Evangelism is a scary word. But when we understand the foundation of the Gospel is that God became one of us to befriend us, sharing that good news with people of other faiths becomes less frightening.
What do Muslims believe? What do they have in common with Christianity? What are the important differences? Let's cut through the stereotypes and find the Truth.

Why does God allow the righteous to suffer? By examining the account of Job and wondering about the death of James, we find that although we may not know why we suffer, it is important for us to learn through it. We are reminded that suffering provides us an opportunity for our faith to grow, that we will all die, and we are encouraged to continue in prayer. (Parts of this lesson were borrowed from Darrel Yontz.)
Today's SS lesson, "Living As Strangers". We Christians are to be in the world, looking to love and point people to God's grace by our examples and our genuine good deeds. We first must reject falseness (the old life) in our own lives, then we will be free to be Jesus servants by others
Dear brothers and sisters,
We are just stewards. We are not supposed to be plunderers. Resign if you cannot be a good and honest steward, before they kick you out.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

Editor's Notes
What were your thoughts about the seven churches over the week? Which messages stuck with you?What is the central conflict of the Revelation? (Why is Jesus being revealed?)
The core issue: How do we remain faithful in a faithless culture?
Rival Eschatologies:John is taken behind the veil to see:Who’s really on the throne? Rome? NOPE!
This is God’s Will. It was “sealed” because of Sin – no one was worthy to unseal it. Until…
You were expecting a lion?THIS is Jesus’ eschatology!… So what happens when the Lamb opens the scroll?
Systematic critique of the PaxRomana
Images by Scott Kronk of Fulton, MO
So what’re these horsemen? Why draw on Zechariah? They are God’s agents, judging the empires that oppose God’s people (ROME)
Lamb Power! How does God love Sin to Death?
So… what comes next?
What did this mean for the Seven Churches?The PaxRomana isn’t strong enough for your faith and destiny. Salvation belongs to God alone!How would this speak to Ephesus? To Smyrna and Philadelphia? To Pergamum, Laodicea and Sardis?
