____________________________________________________________________
Are You Ready to CRUSH IT? You can do so with Christianity!
How can you Crush this journey called "Life" if Heaven is never realized?
How does "no Heaven" = Victory? It's doesn't! Losing team, right? Right!
Is it true only so-called "Good" people make it to Heaven?
Can You know for sure you will make it to Heaven? You can Know!
In this course, I’m going to take you step-by-step through a success formula which will not leave you the same person. Nor will it leave you standing on the outside of Heaven’s gates when this thing is all said and done.
No my friend! This course is going to show you the narrow way to life. Life without discovering life is not success, is it? By no means!
So, the first step: We’re going to talk about “having ears to hear.” This is necessary if you are going to make a right assessment regarding who you are, why you are here and where you are going. The only personal transformation which will matter in the end is a new creation! I’m going to show you how to get there and I’m confident you will have the ears to hear as we go over, together—this all important information for those who have ears to hear.
The second step involves changing your mind. Any person who is truly wise understands from where this wisdom comes. They adjust their thinking in order to be aligned with this wisdom. In step 2, let’s celebrate wisdom together as I encourage you to change your mind regarding its important aspects.
Once we get into Step 3, it will be time to get serious about your soul to make sure you are not gambling with it. Did you ever here, “craps!” Well, if you have or haven’t, you don’t want to come up short and bust out when it comes to your soul. You will be encouraged in this step to make the right decision—regarding your soul—in this formula of success.
Step 4 brings you to a place of reality-checking. We look over what is required to have success in the way of transformation and heaven. Taking a leap of blind faith isn’t required when you have good, solid evidence and reasons to take an active step of trust. You do it every day and in this step, you will be encouraged as I get into the trenches with you so you can surface, shining like gold!
Finally in Step 5, we’re going to make sure you proceed in a manner which will guarantee your success. Success involves victory and having a game plan. This step will give you that game plan.

Sermon 2016 # 1 church slides the gospel and salvation the story of zacch...
This document provides a summary and analysis of the biblical story of Zacchaeus found in Luke 19:1-10. It describes how Jesus sought out Zacchaeus, a wealthy tax collector, and dined at his home, sparking Zacchaeus' repentance and restoration efforts. The document argues that salvation comes through God's sovereign work, not human effort alone, and must be evidenced by repentance and a changed life, not just words. It also distinguishes between a "gospel of salvation" focused just on the soul, and the "gospel of the kingdom" which impacts all of society.
063.one necessary thing we may be missing in prayer
This document discusses two parables from Luke that teach about the importance of persistent prayer. The parable of the bad friend shows that God is more willing to answer prayers than an unwilling friend, and calls believers to ask, seek, and knock. The parable of the unjust judge illustrates that believers should always pray and not lose heart, as God will surely answer His elect who cry out to Him day and night. The document emphasizes that bold persistence in prayer should be based on knowing God's willingness to answer and avenge, though His timing may be long, and that righteous prayer within God's will is powerful.
Daniel #3 You become what you worship - 28 October 2018 - Clayton Nel
The document discusses the themes of worship, risk, and obedience. It references biblical stories of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refusing to worship an idol and facing risk, as well as passages about becoming like what you worship. The document argues that while the enemy's tactics remain the same, using deception to get people to deny God, Christians should continue worshipping only God and honoring authority, even at risk to themselves.
ldsgdot16
This document provides a summary of lessons from Numbers 22-24 and 31 about Balaam. It discusses how Balaam, a prophet, was initially unwilling to curse the Israelites despite rewards offered by King Balak. However, Balaam eventually gave in to worldly desires and led Israelites into idolatry and immorality. The key lessons are that we must only speak what God commands and avoid leaving "the door open" to temptation. We should follow Balaam's early example of refusing to go against God's word for any rewards.

