(1) Noah built an ark by faith to save his family from God's judgment on the world, as God had warned him about things not yet seen. Through his faith and obedience, Noah condemned the world and was heir to righteousness.

This document discusses the biblical roles of husbands and wives in marriage. It argues that husbands should exercise loving headship over their wives by viewing them as treasures entrusted by God. Husbands are responsible for leading their families, but not as dictators - their authority comes from God and they must sacrifice themselves and prioritize God's will. The document also says some men misunderstand their role, which is to truly love their wives as Christ loves the church by sacrificing, sanctifying, and caring for her needs. Fulfilling these biblical roles of headship and love results in a divinely blessed marriage.
The document discusses the three stages of marriage preparation - remote, proximate, and immediate. It focuses on the immediate preparation, which is the pre-cana seminar.

It emphasizes strengthening families and transmitting faith from parents to children.

The document encourages readers to enlist as soldiers in God's army by putting on this armor through prayer and knowing the word of God.

Christians are called to let their light shine through good deeds and obedience so that others may glorify God.

This document discusses ways that people can limit God and how to remove those limitations. It analyzes passages from Psalms that describe how the Israelites limited God through disobedience, forgetfulness, unbelief, insincerity, and the condition of their hearts. The document defines what it means to limit God and provides examples from the Bible. It suggests two ways to take the limits off God: 1) Considering that God is all-powerful and nothing is too hard for Him. 2) Trusting Him completely and believing He can do impossible things.

This document discusses developing a passionate worship of God. It outlines that passionate worship comes from having a strong love for God that is deeper than any other passion. It also requires getting to know God intimately through Scripture and experiencing His presence. The document provides biblical examples of passionate worship and defines it as enthusiastic, heartfelt worship with one's whole being. It then lists seven keys to unlocking a passionate worship: fervently loving God, knowing Him deeply, thirsting and hungering for more of Him, worshipping even in hard times, loving His presence, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and remembering His wonders.
God is referred to as both Jehovah and Adonai. Jehovah emphasizes God as the source of wisdom, while Adonai emphasizes God's ownership of the world and demands absolute obedience as our master and creator. As Adonai, God made us and everything belongs to him, so he has the right to rule over our lives.
This document discusses Jesus being led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil for 40 days. It outlines three stages in Israel's journey from Egypt (imprisonment), to the wilderness (challenges and preparation), to the promised land (prosperity). The wilderness represents surviving day to day, waiting for answers to prayer, mediocrity, and ineffective ministry. Jesus withstood three temptations from the devil by relying on scripture. Surviving the wilderness can make believers strong so they can move into the promised land of an effective, spirit-filled life.
“Being used by God
is not confined to pastors, preachers or teachers. Anybody can be an instrument
in God's hands.”
God can use anybody, believer or nonbeliever.
God's ultimate goal for believers is to become like Christ through spiritual growth and development of Christ-like character. We are saved by Jesus, our Savior and Lord, and must cooperate with the Holy Spirit's work to put off our old selves and put on the new self. God uses His word, people, and circumstances to mold us into Christ's image through a long and slow lifelong process of character development.
This document discusses developing a prayer of faith. It explains that through Christ's sacrifice, there is forgiveness and healing for all who accept it by faith. It references James 5:13-15 about praying for the sick and anointing them with oil. Developing a prayer of faith means having confidence in God's word, knowing God's will and receiving it through prayer, and praying God's word back to him as it will not return void. An example is given of a woman who was healed after 12 years because she had faith touching Jesus would heal her. Hindrances to prayer of faith include unforgiveness and doubt.

Sermon by Pastor Ariel Mendi
This document calls Christians to walk in holiness and defines holiness as sanctity and purity. It explains that God calls us to be holy and commands us to be holy like Him. The Bible teaches that those with impure hearts cannot enter God's kingdom. The document uses Daniel as an example of someone who was committed to not defiling himself and as a result, received favor and protection from God. It provides steps to living in holiness, such as repenting, renouncing sin, and resisting temptation.
The document summarizes a parable from Luke 18:9-14 about a Pharisee and tax collector who went to the temple to pray. The Pharisee boasted of his righteousness through fasting and tithing, while the tax collector humbly beat his breast and asked for God's mercy as a sinner. Jesus said the tax collector, not the Pharisee, was justified by God, showing that humility rather than self-righteousness is accepted by God.
The women came to Jesus' tomb early on the first day of the week while it was still dark, despite obstacles. Upon arriving, they found the stone rolled away from the tomb and Jesus' body missing. That evening, Jesus appeared to the disciples and showed them his hands and side, offering them his peace. The passage encourages believers to humbly come to Jesus even when afraid, as he will give victory over all obstacles and trials.
The document discusses evidence that supports the validity and authority of the Bible. It notes that the Bible has endured for centuries, is consistent with historical accounts, and contains scientific and medical knowledge that was well ahead of its time. Archaeological findings have also corroborated many biblical claims. The document argues this evidence demonstrates the Bible is truly God-breathed and that trying it for oneself can reveal its spiritual blessings and power to transform lives.
