Church transforming lives, reforming societyNel Sewraj
The document discusses the transformation of Jacob and Peter as examples of how believers must experience a profound change in their lives. Jacob had to face God at Jabbok and have his old nature crucified before he could inherit God's promises. Likewise, Peter struggled with letting his mind interfere with God's plans until he more fully received God's word. The document argues that churches today must focus on renewing people's minds through God's word so they can be transformed and impact society in business, politics, and other areas. It provides the example of Daniel, who transformed Babylonian culture from the inside through his wisdom and connection to God.

A study on Vatican second : God's Revelation Lijo Baby cmi
This document summarizes key aspects of Vatican II documents regarding revelation and the Church's role in mediating revelation. It discusses that:
1) Revelation is God's self-communication through Jesus Christ, who reveals God and leads people to eternal life.
2) The Church mediates revelation through Scripture, Tradition, missionary/pastoral work, and the saints. It interprets Scripture with the Holy Spirit's help.
3) Faith is a free response to God's revelation in Jesus, as religious freedom has its foundation in human dignity and divine revelation. Forcing faith goes against God calling people to serve in spirit and truth.
The document discusses the essential marks of the Church - that it is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. It provides scriptural evidence and teachings from the Catechism to explain each mark. For the Church to be one, Christians must strive for unity through love. The Church is holy as the Holy Spirit guides believers to holiness. It is catholic or universal as Christ calls all people to salvation. And it is apostolic as built upon the foundation of the apostles' teaching.
The document provides an overview and summary of the key themes in the New Testament book of Colossians.

Judaism considers a person Jewish if their mother is Jewish, regardless of whether she practices the religion. While traditional Judaism uses matrilineal descent, liberal Judaism considers a person Jewish if either parent is Jewish. The Torah does not explicitly state the rules of descent, but passages suggest children of a Jewish mother and non-Jewish father are considered Jewish, whereas children of a non-Jewish mother are not. Women have historically played important roles in Judaism and have more rights than women in other societies throughout history.

Spiritual gifts like apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers are also discussed, noting they are appointed by God for spiritual oversight of the body of Christ regardless of gender.
This document summarizes the sin offering and trespass offering in Leviticus. The sin offering was made to atone for sins committed unintentionally and covered sins of omission and ignorance. It involved laying hands on an unblemished animal to transfer one's sins before slaughtering it. The blood was sprinkled or poured in specific places, and the fat was burned as an offering to God. For most people, the flesh was burned outside the camp. The trespass offering also required restitution if the sin caused material loss to another. Both offerings symbolized Christ bearing our sins.

The document summarizes the biblical story of the Israelites facing a crisis of faith at Kadesh Barnea after spying out the promised land of Canaan. Ten of the twelve spies doubted that the Israelites could conquer Canaan due to the strength of its inhabitants. This led the people to rebel against God and want to return to Egypt. Only Joshua and Caleb had faith in God's promise of victory. The consequences were that the faithless generation wandered the desert for 40 years and died before reaching Canaan, while Joshua and Caleb entered the promised land.
The document discusses the consecration of Aaron and his sons as priests according to chapters 8-9 of Leviticus. It describes how they were first washed, then dressed in holy garments including a robe, sash, ephod, turban, and breastplate, which represented righteousness, firmness, preparation for battle, prayer, and responsibility. They were then anointed with oil containing myrrh, cinnamon, cane, and cassia to symbolize death to self, simplicity, character, and prayer - qualities needed for supernatural ability as priests. The anointing fulfilled God's purpose for Israel to be a nation of priests.
The burnt offering represented complete consecration and devotion to God. It was offered daily and picturing the totality of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. The worshiper would lay hands on the unblemished animal, identifying with its death, before its blood was sprinkled, body cut up, and fully burned as a sweet-smelling offering to God.

Sermon by: Brian Birdow
The document provides background on the sacrificial system in the Temple. It explains that sacrifices, or korban in Hebrew, allowed people to draw near to God, as humans cannot enter God's presence on their own due to being mortal and unclean. The five main types of sacrifices - burnt, grain, peace, sin, and guilt offerings - are introduced. Key points are that sacrifices provided a covering to survive God's presence, not payment for sins, and pointed to Christ as the ultimate sacrifice that allows believers to commune with God.
