Sabbath school lesson 12, 4th quarter 2019
This document discusses the problems that Ezra and Nehemiah confronted when the Israelites intermarried with idolatrous people after returning from exile in Babylon. Ezra was deeply saddened when he learned of the intermarriages and prayed in repentance. He then led the people to make a covenant to divorce foreign wives according to God's law. Similarly, Nehemiah was indignant to find that the people had continued intermarrying in his absence. He punished some and reminded them of God's command not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. The document warns that while God's grace is available, a non-believing marriage partner can hinder spiritual growth and pull one away from faith in God.

Being_a_Disciple_part4_Leadership
James and John ask Jesus to sit at his right and left in glory. Jesus tells them they do not know what they are asking, and that positions of power are not for him to grant.

True leadership means following Jesus' example of sacrificial service over positions of power and authority.

A woman of_great_faith-5-12-13_sermon
This document provides a summary of the biblical account of Jesus interacting with a Canaanite woman who begs him to heal her demon-possessed daughter. It notes that initially Jesus does not respond and his disciples urge him to send her away. However, she persists in her faith, acknowledging that even dogs eat crumbs from the master's table. Impressed by her faith, Jesus heals her daughter. The document uses this story to illustrate that there are no second-class Christians or souls, and that God desires all people to come to salvation through faith.
Isaiah 53
This document contains the text of Isaiah 53:1-6 and discusses its relevance to the Messiah and how passages from it are referenced in the New Testament. It also includes reflections on the meaning of Isaiah 53:6 ("We all, like sheep, have gone astray") from historical Christian figures like John Calvin, C.H. Spurgeon, and D.L. Moody.
A Change Of Kingdoms
We have experienced a change of kingdoms from being under sin's dominion to being under Christ's kingdom. While our sinful nature still wages guerrilla warfare, through Christ we have been freed from sin's rule and can now resist sin. We are no longer bound to sin but can live holy lives as we submit to Christ's lordship over us and rely on his victory over sin.

God's character in christmas
This document discusses why God chose to come to Earth as a baby in Bethlehem. It poses five questions: Why Israel? Why Bethlehem? Why a baby? Why a stable and manger? Why shepherds? Bible verses are provided as answers to each question, showing God came humbly as a man to identify with humanity, fulfill prophecies, and save all people from sin. The character of God is then discussed, with verses about how God preserves, leads, vindicates, and guides those who have integrity.
Your ways, your pathsoneandtwo
This document discusses the importance of trusting in God, seeking his guidance, and following his ways and commandments. It encourages acknowledging one's dependence on God, asking for forgiveness, and living humbly according to his teachings. The overall message is that proper devotion to God involves submitting to his will, trusting in his protection and justice, and making one's own paths conform to his righteous paths.
Why Did Jesus Come?
Jesus came because humanity is lost and separated from God due to sin. Sin goes against God's nature and causes suffering in the world by corrupting humanity and creation. While God allows free will, he sent Jesus to save those who are lost so they don't have to experience eternal separation from God in hell. Hell is for those who persist in rebelling against God rather than accepting his salvation and forgiveness through Jesus.
Jacob 7-11-10
Jacob fits into the biblical story as a descendant of Abraham and part of the lineage of Jesus. He was a flawed individual who was chosen by God despite his imperfections, just as believers are chosen despite their flaws.

The document asks questions about whether failures are worse for Christian leaders and discusses examples of poor leadership throughout history in the Catholic church. It closes with a prayer.

It concludes with a poem reflecting on the irrational and miraculous nature of God choosing to dwell among us as a human child.

God Has A Plan 7 Marriage
Marriage is a covenant relationship modeled after God's covenant with his people. Covenants involve intimate, committed relationships and binding promises between parties. God instructs his people not to intermarry with those from other nations, to remain separate and faithful to the covenant. Similarly, marriage covenants are to be lifelong, exclusive unions reflecting the love and faithfulness of God to his people.
The ultimate test
Using the illustration of assessments and tests, we look forward with reverent fear and joyful hope to God's final judgment of the world in justice and mercy. Because of what Christ Jesus has accomplished on the cross, we can be sure of eternal life and have nothing to worry about. He has taken care of everything - only let us make sure our faith is firmly rooted in the Unchanging One.

The document discusses the significance of the cross during the mid-day of Lent. It draws a connection between the bronze serpent lifted up by Moses to save the Israelites, and Jesus being lifted up on the cross to save humanity.

