Some notes from recent teaching sessions - they are aimed at giving more of a background / preparatory idea about how a person might move into a position to be "anointed" by God.

In today’s society, Jesus Christ is often spoken about, and everything is Jesus Christ. Some young people in Sunday school even answer Jesus Christ no matter what the teacher asks. But Jesus Christ is not in the flesh today. Then, if a disciple want to follow Jesus Christ, just like in ancient times, how shall we do it in the present time. We must understand this matter clearly, and should not be shouting like slogans, and has no benefit. This chapter will discuss this issue in depth, I hope everyone can be benefit from this discussion.
Worship is a lifestyle, that expresses itself in extravagant and lavish service of the Lord. In this message we discover 6 key aspects of David's lifestyle that were affected by His worship of God. We take a close look at the Tabernacle of David and how the Church is a prophetic fulfillment of its rebuilding. We live in an hour when God is calling His people into a place of continuous worship and intercession, that will result in a great harvest of souls.
God is reviving the Church to a new place of intimacy through passionate worship. David reveals to us the heart of a worshipper. True worship is an expression of a heart that is awe of God's greatness. It is an overflow of a heart that is hungry for God, for His presence. True worship is an expression of a heart that is pursuing holiness as worship cannot take place outside of holiness. True worship comes from a heart that demonstrates undivided devotion in good times and bad, since the God we worship in unchangeable. Let us worship on earth as it is in heaven!
Disappointment. Discouragement. Hope. Our world has enough of the first two. Where can we find the third? As we continue “It Won’t Always Be Like This,” our series in the Old Testament prophecies of Micah, we see God’s answer to the question, “Where can we find hope?” Micah prophesied judgment and hard times ahead, but in chapter four the tone changes dramatically, and the picture is one of peace, security, and prosperity. But its source is found in none of the things commonly touted in our world today. Where and when can we find the life for which we all long? See Micah’s (and the Lord’s) answer in, “How to Get There From Here.”
Tit 2:11-14 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

What kind of ministry can I please God? Some people think that it is money. Some people think that it is the church's service, and the best role model is Jesus Christ on the cross is to present himself willingly. This is God's most joy. But what should we do today? From the discussion below, it can be seen that it is to abide by God’s commands so that God will be happy with our ministry, and this ministry is a full -time ministry, and the result of this ministry is to have wisdom, Knowledge, joy, and even wealth. This is the result of God's true joy.

