Gods attributes sufficiency
The document discusses several attributes of God, including that:
1) God is self-sufficient and does not depend on anything outside of himself. He created the world out of his own pleasure and independence, not out of necessity.
2) As the creator, God is responsible for and reveals himself through his creation, yet he is also independent of his creation and needs nothing from it.
3) In contrast, humanity and creation are completely dependent on God for their existence, purpose, and functioning. People cannot escape God's authority as their creator and reference point.
7 things that give us joy - Philippians part 2

The New Me!
Tomorrow we are starting a new series of study:
“The New Man” is a seminar that will focus on the spirit of man, its soul and its body.
We will learn the properties of each one of these three parts of man.
Our spirit is called to be the ruling part of us, actually, our spirit is the main part of our being, and is the place where the spirit of God dwells in.
We meet in Room #3 at CTF Toronto Wednesdays from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. I invite you to come and participate with us in this discovery of how to let our spirit become the ruler of our life.
Understanding the Holy Trinity
The document discusses the Holy Trinity - that God exists as three persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) in one Godhead. It provides several key points:
1) The three persons are each fully God. Scripture presents the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as divine.
2) There is one God, not three. The persons are distinct yet equal, sharing the same essence, will, and attributes.
3) The doctrine is summarized as: God is three persons; each person is fully God; none is inferior; they are not three gods but one God.
God's plan of salvation!
The document outlines God's plan of salvation according to scripture as involving five steps: 1) Hearing the word of God, 2) Believing in Jesus, 3) Repenting of sins, 4) Confessing faith in Jesus, and 5) Being baptized for the remission of sins. It emphasizes that while people have come up with many plans of salvation, there is only one plan given by God in the Bible. It encourages examining whether one has truly obeyed God's biblical plan of salvation or been deceived by human-made plans.
The greatest commandment
When questioned by Pharisees about the greatest commandment, Jesus responds that the greatest is to love God with all one's heart, soul, and mind. The second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus says that following these two commandments fulfills the whole of Jewish law and prophecy. Loving God means making him the focus of one's entire being. Loving neighbors requires a supernatural ability to feel what others feel and put their needs first, which can only come through living according to the Spirit rather than human nature.
The Glory of the Cross!
The document discusses the glory of the cross from a sermon. It covers three main points: (1) The cross represents man's sins that Jesus died for. (2) The cross demonstrates God's great love for humanity in that he was willing to sacrifice his son. (3) The cross provides forgiveness from God that humanity desperately needs, as salvation cannot be achieved through any other means. The cross is the central focal point of God's redemptive plan and the only means by which people can be reconciled to God.
God's faithfulness
This document discusses the meaning and importance of God's faithfulness. It begins by asking the reader if they are faithful to God, their family, others, their ministry, and church. It then provides several Bible verses demonstrating that God is faithful, including that He will not abandon His people. The document argues that God is faithful to maintain His glory, truthfulness, and reputation. It explains that God faithfully keeps His covenants and shows mercy to those who love and obey Him. In conclusion, it encourages readers to commit to being faithful in all things, with the promise that if they do, God will bless them as He promised He would bless the Israelites.

Storms Of Life
The document discusses how storms in life can help people grow spiritually. It notes that biblical figures like Job only truly learned about God after enduring hardships.

Rise and shine - Ephesians 5:8-14
Before Christ came into our lives, we were children of darkness. But even as God is light, and Christ is the light of the world, so also are we are children of light.

Upside Down Living: Blessed are those who mourn
This is the second sermon in the Upside-Down Living series in which we look at Jesus' second beatitude, Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. We will explore the ways in which God comforts us, both during times of profound loss and times of conviction over personal and shared sin. We will also look at the way that God uses our fellow believers to comfort us in these same areas. The key challenge is to make ourselves available to God so that we can become a source of comfort to others.

It emphasizes that Christians must know their strength comes from God, feel the need to be equipped with God's armor each day, and take action by putting on the full armor of God, which includes truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and God's word. Taking on the full armor enables believers to withstand attacks from the devil and remain standing in their faith.
The church at laodicea
The document summarizes the message to the church in Laodicea from Revelation 3. It describes the church as lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, and facing condemnation from Christ for their apathy.

Jesus: The Way, The Truth, The Life
Just a reminder that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life; just as he’d been teaching through out the gospel of John.
Brokenness Journey
Brokenness is realizing the corruption of our natural selves and reliance on God. It is often triggered by difficult circumstances that break down our pride and self-sufficiency. Brokenness is a journey every believer must undertake, and it can be a breakthrough with a changed life. Though the pain depends on our response, God dwells with and revives the humble and contrite. True unity in the church comprises broken people committed to this process.
God's way of salvation
This document discusses God's way of salvation according to the Bible. It outlines the five steps as: 1) Hearing the Word, 2) Believing the message, 3) Having an attitude of repentance, 4) Confessing surrender, and 5) Baptism in water.

