Am i getting noticed??? (GO!!! Let's figure out what speech to give on Thursday)
Sharon Koh - God Is Faithful - 081109
God is faithful and will not let you be tempted beyond your endurance. The Israelites all experienced freedom from Egypt but most still disobeyed God and faced consequences. These events were recorded as warnings for believers, to learn from mistakes and not fall into temptation or grumbling. We should worship God as our creator and ruler over all.
Ken Fong The Same Lord 081116
The document discusses spiritual gifts and roles within the church. It explains that there are different gifts but the same Spirit, different kinds of service but the same Lord, and different kinds of work but the same God. Each person is given spiritual gifts by the Holy Spirit to contribute to building up the church. While gifts may come naturally, roles require effort. One's constellation of gifts provides a clue to their contribution to the church and faith community. Christians should focus on stewarding their gifts for the common good rather than infighting.
Ken Fong - Life Together - 080914
1) The message of Christ crucified seems absurd and foolish to those who are doomed, but it makes perfect sense to those who are being saved.
2) While some Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, Christians proclaim Christ crucified. Though some Jews see it as unremarkable and Greeks see it as nonsense, Christ is God's ultimate power and wisdom for believers.
3) God chose ordinary, overlooked people to shame the wise and powerful, so that believers' faith comes from God's power rather than human wisdom or ability.
Sharon Koh - Living Sacrifice - 080831
The document summarizes three passages from Romans 12 that discuss living as Christians. The passages encourage believers to offer their bodies as living sacrifices to God, love others sincerely, honor others above themselves, share with those in need, bless persecutors instead of cursing them, live in harmony with all people, do not take revenge but instead do good to enemies, and overcome evil with good.
Dave Fukuyama - A Life Well Lived - 080810
Joining God requires knowing the scope of God's plan, allowing God to be the source of power, and obeying God. God promised to do wonders never done before and drive out enemies to show his power. Joining God means recognizing God as the source of strength and obeying his commands out of love. Completing the work God started requires patience as one continues obeying.
Ken Fong - Loving God And Our Neighbor - 090322
The document discusses the importance of loving God and one's neighbor. It cites Jesus teaching that the two greatest commandments are to love God with one's whole being and to love one's neighbor as oneself. It provides the parable of the Good Samaritan as an example that anyone in need is our neighbor. It discusses how we should treat others the way we want to be treated and that justice is doing for others what we want done for ourselves. The document advocates having a vision of justice as a fact rather than just hope in order to persist in working towards justice.
Sharon Koh - The Surprising Path Of Courage - 090308
The document discusses the concept of true fasting according to Isaiah 58. It says that true fasting is not just abstaining from food, but involves acting justly towards others by loosening the chains of injustice, sharing food with the hungry, and providing shelter for the poor. True fasting means using one's privilege to help the oppressed and needy. The document concludes that God requires people to act justly, show mercy, and walk humbly with Him.

Ken Fong - Lenten Series - God Of Justice - 090315
The document discusses the concept of justice from both a childlike and mature Christian perspective. It notes that while children have an innate sense of fairness, humans often manipulate notions of justice for personal gain as they age. The text urges Christians to think clearly about pursuing justice in a way that empowers righteous action, is pleasing to God, and helps those suffering from injustice. It outlines that God is a God of compassion, wrath, and rescue who desires justice for the oppressed and defenders for the vulnerable. Christians are called to seek justice and rescue the oppressed as part of God's plan to shine light into dark places of injustice.
Ken Fong - What Is Faith - 090111
1. The document discusses the difference between having safe faith and heroic faith that takes risks to follow Jesus' example and help those in need.
2. It notes that without faith it is impossible to please God, and that faith requires belief and action, not just words.
3. The purpose of the Faith Village is to train heroic apprentices of Jesus to bring hope and justice to the world through inspiring, equipping, and sending them out.
Ken Fong - Life Together - 081130
1) The passage discusses the importance of love, citing several biblical passages that say without love, gifts, knowledge, and faith mean nothing.
2) It explains that love comes from God and those who refuse to love don't truly know God, because God is love. God showed his love by sending his son as a sacrifice to clear away sins.
