Acts 1:1-11 Mission Possible
After the ascension, Jesus continues His mission through the Spirit's power and the believers' participation
Vintage 1.16.22 when_winemeansmore
Jesus performs his first miracle at a wedding in Cana, turning water into wine when they ran out. This sign reveals God's glory through Jesus transcending nature and caring for ordinary people and circumstances. It points to both God's magnificence and immanence in revealing himself through Jesus in the everyday lives and needs of people.
Vintage 1.23.22 who_isinandwhoisout
The prayer asks God to bring healing, speak truth, and shed light to reveal God's glory and Christ to all creation. It praises God for gathering all things and revealing Jesus as Savior.
The document discusses Jesus teaching in the synagogue in Nazareth and quoting Isaiah about bringing good news to the poor, release to captives, recovery of sight to the blind. Jesus says no prophet is accepted in their hometown, citing how Elijah and Elisha helped a foreign widow and Syrian general instead of Israelites. The people try to throw Jesus off a cliff in anger at this revelation.
The final prayer asks God to listen to all people's cries and grant that through proclaiming God, all will
Recapturing The Great Commission
The document summarizes Jesus' post-resurrection appearances to his disciples over 40 days, during which he instructed them about the kingdom of God. He commanded them to stay in Jerusalem and await the Holy Spirit. Jesus then ascended into heaven while the disciples watched. Two men told the disciples that Jesus would return in the same manner.
Without Christ
What would our world be like had Christ never lived? What if He had not died or rose again? Unbelievers face a chaotic world without the benefit of Jesus and his peace.
Day #40 a
Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert for 40 days where he was tempted by the devil but resisted. He returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit and taught in the synagogues. On the Sabbath in his hometown synagogue of Nazareth, Jesus read from Isaiah about bringing good news to the poor and proclaimed this scripture was fulfilled.
After his resurrection, Jesus appeared to the apostles he had chosen over 40 days and instructed them to stay in Jerusalem until receiving the Holy Spirit. He was then taken up into heaven in their sight, and two men told them Jesus would return in the same manner.
Vintage 2.13.22 road_ofblessingtrailoftears
This document contains summaries of passages from Matthew 5-6 and Luke 6 from a First Nations version of the Bible. The summaries highlight that Jesus teaches that God's blessings rest with the poor, mournful, meek, hungry for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, and those who are persecuted for righteousness. Commentators note that God prioritizes the marginalized and gives special consideration to the oppressed. Jesus reveals the heart of a God who loves without limit, even his enemies. The passages show that God calls people to live anticipating the kind of living we will do in the age to come.

