For the Love of Good Mission Study Session IIWendy Whiteside
This document discusses "missing persons" in the world who suffer from poverty, injustice, and suffering. While their situation makes God weep, God cares for them and sees them as not strangers. The church is called to practice hospitality and justice as a witness of God's care and welcome for all people in the world, regardless of difference.
The document outlines the proposed administration structure for the Young Adult Ministry of the Northeast American Diocese, including a director, secretary, treasurer, and parish representatives. It then discusses several faith formation objectives and series, including understanding repentance from dead works. Repentance is defined as a change of mind and return to God that involves remorse, resolution, and restoration, accepting responsibility for sins through humility and orienting oneself towards God. It is a permanent action that brings joy and is a gift requiring tears.
Holiness as a process involves both an instantaneous event and a gradual process. At conversion, positional holiness is secured instantly through the cleansing work of the Holy Spirit. However, practical holiness involves a process of being made holy that begins at conversion and is completed in glory. This process involves cooperating with the Holy Spirit to learn obedience and purity through continually putting off sin and putting on righteousness.
1. Every Christian family is called to be a blessing and center of influence through reflecting Jesus' love and kindness to visitors in their words and actions.
2. Families should make time for regular worship together to share their faith, as Andrew did by bringing his brother Simon to meet Jesus, and as was important for Jewish families in Deuteronomy.
3. By imitating Christ in attitudes like affection, education, conflict resolution, and treatment of others, Christian homes can become channels of life-giving power and a blessing to society, even with imperfect reflections of Christ.
This document discusses the concept of holiness from a biblical perspective. It begins by defining holiness as being set apart for God. It notes that only God is inherently holy, as He is perfectly moral and separated from imperfect humans. The document then discusses how both divine and human agency can help a person become holy. Through the presence of the Holy Spirit and through human surrender to God, a person can be sanctified. Living a holy life brings many rewards both on earth and in heaven. Some practical rules for living holy include praying, reading the Bible, dedicating one's life to God, and obeying His word.
The document discusses holiness as one of the pastoral priorities for the new millennium according to Novo Millennio Ineunte. It defines holiness as the high standard of ordinary Christian living, the perfection of charity, and doing the will of God. The document argues that holiness is for all Christians, not just a few, and can be achieved through everyday actions and avoiding sin. It provides biblical support for the call to holiness and explains that the Catholic Church is holy because it was founded by Jesus Christ and has the means to make people holy through the sacraments and other spiritual practices.
This document discusses holiness in the New Testament through four examples: as an event, process, state or condition, and quality. It explores biblical passages about believers being made holy by Christ and calls Christians to present their bodies as living sacrifices. The document contrasts seeing things imperfectly now with perfect clarity later, and says Scripture equips believers while abiding in Christ enables doing God's will, though nothing can be done without Him as He forms Christ in believers.