3) The passage notes that even naughty children received presents, showing unconditional love can change people, just as God's love can change sinners. Loving one another is important because it allows God's love to dwell within us and become complete.
Ken Fong - The Heros Journey - 090208
The document discusses Abraham's heroic journey based on passages from Hebrews and Genesis. It says Abraham allowed God to capture his imagination with promises of blessing all peoples. He had enough faith to leave what was known and surrender to God's will, trusting God could raise the dead when asked to sacrifice Isaac. It calls for EBCLA to become a faith village that trains heroic apprentices of Jesus who embrace reconciliation and missional living, by not waiting for a perfect plan but getting going once captured by God's vision and leaving the known for the unknown.
Ken Fong - Two-Chapter Gospel - 090118
1. The document discusses the idea that having true faith in Christ means taking risks that rely on His power rather than ourselves, which can deepen one's faith, while playing it safe often means relying more on self than Christ.
2. It also discusses the idea that the traditional "two-chapter gospel" of believing in Jesus for salvation may be too small or narrow, and that the full gospel calls us to transform society through the church.
3. Other topics discussed include justification by grace through faith, the good news being for all people rather than just a select few, and what it means to be saved including believing in Jesus and living a transformed life that impacts others.
Steve Rivera - Knowlege Puffs Up But Love Builds Up - 081012
The document discusses how knowledge can make people arrogant but love builds people up. It warns that people with knowledge should be careful not to cause weaker believers to stumble in their faith by the example they set regarding eating food sacrificed to idols. The passage encourages considering how one's actions may spiritually harm others rather than relying only on personal freedom or knowledge.
Ken Fong - The Heroes' Journey - 090215
The document discusses Rahab's heroic journey as described in the Bible and Robert Quinn's transformational cycle. It states that the heroes' journey is about ordinary people leaving a safe place and known place to journey somewhere they have only heard about. The heroes' journey is about the continual search for meaning, direction, and living lives that please God in careers and relationships. It concludes with a Bible verse about living lives worthy of God by bearing fruit, growing knowledge, and having endurance.
Ken Fong One Body Many Parts 081123
The document discusses how Christians are called to be united as one body of Christ despite their differences. It references several Bible passages that talk about how all parts of the body are important and work together, just as all Christians have different roles but make up one body under Christ. The document encourages embracing diversity and seeing others as indispensable parts of the body of Christ, whose fullness requires the inclusion of every person.
Ken Fong - Parting Company On The Heroes Journey - 090621
Paul and Barnabas had a sharp disagreement over whether to take John Mark on their missionary journey again after he had deserted them previously. As a result, they parted ways, with Barnabas taking John Mark and sailing for Cyprus while Paul chose Silas and left for Syria and Cilicia. Even heroic partnerships like Paul and Barnabas' can fall apart, though Paul later reconciled with both men. It's important to be open to reconciliation and forgive as people and relationships are imperfect.
Sharon Koh - Sacrificial Giving - 080715
The document describes how the Israelites became God's chosen people through establishing covenants and commandments. God instructed Moses to have the Israelites refrain from idolatry and observe the Sabbath. They were also commanded to build a tabernacle as God's dwelling place according to divine instructions. Willing Israelites contributed a variety of materials for the tabernacle through freewill offerings until there was more than enough for the work.
John Lin - Run for the Prize - 081025
The document discusses running the Christian race and gaining the prize of eternal life. It provides several Bible passages that use running as a metaphor for living the Christian life. The passages encourage running with discipline and focus as if in training for a competition. They emphasize continuing in faith until the end to receive the victor's crown that is eternal life with God. While Christians must work out their salvation, it is by God's grace that they are able to do so and will receive the prize.
Ken Fong - When Perfection Comes - 081214
This passage from 1 Corinthians 13 discusses how certain gifts like prophecy, tongues, and knowledge will cease when perfection comes, but faith, hope and love will remain. It notes that currently humans only see imperfect reflections, but someday will see fully face to face. The greatest of the three that remain - faith, hope and love - is love, as love never fails and will continue for eternity with Christ.
Ken Fong - Jesus Christ Our Lord - 081221
The document discusses Jesus Christ's journey of love for humanity by becoming human and sacrificing himself on the cross to save people from sin. It describes how Jesus, though divine, humbled himself by taking human form and obediently dying for people out of love for them. It encourages the reader to acknowledge Jesus as Lord and follow his example of selflessly loving others.
