Fire and Judgment 1 Peter 4:12-19, Adapted from a sermon by Clark Tanner http://www.sermoncentral.com/sermons/fire-and-judgment-clark-tanner-sermon-on-faith-102457.asp
Hey, in case you didn’t know… it’s go time. The time of waiting, stalling, and assuming that there will “always be another tomorrow” is long past! The fact is, the time to get on the field and leave everything you have on it is now! Read 1 Peter 4 to get prepped for this weekend’s message.
The lesson covers the Annunciation of Mary, and much of the story of Zacharias and Elisabeth. The source of this lesson can be found at this link:

Creative Disobedience: How, When, & Why to Break the RulesAndrea Kuszewski
The document discusses teaching creativity through creative disobedience. It argues that creativity inherently involves breaking rules to some extent. However, rule-breaking can cause problems if not done properly. The document provides several examples. It discusses how young children are naturally creative problem-solvers through experimentation but may stop being creative if shown a single solution. It also discusses how to encourage creativity in work environments like allowing therapists flexibility to modify treatment plans while still meeting fundamental goals. The overall message is that some rule-breaking and flexibility can foster creativity if done thoughtfully and within proper bounds.
This document discusses the importance of forgiveness and provides a 10-step process for achieving forgiveness. It notes that one of the devil's deadliest schemes is unforgiven wounds, and that Jesus taught forgiveness is necessary for God to forgive our sins. The 10-step process involves facing what happened, letting God in, being clear on the goal of forgiveness, reflecting on biblical passages about forgiveness, making the decision to forgive, letting a friend help, and finding freedom through forgiveness.
This document discusses the importance of forgiveness and provides steps to achieve forgiveness. It notes that unforgiveness can chain the heart and prevent one from being forgiven by God. The Bible teaches that we must forgive others for their sins against us in order to be forgiven by God for our own sins. The document then outlines ten steps to forgiveness, beginning with facing the hurt and letting God take control of it, being clear on the goal of forgiveness which is to honor and submit to God in order to be free and forgiven.

This document discusses the importance of forgiveness and how unforgiven wounds can keep us chained. It notes that our struggle is not against people but against spiritual forces, and one of the devil's most deadly schemes is unforgiven wounds, which can lead to resentment, bitterness, anger and hatred. It provides biblical passages that emphasize the importance of forgiveness for our own freedom and forgiveness by God. The document encourages examining our hearts for any unforgiven hurts that are affecting us and to pray for strength to face them, believe we can forgive through God's power and love, and ask God to lead us to the freedom that forgiveness provides.
Jesus criticized the scribes and Pharisees for not following their own teachings and instead focusing on outward appearances and honors. He delivered seven woes against them for shutting people out of heaven's kingdom, treating converts harshly, ignoring justice while focusing on minor legal points, neglecting inner purity while appearing outwardly clean, and honoring past prophets but being like those who killed them.
The passage from Psalm 34:1-8 describes how the LORD is good and how those who trust in Him will be blessed. It encourages the reader to taste and see for themselves that the LORD is good. God's goodness can be seen in creation, redemption through Jesus Christ, and the rewards of heaven. Those who cry out to the LORD will be heard, saved from troubles, and surrounded by God's protection. Blessed are those who put their trust in the infinitely and eternally good LORD.
The document discusses reasoning together and unity through love. It references scriptures encouraging walking together in humility, gentleness, patience, and bearing with one another in love. Romans 14 is cited as applying to matters where the Bible does not explicitly say to do or not do something - in such cases, people should not judge one another or cause others to stumble. The overall message is that Christians should follow what the Bible teaches, but be unified and accepting of one another.
This document discusses the biblical figures of Noah, Enoch, and their relationship with God. It notes that Noah was a righteous man who walked with God, and that Enoch walked with God for 300 years before being taken by God, having pleased God through his faith. The document suggests that Enoch must have been in agreement with God and had a willingness to conform to God's ways through his faith and trust in God.
This short document discusses the Jewish tradition of Tashlikh, where Jews symbolically cast away their sins on Rosh Hashanah by tossing pieces of bread or pebbles into bodies of running water. While the ritual originally involved literally throwing stones, it now represents casting away wrongs from the past year and starting anew. The document suggests that in a sense, people still throw symbolic stones today through this annual tradition of cleansing oneself before God.
This document discusses conflicting voices and provides guidance on whose voice to listen to. It warns about listening to the voice of passion and instead encourages listening to the voice of conscience. However, the most important voice is staying with revealed truth from Scripture. The document cautions that we should not accept any gospel other than what is revealed in the Bible and has been received by believers.
God calls Jonah to go to Nineveh and preach against their wickedness. However, Jonah flees by ship to Tarshish to avoid the call. God sends a storm that endangers the ship, and the sailors discover through casting lots that Jonah is responsible. Jonah instructs them to throw him overboard, which calms the sea. He goes to Nineveh as instructed and preaches repentance, and amazingly the entire city responds by turning to God, showing His great compassion even for heathen cities and His ability to use anyone, even the unwilling, to accomplish His purposes.
This passage from Revelation discusses Jesus' second coming. It states that:
1) Jesus' coming is a reality, as he promises "I am coming quickly" multiple times.
2) While the timing of his return is unknown, he instructs believers to always watch and be ready, since he will come unexpectedly like a thief in the night.
3) Believers should keep Jesus' words and commandments so that they may enter heaven when he returns.
Jesus diagnoses the scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites for focusing on outward appearances and minor legalistic rules while neglecting justice, mercy and faith. He criticizes them for straining out gnats but swallowing camels. Jesus also diagnoses his disciples as having little faith when they are afraid during a storm and unable to heal a boy with epilepsy. In contrast, Jesus praises the great faith of a Roman centurion and a woman with a blood disease who were healed based on their faith.
This document discusses Jesus' identity as revealed in the Bible. It provides several quotes from the gospels where Jesus refers to himself as "the bread of life", "the light of the world", and others. It then quotes passages where Peter and others acknowledge Jesus as "the Christ, the Son of the living God." Further quotes emphasize that Jesus is the source of salvation, peace, and hope of resurrection. The overall message is that Jesus reveals himself through scripture as the Christ and savior of mankind.
Human Trafficking Facts and Stats document summarizes that approximately 3,287 people are trafficked into slavery every day, with most being children sold repeatedly for sex. This hidden problem occurs worldwide, including within the United States. The document notes that due to sin, humanity is subject to hardship, corruption, and ultimate death, but promises future redemption and restoration.
Do you remember when you made the lifelong commitment to follow Christ? Kelly Campbell takes us back to that time in our lives as he concludes his "Back to our roots" sermon series.
This document discusses the concept of repentance from passages in the Bible. It describes how the people listening to Peter's sermon in Acts 2 were cut to the heart when they realized they had crucified Jesus. Peter told them to repent. The document explains that repentance means turning away from sin and toward God, and that God offers his mercy and salvation through repentance to all people. It encourages readers to undergo an ongoing transformation by renewing their minds according to God's will.
Choosing a home site takes a lot of careful thought and planning. How much thought and care do we put into choosing where to lay our spiritual foundation? This lesson brought to by Wayne Cornwell to the church at Highland Heights on February 14 explores why Jesus told us that it matters if you build your faith on sand or rock.

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
