This document outlines the chain of authority contained in the Bible, starting with God's authority, then to Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, apostles, and finally contained in the scriptures themselves. It argues that the Bible denies being of human origin through its high and universal moral standards and relevance to all generations. Finally, it describes the personal benefits of Bible study as learning one's purpose and identity, being introduced to Jesus Christ who solves problems of death and entering heaven, and finding absolute truth, comfort, and a sense of mission.

NPGBC - Monthly Theme Commentary - March 2016
This document discusses the theme of God's grace according to the Bible. It defines grace as God's unmerited favor and his ability to forgive human sin and rebellion. Grace is a central theological theme throughout the Bible. The document outlines different aspects of God's grace, including common grace which causes the sun to rise on all people, saving grace which saves through faith as a gift from God, enabling grace which carries believers forward until completion, and sufficient grace in which God's power is perfected through human weakness.

Introduction to Survey of the New Testament
The document provides an introduction to studying the New Testament. It notes that the NT is a collection of 27 books that cover about 100 years, fulfilling Messianic prophecy and culminating in Jesus Christ's redemption of humanity. The NT is characterized as a New Covenant between God and humans, replacing the provisional sacrifices of the Old Testament with Christ's ultimate sacrifice. Authorship of the NT books is traditionally attributed to apostles and their associates who were eyewitnesses of Jesus.
John 20 1 10, resurrection
1) The document discusses the resurrection of Jesus Christ as described in the gospels and 1 Corinthians, noting that it is the best established historical event.
2) It argues that believing in the resurrection requires knowledge of Jesus' character and abilities from his life described in the gospels.
3) Philosophical rejection of the resurrection is based on assuming human knowledge is complete, rather than considering the supernatural event's historical evidence and Jesus' demonstrated nature.

Searching fortheimpossible
This document discusses various "impossible searches" related to salvation and Christianity. It asserts that salvation cannot be attained without key elements like Christ, His sacrifice, repentance, baptism, and the church. Additionally, it argues that true Christianity requires faithful service, personal sacrifice, and cannot be made fun or non-offensive. The document serves to outline what the author sees as necessary components of salvation that cannot be omitted or substituted.
02 the power of personal testimony
This document contains a series of passages about the power of personal testimony. It discusses how Jesus transformed several people's lives, including a possessed man, Mary, Peter, John, Paul, and Herod Agrippa. Their testimonies helped spread the gospel and bring others to faith. The document emphasizes that all Christians who have experienced God's salvation and daily blessings should share their personal stories with others. Knowing Christ personally is essential to being able to effectively witness about him. Sharing one's testimony can have a strong impact and even lead people to surrender their lives to Jesus.
1 general introduction to the new testament
The document discusses the language and genres of literature found in the New Testament. It was written primarily in Koine Greek between 50-120 CE. There are four main genres: Gospels which tell the story of Jesus' life, ministry, death, and resurrection with an emphasis on his passion; Acts which continues the story of early Christianity; Letters/Epistles attributed to Paul and other early church leaders; and Revelation which is an apocalyptic text featuring visions of heaven and earth. While each genre focuses on different aspects, they are all theological in nature and aim to convey the religious significance of Jesus.

Church Sermon: So What If Jesus is Alive?
The document discusses the resurrection of Jesus based on Luke 24:1-12. It describes how after Jesus was crucified, his disciples were dismayed and in hiding. However, on Easter Sunday, everything changed when the women discovered Jesus' tomb was empty. They told the disciples the good news that Jesus had risen from the dead, but the disciples did not initially believe the message. The resurrection of Jesus is the central fact of Christianity and gives believers hope now and for eternity.
Media Culture and Holiness
This document discusses spirituality and how it relates to media culture and Jesus' hidden life in Nazareth. It asks whether we can find God in today's media, and if Jesus found God in the culture of his day through parables and life at home. The document reflects on bringing us to Jesus' home, the conversation and stories there, and how holiness is manifested. It discusses communication between God and humans, and how spirituality has been adopted by new age and other religious movements in a way that is not the Christian journey.
Women of Substance 09122010
The document welcomes women to foster a community that offers their lives, talents, and passions to others with a mission-minded focus. It discusses how God used women like Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna to provide for Jesus' needs. The document also discusses how God used others to provide for Paul's needs and how having the Holy Spirit gives believers an eternal treasure. It encourages women to view their lives from an eternal perspective and discusses how that impacts their choices, circumstances, expectations, and hope. The mission is to foster a community of substance-giving women and the vision is to provide healing and liberty while nurturing gifts to be used for ministry through support, mentoring, and discipleship.
The Samaritan and The Gentile Pentecost
The document summarizes two Pentecost events from the Bible: 1) The Samaritan Pentecost which describes Philip preaching in Samaria and the Samaritans awaiting the Messiah. 2) The Gentile Pentecost which describes Peter's vision that led him to preach to the Gentile Cornelius, marking the universality of the gospel message. The document provides context and background for these two significant Pentecost events from the Acts of the Apostles.
Part02 a unit3
This document discusses the key teachings about the Kingdom of God found in the Synoptic Gospels and other religious texts. It explains that the Kingdom of God was the central message of Jesus, referring to God's authority and rule. While the term was not used in the Old Testament, the idea of God's reign was present. The document analyzes how the concept developed in intertestamental Jewish thought and how Jesus brought the Kingdom near through his words and acts. It also explores how the Kingdom is related to concepts like the Church, Eucharist, and God's reign in contrast to earthly powers.
Two Lenten Meditations for Vincentians
1) The document discusses two Lenten meditations that are important in the Vincentian tradition: meditating on the crucified Lord and meditating on the crucified Lord in the suffering of peoples.
2) It emphasizes that contemplating the crucified Lord should not be merely pious, but should lead us to serve the Lord in those who suffer today.
3) St. Vincent de Paul recognized Christ in the suffering and mobilized others to serve them, gathering both rich and poor to aid those most in need.
03 seeing people
Jesus saw each person as valuable and unique, treating everyone with special care and not despising anyone. He brought down barriers by seeing others with God's sympathy. His mission was to bring salvation to all people, including those in Samaria. We can learn from Jesus' example and from Andrew to build affectionate relationships with others in order to introduce them to Jesus. We should see others as potential citizens of God's kingdom and treat them accordingly.
Thed 2 – module 1
This document provides an overview of the New Testament, including its origins, contents, and criteria for canonicity. It discusses how the New Testament books were written within 100 years after Jesus' death, primarily in Greek. The 27 books include the four Gospels, Acts, 21 letters, and Revelation.

