Symbols Of Who We Are (UMC Stockwell 24 June 2007)Mark Eutsler
The document discusses the identifying symbols of Stockwell UMC that represent who they are. It outlines several symbols including their building, sacraments, serving others, the Bible, and working together in mutually beneficial relationships. The sacraments allow members to experience God's presence and grace. The Bible is a symbol of God's word and a rule for faith and conduct. Serving others through leadership and community involvement is also a symbol. These symbols represent Stockwell UMC's identity and are demonstrated through their local and broader church activities.
This document discusses God's revelation to humanity through various means. It begins by explaining that God introduced Himself to initiate a relationship with humanity. God reveals Himself through both natural means like creation which shows His power and design, and supernatural means like prophets and scripture. The fullest revelation is through Jesus Christ, who reveals God and humanity. God continues to speak through the Church. God's revelation is contained in both Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, which the Church teaches. In response, we affirm our faith in God's revelations through the Apostles' Creed.
This document contains a prayer, passages from the Bible, and reflections on cultivating a culture of generosity. It discusses considering percentages and dollars in giving, planned and spontaneous giving, mercy and justice, using resources to strengthen relationships, and generosity as worship that looks to the present and future. Quotes encourage regular planned giving proportionate to income to support church life and ministry, and living generously as it reflects God's design and nature. It concludes with a prayer asking God to move people to generous giving as they have received.
The document summarizes youth mission camps organized by Teameffort Youth Mission Camps. The camps are designed to combine hard work, spiritual growth, and fun through service projects, evening programs with worship and messages, and opportunities for group bonding. Youth groups will work on service projects like removing an old roof and installing new shingles while being provided all necessary tools and materials. The goal is for youth to return to their churches feeling more connected to their group and excited about God's work through memorable shared experiences.
1) God calls all people to be disciples of Jesus, and calls some disciples to lead others in establishing God's purposes in the world.
2) God's call transcends barriers and includes a diversity of people, including those considered socially unacceptable like prostitutes, adulterers, and tax collectors.
3) True faith and doing God's will involves extending love to all people, seeking justice for everyone, and resisting injustice, not just professing beliefs.
The document contains prayers, scripture passages, and reflections on how the church can reach out through justice, mercy, and partnership. It encourages doing justice by addressing systems of injustice, extending mercy to those in need without reluctance, and walking in humble partnership with ministries through financial support and active involvement. The goal is to join God in making wrong things right and showing solidarity with those on the margins, as commanded by scripture.
God's plan is to spread knowledge of his glory and enthrone Jesus as Lord through a united and networking church. Disunity weakens the church while unity strengthens its witness according to scripture passages that describe the church as one body that is interconnected. Possible areas of collaboration between churches include advancing God's kingdom agenda, through which the manifold wisdom of God will be made known according to the vision of one author. A sanctified, connected, and united church working on God's agenda has yet to show the world what God can accomplish.
The document is a church calendar for March 7th. It includes the date, a note that it is the 3rd Sunday in Lent, and the name of the speaker. It also includes several bible verses on themes of faith, salvation through Christ, taking up one's cross, and finding strength and peace in God. It notes the name of the executive director of a local charity speaking. Overall, the document provides the order of service and readings for a church service on that date with a focus on Lenten and faith themes.

Despite being Christ’s church, we are invisible to our community (and perhaps each other). We’ve often thought of our purpose (work) in terms of “evangelism, edification, and benevolence.” While these are not incorrect, this lesson encourages us to think of the church’s purpose from a different angle, by examining five parables of Jesus that teach us that the church is to be a home, influence society, valuable and a net. (Some concepts in this lesson were adapted from Seth Godin.)
1. The document discusses the idea that having true faith in Christ means taking risks that rely on His power rather than ourselves, which can deepen one's faith, while playing it safe often means relying more on self than Christ.
2. It also discusses the idea that the traditional "two-chapter gospel" of believing in Jesus for salvation may be too small or narrow, and that the full gospel calls us to transform society through the church.
