Heavenly Revelations, Earthly Difficulties
Paul recounts a vision he had 14 years prior where he was caught up to the third heaven and heard inexpressible things. He shields himself from pride by referring to this experience in the third person. Paul qualifies himself as a legitimate Apostle by citing both supernatural experiences and the difficulties and sufferings he endured for the gospel. He finds comfort in God's message that His grace is sufficient, and that God's power is made perfect in weakness.

Redefining Faithfulness, Pastor Rick Paladin
The document summarizes key passages from 1 Kings and Matthew about faithfulness. It discusses how David charged Solomon to be faithful to God's commands before he died. It also references passages about being faithful with responsibilities and rewards. The document then summarizes parts of Acts that show how the early church redefined faithfulness by overcoming obstacles, allowing Gentiles in, resolving disputes, and planting churches across the world. It stresses that growth requires increasing productivity for God's kingdom, not just adding volume. The summary encourages redefining faithfulness by having a clear why, what, and how.
"Great Expectations" by Bro. Mel L. Maldupana - Cruzada Church of Christ Sund...
Has this happened to you? A friend says, “You just have to see this movie – it’s the greatest movie I’ve ever seen. You’re just got to see it.” So you go to that movie, and your level of anticipation is so high that the film just doesn’t quite measure up. Later, you realized that you spent time and money to something that isn’t worth it.
When Empty is Better Than Full
This document discusses how Easter is about the empty tomb of Jesus and his post-resurrection appearances according to scripture. It argues that emptiness can be a positive thing that allows for preparation, grieving, healing, assessment, risk-taking, surrender, and hope. Each stage of Jesus' story involved emptying himself, and emptiness can motivate change and lead to new life through yielding and being filled.

My chaos is covered
Bishop Earnest L. Palmer gives a sermon titled "My Chaos is Covered" where he discusses how chaos, defined as confusion and disorder, is inevitable in life but that believers can find protection and guidance from Christ, who as the Shepherd and Overseer of souls keeps believers from going astray and manages the chaos in their lives so they can stay focused on God's blessings.
Coffee cupverses9
The document discusses how to study the Bible and gain confidence through Christ. It examines Philippians 4:13, where Paul says he can do all things through Christ who strengthens him.

Stewardship and reward
This document discusses the rewards that await believers for their stewardship and works on Earth.

The Tension In The Journey.2333.Web
The document discusses the tension that exists between prayer and God's sovereignty. It notes that while God is absolutely sovereign, He still invites believers to pray to Him and promises to answer prayers. This creates a paradox that the human mind cannot fully understand. However, believers can find intimacy with God through prayer, aided by the Holy Spirit who helps them pray according to God's will. Prayer is both an obligation for Christians and a way to glorify God.

John 6 5000
Jesus reveals his character and abilities through miraculously feeding thousands with just a few loaves of bread and fish. He understands people's needs and uses small resources to meet great demands, showing his power and care for others. The passage encourages trusting Jesus with one's life, as he is able to take what little one has to offer and multiply it to satisfy many, and protect and provide eternally, like the Passover lamb.

The only solution to sin is accepting Christ as our savior.

Nathan, Meron & Rediet Fekadu
This document contains several quotes and passages from the Bible and other sources on topics such as faith, humility, truth, and God's love and guidance. Some of the key ideas expressed are that believing in Jesus and God will lead to salvation; we should transform our minds and submit to God's will rather than conforming to the world; and that God makes our paths straight when we trust in Him with all our heart.
Eyes That See From God's Perspective
God sees all things perfectly with his divine vision. Isaiah had a vision of God on his throne surrounded by angels calling him holy. This vision led Isaiah to feel condemned but also to volunteer to serve God. Jesus referred to this story as a way to explain that some will see but not perceive the kingdom of God. Other passages discuss looking to God for protection, looking to Jesus to lift us up, looking within to check our spiritual well-being, and looking to serve others rather than just ourselves. Maintaining a godly vision of the future is important for persevering, as is keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus.
Biblical Parenting
The document outlines seven principles of biblical parenting:
1. Put God first as the number one priority
2. Love your children and spouse unconditionally
3. Empower children to build competence through appropriate challenges rather than trying to be perfect parents
4. Show no favoritism among children
5. Teach the true value of wealth is in God, not material things
6. Set clear boundaries with consistent discipline tailored to the child's age
7. Be a role model who teaches God's word through words and actions
The power for biblical parenting comes from love, prayer, faith and the Trinity, not from parents alone. A quote illustrates how neither piety nor impiety are necessarily inherited between generations.
The Call To Follow Well
The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of leaders and followers in the church. It states that God raises up and guides leaders to equip others for ministry and service.

