James and John ask Jesus to give them positions of honor in his kingdom, not understanding the difficulty of the path ahead. Jesus responds that they do not know what they are asking, as following him means suffering. He says they will share in his suffering through persecution but that he did not come to be served but to serve others and give his life to save many.

The Unmerciful Servant
The parable asks whether we truly understand forgiveness. It tells the story of a servant who was forgiven a large debt by his master but then refused to forgive a fellow servant for a much smaller debt. As a result, the unforgiving servant was punished by his master. The parable teaches that we must forgive others from the heart, just as God forgives us, and that failing to forgive will result in negative consequences.
parable of the unforgiving servant
This document analyzes and discusses the parable of the unforgiving servant told by Jesus in Matthew 18:21-35. It raises several questions about how to interpret the parable, in particular whether it portrays God as ultimately unforgiving or whether Jesus' death on the cross changes this understanding of God's mercy and grace. It explores different perspectives on the meaning and implications of the parable.
The unforgiving servant
The passage discusses the parable of the unforgiving servant told by Jesus in Matthew 18. In the parable, a king forgives a servant an immense debt, but then the servant refuses to forgive a fellow servant a much smaller debt. The king punishes the unforgiving servant for his lack of mercy. The passage emphasizes that forgiveness should be unlimited, as God forgives infinitely, and that a lack of forgiveness will be punished.
2010.7.11 give me an answer pt 5
The document discusses the concept of God as a judge and the existence of hell. It presents opposing views that a loving God would not condemn people to hell, but also cites biblical passages indicating God maintains justice. The document suggests hell is a consequence of living selfishly rather than God actively sending people there, and that God's love is greater than any force that could separate people from him.
26th January 2017 - The Bible – Book of Ecclesiastes
The document provides an overview and analysis of the biblical book of Ecclesiastes. It notes that Ecclesiastes was likely written by King Solomon towards the end of his reign to express his realization that worldly pleasures are fleeting and meaningless without God. The book describes various pursuits the author engages in to find fulfillment, such as wisdom, architecture, luxury, and materialism, but ultimately concludes they provide no lasting satisfaction or purpose. Ecclesiastes advises remembering God and keeping his commandments. For Christians, Jesus Christ offers the remedy to vanity and meaninglessness by providing eternal life and significance that nothing in this world can match.

Making the Ordinary Extraordinary
The document summarizes the biblical story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead according to the Gospel of John. It describes how Lazarus became sick and died while Jesus was away. When Jesus arrived, he wept at Lazarus' tomb before commanding Lazarus to come out of the tomb, resurrecting him from the dead. This miracle strengthened the faith of those who witnessed it.
Scripture
Jesus commands his disciples to go forth and make disciples of all nations by baptizing them and teaching them to obey Jesus' commands. They are to proclaim the good news to the whole world and those who believe and are baptized will be saved. Jesus promises the disciples that they will receive power from the Holy Spirit and will be witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Jesus also teaches that those who care for the hungry, thirsty, strangers, naked, sick, and imprisoned will inherit the kingdom of God.

M2014 s73 jesus is coming soon the parable of the ten virgins 9-21-14 sermon
This document is a sermon about Jesus' imminent return and the Parable of the Ten Virgins from Matthew 25:1-13. It discusses how the parable illustrates the need for Christians to be prepared for Jesus' second coming through faith and good works. The sermon warns that Jesus will deny entry into heaven for those who claim to know him but are not truly doing the will of God. It emphasizes living holy lives as we await Jesus' return, which will come suddenly like a thief in the night. Believers must have oil in their lamps like the wise virgins to be ready to meet the bridegroom.
Acts 3,1 26
Peter and John heal a lame man in the name of Jesus at the temple. When a crowd gathers out of amazement, Peter preaches to them about how Jesus was the Messiah foretold by the prophets. He urges the crowd to repent and turn to Jesus so that their sins may be forgiven. Peter testifies that they were witnesses to Jesus being raised from the dead by God.
