This document discusses 2 Corinthians 4:13-18 and contrasts the rising tide of eternity within believers' souls with the increasing physical deteriorations of living in earthly bodies. It notes that Paul does not want believers to lose heart due to physical waste or life's afflictions. Paul's secret is fixing our eyes on the unseen eternal realm rather than temporary earthly things, as the eternal outweighs life's light, momentary troubles.

Lesson 13 - Three Phases of Xian Life
The document outlines three phases of the Christian life:
1) Salvation, where one accepts Christ as their Savior through faith.
2) Lordship, where one accepts Christ as their Lord and surrenders control of their life to Him.
3) Abiding in Christ, where through fellowship with Christ and yielding to the Holy Spirit, one bears the Spirit's fruit and allows God to work through them to glorify Himself and attract others.
Lesson 6 - Relating to the Holy Spirit
The document discusses the importance of relating to the Holy Spirit as a person rather than just an influence, as he is God. It outlines several key points about the Holy Spirit, including that he lives in believers as his temple, seals them as God's children, has a plan for their lives and intercedes for them in prayer. The Holy Spirit also baptizes believers into the body of Christ and wants to use them to testify about Jesus and utilize their spiritual gifts.
Being_the_Church_part1_The_Holy_Spirit
The document summarizes passages from Acts 1 that describe Jesus appearing to his disciples after his resurrection and instructing them to remain in Jerusalem until they receive the Holy Spirit. It says that for 40 days Jesus provided proofs that he was alive and spoke to the disciples about the kingdom of God. He told them not to leave Jerusalem but to wait to receive the gift the Father promised, which is the Holy Spirit. The disciples asked if Jesus would restore the kingdom to Israel at that time, but Jesus said it was not for them to know times or dates and that they would receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon them to be his witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
DOCTRINE 8 - CROSS - PS. DONNA TARUN - 630PM EVENING SERVICE
Crucifixion was a form of execution invented by Persians and perfected by Romans during the time of Jesus Christ. It involved scourging, crowning with thorns, carrying a crossbar, and being nailed to a cross. The document discusses various passages from Isaiah and other books of the Bible that prophesy the suffering and death of Jesus Christ. It explains that Jesus died to pay the penalty for humanity's sins and redeem people so that they may be justified by faith in him rather than works of the law. His death accomplished propitiation or payment for sins, as symbolized by the scapegoat ritual in Leviticus that bore the sins of Israel into the wilderness.
Fixed Eyes
The document encourages Christians to look to Jesus in everything. It says we should look to Jesus in times of trial and triumph, for mercy and help every step of the way. We should depend on Jesus to supply all our needs and trust our whole life in God's hands. To be victorious, we must look to Jesus with everything - our time, talents, and treasures. When suffering, we must continue looking to Jesus and seeking God's purpose with faith and patience.
Spiritual Imposters
Paul writes to the Corinthians expressing concern that they have been led astray by false teachers preaching a different gospel. He contrasts himself with these "imposters" and "big-shot apostles", noting that while he may not have their eloquence, he knows what he is talking about. Paul suffered greatly for the gospel and warns the Corinthians that their faith is at risk if they accept these other messages that distort Jesus' true teachings.
Baptism Of Jesus Part 1
This document discusses Jesus' baptism and the lessons we can learn from his obedience. It is divided into three parts:
1) The Obedience of the Son. Jesus obeyed out of responsibility to fulfill all righteousness when he was baptized by John.
2) The Empowerment of the Spirit.
3) The Affirmation of the Father.

Paul looks back to Israel's history in the wilderness following the Exodus to draw lessons for the Corinthians about not grumbling or testing God as Israel did. He references specific events where Israel engaged in idolatry, sexual immorality, or put Christ to the test and faced consequences.