When issues arise, followers can go elsewhere if needed, follow their conscience on gray areas, and provide input to leaders. The goal is to maintain unity, humility, and peace in the church body.

It states that God uses fear as a tool, like a carpenter, and that people are made by God, not by their own courage or strength of will. It also discusses passages where Jesus urges or commands his disciples to get in a boat during a storm, questioning their fearfulness. The overall message seems to be that having faith in God can help overcome fear and that fear can prevent one from seeing what God is offering.
Attribute of hope
The document discusses the biblical story from 2 Kings 7 about how King Jehoram of Israel reacted with anger and hopelessness to a prophecy of future prosperity, while Elisha and others maintained hope in God's word. It highlights how God often answers prayers in unexpected ways using unlikely sources, and how maintaining an attitude of hope even in dark times can lead to recognizing God's answers when they come.
Attribute of justice
This document appears to be a collection of loosely related quotes and figures from the Bible and history. It includes a quote from Romans about civil authorities bearing the sword as God's ministers to execute wrath on evildoers. It then lists some famous law enforcement figures like J. Edgar Hoover and criminals they pursued. It draws a parallel between Abraham Lincoln and the biblical figure Jephthah, noting ways they were similar. It also includes information about General Daniel Sickles. The document does not provide much context or connection between these various pieces of information.
Attribute of faithfulness
This document discusses God's attribute of faithfulness through several Bible passages. It notes that while men can be faithless, God remains faithful and that it is better to trust in God than in man. The Bible contains stories of faithless men who were still used by God. God's faithfulness cannot be denied. Additional passages discussed include 1 Kings 17, Hebrews 11, and Proverbs 11:24 about generosity leading to riches.