YEAR END 2015 - GROWING ROOTS DOWNWARD - PTR JOVEN SORO-10AM MORNING SERVICEFaithworks Christian Church
The document discusses the importance of Christians growing deep roots in Christ by listening to his voice, learning his principles, and living out his practices. It says this allows a person's faith to grow strong and their life to overflow with thankfulness. It also discusses the importance of bearing fruit, like the fruit of the spirit and fruit of winning souls. Bearing fruit glorifies God, marks a true disciple, and is essential to receiving answered prayers. The document warns of consequences for not bearing fruit but promises a reward for the faithful.05-12-19, Two Paths Story
This document is a sermon from First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on the topic of the two paths in life - the narrow path that leads to life or the broad path that leads to destruction. It discusses biblical passages around sin, repentance, salvation through Jesus, and being born again by the spirit. It encourages examining one's own path and considering turning to the narrow one that leads to eternal life through confessing with one's mouth and believing in one's heart that God raised Jesus from the dead.
Zaccaeus' Life Changing Event
Jesus tells a rich ruler that to inherit eternal life he must sell all his possessions and give the money to the poor. When the ruler becomes sorrowful because he is wealthy, Jesus says it is difficult for rich people to enter the kingdom of God, like trying to fit a camel through the eye of a needle. Those who hear this ask who can be saved, and Jesus responds that with God all things are possible.

Feb 4-10-07 Do We Need More Proof
In 2007 the congregation read through "The Message" New Testament by Eugene Peterson. This lesson is taken from the assigned reading from Feb 4-10
Overcoming the world
The document discusses three major ways Christians can overcome the world: prayer, faith, and developing Christ-like character. It provides biblical examples for each: prayer involves asking God for help and trusting his response; faith means believing God's promises without doubting; and character focuses on living with love, righteousness, holiness and seeking God above all else. The overall message is that through relying on God through prayer and having faith in him, and striving to become more like Christ in character, believers can overcome sinful desires and withstand worldly influences.
Let Marriage Be Held in Honor
God provided the marriage relationship as the proper (and only) outlet for sexual pleasure. Those who indulge their sexual desires outside of marriage (fornicators and adulterers) will be judged by God. Instruction for overcoming sexual temptations can be found in examining Potiphar’s wife and Joseph.
How can I resist evil?
The document discusses resisting evil and the devil based on passages from the Bible. It describes the devil as a deceiver who tempts humans to sin and doubts God. The devil's goal is to steal, kill and destroy. However, Christians have power over the devil through faith in God and by putting on spiritual armor like truth, righteousness, salvation and prayer. Believers can stand against the devil and attack his strongholds through prayer and godly action.
God's one thing
The passage describes three parables told by Jesus about finding value in the lost. The first parable is about a younger son who asks his father for his inheritance and leaves for a distant land, wasting his wealth. When a famine comes, he must work feeding pigs and realizes his father's workers have more than he. He decides to return home and ask to be a servant. Seeing him return, his father embraces him and celebrates his return. The older son is unhappy with the celebration. The father explains to the older son that they must celebrate the return of their brother who was lost and is now found.
Welcome To The Chapel

The sermon emphasizes that God rescues people from sin and brings them into his kingdom through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross.

Jesus says people of little faith worry, but people should seek God's kingdom and righteousness first and allow God to provide what is needed for each day, without worrying about the future. The document emphasizes worrying about the essence of life, which is fulfilling one's purpose, rather than just daily necessities.

The overall message is that with God there are no real delays, as he uses delays in our lives to arrange divine appointments, prepare our character, and fulfill his timetable.
Henyo Ka Ba
This document discusses wisdom and its relationship to living an abundant life through several examples from the Bible. It describes how Solomon was given great wisdom by God but did not fully follow God's ways as he grew older.

The document emphasizes that having wisdom is not enough - one must use wisdom properly and follow God fully to live abundantly.

Five Temptations
The document discusses five temptations that can challenge marriage: 1) Focusing on feelings of love over the power of love. 2) Focusing on getting more from your spouse rather than giving to them. 3) Focusing only on your own feelings rather than your spouse's feelings. 4) Focusing on your spouse's problems rather than finding mutual solutions. 5) Focusing only on actions to express love rather than both words and actions. It provides counter decisions to help overcome each temptation by focusing on things like power of love, giving to your spouse, their feelings first, mutual solutions, and expressing love through words and actions.
Intro to theology (ses 9)
The document discusses whether God still speaks directly to people today through prophets, dreams, visions, and other means. It outlines three main views: Continuationism holds that God continues to speak directly; Hard Cessationism believes God's direct speaking ended with the apostles; Soft Cessationism/Continuationism believes God could speak directly but advocates great caution in accepting claims of direct revelation. The document explores arguments for and against each view around the ongoing gifts of prophecy, tongues, and miracles.
Extreme level up sermon 5 (english)
A man approaches Jesus in a crowd and asks him to heal his son, who suffers from seizures. The man says he brought his son to Jesus' disciples previously but they were unable to heal him. Jesus then heals the boy and rebukes the demon causing the seizures. Later, the disciples ask Jesus privately why they could not heal the boy previously. Jesus tells them it was because they had little faith, but that even a small amount of faith can achieve great things.

