We live in a a dark world filled with evil spiritual beings who want to kill, steal and destroy our happiness and relationship with God. Jesus faced many spiritual battles, so does every person. Every Christian is a soldier who needs to know the enemies tacts, how to defend himself and how to attack. The Bible reveals all this critical information.

Who is Jesus? Is He merely a man? Or, is He God who "became" man? If He is God incarnate, God who so completely identified with us that He put on our flesh, then His death on the cross and His blood alone is sufficient as payment for our sin against a holy God.
Presentation on the topic "Resurrection of Jesus" . Contains word study of the word "resurrection", harmonization of the Gospel accounts and historical evidence for the death, empty tomb and post-mortem appearances of Jesus.
The New Testament concept of love is different from ours. Love means choosing to do what is best for the object of the love. We are to love our God, our neighbor, our enemies and our selves.
Here are the notes from my sermon on July 8, 2018. We looked at why we should make Jesus known and how we can do that. In the last part of the sermon, I focused on how we can share our testimony.

Being transformed in your mind (Romans12) means rethinking your self image. Those who have placed their trust in Jesus are in Christ. This is a fundamental change. Our identity is now who we are in Christ. The New testament has many descriptions of who we are in Christ and we need to live on the basis of these statements and not by what the world tells us were are or should be.
The word heart appears more than 800 times in the Bible but what does it mean? The heart is the totality of who I am, body, soul and spirit. past experiences especially traumatic experiences can create wounds of the heart. Rejection is a very common wound of the heart. There are two principles ways a wound of rejection is managed by trying to be good enough to gain acceptance (perfectionism) and by rebelling against the system denying the need for love and acceptance. In Jesus we can find acceptance and healing.
The Courageous Soldier of Jesus in the End Times (2 Tim. 4:1-8) - Preparing f...Francis Hernandez
"I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching." (2 Tim. 4:1-2)
Ang Mensaheng ito ay naganap noong Enero 14, 2021 (Youth Night) sa Faith Bible Chapel Philippines, International Ministries, Inc. sa Canubing I, Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro. Ang Sermon ay ibinahagi ni Ptr. Francis S. Hernandez.
Walking by faith” means acting on what you believe.
Your belief system determines your behaviour. Explore what is a stronghold in the mind and how to build new ones using God's Word.
Jesus died so that all who believe in Him can receive the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit. Jesus tells us that if anyone asks to receive the Holy Spirit he will receive. The Holy Spirit is a good gift from the Father. Why would anyone hesitate to receive a good gift from God that Jesus suffered and died to make available.
Acts is one of the most action packed books of the Bible. Luke describes the spread of the gospel from Jerusalem to Rome The challenge of Jesus to take the gospel to the ends of the earth was impossible with out the power and leadership of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is mentioned 43 times in Acts more than any other book.
John's gospel was written around 90AD. He assumes his readers know the basic facts of Jesus life. His purpose is to highlight that Jesus was and is the Son of God and that belief in Him will give eternal life.
Written as a systematic history of Jesus birth death and resurrection. Luke's Gospel was written so that any reader can be certain of the facts of Jesus life. Luke shows the activity of the Holy Spirit preparing the way for the gospel.
Mark's gospel was written under the shadow of persecution. It is filled with action and only a small amount of teaching. It shows Jesus suffered and was victorious.
Matthew's gospel provides the link between the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Bible. He shows how Jesus' life fulfilled the prophecies concerning the Messiah. The key word for this Gospel is "Fulfilled". Matthew records Jesus' public teaching.
To understand and know who we are in Christ we need to know understand how God sees us. The problem is that most people have a false idea about what God is like that has been created by past experiences especially what they were taught or experienced as a child.To know the truth of who we are in Christ requires us to know the truth about what God is really like as revealed in the Scriptures and supremely in Jesus.
Bible records may examples of supernatural miraculous healing through God's power working through a person. Jesus demonstrated God's power to heal, cast out demons and raise the dead. Jesus commanded His disciples to do the same. The power of the Holy Spirit flowing through a man or woman is available today to to carry on the work of Jesus.
E tell others about Jesus because we are excited and full of joy and want others to experience the same. Everybody is on a spiritual journey either toward god or away from God. The love of Jesus can be seen by what we do, what we say and and the demonstration of the power of God to heal and answer prayer.The most powerful testimony is the way we live our lives.
Who is the Holy Spirit? Jesus died to make available to all believers the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a person part of the Godhead. The Holy Spirit is the Guide, the Helper, the Comforter and the Counselor. He makes available to believers the power and character of Jesus.
Want wants to speak to us. We need to ask Him and train our selves to recognize when God communicates with us. There are seven ways He normally communicates with us. His voice, His written word, Your heart, prophecy, dreams, visions or circumstances.
The bible has proven to be an integrated message system written by more than 40 authors over more than 1500 years and contains information and predictions that can only come from a Divine Being. The Bible says it is from God and proves it by many accurate predictions of events and people. Therefore it is the most important book that can ever be read.
Prayer comes out of relationship with God. Jesus gave us a template to show us how to pray to our heavenly Father. The vital ingredient for any relationship is time. Unless we invest time in a relationship it does not grow but fades. The time we spend with the Father is never wasted.
Based on the Alpha course. Faith is acting on what we believe is true and will happen. Three factors enable us to have faith, the promises of God in the Bible, the reputation of God in the past and the testimony of others and personal experience. Small steps of trust lead to bigger steps.
Why did Jesus have to die? The Law of God is the penalty of sin is death. God can not change this without changing Who He is. Jesus comes to each person offers to take their sin in exchange for His righteousness. He then had to die our punishment for sin so that we can receive the righteousness of God.
How you talk to people about Jesus depends on what they already know.
There are four great facts that must be communicated. He was completely human. He was more than a great teacher. He overcame death. Your spiritual encounter with Him today.
Wealth and Eternity Part 2: 2 Treasures, 2 Perspectives, 2 MastersResurrection Church
In the sermon on the Mount, Jesus spoke of two treasuries: our treasury in heaven and our treasury on earth, warned of the importance of seeing life from God's perspective and the urgent need to choose to serve God or Mammon will by default become the master of our life.
Wealth and Eternity Part 4: The Battle Against Materialism.Resurrection Church
Jesus' parable of the rich fool (Luke 12:13-21) is a picture of a materialist: Someone whose ambitions and plans are centred on this world and possessions. He took no thought of God or eternity. To win the battle we must constantly keep in mind that each person is a steward of what God has given them. Every steward will have to give an account to God of his or her stewardship.
Money and possessions are a fundamental part of our lives.
We need to know what the Word of God has to tell us about how we are to use them.
Giving is a life style. The first 10% belongs to God. This is called a tithe. All other giving is freewill offerings. Giving is an investment into our eternity.
Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