The Temple Part 7: Herod's Temple
Herod the Great undertook an ambitious project to expand and renovate the Second Temple in Jerusalem. He wanted to correct imperfections and make the Temple as complete as possible. However, Jesus later prophesied that not one stone of the Temple would be left upon another. The Temple was an important symbol, but Jesus taught that his followers themselves are God's true temple as the cornerstone. The Temple's destruction in 70 AD by the Romans fulfilled Jesus' prophecy.
Be Useful Vessels
“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.
Faith During Difficult Times
The document discusses having faith during difficult times based on the biblical story of Jesus calming the storm. It notes that storms can come unexpectedly in life, like problems rising up suddenly. The disciples were afraid during the storm in the story, but Jesus remained calm and asleep, depicting how Christians should react to problems - making efforts to solve them but also praying and having faith that God is in control. Having faith means being sure of what we hope for even if we can't see it and knowing that no storm is too strong for God to handle. The document encourages having faith like Jesus during life's storms rather than giving in to fear.
Stewardship In A Changing World
The document discusses the need for the Seventh-day Adventist Church to adapt its approach to stewardship and ministry to remain relevant in a changing world. It notes that the church's focus needs to shift from money and programs to developing disciples of Jesus Christ. The church also needs more flexible systems to connect with people. The conclusion emphasizes that stewardship should be viewed as a spiritual way of life that affirms God and is consistent with the church's mission to tell the world about Jesus. Initiatives are proposed to develop stewardship education curriculum and resources for various groups.

Repentance In Christian Conversion
Repentance In Christian Conversion
Repentance is an act by which we realise we have offended an Holy and righteous God; this act is characterised by a deliberate turn away from the sinful act(s) in question, begging for God’s forgiveness and turning to him and his ways. Repentance is also that window that opens for us to see what we are called to; this being that, we are to represent God’s living and working in human life; how the effects of sin’s offensive attack on God defeats this purpose and how it can be remedied by means of the lordship of God’s Spirit over man’s spirit, soul and body.
The Doctrine of Man
The document discusses the doctrine of man, covering three topics: the origin of man as created beings made in God's image; the nature of man as consisting of body, soul and spirit; and the immortality of man with the soul-spirit living eternally in heaven or hell.

Discussion guide week 9 - Psalm 134
The end and purpose of the journey of worship is seen in this short Psalm - bless the Lord. Psalm 134 will also contrast and compare with the following Psalm that expands on the same phrases and ideas Blessing the Lord and being blessed in the pithy Psalm 134 are expanded on in the 7 fold larger Psalm 135.
While Psalm 134 might be the end of the journey of worship, Psalm 135 is like a beginning of a journey. For others it is a beginning. It was a significant Psalm for David Livingstone, missionary to Africa for 32 years. Many of the ideas of 135 will also carry over into Psalm 136 which will be a mashup of parts of 134 with new ideas and sprinkled generously with praise.

