Mediating church
The document discusses how the church must adapt to sharing the gospel message online, just as Jesus adapted his message for humanity. It argues that as God created the physical world and finds it good, so too technology created by humanity has potential for good. As Jesus incarnated himself in human form to teach and guide people, so too the church must not shy away from engaging with people online to spread its message to both believers and non-believers in the digital world. The church is called to steward and interpret God's creation, so it cannot remain aloof from technology but must embrace and guide people in their use of it.
Testimonies Volume 6 - Evangelistic work
I have been reading volume six of the Testimonies, and I find in this little book instruction that will help us to meet many perplexing questions. How many have read the article “Evangelistic Work” in this volume? I advise that these directions and warnings and cautions be read to our people at some time when they are gathered together. By far too small a portion of our people are in possession of these books. {Lt292-1907 (September 21, 1907) par. 9}

This is a study of Jesus dealing with the fruitless and the fruitful. It is vol. 2 about the barren fig tree, and of the importance of being fruitful to please our Lord.

A reward for selfless service
This document discusses the importance of selfless service and being charitable to those in need. Some key points:
- One must be faithful in serving others to inherit what is their own from God. If one is not charitable, how can they expect to receive blessings?
- Jesus teaches that when hosting others, one should invite the poor, disabled, and disadvantaged who cannot repay the favor. Service to those in need will be rewarded at the resurrection of the just.
- True servants of God render help and healing freely without charge. They are not "hirelings" but give out of sincere care for others. One must be one's "brother's keeper" through selfless acts of kindness to

The document discusses teaching the Bible through a narrative lens rather than a topical one. It notes that viewing the Bible as a cohesive story, from Creation to Christ's return, allows the full context of passages to be understood rather than taking passages out of context. It warns that topical teaching risks putting human opinions above scriptural truth and can lead to biblical illiteracy. The document advocates teaching the biblical narrative and helping students see their own story within the overarching story of God.
SOM-16 Hermeneutics of Money-Tithing
This class will examine the biblical concept of “giving” with the goal of improving our teaching & practice of giving.
This class includes the Old Testament tithe system, its absence for the most part from the New Testament, & what application the tithe has for us today.
It will also cover Stewardship as an Application of Hermeneutics of Money.
Lesson 17 new testament eternal life
This document contains a lesson about what must be sacrificed to inherit eternal life. It discusses how trusting in riches can keep people out of God's kingdom, and how followers of Christ must be willing to forsake all things to be true disciples. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus teaches that we should care for the poor. True charity means serving without expectation of reward. To receive eternal life, we must be willing to sacrifice worldly things and serve God fully.