3. Other topics discussed include justification by grace through faith, the good news being for all people rather than just a select few, and what it means to be saved including believing in Jesus and living a transformed life that impacts others.
This document discusses the importance of evangelism and spreading the gospel. It defines evangelism as spreading the Christian gospel through preaching or witnessing, as commanded in Mark 16:15. It encourages Christians to recognize their role in fulfilling the great mission of spreading the gospel to all people. While not all will respond with obedience, God has commanded us to preach the gospel to every creature. The document provides tips on how to evangelize through using opportunities to share verbally or with materials, using abilities to sow, plant, teach, or follow up, and accommodating one's life to serve and identify with others in order to win them to Christ.
This document announces an interfaith event hosted by the Islamic Center of East Lansing to promote understanding between Muslims and the diverse community. It includes the program with guest speakers from various religious and community leaders. The goal is to strengthen bonds and continue dialogue between different groups through discussions of shared beliefs in wisdom, justice, forgiveness and promoting good over evil.
This document discusses strategies for reaching cities with the gospel message in the 21st century. It emphasizes the need to understand city cultures, meet social needs, build relationships through small groups, and work with the gifts of all church members. Preaching should be accompanied by acts of mercy. Success requires spiritual preparation through revival and reformation, allowing God to work through His people. Believers are called to have faith in God's responsibility to accomplish the work through their efforts.
Jesus is described as the greatest leader of all time based on his qualities of love, morality, integrity, humility and effectiveness. As a leader, Jesus served others by washing his disciples' feet, teaching the golden rule, and sacrificing himself on the cross. The document argues that Jesus continues to be a local leader today through his teachings in the Bible and influence on Christian churches around the world.
Simeon was a righteous and devout man in Jerusalem who was waiting for the Messiah. The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not die until he saw the Lord's Christ. When Joseph and Mary brought the infant Jesus to the temple to fulfill the requirements of the Law, Simeon was there. He took Jesus in his arms and praised God, saying he had seen God's salvation. An elderly prophetess named Anna was also in the temple, and she spoke to people about Jesus and his role in redeeming Jerusalem.
The document discusses the role of Christians as servants in the church and community. It provides several metaphors from the Bible that portray the church as a community of servants, such as the body of Christ and ambassadors of God. Christians are called to serve one another through interceding for each other, preaching the gospel, ensuring justice and support for vulnerable members. They should also cooperate in serving the needs of the community through using their spiritual gifts. The ultimate example is Jesus, who came to serve others rather than be served.
The document summarizes the key points of Jesus' Great Commission given in Matthew 28:16-20. It discusses that Jesus commissioned his disciples and all believers to make disciples of all nations by baptizing new believers and teaching them to obey Jesus' commands. It emphasizes that believers today are still called to help bring others into a relationship with Jesus through genuine relationships, prayer, and actively sharing the gospel message.
God created the world and everything in it through the power of his word. He created humans in his own image and likeness, making them stewards over creation. As God's creation, humans are called to reflect his goodness by being guardians of the world and examples to others.
This document summarizes biblical images of unity found in the New Testament. It discusses five key images: one people (1 Peter 2:9), one building/home (Ephesians 2:19-22), one temple (1 Corinthians 3:16-17), one body (1 Corinthians 12:12-26), and one shepherd and flock (John 10:1-11). Each image emphasizes that Christians are united as one in Christ despite their differences, and that divisions harm the church. The document encourages readers to maintain unity through obedience to Christ.
This document summarizes Jesus' teaching that those who do the will of God are part of his family, rather than just one's biological relatives. It discusses an episode where Jesus' mother and brothers come to see him, but Jesus says his true family is anyone committed to God's will. Doing God's will of loving him and others makes one Jesus' brother, sister or mother. The document encourages readers to build God's family by being understanding, enlightening and warm towards those undergoing trials. It describes an after school program that aims to rebuild children's trust and hope through creating a welcoming family atmosphere.
1) As ambassadors for Christ, Christians represent Christ to the world and are called to provide opportunities for people to become all that God intends them to be through churches, ministries, and service to the community.
