The document discusses questions about the origins and traditions of Easter. It notes that Easter was not celebrated in the early church and its name comes from the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eastre. While activities like egg decorating are harmless if secular, the Bible does not authorize creating religious holidays beyond the Sabbath. Celebrating days and times not ordained by God risks empty worship and turning from God's true commands.

Christian growth
This document discusses growing in grace through knowledge of God and Jesus Christ. It encourages adding virtues like faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, patience, godliness, kindness, and love. Faith is the first step towards God, but it must be accompanied by good deeds to be useful. These virtues will help believers not be barren or unfruitful and see far off. Without these virtues, one is blind and has forgotten their cleansing from sin. Believers are encouraged to prove they are among God's called and chosen by doing these things to never fall away.

Eunice the Mother of Timothy
The document discusses the important role of women in the Bible, specifically highlighting Eunice, the mother of Timothy. It provides several passages from the Bible that reference Eunice's sincere faith and how she passed that faith onto her son Timothy. The passages describe Eunice as a believing Jewish woman and Timothy's mother who raised him with the goal of developing his sincere faith.
The truth about giving v
This document discusses biblical principles of Christian giving and stewardship. It makes three main points:
1. All money and possessions belong to God, and we are called to be willing to give it all. Christians should seek to put God first in their budgets and give to him cheerfully.
2. Tithing 10% was the minimum standard in the Old Testament, and Christians living under the "better" new covenant should not feel they can give less.
3. We should avoid only giving God our "leftovers" and make sure he is prioritized above other expenses like housing, food, and clothes in both our budgets and actual spending. Giving should acknowledge God as the giver of
A call to praise
The Psalmist reminds believers to never quit praising God for His providence over His people throughout history and for allowing trials to prove and strengthen faith. God hears prayers, as the Psalmist declares what God has done for his soul and calls others who fear God to come and hear his testimony.
Our plea
This document makes a plea to return to the old paths of religion by restoring the church to its original New Testament condition. It argues that over time, many denominations developed with their own doctrines and practices beyond what is in the Bible. The restoration plea calls for abandoning human creeds and returning solely to the authority of Scripture. It asserts this plea is right because it adheres closely to the teachings and sufficiency of the Bible alone. The document encourages the reader to walk in the old paths by restoring the early church as established by Christ and described in the New Testament.
The process
The document discusses spiritual growth and falling away from God. It provides two biblical passages about how spiritual growth occurs naturally but imperceptibly like plants growing from seeds. It then quotes that faith does not usually disappear suddenly but rather fades slowly as cynicism and apathy take hold, similar to an ember dying in a fireplace, without a conscious decision to stop believing. People just stop caring about their faith over time.

07 July 21, 2013 1 Thessalonians 2;7 12, Follow-up & The Care Of New ChristiansFirst Baptist Church Jackson
The document summarizes Paul's teaching in 1 Thessalonians 2:7-12 about how Christians should care for and disciple new believers. Paul uses the metaphors of a mother and father to illustrate the kind of spiritual care that is needed. As a mother tenderly cares for her children, mentors should show gentleness, intimate affection, and sacrificial love towards new Christians. They should impart not just the gospel message but their own lives as well. The goal is for new believers to walk worthily before God and become disciple-makers themselves.No Longer Be Children
Paul reminds us that the danger of remaining a spiritual child results in being spiritually unstable. This lesson reminds us that there are false teachers out there and that we must be wary of false teaching.

This document provides guidance on caring for new Christians based on Paul's example in 1 Thessalonians 2:7-12. It discusses how Paul modeled being a spiritual mentor or parent to new believers, nurturing them with gentleness, intimate affection, and sacrificial love as a mother or father would. The document explains that spiritual mentors should impart the full gospel message to those they disciple and share their own lives with them because of the deep care and concern they have for their spiritual growth. Mentors are encouraged to provide the holistic spiritual care and guidance that new believers need to mature in their faith.Weekly news from WCUMC 8-7-2016

Gospel of John 15
This document contains passages from the Gospel of John that discuss Jesus' metaphor of himself as the true vine. It contains 7 "I AM" statements by Jesus where he identifies himself as the bread of life, light of the world, gate for the sheep, good shepherd, resurrection and life, way and truth and life, and true vine. The passages emphasize that those who remain in Jesus will bear much fruit but those who do not remain in him will wither and be burned.
27th December 2016 - An unchanging message for an ever changing world
The document discusses the unchanging message of the gospel for a changing world. It argues that the gospel, though frequently referenced, is misunderstood by many. The gospel refers to the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection. While many "new gospels" have emerged, they distort the truth and lead people away from salvation. The true gospel alone has the power to save and transform lives. The gospel needs no additions, distorting it is dangerous, only it can save, and only it produces real life change. Christians must uphold the integrity of the original gospel message.

East main informer, 3 12-19
The document is an article from a church bulletin that discusses growing in prayer. It notes that prayer, like relationships with friends, should deepen over time. Specifically, Christians should aim to spend more time in prayer, pray about eternally important matters rather than just immediate needs, and develop greater faith that God can do more than we ask. The article encourages taking advantage of the opportunity to communicate with God regularly through prayer in order to feel closer to Him.

