Man has three parts - body, soul and spirit. Our spirit enables us to contact God who is Spirit and bring us into a union with God. The spirit also makes it possible for us to be built into the corporate dwelling place of God. The three parts of man parallel the design of Temple and the three stages of the journey of Israel. The presentation shows how the Scriptures reveal this truth and its fulfillment in Christ.

What Should be the Christian View of Anime?Joe Muraguri
We will learn what Anime is and see what a Christian should consider before watching anime movies? We will also learn a little bit of Shintoism religion and hentai (the craze of internet pornography today).
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
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…

1. Lesson 9 for March 4, 2017
Adapted from www.fustero.es
www.gmahktanjungpinang.org
2. Besides acting in each one of
us, the Holy Spirit also acts
in the Church as a body.
The Spirit keeps the Church
united so we can fulfill the
purpose the Church was
created for.
United with Christ.
United through baptism.
United through the Word of God.
United in faith and doctrine.
United in mission and service.
3. UNITED WITH CHRIST
“having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus
Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building,
being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you
also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.”
(Ephesians 2:20-22)
The Spirit works in each of us to lead us to
Jesus so we can receive justification and
sanctification, and above all, so we can live
united with Christ.
He makes us “living stones” (1Peter 2:5) in that process. The more united
with Christ we are, the closer we’ll be to our brothers and sisters.
Therefore, we are united in the community of believers, becoming part of a
compact building, “a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.”
4. “Therefore, as the elect of God,
holy and beloved, put on tender
mercies, kindness, humility,
meekness, longsuffering; bearing
with one another, and forgiving one
another, if anyone has a complaint
against another; even as Christ
forgave you, so you also must do.
But above all these things put on
love, which is the bond of
perfection. And let the peace of
God rule in your hearts, to which
also you were called in one body;
and be thankful.” Colossians 3:12-15
How should
those who are
united with
Christ live so we
can become one?
5. UNITED THROUGH BAPTISM
“For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one
body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or
free—and have all been made to drink into one
Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:13)
Baptism is a public act (before the whole
universe) that shows a new believer
becoming part of the body of the Church
(Matthew 28:19).
1. As Christ was buried, we die to
our old life.
2. As Christ was risen, we are reborn
to a new life, “that we should no
longer be slaves of sin.”
We give the world and a sin life up,
and we commit to live in communion
with Christ and His Church forever.
What’s the meaning of baptism
according to Romans 6:4-6?
6. UNITED THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD
“Sanctify them by Your truth.
Your word is truth.” (John 17:17)
It moves us
to know
Jesus
(John 5:39).
It helps us to
distinguish
truth from
falsehood
(Acts 17:11).
It’s the core
of every
revival and
reformation
(Isaiah
8:16).
How does the Bible strengthen
the unity of the believers?
The Holy Spirit inspired the Bible. Therefore, He will bring
unity with both the living Word (Christ) and the written Word.
7. UNITED IN FAITH AND DOCTRINE
“But as for you, speak the things which are
proper for sound doctrine.” (Titus 2:1)
“one Lord, one faith, one baptism.”
(Ephesians 4:5)
The doctrine is the beliefs that all the
Church accepts. The unity of the Church
needs doctrinal unity.
Jesus advised us to check “whether the
doctrine is from God.” (John 7:17)
The primitive Church persevered “in the
apostles’ doctrine.” (Acts 2:42)
Paul advised us to speak “sound doctrine.”
(Titus 2:1)
The doctrine the Holy Spirit uses to make
the Church united is based on the Bible:
“To the law and to the testimony! If they
do not speak according to this word, it is
because there is no light in them.” (Isaiah
8:20)
8. UNITED IN MISSION
AND SERVICE
“When the Day of Pentecost
had fully come, they were all
with one accord in one place.”
(Acts 2:1)
The first result of the pouring of the Holy
Spirit on a united Church was a missionary
preaching (that resulted in 3,000 people
being baptized).
A united Church cannot confine itself
to a building. It must go out to preach
and to serve the community.
How did the first Christians remain
united after Pentecost (Acts 2:42-47)?
They continued steadfastly in the doctrine and
fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
They were together and had all things in common.
They divided their possessions as anyone needed.
They gathered with one accord in the Temple.
They ate together with gladness.
They praised God.
They had favor with all the people.
