M2014 s36 the state of this world 5 11-14 sermon
This document provides a summary of Jesus' prayer for his disciples in John 17:13-23. It discusses how Christians are called to be in the world but not of the world, avoiding sin and living by God's word. It outlines the steps to salvation, including hearing the gospel, believing, repenting of sins, confessing faith, being baptized, and living faithfully. Christians are added to the church when they are saved and should live by producing the fruit of the Spirit and relying on God's faithfulness to withstand temptation.
Made for a Mission
The passage discusses how God reconciled humanity to himself through Christ and gave believers the ministry of reconciliation. It says believers are Christ's ambassadors, implored to appeal to others to be reconciled to God. God wants believers to both serve other Christians through ministry and introduce unbelievers to God through their mission.
Eternal value
The document discusses how Christians should not love the things of the world like physical pleasure, possessions and pride, because these things are temporary and will fade away. It encourages doing what pleases God and loving others as Jesus loved, which will prove that Christians are his disciples. Christians are called to invest their time, talents and resources in good works prepared by God, and to consider what they have done with Jesus and their lives.
What If We Didn't Go Back
What if the next 10 years needs a better version of you.
A more powerful version, A more spiritual version, A more Holy, Godly, version.
All speculation aside, if the next 10 years requires a tougher, stronger, more patient version of you. What are you going to do?
Will we try to resuscitate something that is dead, or embrace something new.
A Mile High and a Mile Wide Aren't Enough
This is the first sermon in a topical series entitled "Growing Deep Growing Strong" Today's sermon suggests the importance of moving beyond measuring our Christian walk along a "Y" Axis of years since coming to Christ or an "X" Axis of Breadth of Christian service, as opposed to the "Z" Axis of depth in our relationship with God.
False disciples part 1
This document discusses false disciples according to Jesus' teachings in Matthew 7:21-29. It provides context that Jesus was calling people away from false religion to the true kingdom. Self-deception keeps many from entering, for reasons like being taught a false doctrine of assurance, failing self-examination, and focusing on religious activities over obedience. Jesus said there are two types of false disciples: those who say they follow Him but do not do His will, and those who hear His words but do not act on them. On judgment day, Jesus will deny ever knowing those who only pay lip service to following Him but live in continual disobedience.
Loving One Another 1 7 13 2008
The document discusses loving one another as Jesus commanded. It provides three keys to loving one another: give, connect, and elevate. It also shares several Bible verses about love, including Jesus commanding his followers to love one another as he loved them, and that their love for one another will prove they are his disciples. Loving one another comes from God, who showed his love by sending his Son. Believers are called to have love that overflows to each other and all people.
NT Puzzle - Generosity 2009.10.25
This document discusses what generous living means. It involves being generous with one's time, talents, and treasure. Generous living means not neglecting important matters like justice, mercy and faithfulness. It encourages setting aside money proportionally according to one's income to support God's people. True treasure is stored in heaven, not on earth, and one's heart will follow their treasure. The memory verse encourages remembering that it is more blessed to give than to receive.