Leap of-faith-confidence group
The document discusses taking a "leap of faith" in openly confessing one's belief and faith in Jesus Christ. It acknowledges that this can be difficult due to fears of rejection but encourages readers by noting several biblical figures like Joseph of Arimathea and Peter who were initially secretive about their faith. It argues that openly confessing one's faith, even in the face of persecution, will be rewarded in heaven. The document urges readers to practice sharing their testimony and faith in order to overcome fears, and to consider the needs of others in telling them about Jesus and God's salvation.
Baptism
This document discusses the biblical teaching on baptism. It makes five main points:
1) Baptism is a burial by immersion according to scripture.
2) Baptism is for believers, as seen in accounts where people believed and were baptized, not infants.
3) Baptism comes before forgiveness of sins, as Jesus said belief and baptism bring salvation.
4) Baptism marks the birth of a Christian through being born of water and spirit.
5) Baptism is where the blood of Christ is applied to wash away sins, as seen in passages like Acts 22:16.
Vintage sheep andthepig_11.25.12
Jesus tells a parable about a shepherd who leaves 99 sheep to search for one lost sheep, finds it, and celebrates its return. The religious leaders criticize Jesus for associating with sinners. The parable illustrates that there is more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous people. It emphasizes that Jesus, as the good shepherd, seeks out the lost to give them hope for a new life and invites them into relationship.
Romans 14 - When Christians Have Genuine Disagreements

14th message in a series on the book of Romans
If this is deliverance
The document expresses doubt and frustration with God in the face of unanswered questions and unresolved suffering due to the loss of loved ones. The writer questions whether God is truly merciful, loving, and understanding if He does not directly intervene to ease pain and wipe tears. Two responses are provided: 1) Being Christian does not guarantee all problems will be solved, and having problems does not mean lack of faith. 2) When under attack from Satan, one can fight back through prayer, turning to others, and claiming God's promises in meditation.
Hungering and thirsting after righteousness!
The document discusses Jesus' teaching on hungering and thirsting for righteousness from Matthew 5:6. It explores what it means to truly hunger and thirst, examining the need for a proper appetite, attitude, and acquaintances. A proper appetite involves desiring God's word and righteousness. A proper attitude is having a "God first" perspective like Joseph. Proper acquaintances means avoiding too close of ties to the world and its unfruitful works, instead seeking to help others become friends of God. The conclusion encourages examining these areas to ensure truly hungering and thirsting for righteousness.

FOTS - Peace
The document discusses finding peace through faith in Jesus Christ, noting that peace with God leads to peace of mind, which then allows for peace with others.

Dr. Vernon Secrets of the Vine Pt. 6- make a wish - sunday, may 5th - sermo...
The document summarizes a sermon given on John 15:7, in which there are three key points:
1) There are three common interpretations of what the "burned branches" in John 15:6 refer to, but the best interpretation is that they represent professing Christians who are not genuinely saved.
2) John 15:7 promises that if believers remain connected to Christ and His word remains in them, their prayers will be granted according to God's will.
3) When believers bear much fruit, it brings God glory and proves that they are truly Christ's disciples. The sermon encourages believers to "make a wish" and have faith that God will grant their prayers according to His
0514 acts 1615 if you consider me a believer power point church sermon
The document summarizes Acts 16:15, which describes how a woman who had recently become a believer in Jesus invited Paul and Silas to stay at her home after she and her household were baptized. She told them "If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house." Paul and Silas accepted her invitation and stayed with her.
The True Vine & its Branches
The document discusses the importance of vines and grapes in biblical times, using them as symbols of prosperity, and how they provided important nutrients. It then discusses how Christians should remain in Jesus' love by obeying his commands to love one another, demonstrating the fruits of the spirit, and making disciples. To remain in Jesus' love requires continuous spiritual nourishment, and pruning is necessary to prevent spiritual disease and ensure fruitfulness. Christians have a precious relationship with Jesus and each other based on love, and by remaining closely connected to him through communion, they will have a purpose and experience complete joy.
People Need the Lord! How Will they Meet?
God knew that and so He sent Jesus to rescue all humanity from their sins. Jesus then sent us to continue what He started: the evangelization of the world.
This message gives you strong biblical evidence that helping people make it to heaven is one of the two main reasons God still keeps His beloved children on earth after we get saved.
Jesus' Exclusivity
Jesus clearly asserts that He is the only way. Our inclusive culture finds this teaching exasperating. Yet it is at the very heart of the gospel. In this sermon we will explore how to build a bridge between Jesus' exclusive claims and our culture's attitude that "it's all good."