Times Of Satans Attack
The document discusses five seasons of temptation that Satan uses to attack people:
1. During enrollment, when one is about to start something great for God. Satan tempted Jesus in the desert after he began his ministry.
2. During classes, when one has great needs. Satan tempted Jesus by suggesting he turn stone to bread while hungry after 40 days in the desert.
3. During exams, when one is faced with success or failure. Satan tempted Jesus by offering him authority over all the kingdoms of the world if he worshipped Satan instead of God.
4. During extra-curricular activities, when one has a need for recognition or acceptance. Satan tempted Jesus to throw himself from the highest point of the
Dream Believe Succeed Sermon 1
The document describes Joseph's dreams from Genesis 37:2-11, in which he dreamed that his sheaf of grain rose and stood upright while his brothers' sheaves bowed down to his. His brothers were jealous of Joseph and hated him for his dreams. It also discusses different types of dreamers, including daydreamers, dreamers, and dream receivers, who are often misunderstood but used by God to fulfill his purposes, as was the case with Joseph.
Truth Of God
God is the absolute truth. His word revealed in scripture is completely true and reliable. All of God's works from creation to salvation are perfectly true. We should humbly submit our lives to the truth of God found in the Bible and worship Him alone as the one true God.
Prepare to Preach (Ssssion 3)
This document outlines session three of a Bible study course. It discusses the importance of exposition, which involves theological thinking to understand scripture in context. Exposition is important but often skipped over in favor of just exegesis. The document provides guidelines for how to conduct exposition by holding a principalizing filter, examining cross references, and analyzing the passage in light of progressive revelation. It includes examples of exegesis and exposition of 1 Timothy 6:3-10. Participants are instructed to practice exposition on their own passages.
Romans outline 3 3 07 04 10
The Jews had objections to Paul's teachings about salvation:
1) Paul was said to twist scriptures and contradict the idea that salvation was based on Jewish heritage and tradition.
2) When Paul said being Jewish meant nothing for salvation, the Jews questioned if this meant God's promises to them were cancelled.
3) Some Jews argued that if their unbelief brought God glory, then their sin also glorified God and they should not be punished.
Paul responded that God's promises stand regardless of belief, that sin does not glorify God, and salvation does not give freedom to sin without judgment. God will judge all rightly based on righteousness, not excuses for sin.
Bibliology and Hermeneutics (Session 6)
The document discusses the concept of inspiration and how it relates to the creation of the Bible. It defines inspiration as God guiding the biblical writers and giving them his words while fully utilizing their human abilities. It presents various theories of inspiration ranging from the Bible being entirely man-made to entirely dictated by God. However, it argues that the correct view is the verbal plenary theory, that the Bible is both 100% divine in origin and 100% human in authorship, with God inspiring the writers without error. The document also warns against an approach called "Biblical Docetism" that neglects the human elements and personalities of the biblical authors.
Baptism: Principles and Practices
The document is a study on baptism that discusses its meaning and importance. It provides several key points:
1) Baptism is a participation in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. It signifies the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
2) Baptism is essential to the Christian faith, as shown in passages like Ephesians 4:4-6 that list "one baptism" as a core doctrine.
3) Faith is also essential, as believers are "buried and raised with Christ" through baptism by faith in God's power.
4) The first converts felt gladness and joy after being baptized, as it was an appeal to God

The passage describes Moses' objections to God's call for him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses raises five objections: (1) that he is nothing and unqualified, but God promises to be with him; (2) that he does not know what to say, but God reveals his name as "I AM"; (3) that the Israelites will not believe him, but God provides signs; (4) that he is uneloquent, but God says he created Moses' mouth; (5) that he does not want to go, but God says he will send Aaron to help.

