Lifelines Sermon 10 (English)
The document discusses how faith is leaving behind a testimony through life and references biblical figures who did so including Abel, Enoch, Noah, and Abraham. It provides verses from Hebrews 11 discussing how these individuals lived by faith and "condemned the world" through their decisions and actions. The concluding questions prompt reflection on how one's own life can become a testimony to others based on choices in worship, lifestyle, ministry, and decision making.
Living a God pleasing faith
This document discusses living a God-pleasing faith according to Hebrews 11:1-10. It provides examples of Abel, Enoch, and Noah who demonstrated their faith through worshipping, walking with, and working for God, respectively. It also discusses Abraham, who demonstrated faith by waiting on God and making his home in the Promised Land as a stranger. The document teaches that faith is seeing what is unseen and pleasing God, and encourages believers to have the same kind of living faith through worship, obedience, service, and patience.
The ascent
The ascension of Jesus is a monumental event in history. This ascension was predicted by Jesus himself! It proves Him to be the Son of God and our intercessor between God and man. Because He ascended into heaven, it affirms His promises to us of eternal life.
The Faith of Enoch
What are three things you would like said in the eulogy given at your funeral? Or, what are three things you would most like to be remembered for? Why is life sometimes described as a journey and a relationship as a “walk” with someone? What does it mean to walk with God? Describe your walk with God.
When did Enoch begin walking with God? What event precipitated your journey with God? Explain. Did Enoch die like all humans or did God take him to Heaven before he died because he walked with him? How is God’s taking Enoch a type or picture of the rapture or the believer’s resurrection?
The power of prayer
The document discusses the effectiveness of prayer through several biblical examples. It describes how Elijah's prayer for fire to consume a sacrifice was answered, while the prayers of false prophets to Baal went unanswered. Daniel is presented as a model of faithful prayer, continuing to pray regularly even when banned by the king. The document encourages praying with faith, believing that God will answer according to his will. It suggests prayer should include requests, but also adoration, confession, thanksgiving and praise.
Domingo Triplets Dedication
The document celebrates Allen and Kim's birth of triplets - Faith, Hope and Charity - after a long journey trying to conceive that involved fertility treatments. It discusses their belief that having children was God's plan and quotes several Bible verses for inspiration. It details Kim's full-term pregnancy with the triplets against doctor's advice to reduce the number of babies, and shares photos of the happy family of five praising God for answering their prayers.
The Discipline of God
The document discusses the discipline of God. It notes that God disciplines believers for their good so they can share in his holiness. While discipline is not pleasant, it produces righteousness and peace for those who endure it. The document urges readers to persevere in their faith with endurance, fixing their eyes on Jesus, who endured the cross for the joy of bringing many to salvation.

Ssm Romans Week 10 Slides 110109
This document contains 17 points about faith and God's promises to Israel. The key ideas are:
- Faith comes from hearing the Bible, so increase faith by increasing Bible knowledge.
- God hardened Israel for rejecting grace, and once a person rejects God's way they add confusion.
- God will fulfill his original promises to Israel in the future, even though they currently reject him.
- Obeying God ensures blessings happen on time rather than being delayed. Bible doctrine is meant to ignite seriousness for God, not just be categories in the brain.
JUNE , 2015- Sunday Message-STRONG FAITH IN GOD
The document discusses faith from several biblical passages. It describes faith as being sure of what is hoped for and certain of what is not seen. It provides examples of people in the Bible who demonstrated faith, including Noah building the ark, Abraham obeying God's call to leave his home, Abel offering an acceptable sacrifice to God, Moses leaving Egypt without fear of the king, and the walls of Jericho falling after being marched around.

The document discusses the concept of hope from a Christian perspective. It provides several Bible verses that discuss hope and define it as a permanent trust in God, rather than positive thinking.

EPHESIANS WEEK 3-PTR.JOVEN SORO-4PM AFTERNOON-SERVICE
This document contains a sermon about perfectionism versus being a saint. It discusses how perfectionism can be harmful by defeating initiative through procrastination, damaging relationships, and destroying happiness. It then explains how to become a saint through realizing God makes you holy, enjoying what God has decided, letting God handle things, acting in faith rather than fear, and exchanging perfectionism for God's holiness. The conclusion is that a saint is remorseful over sin but powerful over sin because they are made holy by God's grace.

Jehovah Jireh - The Eternal Power of Sowing and Reaping
This document discusses the principles of seed-faith giving based on the biblical examples of Abraham and Elijah. It states that having faith requires sowing your seed through donations like tithes and offerings, with the expectation that God will reward your faith with a harvest.

Abraham sacrificing Isaac and Elijah praying for rain are cited as illustrations of faith working through action and being answered by God.
Destined to Overflow - Tobie Verreynne - 8 January 2017
The document summarizes three things that can drain our destiny: complaining, compromise, and complacency. It cites C.S.