It notes that while men can be faithless, God remains faithful and that it is better to trust in God than in man. The document encourages trusting in God, citing passages that discuss God moving faithless men and blessing those who trust in Him. It concludes with a passage from Proverbs about generosity leading to riches.
Attribute of grace
The document discusses the biblical letter of Philemon. It was written by Paul to Philemon, a pastor, asking him to accept back Onesimus, Philemon's runaway slave. Onesimus had become a Christian after meeting Paul in prison. Paul pleads for Philemon to forgive Onesimus and treat him not as a slave but as a brother in Christ. The document emphasizes God's grace and the importance of forgiveness.
God's attribute of wisdom
This document discusses the attribute of wisdom in the Bible. It defines wisdom as foundational and necessary to navigate life. True wisdom comes from fearing God and asking Him for wisdom. In contrast, worldly wisdom is described as self-seeking, envious, boastful, sensual and demonic. God's wisdom is characterized as pure, peaceable, gentle and full of mercy. The document encourages seeking wisdom, which walks as Jesus walked and has many benefits like preserving, honoring and adding years to one's life. Wisdom is portrayed as a learned process involving controlling appetites, keeping one's word, and evaluating motives.
The best witness
This document contains excerpts from speeches given by Billy Graham when receiving the Congressional Gold Medal in 1996. In the speeches, Graham says that America has gone down the wrong path and needs God's help. He acknowledges that all people are sinners but that Christ's sacrifice offers forgiveness to those who accept it, though it will cost them to follow Him. The document also contains contrasts between the wisdom of this age and God's wisdom, and messages communicated by the world versus God's message.
Anatomy of a pure heart
This document provides a summary of Acts chapters 24-25. It discusses Paul's hearing before Felix in Caesarea, where the high priest Tertullus accuses Paul of causing trouble. Felix delays making a decision. After two years, Festus replaces Felix as governor. When Paul appeals to Caesar, Festus discusses the case with King Agrippa. Paul declares his innocence and tells of his vision and mission to the Gentiles. The king is almost persuaded to become a Christian.
A cross to bear
The document discusses how every cross given to a person by God has certain characteristics and serves as a teacher. It states that a cross teaches sacrificial love, focus, submission, wisdom, boundaries, and reveals God. It also notes that through enduring one's cross, a person can gain success through failure, comfort through hardship, strength through weakness, wisdom through confusion, and new life through dying daily.
Peace amid hysteria
The document discusses peace amid hysteria from Acts 22:1-29. It contrasts life with and without God's Word. With God's Word, one finds conversion, wisdom, joy and enlightenment, while without it leads to hysteria, confusion and lack of reason. It notes historical examples of "uproar". It encourages understanding God's will through Scripture and finding revival through God's Word when afflicted for keeping it, as maintaining peace requires removing hysteria through reason and sobriety of mind found in following Christ.
Heart of a shepherd
This document discusses themes from Acts 21:1-14 related to having a shepherd's heart like Jesus. It notes that as Christians traveled with Paul from Macedonia to Jerusalem, Paul warned them that imprisonment awaited him in Jerusalem. However, the Christians encouraged Paul to continue his ministry, trusting that God's will would be done. The document emphasizes that a good shepherd, like Jesus, is willing to sacrifice and care for their flock.

Vision 2020
This document provides an annual review and celebration for a church, summarizing their activities and finances from 2019. It highlights that the church held over 600 gatherings for worship, teaching, prayer, outreach and ministry. Financially, they had total income of $595,114 and expenses of $631,069. They supported multiple local and international missions through giving over $131,969. The review celebrates 21 years of the church's heritage and their purpose of glorifying God through teaching, worship, fellowship and outreach.

God's team mission
This document discusses the importance of teamwork and faithfulness. It references several Bible verses about how everyone has an important role to play and how God looks at the heart rather than outward appearances. It also quotes former U.S. President Calvin Coolidge saying nothing is more powerful than persistence and faithfulness. The document promotes working together as a team for God's mission.
Call me blessed
The document discusses several Bible verses about God's ways being higher than human ways and thoughts. It notes that while people may see circumstances as bad, God could actually be at work through those circumstances. The overall message is that God's plans and reasoning are beyond human understanding.
The unfolding story
This document discusses chapters 18-19 of the Book of Acts, focusing on Paul's journey and the people and events that shaped his story. It provides a timeline of Paul's first visit to Corinth and Ephesus from 49-50 AD. The document also discusses key concepts in 1 Corinthians and Ephesians like unity in the biblical community.
Sacrifice and virtue
The document discusses Paul's journey and prolonged stay in Corinth as described in Acts 18. It emphasizes that the degree of virtue attained is equal to the degree of sacrifice one is willing to make, citing passages from Romans and Ecclesiastes. It provides context about Paul's travels between cities like Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens before his first visit to Corinth around 49-50 AD.
His story
1) Paul continues his second missionary journey, traveling through various regions to spread the gospel, including Troas, Macedonia, Galatia, Bithynia, Asia, Mysia, and Phrygia.
2) In Philippi, Paul encounters a slave girl who can predict the future, but Paul casts out the spirit of divination from her, angering her owners. Paul and Silas are arrested and beaten.
3) An earthquake frees Paul and Silas from prison, and the jailer and his family are converted after Paul explains that they must believe in Jesus to be saved.

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
