We should love Christ more than our family, preachers, local church, and ourselves. If we truly love Christ, then He will live within us, the world will know us as His followers, the world will hate us, and we will love one another. Loving Christ means prioritizing Him above all else and living according to His teachings.

Acts 21.1 16
Paul traveled with companions as he journeyed toward Jerusalem. Along the way, he fellowshipped with believers and was urged by the Holy Spirit to continue on to Jerusalem, despite warnings of imprisonment, as Paul was determined to follow Jesus and share in his sufferings.
A Missionary People For A Missionary God
The document discusses how Jesus was sent by God to serve and sacrifice for humanity, and how Christians are called to follow his example by being sent as missionaries to others. It notes that Jesus came as a real human to suffer and die for people, and calls Christians to go to others as part of a community, making sacrifices as Jesus did to build the church.
What direction
The document discusses the importance of looking in the right direction both literally and spiritually. It provides biblical examples of people who looked in the wrong direction, such as Lot's wife who looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt, and the Israelites who complained about their food and longed for what they had in Egypt. However, it also gives examples of people who looked in the right direction, such as Abraham and Moses who considered themselves pilgrims in this world and looked forward to the eternal city of God, and Paul who gave up everything to gain Christ. Christians are encouraged to look above and focus on eternal rewards rather than temporary things.
Revelation 19
This document summarizes lessons from an ACE Men's Bible Study on Revelation for the spring semester of 2017. It discusses the events of the Great Tribulation, including catastrophic disasters, the rise of the Antichrist, and God's judgments. It then provides an overview of Revelation 19, covering the marriage supper of the Lamb, the return of Christ to rule and reign, and the battle of Armageddon, where Jesus defeats his enemies and the Antichrist and false prophet are thrown into hell.
Jesus The Premiere Leader
The document discusses Jesus as the greatest leader of all time, describing his teachings of love, service, and sacrifice. It outlines Jesus' life and ministry, highlighting how he led through action, example, love and making the ultimate sacrifice on the cross. The document argues that Jesus continues to be a present leader through his influence on Christians and churches around the world.
Chapter 4
This document summarizes chapters from a book about mission in the New Testament church. It describes Paul's three missionary journeys, planting churches across Asia Minor and Greece. It outlines lessons from Paul's strategy of preaching first in synagogues then to Gentiles when rejected, and always following the Holy Spirit's lead. The document also summarizes key themes about mission from New Testament epistles, including that God's mercy is for all, the central message is about Jesus, mission faces supernatural opposition, God is sovereign over mission, and believers are Christ's ambassadors. It concludes that mission will cease at Christ's return when creation is renewed.
He came to seek and to save the lost
The document is a sermon about how Jesus came to seek and save the lost. It discusses how man sinned and deviated from God's purpose, but God gave a second chance by sending Jesus Christ. It talks about the days of Isaiah, how people considered God's things as rituals without heart. It concludes by urging people to avail themselves for God's use, confess sins, acknowledge God, and never perform rituals without passion, as Jesus will soon return with rewards.
Dr Amith-Peer pressure
Peer pressure is the direct influence of people through their peers or individuals that encourages others to change their attitudes, values, or behaviors to conform to the influencing groups. People succumb to peer pressure on things like fashion, drinking, and social media presence. The Bible tells stories of people like Daniel and his friends who stood up for their faith even when pressured to conform in Babylon. Jesus warned Peter that he would deny knowing him three times, which came to pass when Peter distanced himself from Jesus under peer pressure. First Peter encourages Christians to maintain their focus on God and have self-control, even when surrounded by non-believing peers.

Mr. encouragement
Barnabas was a Levite from Cyprus who encouraged the early Christian church. He saw that Paul had truly converted to Christianity and vouched for him to the skeptical apostles. Barnabas partnered with Paul to preach the gospel in various cities and helped many people become followers of Jesus. Although they later had a disagreement that caused them to separate, Barnabas remained devoted to encouraging and strengthening the faith of Christians throughout his life until he was eventually martyred for his beliefs.

