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.
A View From The Cross through the Eyes of a FriendChris Gallagher

As Jesus was dying, he told his mother that John would be her son, showing his deep care and friendship for his followers. True friendship is shown through sacrificial love, as Jesus demonstrated by giving his life for his friends. The passage encourages reflecting on whether one's closest relationships are with earthly or heavenly friends, and spending time in conversation with God.

Jesus and his disciples were traveling to Jerusalem. Jesus told them for the third time that in Jerusalem he would be betrayed, condemned to death by the Jewish leaders, mocked, flogged, spit on, and crucified, but would rise again on the third day. Jesus' death on the cross was necessary because all humans are sinners deserving of death, and he became the substitute and payment for sins so that people could be forgiven and reconciled to God.

1) Jesus teaches that we should forgive others not just 7 times but 77 times, redefining what grace looks like.
2) We are all desperately in need of grace, as no one can repay their debt on their own.
3) Those who have received grace should share it with others, forgiving others as they have been forgiven.

God is also faithful in protecting from temptation, the evil one, and bringing us to salvation.

The document discusses the biblical concept of faithfulness as a fruit of the Spirit. It defines faithfulness as being rooted in God's unending love, mercy, and covenant loyalty. God's faithfulness is seen in his keeping of promises, bringing triumph to sufferers, forgiving confessed sins, and helping with temptation. For humans, faithfulness means being devoted to God rather than money and keeping one's word even if it causes personal harm. The document urges measuring God's faithfulness by his promises rather than one's circumstances.
According to statistics, over half of South Africans live below the poverty line, and economic inequality remains high despite rising average incomes.

This message is Part 6 of the series “The Miracle Of Mercy” by Pastor Chuck Bernal. In this message Pastor Chuck talks about how we can help people move “From Misery To Mercy”.

The Miracle of Mercy - Part 6 - From Misery To MercyLifePointe Church
This document summarizes a sermon about turning misery into mercy based on a Bible passage. In the passage, Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan to answer a scholar's question about who qualifies as a neighbor. The parable tells of a traveler who was robbed, beaten, and left for dead, and was helped by an unlikely character, a Samaritan, showing him mercy. Jesus tells the scholar to go and do likewise, showing mercy to others. The sermon notes that loving God and loving people are inseparable, and religious activity without love is worthless. It encourages seeing the hurting people around us and treating others with the same mercy we desire for ourselves.

The document summarizes the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, in which a priest and Levite ignore an injured man on the side of the road, while a Samaritan stops to help him. It calls Christians to follow the Samaritan's example by showing compassion to all people in need, regardless of who they are, as a requirement to inherit eternal life.
M2014 s80 won't you be my neighbor 10 19-14 sermonJames Bradshaw
1) Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan in response to a lawyer asking how to inherit eternal life. In the parable, a Samaritan helps an injured man while a priest and Levite do not, showing that neighbors are those who show mercy.
2) Jesus tells the lawyer that he must go and likewise show mercy to others, including those of other faiths or backgrounds. Christians are called to help everyone in need as an act of neighborly love.
Jesus heals a man with leprosy by touching him and saying "Be clean". Despite Jesus' instructions, news of the healing spreads. Jesus often withdraws to lonely places to pray. A man asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus tells him to love God and love his neighbor. The man asks who his neighbor is, and Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan, showing that the neighbor is the one who helped the injured man, regardless of his religion or nationality.
The document discusses the biblical story of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10:25-37. It tells how a priest and Levite ignored a man who was beaten by robbers, while a Samaritan helped the man. Jesus tells the parable to teach about being a neighbor and serving others. The document encourages forming a "Third Man Society" to selflessly serve and help others like the Good Samaritan did.
A lawyer asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus tells him to love God and love his neighbor. The lawyer then asks who his neighbor is. Jesus responds by telling the Parable of the Good Samaritan. In the parable, a Samaritan helps an injured man on the side of the road when others passed him by. Jesus asks the lawyer which person was a neighbor to the injured man, and the lawyer responds that it was the one who showed him mercy. Jesus then tells the lawyer to go and do likewise.
The document is a collection of passages that discuss themes of compassion, mercy, and caring for others, especially immigrants and strangers. It includes the parable of the Good Samaritan, which tells the story of a Samaritan helping a injured man, in contrast to others who passed by without helping. It also discusses how in Worthington, Minnesota, tensions have risen over the town's growing immigrant population, though the local bus driver who transports immigrant children to school opposes immigration.
The Parable of the Good Samaritan is a wonderful story that Jesus tells to illustrate how we have to love our neighbors as ourselves. It is about a generous person who was ready to provide help to a stranger in distress without hesitation. We should never ignore people when they are in need and assist them no matter who or what they are.