Jonathan Wu - Bold First Step - 090104
Faith is being certain of what we hope for and having evidence of what we do not see, as shown by the ancients who were commended for their faith. While Christians talk about the wonderful sayings of Christ, John Stuart Mill argued they do not truly believe them and the words have little real effect. The prayer asks God, the dreamer and hope, to sow dreams and visions of what is yet to be so that current struggles do not prevent seeing, knowing, and serving God.
From Control to Surrender
1. The passage describes Jesus and his disciples being caught in a fierce storm on the Sea of Galilee. The disciples woke Jesus, afraid they would drown, and asked "don't you care if we drown?".
2. Jesus then rebuked the wind and waves, commanding them to be still. The storm immediately stopped.
3. Jesus chided the disciples for their lack of faith, asking why they were afraid when he had power over even nature.
From Whirlwind to Wisdom
This document contains quotes and passages about slowing down, resting, and living unhurried lives. It discusses how hurry can destroy our souls and keep us from living well. It emphasizes embracing sleep and rest as opportunities for God to work in us and care for us. The document encourages concentrating on God's presence rather than being so busy we cannot hear God's still, small voice. It invites living freely and lightly at the pace of grace.
Exclusivity to Engagement
The Resistance was formed to battle an oppressive empire. Small cells of rebels grew into a movement despite being poorly trained and lacking resources. Against the odds, the Resistance was ultimately victorious.
Moving God from Periphery to Center
The document discusses factors that can cause sleep issues like allergies, sickness, injury, hormones, irritants, lack of sleep, screen time, worry, stress, sorrow, loss, hardship, heartbreak and betrayal. It then recommends sleep hours needed for different age groups from newborns to adults. Finally, it discusses the benefits of sleep like consolidating memories, processing emotions, balancing hormones, refreshing brain cells, clearing waste and rejuvenating muscles. It also includes biblical references about God resting on the seventh day and choosing Zion as his resting place.
God's Work Is Our Rest
This document contains excerpts from Genesis describing God's punishment of Adam and Eve for eating the forbidden fruit, including painful labor for women and toiling to produce food from the ground for men. It also contains Bible verses about Jesus' humanity and suffering to redeem humanity, his resurrection as the firstfruits ensuring believers' resurrection and hope, and his offer of rest for the weary.
Our Work as Worship
The document summarizes passages from Genesis, Luke, Romans, and Matthew. It discusses:
1) God clothing Adam and Eve after banishing them from the Garden of Eden for eating from the tree of knowledge.
2) Jesus' death on the cross, with the temple curtain tearing in two and Jesus committing his spirit to God.
3) Romans urging believers to offer their bodies as living sacrifices, which is their true worship.
4) Matthew recounting Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, with crowds laying cloaks and branches on the road and shouting praises to him.
Our Work Redeemed
This document discusses several religious topics including Fu and the Great Flood, Noah and the Great Flood, redemption through faith in God, and becoming a co-worker with God. It also briefly mentions things the author hates like getting out of bed, people, and work.
Our Work as Futile
U.S. workers, especially millennials, want meaning and purpose in their work. They seek jobs where they can use their talents daily and have work-life balance. The Bible discusses work as a necessary result of humanity's fall from grace and describes toil as meaningless without finding satisfaction and pleasure in work itself and doing it for God. The document questions what people chase and work for if all their labor will ultimately be for nothing.

The Bible discusses work as a necessary result of humanity's fall from grace and describes toil as meaningless without finding satisfaction and pleasure in work itself and doing it for God. The document questions what people chase and work for if all their labor will ultimately be for nothing.
Our Work as Toil
1. Adam and Eve hide from God after eating the forbidden fruit from the tree.
2. God questions Adam and Eve about eating the fruit. Adam blames Eve, and Eve blames the serpent.
3. God punishes all three - the serpent will crawl on its belly, Eve will have pain in childbirth, and Adam will have to toil to produce food from the ground. Their relationship with God and each other is broken.
Our Work as Stewardship
1) The document discusses humanity's creation in God's image and their role of ruling over creation, cultivating the earth.