Follow the Leader!
The task of leadership is not to put greatness into people, but to elicit it, for the greatness is there already!” – John Buchan
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more & become more, you are a leader!” – John Quincy Adams
The number of the disciples was multiplied
The number of disciples was multiplied after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Several key events occurred:
1) Thousands were baptized after Peter's message on Pentecost, growing the early Church.
2) There was a complaint from Hellenistic Jews against the Hebrews about the distribution of aid, leading seven men to be ordained to oversee the Church's temporal work.
3) Philip preached in Samaria and baptized the Ethiopian eunuch, showing the gospel was preached to all people.
The early Church experienced rapid growth through conversion and missionary work after Jesus' resurrection.
Making Christlike Disciples: Growth
This document outlines a course to help disciples grow in spiritual maturity and Christlikeness. It discusses 10 key areas of focus: 1) developing a passion for God, 2) mastering the Bible, 3) cultivating prayer and fasting, 4) relating to the Holy Spirit, 5) growing in Christian character, 6) having a passion for souls, 7) practicing stewardship, 8) facing life's challenges with faith, 9) nurturing Christian fellowship, and 10) embracing self-denial and cross-bearing. The objective is to produce disciples who increasingly reflect Jesus in their lives, ministries, and relationships with God and others. Regular evaluation is encouraged to facilitate continuous spiritual growth.
Where do i sign? life
The Israelites grumble against Moses for bringing them into the wilderness where there is no food or water. God sends venomous serpents among the people as judgment, but tells Moses to make a bronze serpent and lift it up so that those who are bitten can look at it and live. This prefigures Jesus being lifted up on the cross so that all who believe in him will have eternal life. While God did not send his Son to condemn the world, those who refuse to believe and love darkness rather than light stand condemned. By grace through faith we have been saved from wrath and raised with Christ.
Vintage faithful presence_2.26.17
The document discusses how early Christians cared for the poor and vulnerable through acts of service, sharing resources, and seeing all people as neighbors and family. It provides examples from the Bible of Jesus teaching about caring for "the least of these" and stories where not helping others in need can lead to spiritual consequences. The interpretation is that truly following Jesus means embracing and helping all people in need, regardless of differences, as part of participating in God's kingdom.
Making Christlike Disciples: Maturity
This document outlines the key aspects of Christian maturity, including doctrinal maturity, Christlike character, fruitful ministry, fulfilling God's call, and intimacy with God.

ACE 2016 Spring Kickoff Meeting
An overview of the spring semester of ACE, with the theme, "Fear Not and Go Forth with the Holy Spirit"
Jesus The Premiere Leader
Jesus is described as the greatest leader of all time based on his qualities of love, morality, integrity, humility and effectiveness. As a leader, Jesus served others by washing his disciples' feet, teaching the golden rule, and sacrificing himself on the cross. The document argues that Jesus continues to be a local leader today through his teachings in the Bible and influence on Christian churches around the world.
The Choice Between Baal And Jehovah
The document discusses Elijah challenging the people of Israel to choose between worshipping Baal or Jehovah. It notes that the people did not answer, possibly because it was easier to believe in Baal. It then discusses how modern churches can be unclear in their beliefs, merging worldly values with teachings. False teachers are described as those who teach things contrary to the Bible about topics like Jesus, salvation, and eternal life. The document encourages pondering how well one knows the Bible and whether they believe in serving both God and wealth. It closes by referring to the choice between building one's foundation on rock by following Jesus' teachings or on sand by not following them.
#4 kingdom blueprint.ppt
1. The document presents a comprehensive plan or blueprint for establishing God's kingdom on earth.
2. It discusses the original created and fallen states of man, and restoration through Christ.
3. The plan involves eliminating the separation of sacred and secular, and instead seeing all of life and work as falling under God's authority and done for His glory.
Dr Viju - 1
The document discusses the concept of salvation as presented in the Bible. It says believers should work out their salvation with fear and trembling, as God is working in them to will and act for his good purpose. It then references examples throughout history of people who worked out their salvation through faith and good works, expanding its scope to reconciliation with God and others rather than just an individual ticket to heaven. The character of salvation described is one of freedom from condemnation and the ability to live fully for God's kingdom purposes.
Acts 8
The document discusses how God used persecution in Jerusalem to advance the gospel to Samaria. When Stephen was killed, all the disciples except the apostles fled and preached in Samaria. This led to a revival where many Samaritans believed. However, one man named Simon pretended to believe but only wanted power, showing true faith requires a heart right with God rather than believing just because of miracles.
Celebrating 500 years of the Reformation Part Two
This document summarizes key aspects of the Protestant Reformation, including the imperfections of early reformers like Luther and Calvin, and the "five solas" they rediscovered:
1) Sola Scriptura - Scripture as the supreme authority over church and human reason
2) Sola Gratia - Salvation by grace alone, not works, as a gift from God through faith
3) Sola Fide - Justification by faith alone through trusting in Christ's atonement, not works
4) Solus Christus - Christ alone as mediator between God and humanity
5) Soli Deo Gloria - Glory to God alone based on who He is and what He has

