God established Jesus as the True King and the True Servant in his baptism. Likewise, we covenant with God in our baptisms to submit to Jesus' authority, to live like him as a servant, and to follow him into ministry.
The document discusses several biblical passages related to who or what we should pray to. It notes that Jesus is the only mediator between God and mankind, and that the veil was torn when Jesus died, allowing all people to pray directly to God. It discusses that saints are currently "sleeping" until Jesus' second coming, and examples from the Bible of saints who humbly refused worship, directing people only to God. The conclusion is that we should only pray to God and present our requests directly to Him.
The Bishop-Prelate issued a letter for the Year of Faith discussing several topics:

3) Knowing and professing our faith through doctrinal formation and union with Christ in prayer and penance.
4) The duty to do apostolate and concluding remarks.
1) The document provides guidance on how to follow Jesus, including leaving everything, being with him, being a servant, and personally studying the Bible.
2) It discusses stories from the Bible where Jesus' disciples left their nets and jobs to follow him, and how Jesus appointed twelve disciples to preach after teaching them.
3) Personal study of scriptures is important, as illustrated by Jesus explaining passages to Cleopas and another disciple on the road to Emmaus, which led their hearts to burn within them.
From the sermons of saint augustine, bishopLeonard Guiang
1) Saint Augustine emphasizes that leaders must serve those under their authority, as Christ served his followers. He cites biblical passages where Christ teaches humility and service.
2) Saint Augustine states that as bishops and leaders, they are servants of the people. While they preside, their role is to serve others just as Christ sacrificed himself to serve humanity.
3) Saint Augustine calls on bishops and leaders to follow Christ's example of humility and service and to see themselves as servants of God and the people rather than as those who demand service.

Sabbath school lesson 13, 1st quarter of 2018David Syahputra
God wants us to be faithful stewards who reflect His character through our lives. When we practice godliness, contentment, trust, and being a good influence, it brings spiritual blessings both now and in the future. At Jesus' return, faithful stewards will hear "Well done, good and faithful servant" and enter into eternal joy. Our goal should be to imitate Christ's selfless character through good works so that we may be a blessing to others and find contentment in this life as we prepare for life with God forever.

Sabbath school lesson 12, 3rd quarter of 2015David Syahputra
Paul adapted his message to different audiences in 3 key ways:
1) He related the message to their specific needs and culture, preaching about Israel's history to Jews and using their own writings about God to Gentiles.
2) He used familiar examples like athletes and soldiers to teach eternal truths in a relatable way.
3) He worked with a team of co-workers like Timothy, Silas, and Luke to spread the message more widely, showing that effective ministry requires collaboration.
The document is a collection of prayers, passages from scripture, and reflections related to All Saints Day. It includes a communion prayer giving thanks for spiritual food and the heavenly banquet. Passages from Hebrews encourage running the race of faith with endurance and fixing eyes on Jesus. Prayers ask for grace to set aside burdens and sins and attain eternal joy. The collection honors saints from different Christian traditions who have gone before and served God. A prayer envisions carrying on the work of prophets, martyrs and mystics. The document concludes with Jesus' commandment to love God and neighbor as the greatest commandment.
The document summarizes a biblical passage from Numbers chapters 17 describing an event where Moses was instructed by God to take a staff representing each of the 12 tribes of Israel. He wrote Aaron's name on the staff of Levi and placed them in the tent before God. The next day, only Aaron's staff had sprouted, budded and blossomed, demonstrating that Aaron and his lineage would be chosen as the priestly line.
The document discusses the identity of Christians according to scripture. It describes Christians as new creations in Christ who are children of God, chosen and holy, enslaved to righteousness, God's workmanship, Christ's friends, born again, expressions of Christ's life, reconciled to God, ambassadors of Christ, temples of God, part of the true vine, the salt and light of the world, and hidden with Christ in God. The overall message is that Christians have a new identity and purpose through their relationship with Christ.