What looks like a winner faith and sharing
This document discusses how God often surprises us in unexpected ways. It provides several biblical examples of when Jesus encountered people in surprising ways, such as stopping in Samaria and speaking to a Samaritan woman at the well. The document also discusses how God works incrementally over long periods of time, with bursts of growth and change. It prompts reflection on where we have experienced God's surprises and what might be getting in the way of fully following Jesus. The overall message is that God frequently works in our lives in unexpected and surprising ways.
Called to risk
Jesus feeds over 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish. The next day, the disciples travel by boat across the Sea of Galilee but encounter a storm. Jesus walks on water to reassure the disciples, who are afraid. He gets into the boat with them and the storm stops. This retells the biblical stories from John 6:15-21 and Matthew 14:21-34 where Jesus performs miracles of multiplying food to feed crowds and walking on water.
The Risen Savior
This is a simple PowerPoint for the lessons presented on Easter.
The question was, "Are you serving a dead man or a risen Lord?"
Vintage consp theory_9.23.12
Jesus began preaching that the kingdom of heaven was near and that one's righteousness must surpass that of religious leaders. He then contrasts the old morality of merely avoiding wrongdoing with the new morality of addressing the heart. Jesus elaborates on this new morality through examples of anger, adultery of the eyes, divorce, oaths, retaliation, and love of enemies.
The story
This document discusses biblical passages about obedience, faith, God's purposes being for good, and predestination. It also contains passages about oneness with God resulting in God being able to use a person's life to convince others to believe in Christ. Additionally, it discusses the value and power of prayer and lessons learned from the author's mother, including showing respect, taking responsibility, and being kind.
20081012 The Mission of Giving
The document discusses the mission of Christians to be a blessing to others. It provides several examples from the Bible where God calls his people to bless and be a blessing to all nations, including the calling of Abram in Genesis and Jesus' commissioning of the disciples. The key aspects are:
1) God calls his people to bless others and be a blessing as they spread his message.
2) Jesus showed compassion for others and instructed his disciples to ask God to send workers to spread the gospel message.
3) The last words of Jesus to his disciples were to go into all the world and preach the good news, making disciples of all nations.
NT Puzzle - Servanthood 2009.11.08
1) Jesus tells his disciples that he is going to Jerusalem where he will be betrayed, mocked, flogged, killed, and rise again in three days.
2) James and John ask Jesus to sit at his right and left in glory, but Jesus says they do not know what they are asking and must be able to drink the cup and be baptized as he is.
3) Jesus teaches his disciples that true greatness comes from serving others rather than being served.
Such as These
The document discusses Jesus teaching his disciples about the kingdom of God and marriage. It describes how the disciples tried to stop people from bringing children to Jesus, but Jesus said to let the children come and that those who do not receive the kingdom of God like children will never enter it. It then talks about Moses permitting divorce, but Jesus saying that divorcing and remarrying commits adultery.
Serving
Jesus tells his disciples that he will be betrayed, condemned to death, mocked, flogged, and killed, but will rise again three days later. James and John ask if they can sit at Jesus' right and left in glory, but Jesus says those places are not for him to grant. When the other disciples hear this, they become indignant with James and John. Jesus teaches his disciples that the greatest among them must be a servant and slave to all. He came not to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many.
Thankful
The document is a song about being thankful for life and blessings. It expresses gratitude for each new day, the beautiful world surrounding the singer, and the love of people around them. It mentions surviving a fiery car crash by the grace of an angel and feeling very blessed when looking at red sunsets. The singer wants the listener to know that they are thankful.
Sharon Koh - Falling Short - 110313
The document discusses verses from Romans chapter 3 about righteousness, sin, and falling short of God's glory. It notes that righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ for all believers, and that all have sinned and fall short of God's glory, with no difference between people. It further summarizes that all are freely justified by God's grace through redemption in Jesus Christ, and that God presented Jesus as a sacrifice to demonstrate his justice and to justify those who have faith.

Ruth promises to stay with her mother-in-law Naomi and adopt her God as her own. Naomi instructs Ruth to glean in the fields of a relative named Boaz to provide for themselves. Boaz notices Ruth and treats her with kindness. He later marries Ruth so that she can have a secure home and lineage, with their descendant being King David.

