lectio Divina, involving reading, meditating on, praying about, and contemplating a Scripture passage. An example is provided applying this to 1 Peter 1:15-16. The document stresses making a plan to incorporate daily prayer practices like Mass, Divine Office, and daily Scripture reading. The goal is drawing near to God through Scripture to experience interior change and become more holy.
This document provides discussion questions for a Life Group study on 1 Peter 2:4-8. The passage discusses believers being living stones in God's spiritual house, with Jesus as the cornerstone. It explores what it means to mature as believers and function as priests of God. Members are asked how they see themselves rejected by men but chosen by God. The study guide encourages applying the lessons by challenging one another to evangelism and making the ideals of the passage practical.
The document discusses the Ten Commandments, focusing on the second commandment which is "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain." It states that the name of the Lord is holy and makes God present when spoken. It also discusses how Jesus' name is above every other name and that every knee will bend and tongue proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord. The document asks how to show honor to God's name and how one can profane God's name through blasphemy, cursing, profanity, and perjury.

This document discusses the importance of prayer and how to have an effective prayer life. It notes that Jesus often went off by himself to pray. Prayer is about developing a relationship with God rather than just asking for things. The document provides tips for prayer such as developing a hunger for God, listening to God, praying out loud, focusing on God's priorities in prayer, and creating regular prayer habits like keeping a prayer journal. Maintaining an active prayer life is vital for spiritual growth.
The document discusses Paul's letter to the Colossians, written around 61 AD to address the Colossian heresy and show the supremacy of Christ. It examines key passages from Colossians 2:6-7, encouraging believers to walk in Christ as they have received Him by faith, being firmly rooted and built up through instruction so they may be established in the faith with gratitude. The document provides biblical context and explanations for several Greek words and concepts to elaborate on walking by faith in light of one's position in Christ.
The document discusses Jesus' vision for community as presented in the Sermon on the Mount. It calls Christians to self-examination of their fruit and foundations based on Jesus' teachings, examining whether they display a loving and gracious community, and to consider whether they identify with the blessed poor or the woeful rich. It also references a dinner related to the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus distinguishes between those who acknowledge their own faults ("who me"?) and those who only fault others ("what them"?).
1. The Bible passage from 1 Corinthians 6:19 says that the human body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and that people belong to God, not themselves.
2. Parsley is described as being an excellent digestive remedy that improves digestion of proteins and fats, promotes nutrient absorption in the intestines, liver, and storage. It contains high enzymes that benefit digestive activity and elimination.
3. The excerpt discusses how people's first duty is self-development by cultivating all faculties to the highest degree to do the most good. Time spent on physical and mental health is time well spent, as people cannot afford to weaken or limit any body or mind functions without suffering consequences.
The document discusses the second and third commandments. The second commandment demands respect for God's name and forbids taking God's name in vain or using it disrespectfully through blasphemy, profanity, or lying under oath. The third commandment calls Christians to honor the Sabbath by keeping Sunday holy through celebrating Mass and doing good works in remembrance of Jesus' resurrection. Both commandments require using respectful and positive language that honors God and respects others.
The document discusses several topics related to Christianity:
1. It presents reasons why Christians believe in God, such as the beauty of the universe requiring a designer and everything needing a first cause.
2. It describes characteristics that Christians attribute to God, such as being all-powerful, everywhere, all-knowing, loving, and a Trinity of three in one.
3. It outlines components of the Bible, including the Old Testament, New Testament, and that it provides advice for life and the teachings of Jesus. Christians have different views on how literally to take the Bible.
4. It mentions God's activity in the world through miracles and at Lourdes, as well as
This acrostic poem uses the letters in "CHRISTIAN" to outline characteristics of being a Christian such as being concerned for others, helping those in need, reading the Bible, being interested in others, praying, sharing the gospel, showing love, worshipping God, and needing each other. The poem encourages Christians to reflect on whether others see Christ in them through their words and actions.
This document summarizes the four quadrants of a healthy Christian life: 1) personal relationship with God through daily Bible reading, scripture memory, and prayer; 2) corporate worship through church attendance, singing, and tithing; 3) small group community and accountability; and 4) finding an area of service within or outside the church such as teaching, outreach, or various ministries. It provides examples of how Christians like King David, Nehemiah, and Chris Tomlin have used their talents and positions to serve God. The document also addresses common excuses for not serving and encourages readers to avail themselves, pray for guidance, and respond affirmatively when opportunities arise.
The document repeats the phrases "There is power in the name of Jesus" and "To break every chain" multiple times. It suggests that through Jesus, every chain can be broken and that there is power in his name. It also references an army rising up to break every chain.
The Sabbath was about more than simply rest from work. The Sabbath was to help people learn to trust and rest in God's provision. The gospels and the New Testament are designed to show us that Jesus is God's provision and we are to learn to trust and rest in Him. Check out "Being a Disciple part 3 (Resting in God's Provision)" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obUqttLDTuY
1) The document seeks to simplify theological concepts and biblical ideas through explaining commonly used big words in theology in more straightforward terms.
2) Key concepts discussed include God's omnipotence, omniscience, immutability, and omnipresence based on passages from Romans, Psalms, Acts, and other biblical books.
3) Various attributes of God are explored such as his eternal power, divine nature, and that he is everywhere present and all-knowing.
This summary provides the key points from the document in 3 sentences:
The document discusses a Bible study on Colossians 3:16 about teaching and admonishing one another. It warns that hypocrisy means acting in one way and teaching another. It encourages reflecting on areas where you may need to heed your own advice before advising others.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
1) The document discusses the evolution of thieves throughout history using Bonnie and Clyde as an example. It describes how Bonnie faced a difficult choice in deciding whether to continue living on the run with Clyde or leave him, knowing it would likely lead to their deaths.
2) Bonnie and Clyde captured the public imagination during the Great Depression due to portraying themselves as modern-day Robin Hood figures fighting against the government. However, their deaths revealed a starkly different reality from the Hollywood versions.
3) On May 23, 1934, Bonnie and Clyde were ambushed by police while driving. Clyde was killed instantly by shots to the head, while Bonnie was wounded but then
This document contains several Bible verses and quotes about peace from the books of Colossians, John, Luke, Ephesians, Romans, and Philippians. It emphasizes finding peace through Christ, trusting in God, praying with thanksgiving, thinking on noble things, and spreading love, pardon, faith, hope, light, joy where there is hatred, injury, doubt, despair, darkness, and sadness.
The document presents a step-by-step solution to a problem involving coconuts and monkeys. It establishes equations to model the situation where each subsequent monkey takes 6/7 of the remaining coconuts. Through algebraic manipulation of the equations, it determines that the original number of coconuts (X) must be 5,764,795 and the amount each monkey received (I) must be 279,935.
The document discusses Woodstock, the famous 1969 music festival. It describes the massive crowd of 500,000 to 1 million people that attended over 3 days. It also recounts the memorable performance by Jimi Hendrix, where despite technical difficulties and bad weather, he gave an epic two-hour set, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. The excerpt from the Joni Mitchell song "Woodstock" captures the spirit of the peaceful gathering and message of the era.

