12th may 2016 - The four spiritual laws
The document summarizes the Four Spiritual Laws, which are a way to share the Gospel message through four main points. The first law states that God loves humanity and has a wonderful plan for their life. The second law is that humanity is sinful and separated from God. The third law is that Jesus Christ is God's provision for sin and through him people can be forgiven and restore their relationship with God. The fourth law is that people must have faith in Jesus as their savior to receive salvation and know God's plan. The document encourages readers to pray to accept Jesus's salvation if they understand their sinfulness.
New Testament Baptism
The document discusses the biblical meaning and purpose of baptism, arguing that modern evangelical views of baptism as symbolic or unnecessary for salvation are not supported by scripture. It provides several passages from the Bible indicating that baptism is a command from Jesus, required for salvation, when sins are washed away, and how believers are joined to Christ through baptism. The document concludes baptism cannot be separated from faith and is necessary for salvation according to biblical teachings.
06 faith that works
Faith that Works discusses the relationship between faith and works according to the book of James. It summarizes James' key points that faith without works is dead, and that genuine faith is shown through righteous actions. Abraham and Rahab are used as examples of those whose faith was made complete through their obedience and good works. While salvation comes through faith alone, true saving faith will necessarily be demonstrated through works of righteousness.
Colossians Week #2
Epaphras founded the church in Colossae and was a close friend and co-worker of Paul's. He visited Paul in prison to share news of the Colossian believers. Paul was secure in the Colossians' salvation because Epaphras informed him of their faith, love, and hope. The document discusses the nature of the Christian faith as being centered on Jesus Christ and characterized by love. It emphasizes that true believers demonstrate wisdom, knowledge of God, and fruitfulness through good works.
17th may 2016 - The example of Jesus Christ
The document discusses the identity of Jesus Christ based on biblical passages. It summarizes that Jesus claimed to be God based on his statements that he was one with God the Father and that he existed before Abraham. The Jews understood these statements as claims of deity and tried to stone him for blasphemy. Additionally, biblical authors like John, Paul and Isaiah provide evidence that Jesus was God in the flesh. The document concludes that Jesus is the example for Christians to follow in worshipping God, having compassion for others, and putting their calling to God before all else.

12 December 18, 2011 Philippians, Chapter 3 Verse 3
The document provides commentary on Philippians 3:3, discussing what constitutes true believers and worship. It makes the following key points:
1) True believers exercise discernment and worship God from the heart in a way that transcends rituals or ceremonies, prompted by love rather than cultural obligations.
2) Acceptable worship is based on biblical truths and involves living obediently to God's word in every aspect of life.
3) True worshipers love God, find their joy in him, and have confident trust in him, in contrast to unbelievers who hate God. Their relationship with God produces peace regardless of circumstances.
17th February 2017 - Does God give us more than we can handle
1) As Christians, we will face trouble in this world but God will not allow any difficulty that is beyond our ability to bear. With faith in God, we can overcome any temptation or testing.
2) When we are tempted, God provides a way out and the strength to endure. Our strength does not come from ourselves but from God. We should commit our problems to God in prayer and seek His assistance.
3) Not all prayers are answered simply through praying. We must have faith in God, repent of sins, and seek His salvation in order to receive His assistance and provision.

Demon Possession?
This document discusses whether Christians can be demon-possessed by examining what the Bible says. It notes that the Bible does not explicitly answer this question but provides considerations. It reviews the study of pneumatology, noting that Christians receive the Holy Spirit at conversion and are sealed and baptized by Him. Given scriptures showing the Holy Spirit dwells in Christians, it seems unlikely a demon could possess a temple occupied by the Holy Spirit. The document distinguishes between demon possession, which involves demon control or ownership, and demon oppression, which Christians can experience through spiritual attacks or temptation to sin.
1 2 - father, into you hands, 17 april. 2011
The document discusses Jesus' last words on the cross and how Christians can have confidence at the moment of death. It notes Jesus called out with a loud voice "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit" before breathing his last. Christians can be confident through having faith in God's authority as their final judge, having faith that God will vindicate them, and having faith in the final victory of resurrection through Christ.
2nd April 2017 - Beware of false Doctrine
False doctrines directly contradict biblical teachings and can lead believers astray. Some examples of false doctrines discussed in the document include denying hell and the exclusivity of Christianity as the only path to God. The document warns that any teachings that redefine Jesus Christ, add works to salvation, or present grace as a license to sin are considered false doctrines. Christians are advised to beware of false doctrines and test all teachings against Scripture to avoid being deceived or led astray.