Romans 12c We are all important in the church
The document is a sermon discussing how all members of the church are equally important and have different gifts to offer. It encourages readers to use their gifts to serve others through ministries like teaching, encouragement, leadership, and showing mercy. Each person's contributions are needed as the church works together as one body of Christ.
Christian foundations 201 - Stewardship & Tithing
This document discusses the Christian concepts of stewardship and tithing. It defines stewardship as the management of affairs not one's own, and describes Christians as stewards of the gifts God has given them, including time, abilities, spiritual gifts, materials, and money. The document then discusses tithing, which is giving 10% of one's income to God. It provides biblical justification for tithing and explains that tithing is a form of worship, builds faith, supports God's servants and work, and will result in blessings and protection from God. The document notes some reasons people may not tithe and promises blessings for those who do tithe regularly. It concludes by stating that tithes should be given
New vs old (work in progress)
1) 1 Corinthians 16 discusses the collection for the saints in Jerusalem that Paul had instructed the churches in Galatia to take up, instructing the Corinthians to set aside funds each week so there would be enough when he arrived.
2) 1 Corinthians 9 uses examples from the Old Testament and law of Moses to argue that those who minister spiritual things have a right to material support from those being ministered to, just as soldiers, farmers, shepherds, and priests received support.
3) The document discusses the various types of offerings in the Old Testament like burnt, sin, trespass, and peace offerings and explains that the purpose of these offerings was atonement, fellowship with God, worship, and obligation
Vintage 11.11.18 mark12
This document discusses a passage from the Gospel of Mark about Jesus observing a poor widow donating two small copper coins to the temple treasury. Jesus notes that her humble donation was greater than larger donations from wealthy people because she gave out of her poverty. The document provides context about religious leaders at the time who would exploit the vulnerable for money and status. It examines how Jesus upheld justice for the poor and criticized religious hypocrisy. Commentators discuss how this story highlights the importance of humble, sacrificial service to the vulnerable over empty displays of religious piety.
Theology money class_session_6
The document discusses the concept of giving and generosity from a Christian perspective. It argues that true giving comes from understanding God's grace, and that Christians should excel in giving just as they excel in other areas of life. The document encourages readers to consider how they can increase their giving and make it a priority before the end of their lives.
Tithes and offerings
Nehemiah corrected abuses in the temple where offerings had been misapplied, discouraging generosity and fervor among the people. He gathered those who had abandoned temple service and restored the proper collection and use of tithes, restoring confidence. God intends that tithes fully sustain the gospel ministry, including ordained ministers, their wives, bible workers, teachers, and medical missionaries. Individuals have responsibility as God's stewards to support needs they see in "any line of the work."
Campus LIFE - Lovelife Series - NOISE | Ptr. Alvin Gutierrez
The document discusses how to love others as Jesus loved us. It says love is patient, kind, and not self-seeking. To love like Jesus means forgetting self-entitlement, embracing our uniqueness, and having the same heart and concerns as Jesus. We should allow God's love to change our attitudes and help those who are struggling. The best miracle was Jesus loving sinners, and we can perform daily miracles by loving others as He loved us.
Theology money class_session_1
The document contains multiple Bible passages about money and wealth. It discusses Jesus observing a poor widow donate her last coins, while many rich people donated large amounts. It notes the poor widow gave more despite her poverty. It also describes a rich fool who stored up wealth for himself but was not rich toward God. God tells the fool his life will be demanded that night, and then who will get what he prepared. The document asks how we would counsel the poor widow and rich fool, and how their worldviews differ from ours.