Jonathan Wu - Allelous Living with One Another - 101017
The document discusses the meaning of "Church" according to the New Testament. It is not an institution that owns property or plans strategies, but rather a group of ordinary people who are experiencing God's grace and learning to overcome hostility, forgive one another, share what they have, and encourage wholesome relationships. The document also references several Bible passages about Jesus commanding his followers to love one another as he loved them, and to remain in his love by obeying his commands to love one another.
Conflicted
The document discusses the human condition of being designed for good but damaged by evil, and how Jesus restores people. It notes how people still struggle with sin due to its lingering effects, but that Jesus offers forgiveness. The key message is that while people are predisposed to sin, believers should still strive to do good and avoid harm because actions have consequences.
Sharon Koh - I Am The Lord's Servant - 101212
The angel Gabriel was sent by God to a virgin named Mary who was pledged in marriage to Joseph. Gabriel told Mary that she would conceive and give birth to a son named Jesus who would be the Son of God and reign forever. Mary was confused by this since she was a virgin but the angel explained that it would be by the power of the Holy Spirit. Mary responded that she was God's servant and would accept what was said. Mary then sang a song praising God.

Elijah tells her not to be afraid and to first make him some bread, and that the flour and oil containers would always be refilled by God until the rains come again. The widow does as Elijah says and finds that they continue to have enough food for many days, as Elijah promised.
Steve rivera how - 100523
Jesus tells a parable about forgiveness to illustrate how his followers should forgive others. In the parable, a king forgives a servant an enormous debt out of mercy. But then that servant refuses to show mercy to another who owes him a small debt. The king punishes the unmerciful servant severely for his lack of forgiveness. Jesus concludes that God will likewise punish those who refuse to forgive others unconditionally.
Ken Fong - Recovering Pharisees - 100214
The document discusses the sins of the Pharisees and how they disintegrate and push away both God and others. It describes three fatal flaws of the Pharisees: their view of God as distant, their view of themselves as undeserving of God's love, and their view of others as equally undeserving. The passages from Matthew criticize the Pharisees for rejecting Jesus' teachings and ignoring his warnings, putting them in great peril. The conclusion is that if we recognize our own imperfections, the most we can hope for is to become "Recovering Pharisees" through accepting God's charitable love for all.
Steve Rivera - Hypocritical Hubris - 100117
The document discusses the dangers of hypocrisy and excessive pride. It quotes Martin Luther King Jr criticizing religious leaders who shut people out of heaven and criticizing those who accept evil without protest. The document also quotes Romans passages about living as sacrifices to God and not conforming to worldly patterns, thinking soberly rather than with excessive pride.
Before the Beginning, God...
The document discusses scientist Francis Collins' views on reconciling faith and science, specifically regarding evolution and the origins of life. It summarizes Collins' perspective that scientific evidence shows evolution occurring over millions of years, guided by God. The document also examines interpretations of Genesis and contrasts young earth creationism with views that see God using evolution as His mechanism for creation over long periods of time.
Ken Fong - Who Turned Off the Lights - 091129
The document discusses themes from Genesis related to humanity's separation from God due to sin. It explores whether mortality was originally part of God's plan or a consequence of the Fall. It suggests that what truly died was humanity's sole need for God, as the Fall caused people to think they could save themselves without God. The closing discusses how sin makes humans think they are gods and that they can save themselves, rather than needing God to truly live. It provides an Advent benediction adapted from Luke, praising God for sending a savior to rescue people and allow them to love and serve God for eternity.
Created to Work
The document describes the biblical creation of humankind. It explains that God created humans in God's own image and likeness and commanded them to have dominion over all other living creatures. God blessed humanity and instructed them to be fruitful and multiply. The passage also describes how God formed Adam from dust and breathed life into him, and placed him in the Garden of Eden to tend it.
The Universe
The document discusses how scientific evidence points to the existence of God and supports the biblical account of creation. It notes how the universe is finely tuned with precise physical constants and improbably conditions that allowed for life. Quotes from scientists acknowledge how the evidence unexpectedly aligns with the biblical description of creation. The document concludes that both the astronomical and biblical accounts describe the world as suddenly beginning at a definite moment in time through God's creative act.