It includes the schedule of events, topics, and times for the gospel meeting. It also provides regular church information and announcements such as service times, names of elders and ministers, and prayer requests.
Faith works
The document discusses how genuine faith is authenticated. It is not merely intellectual belief but must be demonstrated through compassionate actions. True faith transforms lives and results in obedience to God's word. Faith is validated by its practical effects, not just by claiming to know God or have faith without living according to His teachings. The kingdom of heaven grows gradually from small beginnings, as Jesus explained with the parable of the mustard seed.
Sanctifying sports
This document discusses how Christians can apply biblical principles to their involvement in sports. It encourages dedicating sports to God, working as a team, and with hard work, just as Christians dedicate other areas of life like family and career to God. It also cautions that believers should play sports in a way that reflects Christ's character of mercy, kindness, humility and forgiveness. The document warns against prioritizing sports over responsibilities to the local church like regularly attending worship and Bible studies. It closes by reminding readers that God watches over all areas of life, including how we play sports.
Nahum
The document summarizes the book of Nahum from the Bible, which contains God's judgment of Nineveh. It discusses how God is jealous and avenging, yet slow to anger. It describes how God is powerful and a stronghold for those who trust in Him. It warns that God will bring an overflowing flood to utterly end those who are His enemies, and asks whether people think they can conspire against God with how they are living. It notes the book contains messages both against Nineveh and words of deliverance for Judah.