Theology money class_session_2
The document discusses several parables told by Jesus relating to stewardship and finances. The key lessons are:
1) The parables teach that God owns all things and people are merely stewards of what He has entrusted to them.
2) Faithful stewards use their master's resources wisely and generously to benefit others until the master returns.
3) Stewards will one day give an account to the master and be judged on their faithfulness. The master expects stewards to manage resources well during his absence.
Theology money class_session_7
The document presents multiple Bible verses that indicate God will judge all people based on their deeds and works, not just on faith alone. God searches people's hearts and minds, and will repay each person according to what they have done. All will stand before God and be judged for the good or evil things done in their life. The quality and motivations of each person's works will be revealed and tested by fire, and people will be rewarded or suffer loss based on whether their works survive. The goal for Christians is to please God by the good or evil done in their earthly body, as all must stand before Christ to be judged.
How to use what God has given you
Jack Whittaker won $113 million in the lottery but claims to now be broke after only 4 years due to thieves stealing his money. The document discusses how someone could spend over $100 million in such a short time and provides biblical lessons on being good stewards of what God has given us, including time, treasures, talents, and testimony. A sermon series will focus on using each of these gifts to please God.
MA Class 1
The document discusses why people should become missional/attractional in order to share God's love with others. It notes that God loves people, and as Christians who love God, we should love what God loves. It then outlines how just one effective disciple maker can lead to thousands and eventually millions of people coming to know Christ over time as they disciple others. However, the document notes it is not our responsibility to convert people but to share our faith gently and respectfully. It acknowledges barriers to being missional, like not loving others as much as God does. It encourages examining who we don't like and lists scripture about God's love. It concludes that becoming more effective requires seeing others as those God loves
Theology money class_session_8
The document discusses biblical passages about eternal rewards for believers. It notes that believers will be rewarded according to their works and faithfulness to God. There will be different levels of reward in heaven based on how believers lived on earth, including crowns for overcoming trials and making disciples. The rewards will far outweigh any suffering endured for Christ and motivate Christians to serve wholeheartedly.
GD NT 11: MeckMom LDS Gospel Doctrine New Testament Lesson 11
The document provides an analysis of several parables from Matthew 13. It examines the meaning and interpretation of each parable, including the Parable of the Sower, Parable of the Wheat and Tares, Parable of the Mustard Seed, Parable of the Leaven, Parable of the Hidden Treasure and Pearl of Great Price, and the Parable of the Net. Key points include discussing different types of people represented by the soils in the Parable of the Sower and explaining why Jesus taught in parables, which could be applied and interpreted differently by various people.
How to use your treasure
The document provides guidance on properly using monetary treasures or wealth that God has entrusted to people. It discusses tithing, or giving 10% of one's earnings to God and the church. While some people claim they cannot afford to tithe or that tithing was just for Israel, the document argues that tithing was practiced before Mosaic law and that one cannot outgive God; by faithfully returning treasures to God, God will provide for all needs.
Stewardship
1) Stewardship refers to the careful and responsible management of something that has been entrusted to one's care, such as property or an organization.
2) The document discusses different areas of stewardship including the church, family, our bodies, our neighbors, and property in general.
3) Effective stewardship involves using the talents and resources God has given us to serve and care for others.
Theology money class_session_12
The document discusses various perspectives on leaving inheritances to children from religious texts and prominent figures. It cautions that large inheritances can destroy ambition and virtue in children. Instead, parents are encouraged to leave children with moral character and skills rather than just money and wealth. The document also provides advice on training children to be good stewards of money and generous givers.
Theology money class_session_5
The document discusses biblical perspectives on money, possessions, and generosity. It provides several "keys" or principles: 1) God owns everything and we are merely stewards of what he provides. 2) Where we put our money reveals where our heart is and determines where it will go. 3) Heaven, not earth, is our true home. 4) We should live not just for short-term pleasures but with an eye to eternal rewards. 5) Giving is the only remedy for materialism and selfish desires. 6) God blesses our generosity not to raise our standard of living but to increase our standard of giving.
Exponential '06 Pastors' Conference: The Treasure Principle
The document discusses Christian giving in America. It notes that American Christians control much of the world's Christian wealth but give very little, with the average Christian giving far less than 10% of their income. Younger Christians give even less proportionally. It argues that Christians have misplaced priorities in how they spend their money and that their lack of generous giving hurts the church, missions, and their own spiritual growth. It encourages Christians to view themselves as stewards of God's resources and give more generously to store up treasure in heaven.

This document discusses Christian giving and whether tithing is prescribed for the church. It examines what the Old and New Testaments say about tithing. While tithing was a requirement in the Old Testament, totaling 23-30% of produce and animals, the New Testament does not explicitly command or mention tithing for Christians. The document cautions against putting Christians under the law and emphasizes that following Christ costs everything, not just 10%. It summarizes that the New Testament teaches Christians to generously give according to their means to support ministry and help those in need.

26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.
“But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’
8 “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.
“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’
“In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.

Jesus addresses the church in Laodicea, criticizing them for being lukewarm - neither hot nor cold in their faith. As a city, Laodicea had lukewarm water from its aqueduct, and Jesus uses this as a metaphor for the half-hearted spiritual state of the church. He warns that because they are lukewarm, neither committed nor apathetic, he will "vomit" them out. Jesus calls on the church to get off the fence, fully commit to pursuing his kingdom, and reignite their fervor, or else face judgment.

Passion for serving
This document discusses the importance of fellowship, friendship, family, and faith. It emphasizes serving God wholeheartedly without seeking recognition from people. Several biblical passages are referenced to encourage committing fully to God's calling and trusting that He will reward our faithful service. Living to serve allows us to fulfill our purpose as designed by God.
Divine Mandate - March 23
The document discusses serving God profitably and unprofitably. It talks about being condemned for doing nothing as an unprofitable servant. It warns against cowardice, false humility, and laziness. It discusses God's call to repent from wicked ways and be productive. It emphasizes being faithful over a few things rather than unfaithful with much. The overall message is about avoiding an unprofitable life before God and faithfully serving Him.
Life Is A Choice!
This document summarizes a workshop on finding purpose and prosperity in life. The workshop was presented by Alex Har and covered topics like whether life's choices are predetermined, gaining enlightenment through spirituality, and practical tips for prospecting opportunities in business and community involvement. Attendees were encouraged to clarify their goals, create a mastermind group for support, and follow the examples set in the Bible for contracting work and spreading messages of peace.
RH 29 Marzo 1892
This document contains a summary of a sermon given by Mrs. E.G. White at a meeting in Lansing, Michigan in 1891. The summary calls Christians to dedicate themselves fully to God's service, repent of sin, and receive the Holy Spirit. It warns that without holiness, Christians cannot effectively give God's message to the world. It urges readers to examine their lives and ensure they are ready for Christ's return at any time.