This document analyzes 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, which discusses Christians acting as "babies" rather than being "spiritual." It summarizes that:
1) Some Christians were acting as "babies" by following certain leaders instead of God, showing a lack of spiritual discernment.
2) These Christians could only handle "milk" (basic teachings) rather than "meat" (deeper teachings), and were not able to understand complex doctrines.
3) There was "envying, strife, and divisions" among these Christians, showing they were acting out of carnal/fleshly motives rather than being spiritual.
The conclusion encourages Christians to gain spiritual

26th March 2017 - What is False Doctrine
False doctrine refers to any teachings that contradict or add to the doctrines found in the Bible. Some examples of false doctrines include denying hell and claiming there are many paths to God besides Jesus Christ. False teachers have existed since the early church and try to appear righteous while secretly promoting doctrines opposed to the Bible. As Christians, we must make it our habit to study the Scriptures daily so we are not deceived by smooth talkers promoting false doctrines for their own gain.
1st january 2015 an unchanging message for an ever changing world
The document discusses the unchanging message of the gospel for a changing world. It summarizes that the gospel refers to the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection. While many claim to know the gospel, few truly understand its meaning and implications.

It outlines four principles from Galatians 1 - that the gospel needs no additions, distorting the gospel is serious, only the gospel saves, and only the gospel produces real life change. The unchanging message as Christians is to uphold the true gospel.
Discipleship's Design part 3 of Marching Orders

09 September 16, 2012 Matthew 6;1 18 Right Motives
This document provides an overview and analysis of Jesus' teachings on prayer and motives in Matthew 6:1-18. It discusses three key points:
1) Jesus warns against praying or giving to be seen by others, emphasizing the importance of right motives in religious acts.
2) Jesus cautions against "babbling" prayers with empty words or informing God of unnecessary details, as the Father already knows our needs.
3) Jesus provides the Lord's Prayer as a model, focusing first on God and His purposes before personal requests, and addressing God as our loving Father in Heaven.
OC'Dec.'15
The birth of Jesus Christ is considered the greatest miracle of all time according to the document. It was an unequaled event in human history as no magician or scientist has ever been able to create or manipulate human birth. Additionally, many unparalleled wonders occurred during Jesus's birth, such as angels announcing his arrival to shepherds and a special star that led the wise men. Due to Jesus being born of the Holy Spirit without a human father, his bloodline was heavenly which allowed him to save humanity from sin. The incarnation of God in human form through Jesus's birth remains a profound mystery that cannot be explained through ordinary human means.
06 June 9, 2013, Created For Good Works, Ephesians 2:1-10
This document contains the summary of a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on Ephesians 2:1-10. The sermon was divided into three parts:
1) What we were - Lost sinners are spiritually dead, enslaved by the world and Satan.
2) What God did - God, in His mercy and love, saved us through Christ despite our sinful state. He gave us spiritual life, raised us to sit with Him.
3) What we are now - As God's workmanship created for good works, believers now live empowered to do the deeds prepared by God. Good works prove the genuineness of one's faith and bring God

If
This document outlines a chain of events, suggesting that if Joseph had not been sold into slavery in Egypt, he would not have risen to power and saved his family and others from famine, his family may have perished, and therefore Jesus may not have been born to die on the cross and save humanity from sin.

