Paul writes to the Corinthians expressing concern that they have been led astray by false teachers preaching a different gospel. He contrasts himself with these "imposters" and "big-shot apostles", noting that while he may not have their eloquence, he knows what he is talking about. Paul suffered greatly for the gospel and warns the Corinthians that their faith is at risk if they accept these other messages that distort Jesus' true teachings.

Lesson 13 - Three Phases of Xian Life
The document outlines three phases of the Christian life:
1) Salvation, where one accepts Christ as their Savior through faith.
2) Lordship, where one accepts Christ as their Lord and surrenders control of their life to Him.
3) Abiding in Christ, where through fellowship with Christ and yielding to the Holy Spirit, one bears the Spirit's fruit and allows God to work through them to glorify Himself and attract others.
In Christ
Paul writes a letter to the Christians in Ephesus, greeting them with grace and peace from God and Jesus Christ. He establishes his credentials as an apostle, having been personally called by Jesus on the road to Damascus. Paul reminds the Ephesians that they are saints, made holy by their faithfulness in Christ, not by works or miracles. He emphasizes the importance of abiding in Christ, as without Christ one can do nothing and will be condemned.

02 pauls authority and gospel
Paul wrote to the Galatians to address those teaching a false gospel of works-based salvation. Some rejected Paul's authority, as he was not one of the original 12 apostles. In his letter, Paul establishes (1) his authority came from a revelation of Jesus Christ, not men; (2) he preached the true gospel of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus; and (3) he warned the Galatians against deserting the true gospel for a false one requiring works.

02 the power of personal testimony
This document contains a series of passages about the power of personal testimony. It discusses how Jesus transformed several people's lives, including a possessed man, Mary, Peter, John, Paul, and Herod Agrippa. Their testimonies helped spread the gospel and bring others to faith. The document emphasizes that all Christians who have experienced God's salvation and daily blessings should share their personal stories with others. Knowing Christ personally is essential to being able to effectively witness about him. Sharing one's testimony can have a strong impact and even lead people to surrender their lives to Jesus.

01 paul apostle gentiles
1) Saul was a devout Jew who violently persecuted early Christians, believing their claims about Jesus were heresy.
2) On the road to Damascus, Saul experienced a dramatic conversion after encountering the risen Jesus, and became Paul, an apostle to the Gentiles.
3) The persecution of Christians in Jerusalem led some believers to flee to Antioch, where the first Gentile church was established, causing controversy over whether Gentiles needed to follow Jewish law.
Going To Church
The document discusses the meaning of "going to church" in the Bible and encourages Christians to gather together for worship and edification. It notes that nowhere in the New Testament are Christians commanded to "go to church" but rather to assemble, gather together, and come together as the church. It addresses common excuses people give for not attending worship services and encourages readers to go to worship for the right reasons - to worship God and be edified. It concludes by outlining the steps of salvation - hearing, believing, repenting, confessing, and being baptized - and inviting readers to come into Christ's church.
Being_the_Church_part1_The_Holy_Spirit
The document summarizes passages from Acts 1 that describe Jesus appearing to his disciples after his resurrection and instructing them to remain in Jerusalem until they receive the Holy Spirit. It says that for 40 days Jesus provided proofs that he was alive and spoke to the disciples about the kingdom of God. He told them not to leave Jerusalem but to wait to receive the gift the Father promised, which is the Holy Spirit. The disciples asked if Jesus would restore the kingdom to Israel at that time, but Jesus said it was not for them to know times or dates and that they would receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon them to be his witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
LOSS IS GAIN
Paul considers all things he once valued as loss compared to knowing Christ. He suffered the loss of all things in order to gain Christ. Paul counted them as rubbish so that he could gain Christ. While cultural preferences do not need to be abandoned, a believer's identity and status come from being a son or daughter of God, not from cultural identifications. Loss is gain for those who know Christ.
Open doors
This document summarizes chapter 13 of the Book of Acts. It describes Paul's journey spreading the message of Christianity from Antioch to various cities in Asia Minor like Paphos and Perga. It outlines key points from Paul's message where he explains that the Jews are blind to the scriptures and condemned Jesus to death, but God raised Jesus from the dead, as promised. Paul's message offers the promise of life after death and fulfillment of God's plan through Christianity.