This document discusses the doctrine of sanctification. It defines sanctification as being set apart from sin and unto God. Sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit in making believers holy by implanting Christian graces and destroying sinful affections. It is not the same as moral virtue or religious practice alone, but is a supernatural, divine work that progressively makes one holy through faith in Christ, the Word, prayer, fellowship and other means. The signs of sanctification and a summons to pursue it are also outlined.
Paul calls himself a "bond-slave of Jesus Christ" and an apostle "set apart" for preaching the gospel of God. He felt called by God to this role before his conversion, and afterward dedicated himself fully to serving God and spreading the message of the gospel. Paul saw preaching as both an honorable duty given to him by God, and a humble form of service. His mission was to faithfully deliver the message he was commissioned to share.
This document discusses the importance of being rooted in Jesus Christ. It provides several Bible passages from Colossians that explain why we need to be rooted in Jesus. Colossians 1:15-17 describes Jesus as the exact likeness of God, the creator of all things visible and invisible. Colossians 1:18-20 states that Jesus is the head of the church and through his death on the cross God made peace and brought all things back to himself. Colossians 1:21-23 says that without Jesus we were separated from God as enemies, but through his death we have been made holy and brought back to God without flaw through faith in Jesus. The document emphasizes staying rooted in Jesus rather than following other
The document discusses end times living and priorities for Christians based on biblical passages. It outlines four priorities: (1) thinking clearly and with self-control through prayer, (2) excelling in love for others, (3) offering hospitality without grumbling, and (4) serving others with the gifts God has given through faithfully administering His grace. The author believes Christians should live with hope for Christ's return and serve Him each day until His coming.
This summarizes a women's retreat being held at Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside, California from April 24-26, 2020. The speaker will be Rev. Dr. Tracey Davenport and her topic is based on 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Registration opens on February 2nd online and costs $200 per person with some half-scholarships available. For more information one can contact Peggy Baker.
The document discusses the different types of baptism mentioned in the New Testament, including: 1) the baptism of John the Baptist, 2) the baptism of suffering of Jesus, 3) baptism in water, and 4) baptism in the Holy Spirit. It defines baptism as submerging a person totally in water, representing their union with Christ. The importance, requirements, and benefits of water baptism are outlined, including identifying with Christ's death and resurrection, the example set by Jesus, and receiving the Holy Spirit.
HOIA No.5: God's plan of Salvation, Part 1MyWonderStudio
God's plan of salvation, decided before creation, was motivated by His love for humanity. Knowing humans would sin, God devised a way to save all through His Son's death on the cross. Jesus' sacrificial death satisfied God's holy and just nature, while also demonstrating His love, mercy and grace. By His death, Jesus acted as a substitute/ransom to redeem humanity, turning away God's wrath and reconciling humans to God through propitiation.
Jesus respected and treated everyone with dignity, moving them towards God's kingdom. The document discusses how Jesus went through Samaria to preach despite hostility, planting truth that later bore fruit. It emphasizes finding and congratulating the good in people to strengthen their faith. Christians should accept others as God accepts us, with love, and teach truth in love to captivate hearts and lead people to Jesus. Kindness, even to the unthankful and evil, reveals the royalty of heaven.
This document discusses the importance of the Sabbath and how it can be used to strengthen one's relationship with God. It describes how God instituted the Sabbath at Creation and invites people to spend the day learning about Him. The Sabbath helps people put God first by prioritizing time with Him over work and pleasures. Jesus showed that the Sabbath should be a blessing, not a burden, and the early church used it as an opportunity to share their faith. Proper observance of the Sabbath cultivates love for God and others.
The document discusses the doctrine of salvation, including what salvation is and is not. It states that salvation is solely found in Jesus Christ and his work, not any human actions. It then outlines the process of salvation, including election by God, effectual calling, regeneration, conversion through repentance and faith, justification, and eventual glorification. It addresses common objections to the doctrines of election and reprobation. The key aspects of regeneration, conversion, and justification are also explained in detail.
The document provides an overview and discussion of Colossians 3:1-11 from a weekly Bible study class. It summarizes the key points of the passage, including that Christians should seek heavenly things rather than earthly desires, consider their sinful nature as dead, and practice their new identity in Christ by becoming more like Him. The purpose of the Christian life is to love God fully, and believers are motivated to live for Him through their faith in His power and goodness.
John warns us that even though we may think we are children of God, we can fall away from the faith. How do we know who a child of the devil is. First they practices sin, second they do not practice righteousness, and finally, they do not love their brother.
Conviction vs. Complacency (Acts 17:1-15)Josh Weidmann
In this message, we look at the Macedonia journey that Paul and Silas took in the first century, as recorded in Acts 17. From their life we can see the importance of conviction when facing opposition. The Christian life is not a life of complacency or laziness but one of transformation and resolve.
This document discusses what it means to become a Christian. It explains that going to church does not make one a Christian, but that one must respond to Christ through repentance and faith. It outlines the gospel call, including explaining the facts of sin, death, and Jesus's sacrifice for sins. It emphasizes that believers are called to share the gospel with others, though it is God who makes the message effective. It also discusses justification as God declaring believers righteous through faith in Christ, rather than works, and adoption as believers becoming God's eternal children through salvation.
The passage describes Jesus appearing to his disciples after his resurrection. He shows them his wounds and breaths the Holy Spirit onto them, telling them that if they forgive sins, they are forgiven, and if not, they are not. It then discusses the need to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit rather than using its power for our own purposes. God's mission is through the church, not vice versa. It asks how we need the Spirit's help with our fears and in living out God's call in everyday life. Further passages discuss the Spirit strengthening and empowering believers and equipping them with different gifts to serve each other.
This document discusses God's way of salvation according to the Bible. It outlines the five steps as: 1) Hearing the Word, 2) Believing the message, 3) Having an attitude of repentance, 4) Confessing surrender, and 5) Baptism in water. It provides biblical references to support each step. Examples of salvation are provided from Acts. False doctrines like infant baptism are addressed, noting that baptism requires faith while infants do not have faith.
The document discusses what it means to be holy according to 1 Peter 1:13-2:1. It means that believers should think differently by focusing their minds on God, live differently by conducting themselves with reverence, and love differently with sincere, deep, and pure love for others. It also means speaking differently by ridding themselves of wickedness, deceit, envy, and slander. Being holy involves transforming one's mind and way of living to align with God's holiness. The document encourages examining one's own thoughts, actions, love for others, and speech to ensure they honor God.
The document discusses Romans 10:4 and what it means for Christ to be the end of the law. It provides three explanations: 1) Christ is the goal or purpose of the law, 2) Christ fulfills the law, and 3) Christ is the end of the law as a means of salvation. It then discusses how the ceremonial law helps us understand Christ's ministry and sacrifice, though we no longer need to keep it, and how the moral law shows us God's will and our sinfulness. The document goes on to discuss Romans 11 and whether God has rejected Israel, how some were hardened but the elect obtained salvation, and how the fullness of the Gentiles and salvation of all Israel will come about through accepting

