Every time we hear the story of the prodigal son returning, we will be very happy that the prodigal son finally turned around. But there are many people who have different ideas in between, 1) Why did no one help him when he was very poor, 2 ) And why, when he, as an Israeli, was so poor that he had to feed filthy pigs, 3) or he was so unlucky that he could not even eat the food that the pigs could eat. So how come many people's hearts were so unbearable, but once we help, will the prodigal son had chance to turn back?
This message is Part 4 of our first series of 2017 titled, "REBOOT" by Pastor Chuck Bernal. In this message titled, "Reboot Your Finances", Pastor Chuck boils down the entire teaching of the Bible regarding finances into 8 words: Spend Less, Save More, Don't Owe, Give First - and he discusses what this means and how it works in our lives.

Exodus 20, work on the sabbath, the decalogue, the ten words, 9 commandments ...Valley Bible Fellowship
Exodus 20, Work On The Sabbath, The Decalogue, The Ten Words, 9 Commandments Are Repeated In The NT, Catholic Ten Commandments, Does God Punish The Children For Their Father’s Sins, Consequence Of Not Punishment, Sour Grapes, generational curses, Universal Seven Day Week, The Fear Of Him, Honor Father And Mother, murder
This presentation covers having to live in what you have built with regard to your home environment and God's desire to see "his way" preserved through the unified actions of husband and wife as they "construct" the home by God's plan.
Scriptural examples of falling from grace
Looking at the classic "proof" text for the "once in grace always in grace" crowd: 1 Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
The Scriptures clearly tell us that the time will come when some Christians in the body of Christ will not endure sound doctrine. All of us ought to separate the precious from the vile, the truth from the error and sound doctrine from fables. We cannot delegate this responsibility to anybody else. To this end we have been freely given the written word of God that by the grace of God through faith in his name we might be lead into all truth through the Holy Spirit.
I hope this series of meditations will help the word of God renew your mind and that you will be ready for the appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Can you remember the joy of first receiving Christ? Why is it, that as we grow in Christ we sometimes know more, but experience the joy less. It's choice. In any relationship it requires a degree of effort to keep the joy in the relationship. Lord, Please return the joy to us.
Few things are as fundamental to the abundant life Jesus came to give us than our continual commitment to being grateful in all circumstances. 1 Thessalonians 1:18 and Eph. 5:20 make it abundantly clear that God requires us to always gives thanks to Him no matter what happens because He has promised to make all things work together for good for us ( Rom. 8:28)!
Life outside of gratitude is a lie. Life outside of gratitude is poison to our soul. God will help us, but we must choose to give Him thanks as Job did in his great losses. We must allow God to be somewhat mysterious and trust Him no matter what evil befalls us. That is real faith.
wolf is coming no adultery, mental infidelity The Punishment of the World, t...franktsao4
Just like the happy couple mentioned in the previous article A185, it is mentioned that it is difficult for men and women to understand each other because of social problems. The problem of close family is to cause disagreements between each other, and more seriously, extramarital affairs. Domestic violence hits hard. And even all the marriage courses can't be saved, so the whole society is living in a wolf. It is always worried that there will be a change in marriage, but the only way out is to enter into Christ and change our hearts through the power of God, instead of living in the shadow of this horror
Jesus commands us to be anxious for nothing and to always rejoice but how is this possible? In this lesson we will discuss how to do it. Joy vs Anxiousness sermon can be listened to at www.cmcoc.org Sermon by: Brian Birdow
Darwin said, "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.”
Darwin, C. (1872) Origin of Species, 6th ed. (1988), New York University Press, New York, p. 154.
180 years later, his theory has broken down according to his own criteria! There is ABSOLUTELY NOT ONE TRANSITIONAL FOSSIL BETWEEN KINDS OF ANIMALS. DARWIN'S THEORY IS WRONG!
And his ideas have promoted racism and white supremacy more than any other single person worldwide for the past 150 years! Darwin needs to be Dethroned in our scientific and educational systems.
No one has influenced the entire world with "scientific" support for atheism, eugenics, racism and white supremacy more than Charles Darwin! It's time to dethrone him in science and in education.
Besides, his main ideas on evolution have been proven false: Absolutely no fossils to support gradual evolution between kinds of animals and molecular biology and DNA code science conclusively prove that random chance mutations could never have produced the massive complexity of life we now know exists even in one cell. Please challenge his ideas in your scientific and educational commmuities.
Here is a talk I gave on this recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QRM7mxCVFI&t=706s
I can send you the original as a Powerpoint or Keynote if you ask in the comments.
In fact, it seems like a contradiction, doesn’t it? An oxymoron: Our loving God sees the death of His beloved children as a blessing. I hope I can explain this scriptural truth well enough to convince you that God has good reasons to see our deaths as a good and precious thing.
I can tell you from personal experience and from the Bible that God is the most wonderful, tender-hearted, and kind Father anyone could imagine.
Experiencing the love of God as your Father is the birthright of every born-again Christian!
It will change your life as it has changed mine!
“They stood in their places and confessed their sins and the sins of their ancestors.” Neh. 9:2
Why: The Mosaic Covenant!
“But if they will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors—… I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.” Leviticus 26: 40-42
This message is a prophetic word the Lord has given me. Test it.
Jerusalem represents the American Church— all the followers of Jesus
The broken walls of Jerusalem represent the broken moral and spiritual foundations of the Church— broken by many sins in the Church
Through those broken walls, forces of darkness have infiltrated and corrupted the people of God
The book of Nehemiah is a metaphor for how God is rebuilding our spiritual walls and cleansing God’s people in America
God restored Jerusalem in preparation for the coming of Jesus about 450 years later
God is restoring us now in preparation for a huge national and international revival

