ERCFThe document discusses 1 Peter 4:7-10 and focuses on being others-focused. It summarizes that Christians should be alert, love each other deeply to cover sins, offer hospitality without complaining, and use their gifts to serve others as stewards of God's grace. True love and hospitality mean focusing on others rather than oneself. Christians receive much forgiveness and grace from God so they should extend that same grace to others.

Are sins forgiven without payment?
Forgiveness in the Bible is a “release” or a “dismissal” of something. The forgiveness we have in Christ involves the release of sinners from God’s just penalty and the complete dismissal of all charges against us (Romans 8:1).
Love "Does" Kind (1 Corinthians 13)
In this lesson we continue to examine what love does and in particular kindness. What does kind mean and how is it used in regards to love? What are examples of kindness in the holy writ and how does kindness relate to the Christian faith? All are answered in this lesson. Both audio and slides can be found together at www.cmcoc.org

Sermon On The Mount Overview
Jesus taught his disciples, opening his mouth to teach them many things that brought change. He taught a change of priorities, thoughts, and hopes.

Ken Fong The Same Lord 081116
The document discusses spiritual gifts and roles within the church. It explains that there are different gifts but the same Spirit, different kinds of service but the same Lord, and different kinds of work but the same God. Each person is given spiritual gifts by the Holy Spirit to contribute to building up the church. While gifts may come naturally, roles require effort. One's constellation of gifts provides a clue to their contribution to the church and faith community. Christians should focus on stewarding their gifts for the common good rather than infighting.

The document stresses that transformation begins by renewing our mind to know God and our identity in Christ, and refusing to be conformed to worldly values and lusts. Our emotions and actions will change as
Forgiving One Another | RCCG., Living Faith Kassel
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
•“To err is man…”
•Forgiveness means to pardon, to wave punishment for offence (Matt 18:25-27)
•It is the letting go of negative feelings and attitude towards the offender
•It constitutes the foundation of Christianity
•There are no numerical limits
Mission 5 matt 18_21-35 slides 072510
This document discusses the importance of forgiveness. It makes the following key points:
1. Refusing to forgive others builds bitterness and focuses on oneself rather than God. Forgiving others shows we are open to God.
2. Holding onto hurts and resentments is harmful. It leads to acting foolishly and gives power to the Devil and those who wronged us. We must relinquish the desire for revenge.
3. God has already forgiven us much more than anyone could wrong us. We should follow God's example of forgiveness.
Restoring Relationships - Part 1
Forgiveness is not a feeling, it is a decision. It is also not about forgetting or excusing the wrong that was committed. Forgiveness is a costly decision that flows from experiencing God's grace. Christians should be the most forgiving people as they are the most forgiven by God. When we forgive others, our heavenly Father will forgive us, but if we refuse to forgive, He will not forgive our own sins. We must get rid of bitterness and evil and instead be kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving towards others.

It warns that when riches and possessions become more important than our relationship with God, we succumb to materialism. The document encourages readers to reflect on their priorities and notes that greed grows when we want things we see. It cautions that we cannot serve both God and money and that our identity depends on whether we choose to be servants of materialism or servants of God. The document concludes that God gives us material blessings to develop our character when we use them to honor him and help others.

The New Piney Grove Baptist Church monthly theme commentary for the month of May, 2016 entitled "God's Mercy".
A godly servant
The document discusses the characteristics of a faithful servant based on Luke 12:35-48. It identifies three key characteristics: 1) serving consistently rather than haphazardly, 2) handling time, talents, and treasures in a trustworthy manner for God's kingdom, and 3) not indulging the flesh. It notes that faithful servants can expect eternal rewards for their service, while unfaithful servants will be punished. The conclusion exhorts readers to always be ready for Jesus' return and find confidence in pleasing God through obedience, not rewards.
Hebrews chapter 10
The document discusses how the sacrifice of Jesus Christ provides effective worship of God. It argues that Christ's sacrifice succeeded where animal sacrifices failed by fulfilling God's ultimate will, replacing the old sacrificial system, sanctifying believers, removing sin, destroying God's enemies, perfecting saints forever, and fulfilling the promised new covenant. The sacrifice of Jesus, offered once for all, allows true worship in spirit and truth.
02 i see, i want, i take
The document discusses the dangers of greed and materialism, explaining that greed stems from coveting what we see and want more of. It outlines three steps to greed - I see, I want, I take - and recommends controlling greed through spiritual practices like Bible study, prayer, contentment and generosity. The overall message is that we should not view God's blessings as incentives for worship or expect rewards, but should instead focus on him and living gratefully.
Let Us Love One Another
John tells Christians that God displayed his love for humanity by sending his son Jesus into the world to be the propitiation for sins. In response, believers ought to love one another through sacrificial love (agape), which involves caring for others in need. This shows that Christians know God and have been born again by reacting properly to his love. Loving others allows God's presence to be seen naturally and perfects his love within believers.

