The article discusses how the Bible can provide inspiration on various topics such as hope, strength, courage, God's love, God's promises, and life in Heaven. It cites several Bible verses to illustrate each topic. For example, it notes that Jeremiah 29:11 gives hope by stating God has plans for our welfare. Romans 15:13 brings joy and peace from believing. Isaiah 41:10 and 1 Corinthians 10:13 provide reassurance of God's strength. John 4:7-8 and Psalms 136:26 discuss God as the source of love. Psalms 32:8 and John 6:47 promise God's guidance and eternal life. Revelation 21:4 describes the end of suffering in Heaven. Finally, it finds
Gods Will - Saved
The document discusses the sovereign will and moral will of God. It defines the sovereign will as God's determined will which will inevitably happen but is mysterious. The moral will is what God desires for believers and can be discovered through Scripture, such as God wanting all to be saved. The document then summarizes James 2:14-26, distinguishing between dead faith without works, demonic faith that even demons possess in believing facts about God, and dynamic faith that transforms through works.
Self-Esteem or Christ Esteem?
What does the Bible say about "self-esteem"? In this presentation, you will learn a biblical view of God, others, and how to view ourselves.
Sovereignty of god
The document discusses the relationship between divine sovereignty and human responsibility from a biblical perspective. It argues that humans are fully accountable and liable before God for their actions and thoughts, yet God is ultimately sovereign and in control. This does not diminish human responsibility, as Scripture presents both divine sovereignty and human accountability. God uses human actions as part of his sovereign plan, but people are still commanded to obey and will be judged for disobedience.
The sovereignty of God
The document discusses the sovereignty of God, defined as God possessing supreme dominion and power over all creation. It asserts that God exercises absolute rule and control over all events, and nothing can oppose or escape his will. Examples from the Bible like Job 23:13 and Revelation 19:6 are provided to show that God remains sovereign even over evil. The sovereignty of God means there is no chance or luck - all is determined by God's will and glory.
Above & Beyond Victory
The document discusses that Christians are in a real spiritual battle against Satan. It outlines that Satan is our enemy who seeks to destroy us, and that we are up against unseen spiritual forces. However, the document emphasizes that through faith in God, every Christian can achieve victory over Satan and the world.
Study of Romans (Week 10
The document provides an overview of Romans chapters 1-8. It lists three reasons Paul wrote Romans: to share his message for preaching in Spain, to address a church problem in Rome, and to explain the unity of Jews and Gentiles. It also explains that the Williamson County Church is studying Romans to better understand the gospel and how to have proper relationships with others. The document then summarizes key points from chapters 1-8, including what Paul says about himself, the gospel, justification, overcoming sin, and the focus of chapter 8 being assurance in Christ.
The virtue of humility
The document defines humility as freedom from pride and arrogance, with a modest view of one's own worth. It contrasts humility with pride, noting that pride brings trouble, destroys character, and leads to destruction, while humility keeps God's commands. The document provides ways to develop humility, such as through self-evaluation, appreciation of others, being teachable, and helping others. It states that humility brings spiritual health, honorable living, and may help one enter heaven.

Power to change your attitude
(1) Spiritual gifts are supernatural abilities bestowed by the Holy Spirit upon Christians to enable them to carry out functions that further Christ's body. These gifts include wisdom, knowledge, faith and healing.
(2) Spiritual gifts are not innate, but are transmitted to believers by the Holy Spirit to allow them to do what they could not otherwise do. They produce spiritual results.
(3) Attitude is determined by one's thinking. A positive attitude affects relationships and outlook, while a negative attitude can be rejected. Improving one's own attitude and dealing with others' negative attitudes is important.
Keys to Revival
The document outlines the four keys to revival according to 2 Chronicles 7:14 - humility, prayer, seeking God's face, and repentance. It provides discussion on what each key means, such as humbling oneself before God through admitting needs and confessing sins, making prayer a regular practice through different acts of prayer, seeking God and His righteousness above all else, and truly turning away from sin through repentance and obedience.
The Fruit of the Spirit 1

Final lesson in the May "Fruit of the Spirit" series with Wayne Cornwell, "Let's Start a Temperance Movement"
How Do You Define Loving God?