1) The document summarizes a sermon given on Genesis 22:1-14, which recounts God testing Abraham by commanding him to sacrifice his son Isaac.
2) The sermon argues that this story foreshadows God sacrificing his son Jesus, and that Abraham believed God could resurrect Isaac, showing he had faith in the gospel.
3) It notes similarities between this story and Jesus' death and resurrection prophesied in the Old Testament, and says Abraham's obedience through faith made it possible for God to fulfill his promises.

Making Of A Mighty Man Of God
The Making of a Mighty Man/Woman of GOD
By David Walters
http://internetpreachersforchrist.blogspot.com/2009/04/making-of-mighty-man-of-god.html
11 November 22, 2015, Genesis 22;1-14, The Faith Test
God tests Abraham's faith by commanding him to sacrifice his son Isaac on Mount Moriah. Abraham takes Isaac and wood for the burnt offering and travels to the appointed place. When Isaac questions the lack of animal for sacrifice, Abraham responds with faith that God will provide. At the mountain, Abraham binds Isaac and places him on an altar but an angel stops Abraham before he sacrifices Isaac. Looking up, Abraham sees a ram caught in nearby bushes that God has provided as the sacrifice instead of Isaac. Abraham names the place Jehovah-Jireh, meaning "the Lord will provide." The story is a foreshadowing of God providing his own son Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice.

INTENSE 1 - INTENSE ENGAGEMENT - PTRA LUCY BANAL - 630 PM EVENING SERVICEFaithworks Christian Church
This document discusses the need for intense engagement in evangelism. It notes that billions are dying without Christ and churches may cease to exist unless more is done to meet this need. However, the need is not being met due to a lack of concern, knowledge, courage, faith and focus among Christians. The document urges Christians to fulfill the Great Commission by making disciples, to love others by offering salvation, and to have the zeal of the early church. It argues intense engagement is needed because of God's command, to show love for others, and because of the joy in saving souls and the terror of judgment day. The conclusion calls Christians to restore the church's original mission of intense engagement in God's vineyard.Power yougod group
The document summarizes Moses' doubts and fears about being called by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. It discusses Moses questioning why God chose him, what name he should use for God, and whether the Israelites would believe him. Each time, God reassures Moses that He will be with Moses and empower him to complete the task. The key messages are that God can use anyone regardless of their abilities, He will provide what is needed, and His power is what matters most.

2011.05.08 the honor of motherhood
The document discusses the honor and importance of motherhood by referencing several Bible passages. It describes how Eve was created from Adam's rib to be his companion, a mother's potential for powerful influence through teaching her children about God from a young age, and that a mother's greatest gift is raising children to obey their parents as commanded by God. The document portrays motherhood as being both honorable and wonderful by referencing how mothers care for their children with compassion, just as God cares for His people.
Jesus was-100-man
Jesus was both fully God and fully man. As a man, he had a real human body and experienced human temptations and suffering. He took on human flesh through the virgin Mary, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit without a human father. This allowed him to live a sinless human life and sacrifice himself as the perfect human substitute for our sins. His virgin birth fulfilled prophecies and showed that God can do miraculous new things.
Class 4 sons, not slaves - Bro. John Mannell
The document discusses Paul's letter to the Galatians regarding those who were promoting circumcision. It provides several reasons Paul gives for rejecting circumcision: 1) Christ will be of no benefit if they receive circumcision. 2) They will be obligated to keep the entire law. 3) They will be severed from Christ and no longer have access to grace. The document also notes Paul's harsh statement that those troubling the Galatians about circumcision should go further and emasculate or castrate themselves.

There are often two main reasons people don't get more from Bible study - they don't know how to read it effectively or they don't know what to look for. Three basic rules for improving observation are to learn to read the Bible better and faster, to read it as if for the first time by using different translations, and to read it as a love letter.
Bibliology and Hermeneutics (Session 3)
The document discusses the transmission of Scripture from its original writing to present copies. It addresses how we know the Bible has been accurately transmitted despite being copied by hand for centuries.

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