More from James Pharr
The conversion of a faker
The document is a sermon outline about a faker who was converted but later failed before being restored according to passages from Acts 8:5-24. The outline discusses how the faker was initially converted but later failed in his faith before being restored through the help of others.
If
This document outlines a chain of events, suggesting that if Joseph had not been sold into slavery in Egypt, he would not have risen to power and saved his family and others from famine, his family may have perished, and therefore Jesus may not have been born to die on the cross and save humanity from sin.
Falling through the cracks
The document discusses how even in the early church under outstanding leadership, some people fell through the cracks, which caused discord. It references Bible verses about not murmuring. While cracks existed, the early church leadership asked the congregation for help. The lessons are to avoid murmuring and get more involved in church work to help prevent people from falling through cracks.
We ought to obey god rather than men
The document contains two biblical passages. Romans 13 outlines how Christians should submit to governing authorities as they are established by God. Acts 5 describes how the apostles continued preaching and healing despite being imprisoned, and how Gamaliel counsels the Jewish leaders to leave the apostles alone rather than fight against God's work.
How to study your bible
The document provides guidance on how to study the Bible through examining the meaning and significance of passages. It discusses understanding the original author's intended meaning by surveying the historical background, context, grammar, and definitions of words. The goal is to preserve the integrity of the meaning while understanding contemporary significance. Three progressive objectives of exposition, interpretation and application are outlined to achieve understanding, relevance and life application from Bible study.
Do's and don'ts for dealing with the world
This document provides guidance on how Christians should interact with the world. It lists both "do's" and "don'ts," advising that one shouldn't expect fairness from or compromise with the world. However, one should stay close to God as their source of strength, remember that God is in control, and believe that God answers prayers.
Peter's selfless defense
Peter defended himself before the council regarding healing a man in the name of Jesus. In his defense, Peter told the council that they had crucified Jesus, but God had raised him from the dead, as demonstrated by Jesus healing the man standing before them. Unable to deny their role in Jesus' death or the man's healing, the council could not refute that God had raised Jesus, resulting in their silence.
What to do when satan attacks
This document provides advice on dealing with Satan's attacks. It suggests to not be surprised by attacks from Satan, to not give up when facing opposition from Satan, and to avoid falling for Satan's traps and deceptions. The document outlines three main points: don't be surprised by attacks, don't give up when facing opposition, and don't fall for Satan's traps.
The healing of a beggar
Peter and John were going to the temple when they came upon a beggar who had been lame from birth. The beggar asked them for money, and Peter said that he had no silver or gold but would give him what he had, which was healing in the name of Jesus Christ. Peter helped the man stand up, and immediately the man's feet and ankles were healed. He then entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
In his name
The sermon discusses Peter's speech at the temple where he heals a crippled beggar. Peter refuses recognition for the healing and instead reviews what happened. He then declares that through the resurrection of Jesus, the beggar was healed in His name. Peter extends reassurance to the people and requires repentance, promising restoration. He foretells of Jesus as the redeemer and says revelation was interrupted by the people's disbelief.
A church everyone should want to be a member of
This document describes the ideal characteristics of a church that everyone should want to be a member of based on Acts 2:42-47. The church worshiped together, showed reverence for God, shared possessions unselfishly, experienced joy, and actively evangelized to new people.
The beginning of gospel preaching in its fullness
The Central Union Church of Christ held a sermon on April 12 about the beginning of gospel preaching in its fullness based on Acts 2:14-36. The sermon discussed the prophecy of Joel, the person of Jesus Christ, prophecies of David, the profession of the apostles, the presence of the Holy Spirit, and proof from the scriptures.
How three thousand were saved
The sermon focused on how three thousand people were saved according to Acts 2:37-41. It discussed how they believed in Christ, obeyed Christ by being baptized, and were added to Christ's church.
Beginning at jerusalem
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.
Waiting in jerusalem
The Central Union Church of Christ document discusses how after Jesus' ascension, the disciples waited in Jerusalem with other believers. They strengthened relationships, prayed and praised God together, and stayed united. When Judas' position became vacant, they selected Matthias as a replacement according to the scriptures, to keep the number of disciples at twelve. The document encourages Christians to wait for Jesus together in worship and unity, and to learn from Judas' example.
The book of life
The document discusses the biblical concept of the Book of Life, which is described as the registry of those who are saved and whose names are written in heaven. The Book of Life contains a precise list of the righteous and is referenced in passages about the final judgment, where those not found written in the book will be condemned to the lake of fire. The document encourages readers to make sure their own names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life in order to gain entrance into heaven.
Jesus and his last day on earth
The document summarizes chapter 1 verses 1-11 of the book of Acts. It discusses Jesus reviewing his time on Earth with the apostles after his resurrection and promising them the coming of the Holy Spirit and establishment of his kingdom. Jesus promises the apostles that the kingdom will be universal, not confined to Israel. He then ascends to heaven, with the apostles receiving two confirmations that Jesus completed his work and teachings about the kingdom.
The greatest sequel ever written
The document discusses how the Book of Acts is the greatest sequel ever written. It was written by Luke, a physician, as a follow up to his gospel. Luke wrote both works addressed to Theophilus, a patron, in order to provide an accurate and orderly account of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and the early Christian church. The purpose was to give Theophilus certainty about the teachings he had received.
Who is number one
This document from the Central Union church of Christ discusses putting God first in one's life and priorities. It notes that knowing who or what is number one provides stability according to scripture. The document reviews what the world and the will of God say about determining priorities. It emphasizes seeking God's kingdom and will above all else, and loving God with all your heart as the greatest commandment according to Jesus. The overall message is about ensuring God is the number one priority and influence in one's life.
Tell the good news
The document discusses the importance of evangelism and sharing one's faith according to several Bible passages. It notes that over 100,000 people die every day without Christ and cites verses showing Jesus' command to spread the gospel message to all nations. The document expresses an sense of obligation and reward for fulfilling the Great Commission through saving others, as one must not come to Heaven alone but must help others find salvation as well.

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

Questions easter
- 5. Easter? The New Testament gives no instructions. It was not celebrated as a holy day in the first century church.
- 6. Where does the word “Easter” come from?
- 7. Eastre
- 10. Lent
- 13. Is it wrong to celebrate Easter?
- 14. • The hiding of eggs, bunny, etc. are harmless if used in a nonreligious way. • The creation of holy days are not authorized in God’s word. • God has appointed the Lord’s Day, the first day of every week. If other days were needed or were spiritually advantageous, God would have told us.
- 15. Matthew 15:7-9 (KJV) Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
- 16. Galatians 4:8-11 (KJV) Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
