Ready for another year? Well, it's up to you though to make it a "NEW" Year indeed. So before you start it, just try to keep this in mind. Remember these Key Verses and Ideas throughout the Year.
This document discusses God as a father who searches for his lost children. It references several parables told by Jesus about a shepherd searching for a lost sheep, a woman searching for a lost coin, and a father welcoming home his lost son. The document emphasizes that God invites, looks, searches, and waits for those who are lost, whether inside or outside the church, and there is rejoicing in heaven when even one sinner repents. It notes that humans are created in God's image and can become lost, and explores how one would search for a lost coin, as God searches for the lost.
1. God's story is about forming Christ in us and living through faith in Him.
2. We are called to shine God's light for others and be witnesses to Him around the world.
3. Suffering persecution for our faith purifies us and drives us closer to God, and though difficult, we find joy because of the eternal reward awaiting us in heaven.
The document discusses two options for managing one's business - being wasteful or being faithful. It describes how being wasteful involves not planning for the future, being unable to track spending, and spending foolishly. It advocates being faithful by having a business plan that involves defining one's mission, setting short and long term goals, lowering overhead costs, planning for downtimes, and sharing profits as a way to be a blessing to others. The overall message is that one should manage their business and finances faithfully as something entrusted to them by God, rather than wasting what they have been given.
Jesus went about Galilee teaching, preaching about the kingdom of God, and healing many who were sick or afflicted. Large crowds followed him and his fame spread throughout Syria. He performed many other signs and miracles beyond what was written in scripture. Jesus gave his disciples and the seventy power to heal sickness and cast out demons, and instructed them to preach about the kingdom of God. The miracles Jesus performed through his ministry bore witness to who he was and the works of God.
Faith@Work Bootcamp :: Changing Your World One Person @ A Time (Lim Siew Ai)FaithAtWorkMY
This document provides guidance on how one person can change the world one person at a time through sharing their faith. It recommends three key steps: 1) Being aware of opportunities to share your faith, such as by noticing those who are receptive; 2) Committing to prayer for those you want to share with, such as praying that God draws them and opens their minds; 3) Showing them you care through building relationships and meeting their physical and spiritual needs, as Jesus did by dining with sinners. The ultimate goal is to share the gospel and bring others to faith in Christ so they can continue changing the world themselves.
This document is a 23 slide presentation on reaping bountifully. Some of the main points discussed are: having faith in God; using the talents and abilities God has given us to serve him; abiding in Christ for strength; and sowing seeds through good works, humility, and generosity so that we may reap a plentiful harvest. The overarching message is that we should work diligently and purposefully for the Lord in this life in order to receive rewards in eternity.

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.
1) The document discusses disgracing satanic agents and evil operations by the power of God.
2) It warns that satanic ministers can be found in churches working to hinder and destroy God's work, and provides examples of their tactics.
3) It provides advice on how to recognize satanic agents through discernment and lists prayer points to make one's life and ministry too hot for the devil to handle.

This document discusses who can be considered servants of God based on passages from Revelation and Ephesians. It argues that only Christians who follow Jesus as their head and do God's will from the heart can be called servants of God, not those who call themselves servants. True servants will be raised by the Holy Spirit, seated with Christ, and reign as kings in heaven and earth. The parable of the ten virgins is used to illustrate that not all Christians who receive the Holy Spirit are true servants accepted by God, and that being a servant requires paying the price to remove self and receive God's grace.
This document discusses the importance and results of strong faith, prayer, speaking, and obedience. It states that strength comes from belief and that how one prays reflects the size of their faith in God. It also notes that strong speaking reflects deep beliefs and that the apostles' bold obedience led to signs, wonders, and more people being saved. Their obedience despite opposition released God's miracles and always required faith. The document concludes that obeying God's commands results in blessings, prosperity, being set above other nations, and not lacking any good thing.
The document discusses whether the future can be known. It references several Bible passages about prophecies that were fulfilled, such as Daniel's vision of kingdoms and Isaiah's prophecy of Cyrus letting God's people go free. However, it also notes that only God knows the exact day and time of future events like Jesus' return, and that people should say "if it is the Lord's will" when making plans. The overall message is that while the Bible contains prophecies that came true, only God fully knows the future.
The document discusses the new life that Christians receive through Easter and Christ's resurrection. It references several Bible verses about being made new creations in Christ, having a new birth, new standing of justification before God, a new relationship as his children, a new purpose to be witnesses, a new hope, and receiving new power from the Holy Spirit like the power that raised Christ from the dead.