The goal of the association is to link churches together to communicate Christ through evangelism, church planting, missions, leadership development, and other ministries.
Faith of our fathers
The document discusses the faith of the apostles and founding fathers, comparing how they founded spiritual and physical nations respectively. It emphasizes that we are part of the story of both, as descendants of Abraham who are heirs to God's promise through faith in Jesus. The conclusion exhorts us to lay aside sin and run the Christian race of faith while looking to Jesus, who authored and perfected our faith.
Titus good works
1) Good works show who we truly are, but some people profess faith in God yet are disobedient and worthless for good works.
2) We need biblical patterns to learn good works, which help our teaching and withstand opponents.
3) God's people are zealous for good works because they understand they have been redeemed and are being transformed into Christ's image.

This document summarizes key events and people in the biblical story of Joab. Joab was David's commander of the army and allied with him, but disobeyed David in two instances: killing Abner, the commander of King Ishbosheth's army, and killing Absalom, David's son who usurped his throne. The document outlines these events and Joab advising David at other times. It concludes by noting David commanded Solomon to kill Joab due to his disobedience, which overshadowed his good deeds.
Before you preach part 2
The document provides guidance for preaching based on 2 Timothy 4. It advises to preach sound doctrine using God's wisdom, be patient and let God's word do its work. It warns that some will reject the truth and surround themselves with false teachers. It instructs preachers to endure afflictions when preaching the gospel or pointing out apostasy, knowing that God is with them.
Before you preach. part 1
Moses stood up against false teachers despite facing frustration, requiring courage to stand outside one's comfort zone. Preachers should prepare for potential persecution from people and brethren who disagree, seeking only to please God rather than selfish ambition. Effective preaching requires using scripture as a sword to teach doctrine, rebuke error, correct faults, and instruct others as equipped by God, rather than focusing on the preacher.
Bringing christ into your marriage
This document discusses how to bring Christ into marriage through self-denial, trust, commitment, and forgiveness. It argues that just as Christians deny themselves, trust completely in God, commit fully to living for God, and forgive endlessly, spouses must do the same for their marriage: deny themselves, trust one another completely, commit fully to the marriage, and forgive each other repeatedly. Bringing Christ-like qualities to marriage is presented as key to having a successful marriage.
Hope
This document summarizes the key points from 1 Peter 1:3-9 about having a living hope as a Christian. It discusses that this hope comes from God and His promises, is made possible through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and results in an inheritance that is incorruptible, undefiled, and will never fade away. While God protects this hope, believers also have a responsibility to access it through strong and enduring faith. Even during times of suffering, Christians can rejoice in this hope because it leads to future glory in heaven that outweighs and lasts beyond any temporary afflictions.
The golden rule
The document discusses common philosophies of men such as feeling good, might makes right, and legalism. It then outlines how to properly apply the Golden Rule by being a good neighbor, avoiding gossip, not jumping to conclusions, and not seeking revenge. Finally, it notes the Golden Rule provides unique solutions for personal convictions, correcting religious errors, and granting forgiveness.
Log out
This document discusses the negative effects of always being logged into the internet. It summarizes these effects in 3 sentences:
When we are always logged in, we unplug our influence in the world, disconnect from our brethren, stop communicating with our family, and lose important moments with our Lord. Staying constantly connected online causes us to neglect shining our light before others, encouraging fellow Christians, teaching God's word to our children, and spending precious time alone in prayer. Being continually plugged into technology removes us from real-world interactions and disconnects our relationship with God.
Standing On the Shoulders of Giants
This document discusses standing on the shoulders of giants, referring to building upon the knowledge and work of those who came before. It notes that Isaac Newton and Bernard of Chartres used this phrase, and that the Israelites inherited the infrastructure built by others. Similarly, Timothy learned the faith from his mother and grandmother. The document encourages handing down the labor and teachings of early American Christians, following the Apostles' way rather than discovering new doctrines. It discusses debates that took place centuries ago but which we now have answers to thanks to the work of others. The conclusion exhorts developing an open but discerning attitude like the Bereans when evaluating arguments.