START STRONG 1 - THE STRENGTH OF THE HOLY - PTR ALAN ESPORAS - 4PM AFTERNOON ...Faithworks Christian Church
This document discusses the strength and power that comes from the Holy Spirit. It notes that Jesus told his disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit before going out into the world. The Holy Spirit gives believers power to be witnesses for Christ. While humans are proud of their own strength, it is nothing compared to the strength from God and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit continues to empower believers and breathe new life into worship and the church.Ezekiel
Ezekiel was a priest from Judah who prophesied during and after the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC. He emphasized reminding Judah of their sins that led to exile, prophesying judgment on gentile nations, and encouraging the people by prophesying future restoration. God's glory, or power over judgment, was a key theme. Ezekiel experienced visions as dreams to communicate spiritual truths. He commonly referred to the people of Israel as the "House of Israel." His call involved God instructing him to eat a scroll and then speak God's words to the rebellious people.
Morning glory
Jesus Christ is described as the ‘morning star’ in 2 Peter 1:19 (phosphoros) and in Revelation 2:28 (aster proinos), and He identifies Himself as ‘the bright morning star’ (ho aster ho lampros ho proninos) in Revelation 22:16” (413).
He goes on to point out that this “star” symbolism reflects the Old Testament and inter-testament emphasis on the “celestial” nature of the coming Messiah (cf. Num. 24:17; Mal. 4:2).
William Barclay suggested several ideas. He thought the expression could signify the coming resurrection of the righteous. Just as the “morning star” breaks forth from the darkness of night, so the Lord’s people will break out of the darkness of the grave (1957, 67).
Later, however, he came to a different conclusion. He was “quite certain” that the “correct interpretation” is this. The “morning star” is Christ himself.
27th October 2016 - Miracles of Jesus - The Ascension of Jesus Christ
Jesus ascended into heaven 40 days after his resurrection. During this time, he appeared to his followers and taught them about the kingdom of God. According to the book of Acts, Jesus gathered his apostles and told them to remain in Jerusalem until they received power from the Holy Spirit. As they watched, Jesus was taken up into a cloud and disappeared from their sight. Two men in white then told them Jesus would return in the same manner.
Emmanuel, God With Us
The document discusses several Bible passages about Jesus Christ being God incarnate who came to save humanity. It references his virgin birth, miracles performed, death to atone for sins, and wise men following his star to bring him gifts. The overall message is that God loved the world so much that he sent his son Jesus to redeem mankind.
15th December 2016 - The Bible - Book of 1 Kings
The document provides an overview of the Book of 1 Kings in the Bible. It discusses how 1 Kings traces Solomon's rise to kingship after David's death and the division of Israel into two kingdoms. It describes how most subsequent kings were evil and led Israel away from God, despite efforts of prophets like Elijah. Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal to prove God's power and went into hiding when threatened by Queen Jezebel. The book highlights lessons for believers about avoiding idolatry and bad influences.
Purpose of miracles
The document discusses the purposes of miracles according to the Bible. The main purposes are to confirm the message and teachings of Jesus and prove that God was working through him, as well as to provide for humanity things they could not otherwise obtain. Examples of miracles described include healings, casting out demons, and provision of needs. The overall message is that miracles were intended to authenticate that Jesus was sent from God, not for personal benefit or entertainment.
Advent 2021 joy_message_12.19.21
The document provides excerpts from the Bible and commentary on the themes of Advent, death, and the coming of God. It discusses John's vision of a new heaven and new earth with no more death or mourning. God will wipe away every tear and make all things new. The commentary reflects on embracing the reality of God's joy and mercy rather than thinking of God as a faceless bureaucrat. It finds hope in the assurances of the resurrection and God's kingdom conquering death.
Warriors ss bible study may 10 2015
The document summarizes the Bible study discussion of the Warriors Sunday School Class on May 10, 2015. It discusses passages from Acts and Mark about spreading the gospel despite opposition. The class considered questions like why belief in Christ's resurrection is vital, and whether observers would note those who have been with Jesus. When ordered to stop preaching, Peter and John refused, saying they must obey God rather than men. The document provides context and verses to encourage continuing to proclaim the gospel in the face of difficulty.
Sabbath school lesson 9, 1st quarter of 2016
The document summarizes key events and challenges in the early Christian church as recorded in Acts in the Bible. It discusses how the disciples initially had wrong ideas about Jesus restoring Israel's kingdom politically. It then describes how communication issues were overcome at Pentecost when people heard the gospel in their own languages. It notes both times of victory when opposition could not stop the gospel's spread, and times of defeat like Stephen's stoning. It concludes with Peter learning not to view Gentiles as unclean.
THE SABBATH SCHOOL - 1st QUARTER 2021 - LESSON 6
God revealed to Isaiah a vision of the spiritual conflict between good and evil. Isaiah was shown that while evil powers may seem to be gaining control of nations, God is ultimately in control and victorious. The prophecy focuses on the fate of several nations including Babylon, which would become a symbol of rebellion against God. Babylon's king is described allegorically as the devil wanting to be like God, but is destined for destruction. In contrast, those who trust in God will find peace and be part of God's kingdom in the earth made new.
The Glory Of His Return
The document discusses Jesus' ascension to heaven and promise to return, as described in Acts 1:1-11. It provides reasons why the second coming of Christ is not taken seriously, such as doubts about the resurrection or not being ready to meet Him. It then gives reasons for Christ's return, including that He promised to, in order to deliver believers from death, God's anger, and the curse, and to establish His eternal reign. The overall message is that believers must be ready for Christ's return.
Things concerning the kingdom of god ha22 04192015
1) The document discusses the urgency and importance of preaching about the Kingdom of God. Jesus and his disciples preached about the Kingdom, and Paul continued preaching about it.
2) It explores the nature of the Kingdom of God, saying it is eternal and spiritual rather than of this world. The Kingdom came with power on the day of Pentecost.
3) To enter the Kingdom of God, one must be born of water and spirit through baptism, as demonstrated in Acts when people were baptized and added to the church after hearing the gospel. Preaching the Kingdom is essential for church growth.

