This is a study of Jesus urging us to interpret the times. We can interpret the weather by observing the the clouds and the wind, but we fail to observe the events of the present time. They missed the coming of the kingdom in the day of Jesus.
Rejecting the Influence of Secular Humanism
This document discusses the influence of worldviews and the need to reject secular humanism. It argues that everyone is influenced by a worldview that shapes their values and guides their life. The Bible presents a worldview that answers fundamental questions of life and reality. In contrast, humanist worldviews like rationalism, empiricism, and materialism reject biblical revelation. It's important to evaluate people's underlying beliefs and the practical implications of their worldview to avoid being deceived.
Jesus was christ the lord
This is a study of Jesus being Christ the Lord. Christ means Messiah, and so he was the one they were waiting for.
Motives for Missions
This document provides 17 reasons for why the evangelization of non-Christians (the heathen) is important. It argues that all people are lost and in need of salvation due to humanity's sinful nature. It cites biblical passages stating that Jesus is the only way to salvation and that he commands followers to spread the gospel message to all nations. The document emphasizes that God loves all people and that the whole world belongs to him. It concludes by stating that the Lord is worthy of all praise, worship, and honor.
Eight steps to follow to become successful
Eight steps to follow to become successfulRivers of Joy Baptist Church, Pastor/Teacher Charles e Whisnant
Jesus delivers the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount. The Beatitudes describe eight blessings or states of happiness that Jesus says belong to specific kinds of people: the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and those who are persecuted for righteousness. The document then provides commentary on each Beatitude, explaining what each means and how to develop those qualities in one's life to find true happiness and blessing from God.Finding Your Purpose
The Bible is very clear as to what our purpose in this life should be. Men in both the Old and New Testaments sought for and discovered life’s purpose. Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, according to scripture, discovered the futility of life when it is lived only for this world. He gives these concluding remarks in the book of Ecclesiastes: 13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil”. - Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.

Honest Faith: Suffering
Satan challenges God by saying that Job is only faithful because of the blessings God has given him. God allows Satan to take Job's possessions and children but not harm Job. Messengers tell Job that raiders have taken his livestock and servants, and a wind has killed his children. Job tears his clothes and worships God, saying "The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away" without blaming God.
Amazing Life - Overcoming Paralysis 01.06.19
The document discusses the importance of obedience to God and choosing life over death.

Restore 3
This document contains excerpts from the Bible discussing living as a new creation in Christ and having a true identity in Him. It encourages overcoming fear and acting courageously like Esther, who risked her life to save her people.

The overall message is about finding identity and purpose in Christ rather than living in fear.
Restore 2
The document discusses various items and their appraised values, including an Easter item valued at $100 originally but now $500,000, a picture of a grandmother valued at $700,000, and a Navajo blanket valued over $1,000,000. It also contains several biblical passages about being restored, receiving a new heart, and God healing his people. Key themes are restoration, faith overcoming obstacles, and not giving up despite present suffering.
Restore: to bring Back, to return to it's Original condition
We've got to allow God to strip down all the years of grime and cheap paint piled on top of each other. He needs to get down to the bare original so He can begin to fill the cracks, sand the rough edges, and make our hearts beautiful again. He’s already looked beneath the layers and has determined that we're all worth doing over.

Rise and Shine 2
This document contains excerpts from Isaiah 58:1-12 discussing true fasting and compassion. It urges people to loose chains of injustice, share food with hungry, and clothe the naked to call God.

How to Live a Better Story 3
Philip tells Nathanael about Jesus and invites him to "come and see." When Jesus sees Nathanael approaching, he says he saw Nathanael under a fig tree before Philip called him.

How to Live a Better Story 2
The document discusses living a better story and soaring like eagles. It encourages the reader not to stay down in depression but to rise up and see the sky.

The reader is asked if they are ready to soar with eagles.
How to Live a Better Story
This document discusses living a better story and finding the life you were meant for. It references several Bible verses about belief, adventure, wealth, faith, and God. It includes quotes about awakening the soul and living urgently instead of with complacency. The overall message encourages the reader to live purposefully and not settle for less than their full potential.
Because of Bethlehem Part 1
The document summarizes Jesus beginning his ministry in Galilee after John the Baptist was imprisoned. It quotes passages from Matthew and Isaiah about Jesus preaching in Galilee and the land receiving light after being in darkness. It also discusses how through Christ, people are no longer strangers, separated from God, or slaves to sin and darkness but can walk with God.

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

Leaving a Lasting Legacy
- 2. I will teach you hidden lessons from our past— stories we have heard and known, stories our ancestors handed down to us. We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders. Psalm 78:2-4
- 3. What is worth doing? Where should I go? What should I avoid?
- 6. This is God’s Word for my life in this Place and at this Time. Today I am a new creation in Christ, I am God’s very own, and I KNOW He has a purpose for my life.
- 7. Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.
- 8. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. 4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
- 9. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalm 1
- 10. Inheritance something from the past that is important or valuable in the present
- 11. “For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?” Ecclesiastes 6:12
- 12. The Pursuit of Happiness A good life gets passed on to the grandchildren; ill-gotten wealth ends up with good people. Pr 13:22 (Msg)
- 13. Happiness is a Spiritual CHOICE “When the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.” Matt 19:22 Happiness is not circumstantial but a spiritual PURSUIT
- 14. Happiness is ROOTED in JESUS Is it based on deeply held CONVICTIONS, backed by serious COMMITMENT, and demonstrated by CONDUCT “You planted eternity in the human hearts” Eccl 3:11
- 15. Happiness is a BY-PRODUCT of your Calling Calling is living God’s way and joining God’s mission. Calling elevates your life from a series of random events to a purposeful life. Is it challenging, meaningful, costly, other-oriented?
- 16. Aim for heaven and you will get earth thrown in, Aim for earth and you will get neither. CS Lewis