Does the end justify the means
This document discusses the concept that godly ends must be reached through godly methods, and that the end does not justify the means. It provides examples from the Bible where people tried to rationalize ungodly methods by citing good intentions or ends, but God was not pleased with their disobedience. Specifically, it references Saul offering sacrifices himself instead of waiting for Samuel, and Saul's decision to spare captured wealth from the Amalekites against God's command. The document cautions against compromising truth or disregarding God's will in order to achieve goals.
Shepherds for the chief shepherd
The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of elders in the local church. It states that elders have been given authority by God and the Holy Spirit to oversee the church. It encourages entrusting and committing elders to the Lord, as his plan for church authority is good. It notes that if elders set a strong example, edify others, and work joyfully, then the congregation will benefit and be strengthened. The document concludes by reminding readers that as members of the congregation, they should submit to their elders and always desire to follow the Chief Shepherd, who is Christ.
The office of a deacon
This document discusses the role and qualifications of deacons in the church. It defines deacons as servants who minister to others. The Bible describes the first deacons as meeting practical needs in the early church. To become a deacon, one must demonstrate qualifications of character, including being grave, blameless, and not greedy. Deacons must also have proven Christian experience and be able to manage their household and children well. The document encourages self-reflection on whether one's life already meets these qualifications before taking on the role of deacon.
The Universal Church and the Local Church
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Equipping the Saints Hezekiah
Hezekiah strengthened Judah against the Assyrian king Sennacherib by equipping Jerusalem militarily and spiritually. He rebuilt walls, made weapons, and ensured the city's water supply. However, it was ultimately God who saved Jerusalem, not military technology alone. The document also discusses how Hezekiah showed Babylon all his treasures, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy that Babylon would later rob Judah. It asks what motivates Satan to destroy homes, listing potential causes like sexual immorality, lack of doctrinal knowledge, and frustration leading to hate and gossip.
Those Who Desire to Be Rich
This document discusses wealth and the desire to be rich. It notes that while wealth itself is not evil and can be a gift from God, the desire to be rich can take one's focus away from God. References are made to passages in the Bible such as 1 Timothy 6:6-10, Matthew 5:23-26, and Ecclesiastes 5:10-17 that discuss the difficulties of the rich entering heaven and wealth not satisfying one. The rich man from Luke 12:13-21 is used as an example of one who focused on himself rather than God.
Slides for 7 15-8 am
The document provides guidance on managing finances in marriage from a biblical perspective. It discusses that money should not be loved over God and can destroy relationships if not properly managed. It encourages couples to be good stewards of what God provides and to make financial decisions together with integrity, trust, and open communication. Key issues that can harm marriages if not addressed include debt, lack of budgeting, selfishness over money, materialism, and failing to prioritize God and family over possessions.

Common pitfalls like infidelity, finances, lack of intimacy, abuse and lack of commitment that can ruin marriages will be listed and discussed. Scriptures guiding Christian marriages will also be outlined.
The Church
The document discusses three temples in Haggai and how the glory of the latter temple is greater than the former. It provides context that in 538 BC, Zerubbabel and Joshua rebuilt the temple after the exile. In 520 BC, Haggai and Zechariah encouraged the people to finish rebuilding the temple despite delays. The temple was completed in 515 BC. God told the people rebuilding the second temple that the glory of this temple would be greater than the first temple built by Solomon. The greatest temple is the church, which Christ leads and cannot be destroyed.

This document discusses marriage, divorce and remarriage from a biblical perspective. It begins by noting the importance of using only the Bible as the standard for determining what is acceptable. The document then lists various positions that different religious groups take on the issues of divorce and remarriage, such as allowing it only for death of a spouse, for any legal cause, or for the innocent party in cases of adultery. It emphasizes that the word of God as revealed in scripture must be the sole standard used to evaluate these important issues.

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