Easter 2019
This document discusses the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the living hope it provides. It reviews several facts supporting the resurrection, including the known burial location of Jesus, evidence the empty tomb was discovered by women, testimony from Jesus' disciples, and their transformation from fearful to bold in spreading the message of the resurrection. The document concludes that through God's mercy, the resurrection of Jesus Christ has begotten believers again to a living, active hope.
Author of life
This document contains a summary of the Bible passage John 11:1-44 about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. It discusses Jesus' relationship with Mary, Martha and Lazarus, the disciples' fear of returning to Judea, Martha and Mary's reactions to Jesus, Jesus' statement that he is the resurrection, and lessons about faith and trusting God even in hopeless situations. The summary examines perspectives of different characters and themes around Jesus' power over death.
Session 06 New Testment Overview - Gospel of John
This document contains a fragment from the Gospel of John dated to the first half of the 2nd century CE. The fragment contains text from John 18:31-33 on the front and John 18:37-38 on the back. The document provides an introduction to the Gospel of John, noting its key purpose is to demonstrate that Jesus is the Christ/Son of God and that believing in him leads to eternal life. It summarizes the content and structure of John and examines some of Jesus' claims and miracles in the book that point to his divinity, such as his "I am" statements and turning water to wine.
Paul’s first mission
Paul and Barnabas went on the first Christian mission together to several cities, including Seleucia, Salamis, Paphos, Attalia, and Antioch. Barnabas was a Jew from Cyprus who was Paul's companion and supporter after Paul's conversion. They taught that men should repent of their sins. In Lystra, Paul healed a crippled man, leading the people to think they were gods. Paul and Barnabas convinced the people otherwise and preached repentance. Later in Antioch, the people stoned Paul for his preaching, as Paul had said believers must undergo tribulation to enter God's kingdom.
Acts 7:54-8:1a ~ Stephen: The First Christian Martyr
This week we finally finished our deep dive into Stephen's speech in Acts 7 and witnessed his stoning (or lynching, depending on how you look at it). We discussed Stephen's vision that he had prior to his stoning and the specific title he used for Jesus: Son of Man.
We observed the people take the law into their own hands. Foregoing any official verdict, they took Stephen out and stoned him. We compared the official guidelines for stoning (yes, this is a thing) to what happened with Stephen.
We also met, for the first time, a young man named Saul who was pleased with the killing of Stephen.
Gospel of John Introduction
The Gospel of John was likely composed in stages before or around 70 AD, as evidenced by references to the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. It was written from a post-resurrection perspective as a theological response to rising Gnosticism. The author was the Apostle John, who provides a unique theological perspective through seven signs, seven witnesses, and seven "I am" statements of Jesus intended to prove his divinity and offer believers eternal life.
Lesson 2 | Baptism and the temptations | Sabbath school | Power point
This document provides historical context for the ministries of John the Baptist and Jesus based on references in the book of Luke. It discusses the political leaders and high priests that were mentioned, helping to date the beginning of their ministries to around AD 27-29. The document also examines key events from the gospels, including John's baptism, Jesus' own baptism, his 40 days in the wilderness being tempted by the devil, and the three temptations Jesus faced. It emphasizes that Jesus overcame temptation by trusting in God's word and not doubting his identity or mission.
Let us read and weep
This document discusses occasions in the New Testament where individuals wept, and the spiritual lessons that can be learned from them. It examines Jesus weeping over Jerusalem because the people had rejected him, Peter weeping bitterly after denying Jesus, and Paul weeping as he thought about those who had disobeyed the gospel. The overall message is that we should weep over our own sins and the state of those who are lost, as it shows we understand our need for repentance and salvation.
Finding Jesus
The document discusses finding Christ and where he can be found based on biblical passages. It suggests that Christ can be found in places of worship like the temple and synagogue, as that is where Jesus spent time. It also notes that Christ can be found through individual conversations, as seen through his discussion with the Samaritan woman at the well, which led that town to find Christ. Finding Christ is important as he is the way, truth and life, and the son of God.

Journey Through The Bible: Gospel of John
1. John's gospel was written later than the other gospels, around 90 AD, decades after Jesus' death when Jerusalem and the Temple had been destroyed. It provides an eyewitness account from the disciple whom Jesus loved, commonly accepted to be the apostle John.