Sabbath school lesson 10, 3rd quarter of 2016David Syahputra
This document discusses the concept of confidence and how it relates to God and people. It provides biblical examples of individuals like Joseph, Daniel, and Ezra who won the confidence of pagan leaders by serving their communities well. While people are imperfect and cannot be fully trusted, churches can build confidence in their communities by addressing local needs and pointing people to God, who alone is completely trustworthy. The Adventist Church's health message can help it win people's confidence and make them receptive to learning about its biblical teachings.
God created humans to have dominion over the earth and its creatures according to Genesis 1:26. This dominion was meant to be carried out as faithful stewards of God's creation. While humans were given authority, this authority had boundaries like not eating from the tree of knowledge. Humans transgressed these boundaries through sin. However, through Christ's restoration, dominion can be restored by caring for people and the earth with love, kindness and humility as stewards of God's creation.
In this lesson you will be challenged to preach Christ crucified just as Paul did. The emphasis of our preaching must be Christ and the meaning of his death. This material was borrowed from Jim McGuiggan in his book The Dragon Slayer, chapter 1: The Crux of the Matter. For a much better understanding, I strongly encourage reading this book.
This document discusses the plan of salvation through God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. It explains that God has always been loving and merciful, and that salvation is a free gift available to all through accepting Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection. The everlasting gospel of salvation will be proclaimed to all people before Jesus returns, in order to call all to accept this gift of eternal life.
This document provides three steps to proactively seize the life God has offered:
1) Ditch extra weight like hindrances and sin that entangle.
2) Make the mission more important than personal interests or tribes.
3) Cut off all retreat options by being strong, courageous, and not looking back as God leads the way.
This document discusses how God is with Christians in various ways. It explores how Jesus Christ lives in believers through faith, how the Holy Spirit dwells within those who believe and obey the gospel, and how God the Father is in all believers and part of their unity. The document also examines how God's truth, grace, and promises are with Christians. It emphasizes that God will never leave believers as long as they remain faithful to Him through obedience.
Sabbath school lesson 12, 3rd quarter of 2017David Syahputra
This document provides a summary of key points from Galatians 5. It discusses walking in the Spirit versus fulfilling the lusts of the flesh. It contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit. The works of the flesh include sins like adultery, idolatry, and drunkenness. The fruit of the Spirit includes love, joy, peace, and self-control. Living by the Spirit involves crucifying the flesh, being led by the Spirit, and walking in line with the Spirit.
We were all born as sinners due to Adam's actions, but through Jesus's death we can be freed from sin's control. When we accept Jesus as our Lord, we are liberated from our sinful nature because we died with Christ on the cross and our old sinful selves have been put off. As Christians, we must reckon that we are dead to sin through faith in Christ so that we no longer have to be enslaved by sin, though we can still choose to sin.
The document provides an overview of the Bible, summarizing its key attributes in 6 points:

The document discusses the significance of the cross during the mid-day of Lent. It draws a connection between the bronze serpent lifted up by Moses to save the Israelites, and Jesus being lifted up on the cross to save humanity. The cross represents salvation, purification, and suffering for believers. It is a weapon against evil and a shield of salvation. The prayer asks God for wisdom to see crosses as a bridge to salvation, and for comfort in facing trials.
The bible refutes the crucifixion of jesus 1greatest man
The document argues that Jesus was not crucified based on accounts in the Holy Quran, Bible, and early Christian witnesses. It claims Christians inserted the concept of an "atoning God who died on the Cross" from Pagan doctrine into Christianity. Several passages from the Old Testament are cited as prophecies that God would save Jesus from being crucified, including Luke 4:10-12, Matthew 4:5-10, and Psalm 91.
We progress in our faith through perseverance. We each face trials, challenges, and uncertainty. We grow, not by giving up, but by facing these things head on through faith. We persevere through them.