Loving God means obeying His commandments and word, not defining love on human terms. Jesus defined loving God as being obedient to Him. There is no love of God without seeking to obey His word. The Sermon on the Mount shows how to love God by living out the beatitudes, pursuing complete obedience, and resisting lusts in favor of pursuing God's kingdom. True love of God is defined by His terms, not humanism.
Doctrine of sin
The document discusses the meaning and teachings about sin from both the Old and New Testaments. It defines sin as a transgression against divine law and moral evil from a religious perspective. The Bible teaches that sin originated with Adam and Eve and separated humans from God. While some views of human depravity differ on how much sin corrupts human nature, the Bible says all have sinned. Sin is only forgiven through Jesus Christ's sacrifice. The doctrines about sin help people understand God and his will.
Holiness
This document discusses the concept of holiness from a Christian perspective. It provides five essential elements for growing in holiness: 1) having convictions based on biblical truth, 2) making a commitment to obedience, 3) disciplining daily choices, 4) depending on the Holy Spirit, and 5) developing a God-centered desire. It encourages readers to reflect on which element is most evident in their life and which needs strengthening, then to take steps to improve the weaker area. The document stresses that holiness is about obedience to God rather than personal feelings of victory or defeat. It closes with quotes emphasizing that God's aim is to make people holy.
Romans outline 3 3 07 04 10
The Jews had objections to Paul's teachings about salvation:
1) Paul was said to twist scriptures and contradict the idea that salvation was based on Jewish heritage and tradition.
2) When Paul said being Jewish meant nothing for salvation, the Jews questioned if this meant God's promises to them were cancelled.
3) Some Jews argued that if their unbelief brought God glory, then their sin also glorified God and they should not be punished.
Paul responded that God's promises stand regardless of belief, that sin does not glorify God, and salvation does not give freedom to sin without judgment. God will judge all rightly based on righteousness, not excuses for sin.
Love the way to victory printing version images
- Love is the way to victory for Christians because love never fails and God is love. As Christians, God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
- To walk in love, Christians should exercise patience, kindness, and forgiveness toward others as exemplified by God in Christ. Loving others, including enemies, is key to being effective witnesses for Christ.
- Resolving conflicts through open communication, seeking reconciliation, and in a spirit of humility, forgiveness and without bitterness or vengeance aligns with walking in the love of God.
The good fight of faith
The document discusses how Christians should fight "the good fight of faith". It emphasizes that faith is an act that comes from hearing God's word. It provides insights on walking in victory by exercising spiritual authority and understanding opposition. Christians are encouraged to rely on their identity and position "in Christ" and fully equip themselves with "the whole armor of God", including the offensive weapon of "the sword of the Spirit", which is the word of God.
Your walk with_christ 38
This Christian tract discusses the importance of having a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ, not just doing good deeds, in order to be saved. It emphasizes that we must lose ourselves in Christ by yielding to Him completely and being filled with His wisdom and nature rather than relying on our own flesh, mind, or reasoning. Only through abiding in Christ and having our faith rooted in God's power, not human wisdom, can we walk as He did with compassion and share the gospel message. We are called to be faithful stewards of what God has given us.

The document provides guidance on maintaining fellowship with God and avoiding pitfalls. It recommends scheduling daily devotion time, praying for God's help in keeping appointments, and not being discouraged. It also lists pitfalls of the flesh like denial, indulgence, and sins of the mouth. Pitfalls of the spirit include legalism, thinking God will do everything, and extremes. The document advises on spiritual alignment and covering, and judging spiritual leadership through studying the word, checking teaching and hearts, and having counsel before coming out from under authority.
The believers authority
- Christians have authority over demons and sickness through the name and power of Jesus.
- Believers can exercise this authority through praying in faith using God's word as a weapon against the enemy.
- The document discusses discovering and exercising believers' authority, the armor of God, and responsibilities as Christians to use authority with humility, love, and for the benefit of others.
Spiritual warfare training: Battlefield of the Mind Part 3 (Pastor Ameerah)
This document summarizes a teaching on spiritual warfare and maintaining a sound mind. It discusses how the devil aims to find access points to manipulate one's mind and emotions through lies and conspiracies. It emphasizes identifying underlying lies and rotten roots from painful past experiences that have shaped one's perspective. Examining patterns in one's thoughts and behaviors can help uncover lies that are not truly one's own but are propaganda from the enemy seeking to take over one's mind. The teaching stresses that confronting lies with God's truth can unlock freedom and eradicate strongholds built upon false beliefs.
