1. It reviewed the Nicene Creed, the statement of beliefs that is unique to Catholicism.
2. It discussed different ways for students to improve their spiritual lives, such as attending Mass regularly, going to confession twice a year, and preparing for confirmation.

The document is a collection of announcements and updates from various ministry teams at a church.

The overall purpose is to share opportunities for involvement and growth within the church community.
1) Witnessing is commanded by God and sharing the gospel message is urgent as people's lives and souls are at stake.
2) Christians have a responsibility to verbally declare the good news of salvation and not just rely on good works alone.
3) Witnessing is an act of worship that glorifies God and shows non-believers how wonderful he is.
This document provides a call to pray for the deaf and hard of hearing around the world on June 12, 2011.

It provides biblical examples to support each point and emphasizes discerning God's voice by checking any perceived message against Scripture and God's character. Overall, the document counsels patience during periods of waiting for God's answers or direction.

"IT'S WHAT'S INSIDE" is the latest in the Marked as Disciples series. This sermon on Mark 7:1-23 was preached by Pastor Gary Krehbiel on April 17, 2016 at Crosspoint Bible Church in Omaha, NE.
Have a good reputation, Many people, few people, with their fruits, become good franktsao4
When the church chooses a deacon, it often depends on the person’s reputation. Usually as long as no one speaks badly about him, he can probably pass the test. But what is a good reputation? What causes his good reputation? Even he has a bad reputation, should we give him the same opportunity? This also involves the purpose of the church, is like running a social club where everyone is happy to be together, or to make disciple, which God can use The Church of the Good Soldiers
This document discusses why God became flesh in human form as Jesus Christ. It notes that as God, he is self-sufficient and cannot be tempted or lie, but as a human he was able to be tempted and experience humanity fully. The key reasons given for why God became flesh are so that he could do the Father's will, bring grace and truth, provide forgiveness of sins, make the perfect example to follow, and most importantly, so that God could relate to humans through experiencing human life as one of us. The document examines biblical passages about Jesus to support these points.
This document provides an overview and materials for a workshop on Biblical Perspectives on Suffering and Disability. It includes an introduction, overview of workshop topics, recaps of previous workshops, and content on the question of God and the problem of evil. The workshop addresses why bad things happen to good people from theological perspectives, including examining the nature of God, problem of evil, and developing a "theodicy". It discusses types of evil, classical and contemporary Christian responses to theodicy, and the redemptive understanding of moral evil through the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Christian's purpose in life Glorify God, enjoy God, Please God, live with God franktsao4
As we had mentioned before that what God wants us to do is what we can do, but we live in a world controlled by the devil, so we will be brainwashed and like to do things that we can’t do. Then, we will be trapped in a desperate mood, because these things are generally undefined, or humans can’t do it at all, but our energy is spent on whether we achieve it, and we don’t calm down and think about what God has said. And exactly what God wants us to do, this is the focus of this chapter

