Finding Jesus
The document discusses how to find Jesus. It says that while some say Jesus does not exist, others are interested in finding him. It then provides biblical references showing that people should seek Jesus with diligence and their whole heart. It notes Jesus pre-existed, was prophesied about, and was proven to have come as the leader and savior. The document concludes that Jesus can be found through studying scripture and coming to him, and that his message should be taught to all so they can be saved.
Prayer
The document discusses the importance and nature of prayer. It argues that to pray is to be burdened for others like Nehemiah was for Jerusalem, to be broken in humility like Daniel, and to be bold in persistent prayer like Jesus taught. It also means believing that God is powerful enough to affect any situation and that prayer can open doors or provide answers. The overall message is that prayer should be a priority and that believers should always pray and not lose faith that God will respond.
Blessed are the_poor_in_spirit
- Poverty of spirit refers to realizing one's spiritual bankruptcy and utter dependence on God. It means humbling oneself before God with a broken and contrite heart, emptying oneself of spiritual pride.
- One who is poor in spirit has a broken and contrite heart, is humble without spiritual pride, and is fully dependent on God. It is the foundation for the other beatitudes and leads to salvation and spiritual maturity.
- To become poor in spirit requires listening to God, beholding and drawing near to Him through studying Scripture and seeking Him daily, in order to truly face God and feel one's poverty of spirit in His presence.
Essentials of ministry
In this presentation, Pastor Dexter Tagwireyi highlights important areas that every Christian is called to minister to.
Sabbath school lesson 12, 3rd quarter of 2016

3) Examples from Paul's ministry in Corinth show adapting to the culture while maintaining principles to save people for Christ.
Journey Through The Bible: Micah - The Promised Messiah
Micah lived at the same time as Isaiah and best known for his prophecy that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. This prophecy is sandwiched in the middle of prophecies about the coming judgment. Micah's prophecies initiated a great revival of faith under King Hezekiah. Micah tells us what the Lord requires of all people to receive His mercy.
Bite Sized Spirituality
This document discusses how to increase one's perception of God in daily life through small, incremental steps. It encourages the reader to see God's presence everywhere, understand His attributes like omnipresence and omniscience, include God in daily activities like meditation, and grow one's relationship with Him through daily Bible study and obedience. The overall message is that perceiving God more fully is a gradual process of regularly taking "bite-sized" steps in one's spiritual life and deepening one's understanding and experience of God each day.
The God of Hope
Lesson by Mike Smith How can you focus on God? Remember what the God of Hope... that is Jehovah teaches us! Learn what the Creator should mean to us concerning hope.

Exalt the Lord
This document discusses the importance of constantly praising God with an attitude of worship. It emphasizes making a daily decision to praise God and bless Him through life, song, adoration, thoughts, giving, loving, helping, and sharing. It also highlights spreading knowledge of God's greatness to future generations through personal responsibility and teaching others about His glorious honor, majesty, works, goodness, righteousness, grace, compassion, and mercy. The results of praising and teaching about God are that His memory and righteousness will be uttered and sung abundantly now and into the next generation.

THIS WORLD HAS NOTHING FOR ME
This document discusses the major decision of faith and lessons from Moses' example of faith. It summarizes that Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, chose to suffer affliction with God's people over Egypt's pleasures, and looked to the heavenly reward. By faith, Moses stood for justice, thought God would use him to deliver Israel, forsook Egypt without fearing the king's wrath, and endured invisible to his heavenly Father. The document encourages walking by faith like Moses, knowing this world offers nothing but Jesus does.
Are you ready for the wedding? 121014
The document summarizes a sermon about Jesus' parable of the wedding feast in Matthew 22:1-14. The parable tells of a king who invites guests to his son's wedding feast but they refuse. When the servants are killed, the king destroys the murderers and invites everyone else. One man comes without a wedding robe and is thrown out.
The sermon reflects on how people reject God's call and how we should accept the invitation but also come prepared in the proper attire. It encourages the congregation to rejoice in God, not worry, and think on things that are true and honorable. The conclusion exhorts the congregation to engage God as a family through prayer and helping one another
Word of Life, December 2011
This document discusses the Advent season and the figure of John the Baptist who calls people to prepare for the coming of Jesus. It says John the Baptist's message from Isaiah was to prepare the way of the Lord by removing obstacles from one's life through changing direction, overcoming temptation like Jesus did in the desert, and conforming one's will to God's will moment by moment. Living this Word of Life means preparing for the Lord to enter one's life by straightening the paths of one's life.
What does it mean to preach Jesus?
1 Cor 1:17-18 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Act 1:8 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
The ministry of_intercession
Prayer is an important ministry that benefits both God and others. It allows us to praise and serve God as our High Priest. Prayer is also how we ask God for help in times of need and bring our requests to Him with thanksgiving. Additionally, prayer is a ministry for others as we can pray on their behalf and access God's power through prayer to do good for others. The document provides guidelines for an effective prayer life, suggesting that prayer should be purposeful, reaching out to God, abiding with God continually, and yielding ourselves to God's will.