Lu 18 _1-9_pray-on
The document is a sermon about the importance of persistent prayer based on the parable of the persistent widow from Luke 18:1-8. The parable tells of a widow who repeatedly asks an unjust judge for justice against her enemy until he grants it just to end her constant requests. Jesus says that if even the unjust judge will grant justice due to persistence, how much more will God, who is just, grant justice to His people who cry out to Him day and night. The sermon encourages believers to pray persistently and never give up hope that God will answer their prayers.
Contentment in singleness
Sometimes it completely amazes me, that married people want to be single and the single people want to be married. So many people have the grass is greener syndrome. There are obviously differences depending on whether or not you are married or single.

What god wants
This document is a sermon given by Pastor Steven J. Cole on September 16, 2007 based on Ephesians 1:18-19. In the sermon, Pastor Cole makes three main points:

Prayer.2.text.01.18.15
This document summarizes key points from a teaching on prayer based on Ephesians 1:15-19. It discusses three main ideas:
1. The supremacy of prayer - Paul's most important prayer was that people would know God better by taking Him into their hearts and minds. Knowing about God is less important than knowing God Himself.
2. The integrity of prayer - Giving priority to outer life over inner life leads to feeling uncomfortable with self-reflection and lacking integrity. Cultivating an inner prayer life is important.
3. The hardness of prayer - Prayer is difficult work that requires searching for God, even when feeling His absence. Persisting through dryness and discomfort can lead to a flour

This article discusses facing difficulties in life through the metaphor of a rainy day. The author was feeling discouraged due to her son's developmental delays, upcoming job and housing changes, and other challenges. Looking outside, she saw a bird hunting for worms made visible by the rain. She understood this as a message from God that the storms in her life, though difficult, have provided spiritual blessings that have fed and strengthened her, like the worms fed the bird. While challenges remain, focusing on these blessings allows her to remain hopeful even in hard times.

Specifically, it notes that (1) present sufferings cannot compare to future glory, (2) all of creation eagerly awaits redemption from decay, and (3) Christians groan inwardly while hoping for a future without pain or death. This eternal perspective and hope for what is unseen allows Christians to face present struggles with endurance.