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.

2. “Be self-controlled and alert.
Your enemy the devil prowls
around like a roaring lion
looking for someone to
devour. Resist him, standing
firm in the faith, because you
know that your brothers
throughout the world are
undergoing the same kind of
sufferings.” (1Peter 5:8–9, NIV84)

3. • "Devil" is an English word
which comes from a Greek
word which means
“Accuser”.
• Satan is a Chaldean word
which means exactly the
same; “Accuser”.
• An accuser is some one who
always points to what you've
done wrong.
• The Accuser tries to pull
believers down, make them
feel guilty and destroy their
faith in God.

4. •Jesus warned His
followers:
•“The thief comes only
to steal and kill and
destroy;
I have come that they
might have life, and
have it to the full.”

5. The testimony of the Bible:
• The devil, (Satan), was a powerful
angel called Lucifer.
• He became filled with pride.
• God threw him and all the
angelic beings who followed him
out of heaven.
• Man was created to rule God's
creation under His authority.
• When Satan tempted man and he
rebelled against God, the earth
fell under Satan's control.
• The earth became “this dark
world”.

Thursday, 28 May 2015
6. • “For our struggle is not against
flesh and blood, but against the
rulers, against the authorities,
against the powers of this dark
world and against the spiritual
forces of evil in the heavenly
realms.” (Ephesians 6:12, NIV84)
• The "Rulers," "Authorities" and
"Powers" that Paul describes
are the different orders of evil
spiritual beings under Satan.

