God is our loving Provider and His promises will take us from poverty to prosperity if we obey His Word.
Questions about Tithing
Tithing refers to giving 10% of one's income to their place of worship. It is commanded by God and commended by Jesus. Tithing demonstrates that God comes first, reminds people that God provides their wealth, and expresses love for God. The tithe should come from the first part of earnings and be given weekly. Offerings are additional gifts beyond the tithe. While tithing predates the Law, it became the standard for God's people and is validated by Jesus.
Unheralded - Demas
Demas was originally a fellow prisoner and worker with Paul who was committed to his Christian faith. However, according to 2 Timothy, Demas later deserted Paul because he had come to love this world. Demas provides a warning that we should never think we have reached the goal of our faith and must remain vigilant against being tempted away from God by worldly attractions, as Satan is constantly seeking to lead people astray. Staying strong in faith requires ongoing effort to grow spiritually and not lose sight of eternal priorities over temporary worldly pleasures.

THE BLESSED LIFE - A HEART OF GENEROSITY - PTR. ALAN ESPORAS - 10AM MORNING S...Faithworks Christian Church
The document discusses the concept of generosity and the blessed life. It begins by exploring how mankind was originally given dominion by God but this position was stolen. Jesus then restored mankind's blessed position. The key to living a blessed life is having a heart of generosity, as God himself is generous. Living with a spirit of poverty limits blessings, while a spirit of generosity aligned with God's nature results in abundance. True riches are found not in possessing much but in being generous with what one has under God's unlimited resources.255171 633912246321110000

The document describes how an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him not to be afraid to take Mary as his wife, as the child conceived in her was from the Holy Spirit. Mary would give birth to a son named Jesus, who would save his people from their sins, fulfilling a prophecy. It also describes how Jesus, though God, became human and was born as a man in order to take away human sins through his death and sacrifice. All will one day acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God.Promises are made to be honored
The people of Israel made promises to God to obey his laws, separate from the surrounding pagan peoples, honor the Sabbath and holy days, and financially support the Temple. Specifically, they promised to obey God's laws as given through Moses, not intermarry with non-Israelites, refrain from commerce on the Sabbath, cancel debts every seven years, and contribute annual donations to support Temple services. In making these promises, they sought to faithfully worship and honor God with their words and actions.
Why Missions?
This document discusses why missions are important based on two main reasons from the Bible. First, because we should love God and want to spread his fame and glory among all nations as commanded. Second, because we should love our neighbors and want to rescue the lost near and far by bringing them the gospel, as all people are sinful and separated from God without it. It concludes that the Great Commandment to love God and love our neighbors fuels engaging in missions to both spread God's fame and save the lost.

November 25 2018 - Sunday service - Experiencing God Unit12 - Experiencing Go...
This document discusses experiencing God in daily life. It outlines signs of departing from intimacy with God, such as no longer hearing from God or producing spiritual fruit. Causes of losing intimacy are compared to parables of lost items: turning to distractions, carelessness, or choosing worldly pleasures. Keeping intimacy with God involves loving Him daily through prayer, surrounding oneself with godly believers, sharing testimonies, obeying God through soul-winning, and being filled by the Holy Spirit. Maintaining an uninterrupted intimacy with God, as Jesus did with the Father, is the ideal relationship for believers.
Patterned Prayer
Prayer is a conversation with God, a pattern of communication, not a formula or push this button – or ring this bell type activity. Yet sometimes we might need to use a "method" to freshen up our prayer time.
Each Day Is Important
Time is broken up into millenniums, centuries, decades, years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds for our benefit. The benefit to us is separation. We do not have to be held captive by a single division of time, we can separate and walk in a new division. God is the Father of time and He created it to be used in the same way represented in the beginning. Time is to be used for creating.
PrayerForEvangelistsMcNultyMinistries
This document is a prayer and scripture paraphrase about evangelism. It contains 3 main points:
1) It thanks God for evangelists and asks for favor from authorities to allow evangelism work.
2) It prays for opportunities for evangelists to fully preach the gospel with faith and courage despite difficulties.
3) It asks God to send more workers into the harvest field to help evangelists and inherit nations.
LORD'S BAPTISM C
The document provides materials for a Bible study on the baptism of Jesus, including commentary on the readings. The first reading from Isaiah speaks of preparing the way of the Lord. The psalm calls the people to praise God as king. The second reading from Titus discusses God's grace appearing through Jesus to save people from sin. The gospel reading recounts John baptizing people with water and saying one greater will baptize with the Holy Spirit, then describes Jesus' own baptism when the Spirit descended on him.

The document provides commentary on Romans 13:11-14, urging believers to live distinctly from the world in light of Christ's imminent return. It contrasts those "asleep" in sinful darkness with believers who are awake and clothed in armor of light. Non-Christians are characterized by "deeds of darkness" like drunkenness and sexual immorality, but believers should reject such behaviors as they await the coming day of the Lord. Living holy lives now in view of Christ's future coming is a frequent biblical theme to motivate Christians.

Jesus teaches us to love god and people
Jesus teaches that the two greatest commandments are to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and to love others as yourself. The Bible passage in Luke 4:14-22 describes how Jesus read from and taught God's word to others in the synagogue in Nazareth. Jesus demonstrated his love for God and others through obeying God's word and sharing it with others.
Jesus reads and teaches god's word
Jesus loved God's Word and showed this by reading it and teaching others from it.

Jesus is kind to outcast
Jesus showed kindness to outcasts by eating with tax collectors and sinners, which upset the Pharisees. However, Jesus told the Pharisees that he came to call sinners, not the righteous, and that people should show love and kindness to all people, just as God loves everyone. The lesson teaches that Jesus was loving towards those disliked by others and that children should follow Jesus' example by being kind to people that others dislike or treat poorly.
Jesus heals us
Jesus healed a man with leprosy by touching him, even though touching a leper made him ceremonially unclean. The man was healed immediately and Jesus told him to tell no one, but the man went and told everyone what had happened. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in deserted places, yet people still came to him from everywhere.

I can take care of my body
Daniel and his friends pleased God by faithfully obeying God's commands to take care of their bodies. God created humans and gave instructions like eating healthy food, being clean, getting rest, and using our bodies for good things only. When Daniel and his friends followed these commands, they enjoyed good health, just as God intended. Pleasing God involves taking good care of the body by doing what is right.
Holy hands and feet

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
