•
1 like•410 views
"What is the one thing you feel you can't say in church?" In May 2008, Anne Jackson asked this question on her blog. Hundreds responded. Everyone had a story. The result is a movement by people everywhere who are finished with keeping their brokenness in the dark. Through confession, both to God and to others, we can live lives that are whole and healed. This presentation offers an inside look into confessions found within the book on the topics of church dismay, questioning God, and hiding from God.

God's word influences...
This document discusses how the Bible has influenced many important historical figures and areas of life. It provides quotes from presidents, leaders, scientists, and others affirming the importance and power of the Bible. The main body then outlines different areas of life where allowing the Bible to influence one's thinking can provide clarity, purpose, and direction: origins, social and family relationships, spiritual growth, values, and eternal destiny. It encourages reading the Bible to develop strong biblical convictions and a Christian lifestyle.
Jesus is Lord
The document discusses how the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ has inspired and impacted the author. It describes how Jesus rose from the dead despite facing trials, inspiring one to have faith and never give up when facing difficulties. It also explains how Jesus' resurrection proved he had power over death and fulfilled prophecies, and that it allowed him to instruct followers before ascending to heaven. The author strives to emulate Jesus' example of perseverance through faith in times of struggle.
Lesson 7
The document discusses worldly influence and what the Bible says about it. It provides several Bible verses warning against idolatry and urging believers to set their minds on heavenly things rather than earthly. In today's highly connected world, Christians must be careful what they see, hear, touch, and participate in, as the world promotes false information. While Christians have free will, they should not want to sin just because they can, and should avoid anything the Bible says is wrong. Giving in to worldly influence can lead to being desensitized and abandoning one's faith.
Hebrews11 fear-no-evil
The document discusses Moses overcoming fear by having faith in God. It summarizes that Moses refused privileges as the son of Pharaoh's daughter in order to be mistreated with the people of God. Moses regarded disgrace for Christ as more valuable than Egypt's treasures because he looked ahead to his reward. The document encourages having faith over fear and committing to follow God's better way.
Raaaaaaaaaaawr
This document discusses the theme of faith in the novel A Prayer for Owen Meany. It provides several quotes from the book about different characters' struggles with faith or certainty in faith. Owen has absolute faith in God without needing proof, unlike other characters. The document suggests John struggles to find faith until he depends on Owen, who serves as his "little bit of proof." It also discusses Pastor Merrill's view that true faith does not require miracles or evidence.
The truth will set you free
This document discusses Jesus' statement in John 8:31-36 about truth setting people free. It argues that Jesus was not referring to academic knowledge, but rather knowledge of himself. It notes that true freedom comes from knowing Jesus, and that those who commit to following his teachings as disciples will gain this freedom from being slaves to sin. The document explores the context of Jesus' statement and the difference between those who believe on impulse versus those who truly commit to learning from and abiding in Jesus.
Christian youth camp angels and mortals
This document describes several youth camp activities and Bible study curricula from the website CreativeYouthIdeas.com. It outlines an activity called "Angels and Mortals" where students anonymously perform kind acts for each other. It also summarizes Bible study series including "Whale of a Tale" based on the book of Jonah, "Who Do You Say that I AM?" focusing on Jesus' identity, and "Fruit of the Spirit" exploring the fruits of the spirit from Galatians 5:22-23. Finally, it mentions the western-themed series "The Great Adventure" loosely based on a Steven Curtis Chapman song.
Will of God part 1 (It all Starts with Faith)
If we really want to know God's will we must shift from seeking the hand of God to the face of God through faith in Jesus.

The great divide
This document discusses Jesus' claims and teachings from the Gospel of John. It provides several quotes from Jesus asserting that he speaks the truth from God and that whoever believes in him will have eternal life. It also includes perspectives from C.S. Lewis and Paul David Houston arguing that Jesus' claims mean he was either God or a lunatic, as no ordinary prophet or teacher would have made such absolute claims. The document emphasizes maintaining a strong Christian witness by being thoroughly convinced in one's beliefs and acting with courage, patience, trustworthiness and caring for others.