Luke 18.15 30
Jesus taught that entering God's kingdom requires desiring it above all else and being willing to endure great difficulties, such as giving up all of one's possessions and loved ones. Those who make these sacrifices will receive eternal life as the ultimate reward.
The servant leader
Chris Richards spoke to us from Mark 10:32-52, "The Servant Leader" as we continue our "Meeting Jesus" series.
Death and Glory
Pete Curran spoke to us from John 11:17-46, "Death and Glory", continuing our series in John's Gospel
Healing on the wrong day
This document summarizes a passage from the book of John describing Jesus healing a man on the Sabbath. It describes how Jesus heals a man who had been ill for 38 years at the pool of Bethesda. Religious leaders criticize Jesus for violating the Sabbath by commanding the man to carry his mat. The document contrasts the "letter of the law" approach of the religious leaders with Jesus' embodiment of the "spirit of the law" in showing compassion.
A meaningful miracle
At a wedding in Cana, Galilee, Jesus performs his first miracle when called upon by his mother Mary. The wedding hosts had run out of wine for their guests. Jesus instructs the servants to fill large stone jars with water, and then turns the water into wine. The master of ceremonies is surprised by the high quality of the wine, not realizing it was Jesus who provided it. This miracle revealed Jesus' divine glory and his disciples put their faith in him.
John 1v16 living generousley
The document references John 1:16 which discusses how Jesus Christ, who preceded Moses, provided grace upon grace through his fullness. It notes how Jesus provides endless giving grace according to this verse. It also briefly mentions how the early church practiced generosity, how Methodists sing about generosity, and how emperors railed against generosity.
Christmas 2019 family presentation
This document lists several items that will be part of a family carol service for 2019, including astronomical bodies like the universe, moon, sun and Proxima Centauri as well as religious symbols like the cross and empty tomb and a children's character Postman Pat.
Joseph
John White continues our Advent and Christmas series talking about "Joseph & the Saviour of his people", Matthew 1:18-25.
Topsy Turvey Kingdom
The document discusses lessons that can be learned from Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and the Magi in the Christmas story. It says that Mary teaches that God values the young and women, and can handle questions. Joseph teaches that God values ordinary people and knows faith is difficult. The shepherds teach not to let theology blind us to God's surprises and it takes faith to recognize the king. The Magi teach that the Kingdom is for everyone everywhere and God is greater than expected. The Kingdom of Heaven is described as surprising, nonsensical, and where normal expectations are turned upside down.
Matt. 24'44 be prepared!
Jesus teaches that his return will be like an unexpected event that everyone should be prepared for at all times through faithful service, witnessing to others, and living holy lives. Though the timing is unknown, Christians must persevere and be ready for Christ's glorious and visible return while continuing their witness and service to others.
Acts 28 11 31 - the lord's prisoner
Nigel White joined us to finish our series "Paul: The Road to Rome" as he arrives at his destination. He spoke from Acts 28:11-31, "Good News in the heart of the Empire"
Acts 27 God is in control
The document discusses maintaining faith in God's control during difficult times by using wisdom, taking practical steps to care for oneself, focusing on positives, and not being surprised by worsening situations, as one can find peace through keeping faith that Christ is present even in storms.
Father & Son Offering
Jack Sykes spoke on Genesis 22:1-19, "Father and Son Offering", continuing our series "Abraham - A Sacred Journey".
Ps 139 livavibility sunday 1 9-19
We took a break from our series on Abraham to celebrate Ability Sunday (a week early!) - it's all about inclusion, especially for those in our community with disabilities. Doug Preston spoke from Psalm 139
Abram sacred journey
Doug Preston started off a new series on the life of Abraham, "A Sacred Journey" with Genesis 12:1-9, "The Call".
The covenant
God made a covenant with Abram, promising that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand. Although Abram had no children at the time, he believed God's promise. God credited Abram's faith as righteousness, expressing his grace rather than Abram's worthiness. The covenant established Abram's right standing with God through faith, foreshadowing the new covenant established by Jesus's blood which invites people to enter into relationship with God by trusting in his promises.
Genesis 16
Carrying on with "Abraham - A Sacred Journey", Chris Richards spoke to us from Genesis 16, " Helping God with his promises".
The Riot
Roberto Troiolo from the Gideons joined us to share about their work and from Acts 19:23-41, "How to cause a riot", continuing our series on "Paul: a man with a mission".
In the name of jesus
As we continue to look at the life of Paul, "A man with a mission", Tony Finch spoke to us from Acts 19:1-22, "In the Name of Jesus".
Acts 16 v 30

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...
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

Psalm 137
- 1. Psalm 137 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept as we remembered Zion.
- 2. Psalm 137 • Mourning their captivity and their treatment. • Remembering Zion with affection. • Minds full of vengeance.
- 3. • It was not so much ‘How can we sing when we are in so much sorrow’ but ‘It is the Lord’s song – we dare not sing it among idolaters.’ Matthew Henry Joyful songs would imply forgetfulness of their desolate homes and destroyed church.
- 4. • God walked with Adam and Eve in the cool of the evening. • The Tabernacle signified the presence of God. • The Temple – the place where God dwelt. • Then Jesus came and dwelt with us! • Acts 17:24
- 5. • Peter in prison – Jesus was there. • Paul and Silas in prison – Jesus was there. • Richard Wurmbrand in prison – Jesus was there. • A Christian can never be in solitary confinement!
- 6. Remember - Forget • Forgetting what is behind. Philippians 3:13 • Forget the former things. Isaiah 43:18 • We tend to remember the things we should forget and forget the things that we should remember.
- 7. Remember • Remember the things he has done. 1Chronicles 16:12 • I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes I will remember your miracles of long ago. Psalm 77:11 • Remember the Lord’s death until he comes.
- 8. Reasons to remember. • Spiritual Uplift. • Faith boost. • Thankful Spirit. • A better perspective – God is still on the throne.
- 9. Other reasons to remember? • The mess that you are in may be the result of sin or rebellion. • Or a gradual drifting away. • Take me back!
- 10. Psalm 137: 7-9 • Vengeance is mine, says the Lord. • It is mine to avenge, I will repay, says the Lord. Romans 12: 19
- 11. Conclusion/Summary • Remember and rejoice. • Remember and be restored. • Remember and return. • Remember and repent. • Remember and let Him deal with those who harm you.
- 12. •Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his Holy Name. •He has done great things.