YHWH God: Author, Source, Designer & Overseer of LIfe
The document discusses different views on the origin and development of life, including Young Earth Creationism, Intelligent Design, and a perspective of YHWH-led Evolution. It argues that while science has found evidence of evolution, God/YHWH still could have initiated and guided the process, as the ultimate designer, creator, and overseer of all life in the universe. Rejecting all scientific evidence in favor of only a literal biblical interpretation risks discrediting faith, so synthesizing both revelation in nature and scripture is preferable.
Behold The Beautiful
The document describes God's creation of the heavens, earth, light, sky, land, seas, plants, stars, sun, moon, sea creatures, birds, animals, and humans over the course of six days according to the biblical book of Genesis. It recounts each day of creation and how God saw that what was created was good.
Ken Fong - More Than Writing Checks - 100131
The document discusses Jesus' criticism of the Pharisees for focusing too much on minor technicalities of the law like tithing spices, while neglecting more important spiritual matters like justice, mercy, and faithfulness. It notes how the Pharisees would debate over small details but miss the overall message to love God and others. Similarly, people today can get caught up in trivial religious disputes and fail to live as God intends by showing compassion.
Sharon Koh - On the Seventh Day - 091122
The document describes the creation story from Genesis, with God creating the heavens, earth, water, land, plants, animals, and humans over the course of six days, then resting on the seventh day. Key events include darkness and water covering the earth on day one, land appearing on day two, vegetation on day three, lights in sky and living creatures on day five, land animals and humans on day six. God rested on and blessed the seventh day.
Misplaced Values
The document discusses Jesus' condemnation of the Pharisees' hypocritical views on oaths and promises. The Pharisees believed that some promises could be broken if not sworn to God directly, but Jesus taught that all promises should be kept regardless of how they are sworn. He told his followers to simply say "Yes" or "No" and to avoid loopholes or excuses for breaking promises. Overall, the key message is that people should demonstrate integrity by meaning what they say in all situations, not just when swearing oaths.
Marriage Community
The document discusses how God created humans to not be alone and to find companionship through romantic relationships. It notes that God created Eve from Adam's rib to be his companion and helpmate. The document then asks why fewer people are getting married today and suggests that churches could help single people experience fulfilling relationships by becoming more like extended families where people support and trust each other.
Ken Fong - When Very Good Becomes Just So So - 091115
The document discusses rediscovering the sense of wonder in God's creation of humanity. It argues that seeing the innate worth and "imago dei" in every person can help connect us to the voice and heart of God, and prevent marginalization or oppression of others. Failing to see the imago dei in each individual leads us to take human lives for granted.

The Significance of Being A Christian - Saved To Serve
Saved To Serve is the sixth in a series of lessons on, "The Significance of Being A Christian." I found the outlines for this series of lessons at: http://executableoutlines.com/sig.htm
When Life Is Unfair
This document discusses how life is often unfair and uses examples from the Bible of people who felt unfairly treated, such as Elijah, Jonah, and Job. It then focuses on how Jesus was unfairly mistreated through shameful and sinful actions like being flogged and mocked while on the cross. The document notes God's mighty manifestations at Jesus' death like the temple curtain splitting and the centurion's testimony. It concludes by saying God wants us to be unfair by going last and offering mercy when deserved punishment.

COME TO WORSHIP - 4 - BOW- YOUR - KNEES - PTR - VETTY GUTIERREZ -4PM - AFTER...Faithworks Christian Church
The document discusses four postures of worship: lifting hands, bringing gifts, pouring out heart, and bowing knees. It focuses on the posture of bowing knees, or kneeling, as an act of humbling oneself before God in submission, trust and praise. Kneeling shows humility, casts anxieties on God, and empowers one to stand before men through repentance, pursuit of God, and submitting to His will. The document encourages kneeling before God in prayer, worship and repentance.081221 Releasing Resentment John 21 15 25
The passage describes Jesus forgiving Peter after Peter denied knowing Jesus three times. When they meet after Jesus' resurrection, Jesus asks Peter three times if he loves him. Each time, Jesus tells Peter to feed and care for his sheep, reinstating Peter's role as a leader. The passage shows Jesus' example of forgiveness - he does not dwell on Peter's mistakes but welcomes him back and puts him to work.