7. • Jesus entered Satan's dominion of
darkness,“this dark world.“
• When Jesus died on the cross as
sacrifice for all sin He provided a
way out of the dominion of
darkness.
• When Jesus rose from death He
demonstrated His supreme
power over Satan.
• “For He has rescued us from the
dominion of darkness and
brought us into the kingdom of
the Son He loves,”(Colossians 1:13, NIV84)

8. • Jesus gave believers His authority
and His power to rescue more and
more people from Satan's dominion.
• ‘Jesus came and told His disciples,
“I have been given all authority in
heaven and on earth.Therefore,
go and make disciples of all the
nations, baptising them in the Name
of the Father and the Son and the
Holy Spirit. Teach these new
disciples to obey all the commands I
have given you. And be sure of this:
I am with you always, even to the
end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18–20, NLT)

9. • Believers face spiritual opposition.
When we seek to obey God, to
worship Him and to spread the
good news we are like soldiers in
enemy territory.
• When you became a christian
Jesus released you from the prison.
• When you join the soldiers fighting
against the enemy you will be shot
at by the enemy.
• When you are filled with the Holy
Spirit you become a strong soldier
with powerful weapons so the
enemy will try to target you.

10. • It is highly unlikely that any of us will
receive the personal attentions of
Satan.
• There are many evil spirits (demons)
under Satan who will try to make
your life very difficult if you let
them.
• When we are under spiritual attack
we are still responsible for our
actions.
• We cannot blame the devil if we fall
for any temptation.
• If we fall for a temptation and sin we
need to confess our responsibility
and ask the Lord for forgiveness.

11. How Does the Enemy Attack Us?
• Tactic #1 - Spiritual blindness.
“Satan, who is the god of this world,
has blinded the minds of those who
don’t believe.They are unable to see
the glorious light of the Good News.
They don’t understand this message
about the glory of Christ,Who is the
exact likeness of God.” (2 Corinthians 4:4)
• Counter attack:
“I pray also that the eyes of your heart
may be enlightened in order that you
may know the hope to which He has
called you, the riches of His glorious
inheritance in the saints,” (Ephesians 1:18)
11
Thursday, 28 May 2015
12. How Does the Enemy Attack Us?
• Tactic #2a - Doubting God’s Word.
This was the way Satan started his
attack on Adam and Eve "Did God
really say . . .”
• The devil cannot change God's
word but He will do all He can to
make us doubt the truth of the
Bible or its application to us
personally.
12
Thursday, 28 May 2015
13. How Does the Enemy Attack Us?
• Tactic #2b - Doubting God’s
Love for you.
• The tempter will play upon
your feelings of rejection or
unworthiness.
• Counterattack - read the Bible.
“But God, being rich in
mercy, because of the great
love with which He loved us,
even when we were dead in
our trespasses, made us alive
together with Christ.
(Ephesians 2:4–6, ESV)
13
Thursday, 28 May 2015
14. Counter attacking Doubts
• Talk about your doubts to
other believers.
• Receive encouragement
from others.
• Small groups are important.
• Tell God your doubts.
• Confess to God "Lord I find
this hard to believe and
accept. Please help me".
“Lord, I believe; help my
unbelief!” (Mark 9:22–24, NKJV)
14
Thursday, 28 May 2015
15. How Does the Enemy Attack Us?
• Tactic #3 - Accusation
• The enemy will still try to
make us feel guilty even after
we have confessed to God and
been forgiven.
• Counter attack - The Bible.
“In Him we have redemption
through His blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according
to the riches of His
grace” (Ephesians 1:7, NKJV)
15
Thursday, 28 May 2015
16. • Paul strongly encourages all
Christians to put on the protection
that God has provided and the
weapons he has given us.
• “Therefore, put on every piece of
God’s armour so you will be able
to resist the enemy in the time of
evil.Then after the battle you will
still be standing firm. Stand your
ground, putting on the belt of truth
and the body armour of God’s
righteousness. For shoes, put on
the peace that comes from the
Good News so that you will be
fully prepared.
16
Thursday, 28 May 2015
17. • In addition to all of these, hold
up the shield of faith to stop
the fiery arrows of the devil.
Put on salvation as your
helmet, and take the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of
God. Pray in the Spirit at all
times and on every occasion.
Stay alert and be persistent in
your prayers for all believers
everywhere.” (Ephesians 6:13–18, NLT)