The document discusses the nature of true religion according to God. It states that pure and genuine religion, in God's eyes, means caring for orphans and widows in their time of need. For those with families of their own, it means first providing for their own household before God. The passage emphasizes helping the less fortunate as the central practice of genuine faith.
This document contains a series of slides discussing temptation and how to resist it. It references a Bible verse about leading people not into temptation but delivering them from evil. The slides discuss how God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and they disobeyed by eating the forbidden fruit after the serpent tempted Eve. Later slides provide advice on how to resist temptation by trusting God, relying on the Holy Spirit and Scripture, planning ahead, avoiding temptation, running from it, resisting it, denying it, and crucifying sinful desires. The overall message is that people will face temptations but God provides a way to withstand them.
This passage encourages Christians to fill their lives with singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. It instructs believers to sing from their hearts to God, always giving thanks to Him through Jesus Christ. Another passage cited finds joy in taking refuge under God's protection and holding fast to Him for support.
The document contains several Bible verses that discuss living without complaining as Christians, giving thanks to God, rejoicing and praying continually as God's will, and how grace increases where sin increases according to Romans 5:20.
The document summarizes the key messages, motivations, and ministries discussed in 2 Corinthians 5:11-21 based on a class taught by David Clayton. The message is about the love of Christ, life for Christ, the new creation in Christ, and forgiveness and righteousness from Christ. The motivation comes from persuading others out of fear of the Lord and being compelled and convinced by Christ's love. The ministry involves having a new worldview, receiving the gift of reconciliation as a committed message, and acting as Christ's ambassadors.
1) The teachers of the law and Pharisees try to trap Jesus by bringing a woman caught in adultery and asking his judgment, according to Mosaic law of stoning her.
2) Jesus responds by writing in the dirt and challenging anyone without sin to stone her first. Convicted, they leave one by one.
3) When Jesus asks if any condemn her, she says no. He then says he does not condemn her either, but urges her to "Go and leave your life of sin."
1. The document summarizes a class on staying encouraged based on 2 Corinthians 4:1-18 taught by David Clayton.
2. The key theme is to not lose heart. Ten ways to stay encouraged are discussed: renouncing shame, relying on God's power, reminding ourselves of our identity, relishing what we have, releasing the power of belief, and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
3. Students are instructed to get a study guide from the back or fill one out online at the church's website.
David Clayton taught a class on 2 Corinthians 3:1-11. The document provides an outline of the key points from the passage, including that Paul commends the Corinthians for being a letter from Christ written on their hearts by the Spirit of God. It notes they have confidence through Christ from God, not themselves. The passage also discusses the contrast between the old covenant of condemnation and the new covenant of the Spirit, which brings righteousness and has a glory that surpasses the old. The document instructs the class to get a study guide from the back or fill one out online.