The Significance of Being A Christian - A Person RebornRick Peterson
A Person Reborn is the first in a series of lessons on, "The Significance of Being A Christian." I found the outlines for this series of lessons at: http://executableoutlines.com/sig.htm
Bob Goff said, "We will never honor Christ if we forget how to honor one another!" We should certainly understand our need to honor and reverence God but the New Testament shows an honor and reverence between brothers and sisters in Christ. It was the Golden Rule on steroids! "Do unto others as you would have them do to you" was the foundation of all their relationships with one another. How do we get that back into the church today?
What is the real message of this little one chapter book? it is the story of forgiveness - Philemon had to forgive Philemon to receive him back. it is a story of reconciliation - restoring a relationship that had been lost. And it is a story of a changed relationship - from slave to brother; from master to brother!
Why is giving so important in our walk with God? Giving: makes me more like God; draws me closer to God, strengthens my faith; is an investment for eternity; and reveals my spiritual maturity.
The "little" book of Philemon is "huge" in teaching! When Paul wrote to Philemon he had an important message to send but he needed a way to reach a man like Philemon. In this message we dissect Paul's way of reaching Philemon with the truth of forgiveness, reconciliation and changed relationships.
Have you heard the fairy tale of the "Little Red Hen?" In this tale, the hen seeks help to being food to the barnyard but none of her friends will help. She goes out alone and finds the wheat, plants it, tends to it, cuts it, has it milled and bakes the cake. After the cake is made, everyone wants a piece but she says no! Is this how God treats us?
Giving is how we show gratitude for all that God has given to us. Giving is probably the greatest shortfall in the average Christian's life, especially here in the United States. The principles of giving are simple to understand, difficult to carry out because of our lack of faith and our greed. We are to give as we have prospered, as we have purposed and cheerfully.
152 years after Babylon conquered Jerusalem, Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem to repair its walls and gates. He encountered constant harassment and opposition but he and his people finished the job in 52 days! He had a vision to do good, he enlisted help from everyone and all the people "had a mind to work!"
Philippians 4:1-9 is some of the most beautiful of Paul's writings. Paul begins with an exhortation to put aside our petty differences and work together in the Kingdom of God. He encourages them to not be anxious but have a peace of mind that surpasses human understanding. His prayer is that all of the church would meditate on things honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent and worthy of praise!
Among all the kings of Judah and Israel, there were very few who "did what was right." Hezekiah was one of the good kings! Even though his father was evil, Hezekiah ushered in a period of spiritual renewal. Every renewal or awakening begins with one person and it is without regard to their ancestry. Every renewal begins with a return to God's word and has an effect on generations to come. Are you the one to begin our next "spiritual awakening?"
When the teacher called on you, were you ready? When we are called upon in the Kingdom of God, we should be ready. We should always be ready to meet God on His terms; We should always be ready to give an answer for the hope that lies within us; and we should always be ready for the Lord's return.
How do we define prosperity? It depends on whether we are defining according to God's word or the world's ideas. There is a worldly prosperity and there is a spiritual prosperity. What produces spiritual prosperity? Meditating on and obeying God's word; faith in God and His word; being content with Godliness and what He has given us. What is the value of spiritual prosperity? It abides and produces true success.
When we become Christ followers the old man is destroyed and the new man begins to emerge. In Ephesians 4:22-32 Paul describes this new nature: no lying, no sinful anger, no stealing, no corrupt words, no grieving the Holy Spirit, no bitterness and wrath but rather a kindness toward one another. Is the New Man showing in you?
There is only one way to heaven, Jesus Christ!! However, while there is only one way to God, we all experience different kinds of roads along the way. Some travel the road of persecution; others the road of loss; some the road of poverty and others the road of suffering. Don't compare your road to someone else's - God puts us on the road we NEED to travel. Regardless of which road God has decided for you to travel, keep your eyes on Jesus!
Jesus' letters to the seven churches in Asia are a roadmap for struggles in the 21st Century church. To the church in Ephesus He had one thing against them: They had left their "first love." What does this mean? Why is love so important? What might have happened to their "first love?" and what is Jesus' exhortation to that church?
Mourning is an indescribable ache to the heart. Mourning is a great time to learn God's compassion because He hurts when we hurt; God's faithfulness because He will never leave us; God's comfort because He yearns to comfort us.
What is stopping you from giving yourself entirely to God? For some it is the pursuit of wealth. For others, it may be the pursuit of pleasure. Still others may be fearful of what others will think and say while others just want to be in control of their own lives. Whatever stands in your way of giving yourself completely to God, remove it!
With any structure being built, the foundation is of utmost importance. What is the foundation for your life? What is the foundation for your faith? These really are important questions! The foundations humans lay include their own goodness and good works. These people feel like they can be saved by "doing enough good" in the world. Others recognize their goodness can't save them but view Christ as only supplying what little they lack to get into heaven. God laid a foundation of Jesus - ONLY JESUS! None of your righteousness, none of your good works - ONLY JESUS.
2nd in a 2-part series. Surrendering ourselves to God, giving up control and letting God do what God does. In part 2 we are encouraged to T.R.U.S.T. (totaling relying upon something true) God and to realize that God has set us free in Christ Jesus.
Paul to told Timothy to "Study to show yourself approved by God, a workman doesn't need to be ashamed handling the word of God correctly." Aren't we all supposed to be workers in the Kingdom, workers of God? What are the characteristics of God's workmen? They don't spend time arguing, they seek God's approval and they avoid error.
Life in 2018 is chaotic and stressful, especially for teenagers. How do we cope? Anxiety is real, anxiety and panic attacks are real and can be debilitating. How do we overcome? First we have to realize we are not in control! But God is! When we become anxious and fearful: stop. breathe. Jesus! Love is > fear!

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