Life Group Guide: Faith Makes Us Right
The document is a study guide for a sermon titled "Faith Makes Us Right". It discusses the key points of Romans 3:22-26 which teaches that through faith in Jesus Christ, all people can be made righteous and justified by God's grace. The study guide explores definitions of important theological terms, God's love shown through justification by faith alone rather than works, and how having faith in Christ creates a desire to share the gospel with others. Participants are encouraged to reflect on these truths during communion and claim God's promises of righteousness through faith to overcome feelings of guilt.

The document is a study guide for a sermon titled "Faith Makes Us Right". It discusses the key points of Romans 3:22-26 which teaches that through faith in Jesus Christ, all people can be made righteous and justified by God's grace. The passage explains that because of our sin, we fall short of God's glory but that Jesus' sacrifice allows us to be forgiven and declared "not guilty" by faith. The study guide reflects on how believing this truth about being made right with God through faith should motivate Christians to share the gospel with others.
Dynamics In The Battlefront Of Life
This document discusses dynamics in spiritual warfare and battle based on the biblical passage of Exodus 17:10-12. It describes how Moses, as the spiritual leader, led the Israelites in battle against the Amalekites with the help of Aaron and Hur, who supported Moses through prayer and physical assistance when he grew tired. It emphasizes the importance of spiritual leadership, prayer support, and working as a team to achieve victory in spiritual battles.
10 overcome obstacles
The document discusses common obstacles believers face and how to overcome them. It identifies the world, temptation, and family as three main obstacles. To overcome the world, believers should keep their thoughts focused on God, dedicate time to spiritual things, avoid alliances with the world, stay in God's word, and win friends for the Lord. Temptation can be overcome through constant communion with the Spirit, studying the Bible, renouncing sin, and focusing on spiritual things. Family obstacles are overcome through prayer for one's family, believing God's promises, having a good testimony, and persevering to win them to Christ.
Elevating Self
The document discusses why self-elevation is wrong based on biblical passages. It notes that Jesus told a parable about a Pharisee who elevated himself by boasting about his righteousness compared to others. However, Jesus taught that the Pharisee was not justified before God and that everyone who exalts themselves will be humbled. Additionally, several proverbs warn that pride comes before destruction and that there is more hope for a fool than for someone who is wise in their own eyes. The document concludes by advising humility under God in order to be exalted at the proper time.
Self elevation
Paul warned against thinking too highly of oneself because Jesus taught that those who elevate themselves will be humbled. The Pharisee in Jesus' parable elevated himself over the tax collector by thanking God he was not like other sinners, but the tax collector who humbled himself was justified. Proverbs also warns that pride comes before destruction while humility precedes honor.

Proverbs also warns that pride comes before destruction while humility precedes honor.
At Jesus' feet
The document discusses how those who suffer, are sick, sorrow, sin, need thanksgiving, or seek truth can find what they need at Jesus' feet. It provides biblical references showing Jesus helping those who suffered, were sick, in sorrow, and sinned. It also notes one can thank Jesus or seek truth from him. The document concludes with a quote from Psalms describing the benefits one receives from blessing and forgetting not the benefits of the Lord.
The last day
The document describes events that occur on the last day when Jesus returns. It tells of warning sirens sounding and people realizing this is the end. One person wants to be baptized now realizing it may be too late. Strange things start happening and someone sees Jesus in the sky. Fires break out and people are brought before God for judgment. One person claims to have been Christian their life but is still sent to darkness, realizing God has forgotten and left them alone forever. The epilogue discusses three people not ready - one who refused to obey the gospel, one with secret sin, and one who was a hypocrite. It asks what the reader's story would be if Jesus returned right now.
Throwback uniforms
The document discusses recalling the former days of early Christianity and conforming to Christ rather than the present world. It encourages seeking the old paths by putting on Christ in baptism, conforming to him as he is changeless, and remembering God's eternal counsel. The document advocates striving to return to the apostolic times by abiding in the teachings from the beginning and accepting no other gospel than what was taught by the apostles.
Rescued-chile mine
This document uses the 2010 Chilean mine disaster as an analogy for salvation through Jesus Christ. It discusses how (1) help must come from above, like God sending Jesus to save humanity, (2) those above did the hard work of planning and executing the rescue while the rescued miners' role was relatively easy, and (3) there will be a great reunion in heaven between believers, just as the miners were reunited with their families after being rescued.