Courage
Study in light of Spiritism; Moral Courage; Spiritism Brings a tool on enCOURAGEment: the knowledge of things that enables humans to know where we have come from, where we are going and why we are on the earth, we are called upon to try and see things from a higher point of view;
the perspective of happiness and future reward that awaits us should give us the patience, resignation and courage needed to follow our pathway to the end.
I Serve: The KBS-HRP Reflection Series
Jesus teaches his disciples the importance of humility and service through washing their feet at the Last Supper. Though he is their Lord and teacher, Jesus humbles himself by performing a task usually reserved for servants. He instructs his disciples that they must likewise be willing to serve and care for one another without concern for status or reward. True service, as demonstrated by Jesus, requires humility, forgetting one's position, and a willingness to help others selflessly.
No Superman
Jesus chose twelve ordinary men as his apostles so that the glory would go to God rather than the apostles themselves. Paul reiterates this point in his letter to the Corinthians, saying that he deliberately kept his message plain so that the power of God, not his own skills, would be evident. Jesus does not choose people because of what they already are, but because of what he can make of them - he puts value in everyone.
As jesusdid en
The document discusses how Jesus showed love even to those who crucified him by asking God to forgive them. It encourages readers to show love and kindness to all people, including those who are unkind in return, by praying for others and acting with care, niceness, and in a way that Jesus would. It provides an activity where readers can cut out letters to spell "love" and draw kind deeds on each to remind themselves to act with love.

Lesson 1 | Power points | Sabbath School | Second Quarter 2015
Simon, a man from Cyrene, was compelled to carry Jesus' cross after Jesus fell while carrying it. Though initially unwilling, Simon stayed at the crucifixion site until Jesus' death. Afterward, Simon was unable to participate in Passover celebrations due to ceremonial uncleanness from touching the cross. Simon later became a believer in Jesus after studying scriptures about the Messiah. Simon was grateful for having been chosen to carry Jesus' cross and often recounted the story.
Hello, My Name is Holy Spirit part 02
This document contains passages from John 14:15-24 about Jesus promising the Holy Spirit to his disciples. It discusses how obeying Jesus and having the right motives are important for receiving the Spirit. The Spirit helps believers and Jesus will not leave them as orphans. He will come to them and be in them, making his home with those who love and obey him. The world cannot see or know the Spirit, but believers do through Jesus' teachings from God the Father.
06 Sin Eng
This document discusses the origins and nature of sin from biblical passages. It describes how sin originated in pride and a desire to be like God in Lucifer and Adam and Eve. Sin exists both individually through acts, thoughts, and omissions against God's law, as well as collectively through issues in society. As Christians, we can help mitigate the effects of collective sin by living righteously according to Jesus' example and having a positive influence on others. The only solution to sin is accepting Christ as our savior.
No Blind Commitment
Pastor Myles takes us through the story of Jesus and the blindman found in John 9. Pastor Myles shows us that the blindman had everything to loose but followed with and made Jesus everything and challenges us to make Jesus our everything.