2) To be an ambassador of Christ, one must put God's plan into action by being a good example through involvement in their church and community as well as sharing their faith and knowledge of the gospel with others.
3) To truly be an ambassador, one must have faith in Jesus Christ as their savior, be reconciled with God through faith in Christ's death and resurrection, and seek to enter God's kingdom by taking the message of Christ to the ends of the earth.
Tithing is used to support the work of the ministry, including paying salaries of pastors and church workers. It shows faith in God as our provider rather than ourselves. Tithes should be given to the local church, which then distributes the funds to higher organizations to support the work of preaching the gospel around the world. While tithing is an expression of faith, it does not contribute to our salvation, as salvation is a free gift received through faith alone. Tithing benefits both the giver through God's promised blessings and the church's ministry through financial support to spread the gospel message.

The document discusses 5 important things churches can do to reach people for Christ. It emphasizes that churches must love people as Jesus did, including those who are lost or have messy lives. It stresses the importance of living a good life and doing good deeds that others can see, so that they will respect Christians and come to faith. The document advocates adapting how the gospel is shared to best connect with different people and their needs. The overarching message is that sharing the good news of Jesus should be a top priority in Christians' lives.
This document outlines Jesus' commandment to welcome the righteous from the Gospel of Matthew. It discusses how disciples should work through adversity when facing rejection, wipe out differences between people, and accept, serve, and support other disciples. The document provides biblical references and examines how to apply Jesus' teachings on welcoming the righteous in today's context. It encourages discerning how to both minister to others and support other ministers to win heavenly rewards.
This document discusses the need for greater unity and inclusion among all people. It argues that God created humanity as both male and female in order to form a "we" that would grow together. However, today divisions exist that separate people into "them" and "those." The document calls for embracing diversity and building communion between all, including foreigners, migrants and refugees. It envisions an ever wider "we" that encompasses all of humanity as God intended. Borders should become places where people of different backgrounds encounter each other and form new bonds of shared humanity.
The document discusses adopting a missional approach and narrative by focusing on stewardship of gifts from God to love and serve neighbors and build up the church. It emphasizes telling stories of what God is doing through individuals, congregations, synods and the churchwide organization to shape a culture of abundance and generosity rather than scarcity. The document provides resources for storytelling and encourages examining the narratives communities tell themselves.
The document discusses the function and goals of Axis Church over the next three months. It will: 1) Study scripture to learn about God's mission (Missio Dei), 2) Develop an understanding of the Church, 3) Identify the qualities of their target community, and 4) Develop ministry plans tailored to their approach. The church believes the power of the gospel, not methods, saves people, and that the Word of God is the primary tool of salvation. The function of any church is to fulfill the Great Commandment to love God and others, the Great Commission to make disciples, and expand God's kingdom.

1) The document discusses strategies for effective urban missions and evangelism in a changing world.
2) It emphasizes expressing faith through lifestyle and explaining faith through systematic teaching, using creative approaches like relational evangelism, integral missions, and evangelistic Bible studies.
3) Training is important to understand different cultures and contexts and explore new witnessing strategies so believers can fulfill Christ's command to make disciples of all nations.
The document discusses changing metaphors for Christian mission in a changing world. It describes how mission is viewed differently in a post-Christian era, with demands for authenticity, unity, and seeing mission as God's work rather than the church's. It also discusses new opportunities, such as transforming communities and families. Finally, it proposes changing metaphors for mission from warrior to gardener, retailer to wholesaler, and hero to human.
Bridging the Gap: Can a Theology of Communication and Journalism Transform Co...waccna
The document discusses the importance of communication in Christian mission and theology. It argues that communication is central to Christianity as the Word became flesh through the incarnation. The Great Commission mandates Christians to communicate the gospel message to all people. Communication of the gospel is a divine command laid upon the church by God. The church exists to bring people into communion with God and each other through communication.