2015.3.15.主恩典,愛中相遇,何等恩典
This document contains the lyrics to several Christian worship songs and hymns in Chinese, as well as the Lord's Prayer. The songs praise God's grace, express a desire to follow God and dedicate one's life to Him, and ask God to cleanse and attract the singer to run after Him. They contain refrains of praise and worship. The document also includes the lyrics to the Doxology hymn and concludes with "God Bless You."
Mindfulness & Meditation!
Rom 8:5-8 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Understanding hebrews
The book of Hebrews argues that Jesus is greater than the prophets, angels, Moses, Israel, the Sabbath, priests, the tabernacle, and the old covenant. The author is unknown but possibly Barnabas, Apollos, or Paul. The audience is Hebrews facing questions about continuing Jewish customs or following the new teachings of Jesus. The book emphasizes that Jesus' sacrifice was once for all, replacing the old sacrificial system with a new, perfect covenant through his death on the cross.

The document discusses the relationship between love and obedience based on several biblical passages. It says that in the passages, loving God means keeping His commandments.

However, if anyone does not love God, they do not keep His words. The document also discusses doctrines of revelation, dispensations, and the Ten Commandments and their presuppositions.
What is Restoration?
The document summarizes a biblical passage from Numbers chapters 17 describing an event where Moses was instructed by God to take a staff representing each of the 12 tribes of Israel. He wrote Aaron's name on the staff of Levi and placed them in the tent before God. The next day, only Aaron's staff had sprouted, budded and blossomed, demonstrating that Aaron and his lineage would be chosen as the priestly line.
Simon's talk
The document discusses various aspects of prayer including why prayer is important, examples of people in the Bible who prayed, what prayer is, how to pray, when to pray, and the benefits of prayer. It provides lists of people in the Bible who prayed, what prayer consists of, things that can be included in prayers, how prayers should be offered, and times that are good for praying.

We live in an hour when God is calling His people into a place of continuous worship and intercession, that will result in a great harvest of souls.

BC&D-5: Followers of Christ
Study on Romans 12:1-2:
The Daily Surrender of a
Disciple/Follower of Christ
SUMMARY: The entire first 11 chapters of Romans are applied starting with these verses.
I CAN DECIDE TO LET GO: v.1 “present” is in the aorist tense and means a final action, we go back to and remember.
I MUST DIE DAILY: v. 1 “living sacrifice” this is a present active verb. This means I renew this once and for all decision, all day long, as I go through life. Tied to the altar daily.
MY LIFE MATTERS TO GOD: v. 1 “holy and acceptable” explains what flavor God wants in our lives: “holy” and the goal of life is driven by loving Him so much we want to please Him “acceptable to God”.
MY FIRST CHOICE: v. 2 “do not be conformed” this is the first imperative application in this section of Romans that applies truth to the lives of believers. This word means: God doesn’t want our lives shaped by His enemy (the world).
MY LIFELONG GREAT TASK: v. 2 “be transformed” this is the great word morphed. God explains that all transformation starts with a renewed mind (anakaino). The tense is present (constantly/ongoing) and passive (God does it to us) ana = back again; kaino = new; God resets our minds back to His Way by applying His Word to my life by His Spirit
GOD CONFIRMS HIS POWER IN ME: v. 2 “prove” this word dokimadzo means ‘proof after testing’. We will find the proof of God at work in us as we test out the “reset” button for our minds. Allow Him to renew us, and when He does, He proves Himself to us.

This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

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.

Increase your ability to teach others (Rom. 10:13-15).
- 5. What You Can Do In 2014 Plans for congregational involvement. Acts 2:46-47: A key to success is our relationships. Ephesians 4:11-13: Body of Christ is built up. Congregation will grow based on that which every joint supplies (Eph. 4:15-16; Rom. 12:6-8; I Pet. 4:10-11). Each of us have gifts from God—use them! God’s hand is always with us (Acts 11:21). It will be an exciting year for you and us if you want to make it an exciting year.