James: Faith that Works: Effective Prayer
The thread that runs through James 5 is suffering. But, there is a second thread that runs through James 5:13-18 ... Prayer. In this sermon we'll explore the universal need for faith-filled and effective prayer. We'll also explore the role of elders in praying for the "weak" and the use of oil as a symbol of God's presence and healing power.
The historical jesus pp
Jesus' name meant "Yahweh saves" or "Savior" in Hebrew/Aramaic. He was commonly known as Jesus of Nazareth, identifying his place of origin, or Jesus son of Joseph, naming his father. The title "Christ" meant "Messiah" or "Anointed One" and was an important early Christian designation reflecting their beliefs about him. Non-Christian historians like Suetonius, Tacitus, and Pliny the Younger also indirectly referenced Jesus and the early Christian movement in Rome in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, providing historical evidence outside the Bible for Jesus' existence.
What Is The Gospel
The document discusses what the gospel is and provides context around the origins and purposes of the gospels. It notes that the gospel message is the good news of Jesus' life, death for our salvation, and resurrection. It also explains that the gospels were written to spread this message more widely, as the apostles were dying, and provide factual material to teach new converts. The gospels can be trusted as their information can be traced back to the apostles who knew Jesus or their close associates like Mark.
Spirituality 101
This document discusses the concept of spirituality as exemplified in the Christian life. It defines spirituality as a state where the soul is vitalized by the Holy Spirit and committed to religious values. True spirituality involves continual renewal and growth in knowledge of God through Bible study and prayer. Characteristics of a spiritual person include being directed by the Spirit, imitating Christ, having a thankful attitude, and caring for others. The conclusion encourages readers to commit to becoming more spiritual by offering spiritual sacrifices to God.
Jesus Christ and Spiritual Men
Based in Port Jefferson Station and Selden, New York, Living Epistles Ministries was founded in 1988 to teach the doctrine of Christ. The organization has engaged in many philanthropic activities over the years, and it supports the Joyce Meyer Ministries and the Disabled American Veterans. One of the lessons of Living Epistles Ministries reveals that the only complete spiritual man in the world is Jesus Christ.
A Bible reference, Galatians 3:28, describes how it is that Jesus Christ is the only complete spiritual man who ever lived and that all other souls are considered female compared to his great soul, including physical men as well as physical women. While a man does have roles such as head of the family, the physical gender does not necessarily mean authority or superiority over females, in general.
Jesus Christ has the power to create “spiritual men” if he dwells in them, and a female can become “spiritually male” if Christ reveals himself to her., and gives her is male mind.

Setting the record straight
This document seeks to address common misunderstandings about Churches of Christ by clarifying their actual teachings on several topics:
1) It asserts that Churches of Christ do not teach "water salvation" but rather that baptism is part of obeying God's command for salvation and that faith and baptism work together.
2) They do believe in and follow the Old Testament but are no longer under its rules and regulations, instead being under Christ.
3) They do believe in conversion by the Holy Spirit, but that it works through the Word of God rather than direct encounters.
4) Music is not prohibited as it was under the Old Law but is a matter of Christian liberty rather than

Nicodemus, a Pharisee and member of the Jewish ruling council, comes to Jesus at night with questions. He recognizes Jesus as a teacher who performs miraculous signs and acknowledges God is with him. Jesus tells Nicodemus one must be born again of water and spirit to see God's kingdom. Nicodemus does not understand and Jesus explains that being born again is a spiritual rebirth, not physical. One must have faith in Jesus to gain eternal life and not perish. God sent his son so the world may be saved through him.

Systematic Theology 5 - Communicable Attributes.ppt
God possesses many attributes that can be described as communicable, such as spirituality, knowledge, wisdom, love, mercy, holiness, and righteousness. These attributes are explained in the document, with Scripture references provided for each one. For example, God's spirituality means He exists without a physical body, His knowledge means He fully knows all things actual and possible, and His love refers to His eternal self-giving nature towards others. The document provides an overview of many key communicable attributes of God's character.

312 A Wise Woman of Abel Beth Maakah Saves The Town
Sermon adapted from, Discovering Christ Day by Day, David Fortner

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