The document is a teaching from the leader of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, Olumba Olumba Obu. It contains:
1) Acknowledgements and statements emphasizing that the Holy Spirit is the only teacher and all people are brethren.
2) Sections from the Bible used to support the claims that Jesus is the only master and teacher, and that all people are equal as brothers.
3) Further statements asserting that the Holy Spirit alone imparts the correct teachings, and that practicing God's instructions as provided by the Holy Spirit will solve all problems and lead to salvation.
Wednesday Night Series - "How People Change", Week 2
The document provides an overview of several biblical passages that show "The Big Picture" perspective from God. It summarizes key points from Jeremiah, Corinthians, Matthew, Romans, Galatians, James and other books that illustrate how understanding life events from God's broader perspective can provide hope, comfort and direction. It aims to help readers evaluate their own lives in light of what God says about himself, humanity, the world and how he brings about change.

Peacekeepers chapter 9
This document discusses cynicism and how it can negatively impact those in professions where they regularly interact with the public, such as law enforcement. It notes that cynicism stems from focusing on our own problems and negativity rather than trusting in God. The document encourages releasing stress, worry, and anger by relying on God through prayer and spending time with fellow believers in church community. Facing humanity's inhumanity in our jobs can stir cynicism, but we are called to serve God and others with strength and character.
Peacekeepers chapter 9
The document discusses cynicism and how it can negatively impact those in professions where they regularly interact with the public, such as law enforcement. It suggests that cynicism stems from focusing too much on our own problems and issues rather than trusting in God. It provides several Bible verses encouraging people to cast their worries and anxieties on God rather than carrying them themselves, and to respond to stressful situations with patience, gentleness, and faith rather than anger or negativity.
Peacekeepers chapter 7
The document discusses why bad things happen and discusses Job's story as an example. It notes that death and suffering are a result of man's sin after the Fall. Job remained faithful to God despite tremendous personal suffering and loss, recognizing that God is sovereign. The document encourages viewing hardships as opportunities to strengthen faith and reminds us that God is with us during trials.
Peacekeepers chapter 6
The document discusses putting God first with money and possessions rather than being devoted to money. It notes that Satan wants people distracted from important things like worshipping God and spending time with family. While money is necessary, the Bible warns against greed and being enslaved by money rather than using it responsibly. The document encourages keeping God as Lord of all areas of life, including finances, and striving to be financially free so more time can be spent serving God.
Peacekeepers chapter 4
This document discusses the Christian duties and responsibilities of law enforcement officers. It encourages officers to use their position and interactions with the public as opportunities to spread the Gospel, show God's love, and be a positive example of a Christian. Officers are reminded that they are in a mission field and should be ready to offer spiritual assistance or counsel to those they encounter. The document provides numerous Bible verses exhorting Christians to live peacefully, associate with other believers, and overcome evil with good.
Peacekeepers chapter 3
The document discusses how job stress can negatively impact families if proper balance is not maintained. It provides biblical passages encouraging putting God and family first. Specific advice includes praying together, respecting each other, attending church, and committing to faithfulness, integrity and purity in relationships. Forgiveness and training children in the Lord are also emphasized.
Peacekeepers chapter 2
The document provides scripture passages about redirecting one's life according to God's will. It discusses areas that may need pruning or positive influences. It encourages maintaining faith and a spirit-filled attitude, even when facing difficult situations, and focusing on obeying God rather than exalting oneself.

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