What is the Significance of Jesus?
Saul had a negative view of Jesus before his conversion, seeing him as a blasphemer and heretic. However, his entire view was radically changed when he encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus. What converted Saul's imagination was "Christ crucified", which he came to see as God's power and wisdom despite it being a stumbling block and foolishness. The cross of Christ challenges how we think and act, as the gospel is about more than just improvements in behavior or moralism - it is about being made right with God through faith in Christ.
ALIEN INTRUSION, GARY B.
Why Would a Cosmologist Care about UFOs?
By Dr. John G. Hartnett, who received his Ph.D. in physics, with distinction, from the
University of Western Australia, where he currently teaches and is a research fellow. At the time
of writing, he is a collaborator in developing ultra-precise technology for atomic clocks that will
be used on board the International Space Station. His other research includes ultra–low-noise
radar; tests of fundamental theories of physics, such as general relativity; and measurement of
drift in fundamental constants and their cosmological implications. He has published more than
40 papers in scientific journals and holds two patents.
01-06-19, Genesis 32;24-32, Transformed, Jacob Wrestles With God
Jacob wrestled with God all night, refusing to let go until he received a blessing. Though God dislocated Jacob's thigh to show his power, Jacob persisted. God then changed Jacob's name to Israel, meaning "he who struggles with God," and blessed him. Jacob was left limping, showing he had been broken by God but would now rely on him. The document uses this story and others to encourage relying on God through struggles rather than one's own strength. It emphasizes persisting in prayer like Jacob did until receiving God's blessing.
Strength of faith
The strength of faith lies in each and everything that you do. It is there and many times we fail to see because we are seeing it with the worldly eye and not with the inner eye. We must be able to see the wonder that God has done in the smallest of the smallest things.
Alpha 1
The document discusses different views about the identity of Jesus, including that he was a poet, sorcerer, politician, or the Son of God. It examines evidence that Jesus existed historically and was fully human, while also making extraordinary claims about himself that suggest he was more than just a moral teacher. The document questions whether Jesus' teachings and actions, including his resurrection from the dead, support his claim to be the Son of God.
A Trust Betrayed
This document discusses betrayal and how it usually involves those closest to us, like friends or family members. It analyzes passages from Psalms 55 and Luke 22 about betrayal, specifically how King David was betrayed by his closest friend and how Jesus was betrayed by Judas, one of his disciples. The Psalms passage expresses the deep pain of betrayal by someone who was like a brother. The Gospel passages describe how Judas conspired with religious leaders to betray Jesus and identifies the moment when Judas kissed Jesus to identify him to the guards. Overall the document examines how betrayal often stems from those we are closest to and trust the most, using biblical examples of this deep hurt.
Wwjd with children & family
The document describes a sermon series focusing on what Jesus would do in various situations. It discusses a Bible passage where parents brought children to Jesus but the disciples rebuked them. Jesus was indignant at this and said to let the children come to him. The passage emphasizes that the Kingdom of God belongs to childlike people who humbly receive it. The document encourages parents to bring children to church and not hinder their spiritual development, and warns that a lack of proper nurturing could block children from entering God's kingdom.
Taller 806 Ética - # 9
This document provides a summary of key points about knowing God:
1. While humans can never fully comprehend God, we can know Him partially through His self-revelation. Our knowledge of God comes from both an innate, general awareness, as well as through consciously studying God's revelations.
2. God is best described as a pure, infinite Spirit with perfect attributes. He is a personal being who can relate to humans, not an impersonal force.
3. The Bible does not define God but comes closest when describing Him as a Spirit. As Spirit, God has no physical form but is intelligent and moral in nature.
4. God's being and attributes are one - He is perfectly

God exist
The document describes a conversation between a customer and a barber about the existence of God. The barber expresses doubt that God exists due to the amount of suffering in the world. Later, the customer sees a disheveled man and returns to explain to the barber that just as people who don't visit barbers may have unkempt hair, suffering exists because people do not seek help from God.
Proofs for the Existence of God Powerpoint
The document summarizes three philosophical arguments for the existence of God: the ontological, cosmological, and teleological proofs. It outlines the key premises and conclusions of each proof, and then discusses criticisms of each proof put forth by philosophers David Hume and Charles Darwin. The criticisms question whether the proofs demonstrate a logical necessity of God's existence or merely impose order through human reasoning.

We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

While reading the Old Testament, the author finds comfort knowing that even biblical heroes faced discouragement in their trials. Though some trials strengthened individuals and pointed to God, all reflected God's faithfulness as the heroes continued walking by faith. The author's hardships have made them long to trust and rest in God's plan despite unanswered questions, taking comfort that God remains present, even in darkness.

But what if we took the time to just focus on the God encounter which occurs at the end of the story? For God appears in the form of a cloud which casts a shadow. Have you ever noticed how many of the God encounters in the Bible involves a cloud that overshadows and obscures the light?