2. This gospel emphasizes the divine nature of Jesus as the Son of God through his signs and teachings, and highlights the division between those who believe and receive eternal life and those who refuse to believe and remain in judgment and sin.
3. The purpose is that readers may believe in Jesus as the Christ and Son of God and have life through believing in his name. John aims to provide spiritual insight so readers can truly know God the Father
Sabbath school lesson 3, 3rd quarter of 2017
This document provides a summary of Lesson 3 from July 15, 2017 about seeking unity in the early church. It discusses how Paul confronted Peter in Antioch over his hypocritical behavior in separating himself from Gentile believers to please Jewish believers from Jerusalem. The lesson examines the passages in Galatians 2 regarding Paul's defense of the gospel of salvation by faith alone versus those who taught salvation through works of the law. It also discusses how Paul and Barnabas went to Jerusalem to address disputes caused by Judaizers and how unity was reestablished through their agreement that Gentiles did not need to follow Jewish traditions.
Biblical christianity
The document discusses the differences between modern Christianity and biblical Christianity. It argues that modern Christianity is seen as weak, but biblical Christianity was powerful and authoritative. It provides examples from the Bible where Jesus and other prophets taught with authority and boldness rather than passively. Biblical Christianity stood out from other religions and was offensive to those who opposed the truth. It concludes that spending more time with Jesus and spreading his word will restore authority, boldness and power to Christianity.
5th Sunday - Second Reading - 1 Corinthians 15:1–11
1. Paul reminds the Corinthians of the gospel he preached, which included that Christ died for sins according to scriptures and was raised on the third day, and that he appeared after his resurrection to many people including the apostles and Paul himself.
2. Paul provides three proofs of Jesus' resurrection: the scriptures foretold a suffering and resurrected savior, hundreds of people witnessed the risen Christ, and Paul himself encountered the risen Jesus and radically changed from a persecutor of Christians to a believer.
3. Without the resurrection, Christianity makes no sense and there would be no hope of salvation or eternal life. Paul's proofs were logical and could not be disproven.
The_Chronological_Life_of_Christ_Part_11_Preparing_the_Way
The document summarizes John the Baptist's message as recorded in Luke 3. It describes three key threads: 1) John is the messenger without a title who proclaims the word of God, aligning him with OT prophets. 2) His message calls for repentance and strips away false security. 3) He speaks of God's wrath to prepare people for God's provision through Jesus, leading people to Jesus as the sole mediator.

Timothy 1 - Preaching the Gospel through the Law
The document discusses two views on the law. It states that the law is good if used properly but was intended for rebellious people as a redemptive tool. It also says the law was added because of transgressions until Christ came and the entire law is fulfilled by loving your neighbor. The author acknowledges being a former blasphemer and persecutor who was shown mercy to be an example of Christ's patience toward sinners.

LESSON 05 "THE APOSTOLIC EXAMPLE"
Paul transitions from focusing on the church to focusing on his own experience ministering in Thessalonica. He reveals that his true motivation for preaching was to please God rather than people or personal gain. Paul worked hard so as not to burden others financially and cared deeply for the Thessalonians, just as a father cares for his children. His goal was to authentically model the gospel through his character and compassion.
Jesus was perverted by false teachers
This is a study of Jesus being perverted by false teachers. It was another Jesus they presented and not the Jesus revealed to Paul. It was a different gospel and Paul warned believers to avoid the false Christ and stay true to the real Christ.
The 2nd Epistle Of John
The document summarizes the key points of the 2nd Epistle of John. It was written by "the elder" to "the elect lady and her children", likely a reference to a Christian community, around AD 90. The elder encourages them to love one another and warns of deceivers who deny that Jesus came in the flesh. He advises not providing active support for those who bring false teachings, as the Apostles themselves rejected individuals who spread heresy, while still seeking to edify Christian communities dealing with errors. The elder expresses hope to speak with the recipients in person to fully discuss these matters.
05 holiness of god
This document discusses the holiness of God according to Scripture. It begins by establishing the Bible as the source of truth about God's nature and character. It then explores what holiness means - to be set apart or different in a special way. Several Bible examples are given that show people reacting to encounters with God's holiness with fear, trembling, and repentance as they are confronted with their own sinfulness in comparison. The document emphasizes that God's holiness is consistently portrayed this way throughout both the Old and New Testaments.