To avoid a destiny drain, the document advises letting go to allow God to overflow us from his source rather than our own efforts.
EPHESIANS WK2 - PTR. FERDIE-TAGUIANG - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE

Learning from the dreams in the bible
God spoke to Joseph, the carpenter, in 4 dreams to guide him in protecting Jesus and Mary. The first dream told Joseph to marry Mary. The second warned of Herod's plan and told Joseph to flee to Egypt with Jesus and Mary. The third instructed them to return from Egypt after Herod's death. The fourth dream warned about the region under Herod's son's rule, guiding them to Galilee. Joseph obeyed God's messages delivered in dreams, demonstrating the importance of listening to and obeying God's instructions.
Unless you believe
Hebrews 11:1 says faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the conviction of things we have not seen. Our belief (faith) determines much. The Bible teaches that unless you believe, you will: lose heart, not hear God's instructions, not be prepared for judgment. Jesus said in John 8:24, "if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." Our faith is the basis for our relationship with God.

Hebrews Chapter 11
This document provides a summary of key passages from Hebrews chapter 11. It describes how Hebrews 11 highlights the faith of many biblical figures like Abel, Enoch, and Noah. For each, it summarizes what their faith led them to do - Abel offered sacrifices to God, Enoch walked closely with God, and Noah built an ark by faith despite not seeing the flood. The chapter then discusses other biblical figures like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses who also demonstrated faith through important actions in their lives, trusting in God despite obstacles.
Action Figures Hebrews 11
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things unseen. The men and women of old gained approval through faith. By faith, Abel offered a better sacrifice than Cain and was declared righteous. Enoch walked with God by faith and was taken up to heaven without dying. Noah built an ark by faith when warned about a flood. Abraham lived as a stranger in the promised land by faith. All these people died without receiving earthly promises but saw heavenly things by faith and confessed to being strangers on earth while seeking a heavenly country prepared by God.
Romans 4 18 to 24 outline 01 02 2011
This document provides a summary of Romans 4:18-25 and discusses Abraham's faith in God's promise to make him the father of many nations despite being old and his wife Sarah being barren. The summary is:
1) Abraham believed God's promise against all human reasoning and his and Sarah's inability to conceive naturally.
2) Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness, showing that justification comes through faith, not works.
3) The passage teaches that if believers have faith in God, who raised Jesus from the dead, their faith will also be credited as righteousness.

It provides examples from the Bible of individuals who demonstrated great faith, such as Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, and others. It asserts that those who will have the faith of Jesus are those who keep the commandments of God. Faith is portrayed as an active response to God's word that makes the impossible possible by seeing the invisible as visible.
MY STORY 4 – PTRA. LUCY BANAL – 6:30PM EVENING SERVICE
The document discusses Abraham's response to God's call, highlighting three key points:
1. God called Abraham to leave his home and follow Him, promising to make Abraham into a great nation and bless all people.
2. Abraham obeyed God despite uncertainties, trusting in God's promises.
3. The document encourages readers to have faith in God's calling and promises by taking steps to follow His will, even when unsure of outcomes, as Abraham did.
Unwavering - Faith & Waiting
The document discusses Abraham's long wait of 25 years to receive God's promise of a child with his wife Sarah, despite their old age. It notes how Abraham continued believing and obeying God during this long waiting period. It also discusses how Abraham initially tried to fulfill the promise through Sarah's servant Hagar, rather than waiting for God's plan, and how we should embrace God's plan even if it differs from ours. The document encourages waiting faithfully on God's promises and trusting that He will fulfill them in His perfect timing, even if they seem impossible.
061001 Faith Is ... Hebrews 11 1 7 Dale Wells
Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Faith is demonstrated in the lives of several biblical figures. Faith responds to God's revelations and is patient, leaving the fulfillment of promises to God. Faith finds its hope and security in the unseen present and unrealized future according to God's promises.
Faith
The document discusses the concept of faith according to the book of Hebrews in the Bible. It defines faith as being the evidence of things unseen. It then provides examples from biblical figures like Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and others who demonstrated great faith in God and were commended for it. The document encourages the reader to have faith in God and states that if these biblical heroes could please God through faith, then the reader can do the same through believing in God and trusting in His promises.
The Faith Of Jesus Christ
THIS IS URGING GOD'S PEOPLE TO HAVE THE FAITH OF JESUS. JESUS HAD PERSISTED IN FAITH. HE DID NOT HAVE TO DIE; BUT HE DID.
Commendation
The document discusses faith and commendation from God. It references several Bible verses from Hebrews 11 that define faith as the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. The document lists many Old Testament figures that are commended for living by faith, including Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, and Samuel. It states that God commends those who have faith in him.

