April 19.2015 -Sunday Message EYES FIXED ON THE LORD JESUS (message completion)
This document discusses how to "soar on wings like eagles" by keeping one's eyes fixed on Jesus. It provides four things that must be done: 1) have a strong love for God, 2) have a strong fear of God, 3) have eyes fixed immovably on Jesus, and 4) do not allow anything to distract from focusing on Jesus with undivided attention. Maintaining this focus on Jesus through refusing all distractions allows one to walk supernaturally and overcome doubts that could cause one to "sink".

It says there must be a strong right wing of love for God, a strong left wing of fear of God, and two sharp eyes fixed on Jesus. It provides examples of how to show strong love for God through obedience, choosing to remain in Him despite difficulties, loving all people including enemies, overcoming worldliness, teaching others, and loving God more than anyone else. The overall message is that a deep love for God is necessary to attain great heights in life.
Psalm 42-43
The psalmist expresses deep feelings of depression and despair as their soul pants for God like a deer pants for water. They mourn being separated from God and the joy of worshipping with God's people. Though oppressed by enemies who mock their faith, the psalmist remembers God and preaches hope to their own soul, vowing to praise God who is their stronghold, savior and joy. They pray that God would vindicate, rescue and bring them into his light and presence once more.

It discusses each of the eight Beatitudes that are listed in the Bible, including what it means to be poor in spirit, mourn, meek, hunger and thirst for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, and peacemakers.

The overall message is that those who exhibit godly characteristics like humility, mercy, and peacemaking will be blessed both spiritually and eternally.
The scriptural theme of inheritance
The document discusses the biblical theme of inheritance. It defines inheritance and notes that the theme is prominent in the Bible, appearing over 500 times.

The high priest's clothing typified how believers can be clothed in Christ's righteousness through faith to minister as priests in his coming kingdom.
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. The seminar consists of 3 sessions on March 20th, 25th and April 3rd where attendees can ask questions. The document provides background on the Bible and outlines three tests that will be examined at the seminar: 1) the unity of the Bible, 2) the accuracy of the Bible historically and scientifically, and 3) the accuracy of prophecies in the Bible.
The amalekites
This document discusses the history of the Amalekites according to the Bible. It describes how Esau's grandson Amalek was the progenitor of the Amalekite people and nation. Several biblical passages are cited that reference the Amalekites attacking the Israelites or being defeated by them. The document suggests that Saul failed to completely destroy the Amalekites as God commanded. It notes that the Book of Esther identifies Haman, the main villain, as being a descendant of Agag, the Amalekite king captured by Saul. The document analyzes the biblical theme of obedience being more important than sacrifice and connects this to Saul's disobedience in sparing Agag.

- It then provides biblical examples of how division has occurred throughout scripture according to God's will to separate people, as well as lessons about keeping separate from the world as God's ecclesia while awaiting unity in God's kingdom.
- The key events that led to the divided kingdom are summarized, including the reigns and numbers of kings in both Israel and Judah, and how they were held accountable before ultimately falling or being conquered.
Cups and cupbearers
1. The document discusses the roles and significance of cupbearers and cups in scripture. Cupbearers were trusted royal servants who tasted drinks for poison and filled the king's cup.
2. Cups represented both blessings, like the cup of blessing for communion, and judgments, like the cup of God's wrath. Important cups included those mentioned in Ezekiel, Zechariah, and Revelation.
3. Joseph's silver cup was used to test his brothers, and cups symbolized the new covenant established by Jesus's blood in the Lord's Supper. Believers must worthily partake in communion by self-examination.

The document explores related biblical passages around demons, healing, and God's power over Satan.

1. The document discusses the importance of true fellowship between believers and outlines steps that can be taken to protect fellowship, including ensuring clarity about beliefs, spending time with those of like faith, and gently addressing errors according to Jesus' teachings in Matthew 18.
2. Maintaining oneness of mind is important, and errors of teaching require separation, though with a spirit of correction, not condemnation. Forgiveness is appropriate for matters of conduct but not issues of doctrine.
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. Specifically, (1) Jesus' priesthood provides believers a better hope and way of salvation through His one-time sacrifice, (2) all believers have the opportunity to become priests like Melchizedek rather than based on birthright alone, and (3) Jesus serves as a merciful high priest who can empathize with human struggles.
Themes in the hebrews better
The document discusses themes in the book of Hebrews from the Bible. The main themes are that Jesus and his sacrifice provide something better than what came before, including a better hope, priesthood, covenant, resurrection, and outcome for believers. It notes several verses that highlight these better things, such as Jesus being better than angels, his covenant and sacrifice being superior, and there being a better country and outcome for those who have faith.
Names and titles of the lord - prince of peace
This document is the agenda for a Bible class discussing names and titles of Jesus Christ, focusing on him as the Prince of Peace. The summary discusses how Jesus will bring peace both presently and in the future, referencing several Bible passages that describe a future time of peace and prosperity under Jesus' kingdom when he returns. It also notes how there was little peace in 1st century Judea and references Jesus weeping over Jerusalem's lack of recognition that he was their Prince of Peace.

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