The document discusses values of community engagement and disciple-making. It outlines phases of developing disciple-making groups over time from 2006-2015. Key Bible passages from Luke discuss loving God and others, and the parable of the Good Samaritan showing mercy to those in need. The document encourages doing good works in the community and among believers.
The document summarizes the Parable of the Good Samaritan told by Jesus in response to a question from a lawyer. In the parable, a traveler is beaten and left for dead on the side of the road. First a priest and then a Levite pass by without helping, but a Samaritan stops to aid the man, despite Samaritans being disliked by Jews. Jesus uses the parable to teach that neighbors are those in need regardless of religion or identity, and that the command to love others requires compassionate action. The parable's lessons are to set aside prejudice and help those in need, that all people are neighbors, and that no one can perfectly follow God's law without grace
This document provides a summary of key teachings from the Gospel of Luke. It discusses Jesus' authority in his teachings, as noted in Luke 4:32. It then outlines the Sermon on the Mount from Luke 6:20-49, covering topics like the Beatitudes, loving enemies, and listening and doing. Another section examines Jesus' response to a lawyer's question about inheriting eternal life in Luke 10:25-37, telling the parable of the Good Samaritan. The document emphasizes that all people are equal in God's eyes and should show mercy to their neighbors.
The document discusses how God speaks through nature, scripture, and directly to the soul. It explores passages from Psalms and Romans about how the heavens declare God's glory and how his invisible attributes are clearly seen. It then examines how God has spoken through prophets and ultimately his Son Jesus Christ. The document emphasizes how God's word is perfect, sure, right, pure, and better than gold. It closes by looking at passages about obeying God's word and asking him to search one's heart and thoughts and lead in the right path.
This document summarizes the key passages from Luke 21:5-38 about signs of the end times. It discusses five major topics covered in the passages: warnings against deception, encouragement during persecution, the destruction of Jerusalem, future events, and assurances concerning these events. It also lists nine exhortations that Jesus gives about how people should respond during these times.
Sermon based on Luke 20:20-26
The key statement is "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and give to God what is God's"
This begs the question: What belongs to Caesar - and what belongs to God?
Jesus served his disciples by washing their feet, demonstrating humility and setting an example of serving others. This act showed his disciples, including Peter, that they should serve each other as Jesus served them. The document encourages readers to follow Jesus' example this week by serving others through humble acts.
The document analyzes the parable of the rich man and Lazarus from the Bible. It discusses that the primary purpose of the parable is to warn the wealthy about neglecting the poor, not to make broad statements about wealth, poverty, or the afterlife. It also notes that the rich man in the story is not depicted as inherently evil and the poor man not inherently righteous. The document questions what can be learned from the conversation between the rich man and Lazarus after their deaths.
This document summarizes Luke 15:1-10, which contains two parables told by Jesus - the Parable of the Lost Sheep and the Parable of the Lost Coin. It describes how tax collectors and sinners gathered around Jesus, while Pharisees and teachers of the law muttered complaints. Jesus told these parables to illustrate that there is more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents compared to ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance. Both parables depict a search for something lost and the finding of it, followed by celebration.
The document discusses Rembrandt's painting "The Return of the Prodigal Son" which depicts a biblical parable from Luke 15:11-32. The parable tells the story of a father welcoming home his younger son who had squandered his inheritance, much to the dismay of his older son. The painting and parable were intended for an audience of tax collectors and sinners as well as Pharisees and teachers of the law, and convey the message that God wants lost and hurting people to be found and helped.
Jesus teaches his disciples that they are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world by letting their good deeds shine before others so that people will glorify God; as salt preserves and enhances flavor and light illuminates darkness, the disciples must spread God's message to the world through their actions.
The document discusses Christian discipleship and what it looked like based on Jesus' teachings in the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1-12. It describes discipleship as an intentional process of being conformed to Christ's likeness over time. Jesus taught his disciples principles like humility, justice, and righteousness. Spiritual practices that embody these principles include things like refusing self-promotion, honoring others, helping the poor and oppressed, and treating all people fairly.
