"Axing the Root of Bitterness" from Hebrews 12:12-15. I'm convinced that most of us, at one time or another, have had someone that we have fallen out with. There have been times when anger has filled our hearts, & we felt that we would never be able to forgive & forget. Maybe it was a brother or sister, a parent, someone at school, a business partner, a neighbor, or simply an acquaintance. I don't know how many times I have had to ask for forgiveness, or that I have been forgiven. But there is nothing that will take the load off, nothing that will help you more, than the burden of bitterness being taken off of your heart. As someone has said, "To forgive is to live." Jesus teaches us, "To fail to forgive is to block the flow of God's blessings." Jesus said in Matthew 18:35 "This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart." When there is harshness, resentment, a spirit of retaliation or bitterness, this attitude becomes a dam, an obstacle to the grace of God so that it just simply cannot flow through our hearts. Where there is bitterness and hatred , there is "No place for Grace" bitterness, #forgiveness, #keithstonehart, #fultondalechurchofchrist

Slide 1: Title: Exploring the Mindfulness: Understanding Its Benefits Slide 2: Introduction to Mindfulness Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years. In today's society, filled with distractions and constant stimuli, mindfulness offers a valuable tool for regaining inner peace and reconnecting with our true selves. By cultivating mindfulness, we can develop a heightened awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, leading to a greater sense of clarity and presence in our daily lives. Slide 3: Benefits of Mindfulness for Mental Well-being Practicing mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety levels, improving overall quality of life. Mindfulness increases awareness of our emotions and teaches us to manage them better, leading to improved mood. Regular mindfulness practice can improve our ability to concentrate and focus our attention on the present moment. Slide 4: Benefits of Mindfulness for Physical Health Research has shown that practicing mindfulness can contribute to lowering blood pressure, which is beneficial for heart health. Regular meditation and mindfulness practice can strengthen the immune system, aiding the body in fighting infections. Mindfulness may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity by reducing stress and improving overall lifestyle habits. Slide 5: Impact of Mindfulness on Relationships Mindfulness can help us better understand others and improve communication, leading to healthier relationships. By focusing on the present moment and being fully attentive, mindfulness helps build stronger and more authentic connections with others. Mindfulness teaches us how to be present for others in difficult times, leading to increased compassion and understanding. Slide 6: Mindfulness Techniques and Practices Focusing on the breath and mindful breathing can be a simple way to enter a state of mindfulness. Body scan meditation involves focusing on different parts of the body, paying attention to any sensations and feelings. Practicing mindful walking and eating involves consciously focusing on each step or bite, with full attention to sensory experiences. Slide 7: Incorporating Mindfulness into Daily Life You can practice mindfulness in everyday activities such as washing dishes or taking a walk in the park. Adding mindfulness practice to daily routines can help increase awareness and presence. Mindfulness helps us become more aware of our needs and better manage our time, leading to balance and harmony in life. Slide 8: Summary: Embracing Mindfulness for Full Living Mindfulness can bring numerous benefits for physical and mental health.

Jude: Practical Exhortations_Jude 17-23.pptx

Stephen Palm

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.