SAVED TO SERVE1 - PTR. VETTY GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE
The document discusses the concept of servanthood and how it relates to greatness. It describes how James and John sought positions of power and prestige, while Jesus taught that true greatness is found through service to others. The greatest example is Jesus, who showed his followers how to serve through humble acts like washing their feet. He came not to be served but to serve others, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Christians are called to lead through service, not lordship over others.
forgive and you will be forgiven
Mat. 6:9-15 the Lord's Prayer tells us that if we want to be forgiven by God, we must be willing to forgive others. People do sin against us. It is difficult for us to forgive others. We want God to forgive us.
04 20 2008 Worship 1st
The document contains the purpose statement and lyrics of worship songs for the First Christian Church. The purpose statement outlines evangelizing the lost, edifying believers, ministering to those in need, and acting as a conscience to the community, all for God's glory. The songs praise Jesus' sacrifice and love, focusing on themes of redemption, salvation, and forgiveness.
Resolved conflicts, Restored Relationship
This document provides recommended resources from Lamplighter Ministries for building character in children of different age groups through stories. It also includes summaries of stories, quotes, and lessons learned from various books. There is a discussion of Jacob's struggle with God and how one's name and identity can change through divine intervention. A mother shares her struggle with anger issues and desire to break the cycle of verbal abuse through reconnecting with God through prayer and devotion.

The following are some of the headings.A type of the King of Kings, The kiss of the King of Kings! What is the significance of the Kings kiss! God's desire is that we would with Him, fashion our sanctuary! Do not be afraid I...possess the keys of death and hades! I will purify unto myself a people!
Building up the church
The document discusses the importance of building up the church and defending the truth. It warns that it is possible to backslide from the faith through sins of word, deed or thought like forsaking church assemblies. It encourages those who have backslidden to confess their sins and seek forgiveness. It also warns against gossip and idle talk, describing gossip as being "full of deadly poison." It emphasizes the importance of not forsaking regular church attendance.
Gospel of Mark: Ransom
Jesus told his disciples that he would be betrayed, condemned to death, mocked, spit on, flogged, and killed in Jerusalem, but would rise again three days later. He said he came "to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." The passage explains that without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins, indicating why Jesus had to die on the cross to redeem humanity.
Revelation 11
This document discusses biblical prophecies about the two witnesses - the Old and New Testaments - being overcome and killed during a period of time represented by France during the French Revolution. It describes France as spiritually representing Sodom and Egypt due to its extreme wickedness and defiance of God. The French Revolution fulfilled prophecies of a power rising from the bottomless pit to make war on the two witnesses and usher in a time of strong delusion and lawlessness, with anarchy threatening to sweep away all law as the world faces a similar struggle to that of the French Revolution.
Revelation11 140702012431-phpapp02
This document discusses biblical prophecies related to the two witnesses and the beast from the bottomless pit. It suggests that the two witnesses represent the Old and New Testaments, and that their 1,260 day prophecy period ended in 1798. At this time, the papal power fulfilled the role of the beast from the bottomless pit by oppressing the Scriptures. The document explores various biblical passages to support identifying the papacy with the beast from the bottomless pit and linking its rise to divine judgment for not accepting biblical truth.
Z Quincy
The document discusses the importance of spreading the gospel and serving others. It emphasizes that Christians should follow Jesus' example of living a holy life, praying, being friendly and caring for people. The goal is transforming lives by working with para-church organizations and adapting teachings for different audiences. The focus is on serving the local community and conducting international children's ministry programs.
the good samaritan
Luke 10:25-37. The good Samaritan.
Three attitudes expressed
A. The thieves - What is yours is mine and I will get it.
B. The priest and Levite - What is mine is mine and I will keep it.
C. The Samaritan - What is mine came from God and I will share ft.
Ignite - Passion for God
This document discusses the importance of prayer for the church. It provides several Bible passages that illustrate this. The key points are:
1. If the church is praying, it will be Spirit-filled (Acts 3:1, 16:25-26).
2. Prayer shows our love for God (Jeremiah 29:11-12, James 4:8).
3. Prayer will give the church a passion for the lost (Luke 18:1, 21:34-36).
The overall message is that prayer is essential for the church and will determine its effectiveness and greatness for God.