We have previous talked about abiding in GOD’s word. We started with some biblical verses, now we have to speed up the abiding. Here is how to do it. This approach is like a person wearing sunglasses all the time and suddenly his glasses are removed, he can see everything clearly. This change lies in the difference in vision, and everything he sees has changed completely. This should have a great change.
The document summarizes the key points from a church class on what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. It discusses that to be a disciple, one must deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Jesus. Denying oneself means not living independently from God through pride and self-reliance. Taking up one's cross signifies being willing to die to oneself to do God's will. Following Jesus entails living as He lived through ongoing commitment and submission to His teachings. The document questions whether one can truly be a Christian without being a disciple in this sense.
How to practice GOD's word - a simple onefranktsao4
This document shares a Bible study on rejoicing always as God's will according to 1 Thessalonians 5:16. It discusses how faith without deeds is dead, and outlines the dilemma of needing to be in Christ to follow his teachings but needing to follow his teachings to be in Christ. It proposes testing the command to rejoice always by waving to people with a smile to spread joy. Waving neighbors during lockdown can increase faith by following God's will. The purpose is to encourage putting God's command to rejoice always into practice.
Checks to Unconditional Covenants 7
The Guardsman who posts the way in no uncertain terms
Looking at the classic "proof" text for the "once in grace always in grace" crowd: 1 Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
1) David served God's purpose in his generation by working humbly as a shepherd, fighting bravely against enemies of Israel like Goliath, waiting patiently for God to fulfill his promise of kingship, and leaving a godly legacy through his writings in the book of Psalms.
2) All Christians should seek to understand God's unique purpose and plan for their lives and serve Him faithfully in both their daily choices and through helping others learn about the gospel.
3) While God forgives sins, disobedience still has consequences; David's life provides an example of both God's forgiveness and the repercussions of wrongdoing.
The document discusses wanting something better and fretting about what others have. It advises not fretting because it is spiritually and emotionally harmful. It can damage one's relationship with God by making them question God's fairness or concern for them. The document also provides reasons one should not fret, such as the wicked being destroyed by God while the righteous will inherit the land. It encourages trusting, delighting, and committing one's ways to God instead of fretting.
This document discusses the problem of sin and walking in the light. It explores the concept of walking in darkness versus walking in the light, and how we cannot maintain a relationship with God if we walk in darkness. It notes that some believe in "yo-yo Christianity" where one's salvation depends on whether they are in or out of fellowship with God based on their sins. However, the document suggests that God demands growth, not perfection, and discusses how Paul struggled against sin yet was still righteous. It emphasizes that if we are not struggling against sin, we may have been overcome by the devil.
Go On To Maturity - Completing HolinessDave Stewart
The document discusses bringing holiness to completion through fearing God. It encourages separating from unclean and worldly influences, cleansing oneself, and dwelling in God's promises. Some ways to complete holiness mentioned are praising God, doing good, sharing with others, and bearing reproach willingly. The overall message is about pursuing holiness by walking with God and avoiding sin.
relation, Everyone has the relationship, becomes an enemy, rock, being-save...franktsao4
Sometimes I often hear someone to say, I have a relationship with God, but what kind of relationship? Is it like Chinese saying, If there is relationship, then, there is no concern. However, if there is no relationship, then, it is a big concerns. However what kind of relationship, due to polite reasons, usually don't carefully ask in the world. The language of the world is often like this, it will not be clear. But it is also because of this, the conflict between each other can be reduced, but this is a false appearance. One day, you will know that it is a misunderstanding between each other.
Only by curing the family can we lead the church? Why is there a division, h...franktsao4
Chinese people often say that it is necessary to cultivate one’s body and one’s family to govern the country , then, conquer the world. But is that so in the kingdom of God? If so, then what should be different? Why does God say that you are a friend of the world and that you are an enemy of me? So a concept that seems easy to understand is a trap that is easy to fall into. So when we apply it to the church, how should we do it, then what is the standard, whether we will be deceived by the surface illusion, and did not choose disciples who fit God’s will to manage the church
The document discusses Jesus' encounter with the Sadducees where they try to trap him regarding the resurrection. The Sadducees did not believe in resurrection according to the writings of Josephus. They used a story from Moses involving a woman with multiple brothers-in-law to have children to ridicule the idea of resurrection. Jesus responds by saying God is the God of the living, not the dead, and cites Moses as evidence for resurrection from a passage about the burning bush. The document encourages readers to have open minds about resurrection like Moses did and to walk as children of God in light of resurrection.

A Prize Worthy of the Race - Phil. 3:2-14David Turner
Salvation is just the beginning. Every believer enters a race. No man's race is the same. God has a special event designed for each of us. Paul gives us instructions on how to run our race. Download PowerPoint at BibleGuy.org
This document provides instructions for taking a faith questionnaire to understand one's beliefs. It contains 42 statements about faith and spirituality.

The highest scores indicate which faith path or paths currently describe the respondent's beliefs.
1. Pop quizzes in school are sudden, unannounced exams that are more difficult than planned tests. Spiritual pop quizzes, or times of testing of one's faith, can similarly be intense, heated experiences.
2. Spiritual pop quizzes are inevitable parts of the Christian experience. Tests of faith are normal and cannot be avoided, as the Bible says trials will come to all believers.
3. God allows different types of spiritual pop quizzes, or trials, tailored to individuals, in order to mature one's faith. Though difficult, these times of testing are purposeful and brief.

The document discusses several key points about the Quran:
1) The Quran could not have been invented by anyone other than Allah, as it confirms previous scriptures and provides guidance for mankind with no inconsistencies.
2) Those who doubt are challenged to produce a single surah like the Quran or find any incongruity within it, which humans and jinn together are unable to do.
3) When reciting the Quran, one should seek refuge in Allah and ponder its meaning to attain mercy and guidance.
The document contains a quiz about the inspiration and authority of the Bible. The questions test beliefs such as: the Word of God refers to Christ; the Bible's focus is on Christ, not just the patriarchs; the thoughts and message came directly from God, not just from the writers themselves; and the purpose is to convey God's plan of salvation through Christ. Getting guidance from the Holy Spirit is important when studying scripture. Science cannot determine the truth of the Bible; only scripture can interpret scripture.

It warns against being spoiled through philosophy and vain deceit that are not based on Christ. It emphasizes taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. When worldviews clash, Christians are called to continue in prayer with thanksgiving and to rejoice in difficult times, knowing their joy comes from the Lord.