10 October 2, 2011 Philippians, Chapter 1 Verse 12 - 14
This document provides commentary on Philippians 1:12-14 from the Bible. It discusses how Paul found greater joy and progress for the gospel through his imprisonment. His imprisonment became well known throughout the Roman guard and encouraged other believers to speak boldly about their faith. The commentary explores various perspectives on how God can use difficult circumstances to advance His kingdom.
LESSON 11 "PROMISE TO THE PERSECUTED"
Paul wrote 2 Thessalonians to correct misunderstandings that had developed in the church at Thessalonica. In the first chapter, Paul commends the Thessalonians for continuing to grow in faith and love despite facing persecution. He reminds them that God will bring justice at the second coming of Christ, when non-believers will face punishment and believers will be rescued and their faith will be shown to be justified.
Always a witness 02272013
This document contains excerpts from a Bible study on Colossians 4:2-6. It discusses several key points:
1) Christians should devote themselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. They should pray for opportunities to spread the gospel message and for boldness in proclaiming Christ.
2) Believers must act wisely towards outsiders and make the most of opportunities to share their faith. Their speech should be gracious and thoughtful.
3) How Christians walk and talk will influence the world more than any personal testimonies. We are all on mission everywhere. Our lives and conversations should point others to Christ.

This is a study of Jesus being faked by false teachers. They have a Jesus but He is not the Jesus revealed in the Word of God.
7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit
First, there are nine gifts of the Holy Spirit and the are written in the book of Corinthians not Luke.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11
“But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will”.
10 October 2, 2011 Philippians, Chapter 1 Verse 12 - 14
This document provides commentary on Philippians 1:12-14 from the Bible. It discusses how Paul found greater joy and progress for the gospel through his imprisonment. His imprisonment became well known among the praetorian guard and encouraged other believers to speak boldly about their faith without fear. The commentary explores various perspectives on how God can use difficult circumstances for good and further the spread of the gospel.

Spirituality, ‘a spiritual person’ or someone who has ‘the Spirit of God’ is the understanding that I believe Apostle Paul uses to attack worldly wisdom for being spiritual is the only way to have a better knowledge of the wisdom that pertains to God. Those who therefore profess worldly wisdom are ignorant seeing that only the Christian symbol of the Spirit can interrogate and discern the idea of wisdom (Senior, Collins & Getty-Sullivan, 2016). For instance, in 1 Corinthians 2:14-15, Paul implies that a person who is blessed by the Spirit of God has a better insight or knowledge of what pertains to God since that Spirit teaches believers a new way of perceiving things as well as gives them the opportunity to understand themselves better. As mentioned above, people who only possess worldly wisdom can be perceived to be ignorant of what really matters in life or rather, ‘the natural person,’ the one deficient of the Spirit of God is not as wise as the one who is blessed with the Spirit since the later ‘has the mind of Christ.’
Alfred Guzman
In 1 Corinthians, what understanding of Jesus or Christian symbol does Paul use to attack worldly wisdom?
Paul uses Jesus Christ crucified as the symbol to attack worldly wisdom. Paul states in 1 Corinthians 1:18 Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE), "18For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God". As Robert Imperato stated in his book, Portraits of Jesus, "This may be surprising as he did not follow Jesus prior to the crucifixion and participated in the persecution and murder of Christians. When writing to the Corinthians in the letter called 1 Corinthians, he says he came to Corinth knowing nothing but Christ crucified (1 Cor 2:2)" (Imperato 49-50). However, Paul continues saying in verse 27, "but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong. 28God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not. (RSVCE)" It is crucial to understand the cross was a torture device, a symbol of death, pain, and worldly Roman power against any who would stand against them. The cross was used for crucifying those considered less than. One might ask why God would do this, well, Paul addresses this in the next verse saying, "29so that no human being might boast in the presence of God" (RSVCE). One could also ask why Paul would make these claims. Again as Robert Imperato says, "He holds up the example of Christ crucified to poke a hole in the inflated egos of those Corinthians who were elevating themselves based on association with particular spiritual teachers (1 Cor. 1:11-17; 3:5-7,18; 4:6+). (Imperato 50)” In 1 Cor 3:1, Paul knows that his audience, “immature Christians who possess the spirit but are enslaved to worldly thinking” (Hahn and Mitch 288). Worldly wisdom equated with intelligence, knowledge, and understanding of earthly thin.