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.
Those with spiritual discernment are able to see God in the small. God plus something small = more than enough! Begin by making room in your life for God in some small way. "Small things done with great love will change the world"
This presentation (draft) is part of South Atlantic Conference's basic training for local church members who have accepted the opportunity to serve as Publishing Ministry Coordinators.
1. Obedience to God results in opposition but also releases God's miracles and blessings. When the apostles obeyed God by continuing to preach, they were imprisoned but an angel freed them.
2. True strength comes from obedience to God rather than men. The apostles were willing to obey God over human authorities.
3. To be strong in obedience requires knowing Christ, having faith, and obeying God completely and immediately despite any challenges or tests of obedience.
This document discusses how apparent misfortunes in life can often contain hidden blessings. It references how the apostle Paul's imprisonment led him to write letters that guided the early churches. While things may seem difficult, God intends them for good and can bring fortune out of misfortune. The document encourages trusting God during disappointments and allowing him to turn difficulties into something beneficial.
Sabbath school lesson 13, 1st quarter of 2016David Syahputra
The document summarizes key events from the book of Revelation about the end times:
1) Satan will be chained for 1,000 years during the Millennial Judgment, when the saints will reign with Christ and judge the wicked.
2) After Satan is released briefly, the Final Judgment will occur, where the wicked dead are resurrected and judged according to their works before being destroyed by fire.
3) God will then create a new heaven and new earth without sin, where the holy city of New Jerusalem descends and God dwells with his people, wiping away all tears forever.
The document discusses the concept of a "new race" of Christians that has been created by Jesus Christ. It describes this new race as being spiritual in nature, unified regardless of background, and defined by its relationship with Christ as its head. The new race also has its own distinct language of worship and will endure forever as God's eternal kingdom.
The kingdom of God grows mysteriously like a seed on the ground. When the farmer scatters seed, he does not know how it will grow, but it sprouts through a secret process in the soil. Though the farmer cannot see this growth, the seed produces a successful harvest. Similarly, when we preach the gospel, God secretly works through his word to bring people to faith, even if we do not see results. We must faithfully sow the seed of the gospel and trust that God will cause it to grow and produce abundant fruit in his time.
The document discusses religious leaders called "lemmings" who want to silence those spreading the word of Jesus despite undeniable signs and miracles. It references Acts 4:16-17 where religious leaders want to warn people from speaking about Jesus to prevent the news from spreading further. However, the document also references Acts 4:19-20 where Peter and John refuse to stop preaching about Jesus, saying they must obey God rather than men.
Meu maior sonho não é o céu - Pr. Paulo RabelloPaulo Rabello
O documento apresenta trechos bíblicos do Evangelho de Lucas que descrevem a parábola do filho pródigo. A parábola narra a história de um filho que pede sua herança ao pai, gasta tudo em luxúria e decide voltar para casa arrependido. Quando o pai o vê retornando, o recebe com alegria e celebra sua volta.
O pedido (Im)Possível Deus - Pr. Paulo RabelloPaulo Rabello
O documento discute o significado e a importância do perdão. Ele explica que perdoar é escolher libertar os outros dos pecados cometidos contra você para que você mesmo possa ser libertado, não por merecimento do outro, mas para que você possa ser feliz. Também destaca que perdoar requer coragem para deixar o passado para trás e não se tornar uma vítima eterna daquele que o feriu.
For every prophecy of Jesus first coming to earth in the Old Testament there are 8 in the New Testament saying that He will come back soon. But why is He coming back? And how is He coming back? Is it gonna be a secret event, like some say or not? Pray, study and get ready for His soon return.
This document appears to be a series of slides from a presentation on spiritual warfare and the love of God. It discusses how the spiritual war between good and evil began in heaven, but is now taking place on earth. It reviews biblical passages describing how Satan rebelled against God and was cast down to earth. It also reviews the creation of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, their instructions from God, and how Satan deceived Eve into eating the forbidden fruit through lies and half-truths. The presentation aims to teach that humans are now in the middle of a spiritual battle and that God still loves humanity despite the fall.

O documento lista frases comuns que as pessoas dizem quando estão com problemas ou se sentindo sozinhas, e as respostas que Deus oferece a cada uma delas de acordo com versículos bíblicos. Ele enfatiza que Deus guia, perdoa, ama, ensina o caminho e oferece descanso e consolo por meio de Jesus Cristo. O documento convida as pessoas a lerem a Bíblia para saber o que Deus tem a dizer.