05-06-18, 2 Corinthians 4;1-18, Why Christians Should Not Give Up
This sermon discusses why Christians should not give up. It references a Bible passage encouraging believers to fix their eyes on Jesus and persevere. The sermon then summarizes a chapter from 2 Corinthians, noting that Paul explains Christians should not lose heart even when facing challenges, as they have the light of Christ within them and will be renewed each day inwardly as they proclaim the gospel, with the hope of eternal glory.
#2 Have A Friend & Guide
This document is a sermon about the benefits of having the Holy Spirit dwelling within Christians. It discusses three main benefits: 1) Christians are enlightened by the Holy Spirit to know how to follow God, particularly through studying the Bible. 2) Christians are empowered to live godly lives and overcome sinful desires of the flesh. 3) Christians are invigorated to live by faith instead of fear, as the Holy Spirit gives them confidence and power. The sermon encourages Christians to be more aware of the Holy Spirit's presence and guidance in their daily lives.
Dream Big Talk Big & Turn Ur faith Loose Kenneth Copeland
This document provides information about a book titled "Dream Big, Talk Big, and Turn Your Faith Loose" published by Kenneth Copeland Ministries. It contains copyright information and discusses living by faith in God's word rather than waiting for miracles. The main points made are that God intends for people to live supernaturally by faith in every word from His mouth rather than relying on miracles, visions, or dreams. Having faith in the written word of God is described as a "more sure word" than signs and wonders.
Word of Life, February 2011
This passage discusses being led by the Spirit of God and becoming children of God through baptism and faith in Jesus. It states that by being united with Christ, we share in his Spirit and become children of God, though this is a substantial change in our nature rather than just a legal relationship. It encourages living according to the Spirit by denying selfishness and living in love, which allows the Spirit to guide us. We must be aware of the Spirit within us and say "no" to temptation and "yes" to God's will in order to follow the Spirit's voice more readily.
How to overcome the world
The document discusses how to overcome the world as a Christian. It explains that there are three things that make up "all that is in the world" - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. It provides examples of how these manifest and encourages believers to overcome temptations and cravings by putting their flesh to death through repentance and fasting. The ultimate goal is to die to the world and be led by the Spirit of God instead of yielding to sinful desires.
04 joyous and thankful
The document provides a lesson on 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10. It summarizes that Paul expresses gratitude and joy for the Thessalonians' faith in his opening remarks. Paul praises their work of faith, labor of love, and steadfastness of hope. He is thankful that God chose them and that their faith is evidenced by their reception of the gospel through the Holy Spirit and their assurance in Christ. The Thessalonians imitated Paul and the other ministers in suffering joyfully and became models for other believers to follow.
Be Encouraged
You cannot do anything about your history or your past. BUT you can change your future. Put God first in your life and you will not be discouraged.
07 how to stay encouraged
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.
How should a christian behave?
This document discusses how a Christian should behave. It says that Christians should recognize that they are God's chosen, holy, and beloved people. Their behavior should reflect this by being compassionate, kind, humble, gentle, and patient. Christians should also support and uphold each other, just as Christ supported and forgave them. When difficulties arise, they should forgive each other as Christ forgave them. Overall, Christians are called to high moral standards in how they treat others as a reflection of their special status and relationship with God.
Luke 41 4
Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness, where he fasted and was tempted by the devil for 40 days. When he was hungry, the devil tempted him to turn stones into bread. However, Jesus resisted this temptation by quoting scripture that says "man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of God." He demonstrated how to overcome temptation through being filled with the Holy Spirit and relying on God's word rather than human desires.
Why Should We Rejoice?
Life can be difficult due to various challenges like aging, heartache, and poor choices. Following Jesus may initially seem to make life easier but could actually make it more difficult, as Jesus calls his followers to bring healing and hope to those in need, which may burden them with others' pain and problems. Paul's life as a Christian was difficult due to persecutions, imprisonments, and other hardships, yet he found strength through Christ and was able to endure these challenges for the sake of spreading the gospel.