Amen: What Prayer Can Mean in a World Beyond Belief

- God's timing is not our timing. He has a greater plan that we cannot see or understand fully.
- It was not God's will to intervene. All things work together for good according to his purpose.
- Our faith was not strong enough. If we had prayed with more faith and conviction, God would have answered.
- There were unknown sins in our life that hindered God from answering. We need to repent and draw closer to God.
- God answered in a different way than we asked, through strengthening our character or deepening our faith through the trial.

The document contains comments and experiences from people who read the book "The Truth Within" or met Dadaji. Some key points:
- Many readers felt deeply moved by the book's message of finding God within through remembrance of God's name.
- Some experienced Dadaji's presence through his distinctive fragrance or in dreams, before ever meeting him in person.
- Those who met Dadaji in person were struck by the profound love and peace they felt in his presence.
- Dadaji is described as challenging traditional religious concepts and teaching that the path to truth is through remembering God within, not rigorous spiritual practices.
Self defence for faith
This document contains a collection of quotes and passages about living with faith in a world where religion is often associated with hate. It encourages the reader to start "rumors of God" through small acts of kindness and love in their community in order to prevent the idea of God from disappearing completely.
How To Stay in the LDS ( Mormon ) Church After Losing Your Faith
The document provides advice for staying in the LDS Church after experiencing a crisis of faith. It discusses the author's own faith transition and disillusionment upon learning about controversial aspects of LDS history and doctrine. It then offers reasons for potentially remaining in the Church, such as community and family ties, while acknowledging it may not be the right path for all. The author advocates an open-minded approach and focusing on the positive messages of the Church.
Tates Creek Christian Church Current September 2015
This document provides information about upcoming events and ministries at Tates Creek Christian Church. It includes articles from several of the church ministers discussing the importance of standing on the truth and authority of the Bible. The articles emphasize that the Bible contains absolute truth, even if society says otherwise, and encourage reading and studying the Bible to understand its messages. The document also lists upcoming speakers, classes, and events at the church throughout the month.
Global Thinking
Wikipedia defines "Global Thinking" as the action of considering the health of the entire planet and also to take action in our own communities and cities.
How to Be Perfect
“We cannot reach the perfection of Christ until the sheep can expose themselves to each one of the five fold. You can’t be perfected by yourself. Perfection is not reached alone, you get into trouble by yourself.”
Cocktail of questions
1. Benedict XVI responds to questions about God, Christianity, and faith. Regarding how God is described, he says God is neither male nor female but that biblical images use both masculine and feminine attributes to depict God's compassion.
2. On whether we can image God, he says we can consider the image God gave of himself in Jesus Christ, who is the perfect image of God. While this image does not allow us to represent God's infinity, it shows us God through Christ's life and teachings.
3. In response to why life should not just be easy, enjoyable and pleasant, Benedict acknowledges the temptation to seek happiness through material means but says this is ultimately empty and deceiving. True happiness

- 3. What is the one thing you feel you can’t say in church?
- 4. Hundreds responded. Everyone had a story.
- 5. The result is a movement by people everywhere who are finished with keeping their brokenness in the... ...dark.
- 6. People shared stories of CHURCH DISMAY
- 7. CHURCH DISMAY The church is supposed to be a safe place for everybody, especially people who are most broken, right?
- 12. “The church can be safe. But we can’t rely on others to make it a safe place. It begins with us.” - Anne Jackson
- 13. People shared stories of QUESTIONING GOD
- 14. QUESTIONING GOD Where is He when I need Him?
- 19. “The Bible says the only thing we have to do is take a step into the light. When we respond like that, His Word will find its way into our hearts.” - Anne Jackson
- 20. People shared stories of HIDING FROM GOD
- 21. HIDING FROM GOD When we sin, why do we often feel we need to work our way back into a relationship with God?
- 26. “It doesn’t matter how much we have sinned, or what things we keep in the dark or just how hidden we think we are from God - we may be out of His will, but we’re not out of His reach.” - Anne Jackson