The dire circumstances that threaten to ruin your life may actually be a step on the path to a life far greater than you've dreamed of.
This document contains excerpts from the Bible discussing the sinfulness of presumption. Presumption involves trying to think for God rather than obeying His commands. It demeans God by elevating human thoughts above His. The Pharisees were guilty of presumption by adding to and taking away from God's word. Jesus strongly denounced them for rejecting God's commandments in favor of their own traditions. The consequences of presumption include being struck down, as with Nadab and Abihu, or being rejected by God, as with Saul. True obedience, like Noah constructing the ark, results in blessing. The document encourages self-reflection on whether one's actions honor or dishonor God.
1) The document discusses how modern society does not highly value sex and intimacy in the way that God intends. It presents survey data showing declining views of activities like cohabitation and sex outside of marriage as morally acceptable.
2) In contrast, the document argues that God loves sex and intimacy within marriage, citing several biblical passages describing this sacred bond between husband and wife.
3) The document calls on Christians to uphold God's radical vision for sexual purity and intimacy only between married couples. It warns that lust and immorality can damage both body and spirit, and urges believers to follow God's word rather than their desires.
Session 6 Overcoming Hindrances to Fulfilling Your DestinyOs Hillman
This document summarizes a session on overcoming hindrances to fulfilling one's destiny. It discusses four primary hindrances: 1) an unbiblical view of work and ministry that separates sacred and secular, 2) the influence of Greek philosophy over Hebrew roots that prioritizes intellect over heart, 3) a religious spirit that maintains the status quo, and 4) generational strongholds and childhood wounds. It emphasizes that spiritual warfare involves recognizing and demolishing strongholds, which are developed through seeking to meet needs apart from God, in order to experience God's love freely.
Every Christian has two natures - an old sinful nature and a new nature given at salvation - that are constantly fighting for control. At any point in time, one nature is dominating because both cannot be in control simultaneously. While the old nature controls unbelievers, Christians can choose which nature guides their actions by putting on the new self and yielding to God or by giving in to sinful desires.
The document discusses why one must stop their "chariot" or life's journey and obey the gospel of Jesus Christ to be saved. It addresses common misconceptions that moral goodness, religious acts, faith alone, or prayer alone are sufficient for salvation. It notes how the Ethiopian man in Acts 8, who was morally good, religious, reading Scripture and a man of faith, still needed to be baptized by immersion to be saved when Philip preached Jesus to him. The document urges stopping one's chariot now due to life's brevity, the soul's value, impending judgment, and the necessity of obedience to be saved and avoid eternal punishment.
The document provides revision materials for a GCSE religious education exam, including:
- Links to online revision resources on various RE topics such as science and religion, medical ethics, and peace and justice.
- Outlines of what Christians believe about the origins of the world, treatment of animals, abortion, euthanasia, and other medical issues.
- Descriptions of Christian perspectives on wealth and poverty, pacifism, just war theory, and use of violence.
- Previous exam questions on these topics, asking students to describe beliefs, explain viewpoints, and discuss whether they agree with given statements.
This document discusses how, as Christians, our actions affect our lives, faith, and relationship with God. It notes that we should not think we can have a "do whatever you want" day, as our actions have consequences. The Bible passage in Galatians 6 supports this, stating that we reap what we sow - if we sow to our fleshly desires, we will reap destruction, but if we sow to the spirit, we will reap eternal life. Only through Jesus' perfect sacrifice and choices can we be brought to God. Our lives and steps are ordained by God, so we must consider how our actions impact our relationship with Him.
This document discusses how as Christians, we should not view any day as an "eat or do whatever you want" day. It cites several Bible passages reminding readers that our actions have consequences and that we should aim to please God rather than our own desires. While bad things sometimes happen to righteous people, God can turn curses into blessings and uses all situations for good according to his plans and for those who love him. The document encourages examining how one's own actions have led to negative or positive consequences, and recognizing God's hand in all circumstances.
Jim William's message "Finishing Well" from the Luis Palau Association Alliance Ministries Pacific Northwest Day of Prayer, Dec 1, 2011.
From 2 Tim 4.6-22.
This document contains a summary of a Christian worldview workshop on the problem of evil in the world. It discusses how sin entered the world when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, resulting in suffering, pain and death. It examines two types of evil: natural evils like disasters, and moral evils caused by human free will and sin. While evil poses challenges to faith, Christianity maintains that God respects human freedom and has a plan for redemption through Jesus Christ. The workshop also addresses philosophical responses to the problem of evil from naturalism, transcendentalism, and Christianity.
The document discusses the importance of trusting fully in God rather than relying on one's own understanding. It provides several Bible verses exhorting believers to trust in God with all their heart and seek his will. When people trust God, he directs their paths and keeps them safe. In contrast, depending on one's own wisdom is dangerous. The document encourages reading God's word to understand his will, praying for guidance, sacrificing one's will to God's, and trusting that he will answer and direct believers' paths.