This document outlines a session on the new evangelization, calling Christians to witness their faith. It discusses how to share the gospel message today by proclaiming Christ's salvation and the basic truths of faith. The session encourages participants to reflect on how they can answer Christ's call to evangelize and discuss challenges to living as disciples who witness their faith.
The document discusses various styles of evangelism that congregations and individual Christians can employ. It describes the confrontational style which directly presents the law and gospel message, the conversational style which focuses on developing friendships as a way to naturally share the gospel, the collegiate style which provides rational arguments for the Christian faith, the conformational style of sharing one's personal testimony, and the come and see style which invites unchurched people to church events to encounter the gospel. The pastor's role is to equip Christians in these various styles and provide opportunities for evangelism in the congregation.
The document discusses several topics:
1. It provides a summary of the final issue of the Joyful Noise publication focusing on evangelism.
2. It discusses the song "Go Tell It on the Mountain" and how its lyrics about the birth of Jesus relate to evangelism.
3. It provides statistics about literacy issues among high school students, such as declining reading proficiency rates and high remediation needs.
This document summarizes key ideas from the book "Let the Nations Be Glad" by John Piper. Piper argues that worship, not missions, should be the ultimate goal of the church since God, not people, is ultimate. Worship fuels and motivates missions as the goal is to bring all nations to enjoy God's glory. Piper says a passion for God in worship must precede offering God in preaching. When the church pursues God's glory over people's good and worships God fully, both people and God will be rightly honored and missions will spread his light to all peoples.
The document discusses the relationship between the New Evangelization and social justice. It argues that social justice is an integral part of evangelization, as living out our faith through promoting justice and helping the vulnerable puts into practice Jesus' message. It also notes that acts of service can bring both the server and those served closer to Christ by sharing the Gospel. The bishops call Catholics to follow Jesus by seeking out the stranger, healing the sick, and welcoming the weary.
The key note presentation by Fr. John Hurley, CSP at the Catechetical Congress for the Diocese of Rockville Centre at St. John the Baptist High School in West Islip, NY
This document outlines Jesus' mission and how He calls Christians to continue that mission through evangelism. It provides Jesus' mission statements from the Bible to preach the gospel and make disciples. The mission statement of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is also given. Christians are called to mission as representatives of Christ, mingling with people to meet their needs and win their confidence before inviting them to follow Christ. God's plan for mission relies on His Spirit, not human might, and involves the cooperation of angels. Christians are given promises that if they devote themselves to Christ, the gospel will be preached to all nations before the end comes. A five-step plan from the Bible is provided for effective mission: calling, response, training
This document discusses making disciples for the 21st century. It defines a disciple as someone who forsakes all to follow Jesus, is willing to learn, commits to identifying with Christ's death through sacrifice, and responds in faith and obedience to Jesus' call. Effective discipleship involves lifelong learning and allowing Christ to transform us. Small groups are emphasized as the primary means of nurturing disciples through worship, community, nurture, support, outreach and mission. Empowered disciples rely on the Holy Spirit and use personal evangelism to witness and make more disciples.
This document discusses communicating the gospel and Christian mission through alternative media approaches. It suggests that alternative media can be dialogic, participatory, and give voice to marginalized groups. Some examples of alternative media mentioned include posters, pamphlets, audio/video recordings, radio, websites, and community newspapers. The document advocates for alternative media that promotes cultural understanding, social change, and non-profit goals over mass media's profit motives.

This document provides information about membership at Victory Christian Center. It outlines the church's purpose of reaching people with the message of Jesus so they can become devoted followers. It describes various ministries including weekend services, small groups, and the Growth Track program. It encourages members to join the Dream Team by using their gifts through various ministry roles. The document discusses the church's statement of faith, including beliefs in the Bible, Jesus Christ, and the need to be born again.
This document discusses the greatness of the Great Commission given by Jesus. It summarizes that the Great Commission contains a great truth about Jesus' lordship, a great command to make disciples of all nations, and a great promise that Jesus will be with believers. It emphasizes that Christians are called to do more than share the gospel, and are commanded to teach obedience to all that Jesus commanded. It encourages believers to prioritize obeying the Great Commission and to never allow obstacles to deter them from this task.