04 joyous and thankful
The document provides a lesson on 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10. It summarizes that Paul expresses gratitude and joy for the Thessalonians' faith in his opening remarks. Paul praises their work of faith, labor of love, and steadfastness of hope. He is thankful that God chose them and that their faith is evidenced by their reception of the gospel through the Holy Spirit and their assurance in Christ. The Thessalonians imitated Paul and the other ministers in suffering joyfully and became models for other believers to follow.
13 keeping the church faithful
Paul addresses issues that had arisen in the Thessalonian church regarding remaining faithful to the teachings they received from Paul and maintaining order. Some members were idle and not working, relying on others to support them. Paul reminds them of the tradition he set of working hard so as not to be a burden and teaches that those who will not work should not eat. He encourages discipline for those who refuse to follow this teaching.
11 promise to the persecuted
1. The document discusses Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians, focusing on chapter 1. Paul writes to encourage the church as they face persecution and to correct misunderstandings from his first letter.
2. The key passage discusses how God will make believers worthy of his calling and fulfill every good resolve through his power at the second coming of Jesus.
3. Paul affirms the Thessalonians for their increasing faith and love even amid suffering, and explains that their perseverance validates God's choice of them and will be evident when Jesus returns to pass righteous judgment on their persecutors.
Church On The Net Journal - Oct 2017
This document provides commentary on several passages from the Bible related to Jesus preparing his disciples for his departure and the coming of the Holy Spirit. It discusses Jesus' promises to send a "Comforter" or Helper to be with the disciples forever. It also examines Jesus' command to love him and keep his commandments. The document explores different perspectives on the baptism of the Holy Spirit and whether it is a separate experience from salvation. Throughout, it aims to clarify biblical teachings and warn against false teachings that have confused Christians.
LESSON 12 "THE ANTICHRISTI"
Paul writes to the church in Thessalonica to encourage them about end times events and warn against false teachings on the topic. He reminds them of what he had already taught when he was with them in person. Paul's goal is to calm and encourage patience in the Thessalonians as they experience persecution. God's righteous judgment will be evident in approving of believers and condemning those who persecute them.
Lesson 13 "KEEPING THE CHURCH FAITHFUL"
This document discusses several passages from 2 Thessalonians regarding maintaining faith and tradition in the church. It summarizes that Paul thanked God for the Thessalonians' faith and asked them to hold firmly to the teachings they received from him. It also discusses how the church must balance change with maintaining the core truths of Scripture and apostolic tradition, and that Paul expected Christians to work hard and not be a burden on others, as this was the tradition and example he set himself.

Holy Choices - an Introduction to Ignatian Decision-making
This document discusses discerning God's plan for one's life through making choices. It presents five assumptions: 1) God is real and present, 2) God has a plan for each person's uniqueness, 3) God actively guides people, 4) People are capable of being God-guided, and 5) People's decisions impact God's work through them. It encourages examining deepest desires and feelings for clues to God's work, and outlines tools like discernment of consolations and desolations, and the Examen prayer for guidance. The overall message is that through releasing attachments, paying attention to promptings, and choosing among "competing goods," one can discern and follow God's will.
Holy Choices - Introduction to Ignatian Decision-Makinig
Bill Faris guides us into the fundamental concepts and practices of discerning God's plans and making decisions as informed by the teaching of Ignatius Loyola.
Three kinds of rest, part three
A brief examination of the concept of practicing rest, observing a sabbath, and setting apart a "temple in time" the imitates God's rhythm of rest in creation.
Three Kinds of Rest, Part Two
This time the focus is on the rest that comes from our surrender to God's rule and reign. It is a taste of the future when the Lord's authority will be comprehensive and all creation will be at rest.
Three Kinds of Rest, part one
The document discusses three kinds of rest, focusing on the "Rest of the Soul with God". It describes this rest as ceasing our efforts to be righteous through our own works and instead trusting fully in Christ's finished work. Quotes from scripture emphasize abandoning our own works and entering God's rest through faith. The experience of this rest is likened to a weaned child resting contentedly with its mother. Voices like Augustine, Amy Carmichael, and Chuck Swindoll are quoted speaking of finding rest, clarity, and exhaustion in God's presence through meditation and focusing on Him.