Matthew 7:13-27 - Are you on the broad way leading to destruction or the narrow way that leads to life.
101128 psalm 117 a thanksgiving tweet
A Thanksgiving sermon on Psalm 117 presented November 28, 2010, at Palm Desert Church of Christ by Dale Wells
Prophecy
The document argues that the "last days" referred to in the New Testament occurred during the time of Jesus' ministry and the establishment of the early Christian church, not in modern times. It asserts that the last days were the end of the Jewish age and Old Covenant, and that events like the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 fulfilled Jesus' end times prophecies for the first century generation. The document concludes that the last days are behind us by over 1900 years, not still to come as claimed by some modern prophecy teachings.
Past Perfect_Perfect Mediator
The Bible tells us that there is only one God and that there is only one mediator between God and mankind, Jesus Christ. In this Easter sermon, we will explore Jesus' role as mediator and see that although Jesus is the perfect mediator, we are not guaranteed a perfect outcome. We must receive the grace that is freely offered to us in order to be truly reconciled to God.
What Every Christian Ought To Know Part1
The document discusses the importance of the Bible based on Jesus' teachings in Matthew 7:13-27. It summarizes that Jesus describes two paths in life - a narrow gate that leads to life and a broad gate that leads to destruction. It warns that many will claim to follow Jesus but their actions and foundations will show they are not truly saved. The document urges readers to obey God's word to validate they are on the right path and have a secure foundation.
Bright Pebbles: So Much Love
God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, Jesus, so that all who believe in him will have eternal life rather than perish. Jesus came to earth to teach people about God's love and brings God's love into the lives of those who believe in him. When people believe in Jesus, they can look forward to spending eternity with him in heaven and learn from the Bible about God's love, power, and plan for humanity through stories of Jesus' life.
05 the stranger
Jesus taught that the two greatest commandments are to love God and love your neighbor. Deuteronomy addresses loving neighbors in need, including strangers, foreigners, the fatherless, and widows. The Israelites were commanded to circumcise their hearts and not just physically, and to love strangers as God loves strangers by providing food and clothing despite having no needs of His own. God encouraged Israel to remember their experience as strangers in Egypt and to treat all people, including strangers and foreigners, with fairness and as full members of their community.
Covenants - 4 February 2018 - Bruce McCallum
The document discusses making covenant relationships central. It states that God is covenantal, and gives examples from scripture showing that God keeps his covenants. To think covenantally means to understand the nature of God's covenants as solemn agreements he initiates with humans. The document outlines how to establish a covenant relationship with God - through calling, entering into the covenant, and keeping its terms. It encourages focusing on covenantal faithfulness.
Prophecy
The document discusses Christian perspectives on the end times as described in the Old Testament. It explains that the "last days" began with a prophecy of Jacob concerning the 12 tribes of Israel, and refers specifically to events that would occur when only the tribe of Judah remained in covenant with God. It describes how the kingdom of Israel was divided after Solomon, with 10 tribes going into exile and only Judah remaining, fulfilling the condition for the last days. The restoration of Israel prophesied in the Old Testament refers to their gathering after having been without a king for a long period of time.
I Will Confess
The document discusses why God wants people to confess their sins. It argues that confessing helps people face reality, make real changes in their lives, and be liberated from their sins. God desires confession because it reminds people that he is faithful to forgive sins. The overall message is that confessing sins is essential for forgiveness and spiritual growth.

Zechariah's Song
Luke 1:67-79: Zechariah sang a song at the birth of his son, John. We can learn the importance of praising God: for deliverance, for promises kept, and for guiding light.
God's Message (G.M)
This document contains several Bible verses from both the Old and New Testaments. The verses discuss themes of repentance, forgiveness, loving God and others, believing in God, doing everything in love, and standing firm in faith. Specifically, the document includes verses encouraging Jonah to preach to Nineveh, Acts calling people to repentance, Matthew discussing John the Baptist's message of repentance and forgiveness being conditional on forgiving others, and several verses from Mark and John about loving God, people, and enemies.
Prophecy
This document discusses prophecies from the book of Daniel regarding the end times. It describes events during the persecution by Antiochus IV including the martyrdom of Jews who refused to renounce their faith. It then talks about Judas Maccabeus and others who aided the Jews after their fall. The document suggests these prophecies point to future persecutions of Jews and Christians until the time of the end. It claims Daniel's visions were meant to describe what will happen to God's people in the last days.
What is the Church?
Mt 16:18 "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it."
God Became Man - Made Right
The document discusses how Jesus Christ came to earth as a man to save humanity. It references several Bible passages from Romans, 2 Corinthians, John, and Philippians that describe how through Jesus' life, death and resurrection, he fulfilled God's plan to redeem mankind for their sins. The passages explain that through Jesus' obedience and sacrifice, he reversed the condemnation brought on by Adam's disobedience, and instead brought righteousness and salvation to all people.
6th july 2016 - The Ten Commandments
The 10 Commandments were given by God directly to Moses at Mount Sinai after delivering the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. They formed the basis of Jewish life, law, and faith. The Commandments can be divided into four that deal with man's relationship with God and six that deal with man's relationship with others. While no one can fully obey God's standard of holiness as laid out in the 10 Commandments, Jesus came to reconcile this dilemma and redeem humanity from sin through his sacrificial death and resurrection.