The document discusses important criteria for choosing a church to attend regularly. It lists two "must haves" - that the church faithfully teaches God's word and upholds sound doctrine. Several other desirable qualities are also mentioned, such as preference for a church where the priorities are biblical truths rather than personal preferences. The rest of the document provides biblical support for focusing on scriptural teaching and doctrine when selecting a church.
This document summarizes the four quadrants of a healthy Christian life: 1) personal relationship with God through daily Bible reading, scripture memory, and prayer; 2) corporate worship through church attendance, singing, and tithing; 3) small group community and accountability; and 4) finding an area of service within or outside the church such as teaching, outreach, or various ministries. It provides examples of how Christians like King David, Nehemiah, and Chris Tomlin have used their talents and positions to serve God. The document also addresses common excuses for not serving and encourages readers to avail themselves, pray for guidance, and respond affirmatively when opportunities arise.

Theology of mission biblical bases (english)QLang Project
This document provides an overview of the biblical bases for Christian missions. It discusses how God intended from the beginning for humanity to partner with Him in establishing His kingdom, and how this mission is central to the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament shows how God called Israel to be a nation of priests to the other nations. While Israel failed in this role, the New Testament establishes how Jesus and the Holy Spirit empower Christians to continue this mission of representing God and humanity to each other. The biblical bases for missions include God's mission, the mission of His people, the mission of Christ, and the empowerment of believers through the Holy Spirit to make disciples of all nations.
This document discusses the symbolism of the church of Laodicea representing the spiritual condition of God's people from 1844 to the close of probation. It describes Laodicea as being under judgment due to being lukewarm, self-satisfied, and in need of spiritual revival. Key points include that judgment occurred only in the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary, and that the restoration of God's sanctuary and people coincides with the cleansing of sin and restoration to Christ's image. It calls God's people to open their hearts to Christ's invitation to buy from Him the gold of faith, white raiment of righteousness, and eyesalve of spiritual discernment.
This document provides guidance on how to study the Bible, including managing expectations for teachers and students, why studying the Bible is important, how to approach different books and authors of the Bible, and answering questions about specific Bible passages. It emphasizes using Scripture to teach Scripture, engaging students, and growing in knowledge and obedience to God through studying his word.
Hannah's story from 1 Samuel 1 teaches important lessons about true worship. Hannah came before God in prayer with a deep need that only He could fulfill - to bear a child. She worshiped from the hollow recesses of her soul in a posture of complete self-surrender and willingness to give her future child back to God. True worship involves focusing on what God has done rather than our own desires, and coming to God with humility, surrender, and acknowledgment of our dependence on Him to meet our deepest needs.
The biblical role of deacons in the church old powrpoint versionTony Williams
Deacons and elders are distinct roles in the church. Deacons are called to serve the practical needs of others so that elders and pastors can focus on spiritual matters like prayer and preaching. The first deacons mentioned in Acts 6 were chosen for their spiritual qualifications and character in order to oversee benevolence ministry. Deacons are called to assist the pastor and serve others humbly as representatives of Christ.

Sermon by: Brian Birdow
The word of god as a foundation for church growthElvis Amenyitor
1. The early church faced a problem of neglecting widows in daily food distribution. The Twelve appointed seven men to oversee this ministry so they could focus on prayer and preaching.
2. As a result of this change, the word of God spread rapidly and the number of disciples and priests following Christ greatly increased.
3. Building the church requires using the spiritual gifts God has given each believer. Members should discover their gifts, serve others' needs, and use their gifts faithfully and prayerfully for God's glory. Working together in this way expands God's kingdom.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
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

The Book of Ruth is included in the third division, or the Writings, of the Hebrew Bible. In most Christian canons it is treated as one of the historical books and placed between Judges and 1 Samuel.
1. Study of the book of
Numbers
Class 2
The order of the Tribes
2. Study of Numbers – Chapter 2
The order of the Tribes
God is a God of order. In all of his manifestations, God
is organized and harmonious, and he allows no
disorganization among his people.
