What baptism does not do
Baptism does not remove physical dirt or change one's heart. It does not take away the desire to sin or assure salvation alone without obeying other commands. Baptism washes away sins, adds one to Christ and salvation, and gives new life, but it does not remove persecution, sickness, or death. One must continue in faith and obedience to have present and future salvation.

Holy Choices - an Introduction to Ignatian Decision-making
This document discusses discerning God's plan for one's life through making choices. It presents five assumptions: 1) God is real and present, 2) God has a plan for each person's uniqueness, 3) God actively guides people, 4) People are capable of being God-guided, and 5) People's decisions impact God's work through them. It encourages examining deepest desires and feelings for clues to God's work, and outlines tools like discernment of consolations and desolations, and the Examen prayer for guidance. The overall message is that through releasing attachments, paying attention to promptings, and choosing among "competing goods," one can discern and follow God's will.
Holy Choices - Introduction to Ignatian Decision-Makinig
Bill Faris guides us into the fundamental concepts and practices of discerning God's plans and making decisions as informed by the teaching of Ignatius Loyola.
Three kinds of rest, part three
A brief examination of the concept of practicing rest, observing a sabbath, and setting apart a "temple in time" the imitates God's rhythm of rest in creation.
Three Kinds of Rest, Part Two
This time the focus is on the rest that comes from our surrender to God's rule and reign. It is a taste of the future when the Lord's authority will be comprehensive and all creation will be at rest.
Three Kinds of Rest, part one
The document discusses three kinds of rest, focusing on the "Rest of the Soul with God". It describes this rest as ceasing our efforts to be righteous through our own works and instead trusting fully in Christ's finished work. Quotes from scripture emphasize abandoning our own works and entering God's rest through faith. The experience of this rest is likened to a weaned child resting contentedly with its mother. Voices like Augustine, Amy Carmichael, and Chuck Swindoll are quoted speaking of finding rest, clarity, and exhaustion in God's presence through meditation and focusing on Him.
How We Worship - Praise and Worship - Part Two
The document discusses how Christians should approach worship. It says worship should be infused with love, gratitude, awe, and humility. Worshippers must have clean hands and a pure heart through confessing sins. The document encourages worshipping with confidence based on having access to God through Jesus and forgiveness of sins. It presents worship as an act of relationship and fellowship with God through our position as his children in Christ.
Why Worship?
In part one of Easter series we look at worship and why the proper worship of God REALLY matters!
Peak Experiences
The document discusses spiritual "peak experiences" and their importance in a spiritual life with God. It describes research from psychologists Abraham Maslow and Vincent Crapanzano on peak experiences like rapture and ecstasy. These experiences can impart a sense of the sacred and often involve manifestations of God's presence. They are also sometimes accompanied by a sense of calling or commissioning, as seen in biblical examples from Isaiah and D.L. Moody. While temporary, peak experiences can transform awareness and be foretastes of eternal glory.
Rooted in Hope
This document discusses rooting more deeply into hope through faith in God. It begins by quoting passages from Romans that discuss how through faith we are made right with God and given hope through the Holy Spirit. It then defines hope as an optimistic state of mind about desired future outcomes. The document contrasts easy hope, which is surface level, with hard hope, which requires deeper roots and patient effort. It encourages rooting into the fountain of hope that God has placed within believers, which gives a good future outlook even in difficult times. Drinking from this fountain of hope causes relaxation and seeing beyond present struggles.
Rooted Deeply, Session 1, Rooted Deeply in Grace
God calls us to root ourselves deeply in grace by increasing our confidence in His commitment to forgive, love, and transform us. Going deeper into grace means going deeper into fellowship with God, into His love and transformation. The passage encourages going below the surface with God to see what He has done and still needs to do in our innermost being. Going deep with God, we find signs of His kingdom within us despite any shameful things, as He is our healer and savior.
Finishing Well, Raising the Temperature of Your Relationship
This document discusses ways to warm the temperature of a marriage relationship. It suggests creating "warm emotional memories" (WEMs) through date nights, acts of service, gifts, quality time, and words of affirmation. These positive emotional memories can counteract any "negative emotional memories" (NEMs). The document provides examples of joyful, humorous, sexy, or unique WEMs and recommends speaking graciously, using eye contact and touch to affirm one's spouse. The overall goal is to strengthen emotional intimacy through generating fond shared experiences.
Finishing well!, part 3
This document discusses three types of forgiveness: garden variety offenses which should be forgiven 70 x 7 times; selected forgiveness for bigger offenses which may allow for reconciliation; and aggressive forgiveness which is a form of spiritual warfare. It provides guidance on processing smaller offenses with humor and empathy. For larger offenses, it recommends using the four "C"s of confrontation: compliment, confess, confront, commit. The goals of forgiveness are to glorify God, open doors for healing, and allow God to work in both people. Forgiveness does not condone wrongs but breaks unwanted bonds and paves the way for repair.
Finishing well, Parts 1 and 2
This document summarizes the first two sessions of a married couples retreat focused on finishing well.
Session one discusses creating a shared vision for a fruitful marriage grounded in God's word. It provides scriptural examples of fruitfulness and encourages couples to describe their vision simply, shareably, and in a way that is meaningful to them.
Session two discusses how crises can hinder or help couples in running long and finishing well. It defines marital crisis, provides common types, and outlines ineffective versus effective crisis management. The session emphasizes that God's plan is for couples to grow from crisis through joining together, facing facts, communicating, and increasing spiritual resources. It provides examples of potential growth and hindrances to growth.
Introduction to a Good Life With God
Psalm 1 contrasts two ways of life - the way of the wicked and the way of the righteous. The righteous person's life is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields fruit and has leaves that do not wither. Their life prospers. A good life with God includes fruitfulness, prosperity, rest, belonging to God's community, purpose and destiny, access to God's wisdom, a clean conscience, and shalom - total well-being and satisfaction in life. The source of a good life with God is God himself as our creator, shepherd, father and potter who shapes our lives.
Mark 6 - Prophets Disrupt
Mark depicts both Jesus and John the Baptist in their prophetic roles as those who disrupt and challenge the status quo. God is breaking in! His rule changes things. Mark shows us the impact of God's claims on the powerful and the weak.
Mark 5 - Jesus Changes Hopeless Cases
In this chapter we have three "hopeless" cases who, in different ways, encounter the hope of Jesus Christ. Their lives are changed forever - 'cause that's what Jesus does in bringing hope to the hopeless.
Mark 4 - Owning Spiritual Maturity
The document discusses the parable of the sower from the Bible, in which seeds sown by a sower produced different results depending on the type of soil. It says Jesus places responsibility on individuals for their differing spiritual results. It then discusses that no one is fully spiritually mature upon becoming Christian, and that individuals are responsible for their own spiritual growth through learning practices like prayer, Bible reading, worship, sharing their faith, and resisting sin. Spiritual maturity requires both knowing spiritual truths and putting them into practice.
Introduction to Mark
This introduction to Mark's gospel emphasizes the good news concerning the inbreaking Kingdom of God as announced and spearheaded by Messiah, Jesus. Signs and Wonders attend. The crucifixion and resurrection ensure. Go tell the Good News! It's time!
Confronting Our Idols
The first example of idolatry in the Bible was in Exodus 32 - The Golden Calf story. What can we take from this to help us better understand and confront our own spiritual anxieties?
Greatest miracle
What is the greatest miracle you have ever witnessed? There is not greater miracle than a change of heart and soul. Even the Believer must remain open and committed to "contining conversion". Zacchaeus reminds us of what conversion looks like - a total change in "operating system".