Jesus tells a parable about a farmer sowing seeds to illustrate different responses to God's word. Some seeds fall on the path and are eaten by birds, representing those who do not understand. Some fall on rocky ground and sprout quickly but die because they lack roots, representing those who receive God's word with joy but fall away in times of trouble. Other seeds are choked by thorns, representing those whose faith is undermined by worldly worries. The seeds that fall on good soil produce a large crop, representing those who understand and obey God's word.
This document discusses Christian discipleship and living according to God's teachings. It emphasizes knowing yourself, treating God's ways with reverence, trusting in God's goodness, and living by the Golden Rule of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you in everything. The core of a Christian's life is Jesus and following His teachings.
Christian discipleship is an intentional process by which a believer conforms to Christ's image over time. The document lists acts of righteousness like giving to the needy, praying, forgiving others, and fasting. However, it cautions that these acts should be done secretly and for God alone, not to be seen or honored by others or to appear holy.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth over six days. On each day, God created a new aspect of the world: light, sky and sea, land and plants, stars and sun, sea and air creatures, land animals and humans. The document describes each of the six days of creation from the Book of Genesis and encourages reflection on how to respond to reading of God's acts of creation.
The passage from 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 provides 3 things that are God's will for believers:
1. To rejoice always through joy and gladness.
2. To pray continually, as believers need the Holy Spirit's help in prayer.
3. To give thanks in all circumstances, even hard times, as the Spirit aids believers in accordance with God's will.
The document contains one-line Christian sayings and jokes followed by two Bible passages from 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12. The passages encourage Christians to love one another more and more, lead quiet lives, work with their hands, and conduct themselves in a way that wins respect from outsiders and does not make them dependent on others. The document provides commentary on these passages, noting that Paul did not need to instruct the Thessalonians on love because God had already taught them, but they must continue growing in love for all believers and non-believers. It explains that Paul was addressing misunderstandings about Christ's return that led some to quit working, and encourages Christians to avoid unnecessary involvement in worldly activities while
Paul and his companions were delighted to share the gospel with the Thessalonians despite facing opposition. They worked hard so as not to be a burden while preaching the gospel out of love, not seeking praise from humans but from God. Paul explains that developing friendships through good deeds allows opportunities to share the good news.
Mary praises God for choosing her to bear his son, saying he has done great things for her and lifted up the humble. She says God's mercy extends to those who fear him from generation to generation, that he has scattered the proud and brought down rulers but lifted up the humble. Mary stayed with Elizabeth for three months before returning home.
This document discusses two biblical stories - Ezekiel 37:1-14 and John 11:1-45 - that deal with sickness leading to health and death leading to life. It then discusses the concept of healthy, missional churches and lists characteristics of such churches, including centrality of God's word, life-transforming faith, evangelism, and transforming communities through compassion. It also lists four types of established churches and asks how these stories and concepts can be applied personally, spiritually, and congregationally.
Joseph's brothers had plotted to kill him out of jealousy but instead sold him into slavery. Though unjustly accused and imprisoned, Joseph rose to power in Egypt. When the brothers came seeking food during a famine, they feared Joseph would take revenge. However, Joseph told them not to be afraid, and that what they intended for harm, God intended for good. The document encourages gently restoring those who sin, carrying each other's burdens, and doing good to all people.
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

2. Luke 10:30-37
30 Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man
was traveling from Jerusalem down to
Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits.
They stripped him of his clothes, beat him
up, and left him half dead beside the road.
3. Luke 10:30-37
31 “By chance a priest came along. But when
he saw the man lying there, he crossed to
the other side of the road and passed him
by. 32 A Temple assistant walked over and
looked at him lying there, but he also
passed by on the other side.
4. Luke 10:30-37
33 “Then a despised Samaritan came
along, and when he saw the man, he felt
compassion for him. 34 Going over to
him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds
with olive oil and wine and
bandaged them. Then he put the man on
his own donkey and took him to an
inn, where he took care of him.
5. Luke 10:30-37
35 The next day he handed the innkeeper two
silver coins, telling him, „Take care of this
man. If his bill runs higher than this, I‟ll
pay you the next time I‟m here.‟
36 “Now which of these three would you say
was a neighbor to the man who was
attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked.
6. Luke 10:30-37
37 The man replied, “The one who showed
him mercy.”
Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the
same.”
