This document contains summaries of passages from Matthew 5-6 and Luke 6 from a First Nations version of the Bible. The summaries highlight that Jesus teaches that God's blessings rest with the poor, mournful, meek, hungry for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, and those who are persecuted for righteousness. Commentators note that God prioritizes the marginalized and gives special consideration to the oppressed. Jesus reveals the heart of a God who loves without limit, even his enemies. The passages show that God calls people to live anticipating the kind of living we will do in the age to come.
DOCTRINE 13 - KINGDOM - PS. ALAN ESPORAS - 10AM MORNING SERVICE
The document contrasts the kingdom of men with the kingdom of God. The kingdom of men is characterized by poverty, sickness, war, corruption, and chaos.

The kingdom of God is demonstrated through Jesus' miracles and authority over demons, sickness, nature, and death. Believers now bring the kingdom of God through the church and Jesus will return to fully establish his kingdom.

C wyatt controversial issue
Polygamy is the practice of having more than one spouse at the same time. Some religions believe it is a requirement for entering heaven, while others view it as a form of adultery. Proponents argue it lowers impulse to cheat, provides support networks for women, and allows more options in a spouse. However, critics counter that it is difficult to love multiple spouses equally, promotes jealousy, makes children feel unequal, and enables a patriarchal society if many women marry one man. The debate involves issues of religious freedom versus legal and social implications.

Goodman believes the best commentary on Scripture is Scripture itself, as God's Word comes "from above" and can impart righteousness, joy and peace to believers.

Sabbath school lesson 5, 2nd quarter of 2018
This document discusses Christ's work in the heavenly sanctuary based on the earthly sanctuary model described in the Bible. It describes Christ's work in 3 phases: (1) His work in the outer court as the sin offering and Lamb of God through His death on the cross. (2) His work in the holy place as our High Priest and Intercessor, representing believers before God. (3) His work in the most holy place since 1844 involving purification and judgment.

Looking at the Big Picture
An updated version of the introduction to our gospel series "Growing Deep in the Gospel". In it we look at how Jesus, the Gospel, the Church and the Mission form the basis of the "Big Picture". If we understand the "Big Picture" we will be able to better answer questions like "What does God says life is all about?", "Why did God create me?", "What is the purpose of life?", "What is God's will for me?", and "How do I decide what is important in life?".
The Everlasting Good News
The document discusses the gospel and atonement as revealed through the Old Testament sanctuary services. It notes that the sanctuary services pointed to Christ and the plan of salvation. The gospel is presented as having three steps: (1) Christ's death on the cross provided atonement for sin, reconciling humanity to God; (2) believers experience daily sanctification and victory over sin; (3) complete salvation will come at Christ's second coming when believers are glorified and sin is removed entirely. The sanctuary services model these three steps of atonement and salvation.

Learning from the failings of a king saul - billericay 110320
Saul disobeyed God's command to utterly destroy the Amalekites, sparing King Agag and the best livestock. When confronted by Samuel, Saul made excuses but was rebuked for prioritizing sacrifice over obedience. God's spirit departed from Saul, and an evil spirit troubled him. Saul grew increasingly jealous of David's success and tried multiple times to kill him. In his despair, Saul consulted a medium to contact Samuel's spirit, where he was rebuked again for disobeying God. Saul acknowledged his sin and errors before dying in battle against the Philistines.

Proof that the bible comes from god
This document provides information about an upcoming seminar aimed at demonstrating that the Bible comes from God. It will examine the unity of the Bible despite being written over 1600 years by 40 authors, the historical and scientific accuracy of the Bible, and the fulfillment of prophecies in the Bible as evidence it is divinely inspired.

It notes that the Book of Esther identifies Haman, the main villain, as being a descendant of Agag, the Amalekite king captured by Saul.

What did jesus mean by i beheld satan fall from heaven laindon
Jesus was referring to Satan's original fall from heaven as described in scripture. When the 70 disciples returned from their mission announcing that even demons were subject to them through Jesus' name, Jesus saw this as Satan being cast down from heaven.

3. The next study will cover the future fulfillment of fellowship.
Hebrews priesthood
The document discusses the priesthood in scripture, focusing on Jesus' priesthood being after the order of Melchizedek rather than the Levitical order. It notes key differences between the Levitical and Melchizedek priesthoods and their implications.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