Diskusi antara Anis Matta selaku Presiden PKS dan beberapa komentator mengenai dukungan PKS kepada capres nomor urut 02 Prabowo Subianto. Beberapa alasan yang disebutkan antara lain kekuatan Prabowo sebagai jenderal, komitmennya untuk kemakmuran rakyat, serta sifatnya yang dianggap setia.
James says that faith without deeds is dead (2:14-26). If we only think of faith as a set of beliefs or the correct doctrine, we have failed to exercise what faith really is--actions that grow out of our belief.
We need to combine our beliefs with actions that serve others.
Learn from the early church (Acts 4:23-31) how to move away from being merely a church that prays to a church that lives, breathes, and exists by prayer.
Good church leadership (shepherding) is godly, flock-focused, and selfless. In this sermon outline, I examine the bad shepherds in Ezekiel 34:1-16 and God's instructions to lead like he leads. I compare this with Peter's teaching to elders in 1 Peter 5:1-5.
Sometimes we think God's will is so mysterious that we doubt we'll ever find or understand it. But the bible is clear that God's will is both findable and understandable. We understand God's will in the gospel that provides us hope and teaches us to live sacrificially like Jesus, we experience his will in prayer and in spiritual growth that provides knowledge of him, and we express God's will when we bear fruit by serving others in love.
To grow spiritually, we need to regularly engage in four different areas of relationship: with God, with believers, with neighbors, and with strangers.
Paul teaches us that we can know if we're mature by whether we trust Jesus, are becoming more attached to him, and whether we keep pressing on. Those who are mature know this and act by it. If you do not know this, and/or you do not act by it, God will educate you further.
Loving God should be transformative, not transactional. In this sermon, learn the difference between the two and how the spiritual disciplines of bible reading, prayer, and worship can transform your relationship with God.
Transforming Our Love for Strangers through HospitalityJeremy Hoover
Peter used to eat with Gentiles but began separating himself when others from James arrived, out of fear of what they would think. The Bible says both to invite strangers in and warns against not inviting strangers in.
James teaches us how to live out our faith; as faith without works is dead. In this sermon, we look at James 2:1-13 and how loving the poor as our neighbor and avoiding favoritism are acts of faith.