Spiritual senses
The document discusses how Christians can exercise their spiritual senses through practicing their faith, similar to how physical exercise strengthens the body. It outlines the spiritual counterparts to the five physical senses - taste, hearing, sight, smell, and touch - and provides Bible verses for how to develop each spiritual sense through regular spiritual practices like reading Scripture, prayer, worship, and acts of service. The overall message is that believers should make an effort to continuously train and strengthen their spiritual faculties just as they would their physical senses.
Tongue
Most study on the tongue looks at all the bad things the tongue can do. This lesson looks at the proper uses of the tongue.
Fellowship everyone
The document discusses whether groups should fellowship with other denominations. It raises four questions: 1) Should we abandon logic since doctrines contradict each other? 2) Should we abandon our convictions to appear less arrogant? 3) Should we abandon scripture since some see it as outdated or open to interpretation? 4) Can there ever be unity among believers while maintaining logic, convictions, and scripture? It argues that while unity is desirable, it cannot come by abandoning these foundational principles of Christianity. True unity is founded on agreement with the teachings of Christ.
Virgin
Why don't we study more about the birth of Christ? The virgin birth of Jesus is an important part of our faith.
Anemia
The document discusses spiritual anemia, or spiritual weakness, in Christians. It notes that churches in the New Testament had weak members, as mentioned in passages from Romans, 1 Corinthians, and 1 Thessalonians. The symptoms of spiritual anemia include being weak in resistance, appetite, exercise, estimate of one's abilities, and conscience. The proper attitude toward the spiritually anemic is to not despise them, but rather bear with them and admonish them gently. Spiritual anemia is considered bad because it is willful, contagious, and has eternal consequences.
Where is the joy
The document discusses where joy has gone in the Christian life and provides explanations and solutions. It suggests that sin, Satan, and society can bind and blind people from experiencing joy. However, Christians have reasons for joy in their salvation through forgiveness and redemption by Christ, in worship where God's presence and teaching are found, and in service working for God and with other believers to win souls. The conclusion calls Christians to allow God to restore their joy through his Spirit so they can teach others and sing of his righteousness.
Where are you
God asked Adam where he was. God knew. Adam needed to know. Do you know where you are in your relationship with God?
Tried
Many groups tried to prevent Jesus from completing his mission on Earth. They plotted against him, tried to entangle him in questioning, and sought to discredit or destroy him. However, Jesus responded wisely to their challenges and continued his work. After the resurrection, some still tried to deny it occurred. Ultimately, though many opposed Jesus, none were able to stop him or undo his work as the Savior.
Learn from tragedy
There are major events that make the news - Columbine High School, 9/11, Newtown - and many others. Are there lessons to learn from tragedy?
Hold the pattern
There is a Biblical pattern for the church, worship and salvation. God wants us to stay with the pattern.
Unfinished
Jesus' work is not finished. He continues adding to his church by saving believers and equipping them for ministry through spiritual gifts. Jesus intercedes for believers before God, serves as head of the church, and will one day judge the world. Currently, he rules as King over his kingdom and provides providential care for believers. Though Jesus returned to heaven, his unfinished work continues, and believers should work to further his purposes.
Ablemen
Many make excuses that they don't have the ability to work in the church. Here are some things God says we are able to do.
Walk light
This document discusses the concept of light and darkness in relation to God and fellowship. It makes the following key points:
1. God is described as light - He is good, pure, and contains no darkness or evil.
2. Darkness symbolizes life without God, chaos, immorality, and failure. It is the opposite of God.
3. For sinful humans to have fellowship with the holy God, they must walk in the light through their life. The blood of Jesus allows them to be cleansed from sin and darkness and brought into God's light.
Why give up
Why do some Christians quit their faith, stop belonging to church? What causes some to leave the faith?
Whokilled
This document discusses who was responsible for the death of Jesus Christ based on passages from the Bible. It considers that the Jews, Romans, God, Jesus himself, Satan, and all humanity contributed to his crucifixion. While the Jewish leaders supported his death sentence and the Romans carried out the execution, Jesus willingly sacrificed himself to fulfill God's plan and atone for the sins of humanity. Ultimately, the document concludes that everyone is partially responsible as Jesus died to save all people from the consequences of sin.
First and foremost
This document discusses putting God first in various areas of life. It provides Bible verses encouraging the reader to seek God and his kingdom first, pray for leaders, give themselves to God before others, start each day listening to and speaking with God through Bible reading and prayer with him as the top priority. It also mentions honoring God with finances by giving the first portion, putting God's thoughts first in decisions, and loving God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength so he has first place there. The overall message is to make God's priorities your priorities and ensure he is first in your day, week, money, decisions and heart.
Abrahams altars
Abraham built multiple altars at different locations to worship God. The document discusses lessons that can be learned from Abraham's altars about the nature of worship. Worship should be internal, originating from the heart; intentional, requiring focus on God; intermittent, occurring at specific times rather than constantly; and independent, not relying on pleasing people but only God.
Parachurch part 2
There are many organizations trying to do the work of the church but are not under the authority of the church. They are called parachurch organizations.
Parachurch part 1
What does God ask the church to do? How should the money of the church be spent? What can be supported and what should not be supported?

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

- 5. Faith is Needed Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith = confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. There is evidence of things we cannot yet see. Faith is an inner conviction based on the Word of God
- 6. Faith is Needed Substance = assurance (a standing under) Evidence = proof God cannot lie and cannot change. Therefore, I have the authority to believe for an answer.
- 7. Results of Faith Get substance or assurance – Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Results of Faith Get substance or assurance – Get evidence to support – Get a good report – Get understanding – Become an excellent sacrifice – Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.