Everyone of the children of Israel shall camp by his
own standard, beside the emblems of his father's
house; they shall camp some distance from the
tabernacle of meeting. Numbers 2:2
3. Study of Numbers – Chapter 2
The order of the Tribes
There are three important points in the organization of
the tribes that also point to the order of the church
today.
1. Obedience to God’s commands
2. Look to the tabernacle as the center
3. The organization of the tribes
4. Study of Numbers – Chapter 2
The order of the Tribes
1. Obedience to God’s command (2:1)
When the children of Israel set up or broke camp, God
gave them no option according to their own preferences;
they had to obey the arrangement that he determined.
We must know our place and our function within the
body. As long as we don’t understand our place and our
function, we will continually remain unsatisfied.
5. Study of Numbers – Chapter 2
The order of the Tribes
2. Everyone looked to the tabernacle as center (2:2)
All the armies of other nations camped facing outward
towards their enemies, but the Army of Israel camped
with their backs to the enemy. Everyone camped facing
the tabernacle, revealing that Christ is the center.
6. Study of Numbers – Chapter 2
The order of the Tribes
We must all look to Christ, since God does not consider
what we are able to do for him, but whether our heart is
inclined to him or not.
Although we are an army possessing an enemy, we do
not live for war, nor do we concern ourselves with the
enemy; but we live looking towards Christ as the center.
7. Study of Numbers – Chapter 2
The order of the Tribes
3. The organization (2:2-34)
The 12 tribes were divided into four groups of three
tribes each, thus forming four armies. Each tribe had its
own insignia, with the colors of the 12 stones on the
priestly ephod which represented the 12 tribes.
Each group of three tribes also had a standard or flag
which belonged to the tribe that led the group.
8. Study of Numbers – Chapter 2
The order of the Tribes
There were four armies:
The standard of Judah was represented by Issachar and
Zebulon.
The standard of Reuben was represented by Simeon
and Gad.
The standard of Ephraim was represented by Manasses
and Benjamin.
The standard of Dan was represented by Asher and
Naphtali.
9. Study of Numbers – Chapter 2
The order of the Tribes
The Jewish tradition determined that
The standard of Reuben had a figure of a man,
That of Judah a lion,
That of Ephraim a bull
That of Dan an Eagle.
These four armies camped around the tabernacle each
one occupying a specific position around it.
10. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
The 12 tribes of Israel camped around the tabernacle
like an army prepared for battle.
The army represents the aspect of spiritual war and
authority. The ministry of the Levites represents the
service of God’s house.
When we refer to the service of the Levites, we are
including the priests, since they also belonged to the
tribe of Levi.
11. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
On one hand, the Levites were especially chosen and
called by God; on the other hand, the Levites
voluntarily presented themselves to God.
When the Israelites worshiped the Golden calf, only the
Levites oppose them and remained true to the Lord,
and according to the word of Moses they killed the
rebels (Exodus 32:26-28). They were faithful to God at
that moment, therefore God chose them to be
responsible for the work of the priesthood.
12. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
The priests were separated from among the Levites to
serve the Lord. They were anointed to receive the
authority delegated by God. They correspond to and
represent the elders of the church today.
In the Old Testament, priests and Levites served in
God’s house. In the New Testament elders and
deacons serve.
The service of the tabernacle was divided into two
aspects: the service of the priests and the general
service of the Levites.
13. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
1. The ministry of the priests
a. The table of showbread
The table of showbread points to the ministry of
supplying the people with food and life.
The table of showbread occupies a very important place
in the life of the church, pointing to the table of fellowship
and spiritual bread that must be set each time that we
meet.
14. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
The Lord Jesus is the bread of life. He was the grain of
wheat that fell into the earth and died in order to become
our nourishment. In order to become our food and
nourishment, he had to be ground and baked as the
bread that descended from heaven.
15. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
b. The candlestick
The primary function of an elder or leader is to feed the
people with life. Then they must bring the Word of God
to light in the understanding of the people. The
lampstand is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, the function of
the priests was to kindle the fire and never allow the oil
to cease.
We, the leaders, have been called to pour oil on the
congregation, in order to keep the lamp lit. This also
points to the manifestation of the power of God in the
midst of his people.
16. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
c. The altar of incense
The primary function of the leader is to pray. He should
spend his time in prayer and the meditation of the Word.
Incense represents prayer. But it is not prayer according
to our own preferences, but moved by the Holy Spirit
within us.
The Holy Spirit wants to pray in us through our own
spirit.
We must pray according to God’s heart and not
according to natural and human desires.
17. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
d. The service in the outer court
The ministry of the priest was not limited to the holy
place, but also included the outer court. In the outer
court the priest offered the sacrifices that the people of
Israel brough to them. This shows us that the function of
the minister is to heflp the sinner have an experience
with the cross, introducing him into God’s presence.
18. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
The main difference between the work of the Levites and
that of the priests is that the Levites were in charge of
the material things of the tabernacle and the priests were
responsible for the spiritual activities.
Both are important for the normal development of the
body of Christ, those who minister to God and those who
minister to the people.
19. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
3. The ministry of the Levites
The Levites served Aaron the priest.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: "Bring the tribe of Levi near,
and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may serve
him. And they shall attend to his needs and the needs of the whole
congregation before the tabernacle of meeting, to do the work of
the tabernacle. Also they shall attend to all the furnishings of the
tabernacle of meeting, and to the needs of the children of Israel, to
do the work of the tabernacle. Numbers 3:5-8
20. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
The Levites were the priest’s helpers in God’s service
in the tabernacle.
Aaron was not able to fulfill all of the responsibilities
that he had, therefore God gave him the Levites to help
him.
There was an order among the Levites but not a
hierarchy. All the Levites were equal with differing
responsibilities.
21. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
In the Old Testament there were priests and Levites,
but in the New Testament there are elders and
deacons. They are not a special class separated in a
hierarchy. They have responsibilities and exercise
authority but they are all brothers.
In Numbers 3:10 we read that Aaron and his sons
should dedicate themselves to the priesthood. With the
Levites helping them, the priests could dedicate
themselves to burning incense and teaching the
people.
22. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
We also read in chapter 3 that the Levites are of God.
Every firstborn belongs to God. But after the rebellion
of the people of Israel at Mount Sinai, when they
worshiped the golden calf, God chose the Levites to
take the place of the firstborn of Israel.
Therefore they would serve God as Levites, belong to
him and have the right of the firstborn.
23. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
First, God had them count how many children there
were to determine how many firstborn sons were
among them. The Levites counted 22,000, but the
number of firstborn sons in Israel was 22,273.
There were an extra 273 that would have to be
redeemed. Therefore it was necessary to have more
Levites. This indicates that in the Lord service, there
will always be more positions than candidates, in other
words, there is always a place for those who want to
serve.
24. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
The distribution of the service of the Levites was
organized according to the natural division of the sons
of Levi. Levi had three sons:
Gershon
Kohath and
Merari
25. Study of Numbers – Chapters 3 & 4
The service of the priests and Levites
The sons of Gerson were responsible for taking care of
the exterior parts of the tabernacle and were also
watchmen.
The sons of Kohath were responsible for caring for the
sacred vessels. Moses and Aaron were descendents of
Kohath (3:27-32).
The sons of Merari were responsible for the general
maintenance of the tabernacle (3:36-37).
26. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
The order of the book of Numbers is coherent and
clear. First, comes the organization of the army, next,
the preparation of the service of the ministers and last,
the purification of the congregation.
Before the people would begin their march and follow
the cloud, there was yet a need to deal with impurity.
27. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
God’s sanctuary is holy and his service and his army is also
holy. We must not allow the world to participate in our service
nor in our army.
If the impure participate in our service, the whole service will be
contaminated and cause problems. If the impure participate in
the army, then it will never be able to conquer the enemy. The
camp of Israel corresponds today to the church and just as
every impure person should be removed from the camp of
Israel, today we cannot tolerate impure people in the life of the
church (1 Corinthians 5:13)
28. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
There were three types of people that were considered
unclean (5:2).
Lepers,
Those who had a discharge and
The unclean person for having touched a corpse.
29. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
1. The Leper
Leprosy in the Bible, is a type of sin:
It first occurs in the blood (in the person’s nature)
It manifests itself in many ways
It is incurable humanly speaking
It numbs the senses
It slowly destroys its victims
30. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
Leviticus 13 and 14 presents the seven types or forms
of leprosy.
a. Leprosy in the skin (Leviticus 13:2)
this is the primary type and appears on the surface of the
skin. It is fairly easy to discover, and once it is detected,
it must be treated in order not to progress. Sin always
begins in a superficial manner, but if we don’t treat it, we
will become disfigured by the leprosy.
31. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
b. Leprosy in the flesh (Leviticus 13:10)
The second type is more serious, it is a leprosy that
occurs underneath the skin. This shows us that it has
already penetrated the flesh; it is something more
profound. Leprosy in the flesh is called chronic leprosy.
Leprosy advances to the point that it becomes chronic, a
much more serious situation than leprosy of the skin.
32. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
c. Leprosy from a boil 13:18
This is the leprosy that arises from wounds that have not
been treated. One day it will become leprous. Wounds
and hurts become ideal opportunities for the leprosy of
sin. Some people allow themselves to be hurt. On the
outside they look fine, but on the inside there is a wound
that becomes a door to sin.
33. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
d. Leprosy from a burn (Leviticus 13:24-16)
Leprosy appears in a person who resents discipline and
correction. The burn symbolizes someone who has
received rebuke or correction for their sin, but did not
react well and became resentful. This also represents
false repentance.
34. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
e. Leprosy of the head or beard (Leviticus 13:29)
In the Word of God, the head symbolizes glory (1
Corinthians 11:3). Therefore, to have a sore on the head
means to have problems with subjection to authority
resisting the common spirit of the local church.
The principal part of the head are the thoughts,
therefore, to have leprosy on the head also means that
the leprosy has penetrated the thoughts and the victime
will offer theological excuses for his sin.
35. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
But leprosy can also appear in the beard. Also in God’s
Word the beard respresents dignity (2 Samuel 10:4).
When for some wrong reason we begin to claim honor
and demand respect and praise, this is leprosy of the
beard. Leprosy of the beard means to consider yourself
importante and seek to be recognized and praised by
others.
36. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
f. Leprosy in garments (Leviticus 13:47-48)
Leprosy is a symbol of sin, thus we can see that even
clothing can be contaminated by sin.
To have leprosy in a garment means that the leprosy has
become indecent or scandalous.
37. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
g. Leprous houses (Leviticus 14:33-57)
This is the most serious type of leprosy, before it was
individual, but now it has spread to the whole family or to
the whole local congregation.
In the New Testament a church is compared to a house
(Ephesians 2:19-22). The members are the stones that
the house is made up of (1 Peter 2:5). Leprosy that
invades a house simbolizes sin trying to take over an
entire church.
38. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
b) Dealing with discharges
Discharges are things that flow out of people. Some
discharges are natural and others are not. Man accepts
normal discharges and rejects abnormal ones. God
however, considers all types of discharge as unclean
since they proceed from natural man.
Many people serve God through natural means, natural
opinions, methods and personal feelings rather than the
direction of the Spirit.
39. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
Such things compromise God’s work. Aparentely,
discharges are not as serious as leprosy, but
nevertheless, they are impure in God’s eyes.
Everything done according to human strength and
understanding is of the flesh, and therefore rejected by
God.
People who have a discharge represent those that walk
according to the flesh and natural senses. Such people
cannot please God (Romans 8:8).
40. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
c) The uncleanliness of death
God abhors death. Death is everything that has the
capacity to produce numbness in our spirit.
Worldly music is death, television is death, worldly
magazines are death and the cinema is death. When
these scenes enter our mind, they cause us to lose
interest in spiritual things, through prayer, through God’s
Word and through church meetings.
41. Study of Numbers – Chapter 5
The purity of the camp
But the greatest expression of death are the negative
words that are spoken in the midst of the church.
Normally a word should motivate and edify the members,
but instead, negative words of death are released
resulting in a numbed and insensitive spirit.
Things pertaining to death are not considered
necessarily sinful, but they must be rejected, because
they cause insensitivity in our spirit.