This document provides an overview of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. It begins by describing how Jesus originally called ordinary men to follow him and how this changed their lives. It then defines a disciple as a student or follower who imitates their teacher. The document explains that to become a disciple of Jesus, one must repent of their sins and trust in Jesus' sacrifice on the cross to be saved. It emphasizes that salvation is by grace alone, not works, and that believing Jesus is Lord means viewing him as the master and owner of one's life.
The document discusses the Lord's Prayer, which Jesus taught his disciples. It provides the key elements of each phrase in the prayer. The Lord's Prayer is considered the perfect prayer and a summary of the Gospel. It addresses God as Father and contains seven petitions that teach Christians what they need to live holy lives, like hallowing God's name, praying for God's kingdom to come, and doing God's will on earth. The document examines the meaning behind phrases in the prayer.
The document discusses the many blessings that Christians receive through being "in Christ" according to the book of Ephesians. It outlines seven specific blessings: (1) the blessing of holiness, (2) the blessing of predestination, (3) the blessing of adoption, (4) the blessing of redemption, (5) the blessing of forgiveness, (6) the blessing of grace, and (7) the blessing of being sealed by the Holy Spirit. It emphasizes that all these blessings are only possible because of God's great love and are for the ultimate purpose of praising His glory.
1) Good works alone cannot save us or please God. Our righteous acts are like filthy rags compared to God's glory.
2) We are saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by our own works. Jesus's death and resurrection allow us to be declared righteous.
3) When we accept Christ, the Holy Spirit comes to live in us and changes our nature, enabling us to do good works that glorify God. Our priorities and desires change as we grow in relationship with God.
This document provides an introduction to spiritual gifts by exploring relevant scripture passages. It discusses that the Holy Spirit gives different gifts to believers to serve the church and build up the body of Christ. All Christians are united in Christ through baptism by the Holy Spirit. Believers experience unity in their fellowship, the Spirit, their hope, faith in Christ, baptism, and God as their Father. Spiritual gifts are received only by God's grace.
The document discusses how the Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, with Christ as the head and the Holy Spirit as the soul. It explains that through baptism, believers become part of Christ's spiritual body and are united with one another. Each member has different gifts from the Holy Spirit to contribute for the common good of building up the Church as Christ's presence in the world.
The document provides an overview for new members of Crossroads Christian Cathedral church, including procedures for new members, expectations of members, and introductions of the pastoral staff and their roles. Specifically, it outlines that new members will attend an orientation class and workshop, receive follow-up calls, and are expected to regularly attend services and become tithers and volunteers. It also lists the senior pastor and over 50 pastoral staff members and their various ministry roles.
The document is a summary of a sermon delivered at the Midway City Vietnamese Alliance Church English Worship Gathering on December 27, 2009. The sermon discusses practicing Jesus' life and why it can be difficult, focusing on the realities of sin and faith according to passages from 1 John. It also examines how Christians can grow spiritually through obedience to God's word and walking as Jesus did.
The Book Of Ephesians: Because You Are Saints, Live In The KingdomJAMES EUGENE BARBUSH
The Book Of Ephesians
Because You Are Saints, Live In The Kingdom
Paul, an apostle of Christ, speaks several excellent things in this book to the Ephesians. One of the striking things that he says is “Because of His love”.
There are several “because of” statements in this book, which led me to this “Because You Are Saints”. That means to me that “Because we are saints”, we should act in certain ways within The Kingdom of God.
Thus, “Because You Are Saints, Live In The Kingdom”. Because we are saints, things are expected from us such that we can live in the realm of The Kingdom of God, live in the realm of the supernatural.
That is a true blessing. This is only a brief statement about which there is surely an excellent message to be developed. I hope I can do that soon.
Ephesians 1:5
Because of His love
God had already decided that
through Jesus Christ
He would make us

