This document discusses themes of knowing that God loves us, where we are going after death, and how to live as Christians. It provides biblical passages that discuss God's great love for humanity despite our sins, the hope we have in an eternal home in heaven with God, and how to live through reading scripture, prayer, and encouraging one another. The overall message is finding purpose, direction and strength through understanding God's love and promises in the Bible.
Weapons of Righteousness Romans 6:1-14David Turner
You’ve been Declared Righteous (innocent) in God’s Court (Justified).You’ve been set free from the Reign of Sin.
Now, Be what you’ve been declared to be!
This is the greatest truth of the Bible that we MUST know in order to really know God, enjoy our life with Him as His child and be the person we want to be for others.
Here is a list of scriptures that I rely upon to know for certain that God loves me more than I could ever imagine or deserve!

What do you hope for? Do you hope for a new job? A new relationship? A new adventure in life? A new smartphone? But first let me ask you this question, what is hope?
Hope looks at the future. You are hoping because there is something to look forward to. Hope is a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. Singles individual might hope in their work to achieve their goals and dream. Or they might hope for a relationship where they would receive the love they need. These can be the wrong anchors or sources of our hope.
Hebrews 12:2 says keep your eyes on Jesus who perfects our faith. It is actually also saying that we are to hope in God. Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Wherever there is full assurance of hope, there is faith. Faith is the full assurance of hope. Hope is part of Faith. Therefore, in Hebrews 12 God is the one who initiates, He is the author or source of our faith and He is the one who is the source of our hope. He is the one we are to hope for because he will be one who will make what we hope for come into a reality. Look at what Romans 15:13 says also.
Romans 15:13 - May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
God of hope means God is the source of hope. I like how its translated in the NLT version, it says this: “God, the source of hope, will.” Hope here in Greek is elpis meaning expectation, trust, confidence and expectation of what is sure or certain. We can now relate this to God the source of hope as God our source of confidence as we expect something to be sure or certain
That’s why I would like to define hope as CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE ANCHORED ON GOD WITH GREAT EXPECTATIONS
Great Expectations because God can do more than what we could think of our imagine and because we expect it to actually happen. As one famous preacher said, biblical hope is just not a desire but it expects it to happen

Powerpoint Presentation for Teaching the United Methodist Women's Study, "For the Love of God". This version was a 3.5 hour teaching session at Michigan Area School of the North in October 2010.
Do you not know: we are baptized into Jesus' death, you are a slave of sin or righteousness, as Christians we are dead to the law, the spirit of God dwells in you, a little sin spreads through the whole body, saints will judge the world, the unrighteous will not be in heaven, those who preach the gospel deserve payment, we should run the christian race to win, Christ in in you, friendship with the world is enmity with God.
The Powerpoint outlines for this series of lessons on The Great Commission were downloaded from the Duluth, GA Church of Christ website at: http://www.churchofchristduluthga.org/sermons.php

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

3. Knowing God loves me
4 But because of his great love for us, God,
who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with
Christ even when we were dead in
transgressions—it is by grace you have been
saved.
Ephesians 2
4. And I pray that you, being rooted and
established in love, 18 may have power,
together with all the Lord’s holy
people, to grasp how wide and long and
high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and
to know this love that surpasses
knowledge—that you may be filled to the
measure of all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3 17b – 19
Knowing God loves me
6. 37 …., in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him who loved
us. 38 For I am convinced that neither
death nor life, neither angels nor
demons,[k] neither the present nor the
future, nor any powers,39 neither height
nor depth, nor anything else in all
creation, will be able to separate us from
the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our
Lord. Romans 8
Knowing God loves me
8. Knowing where I am going
1For we know that when this earthly tent
we live in is taken down (that is, when we
die and leave this earthly body), we will
have a house in heaven, an eternal body
made for us by God himself and not by
human hands. 2 We grow weary in our
present bodies, and we long to put on our
heavenly bodies like new clothing. 3 For
we will put on heavenly bodies; we will
not be spirits without bodies.
9. 4 While we live in these earthly bodies,
we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we
want to die and get rid of these bodies
that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on
our new bodies so that these dying
bodies will be swallowed up by life. 5 God
himself has prepared us for this, and as a
guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians 5 (NLT)
Knowing where I am going
10. 13 And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want
you to know what will happen to the believers
who have died so you will not grieve like
people who have no hope. 14 For since we
believe that Jesus died and was raised to life
again, we also believe that when Jesus
returns, God will bring back with him the
believers who have died. 15 We tell you this
directly from the Lord: We who are still living
when the Lord returns will not meet him
ahead of those who have died.
Knowing where I am going
11. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from
heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice
of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of
God. First, the believers who have died will rise
from their graves. 17 Then, together with them,
we who are still alive and remain on the earth will
be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in
the air. Then we will be with the Lord
forever. 18 So encourage each other with these
words.
1 Thessalonians 4 vs 16 – 18 (NLT)
Knowing where I am going
12. 11 And this is what God has testified: He
has given us eternal life, and this life is in
his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life;
whoever does not have God’s Son does
not have life.
1 John 5 (NIV)
Knowing where I am going
13. I can only Imagine – Mercy Me
Knowing where I am going
15. … Christ’s love controls us. Since we
believe that Christ died for all, we also
believe that we have all died to our old
life. 15 He died for everyone so that those
who receive his new life will no longer
live for themselves. Instead, they will live
for Christ, who died and was raised for
them.
1 Corinthians 5 vs 14b & 15 (NLT)
Knowing how to live
16. There is no fear in love. But perfect love
drives out fear, because fear has to do
with punishment. The one who fears
is not made perfect in love.
1 John 4 vs 18 (NIV)
Knowing how to live
17. Some basics - Read
4 For everything that was written in the past was
written to teach us, so that through the endurance
taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they
provide we might have hope.
Romans 15 (NIV)
Knowing how to live
18. Some basics - Pray
Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our
prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and
probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to
our own advantage.
If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated.
If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help,
to defend far more desperate posts in the great
battle.
C. S. Lewis, The Efficacy of Prayer
Knowing how to live
19. Some basics - Encourage one another
24 And let us consider how we may spur one another
on towards love and good deeds, 25 not giving up
meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing,
but encouraging one another – and all the more as
you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10 (NIV)
Knowing how to live