Session 2 Your Work Matters to God by Os Hillman
This document discusses developing a theology of work. It argues that work is important to God and was impacted by the fall of man. It suggests that the local church should equip believers to do ministry in their daily work through destroying the works of the devil. The document advocates that work can be a form of worship and ministry when done with excellence for God's purposes of meeting human needs, having platform to influence culture, and caring for the poor.
The Blood of Jesus
1) The document discusses how the blood sacrifice is the only acceptable offering and covering for sin according to the Bible. It traces the need for blood sacrifice from the earliest books of the Bible through the death of Jesus.
2) Jesus's death on the cross fulfilled the blood sacrifice requirement, as his blood covers believers' sins and allows them direct access to God.
3) The blood of Jesus has power to forgive sins, deliver from sin, and overcome the accusations of the devil according to Revelation and Hebrews. It is through his blood that believers can have salvation.

From Control to Surrender
1. The passage describes Jesus and his disciples being caught in a fierce storm on the Sea of Galilee. The disciples woke Jesus, afraid they would drown, and asked "don't you care if we drown?".
2. Jesus then rebuked the wind and waves, commanding them to be still. The storm immediately stopped.
3. Jesus chided the disciples for their lack of faith, asking why they were afraid when he had power over even nature.
From Whirlwind to Wisdom
This document contains quotes and passages about slowing down, resting, and living unhurried lives. It discusses how hurry can destroy our souls and keep us from living well. It emphasizes embracing sleep and rest as opportunities for God to work in us and care for us. The document encourages concentrating on God's presence rather than being so busy we cannot hear God's still, small voice. It invites living freely and lightly at the pace of grace.
Exclusivity to Engagement
The Resistance was formed to battle an oppressive empire. Small cells of rebels grew into a movement despite being poorly trained and lacking resources. Against the odds, the Resistance was ultimately victorious.
Moving God from Periphery to Center
The document discusses factors that can cause sleep issues like allergies, sickness, injury, hormones, irritants, lack of sleep, screen time, worry, stress, sorrow, loss, hardship, heartbreak and betrayal. It then recommends sleep hours needed for different age groups from newborns to adults. Finally, it discusses the benefits of sleep like consolidating memories, processing emotions, balancing hormones, refreshing brain cells, clearing waste and rejuvenating muscles. It also includes biblical references about God resting on the seventh day and choosing Zion as his resting place.
God's Work Is Our Rest
This document contains excerpts from Genesis describing God's punishment of Adam and Eve for eating the forbidden fruit, including painful labor for women and toiling to produce food from the ground for men. It also contains Bible verses about Jesus' humanity and suffering to redeem humanity, his resurrection as the firstfruits ensuring believers' resurrection and hope, and his offer of rest for the weary.
Our Work as Worship
The document summarizes passages from Genesis, Luke, Romans, and Matthew. It discusses:
1) God clothing Adam and Eve after banishing them from the Garden of Eden for eating from the tree of knowledge.
2) Jesus' death on the cross, with the temple curtain tearing in two and Jesus committing his spirit to God.
3) Romans urging believers to offer their bodies as living sacrifices, which is their true worship.
4) Matthew recounting Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, with crowds laying cloaks and branches on the road and shouting praises to him.
Our Work Redeemed
This document discusses several religious topics including Fu and the Great Flood, Noah and the Great Flood, redemption through faith in God, and becoming a co-worker with God. It also briefly mentions things the author hates like getting out of bed, people, and work.
Our Work as Futile
U.S. workers, especially millennials, want meaning and purpose in their work. They seek jobs where they can use their talents daily and have work-life balance. The Bible discusses work as a necessary result of humanity's fall from grace and describes toil as meaningless without finding satisfaction and pleasure in work itself and doing it for God. The document questions what people chase and work for if all their labor will ultimately be for nothing.
Our Work as Toil
1. Adam and Eve hide from God after eating the forbidden fruit from the tree.
2. God questions Adam and Eve about eating the fruit. Adam blames Eve, and Eve blames the serpent.
3. God punishes all three - the serpent will crawl on its belly, Eve will have pain in childbirth, and Adam will have to toil to produce food from the ground. Their relationship with God and each other is broken.
Our Work as Stewardship
1) The document discusses humanity's creation in God's image and their role of ruling over creation, cultivating the earth.