Salvation is deliverance from sin and its penalty of eternal death, which is freely given through God's grace when received by faith alone. Grace is God's unmerited favor and love shown to sinners. Truth is found in God's word, the Bible, which reveals that Jesus paid the price for all sins of the world through his death. Faith appropriates what God has already freely provided through grace alone - that forgiveness and salvation are gifts, not dependent on works.

The document discusses the authorship, purpose, and themes of 1 John. It was likely written by the apostle John in Ephesus between AD 80-95. The purpose was to strengthen the readers' faith in Christ and assure them of eternal life. Key themes are that God is light and love. John warns against sin and false teachers. The document provides an outline and overview of the contents and main points of each section of 1 John.
The document contains multiple summaries of the key points in John 1:16 about Jesus being the treasury of saints from which believers receive grace. It discusses how Jesus and his followers both saw his divine glory, and how the followers rightly inferred from Jesus' works and claims that he was the Son of God. It also examines how believers receive an abundance of grace and gifts from Christ's fullness, including love, holiness, and excellencies, and how believers reflect Christ's grace in their lives through their union with him.
This document provides a summary and analysis of 1 John 2:1-2. It discusses how Jesus was the greatest sacrifice by being the atoning sacrifice for our sins and for the sins of the whole world. It explains that Jesus is our advocate with the Father and the propitiation for our sins, meaning he appeases God's wrath and turns it away from us. Having Jesus as our advocate and propitiation encourages us to not sin and recognizes our liability to sin despite being good people, while also providing gracious forgiveness for when we do sin.
Jesus was the source of grace, mercy and peaceGLENN PEASE
The document discusses an epistle written by John to an "elect lady" and her children. It provides context on the greeting and discusses three main topics:
1. The saintly character and distinguished privilege of the elect lady, who was eminent for her piety and honored to receive a letter from an apostle.
2. John's declaration of love for the lady and her children, explaining that it was a sincere love based on their shared faith in truth.
3. John's expression of confident wish that they may enjoy blessings of grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Jesus Christ. Truth and love were the conditions for receiving these blessings.
This is a study of Jesus as the promise of life. It was Paul's mission in life to preach the good news that there was eternal life in Jesus Christ. It was God's promise.