Joshua reminded the Israelites to obey God's commands as written in the law of Moses and to not worship or associate with the pagan nations around them. If they did this, God would fight for them and they would be victorious, as He had been with them so far. Joshua urged the Israelites to remain faithful to God as they had been until that day.

The document discusses how to overcome the world as a Christian. It explains that there are three things that make up "all that is in the world" - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. It provides examples of how these manifest and encourages believers to overcome temptations and cravings by putting their flesh to death through repentance and fasting. The ultimate goal is to die to the world and be led by the Spirit of God instead of yielding to sinful desires.
The document discusses ethics and morality regarding sex and sexuality from a Christian perspective. It provides summaries of responses to arguments about pornography and art, reviews biblical passages about marriage and sexuality, and gives examples of both misguided and appropriate discussions of intimacy within marriage. The overall message is that Christianity bases its ethics on an absolute moral standard from God as revealed in the Bible.

This document appears to be promoting a youth camp called Silver State Baptist Youth Camp for 2014. It references characters and themes from the classic sitcom Gilligan's Island, with names like The Skipper, Mary Ann, and Gilligan. The document humorously suggests the camp will be an adventurous experience like being shipwrecked on a deserted island, with courageous counselors to guide the way like the fearless crew from the show. It concludes by saying the campers would be lost without the courageous counselors, similar to the plot of the Gilligan's Island TV show.

The document discusses similarities between House Sparrows and Christians based on behaviors of House Sparrows. It notes that House Sparrows roost communally with nested groups, engage in social activities like feeding together, and can convince other birds to join their flock, similar to behaviors described in Acts. Additionally, though not considered noble birds, House Sparrows have adapted to various living conditions and spread throughout the world, just as Christians spread the word of God.
This document discusses astrology from several perspectives. It begins by providing common definitions of astrology as either a science of finding meaning in celestial bodies or a religious belief system assigning gods control over human anatomy. However, it argues that astrology is not actually related to astronomical objects and is instead influenced by fallen angels. The document notes that while astrology promises exciting insights, the Bible condemns divination and identifies its true powers as demons. It concludes by listing six facts debunking astrology's claims of being a science and warns readers to stay away from astrology.

The overall message is that spiritual principles and characteristics like faith, initiative, vision, and yieldedness are essential for achieving success in life.
Christ's Resurrection: A Chronological Order of EventsCary Monaco
The document outlines a chronological order of events surrounding Jesus Christ's resurrection according to the gospels. It describes that early in the morning, Mary Magdalene discovered the empty tomb and informed Peter and John. Later, other women arrived at the tomb and encountered angels who told them Jesus had risen. Jesus then appeared first to Mary Magdalene, then to other women, and later in the day to Peter, two disciples on the road to Emmaus, and the remaining disciples minus Thomas. Jesus appeared again a week later to the disciples including Thomas.
Islam means submission, and Muslims believe there are two classes of people: those who have submitted to Islam (Dar-ul-Islam) and those who resist it (Dar-ul-harb). The core beliefs of Islam are summarized as five rules of faith, including reciting the confession of faith, daily prayer toward Mecca, fasting during Ramadan, almsgiving, and attempting the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once. The document also notes there are differences between the majority Sunni and minority Shiite sects of Islam regarding religious leadership.
This document discusses the biblical prophecies about and fulfillment of Jesus Christ's birth. It describes how sin entered the world through Adam, but God provided salvation through Jesus. Several Old Testament prophecies foretold that the Messiah would be born of a virgin in Bethlehem, and come humbly. Angels then announced to shepherds and Mary/Joseph that Jesus would be born, with his birth arranged through the Roman census. Jesus's birth in the manger fulfilled these prophecies, and the shepherds went to spread the word about the Savior.
The document outlines God's design and empowerment of the family. It discusses that God's design calls for the husband to lead and care for his wife, the wife to help her husband, and children to obey their parents. It further argues that for a family to fulfill God's design, each member must be empowered and controlled by the Holy Spirit to submit to His guidance in their roles.
Memorial Day started after the Civil War to honor those who died fighting in the war. In 1868, the commander of the Grand Army of the Republic designated May 30 as Decoration Day, a day for decorating graves with flowers. The first large observance was held that year at Arlington National Cemetery, where people decorated both Union and Confederate graves. By the late 1800s, Memorial Day ceremonies were common across the country, though it was not until after World War I that the holiday was expanded to honor those who died in all American wars.

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