2) It presents views from early Christian thinkers like Eusebius of Caesarea who saw two types of lives - a perfect spiritual life and a permitted physical life, which wrongly narrowed the scope of calling.
3) The key idea is that work is humanity's divine calling since creation to partner with God and further His purposes through cultivating and creating.
God's Work, Our Work
The document describes the creation story from Genesis 1-2 in the Bible. It recounts each of the six days of creation, with God creating light, the sky, land, plants, stars, sea creatures, animals, and finally humans on the sixth day. On the seventh day God rested. It then discusses the concept of work and Sabbath, portraying God as a laborer through metaphors like gardener, shepherd, and potter. Finally, it suggests Christians abide in Christ's presence even during stressful work through humility, patience, and finding identity and worth in God rather than work performance or status.
Life with God
This document discusses various ways that Christians relate to and experience God, including through obedience to God's laws, surrendering control to God, finding purpose in God, and experiencing God's love. It also discusses Jesus praying that Christians would be united with God and each other to spread God's message. The document lists spiritual disciplines like meditation, prayer, fasting and study that Christians can practice to open themselves to worshipping God. Quotes emphasize that a relationship with God is about pursuing God rather than actions, and that the deepest level of connection is wordless communion.
Life from God
This document contains multiple Bible passages and quotes on different topics. It discusses God leading the Israelites in the wilderness for 40 years and teaching them to not live on bread alone but every word from God. It also contains a quote about when taken too far, the pursuit of comfort and avoidance of pain can make us spiritual lepers. The document reflects on different ways people relate to God and contains prayers to Jesus for help.
Life Over/Under God
This document contains several Bible verses and passages about God and eternal life. It discusses how God loved the world and gave his son so that all who believe in him will not perish but have eternal life. Another passage emphasizes that eternal life is knowing God as the one true God and Jesus Christ whom he sent. The document encourages focusing life on God.
Branches that Bear
The document discusses remaining and abiding in Jesus in order to bear fruit. It explains that branches must remain connected to the vine in order to bear fruit and warns that branches that do not remain will wither and be burned. It encourages readers to remain in Jesus through abiding in his word and teachings.
Examen
This document provides guidance for conducting a daily spiritual reflection called an "examen". It involves reflecting on the experiences of the day to see God's presence and action. This enables gaining wisdom for the future. It recommends opening your eyes and asking God for clarity, practicing gratitude in both joyful and disappointing moments, and reviewing the past year to identify a season of joy and disappointment. Tiles can represent these to express gratitude and ask for help. Finally, it quotes Psalm 77 about remembering God's deeds and miracles, and meditating on his mighty works.
Lights of the City
An angel appeared to shepherds watching over their flocks at night and told them the good news that a Savior, the Messiah, had been born in Bethlehem. The angel was joined by a great company of angels praising God. The shepherds went to Bethlehem and found Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus lying in a manger, just as the angel had said. They spread the word of what they had seen and experienced to all who would listen.
The Light of Beauty
Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked King Herod where the Messiah had been born, as they had seen his star rise and wanted to worship him. Herod consulted Jewish priests and teachers who said the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. Herod secretly met with the Magi and instructed them to find the child and report back so he could also worship him. The Magi followed the star to Bethlehem and found Jesus with Mary. They worshiped him and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, then returned home another way after being warned not to report to Herod.
The Light of Justice
This document discusses the concept of justice through several biblical passages and stories. It references the ideas of fair treatment, equality, and protecting the vulnerable. Key events mentioned include the birth of Jesus, the flight into Egypt to escape King Herod, and the subsequent massacre of innocent children in Bethlehem. The document concludes with a benediction calling for blessings of discomfort over injustice, anger to confront oppression, tears for those suffering, and hope that we can make a positive difference in the world.
A Glimmer of Hope
The document contains passages from the Bible describing Jesus Christ. John 1:1-5 describes Jesus as the Word of God who was present at the creation of all things and is the light and life of all people. Isaiah 9:2-7 prophesies that a child will be born who will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace and whose government and reign will have no end. Isaiah 7:14 contains the prophecy that a virgin will conceive and bear a son whose name will be called Immanuel.