This is a study of Jesus as the source of grace upon grace. Out of His fullness we have an abundance of grace unmatched by any other source in the universe.
Religion Answers To Life Questions 282Santosh Mote
The document is an introduction to the Basic Christian website which provides free theological resources and information about God, Jesus Christ, heaven, and eternal life. It includes a list of theological topics covered on the site such as adoption, angels, baptism, born again, Christ, church, commandments, faith, forgiveness, and many others. The document encourages studying theology by piecing together biblical concepts like a puzzle in order to gain an understanding of God and Jesus. It provides an example of how definitions, verses, and commentary are used on topics.
The document examines the difference between true and counterfeit Christianity. It discusses how joy is a supernatural delight in God rather than being dependent on circumstances. True Christians worship God spiritually rather than relying on outward religious acts. The passage in Philippians 3:1-3 contrasts those who are religious but not righteous with the true circumcision who find their identity in Christ rather than outward marks.
The document examines the difference between true and false Christianity. It discusses how joy is a supernatural delight in God, unlike happiness which depends on circumstances. True Christians worship God spiritually and find confidence in Christ rather than outward religious acts. Paul warns the Philippians about false teachers who only appear religious outwardly but lack inward righteousness. He uses the example of circumcision, which for Jews was an outward mark but failed to represent the deeper spiritual cleansing and nature change it was meant to symbolize.
Jesus was power made perfect in weaknessGLENN PEASE
This is a study of Jesus being power made perfect in weakness. P:aul/s thorn in the flesh made him weak, but it also led to greater power in serving Christ.
The document discusses how the concept of fearing God has diminished in modern Christianity. It argues that liberal theology in the 18th-19th centuries, along with cultural shifts like urbanization and Darwinism, contributed to losing the biblical understanding of God as both loving and wrathful. Now, few Christians see themselves as "God-fearing" and the idea of fearing punishment for sins does not factor into most people's faith. The document advocates returning to teaching about properly fearing God as a foundation for holiness and deterrent against lawlessness.
This is a study of how Jesus is our lawyer in the court of heaven, and because he has paid for our sin we gain through Him the freedom only He can provide.
We are not talking one God among gods, or an alternative among various paths. To call people from among the Gentiles is to call them from other religious or worldly paths and to the obedience of faith in Jesus.
The document discusses various styles of evangelism that congregations and individual Christians can employ. It describes the confrontational style which directly presents the law and gospel message, the conversational style which focuses on developing friendships as a way to naturally share the gospel, the collegiate style which provides rational arguments for the Christian faith, the conformational style of sharing one's personal testimony, and the come and see style which invites unchurched people to church events to encounter the gospel. The pastor's role is to equip Christians in these various styles and provide opportunities for evangelism in the congregation.
Based on Respectable Sins by Jerry Bridges, this lesson looks at the remedy for sin, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Christians tend to forget that the Gospel is for sinners and that they still qualify as such. This lessons talks about how to deal with sin in your life and how to preach the Gospel to yourself each morning.
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.

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

10. The English word “ martyr ” is an almost direct transliteration from the New Testament Greek word, martus , which originally meant “ a witness .” It was especially used in the early church to signify those who were witnesses of Jesus Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection, and consequently many of the apostles died giving their testimony of their Lord. In current usage it usually means one who is killed for refusing to renounce their religious faith, practices, and beliefs.

19. There are a lot of “missing persons” in our world today whose situation of poverty, injustice, and suffering makes God weep. The missing persons are not strangers to God, for God already has reached out to care for them. Yet they are strangers in the world who need to know God cares through the witness of a church that practices a ministry of hospitality and justice.