3) Heavenly beings such as angels are attentively waiting to act in favor of God and His cause in response to prayers.
4) Engaging in intercessory prayer on behalf of others is beneficial both for them and for our own spiritual growth and relationship with God.
Pr. Paulo Rabello - Estabelecendo Limites no NamoroPaulo Rabello

Key verses to help survive the new yearPaulo Rabello
The document provides a study guide for key Bible verses to help survive the new year. It lists 5 topics:
1) You were chosen by God (1 Peter 2:9).
2) You have a mission to be salt and light on earth (Matthew 5:13-16).
3) You are not alone, God is with you (Matthew 28:18-20).
4) Your work is for God, not humans (Colossians 3:23-24).
5) Know your enemy (the devil) and weapons (armor of God) to withstand spiritual forces (Ephesians 6:10-17).
01 10 new understanding - going with purpose, doing with power mark 3 14-15SSMC
This document provides a summary of a sermon given on January 10, 2016 at the SSMC Sungai Way-Subang Methodist Church. The sermon focuses on Mark 3:14-15 and discusses Jesus' three-step training curriculum for his disciples: 1) Being with him, 2) Going out to preach, and 3) Doing miracles with power. The sermon emphasizes that disciples must first spend time with Jesus to develop trust and experience transformation before Going out to preach about God's kingdom and Doing miracles. It examines what Jesus and others preached about the kingdom of God and how it was a central theme. The sermon encourages developing a passion for Jesus rather than just a hobby or interest.
The document summarizes the mission that Jesus gave to the 12 disciples when he first sent them out to preach. They were instructed to focus on the lost sheep of Israel and preach that the kingdom of heaven was at hand. They were given power to perform healings and exorcisms. Later, after Jesus' resurrection, the disciples continued preaching to wider audiences, including Gentiles. The document discusses the requirements for salvation during the tribulation period, noting it will involve both faith and works through obedience to God's commandments.
Jesus was born of a virgin, Mary, through miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit. He is the Son of the Highest, called the Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. His mission was to redeem all people from every kindred, tongue, people and nation back to a relationship with God through his death and salvation. The good news of his birth and life applies to all people regardless of status or background.
1. The document discusses several biblical principles regarding authority and truth:
- Man cannot direct his own steps or determine right from wrong on his own.
- Traditions should not contradict God's commands.
- Authority comes from God, not human institutions.
2. It cautions against following feelings, crowds, or modern prophets without testing against Scripture.
3. The key message is that the Bible provides God's pattern and measuring stick for determining truth. People and traditions must be in line with biblical authority.
The document discusses the "Great Commission" passages found in the New Testament where Jesus instructs the disciples to spread his teachings. It analyzes the key aspects of the commissions given in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts. The author then synthesizes these passages into a single sentence describing being sent by God the Father and Son, empowered by the Holy Spirit, to witness to others about Jesus everywhere by making disciples, preaching forgiveness of sins, and releasing people from Satan's control.
The document discusses a biblical prophecy from Daniel chapter 9 regarding the timing of Jesus Christ's ministry. It explains that the prophecy predicted 483 years from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem until the anointing of the Messiah. Historical records show this decree was issued by Artaxerxes I in 457 BC. Adding 483 years brings one precisely to the year 27 AD, the year Jesus began his ministry at age 30 based on other biblical accounts. The prophecy and its fulfillment point to Jesus as the promised Messiah.
I. Good works are not done to boast or for our own righteousness, but are the result of faith created in Christ.
II. Good works and faith must go together; faith without works is dead. We are created in Christ Jesus for good works.
III. God has prepared good works for us to participate in beforehand as part of His plan of salvation and our sanctification.

This document provides an overview and analysis of key passages in Genesis and Matthew related to the seven-day creation week and Jesus' teachings on the Sabbath. It notes how each day of creation involved separation or distinction, and draws parallels between these acts of separation and gospel themes. It also summarizes Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees over their corruption of the Sabbath, and his teaching that the sign of Jonah is the only sign that will be given to that generation.
1) Jesus commands his followers to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
2) The passage says that those who believe and are baptized will be saved, while those who do not believe will be condemned.
3) Other passages reinforce that Christians are commanded by God to preach the gospel in order to save souls and fulfill the Great Commission, as the gospel is God's power to save believers.