This document discusses strategies for reaching cities with the gospel message in the 21st century. It emphasizes getting to know the peculiarities and needs of cities, listening to their cries, preparing the ground through small groups, and adapting methods to make use of all spiritual gifts. Small groups are presented as an effective way to build relationships and meet people's needs, creating opportunities to share the eternal salvation message. The call to preach in cities is described as both imperative and personal, requiring a deeper spiritual experience and earnest planning through the power of the Holy Spirit.
This document discusses the need for continuing education for pastors and church leadership. It notes that organizational structures have been implemented to address changing pastoral needs and provide training for multicultural ministry. Continuing education is required in many professions to ensure up-to-date knowledge of laws, trends and research and address evolving fields. The document outlines continuing education requirements for various roles like teachers, administrators and certified teachers to maintain licenses. It stresses that lacking knowledge as a pastor could adversely impact those in the congregation, emphasizing the importance of professional development.
The workshop provided a blueprint for developing a Bible college based on All Nations Leadership Institute's experiences building their institution over 20 years. The blueprint outlines three phases: establishing a cornerstone by understanding the starting point and setting a direction; defining anchor points by determining what, who, and how to teach; and providing scaffolding and building by continuously progressing, assessing outcomes, and raising up teacher leaders while bridging supports and extending the base through technology, diversity, and legacy-building. The key takeaways center around foundational questions to consider in each phase of establishing and growing an effective Bible college.
Using biblical prophecy, this article seeks to reveal the identity, life, and purpose of Jesus through their fulfillment; examine the periods of His life to uncover the spiritual truths behind them; and establish the integrity of God’s Word for the world today.

Walking Through the Word 2
God communicates with humanity through two forms of revelation: natural and special. Natural revelation comes from observing and experiencing nature, while special revelation is God directly communicating through the Bible. Both reveal God's existence and power as Creator, but only special revelation in Scripture provides spiritual knowledge about who God is, humanity's purpose and fate, and how to live in a way that pleases God.
This document provides an overview of key events and people in the Old Testament of the Bible. It outlines periods such as the period of preparation from Noah to Abraham, the period of conquest led by Moses and Joshua where the Israelites took the promised land of Canaan, and periods of decline including division of kingdom and domination by foreign powers like Babylon and Rome. The document also summarizes important biblical stories like the flood, God's promise to Abraham, the Israelites' enslavement in Egypt followed by their exodus and 40 years in the wilderness before conquering Canaan under Joshua.
This document provides an overview of important people, events, places, and time periods in the Old Testament. It begins with God's first promise to Adam and Eve to send a deliverer after they sinned. Then it outlines the major figures and time periods in biblical history from Creation to the Exile and Return, including the Patriarchs, Exodus, time of the Judges, United Kingdom, Divided Kingdom, and Exile and Return. It also lists the corresponding geographic locations and provides brief summaries of key events.
The document discusses the biblical concept of dispensations. It defines a dispensation as a period of time in which God revealed His will to humanity in a particular way. The document outlines seven dispensations from the Bible: Innocence, Conscience, Human Government, Promise, Law, Grace, and the Millennial Kingdom. It provides overview and details about God's testing and dealings with humanity during each dispensation period from the creation to the present age of Grace and the future Millennial Kingdom.
This document summarizes a presentation on leading in spiritual greatness. It discusses the concepts of "Getting, Got it, Going" which relate to praise, passion, and practice.
Getting involves praiseful study of scripture to understand God's word and receive revelation from the Holy Spirit. Got it refers to how a praise-filled, Spirit-revealed understanding of scripture leads to a passionate pursuit of God's will. Going means putting that passion into practice through Spirit-led leadership.
The presentation uses examples from the Bible, particularly Mark 10:43-45, to illustrate these concepts and how they can apply to leadership as a servant of Christ in a multicultural church context. It promotes the All