Be angry, and do not sin
This document discusses different situations where one may feel anger and provides biblical guidance for responding appropriately without sinning. It addresses being angry at someone else, one's children, one's church family, false doctrine, and one's own life. In each case, the document contrasts a sinful motivation, such as violence or destruction, with a righteous motivation, such as reconciliation, training, correction, or teaching, citing relevant bible verses to support handling anger in a wise and constructive way.
Learning to forgive yourself2
The document discusses forgiving oneself through confession of sins to God (Psalms 32:5, 1 John 1:9). It emphasizes that guilt should not be ignored, and that prayer and confession of sins to God is the solution, resulting in forgiveness and cleansing from sin. It encourages having confidence in God's faithfulness to forgive through the blood of Jesus Christ, and to press on toward Christ by forgetting past sins and reaching toward spiritual growth.
King Amaziah
This document summarizes the biblical story of King Amaziah from 2 Chronicles 25. It discusses how Amaziah initially obeyed God's commandments but lacked a loyal heart, hiring soldiers against God's counsel and later worshiping other gods after a military victory. While God continued giving Amaziah counsel through a prophet, Amaziah rejected this counsel and God, leading God to abandon Amaziah to his enemies. The document emphasizes the importance of having a loyal heart toward God rather than just outwardly obeying commands.
For we who are in this tent
The document discusses how God has prepared an eternal home for believers in heaven. While on earth, believers are absent from the Lord but aim to please him. Their temporary earthly bodies will be replaced by incorruptible, eternal, spiritual bodies. Though believers experience temporary problems and afflictions now, they are for a moment and working to produce eternal glory. The love of Christ compels believers to no longer live for themselves but for him, as he died and rose for them. Believers are called to walk by faith in eternal things, not sight of temporary things.
Useless to useful
Onesimus was a slave who had run away from his master Philemon. He met Paul while Paul was in prison. Paul encouraged Onesimus to return to Philemon, explaining that he had become a "useful" slave by becoming a Christian. As a Christian, Onesimus was now obligated to obey Philemon completely but sincerely as if obeying Christ. The book of Colossians provides context, stating that Onesimus was now a brother in the faith and part of the church in Philemon's house.
She is my sister
This document discusses Abraham's actions in telling kings that his wife Sarah was his sister rather than his wife. It provides context from Genesis chapters 12 and 20 where this occurred twice. The document then examines whether Abraham's actions constituted a lie, discusses when withholding information may or may not be justified, and concludes that Abraham implied a lie that was pre-planned in order to protect himself rather than telling the full truth. It encourages binding oneself to truth and trusting in God.
Power of prophecy
The document summarizes prophecies from the book of Daniel chapters 8 and 11. It describes Daniel's visions of a ram representing Media and Persia being defeated by a goat representing Greece. It discusses how the goat's horn was broken into four pieces representing the division of Alexander the Great's empire among four generals. The document analyzes how these prophecies from over 200 years prior were fulfilled, demonstrating the power of biblical prophecy.
Psalm 119
This document discusses several passages from the book of Acts in the Bible where Paul spoke before various religious and political leaders to defend himself against accusations. It also discusses multiple passages from Psalm 119 where the writer expresses how they will not be ashamed to speak about God's teachings before kings and that God's word gives them comfort and strength in difficult times when facing persecution.
3 passages of god's justice
This document summarizes several Bible passages about God's justice. It discusses how God will repay with tribulation those who trouble believers and take vengeance on those who do not know or obey God. It also describes how God did not spare sinning angels, the ancient world, or Sodom and Gomorrah, but delivered righteous people like Noah and Lot. The document encourages believers to be diligent as they wait for Christ's return and to persevere in following the Gospel through which God called them.
For if there should come into your assembly
This document provides guidance on greeting visitors based on a passage from the book of James in the Bible. It emphasizes showing no partiality by wealth, ethnicity, or sin, and remembering that we were all once strangers. Visitors will quickly notice any hypocrisy, so members should demonstrate that their faith has works by being doers of the word of God. The document encourages leaving one's comfort zone to greet visitors, and quotes passages about welcoming strangers as yourself. It offers suggestions for making visitors feel welcomed, such as where to sit them, sharing information, developing friendships, and introducing them to others.
His rest
The document discusses the rest that God promised for His people. It notes that the Israelites who wandered in the wilderness for 40 years did not enter the promised rest due to their disobedience. Christians can diligently enter this rest by following Jesus, who is a better mediator and leader than Moses and has obtained forgiveness of sins through his death. Believers are encouraged to persevere in faith so as not to fall as the Israelites did through disobedience.
7 biblical principles for social media
This document outlines 7 biblical principles for using social media:
1) Do not let social media become an idol that takes time away from God.
2) Be careful of adultery, as social media has contributed to divorces by sharing private matters.
3) Do not flaunt possessions on social media to make others covetous.
4) Ensure your social media profile honors your parents.
5) Post without complaining or arguing.
6) Share words that are helpful rather than hurtful.
7) Choose Jesus as your top friend rather than the influences of the world.
Elijah
This document summarizes three biblical stories involving the prophet Elijah and fire:
1) Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a contest on Mount Carmel to prove whose god (Baal or Yahweh) answers with fire. Yahweh consumes the sacrifice with fire while Baal does nothing.
2) After fleeing from Jezebel, Elijah experiences God's power through a wind, earthquake, and fire at Mount Horeb.
3) God sends fire to consume two groups of soldiers sent to arrest Elijah when the new king Ahaziah consults a false god instead of Yahweh for help after an accident.
The christian’s job
The document outlines the duties of elders according to 1 Thessalonians 5:14. Elders are to warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, and be patient with all. For each duty, the document provides guidance, such as going to an unruly person alone with love, comforting the fainthearted with scripture, helping the weak through encouragement, and being patient with leaders and those in need without growing weary.
Obedient children
This document discusses the importance of being obedient children through discussing passages from 1 Peter and 1 John about remaining in what was taught from the beginning and not being deceived. It warns about the dangers of ignorance through examples from the Bible. It also mentions resisting desires that go against God's will and the rewards of entering God's kingdom and using talents within God's law as his children as promised in the Bible.
Isaiah 51
The document discusses listening to God and awakening to his eternal salvation and righteousness. It tells believers to look to Abraham and Sarah as examples of trusting in God alone. It also speaks of God's coming justice to judge people, while his salvation is eternal. Believers are told not to fear what people say but to have strength in God. Jerusalem is told to awake, stop drinking God's fury, and be redeemed without cost.
Vigilance
The document discusses the importance of vigilance and avoiding spiritual complacency. It warns that Satan lays snares to trap people by preying on their weaknesses. It encourages believers to stay alert, not fall asleep spiritually, and to watch and pray so they do not give in to temptation. Maintaining vigilance through prayer and keeping their focus on Jesus can help believers avoid falling into traps or becoming distracted by earthly possessions.
Walk in the spirit
This document discusses walking in the spirit according to passages in Galatians and Ephesians. It encourages walking in love, as a child of light, and circumspectly as the days are evil. Quotes are provided emphasizing walking worthily of God and by the same rule. Works of the flesh like selfishness prevent inheritance of the kingdom, while the fruit of the spirit like love live through Christ and prevent conceit.

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