ARTICLE FROM EBCWA, MIGHT BE USEFUL TO MANY WHO ARE INVOLVED IN LEADING FLOCK, BY THAT I MEAN SOULS. AS WE APPROACH THE END LOT OF BLINDS HAVE FLOODED THE CHURCH FOR FINANCIAL GAIN. THIS MIGHT THROW SOME LIGHT TO MANY....
The document discusses a speech given at a Unification Church service in Seoul, Korea. It begins by mentioning a recent earthquake in Haiti where church members there survived unharmed despite a building collapsing on them. The speaker then discusses the challenges of fulfilling the will of a living messiah, as the Unification Church aims to do. He shares how the Korean church underwent restructuring in 2009, letting go of over 100 ministers, merging 200 churches, and becoming financially self-sufficient rather than relying on subsidies from other churches. It was a difficult process but important for the church's growth.
The document discusses the anointing of the Holy Spirit. It describes how Jesus was anointed by the Holy Spirit to bring good news to the poor, proclaim freedom to prisoners, and serve the oppressed. It emphasizes that Christians must also be anointed by the Holy Spirit to walk as Jesus walked, love as he loved, and have power to be witnesses. Receiving the Holy Spirit gives new spiritual life, empowers believers, and teaches and guides them in all truth.
The document discusses the Jewish marriage custom and its parallels to developing a "bridal character" as Christians await Christ's return. It explains that in the Jewish tradition, a bride underwent a 12-month beauty treatment including 6 months with myrrh and 6 months with perfumes and cosmetics to prepare her for marriage. Spiritually, this represents a two-part process for Christians of undergoing trials to put the "old nature" to death, followed by immersing oneself in God's love, thanksgiving, prayer and other "sweet odors" to become beautiful for Christ. The document encourages Christians to go through this "bridal bath" to properly prepare as a spotless bride for Christ's return.
In the early church, Confirmation was often given soon after Baptism. This showed the close connection between the two sacraments. While in some places today Confirmation occurs long after Baptism, it is important to remember the sacraments are linked. Confirmation completes the initiation process begun at Baptism and seals the baptized with a special character. It gives Christians a mission to act on behalf of the Church through the power of the Holy Spirit.
This document discusses the philosophy of worship. It begins by explaining that humans were created by God to be in relationship with Him and worship Him. However, sin disrupted this relationship. The document then examines why we worship (to be in relationship with God), what we gain from worship (healing, formation), where worship can take place (not just buildings), and how worship should be structured (with a four-part pattern of gathering, hearing, responding, blessing). The goal of Christian leaders should be to guide congregations in meaningful worship that strengthens their relationship with God.
This document discusses the concept of the "bridal generation" or the "bride of Christ". It argues that not all Christians are automatically part of the bride, and outlines 10 qualities that characterize the bride, including purity, righteousness, devotion to Christ, and readiness. It clarifies that both men and women can take on a bridal identity by imitating qualities like David's intimacy with God. The document aims to transform Christians from a passive church identity to one modeled after an eager bride prepared for her groom, Jesus Christ.
Similar to Submit to Jesus' Authority and Live Like Him (20)
This document compares the missions of Jesus and Paul based on six criteria: receiving the power of the Holy Spirit at the beginning of their ministries, confronting and overcoming demonic powers, preaching about scripture's fulfillment in Jesus, an initial positive response, and rejection by their countrymen. Both Jesus and Paul displayed these similarities in their missions according to the biblical passages cited.
The document discusses 4 transformational relationships that can cultivate spiritual growth: relationships with God, believers, neighbors, and strangers. It provides the core thought, key scripture, actions, and examples for each relationship type to guide spiritual development through both inward reflection and outward service. Maintaining these four types of relationships can help one cooperate with God in spiritual growth.
In this sermon, we'll examine how we often use the word "church" to refer to a building. But this creates passiveness in us. God wants us to be active--he is actively forming and shaping us into his holy temple where he dwells. We need to be active, to participate, and to add value.
The document discusses being rich toward God rather than material wealth. It warns that a divided mind with divided loyalties created by desiring a divided inheritance leads to worry instead of dependence on God. People are encouraged to guard against all kinds of greed and be rich in their relationship with God.
To grow from reading God's word we must see it as valuable, humbly seek God, and be moved to action as a result of our reading. Learn how to start growing spiritually with 4 simple steps, presented at the end of the lesson.
Too often, church relationships contain conflict. Paul teaches us how to overcome our differences and live like Jesus by working for oneness with one another, looking to others' interests first, and becoming obedient through service.
To grow spiritually, one must create a spiritual growth plan, focus on next steps, and take action. A spiritual growth plan involves loving God and others, as Jesus taught. It is important to focus on next steps of obedience to God's word rather than just listening. Taking action requires training through spiritual disciplines. The document encourages creating a plan, focusing on next steps, and taking action to grow spiritually.
Improper bible reading gives up on the bible too easily, focuses too much on acquiring knowledge, and promotes pride. Proper bible reading, on the other hand, transforms you: it leads to worship, good works, and stronger faith. Be transformed by reading the bible, making a plan to minister, and taking action.
Competition with other Christians is dangerous and does not achieve anything useful. The Spirit gives us gifts so we can cooperate in ministry and achieve the common good. How are you contributing?
This document contrasts sincere and insincere worshipers based on their actions. It notes that insincere worshipers, like King Herod, use people and the Bible for selfish purposes and are disturbed by sincere seekers of Jesus, while sincere worshipers search for Jesus, take guidance from the Bible, and follow God's lead to worship Jesus with their gifts.

So let us turn the pages of ancient Indian literature and get to know more about Agni, the mighty purifier of all things, worshipped in Indian culture as a God since the Vedic time.

The Book of Ruth is included in the third division, or the Writings, of the Hebrew Bible. In most Christian canons it is treated as one of the historical books and placed between Judges and 1 Samuel.

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