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

Made to Worship
- 2. Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100
- 3. Can you recall the first time you experienced God’s presence during worship? What was happening around you? What were you feeling?
- 4. All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. Psalm 95:6 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. John 4:23
- 5. Worship is the activity of the human soul. It’s our response to what we value most. – Louie Giglio Webster’s definition of the verb worship – : to honor or respect (someone or something) as a god : to show respect and love for God or for a god especially by praying, having religious services, etc. : to love or honor (someone or something) very much or too much The question is not whether we worship, it’s who or what we worship. Think about the last concert or sporting even you attended. What were some of the ways you saw people responding to the game/musicians? Did you see worship happening? Our worship of God is our response to who he is in our lives.
- 6. Turns our attention towards God and draws us into his presence. Psalm 86:9 Psalm 5:1-3 Leads to repentance. Isaiah 6:5-8 Awakens our faith and opens the door to God’s power in our lives and circumstances. II Chron. 20:1-30 Comforts us in our grief. Psalm 10:17-18 Restores hope. Romans 15:13
- 7. Interrupts destructive and unhealthy thinking. Hab. 3:17-18 Phil. 4:8 Brings healing and recovery. Isaiah 58:8-9 Inspires our hearts to serve. Heb. 13:15-16 Draws us together in the body of Christ. Heb. 10:25 Leads us to the truth. John 4:24 Gives us vision for the future. Phil. 3:12-14
- 8. Music Prayer Meditation on God’s Word Dance Art Giving Serving Ministering to the poor Teaching What other languages of worship can you think of?
- 9. Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Romans 12:1