This document summarizes a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on November 8, 2015. The sermon discusses Genesis 18:20-25 and 19:12-17, which describe God deciding to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah due to their wickedness, and Abraham pleading with God to spare the cities for the sake of any righteous people living there. The summary is:
True prayer always begins with God, then considers justice, and finally includes man's pleading. God proposed to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah due to their sin. Abraham recognized God's justice and pleaded for mercy based on God's character as a just judge. Abraham trusted that God would spare the cities for even09 September 9, 2012 Matthew 5;17-48 High Expectations
Jesus preached about having high expectations for righteousness that surpass even the scribes and Pharisees. He did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. Jesus used examples from the Old Testament to illustrate how his teachings fulfill the spirit and intent behind the laws, not just their literal interpretation. He raised the bar for righteousness inwardly as well as outwardly. Though perfection is the goal, through Christ we can progress toward godly perfection by applying his teachings in our lives.
Evangelism
This document outlines six steps to salvation: 1) All have sinned and fall short of God's glory; 2) The penalty of sin is death, which is separation from God; 3) God made provision for salvation through Jesus' death and resurrection, which paid the penalty for sin; 4) Salvation cannot be earned through works but is a free gift from God; 5) To obtain salvation one must believe in Jesus and confess him as Lord; 6) The example prayer is to confess sins, accept Jesus as Savior and Lord, and ask to be cleansed and filled with the Holy Spirit.

2) Abraham pleads with God not to destroy the cities if righteous people are found within.
3) The angels warn Lot and his family to flee the impending destruction of Sodom, but Lot's sons-in-law do not believe the warning.Mediating church
The document discusses how the church must adapt to sharing the gospel message online, just as Jesus adapted his message for humanity. It argues that as God created the physical world and finds it good, so too technology created by humanity has potential for good. As Jesus incarnated himself in human form to teach and guide people, so too the church must not shy away from engaging with people online to spread its message to both believers and non-believers in the digital world. The church is called to steward and interpret God's creation, so it cannot remain aloof from technology but must embrace and guide people in their use of it.
09 September 9, 2012 Matthew 5;17 48 High Expectations
This document provides a summary of a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on September 9, 2012. The sermon discusses Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5:17-48 about fulfilling the law and having high expectations for righteousness. It argues that Jesus calls believers to pursue perfection in their attitudes and actions, though they will never fully achieve it in this life. The sermon uses numerous examples from the Old Testament to illustrate Jesus' teachings and show how he fulfilled the law.
4 lust of the eyes, flesh and the pride of life
This document discusses three things that can keep people out of heaven: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. It explores each of these concepts in detail from a biblical perspective. The lust of the flesh refers to sinful sexual desires like adultery and fornication. The lust of the eyes speaks to covetousness and desire for wealth and possessions. The pride of life involves vain craving for honor and a stubborn unwillingness to repent of sins. While many acknowledge God during Christmas, the document warns that failing to fully embrace God's salvation can result in being denied entrance into heaven.
Born again 2
God loved the world so much that he sent his only Son so that all who believe in him will have eternal life rather than perish. God did not send his Son to condemn the world but to save it. Those who believe in Jesus are not condemned, while those who do not believe are already condemned for not believing in God's Son. People love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil, and everyone who does wrong hates the light and avoids it to hide their works. But those whose lives are characterized by truth come to the light so their deeds done according to God may be seen.

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