This document discusses the meaning of Jesus being "Immanuel" or "God with us". It provides several Bible verses asserting that Jesus is always with believers. It means that believers will never be alone and will always have God's constant companionship, help in times of need, and strength for any task. Jesus laid down his life to save people from their sins and heal those who are struggling or infirm. Through faith in Christ, believers can face anything in life with confidence.

Preach the WHOLE Gospel
The document discusses the preaching of the gospel and kingdom of God. It provides biblical definitions of key terms: the gospel refers to Christ's death for sins and resurrection, the kingdom of God refers to God's ruling government to be headed by Christ. Several passages are cited showing Jesus and his disciples preaching the kingdom of God and gospel, defined as the good news about God's coming kingdom to be ruled by Messiah Jesus. Preaching involved solemnly testifying about the kingdom of God and persuading people about Jesus as the Messiah.

It provides several biblical examples of people who demonstrated great faith, such as Abraham obeying God's call and Peter walking on water at Jesus' command. It emphasizes that we should have big, risk-taking faith in God and not limit Him with small thinking. Faith pleases God and is needed to receive His promises. We should share our faith and testimonies to help others believe.Christmas Through Their Eyes, part 2

Journey Through The Bible: The Prophets of the Bible
The Prophets and prophecies are recorded through out the Bible from genesis to Revelation: from Noah, to King David, from John the Baptist to Jesus to the lesser known prophets in the early church. The prophets communicate God's messages different ages and can have multiple fulfillments.
Christ's Ascension
What is the difference between the resurrection of Christ and His ascension? What would have happened if Christ had not risen from the grave? What would have happened if Christ had not ascended into heaven? Why do you think most Christians, and the Church at large, place little emphasis on the ascension of Jesus Christ? How does the ascension of Christ practically affect your Christian faith, your obedience to Him, your love for the brethren, and your hope in the future?

7 Ascension A
The document summarizes the first reading from Acts 1:1-11 about Jesus' ascension. It discusses how Jesus appeared to the apostles after his resurrection and taught them for 40 days about the kingdom of God. It describes how Jesus told the apostles to remain in Jerusalem and await the Holy Spirit. It recounts that as the apostles watched, Jesus was lifted up into heaven. Two men in white garments told the apostles that Jesus would return in the same manner.

