The document discusses that Old Testament saints did not look forward to or understand the cross as the disciples did not either. It notes that Old Testament saints went to Abraham's Bosom or paradise instead of heaven upon death, as seen in examples from the Bible. The document argues that Old Testament saints like Abraham and Lazarus did not go to heaven until Jesus ascended based on Ephesians 4:8. In contrast, it states that saints who die in the Lord today go immediately into heaven based on 2 Corinthians 5:8.

Jesus criticizes the hypocrisy of the teachers of the law and Pharisees. He says they impose heavy burdens on others but do not lift a finger to help themselves. Jesus then delivers a series of "woes", criticizing the Pharisees for shutting people out of heaven, exploiting others for money and status, focusing on outward appearances over inner purity, and claiming to honor the prophets while participating in killing them. Jesus calls for focusing first on internal cleansing before worrying about external appearances.

Christ In Christmas in a Christian Life
What is so significant of the title Christ? Christ is not just Jesus’ second or last name. The true meaning of Christ is just not Savior, Deliverer or Messiah but “THE Anointed One”. There were three offices in the Old Testament that were traditionally anointed. These three offices include prophets, priests, and kings. Jesus, The Anointed One fulfills the anointed roles as prophet, priest and king perfectly.

Sermon at the Haynes Street church of Christ on January 5, 2014. Topic: Principles of Evangelism. Preacher: Tyler Hall
lessons from paul's journey to rome
Paul's third missionary journey brought him to Jerusalem, where he was arrested. He was taken to Caesarea and stood trial before governors Felix and Festus. Paul appealed to Caesar and was sent to Rome under guard by sea. During the difficult journey, Paul demonstrated great faith in God through his calmness, courage, and assurance that all would be saved despite facing storms, as God had promised. After many trials, Paul arrived in Rome and spent two years under house arrest preaching the gospel.

Launch Party 16 09 07
The document discusses Paul's role in sharing God's message with Gentiles and God's plan to use the church to display his wisdom. It then talks about spiritual gifts given to the church, including apostles, prophets, evangelists, and pastors/teachers, to equip believers and build up the body of Christ until unity and maturity is reached.

