The document discusses miracles in the Bible and whether they still occur today. It examines the biblical words for "sign," "wonder," and "power" to understand what constitutes a miracle. Miracles served to confirm God's message and messenger. However, the faith has now been delivered, so miracles are no longer necessary to authenticate it. While God can still perform miracles if He chooses, the document concludes they are not required today as they fulfilled their purpose.

This is the second part of a lesson discussing modern miracles. Having shown in the first lesson that the Bible teaches that miracles have served their purpose, this lesson answers how we may explain the so-called modern miracles. Three explanations: the power of the Devil, fakers, and psychosomatic illnesses.
By studying the first sign of Jesus, turning water to wine, we can clearly understand who He is. This sign teaches us that He is our creator, and that he brings us joy.
You will learn from this lesson the purpose of miracles that helps us know who we are to listen to and the importance of memorials since we tend to forget what God has done for us. Joshua and the people of Israel cross over the Jordan river on dry ground, and establish a memorial with stones from the river. Then they circumcise the men and keep the Passover.

The priests and elders asked Jesus about the authority for his actions, and Jesus replied by questioning them about the authority for John’s baptism indicating that there are only two sources of authority: heaven or man. This is vital in understanding that we too must have authority from heaven for all that we do if we wish to be pleasing to God.
Can we know the Truth? While the world argues, Jesus came as the truth, teaching us the truth that we can know. Now revealed in the Bible, we can learn the importance of the Bible to our lives: fellowship with God, understanding, partaking of the divine nature, be a complete man, and be free.
Can we know absolutely whether something is right or wrong? What is our standard of morality? The only absolute standard we can have is to look back to the one who created us and imitate Him. We know right and wrong because it is the very character of God.
"He has given us of His Spirit" Part 2Dave Stewart
In this lesson we’ll learn a little bit more about the Holy Spirit. We’ll discuss the person of the Holy Spirit, and His role in miracles, conversion and understanding the Word. This lesson was influenced by the writings of Wayne Jackson (https://www.christiancourier.com/articles/29-false-ideas-about-the-holy-spirit) and Jim McGuiggan (http://www.jimmcguiggan.com/reflections3.asp?status=The+Holy+Spirit&id=361).
Many books claim to be from God? How can you decided if a book really is from God? Here are four starting points for helping you to understand that the Bible really is the Word of God.
1 Peter 3:13-22: As Peter continues to encourage us through our exile, he reminds us that though we my suffer and come to harm, God wants to bless us. So we don’t have to fear or be troubled, we keep Jesus in our hearts as Lord, and we tell others of our hope. The example of Christ reminds us that Jesus suffered also, but was blessed.

1 Peter 2:13-3:12Peter’s exhortation to be subject to government, masters, husbands, wives, and that all of us are thoughtful of others is difficult for most of us, especially when we face suffer because of those who are unjust. Peter reminds us that because of our relationship with God, we must continue to do good, especially by sharing the good news of Jesus with them.
https://youtu.be/gHyeHRH4EPw
1 Peter 2:21-25: Peter reminds these exiles that they have two wars: their flesh and the unbelievers. So they must learn to abstain from the passions of the flesh, have honorable conduct, do good, live as free people, and endure suffering. In this lesson, we examine the example that Jesus set for us.

1 Peter 2:11-20: Peter reminds these exiles that they have two wars: their flesh and the unbelievers. So they must learn to abstain from the passions of the flesh, have honorable conduct, do good, live as free people, and endure suffering.
https://youtu.be/4ooqkyEN4p0
1 Peter 1:13 - 2:3: Because we have been ransomed through Jesus and we are anticipating the revelation of Jesus, Peter helps us understand three keys in how we spend our time in exile: 1) preparing your minds for action; 2) being sober-minded; and 3) having your hope set fully on God’s grace. https://youtu.be/QEXw_qG0SfE
1 Peter 1:1-12: Peter gives the elect exiles reasons to praise God, based on his mercy and power. It is an expression of his grace toward us and the glory he has planned for us. So that we love him, believe in him and rejoice in our salvation in him.

1 Corinthians 12:31 - 13:13: Paul teaches the Corinthians on their level of spiritual immature that love is excellent and great. He reminds them that they should pursue love because Love gives meaning, Love is altruistic, Love is strong and Love never ends.
https://youtu.be/G3l-Zhsu75k
1 Corinthians 12, 14: Paul reminds the brothers and sisters in Corinth that when we come together to worship we must be especially mindful that our individual gifts are used to build up each other.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXHOTE3LpTA
1 Corinthians 11:17-34: Paul reminds the brothers and sisters in Corinth that when we come together to worship we must be especially mindful that even in partaking of the supper we may humiliate and despise our siblings. It’s a vital warning for us to be wary of the individualism that exalts myself over brothers and sisters.
https://youtu.be/jXj7dnW5o1I
1 Corinthians 9:19: Paul reminds the brothers and sisters in Corinth that their individualism and rights are not as important as loving each other, helping each other and building each other up.
https://youtu.be/v_PszlSFQfA
1 Samuel 18:1: Jonathan and David remind us that brethren can have deep, meaningful relationships. We must be intentional, be faithful, love, and be knit. Original lesson: The Power of Friendship: Lessons from Jonathan and David. 2008 October 26

Acts 7:20-29: Moses sought to be with his brothers but they rejected him. And he was exiled. Cain refused to care for his brother, and he was alone. But it’s not good for man to be alone. Why do we slip into the thinking of Cain so easily and find ourselves alone? Being brothers is not easy, but let brotherly love continue.
Of all the metaphors for believers, the one most often used in the NT is “adelphos” (siblings, brothers and sisters). After Jesus’ ascension the company who gathered in the upper room consisted of both men and women, and Peter calls all of them brethren. In Acts 15, both Jewish believers and Gentile believers are called brethren.

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