Jesus Preached The Kingdom Slides, 4/14/13
The document describes Jesus' post-resurrection appearance to two disciples on the road to Emmaus. The disciples discuss Jesus' crucifixion with a stranger who turns out to be Jesus. They tell Jesus about the women finding Jesus' empty tomb but not seeing him. Jesus then explains to the disciples how the Messiah was prophesied to suffer and enter into glory.
Being Led
The document compares the stories of Isaac in Genesis 26 and Elimelech in Ruth 1. Both faced famine but had different outcomes. Isaac obeyed God's instruction to stay in the land and was blessed, while Elimelech left for Moab and died. This shows the importance of being led by the Holy Spirit rather than relying on human strength alone. The Holy Spirit guides believers through God's word, peace, and will lead according to the scriptures. It is important for Christians to renew their minds with God's word and closely follow the Spirit's leading.
Week 7 Theo Interpretation of the Church
This document provides an overview of key passages related to the church in the New Testament narrative. It discusses Jesus' Great Commission in Matthew 28, emphasizing the themes of worship, authority, baptism, and ongoing presence. It examines the purpose of Jesus' ascension in Daniel 7 and its enabling of the Spirit's sending. At Pentecost in Acts 2, the church is born as God's Spirit fills believers, making them God's temple. Passages in Isaiah, Ezekiel and Joel foretold the Spirit being poured out on the Messiah, Israel and all people. Acts 10 details how the Spirit fell on Gentiles, showing circumcision and dietary laws were no longer required.
God’s kingdom to be established on earth forever
God’s kingdom to be established on earth. The establishment of a glorious new worldwide government at the return of Jesus Christ
God’s kingdom to be established on earth
1. The document discusses the biblical prophecies about God establishing his kingdom on earth through Jesus Christ. When Jesus returns, he will rule the world from Jerusalem and establish a government that brings peace and justice.
2. Several prophets including Isaiah, Zechariah, Daniel, and Jesus himself foretold of this future worldwide kingdom. The prophecies describe animals living in harmony, an end to war, and nations coming to Jerusalem to learn God's laws.
3. The hope for Christians is to be resurrected to live forever in this new world without sickness or death under the rule of Jesus Christ.
Two Kingdoms
This document discusses the differences between the kingdom of heaven and the church. It provides biblical references to support the position that the kingdom of heaven refers to Christ's future earthly kingdom during the Millennium, while the church refers to believers in the current church age. Key points made include that the kingdom will be a physical, earthly kingdom where salvation is based on works, while the church is a spiritual body entered by faith. The document also examines multiple passages in Matthew that reference the kingdom of heaven to argue they are referring to Christ's future earthly reign.
The Genesis-Revelation Connection
This document discusses signs in the sun, moon, and stars as mentioned in Genesis 1:14 and other biblical passages. It explores how the biblical feasts of Leviticus 23, such as Passover and Pentecost, were fulfilled by Jesus and relate to future events. The document suggests the rapture may occur on the Feast of Trumpets based on passages like 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. It examines symbols like fig trees and the number patterns in biblical passages to argue important biblical events occurred in Jubilee years, including Israel becoming a nation in 1948.

It then discusses passages from Acts 1 which describe Jesus appearing to the apostles over 40 days after his resurrection, instructing them to remain in Jerusalem and wait for the Holy Spirit. The passages conclude with Jesus' ascension into heaven witnessed by the apostles, as two men in white tell them Jesus will return in the same manner.

The document discusses the significance of the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 when the Holy Spirit fell upon the apostles. It summarizes that this day:
1) Marked the beginning of the kingdom/church as promised, with the coming of power from the Holy Spirit;
2) Saw the reversal of the curse of Babel as people from many nations heard the gospel in their own languages; and
3) Signaled an end to the Law of Moses and beginning of the Law of Christ, paralleling but reversing what happened at Mount Sinai.
Acts 1,1 8-2
The document discusses faithful listening to God's word in order to cultivate a hunger for it, find God's plan, obey what is true, and celebrate life in Christ. It then summarizes passages from Acts 1 where Jesus appears to the apostles after resurrection and instructs them to remain in Jerusalem and await the Holy Spirit, and that they will receive power to be witnesses for Jesus in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the earth. The document connects this to Jesus' Great Commission in Matthew to make disciples of all nations.
The kingdom various scriptures
The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven were great parts of Jesus' teaching while he was here of earth. What does it mean to us now?
The Ascension of the King - Luke 24 & Acts 1
The document summarizes the ascension of Jesus Christ according to the books of Luke and Acts. It discusses how for Luke, the ascension confirms Jesus' status and authority as king following his resurrection. It is described not as Jesus leaving but gaining a cosmic presence everywhere. His followers received power through the Holy Spirit to be witnesses of Jesus in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
Similar to Patience while we wait (Acts 1v1-11) (20)

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