2) It presents views from early Christian thinkers like Eusebius of Caesarea who saw two types of lives - a perfect spiritual life and a permitted physical life, which wrongly narrowed the scope of calling.
3) The key idea is that work is humanity's divine calling since creation to partner with God and further His purposes through cultivating and creating.
God's Work, Our Work
The document describes the creation story from Genesis 1-2 in the Bible. It recounts each of the six days of creation, with God creating light, the sky, land, plants, stars, sea creatures, animals, and finally humans on the sixth day. On the seventh day God rested. It then discusses the concept of work and Sabbath, portraying God as a laborer through metaphors like gardener, shepherd, and potter. Finally, it suggests Christians abide in Christ's presence even during stressful work through humility, patience, and finding identity and worth in God rather than work performance or status.
Life with God
This document discusses various ways that Christians relate to and experience God, including through obedience to God's laws, surrendering control to God, finding purpose in God, and experiencing God's love. It also discusses Jesus praying that Christians would be united with God and each other to spread God's message. The document lists spiritual disciplines like meditation, prayer, fasting and study that Christians can practice to open themselves to worshipping God. Quotes emphasize that a relationship with God is about pursuing God rather than actions, and that the deepest level of connection is wordless communion.
Life from God
This document contains multiple Bible passages and quotes on different topics. It discusses God leading the Israelites in the wilderness for 40 years and teaching them to not live on bread alone but every word from God. It also contains a quote about when taken too far, the pursuit of comfort and avoidance of pain can make us spiritual lepers. The document reflects on different ways people relate to God and contains prayers to Jesus for help.
Life Over/Under God
This document contains several Bible verses and passages about God and eternal life. It discusses how God loved the world and gave his son so that all who believe in him will not perish but have eternal life. Another passage emphasizes that eternal life is knowing God as the one true God and Jesus Christ whom he sent. The document encourages focusing life on God.
Branches that Bear
The document discusses remaining and abiding in Jesus in order to bear fruit. It explains that branches must remain connected to the vine in order to bear fruit and warns that branches that do not remain will wither and be burned. It encourages readers to remain in Jesus through abiding in his word and teachings.
Examen
This document provides guidance for conducting a daily spiritual reflection called an "examen". It involves reflecting on the experiences of the day to see God's presence and action. This enables gaining wisdom for the future. It recommends opening your eyes and asking God for clarity, practicing gratitude in both joyful and disappointing moments, and reviewing the past year to identify a season of joy and disappointment. Tiles can represent these to express gratitude and ask for help. Finally, it quotes Psalm 77 about remembering God's deeds and miracles, and meditating on his mighty works.
Lights of the City
An angel appeared to shepherds watching over their flocks at night and told them the good news that a Savior, the Messiah, had been born in Bethlehem. The angel was joined by a great company of angels praising God. The shepherds went to Bethlehem and found Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus lying in a manger, just as the angel had said. They spread the word of what they had seen and experienced to all who would listen.
The Light of Beauty
Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked King Herod where the Messiah had been born, as they had seen his star rise and wanted to worship him. Herod consulted Jewish priests and teachers who said the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. Herod secretly met with the Magi and instructed them to find the child and report back so he could also worship him. The Magi followed the star to Bethlehem and found Jesus with Mary. They worshiped him and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, then returned home another way after being warned not to report to Herod.
The Light of Justice
This document discusses the concept of justice through several biblical passages and stories. It references the ideas of fair treatment, equality, and protecting the vulnerable. Key events mentioned include the birth of Jesus, the flight into Egypt to escape King Herod, and the subsequent massacre of innocent children in Bethlehem. The document concludes with a benediction calling for blessings of discomfort over injustice, anger to confront oppression, tears for those suffering, and hope that we can make a positive difference in the world.
A Glimmer of Hope
The document contains passages from the Bible describing Jesus Christ. John 1:1-5 describes Jesus as the Word of God who was present at the creation of all things and is the light and life of all people. Isaiah 9:2-7 prophesies that a child will be born who will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace and whose government and reign will have no end. Isaiah 7:14 contains the prophecy that a virgin will conceive and bear a son whose name will be called Immanuel.