1) The document is a class summary on 2 Corinthians 2:12-17 taught by David Clayton. It discusses how Paul faced defeating circumstances but found victory through surrendering control to God.
2) It describes how Christians spread the aroma of Christ everywhere, which is pleasing to God and brings life to those being saved but the aroma of death to those who are perishing.
3) The teacher outlines the four-fold ministry of having the full gospel witnessed by God as those commissioned by God.
This document summarizes a Bible study on 2 Corinthians 4:16-5:11 led by David Clayton. The study focused on how what Christians know through faith brings confidence. It discusses how Christians fix their eyes on eternal, unseen spiritual realities rather than temporary earthly things. It also addresses how Christians long for their heavenly dwelling and are confident because the Holy Spirit is a deposit guaranteeing eternal life. The study aims to encourage Christians by emphasizing that what is known through faith provides confidence as they live for God.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The crowd that had eaten the loaves the previous day searched for Jesus when they realized he was gone. When they found him, Jesus rebuked them for following him because of the food instead of the signs. He declared that he was the bread of life that came down from heaven, which caused many disciples to lose faith and leave him. Peter affirmed their continued faith in Jesus as the holy one of God who alone has the words of eternal life.
This document provides an introduction and the first chapter of a book about spiritual warfare based on Ephesians 6:10-18. The introduction discusses how many modern people do not believe in the reality of evil or Satan despite acknowledging bad things exist. It argues one cannot choose to believe the universe is benevolent if evil truly exists. The chapter discusses how Christians can stand firm against Satan despite struggles, as the armor of God provides power and protection. It describes Satan as having a hierarchical structure and using organized strategies and schemes to defeat Christians and God's plans.

This document summarizes a teaching on the difficult ministry of forgiveness based on 2 Corinthians 2:05-2:11. It discusses how forgiveness is difficult because it involves pain, requires going above and beyond, moving on, and reaffirming love. However, we are called to forgive because it is an act of obedience, tests our faith, is for Christ's sake, and for our own sake, and helps defeat Satan's schemes. The teaching provides background on Paul's ministry and examples of forgiveness. It concludes with questions to apply the lesson.
David Clayton teaches a class on 2 Corinthians 1:12-2:04. The class focuses on what Paul boasts about, including having a clear conscience, relying on God's works, writing plainly, wanting to be fully understood, handling accusations against him, having a consistent strategy, preaching a consistent message in Christ, and exercising careful judgment. The lesson encourages applying these lessons by reflecting on how others see you, being plainly spoken with love, being careful not to appear fickle in plans, believing in God's promises, and having courage when facing criticism from multiple sides.
The document summarizes a teaching on 2 Corinthians 1:3-11 about making sense of suffering. It covers that the main theme is suffering and how God provides comfort.

It also outlines how Christians should respond to suffering through praise, comforting others, hope, sharing their story, prayer, thankfulness and more.

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
The Book of Samuel is a book in the Hebrew Bible, found as two books in the Old Testament. The book is part of the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.
The Book of Ruth is included in the third division, or the Writings, of the Hebrew Bible. In most Christian canons it is treated as one of the historical books and placed between Judges and 1 Samuel.