Holy Choices - an Introduction to Ignatian Decision-making
This document discusses discerning God's plan for one's life through making choices. It presents five assumptions: 1) God is real and present, 2) God has a plan for each person's uniqueness, 3) God actively guides people, 4) People are capable of being God-guided, and 5) People's decisions impact God's work through them. It encourages examining deepest desires and feelings for clues to God's work, and outlines tools like discernment of consolations and desolations, and the Examen prayer for guidance. The overall message is that through releasing attachments, paying attention to promptings, and choosing among "competing goods," one can discern and follow God's will.
Holy Choices - Introduction to Ignatian Decision-Makinig
Bill Faris guides us into the fundamental concepts and practices of discerning God's plans and making decisions as informed by the teaching of Ignatius Loyola.
Three kinds of rest, part three
A brief examination of the concept of practicing rest, observing a sabbath, and setting apart a "temple in time" the imitates God's rhythm of rest in creation.
Three Kinds of Rest, Part Two
This time the focus is on the rest that comes from our surrender to God's rule and reign. It is a taste of the future when the Lord's authority will be comprehensive and all creation will be at rest.
Three Kinds of Rest, part one
The document discusses three kinds of rest, focusing on the "Rest of the Soul with God". It describes this rest as ceasing our efforts to be righteous through our own works and instead trusting fully in Christ's finished work. Quotes from scripture emphasize abandoning our own works and entering God's rest through faith. The experience of this rest is likened to a weaned child resting contentedly with its mother. Voices like Augustine, Amy Carmichael, and Chuck Swindoll are quoted speaking of finding rest, clarity, and exhaustion in God's presence through meditation and focusing on Him.
How We Worship - Praise and Worship - Part Two
The document discusses how Christians should approach worship. It says worship should be infused with love, gratitude, awe, and humility. Worshippers must have clean hands and a pure heart through confessing sins. The document encourages worshipping with confidence based on having access to God through Jesus and forgiveness of sins. It presents worship as an act of relationship and fellowship with God through our position as his children in Christ.
Why Worship?
In part one of Easter series we look at worship and why the proper worship of God REALLY matters!
Peak Experiences
The document discusses spiritual "peak experiences" and their importance in a spiritual life with God. It describes research from psychologists Abraham Maslow and Vincent Crapanzano on peak experiences like rapture and ecstasy. These experiences can impart a sense of the sacred and often involve manifestations of God's presence. They are also sometimes accompanied by a sense of calling or commissioning, as seen in biblical examples from Isaiah and D.L. Moody. While temporary, peak experiences can transform awareness and be foretastes of eternal glory.
Rooted in Hope
This document discusses rooting more deeply into hope through faith in God. It begins by quoting passages from Romans that discuss how through faith we are made right with God and given hope through the Holy Spirit. It then defines hope as an optimistic state of mind about desired future outcomes. The document contrasts easy hope, which is surface level, with hard hope, which requires deeper roots and patient effort. It encourages rooting into the fountain of hope that God has placed within believers, which gives a good future outlook even in difficult times. Drinking from this fountain of hope causes relaxation and seeing beyond present struggles.
Rooted Deeply, Session 1, Rooted Deeply in Grace
God calls us to root ourselves deeply in grace by increasing our confidence in His commitment to forgive, love, and transform us. Going deeper into grace means going deeper into fellowship with God, into His love and transformation. The passage encourages going below the surface with God to see what He has done and still needs to do in our innermost being. Going deep with God, we find signs of His kingdom within us despite any shameful things, as He is our healer and savior.
Finishing Well, Raising the Temperature of Your Relationship
This document discusses ways to warm the temperature of a marriage relationship. It suggests creating "warm emotional memories" (WEMs) through date nights, acts of service, gifts, quality time, and words of affirmation. These positive emotional memories can counteract any "negative emotional memories" (NEMs). The document provides examples of joyful, humorous, sexy, or unique WEMs and recommends speaking graciously, using eye contact and touch to affirm one's spouse. The overall goal is to strengthen emotional intimacy through generating fond shared experiences.
Finishing well!, part 3
This document discusses three types of forgiveness: garden variety offenses which should be forgiven 70 x 7 times; selected forgiveness for bigger offenses which may allow for reconciliation; and aggressive forgiveness which is a form of spiritual warfare. It provides guidance on processing smaller offenses with humor and empathy. For larger offenses, it recommends using the four "C"s of confrontation: compliment, confess, confront, commit. The goals of forgiveness are to glorify God, open doors for healing, and allow God to work in both people. Forgiveness does not condone wrongs but breaks unwanted bonds and paves the way for repair.
Finishing well, Parts 1 and 2
This document summarizes the first two sessions of a married couples retreat focused on finishing well.
Session one discusses creating a shared vision for a fruitful marriage grounded in God's word. It provides scriptural examples of fruitfulness and encourages couples to describe their vision simply, shareably, and in a way that is meaningful to them.
Session two discusses how crises can hinder or help couples in running long and finishing well. It defines marital crisis, provides common types, and outlines ineffective versus effective crisis management. The session emphasizes that God's plan is for couples to grow from crisis through joining together, facing facts, communicating, and increasing spiritual resources. It provides examples of potential growth and hindrances to growth.
Introduction to a Good Life With God
Psalm 1 contrasts two ways of life - the way of the wicked and the way of the righteous. The righteous person's life is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields fruit and has leaves that do not wither. Their life prospers. A good life with God includes fruitfulness, prosperity, rest, belonging to God's community, purpose and destiny, access to God's wisdom, a clean conscience, and shalom - total well-being and satisfaction in life. The source of a good life with God is God himself as our creator, shepherd, father and potter who shapes our lives.
Mark 6 - Prophets Disrupt
Mark depicts both Jesus and John the Baptist in their prophetic roles as those who disrupt and challenge the status quo. God is breaking in! His rule changes things. Mark shows us the impact of God's claims on the powerful and the weak.
Mark 5 - Jesus Changes Hopeless Cases
In this chapter we have three "hopeless" cases who, in different ways, encounter the hope of Jesus Christ. Their lives are changed forever - 'cause that's what Jesus does in bringing hope to the hopeless.
Mark 4 - Owning Spiritual Maturity
The document discusses the parable of the sower from the Bible, in which seeds sown by a sower produced different results depending on the type of soil. It says Jesus places responsibility on individuals for their differing spiritual results. It then discusses that no one is fully spiritually mature upon becoming Christian, and that individuals are responsible for their own spiritual growth through learning practices like prayer, Bible reading, worship, sharing their faith, and resisting sin. Spiritual maturity requires both knowing spiritual truths and putting them into practice.
Introduction to Mark
This introduction to Mark's gospel emphasizes the good news concerning the inbreaking Kingdom of God as announced and spearheaded by Messiah, Jesus. Signs and Wonders attend. The crucifixion and resurrection ensure. Go tell the Good News! It's time!
Confronting Our Idols
The first example of idolatry in the Bible was in Exodus 32 - The Golden Calf story. What can we take from this to help us better understand and confront our own spiritual anxieties?
Greatest miracle
What is the greatest miracle you have ever witnessed? There is not greater miracle than a change of heart and soul. Even the Believer must remain open and committed to "contining conversion". Zacchaeus reminds us of what conversion looks like - a total change in "operating system".