Fulfillment
Solomon attempted to find fulfillment through pleasures, possessions, alcohol, sex, family, and achievements but concluded that the only true fulfillment is found in God. The document goes on to say that fulfillment is found specifically in Christ, who is the reason for all of creation and fills believers. Christians should comprehend that as believers in Christ they are filled with peace, and only Christ can provide true and complete fulfillment.
The greatest sermon ever preached
The document discusses the qualities of the greatest sermon ever preached according to the Bible. It states that greatness is hindered by pride but attained through humility, as exemplified by John the Baptist. The greatest sermon is characterized by service, like Jesus served others rather than exalting himself. It involves giving oneself in humble service to God, like Jesus gave his life for others.
Does Jesus care?
Jesus cares deeply for those who are struggling. He understands pain, temptation, sadness, and fear. The Bible tells us that through his sacrifice, Jesus opened the way for us to bring our burdens to God. We can cast all our anxieties on Jesus, and he will help and comfort us. No matter what challenges we face, Jesus is always with us.
Six pillars of character
The document discusses building character based on having a God-centered worldview and fearing God. It outlines several elements involved in building a trustworthy character, including honesty, integrity, reliability and loyalty. It also discusses building respect, responsibility, fairness, caring spirit, and good citizenship into one's character. The overall message is that developing strong character begins with having the fear of God as one's foundation.
Becoming strong in grace
The document discusses how to become strong in grace through God. It states that grace is accessed through faith in Jesus Christ. A person can grow stronger in grace by using their God-given abilities, being humble, walking uprightly, giving, and through God's word. However, one can grow weaker by attempting to be justified by the Law of Moses, continuing in sin such as bitterness or lewdness. The conclusion encourages the reader to become strong in grace.
There they crucified him
They crucified Jesus at a place called Golgotha, also known as Calvary, which means "the skull". Roman soldiers carried out the crucifixion on Jesus, the Son of God and Lord of Glory, in accordance with the will of the Jewish leaders and as a fulfillment of scripture that he would die for the sins of humanity.
Ppc abundant life
The abundant life is an eternal life that consists of more than what is experienced on earth and has an eternal perspective. It can only be enjoyed by believing and repenting, following Christ, and being persistent, and it comes from God through his word.
great command
The document discusses the greatest commandment from the Bible to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. It explains that this means to seek God with affection, be thankful for what He has given, give your entire self to God, focus your mind on learning His word, and use all your abilities and resources for Him. The first and greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all aspects of yourself.
learning how to count
This passage discusses how to properly count or view different aspects of life according to biblical principles. It encourages counting trials as joy, esteeming others above oneself, not considering oneself as having achieved perfection, and considering all things as loss compared to knowing Christ. The overall message is about gaining the right perspective on life's challenges and priorities according to God's word.
false prophets
The document warns about false prophets who speak without God's authority, diverting people from the truth and dividing communities, with false prophets facing damnation. It encourages detecting false prophets by testing whether their teachings are consistent with God's word, as many false prophets exist in the world seeking to mislead people.
lame sacrifices
The document discusses lame sacrifices that do not honor God. It notes that while the Law required unblemished animals for sacrifice, God was more concerned with the condition of the worshipper's heart. Lame sacrifices are characterized as being half-hearted and of inferior quality, dishonoring to God. The document asks if our own sacrifices - such as prayers, songs, gifts, and service - are lame in a similar way. It concludes by emphasizing that we were redeemed through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
The ark and the church
The document compares and contrasts the biblical Ark built by Noah and the Church. It notes that both were built by God through Noah and Christ respectively, both have one builder, and both provide salvation for those within (the Ark and the Church) while those outside face destruction. The Ark and Church each have one window, one door, and serve as the family for those who are inside.
Be still my soul
God is described as a rock in the Bible, representing salvation, refuge, defense, strength, and glory. Because God is a rock, the Psalmist encourages trusting in Him alone rather than in people or money, and waiting silently for Him while pouring out one's heart.
the last chapter
The document discusses how one can make the most of their "last chapter" in life by being obedient to God, having peace and hope, and partaking in Christ. It notes that in one's final days, they can avoid simply following what seems right, disobeying the gospel, and collecting wages of sin. The document concludes that one's last chapter does not need to be "the end" if they become slaves to God, as the end can instead be everlasting life.
