The document compares and contrasts the early churches of Ephesus and Smyrna based on passages from Revelation chapter 2. It notes that Ephesus had a large population of 400,000-500,000 people while Smyrna had 100,000. For Ephesus, Jesus commends their hard work and perseverance but rebukes them for abandoning their first love and calls them to repent. For Smyrna, Jesus acknowledges their poverty but says they are rich, indicating suffering does not mean doing something wrong.

Maundy Thursday
This document provides commentary and instructions for commemorating Maundy Thursday, beginning with an introduction noting how today marks three important days remembering Jesus instituting the Eucharist, his priesthood, and commandment of love. Sections then give background on the readings and explain the significance of rituals like foot washing, Eucharistic celebration, and procession to the altar of repose to meditate on Jesus' suffering. The document concludes with a list of materials needed to conduct the Maundy Thursday service.
Jesus’ early ministry
Jesus called several apostles along the Sea of Galilee, including Andrew, Peter, James, and John. He encountered Levi, a tax collector, and told him to follow. Jesus later performed his first miracle at a wedding in Cana, where he turned water into wine after the host ran out. This revealed his glory and caused his disciples to believe in him. He appointed 12 apostles to preach and drive out demons.
Acts; Chapter 14
The document provides a detailed summary of Acts 13-14 from the Bible. It describes how Paul and Barnabas were sent out as the first missionary team by the church in Antioch. They preached in various cities including Salamis, Paphos, Pisidian Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe. They faced opposition from Jews in some areas but had success converting Gentiles. After completing their journey, Paul and Barnabas returned to strengthen the new believers and appoint elders in the churches before reporting back to Antioch.
The Miracles Of Jesus Presentation
The document summarizes Jesus' miracles as reported in the Gospels, including turning water into wine, feeding over 5,000 people with just a few loaves of bread and fish, calming a storm, walking on water, raising people from the dead, and curing diseases. It provides more detail on the feeding of the 5,000, noting that Jesus had his disciples make the crowd sit in groups and blessed and broke five loaves and two fish to feed them all. The document asserts that Jesus performed miracles out of compassion to help people rather than to demonstrate his own power, and that faith in healing sometimes contributed to cures.

Healing on the wrong day
This document summarizes a passage from the book of John describing Jesus healing a man on the Sabbath. It describes how Jesus heals a man who had been ill for 38 years at the pool of Bethesda. Religious leaders criticize Jesus for violating the Sabbath by commanding the man to carry his mat. The document contrasts the "letter of the law" approach of the religious leaders with Jesus' embodiment of the "spirit of the law" in showing compassion.
A meaningful miracle
At a wedding in Cana, Galilee, Jesus performs his first miracle when called upon by his mother Mary. The wedding hosts had run out of wine for their guests. Jesus instructs the servants to fill large stone jars with water, and then turns the water into wine. The master of ceremonies is surprised by the high quality of the wine, not realizing it was Jesus who provided it. This miracle revealed Jesus' divine glory and his disciples put their faith in him.
John 1v16 living generousley
The document references John 1:16 which discusses how Jesus Christ, who preceded Moses, provided grace upon grace through his fullness. It notes how Jesus provides endless giving grace according to this verse.

Topsy Turvey Kingdom
The document discusses lessons that can be learned from Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and the Magi in the Christmas story. It says that Mary teaches that God values the young and women, and can handle questions. Joseph teaches that God values ordinary people and knows faith is difficult. The shepherds teach not to let theology blind us to God's surprises and it takes faith to recognize the king. The Magi teach that the Kingdom is for everyone everywhere and God is greater than expected. The Kingdom of Heaven is described as surprising, nonsensical, and where normal expectations are turned upside down.
Matt. 24'44 be prepared!
Jesus teaches that his return will be like an unexpected event that everyone should be prepared for at all times through faithful service, witnessing to others, and living holy lives. Though the timing is unknown, Christians must persevere and be ready for Christ's glorious and visible return while continuing their witness and service to others.

Although Abram had no children at the time, he believed God's promise. God credited Abram's faith as righteousness, expressing his grace rather than Abram's worthiness.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