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

Eternity rising
- 2. 2 CORINTHIANS 4: 13 - 18 It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
- 3. THE “ALREADY” AND THE “NOT YET” We often speak in Vineyard circles of the tensions that exist between the kingdom of God will one day be fully consummated at the return of Christ and the way it is already breaking in to our life experience and environment now. In a similar way, Paul contrasts the rising tide of eternity within our souls to the increasing physical deteriorations that go along with our being housed in earthly “tents”.
- 4. “THEREFORE WE DO NOT LOSE HEART” How are we tempted to “lose heart” in this life? What does Paul want us to remember so that we are not so prone to do so? 1. Two things are mentioned: physical deterioration and the afflictions of this world 2. What is Paul’s “secret weapon” in overcoming these factors?
- 5. “FIX OUR EYES” The text concludes with his urging us to “fix our eyes” on something in particular – the “unseen”. This is a little ironic since he wants us to gaze steadily upon the invisible! But, yes, that is exactly what he is wanting us to do. Why?
- 6. JARS MADE OUT OF CLAY As we reflected in our Lectio Divina passage from last week – there is an earthly jar that contains a heavenly treasure in all of our lives. If “the good life” is all about the jar (to the neglect of the treasure) it is a recipe for a tense and anxious attempt to preserve the unpreservable. Rather, the path to the “good life” is to fix our eyes on the surpassing value of the eternal and to weigh our present troubles against the glory of that which “God has prepared for those who love Him”.