How We Worship - Praise and Worship - Part Two
The document discusses how Christians should approach worship. It says worship should be infused with love, gratitude, awe, and humility. Worshippers must have clean hands and a pure heart through confessing sins. The document encourages worshipping with confidence based on having access to God through Jesus and forgiveness of sins. It presents worship as an act of relationship and fellowship with God through our position as his children in Christ.
Why Worship?
In part one of Easter series we look at worship and why the proper worship of God REALLY matters!
Peak Experiences
The document discusses spiritual "peak experiences" and their importance in a spiritual life with God. It describes research from psychologists Abraham Maslow and Vincent Crapanzano on peak experiences like rapture and ecstasy. These experiences can impart a sense of the sacred and often involve manifestations of God's presence. They are also sometimes accompanied by a sense of calling or commissioning, as seen in biblical examples from Isaiah and D.L. Moody. While temporary, peak experiences can transform awareness and be foretastes of eternal glory.
Rooted in Hope
This document discusses rooting more deeply into hope through faith in God. It begins by quoting passages from Romans that discuss how through faith we are made right with God and given hope through the Holy Spirit. It then defines hope as an optimistic state of mind about desired future outcomes. The document contrasts easy hope, which is surface level, with hard hope, which requires deeper roots and patient effort. It encourages rooting into the fountain of hope that God has placed within believers, which gives a good future outlook even in difficult times. Drinking from this fountain of hope causes relaxation and seeing beyond present struggles.
Rooted Deeply, Session 1, Rooted Deeply in Grace
God calls us to root ourselves deeply in grace by increasing our confidence in His commitment to forgive, love, and transform us. Going deeper into grace means going deeper into fellowship with God, into His love and transformation. The passage encourages going below the surface with God to see what He has done and still needs to do in our innermost being. Going deep with God, we find signs of His kingdom within us despite any shameful things, as He is our healer and savior.
Finishing Well, Raising the Temperature of Your Relationship
This document discusses ways to warm the temperature of a marriage relationship. It suggests creating "warm emotional memories" (WEMs) through date nights, acts of service, gifts, quality time, and words of affirmation. These positive emotional memories can counteract any "negative emotional memories" (NEMs). The document provides examples of joyful, humorous, sexy, or unique WEMs and recommends speaking graciously, using eye contact and touch to affirm one's spouse. The overall goal is to strengthen emotional intimacy through generating fond shared experiences.
Finishing well!, part 3
This document discusses three types of forgiveness: garden variety offenses which should be forgiven 70 x 7 times; selected forgiveness for bigger offenses which may allow for reconciliation; and aggressive forgiveness which is a form of spiritual warfare. It provides guidance on processing smaller offenses with humor and empathy. For larger offenses, it recommends using the four "C"s of confrontation: compliment, confess, confront, commit. The goals of forgiveness are to glorify God, open doors for healing, and allow God to work in both people. Forgiveness does not condone wrongs but breaks unwanted bonds and paves the way for repair.
Finishing well, Parts 1 and 2
This document summarizes the first two sessions of a married couples retreat focused on finishing well.
Session one discusses creating a shared vision for a fruitful marriage grounded in God's word. It provides scriptural examples of fruitfulness and encourages couples to describe their vision simply, shareably, and in a way that is meaningful to them.
Session two discusses how crises can hinder or help couples in running long and finishing well. It defines marital crisis, provides common types, and outlines ineffective versus effective crisis management. The session emphasizes that God's plan is for couples to grow from crisis through joining together, facing facts, communicating, and increasing spiritual resources. It provides examples of potential growth and hindrances to growth.
Introduction to a Good Life With God
Psalm 1 contrasts two ways of life - the way of the wicked and the way of the righteous. The righteous person's life is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields fruit and has leaves that do not wither. Their life prospers. A good life with God includes fruitfulness, prosperity, rest, belonging to God's community, purpose and destiny, access to God's wisdom, a clean conscience, and shalom - total well-being and satisfaction in life. The source of a good life with God is God himself as our creator, shepherd, father and potter who shapes our lives.