130120 dmn in christ (part 3) by ps. timothy loheaglepointcf
The document discusses finding purpose in life through Christ. It makes three key points:
1) Our personal purpose is embedded within God's kingdom purpose, and finding our place in His kingdom will reveal our specific role.
2) Scripture shows that our purpose in Christ is to be reconciled to God and do the good works of making disciples and spreading the gospel.
3) Both individually and as a church, our calling is to make disciples by teaching others to obey all of Christ's commands and baptizing them in the name of God.
130119 eng in christ (part 3) by jocelyn taneaglepointcf

1) Our ultimate purpose is found in Christ, who created all things. When we find our place in God's kingdom purpose, we also find our specific role.
2) The Bible shows that our purpose in Christ is to be reconciled to God and do the good works of making disciples and spreading the gospel.
3) Both individually and as a church, our calling is to make disciples by teaching others about Christ and baptizing them in his name.
On December 14, 2012, twenty elementary school students and six teachers were killed at a school in Newtown, Connecticut. When parents received news of the tragic shooting, they became worried, scared and devastated. The document includes passages from the Bible to provide comfort and condolences for the losses.
The document provides a summary of a sermon about Jesus' parables of the hidden treasure and the fine pearl from Matthew 13:44-46. The 3-sentence summary is:
The sermon discusses how the parables illustrate that the kingdom of heaven is of greater value than any earthly possession and should be sold or sacrificed for. Believers are encouraged to prioritize heavenly treasures like wisdom over money and possessions by focusing on their relationship with God through diligently seeking the Holy Spirit. The parables teach that the greatest treasure is knowing God, which provides security, joy and purpose far exceeding any worldly treasure that can be lost or stolen.
The document discusses the Great Commission given by Jesus to his followers to spread the gospel message to all nations. It provides several Bible verses where Jesus commands his disciples to preach, teach, and baptize people of all nations. It also discusses how both the church and individuals can fulfill the Great Commission by sharing their personal testimonies and faith in Jesus with others through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Lesson 5 | Cornerstone Connections | Sabbath School | Second Quarter 2015jespadill
Moses tells the Israelites not to be afraid and to stand firm, as God will deliver them from the Egyptians pursuing them. Though the Israelites see the Egyptians now, they will see them no more. God will fight for the Israelites, who need only remain still.
This document discusses signs in the sun, moon, and stars as mentioned in Genesis 1:14 and other biblical passages. It explores how the biblical feasts of Leviticus 23, such as Passover and Pentecost, were fulfilled by Jesus and relate to future events. The document suggests the rapture may occur on the Feast of Trumpets based on passages like 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. It examines symbols like fig trees and the number patterns in biblical passages to argue important biblical events occurred in Jubilee years, including Israel becoming a nation in 1948.
The document discusses the concept of culture and how it relates to marketing. It provides several definitions of culture, describing it as the shared values, beliefs, and patterns of behavior learned and passed down through generations in a group. Culture influences all aspects of life, including consumption behaviors and responses to marketing efforts. The document notes culture exists at both surface and deep levels, with deep-seated worldviews forming the underlying assumptions that shape how people perceive and respond to reality. It also discusses how culture is dynamic and constantly evolving as it interacts with geography, events, and other influences.
This document provides an overview of Revelation 14, comparing its themes and symbols to those found in Exodus and Daniel 3. Revelation 14 describes the remnant, their message of warning, and the symbolic outcome of the final battle. It notes similarities between the plagues in Revelation and Exodus, including references to God's wrath, standing by the sea, and singing the song of Moses. The document then outlines the seven last plagues described in Revelation.
The document provides an analysis of chapters 12 and 13 of the Book of Revelation. It discusses the symbols of the sea beast and earth beast described in chapter 13. The sea beast represents a persecuting world power with authority over "every tribe, people, language and nation." The earth beast assists the sea beast and forces people to worship it. The document suggests the sea beast represents the papacy and the earth beast represents the United States, which rose to power in 1798 as the papacy's wound was healed. It indicates the prophecies appear to be accurately foreshadowing future events.
This document provides an overview and analysis of key chapters and concepts in the Book of Revelation. It begins with an introduction to the symbolic language and correct interpretation of Revelation. It then summarizes chapters 4-6 which describe John's vision of God's throne in heaven, the scroll and lamb, and the opening of the seven seals. The document analyzes the meaning of the seals as God's means to rouse his people spiritually. It discusses the sealing of the 144,000, representing God's faithful people, and the great multitude from every nation who endure tribulation. In the end, the 144,000 receive special protection and will be translated without dying.
