50 ministries
Kirkville Community Wesleyan Church is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2012. As part of the celebration, the congregation aims to be involved in 50 ministries before the anniversary to bless others in the community and demonstrate God's love. Suggested ministries include volunteering at a rescue mission, food bank, or soup kitchen. The goal is for congregation members to reach out, show love to those outside the church, and witness to the love of Jesus Christ through their actions. All members are encouraged to play a role in living out the church's mission to love God, love others, and make disciples.
A Ruler's One Thing
A rich ruler asked Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. When Jesus tells him to sell all his possessions and give to the poor, the ruler becomes sad because he is very wealthy. Jesus then says it is difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of God. When the disciples ask who can be saved, Jesus responds that all things are possible with God.
Stair to-heaven
The document discusses the story of Jesus' birth and life as a model of humility, compassion, and reaching out to others. It notes that the Christmas story involves God stepping down from heaven to live among humanity. This is unique among religious figures and demonstrates God's love. The document encourages emulating Jesus by living genuinely, showing compassion, and connecting with others as he did in order to share God's love and story with them.
Power provisions-of-christ
When we look at men, we can get discouraged. We often see the corruption of leaders. The sinfulness of society is overwhelming. It is sad, but we also see weak Christians.
Let us stand in awe of the Lord Jesus Christ (Rev. 5:12). We ought to appreciate Him for His wisdom, reverence Him for His holiness, and love Him for His mercy and sacrifice.
Trinity Kings World Leadership has Lived A Life of Integrity
Charles Swindoll observed that nothing speaks louder than a life of integrity. Integrity is difficult to build but easy to destroy, and is built slowly over a lifetime through discipline, honesty, and faith. Living with integrity becomes a habit and pleases God, though it is not always easy. Having faith in one's own integrity and character is the basis for believing in anything else.
Remnant survive
This document discusses how Christians should respond when their faith is facing difficulties or opposition. It argues that Christians should not lose hope or give up, as God continues to work through small remnants to spread the gospel message. While Islamic faith is growing in some areas, Christianity is also growing rapidly in Muslim-majority regions as many Muslims are coming to faith. The document encourages Christians to stand firm in their faith, share it respectfully with others, and trust that God remains in control and will bring victory through repentance and praising Him.
Missionary
A missionary brings the Good News to all people through words and deeds. The best way to preach and teach others about Christ is to live a consistent, loving life that embodies Christian values. One's actions should reflect their faith and commitment to God. As a missionary, one can witness to Christ through daily living, acts of service, social justice, prayer, dialogue and reconciliation. The ultimate goal is for all people to come to know Christ.

Friends forever

Vintage contemplation fortransformation_5.21.17
The document discusses the true goal of prayer as transformation rather than controlling God or others. It describes contemplative prayer as pulling people out of focusing on the painful past, distracted present, and anxious future, and leading to a kind of "divine therapy". Habitual prayer is presented as an act of submission towards transformation, using the story of Peter's vision and realization that God shows no partiality in Acts 10 as an example of how prayer can lead to revelation, communication from God, and transformation through love.
The Process Of God For You
God wants to use believers to accomplish His purposes in 2009. He calls people to salvation and then sends them out to save others. There are two phases to God's mission: we are saved to be sent, and sent to save others. God gathers believers to nurture, equip, and empower them with His Spirit, then sends them out to gather others. God calls each person uniquely according to His plan and gifts them to fulfill their role in His work.
A CALL TO DISCIPLESHIP
This document discusses the importance of discipleship and what it means to be a disciple of Christ.

The document emphasizes that discipleship requires effort, consistency, and being willing to sacrifice things like family and careers.

True discipleship means being discipled oneself, discipling others, and ensuring the gospel message and growth in Christ remain top priorities so that churches are revived and God's kingdom advances.

This document discusses the importance of teaching stewardship to children.

The Theology and Psychology of Hope
Leisa Aitken is a practicing psychologist who has discovered the significance of hope in human flourishing—but equally, she has discovered the shallowness of the profession's grasp of hope. She is now advancing a doctorate to integrate the richness of Christian hope with the practice of psychology. In the first talk, she takes us on her personal journey and introduces the points of interaction between theology and psychology.In the second half of her talk, Leisa takes us into more detail into the applications and consequences of her new frameworks of hope. This is very significant and promising, as it lays the groundwork for a new paradigm in Christian growth as well as an enriched paradigm in counseling.
A Theology of Gratitude: A Key to the Abundant Life
Few things are as fundamental to the abundant life Jesus came to give us than our continual commitment to being grateful in all circumstances. 1 Thessalonians 1:18 and Eph. 5:20 make it abundantly clear that God requires us to always gives thanks to Him no matter what happens because He has promised to make all things work together for good for us ( Rom. 8:28)!
Life outside of gratitude is a lie. Life outside of gratitude is poison to our soul. God will help us, but we must choose to give Him thanks as Job did in his great losses. We must allow God to be somewhat mysterious and trust Him no matter what evil befalls us. That is real faith.