Mark 6 - Prophets Disrupt
Mark depicts both Jesus and John the Baptist in their prophetic roles as those who disrupt and challenge the status quo. God is breaking in! His rule changes things. Mark shows us the impact of God's claims on the powerful and the weak.
Mark 5 - Jesus Changes Hopeless Cases
In this chapter we have three "hopeless" cases who, in different ways, encounter the hope of Jesus Christ. Their lives are changed forever - 'cause that's what Jesus does in bringing hope to the hopeless.
Mark 4 - Owning Spiritual Maturity
The document discusses the parable of the sower from the Bible, in which seeds sown by a sower produced different results depending on the type of soil. It says Jesus places responsibility on individuals for their differing spiritual results. It then discusses that no one is fully spiritually mature upon becoming Christian, and that individuals are responsible for their own spiritual growth through learning practices like prayer, Bible reading, worship, sharing their faith, and resisting sin. Spiritual maturity requires both knowing spiritual truths and putting them into practice.
Introduction to Mark
This introduction to Mark's gospel emphasizes the good news concerning the inbreaking Kingdom of God as announced and spearheaded by Messiah, Jesus. Signs and Wonders attend. The crucifixion and resurrection ensure. Go tell the Good News! It's time!
Confronting Our Idols
The first example of idolatry in the Bible was in Exodus 32 - The Golden Calf story. What can we take from this to help us better understand and confront our own spiritual anxieties?
Greatest miracle
What is the greatest miracle you have ever witnessed? There is not greater miracle than a change of heart and soul. Even the Believer must remain open and committed to "contining conversion". Zacchaeus reminds us of what conversion looks like - a total change in "operating system".

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
The pervasiveness of Lying in today's World.pptx
In our interconnected world, lies weave through the fabric of society like hidden threads. We encounter them in politics, media, personal relationships, and even within ourselves. The prevalence of deception raises profound questions about truth, trust, and the human condition.
THE IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The subject of spiritualism fundamentally relates to two specific tenets, independent yet closely associated as one—awareness and consciousness.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Spiritual Imposters
- 2. 2 CORINTHIANS 11: 1 – 6, MESSAGE Will you put up with a little foolish aside from me? Please, just for a moment. The thing that has me so upset is that I care about you so much—this is the passion of God burning inside me! I promised your hand in marriage to Christ, presented you as a pure virgin to her husband. And now I’m afraid that exactly as the Snake seduced Eve with his smooth patter, you are being lured away from the simple purity of your love for Christ. It seems that if someone shows up preaching quite another Jesus than we preached—different spirit, different message—you put up with him quite nicely. But if you put up with these big-shot “apostles,” why can’t you put up with simple me? I’m as good as they are. It’s true that I don’t have their voice, haven’t mastered that smooth eloquence that impresses you so much. But when I do open my mouth, I at least know what I’m talking about. We haven’t kept anything back. We let you in on everything.
- 3. PAUL’S PASSION FOR GOD’S PEOPLE Throughout this chapter (11), Paul’s passion for the spiritual clarity, maturity, and soundness of these Christ-followers is on display. • How is Paul distinguishing and contrasting himself from the imposters he is exposing throughout this part of the Corinthian letter? • Who do you consider to be “the real thing” as a spiritual leader? What are some things about them that convince you of this? • What are some of the characteristics of “imposter” spiritual leaders you have encountered?
- 4. PLAYING THE FOOL – 2 CORINTHIANS 11 How is Paul using The Fool role in this text to make his points? Describe some of the other communications techniques you observe prophets, writers, teachers, and apostles using to convey their message or their points?
- 5. SEDUCED What are some of Paul’s concerns regarding the Corinthian believers? • What is one of the key characteristics of their faith he considers to be at risk? (v. 5) • What does Paul mean by “another Jesus”, “different spirit”, and “different message”?
- 6. VERSES 23 – 27: SUFFERING Why is Paul cataloging his sufferings in verses 23 – 27; what’s his point? • What does suffering have to do with authentic Christian leadership? • Who do you know (or know of) who has suffered greatly for Christ as a spiritual leader (i.e. John Stone). - How does their experience of suffering affect their profile as a spiritual leader? Why are the specific qualities suffering brings out in a true spiritual leader?