Each of the 7 churches of Revelation represent a period in History as well as the spiritual condition of God's church/people in that particular era. Jesus' message to each church involves a greeting, praise for their good works, rebuke of their sins, a command to repent, and a promise of reward for those who are victorious. Chapters 4-5 describe a throne in heaven surrounded by 24 elders and 4 living creatures, and a scroll that only the slain and resurrected Lamb/Jesus is able to open to reveal God's plan.
Revelation Bible Study - Jesus messages to the seven churchesPaulo Rabello
Brief Bible Study on Revelation chapters 2 & 3.
Good support for the Adult Bible Study Guide (Sabbath School Lesson) on Revelation. (2019 Jan, Feb, Mar)
Have you ever wondered what's prayer all about? It's not about the position of your hands, repetition of words, etc. Let's find out together what Jesus said about it.
It's basic yet essential that we understand about so we can connect better to Him.
The Cure for Asaph's Disease (Series Part 1)Paulo Rabello
This document summarizes Asaph's spiritual crisis as described in Psalm 73. It explains that Asaph suffered from a "disease" of apostasy and envy of the wicked, which eroded his spiritual memory and perception of life in God. The disease had three stages: being slowly carried away, losing memory of spiritual truths, and complete erosion of faith. It notes three safeguards Asaph learned: watch your words, use your spiritual memory, and enter God's sanctuary. The crisis helped Asaph understand God's goodness and the different destinies of the wicked and righteous.
This is the second part of the series
"When God doesn't make sense"
This time the focus is on the book of Job, however, the focus (as it should always be) is on God.
Be blessed!
Sermon based on 2 Timothy 4:6-8.
Key idea: having "spiritual" fast-food meals once and a while will never make you as strong as the Apostle Paul.
Follow his example! Seek Him always. ; )
Truth About Death 3: "Hell the hottest lie of the devil" Paulo Rabello
The document discusses the concept of "hell" as presented in the Bible. It begins by outlining the popular conception of hell as a place of eternal torment for the wicked after death. It then examines the Hebrew word "Sheol" used in the Old Testament, which is sometimes translated as hell but refers broadly to the grave or pit. The document analyzes the Greek words used in the New Testament translated as hell, including Hades and Gehenna. It notes that biblical references to hell often use future tense, implying a time of future judgment rather than immediate fate after death. Overall, the document suggests the Bible portrays hell not as a place of infinite torment but rather a period of variable suffering that is eternal in duration
At His Service #3 - To The Least of ThesePaulo Rabello
The parable of the sheep and goats from Matthew 25:31-46 describes the scene of the final judgment. Jesus will separate people as a shepherd separates sheep from goats, with the sheep on the right welcomed into the kingdom and the goats on the left cursed. People will be judged based on whether they cared for those in need by providing food, water, clothing, visits when sick or in prison. Both groups will question why they are judged in this way, not realizing they had either helped or neglected "the least of these" who represent Jesus.
The document provides 5 key messages to help Christians survive the challenges of life. 1) Christians are God's chosen people. 2) They have a mission to be salt and light in the world. 3) Jesus promised that he will always be with believers. 4) Christians should work for God, not for human approval. 5) Believers must know their spiritual enemy and fight against evil using the full armor of God and prayer. The document encourages Christians to remember these essential truths in order to remain strong in their faith.
The document discusses Jesus' mission and the mission he gave to his followers. It states that Jesus' mission was to seek and save the lost. Jesus commanded his followers to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey Jesus' commands. The document then discusses how the Holy Spirit empowered the followers to be witnesses for Jesus everywhere, from Jerusalem, to Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
The document discusses the Passover festival mentioned in the Old and New Testaments. It was a period of opportunity and decision as well as celebration. God looked forward to it as a demonstration of His love. It was a moment for justice and the only way for salvation and freedom, foreshadowing redemption through Christ's blood.
The document discusses the biblical concept of stewardship, where God owns everything and humans are responsible for taking care of and managing what belongs to God. It provides several Bible verses that portray God as the owner and ruler over all creation. Christians are called to be stewards of God's resources, using their time, talents, temple (body), and treasure to serve God. True stewardship involves using all aspects of one's life to honor God in response to what He has provided.
Eugene Allen worked at the White House for 34 years serving under 8 US presidents from Truman to Reagan. He held the role of butler, which involves overseeing and managing the household staff. The document discusses biblical passages about stewardship and being a faithful servant. It explores the concept of Christians having gifts and talents to serve others. Being a steward means using the resources and abilities God provides to help and support other people.
A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
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