3:32 / 13:36 Unforgiveness: One of the most Dangerous Sins a Christiain Can ...Abundant Life Fellowship
The sternest, most dramatic warnings against sin by Jesus are in Matthew 6 & 18. It is the sins of unforgiveness!
Protect yourself and your loved ones from this toxic sin!
Learn about the dangers of unforgiveness now. The world is turning against Christians more and more. Be prepared to be offended. Be ready to forgive and to return good for evil. We must! Jesus demands it. It's for our protection. Unforgiveness is a great danger.
Here's why followers of Jesus can have a confidence that is strong, consistent and holy no matter what happens to them in this life.

A message most Christians will not hear often. Some will never hear this in a church today. But persecution is coming to America—ready or not! Jesus promises us persecution. the Bible is full of examples and teaching on our call to suffer as followers of God.
Every person is made for heaven. Heaven is the home of every follower of Jesus. We are aliens here on earth. Jesus came to bring us home to heaven. What is heaven like? What can we expect there? These and other questions are addressed in this message. Live for heaven, Christian! You are headed home to heaven someday, maybe sooner than you think.
The word "God" is used about 4500 times in the Bible. In 99.9% of the time, God refers to the Father. Read these scriptures where the word 'Father' is substituted for 'God' and get a better appreciation for the loving, gentle, Father Every Christian has through faith in Jesus.
Jesus was sent by the Father to bring us back to Him. God wants a close, "Abba" daddy relationship with us like He had with Adam and Eve in the garden. They walked together int he cool of the day—as a close family of a Father and His children.
God wants all of His children to have that kind of relationship with Him. That's why He sent Jesus!
We were created to become children of God, joint-heirs of Jesus who will rule and reign with Him in heaven. Salvation through Jesus is all of that! Get to know Jesus! Glory God no with your lives and prepare yourselves to rule with Jesus forever in heaven!! Don't waste your life just living for earthly things. Prepare for eternity by loving, enjoying and obeying Jesus NOW!

This is a message of comfort. God has BIG plans for all Christians when they get to heaven. He will glorify us in ways we cannot imagine. Look at the biblical proof that God has always planned to do this for all His adopted children who come to Him through faith in Jesus!
Go here to see my comments about how this teaching differs from Mormon false teachings about God and heaven. https://www.alf.church/called-to-be-glorified/
So why do I feel that this message about being adopted by God is so foundational to the normal Christian life?
Because Jesus came to bring us back to the Father. Jesus came to show us the Father. If you’re a Christian and you don’t know the Father, you’re missing one of the main reasons that Jesus came to earth. His death on the cross was just the means to enable us to know the Father and be the adopted as his children.

The Bible and experience confirms that our personalities, values, identity and conscience are largely formed by the family that raised us. We get "spiritual DNA" from our parents and ancestors that can be good and bad. Sin patterns, dysfunctional relationship patterns and coping mechanisms run in families. This is an intro to a huge and important topic that probably should be a series. This is a topic that can open up thinking and family discussions that could help heal and protect your family. This is not a topic most churches talk about but one they need to address due to the increases of sin and dysfunction in American families today.
This is just a short message on the necessity of hearing God's voice for every Christian. God speaks to His children for the same reasons we parents speak to our children: to know who we are, Whose we are and how to live well.
In a world going mad, where can you find more comfort? This message explains how God is totally prepared to comfort His people. Here are some tips to accessing what He has for you. He truly is the God of all comfort!

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

9. 1-Heaven is Our Home
• For we know that if the earthly
tent we live in is destroyed, we
have a building from God, an
eternal house in heaven, not
built by human hands.
• For while we are in this tent, we
groan and are burdened,
because we do not wish to be
unclothed but to be clothed
instead with our heavenly
dwelling,

swallowed up by life. VS 1-5

heaven
• But all good works will be
rewarded in heaven
12. God Promises
• “… and each one will receive His own reward
ACCORDING TO HIS OWN LABOR.” (1 Corinthians 3:8)
• “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with
Me, to give to everyone ACCORDING TO HIS
WORK.” (Revelation 22:12)

who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” 3-4
• But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and
pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who
sees what is done in secret, will reward you. v.6

so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting…
and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward
you. vs. 17-18
• “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven…” vs. 19-21
14. 3-His Ambassadors

in return—just as the King of Heaven did on earth.