Antinomianism
Antinomianism is the belief that faith alone is necessary for salvation and Christians are not bound by moral laws or obligations. The term was coined by theologians to label those who interpreted scripture this way. Antinomians believe obedience to moral laws like the 10 Commandments is not required for salvation. Throughout history, some antinomians went so far as to violate God's commands and even worship the devil. Martin Luther first used the term to describe Johannes Agricola's teachings that Christians are entirely free from moral laws. Antinomians have developed several doctrinal principles and types to support their view of freedom from law through faith alone.

Where did Jesus say I am god worship me
LORD JESUS CHRIST makes several claims in the Bible that only God can make, such as forgiving sins, judging mankind, and granting eternal life. He accepts worship from his disciples and others, showing he believed himself to be divine. While Muslims argue Jesus never directly said "I am God, worship me", he made statements that imply divinity, such as claiming to be the "First and the Last" and existing before the world was created. The document examines passages in the Bible and Quran to demonstrate Jesus' deity and that he is worthy of worship as God.
22nd June 2016 - Praise and Worship
Praise and worship should be focused on God alone, as our creator and the one who desires a relationship with us. Christians are commanded to praise and worship God, as shown in both the Old and New Testaments. True worship requires knowing God through faith in Jesus Christ, developing a relationship with Him, and allowing our lives to be transformed by renewing our minds and yielding our will to God's. Praise and worship involves using our entire lives to exalt God through our thoughts, actions, and obedience to His good and perfect will.
4th November 2016 - A carnal Christian
1) The passage discusses the concept of a "carnal Christian" based on 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, referring to Christians who live worldly, fleshly lives dominated by bodily pleasures and appetites rather than by the Spirit.
2) It provides context that Paul was addressing believers in Corinth who were "still worldly" and "acting like mere humans" rather than following God's holiness. This suggests that Christians can slip into carnal, selfish habits if not careful.
3) A truly carnal Christian may not be a Christian at all, as a lifestyle characterized by immorality and division contradicts teachings like pursuing holiness, faith evidenced by works, and obeying God's
27th november 2015 evidence for the christian faith
This document discusses the evidence for Christian faith. It begins by defining faith from both a biblical and modern perspective. While a dictionary defines faith as unquestioning belief without proof, the Bible describes faith as having evidence and being grounded in what we hope for but have not seen. The document then argues that true biblical faith is not blind belief without evidence, but rather involves examining the rational evidence for God's existence, such as Jesus appearing to disciples after his resurrection. Faith is founded on God's word and comes from hearing biblical messages, not mystical beliefs. Finally, faith functions through works, as true faith naturally results in good works, though works do not provide salvation - it is by faith alone we are saved.
Be who you are in Christ (Romans 6)
This document provides an overview and analysis of Romans 6, which discusses being freed from sin and enslaved to righteousness. It divides the chapter into two sections. The first addresses being a new person in Christ, while the second addresses no longer being under sin's power but God's. It explains that believers have died to sin and their old selves have been crucified, while their new selves have been raised to walk in newness of life. Believers are exhorted to realize they are dead to sin and to act accordingly by putting off their old selves and putting on their new identities in Christ.
Ellen G. White Mission And Message From Scripture
The document discusses Ellen G. White and her role as a prophet. It provides biblical parallels between John the Baptist and Ellen G. White, noting that both bore witness and testimony of Jesus Christ. It also addresses criticisms of Ellen G. White by some, but responds that God appointed her to bear His word and that rejecting her testimony would be similar to rejecting Christ, as the Jews did.
09-16-18, Galatians 3;1-14, True Life
The document summarizes a sermon on Galatians 3:1-14 about receiving the Holy Spirit by faith rather than works. It discusses how the Galatians initially received the Spirit simply by believing, but were becoming confused by those saying more was required. Paul asks them how they received the Spirit - by obeying laws or by faith? The sermon argues we receive the Spirit's empowering and indwelling through faith in Christ, not by cleaning up our lives or other works.

WHAT DID JESUS REALLY SAY?
1. Jesus was not and could not have been the Messiah according to Jewish scripture. The Messiah is supposed to be a mere man who fulfills certain prophecies that Jesus did not, such as rebuilding the temple.
2. Jesus did not explicitly claim to be the Messiah in the Bible. Passages that seem to indicate he did can also be interpreted other ways and Jesus often avoided directly answering when asked if he was the Messiah.
3. Even if Jesus was considered the Messiah, that would not make him divine as the Messiah is meant to be a human leader, not God or the son of God according to Jewish tradition.