The Luggage of Life - Rob Ferry 4-3-16
Weary travelers. You've seen them - everything they own crammed into their luggage. Staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies with overstuffed suitcases, trunks, duffel bags and backpacks.
We've all seen people like that.
At times, we are people like that. If not with our physical luggage, then at least with our spiritual load. Fact is, we all lug loads we were never intended to carry.
Worry. Guilt. Hopelessness. Loneliness. Shame. Envy. Doubt. Fear.
No wonder we get so weary!
Join us and bring a friend or family member to the launch of our new sermon series this Sunday.
With the twenty-third Psalm as our guide, let's release some of the burdens you were never intended to bear.
Ephesians
The document provides background information on Paul's letter to the Ephesians. It discusses Paul's visits to Ephesus during his missionary journeys and how he established the church there. It then summarizes some of the key points Paul makes in the letter, including that believers have spiritual blessings in Christ, being chosen by God if they are in Christ, and being redeemed and sealed with the Holy Spirit upon believing. The document examines various verses and argues against interpretations used to support Calvinism.
Ps 49
The document provides commentary on Psalm 49, discussing several key themes:
1) Earthly riches cannot redeem one's soul or guarantee eternal life, while Christ's blood provides eternal redemption for believers.
2) The wealthy put misplaced trust in material possessions but will die like all people and cannot take their wealth with them.
3) Psalm 49 contains parables and dark sayings that reference biblical stories and prophecies about judgment, tribulation, and God redeeming the righteous.
Matthew 24 28
This chapter discusses Jesus' teachings about the end times and his second coming. It references signs that will precede these events, such as wars, famines, earthquakes, false prophets and the abomination of desolation in the holy place. The chapter emphasizes being ready and warns that the exact timing of Jesus' return is unknown. It encourages faithfulness, watching for signs, and avoiding deception until the Son of Man returns.
First galilean tour
Jesus performs two healings during his first Galilean tour: healing a man with leprosy and a man paralyzed who was lowered through a roof on a bed. In both cases, Jesus not only heals the men physically, but also declares their sins forgiven, prompting accusations of blasphemy from scribes. Jesus then heals the men physically to prove he has the authority on earth to forgive sins as the Son of Man. Large crowds witness the healings and glorify God in response.
Faint not
1) God does not faint or grow weary, and gives power to those who are faint. Waiting on the Lord renew strength.
2) When trying to comfort oneself, Jeremiah's heart grew faint.
3) Men ought to always pray and not faint. God gives the ministry of mercy so that people do not faint in their work. If people do not faint, they will reap rewards for their labor.
John 9 16
The document summarizes Jesus healing six blind men according to different biblical accounts, noting there was no set pattern of healing. It also discusses the healing of a blind man in John 9, noting the Pharisees questioned the man and accused him of being blind due to sin. Jesus said he was sent to bring sight to the blind and exposed the Pharisees' spiritual blindness. The document analyzes various verses from the account, addressing theological issues and lessons that can be learned.
The blessing and responsibility of teaching
Teachers have a great responsibility and blessing, as they will be judged more strictly but also called great in heaven if they teach faithfully. The document outlines the duty of teachers to instruct with wisdom, patience, and sound doctrine on salvation through Christ. It warns of temptations to appeal to pride or desires rather than sound teaching. Teachers must look to purify themselves and their followers as they await Christ, firmly instructing with God's authority.
Jesus ordains the twelve disciples
The document discusses the meaning of the word "anon" as it is used in the Bible. It provides several Bible verses from Matthew and Mark that use the word "anon" and defines it to mean "immediately" based on a parallel verse in Mark. It also discusses Jesus ordaining the twelve disciples and lists the names of the disciples from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Finally, it compares Jesus giving the Beatitudes from Matthew 5:1-12 with the parallel account in Luke 6:17-22.
The plan of salvation
The document outlines the plan of salvation according to scripture. It discusses the problem of sin, the reason for salvation through Jesus Christ, and the solution found through faith in Christ. It encourages the reader to make a decision to accept Christ's salvation by having faith in Him.
The time of thy visitation
The document discusses how God will visit and punish nations for their sins such as adultery, covetousness, rejecting God's word, deceit, lack of knowledge, prophesying falsely in God's name, refusing to be restrained in wandering, and pastors scattering and not visiting God's flock. It suggests that God's visitation will involve laying waste to cities, giving wives and fields to others, famine, the young dying by the sword, bringing evil, remembering iniquity and sins, casting down, melting and trying people, and bringing people into the wilderness.
Debt
1) The document discusses the topic of debt from both biblical and modern perspectives. It provides biblical examples of the Israelites borrowing goods from Egyptians and David's mighty men gathering when in debt or distress.
2) It discusses how debt limits life's options and freedom by transferring wealth and rights to the creditor. When debt is purchased by a debt buyer, the buyer can pursue collection of the debt.
3) The document asserts that Jesus provided the ultimate solution to debt and its burdens through his life, death and resurrection. His sacrifice allows people to be released from the bondage of sin and debt.
Gods dress code
1. The document discusses the significance of the lamb in the Bible, from God clothing Adam and Eve with skins after the fall, to Abel's acceptable sacrifice in contrast to Cain's, to Jesus being referred to as the Lamb of God who was sacrificed to atone for sin.
2. It notes how Barabbas was released in place of Jesus at the crucifixion, with Barabbas representing the unredeemed man facing God's curse, while Jesus as the lamb took the curse upon himself.
3. The lamb symbolizes the promise of the coming fulfillment in Jesus, who through his death and resurrection redeemed mankind from the curse of the law.
The deep
The document discusses the concept of "the deep" from both biblical and historical perspectives. It provides several biblical passages that reference the deep, including Genesis describing the earth being without form prior to creation and the spirit of God hovering over the waters. It suggests the deep refers to water or a profound, unfathomable place. The document also characterizes Leviathan as a sea creature, linking it to descriptions of the devil. Finally, it proposes that the deep refers to a location beyond the earth where Satan and his followers were originally cast out from heaven.
Early life of christ
This document provides details about the early life of Christ from biblical passages. It describes how Gabriel announced to Zacharias that his wife Elizabeth would give birth to John the Baptist. Gabriel then told Mary she would give birth to Jesus. Mary visited her relative Elizabeth. Joseph was troubled by Mary's pregnancy but an angel assured him the child was divine. Caesar Augustus decreed a census, so Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem for the birth. Shepherds witnessed angels announcing Jesus' birth. Wise men from the East followed a star to find the infant Jesus.