3) Live a new life by avoiding past sins like sexual immorality, drunkenness, and idolatry that non-believers engage in. Believers should instead use their gifts to serve others.
4) Live in love by being hospitable, avoiding gossip

It summarizes that God has a plan for chosen vessels, with the purpose of bringing His name to the world and encouraging them. The process of making a chosen vessel is like a potter working with clay - squeezing, pounding, and shaping the clay through trials and sufferings before putting it in the kiln, then showcasing the finished vessel.

Body of Christ | Hardie de Beer | 17 April 2016
We are one body with one head in Christ and many interdependent members. But what are the values we need to embody to make this community work?
One Another - How?
This document contains a collection of "one another" passages from the Bible intended to guide how Christians should treat each other. It discusses that Jesus had different relationships with different disciples, and that God relates to people personally based on their unique gifts and relationship with Him. As such, Christians should love each other in personalized ways according to how God is loving each person, with the goal of transformation rather than superficial affection. The document analyzes the context and meaning behind many "one another" passages, emphasizing that they aim to have Christ present among His followers and require speaking truth in love, transparency, and good deeds, not just thoughts. Christians are called to specifically love and serve their close friends and family through these directives from God.
Evans, Our God is Awesome: God's Love
This document discusses the nature of God's love based on a sermon or teaching. It makes several key points:
1) God's love is the joyful overflow of his will and glory. His love is rooted in his own perfect attributes and pursuit of glorifying himself.
2) God's love is manifest supremely in the provision of salvation through Jesus Christ. It is visibly expressed in action, always sacrificial through Christ's death, and aimed at the benefit of others.
3) God's love ensures the welfare of his children, overlooking nothing in their lives. But humans may not always feel God's love if they are not living to glorify him in every area.

God calls the church to belong (connect with God and each other), grow (pursue discipleship), serve (be like Jesus), and share (spread the gospel). The document discusses belonging in depth, defining love as God's love for humanity. God's love is perfect, powerful, permanent and a gift demonstrated through Jesus.

Practical Religion Chap 7 Charity
The document examines the biblical concept of love or charity. It discusses four main points: 1) how the Bible emphasizes charity as important for salvation. 2) What biblical charity really is - it is not merely giving to others or avoiding disapproval, but loving God and others through actions. 3) Charity comes from having one's heart renewed by the Holy Spirit through conviction of sin and gratitude to Christ. 4) Charity is the greatest grace because it makes believers most like God, is most useful to others, and will endure eternally when faith and hope pass away. The document encourages practicing and teaching biblical charity.
Service in the Body of Christ 270823 Holy Light LC.pptx
Shared from Romans 12:1-8. Reminded myself and congregation the following:
1. It is God’s mercy which was the first step, worship is our response;
2. We need to allow God to transform our minds to see His perspective, or else we will be following the ways of the world ;
3. Be careful of pride, lest it makes us forget we are the followers of Christ and not the other way;
4. When we serve, we do it together as one body;
5. We also serve according to the measure given to us, there is no need to compare with others

The document discusses relating to and understanding one's spouse. It emphasizes maintaining a Christ-like attitude, spirit-controlled temperament, and word-governed behavior. This involves changing one's thoughts, perceptions, actions, and communication towards their spouse. It also involves better understanding one's spouse's thoughts, point of view, actions, and what they are saying by drawing on the power of Christ, one's identity in Christ, renewing one's mind, and walking in the Spirit. The goal is transformation in how one relates to and understands their spouse.
I pe4 1-12-temptation
The document discusses taming sinful temptations and living for God instead of human desires. It encourages believers to arm themselves with the attitude of Christ, who suffered for sins. It warns that everyone will eventually be judged for how they lived, so believers should focus on deep love for others instead of past lifestyles of debauchery. The end is near, so believers should pray, love one another, use their gifts to serve others, and do everything for God's glory.