Sermon 09.22.13 - Matthew 22:1-14 - Brian Knight
The document discusses Jesus' parables about a king's wedding banquet for his son. The king initially invited guests but they refused to come. He then instructed servants to invite anyone they found, both good and bad. One guest arrived without proper wedding clothes and was thrown out. The passage emphasizes that many are invited to the kingdom of heaven, but not all will be chosen or deemed worthy to enter. Believers must have faith in Christ to be clothed with him and among the chosen few.
Sermon 09.08.13 - Luke 15 - Brian Knight
This document contains excerpts from several Bible passages. Matthew 28:18-20 recounts Jesus saying that all authority in heaven and earth has been given to him, and commands his disciples to go make disciples of all nations. Luke 15:1-2 describes tax collectors and sinners gathering around Jesus, while Pharisees and teachers of the law criticize him for welcoming sinners. Philippians 2:5-8 discusses Jesus, though divine, humbling himself by taking human form and becoming obedient to death on the cross. Hebrews 2:10-12 portrays Jesus and those he saves as part of the same family, with Jesus calling believers his brothers and sisters.
Sermon 08.25.13 - Luke 15:11-32 - Brian Knight
This passage tells the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son. It describes how tax collectors and sinners gathered around Jesus, while the Pharisees muttered that he ate with such people. It then recounts the parables, which convey God's joy at sinners repenting, through stories of a lost sheep and coin being found, and a father welcoming his lost son home. The passage ends by describing the angry response of the older brother to his father's celebration.
Sermon 08.18.13 The Two Lost Sons Luke 15:11-32 - Brian Knight
The sermon discusses the parable of the two lost sons from Luke 15:11-32. In the parable, a father has two sons - one wastes his inheritance and ends up poor, while the other stays and works for the father. The poor son returns home seeking forgiveness and his father welcomes him back with a celebration. The message is about God's love and forgiveness for sinners, and his joy when they repent and return to him, just as the father rejoiced over his lost son's return.

It describes how people like Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, and many prophets lived by faith, not seeing the promises of God but believing them. They admitted they were strangers on earth and looked to a heavenly country prepared by God. The document encourages readers to persevere in faith like Jesus, fixing their eyes on him despite hardships, and to pursue holiness as God disciplines believers as his children.
Sermon 06.16.13 - The Inheritance - Genesis 12 - Kyle Borger

Sermon 06.09.13 Acts 5:15 - 42 Be an Unstoppable Witness of the Good King
The early Christian believers shared everything they had and there was no needy among them. The apostles performed signs and wonders and taught about Jesus' resurrection. When the apostles were arrested for teaching, an angel freed them from jail and told them to continue preaching in the temple. They were again arrested and brought before the Sanhedrin, where Peter declared they must obey God rather than men. A Pharisee named Gamaliel advised not interfering if their work was from God. The apostles were flogged and commanded not to preach, but they continued teaching daily about Jesus.

Sermon 05.05.13 - Matthew 25 - Why are we here? Brian Knight
The sermon discusses the parable of the talents from Matthew 25, in which a man entrusts his servants with different amounts of money to manage based on their abilities before going on a journey. Two servants invested their money and doubled their returns, pleasing their master. However, the third servant buried his single talent in the ground out of fear of losing it. Upon the master's return, the first two servants are praised for their work, while the third is punished for not putting the money to use. The sermon uses this parable to explain that God has given each person different abilities and expects them to be put to use during their lifetime.
Sermon 04.28.13 John 13:30-35 Love One Another
This sermon discusses loving one another as Jesus loved us. It references several Bible passages about Jesus glorifying God through his death, loving others more than one's own life, and laying down one's life for friends. Jesus gave a new commandment to love one another as he loved us. When we love one another, people will know we are Christ's disciples. The fruit of the Spirit is love and those who belong to Christ have crucified selfish passions and desires to live by the Spirit through love. The sermon encourages praying for a heart like Jesus' to love others and looking for ways to express tangible love to those around us this week.

In Tabitha, also known as Dorcas, was a disciple who was known for her good works and acts of charity. When she became ill and died, her friends called for Peter who came and saw her laid out. Peter sent them all out of the room and prayed, and commanded Tabitha to arise. She opened her eyes, and when Peter presented her alive, many believed in the Lord.

2) In John 20, the disciples are hiding in fear but Jesus appears and says "Peace be with you." He commissions them as the Father sent him. Thomas doubts until he sees Jesus and confesses "My Lord and my God!"
3) William Greathouse explains that we naturally love ourselves more than others, but walking in the Spirit enables us to love others as much as ourselves through God's balancing grace.