The broken pitchers
- Gideon's army was originally 32,000 men but God reduced it to only 300 to fight the Midianites so that the victory could not be attributed to the size of the army but to God.
- Gideon's 300 men surrounded the Midianite camp at night, blew trumpets, broke clay pitchers with lamps inside to create light and noise, and scared the Midianites into fleeing and killing each other in the chaos.
- Though a small force, God's way led to victory, showing that strategic surprise can overcome larger forces and that God's methods may seem unusual but are always best.
Disciple to apostle
This document discusses the stages of spiritual maturity from disciple to apostle. It compares this journey to the stages of fruit bearing in the Bible.
The three stages discussed are:
1. The first 3 years/as a disciple where the fruit is uncircumcised and not eaten. This represents being a new believer.
2. The 4th year where the fruit is holy but not yet eaten, representing growing in strength and the word abiding in you.
3. The 5th year and beyond/as an apostle, where the fruit is fully yielded and eaten, representing spiritual fathers who bear the fruit of the spirit abundantly.
Sermon on the Mt. Mat5:5 12
The document summarizes Jesus' Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, focusing on who will be blessed. It discusses how the promises to the meek who inherit the earth, those who hunger for righteousness and are filled, and the peacemakers who are God's children will be fulfilled in the future millennial kingdom after Jesus returns. It also explains that the blessings for those persecuted for righteousness refer to both the present Church age and the future judgment. The rewards promised will be received either at the judgment seat of Christ for believers or the white throne judgment for Old Testament saints and prophets. False prophets are also discussed as a major topic in the Bible.
Three16
This document discusses the significance of the Bible verse John 3:16. It notes that this verse is widely known even by non-believers and explores some of the spiritual and numerical patterns relating to the numbers 3, 1, 6, and references to 3:16 in the New Testament. Specifically, it finds meanings in the Trinity in the number 3, God's oneness in 1, mankind in 6, and fulfillment of promises in the number 21, as Daniel's prayer was answered after 21 days. The document suggests John 3:16 and its prominence is no coincidence, but intended by God.
Marriage divorceremarriage
1) Marriage is meant to picture Christ's relationship with the church.
2) In the Bible, divorce breaks this picture, except in cases of adultery, where the marriage no longer depicts Christ and the church.
3) Paul provides guidance for Christians regarding marriage, divorce, and remarriage. He instructs that it is better to remain single if possible, but if married, spouses should not separate except in cases of adultery or an unbelieving spouse initiating divorce. Remarriage is acceptable in these cases.

apparent contradiction in the bible Ahaziah.pdf
Ahaziah was anointed to be king of Judah at age 22 but did not sit on the throne until age 42. He was the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, but also considered the son-in-law of Ahab, king of Israel, through marriage to one of Ahab's daughters or Jehoram's daughters. There is evidence that Ahaziah had a joint reign with both Jehoshaphat and Ahab prior to becoming sole king of Judah due to the political alliances between their kingdoms.

The Word.docx
The document discusses the importance and power of God's word as revealed in scripture. It notes that the disciples could relate their eyewitness experience of Jesus' transfiguration on the Mount because they had God's word in writing to back up their testimony. It then provides numerous Bible verses emphasizing that the word of God is perfect, eternal, a light, spirit, judge, saves souls, true, faithful, settled in heaven, should not be blasphemed, pure, and holy.
Rebekah as a Christian in Type.docx
Rebekah is presented as a type of the Christian church in the Old Testament. Some key points:
1) Rebekah is a Gentile who marries Isaac, representing Christians (Gentiles) joining with Christ (promised seed).
2) She is called out of her homeland and family to follow Abraham's servant to marry Isaac, representing Christians being called out of the world.
3) She believes and follows in faith without seeing Isaac first, representing the Christian's faith in an unseen God.
4) She accepts the proposal brought to her by Abraham's servant, representing Christians accepting the offer of salvation brought by the Holy Spirit.
5) The gifts given to her fore
Overturn Of Roe Vs Wade.docx
The document argues that the overturning of Roe v. Wade highlights the need to abstain from premarital sex or "fornication" as commanded in the Bible. It provides several biblical passages from Acts, 1 Corinthians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, and Revelation that prohibit fornication and command believers to abstain from it. The document claims abstaining from fornication, rather than defending abortion rights, should be the focus for Christians in light of the new ruling.
How Can You Prove.docx
This document discusses how one can prove their love for God through desire, obedience, and commitment. It examines several Bible passages to support this. Specifically, it argues that love for God is shown through: 1) Craving His word and hiding it in one's heart to avoid sin; 2) Compliance with His commands, as Jesus complied with the Father's command to lay down His life; and 3) Commitment to watch, pray, and follow God's word at all times, as Jesus was committed to the Father's commandment. The document concludes by summarizing that love for God is proven through desire for His word, demonstration of obedience to His commands, and determined commitment to follow His word.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Old testament saints
- 1. Old Testament saints “looking forward to the cross” • A "cross" is not mentioned in any context in the Bible until Matthew 10:38 • Christ's own disciples who followed him for months didn't even understand why Christ had to die, let alone "look ahead to a cross" (Matt. 16:22).
- 2. Old Testament saints did not go to heaven at death • Old Testament saints went to Abraham's Bosom or "paradise” Luke 23:43 • Abraham, the beggar, Lazarus Luke 16:22-23 • One of the malefactors on the cross Luke 23:39-43 • Old Testament saints “gathered unto his people” (Genesis 25:17, Genesis 35:29, Genesis 49:33, Numbers 20:24, Numbers 20:26, Deuteronomy 32:50)
- 3. Ephesians 4:8 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Abraham and the other saints did not go into Heaven until they went up with the Lord at His ascension
- 4. Saints who die in the Lord today go immediately into Heaven 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
