Jesus, the Lamb of God
How is it possible for Jesus’ death to save us from our sins. The key is propitiation. Just as the passover lamb appeased God’s wrath, so the blood of Jesus provides the way for our return to fellowship with God.
Grace of christ
Christ's grace is seen in his willingness to die on the cross on our behalf, even though we don't deserve it.
27th Sunday Gospel of ordinary time B
This document summarizes the Gospel reading for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time B, which discusses Jesus' teachings on divorce and marriage, as well as his blessing of children. It provides context about the passage from Mark's Gospel. Jesus disapproves of divorce and says that remarriage after divorce constitutes adultery. He affirms the sanctity of marriage. The reading also shows Jesus' tenderness towards children and says that welcoming children is key to entering God's kingdom.
God's beloved soul mate
Abraham is considered a friend of God because of his obedience and faith. He believed God's promises even when he did not fully understand God's plans. Abraham obeyed God's call to leave his home in Ur and travel to an unknown land, demonstrating obedience of faith. Though God's promises to Abraham were not fully realized in his lifetime, Abraham still trusted in God's faithfulness. His example shows that obedience of faith means following God even into uncertainty with only the assurance of God's character and promises.
With only a promise
Life is full of uncertainty, and we are often called to step into the dark with nothing more than a promise from God of future good.
The Son of God - Part 5
This document discusses the topic of Jesus Christ as the Son of God. It covers several key points:
1) It examines the meaning of terms like "begotten Son" and "only begotten Son" from both Greek and English definitions. It explains that these terms indicate Jesus having a beginning point as the Son.
2) It explores when the Sonship of Jesus began, citing biblical passages that indicate it began with his conception and birth as the holy child to Mary, designated as God's Son.
3) It presents indications from passages like 1 Corinthians 15:23-28 that the Sonship of Jesus will have an ending point when he completes his mission and hands over the kingdom to God the
Right vs. Wrong
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.
The return of christ
This document provides an overview of a 10-week course on eschatology or the doctrine of last things. Week 2 focuses on the return of Christ and the events associated with it, including the rapture, tribulation, Armageddon, and purpose of restoring creation. The document encourages readers to watch and be ready for Christ's return, exhorting one another through God's word. It also discusses living in readiness through sharing in Christ's work until He returns.

Honor the Key to Healthy Relationships
This was a training that I did with new members who were coming onboard with our Ministry Team. The first section uses a Family Systems approach to leadership. At our church we desire that leaders model the culture by three characteristics: (1) Affirmation - which is each member of the Leadership Team is for the success of others. (2) Expectation - Each member of the team has the courage to be realistic concerning the facts of a particular situation but they engage it with Hope.

Believers can stand against the devil and attack his strongholds through prayer and godly action.
What Kind of Love!
You will see in this lesson the importance of pausing to carefully consider the kind of love that our Father has demonstrated to us in sending His son so that we can be His children.

The document describes how an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him not to be afraid to take Mary as his wife, as the child conceived in her was from the Holy Spirit. Mary would give birth to a son named Jesus, who would save his people from their sins, fulfilling a prophecy. It also describes how Jesus, though God, became human and was born as a man in order to take away human sins through his death and sacrifice. All will one day acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God.Bless Jehovah!
The psalmist calls on his soul and all that is within him to bless Jehovah and not forget all of His benefits.

Religion vs Relationship - Brent Lokker
Pastor Brent reminds us of the simple Gospel message and its power to set us free, if only we would take it at face value. Too often we have allowed never-quite-good-enough, performance-based religion to turn God's good news into a man-made prison!

Coming Home To Our True Identity - Charles Razzell
Charles Razzell contrasts the attitudes and outcomes for two men who encountered God's power: Simon the Sorcerer and Paul the Apostle (Acts chapters 8 & 9). God calls us to experience sonship and values us accordingly, whereas many of us still tend to assess each other for what we do. The best possible outcome is when we know who we are in Christ and live accordingly; Jesus being the Vine, and we the branches.

Stephen's God Adventure Part 2
Slides for a talk given at Blazing Fire on July 20, 2019. Welcoming Holy Spirit to fully access our heart. Here is the link to the podcast: https://www.podbean.com/eu/pb-t2b8u-b89896 God's "hesed" love for us, the work of Holy Spirit in our hearts, the problem of being "stiff-necked"/narcissistic, and the challenge of loving our enemies.
Stephen's God Adventure Part 1
Stephen gives a speech before the Sanhedrin in which he recounts Jewish history and defends himself against accusations of blasphemy. He describes how God spoke to Moses and how the Israelites rejected prophets like Moses and Jesus. Stephen's accusers are enraged by his message, and they drag him out of the city and stone him to death while he prays for forgiveness.
How Does Fear Fit With The New Covenant of Grace? Acts 5:11-42
This document is a summary of a sermon on how fear fits within the new covenant of grace. It discusses different meanings of the Hebrew word "yara" which is often translated as fear but can also mean reverence. It explores how yara refers to a "flowing of the gut" and applies to God as referring to his nature and spirit flowing out to us. Overall it aims to resolve how believers can be instructed to fear God but also told not to be afraid by distinguishing types of fear and examining the context of loving obedience and relationship under grace rather than law.

True Community - Brent Lokker
Pastor Brent Lokker highlights the defining characteristics of the fellowship of believers as described in Acts 2:42-47 and Acts 4:32-37. Rather than treat these ideas as confined to the first century, Pastor Brent demonstrates that breaking of bread, praying for one another and taking care of each other's practical needs remain as defining marks of Holy Spirit-inspired communities today.

The Holy Spirit Reveals Jesus - Acts 2
The Holy Spirit reveals Jesus and empowers believers through spiritual gifts. When the Spirit is poured out, it alters people's theology based on their new experiences. God poured out the Spirit so that Jesus' church could bring His kingdom and answers through prophetic words, visions, and discernment. As believers operate in the Spirit through agreement and declaration, things can be "tied up" or "released" on earth as determined in heaven. The Spirit convicts people of their need for Jesus and righteousness found only through Him.

sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.
These follow certain well defined laws of nature and are controlled by nervous (electrical) and chemical (hormones) mechanisms to bring about movement and action in each and every cell.
Thus annamaya kosha is the physical frame which the grossest of the five Koshas.chakra yoga - kundalini yoga - awakening

Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

OM Meditation - ultimate meditation technique
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.

Jesus - Son of God
- 1. JESUS Son of God Pastor Brent Lokker February 11, 2017
- 3. “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased!” Matthew 3:17
- 6. While he lived on earth, anticipating death, Jesus cried out in pain and wept in sorrow as he offered up prayers to God. Hebrews 5:7-8
- 7. Because he honored God, God answered him. Though he was God’s Son, he learned trusting-obedience by what he suffered, just as we do. Hebrews 5:7-8
- 8. It is the beauty of God, who created all things for his glory, to make the Pioneer of our salvation perfect through his sufferings, for this is how he brings God’s many sons and daughters to share in his glory. Hebrews 2:10
- 9. Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world. 1 Peter 4:12-13
- 10. We look away from the natural realm and we fasten our gaze onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. Hebrews 12:2
- 11. His example is this: Because his heart was filled with the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:3
- 12. For it was always in the Father’s perfect plan to adopt us as his delightful children, through our union with Jesus, the Anointed One, so that his tremendous grace that cascades over us would bring him glory~for the same love he has for his Beloved One, Jesus, he has for us! Ephesians 1:5-6 Passion Translation
- 13. Consider the kind of extravagant love the Father has lavished on us— He calls us children of God! It’s true~ we are His beloved children! 1 John 3:1
