How Can I Have Faith?
Based on the Alpha course. Faith is acting on what we believe is true and will happen. Three factors enable us to have faith, the promises of God in the Bible, the reputation of God in the past and the testimony of others and personal experience. Small steps of trust lead to bigger steps.
Trusting in HIS will
In this lesson we give reasons to trust in God and His will. We also examine our will in comparison to His will. Both slides and and audio can be enjoyed at www.cmcoc.org
Sermon by: Brian Birdow
How Does God Guide Us?
Want wants to speak to us. We need to ask Him and train our selves to recognize when God communicates with us. There are seven ways He normally communicates with us. His voice, His written word, Your heart, prophecy, dreams, visions or circumstances.
What direction
The document discusses the importance of looking in the right direction both literally and spiritually. It provides biblical examples of people who looked in the wrong direction, such as Lot's wife who looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt, and the Israelites who complained about their food and longed for what they had in Egypt. However, it also gives examples of people who looked in the right direction, such as Abraham and Moses who considered themselves pilgrims in this world and looked forward to the eternal city of God, and Paul who gave up everything to gain Christ. Christians are encouraged to look above and focus on eternal rewards rather than temporary things.
The Walk of the Believer---Ephesians 2
The Walk of the Believer--Ephesians 2. Sometimes life as a believer is hard. The Book of Ephesians provides us with some valuable tools that will help us with our daily walk with the Lord.
In Lifes Journey
This document discusses the importance of having the right destination and focus in life. It emphasizes seeking God's kingdom and righteousness first according to Jesus. Each stage of life is part of God's calling and Christians should focus on ministry, growth, and following God's leading rather than money or careers. While the eternal destination of glorifying God is important, the journey itself prepares us for that destination as God shapes us through experiences. Every stop along the journey offers opportunities for dealing with brokenness or experiencing God's blessing.
Leap of-faith-flexibility group
1) The document discusses how both Jesus and Paul were willing to adapt themselves and their identities for the sake of bringing others to Christ. They surrendered their rights and status to serve others in humility.
2) It encourages readers to follow their example by becoming flexible in how they see themselves and willing to interact with people outside their comfort zones, in order to help spread the gospel message.
3) Taking such a leap of faith requires giving up one's focus on their own reputation and priorities and instead concentrating fully on serving and loving others.

Acts 14.1-14 Paul in Iconium
Paul travels to Iconium. Some embrace Paul while others do not. Acts teaches us to avoid Polarized thinking "Us" and "Them" because followers of Jesus are not always outsiders. Acts teaches us to be selective who we engage and look for opportunities for the gospel.
Hebrews 11.8 22
By faith, Abraham obeyed God's call to leave his home and travel to the promised land, even though it meant becoming a stranger and outsider who lived in tents. His faith was focused on God's character and promise, causing him to obey despite the difficulties of waiting for God's promises to be fulfilled. The patriarchs like Abraham lived as examples of faith that pleased God, dying in faith before seeing the promises realized but assured in their hope through Jesus.
Finish well - Redeemer Scrum June 2014
1) The document contrasts the legacies of King Asa and the Apostle Paul, who both started well but finished differently. Asa started by purging idolatry but later disobeyed God, while Paul went from persecuting Christians to being martyred for spreading the gospel.
2) It argues that one's legacy is determined not by how they started, but by how they finish following God. It encourages taking steps daily to finish well like Paul rather than finishing badly by abandoning faith like Asa.
3) The conclusion asks what legacy the reader will leave by how they finish their journey with God.
Incarnation December 4 2005
The document discusses Jesus coming into the world to save sinners. It encourages Christians to go out into the world like Jesus did, mixing with people freely and understanding their situations, thinking and feelings. Christians should not wait for people to come to church but should actively go out into the world as Jesus did to share the message of salvation.
How Do I Tell Others About Jesus
E tell others about Jesus because we are excited and full of joy and want others to experience the same. Everybody is on a spiritual journey either toward god or away from God. The love of Jesus can be seen by what we do, what we say and and the demonstration of the power of God to heal and answer prayer.The most powerful testimony is the way we live our lives.
Acts 17:5 opposition to the gospel
The document summarizes Paul's experience preaching the gospel in Thessalonica as recounted in Acts 17:1-7. It says that Paul reasoned with Jews in the synagogue for three Sabbaths, persuading some Jews and devout Greeks. However, other Jews became jealous and stirred up a mob. When they could not find Paul, they dragged Jason and other believers before the city authorities, accusing them of acting against Caesar's decrees. The document then discusses different types of opposition to spreading the gospel according to Acts 17, including spiritual, external from people, and internal opposition.

It outlines that the sermon discusses 3 ministries: 1) Jesus' ministry to Jews and Gentiles, 2) Paul's ministry to Jews and Gentiles, and 3) the Gentiles' ministry to Jews.

Paul traveled over 1,400 miles from Jerusalem to Illyricum fully proclaiming the gospel through signs, wonders and the Holy Spirit's power.
Why Witness?
1) Witnessing is commanded by God and sharing the gospel message is urgent as people's lives and souls are at stake.
2) Christians have a responsibility to verbally declare the good news of salvation and not just rely on good works alone.
3) Witnessing is an act of worship that glorifies God and shows non-believers how wonderful he is.

Being grateful
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 concerning our perspective on "Being Grateful , When the World is Hateful".
If you know me , then you know I that myself and many others spent this week at FC Alabama Camp , serving the cause of Christ and serving kids from 4th grade though 12th. Though , incredibly difficult and grueling at times - it is by far the most rewarding and spiritually uplifting experiences I have ever engaged in and I look forward to it every year.
I look forward to it for many reasons , but mostly for a respite from the world and the ever seemingly downward spiral mankind is on... But not even this week - a week filled with Godly focus and spiritually driven purpose could I escape the horrors of this weeks shootings and outrage.
In a time when I am usually able to escape the troubles of man's appetite for sin and its destruction , it found me and shame on me for letting it... Its hard to be grateful when the world is so hateful.
Even more surprising was much of the backlash I received from a few who were bothered by the fact that I was bothered. I didnt want to hear of the tragic events unfolding this week , much less see videos spread depicting them... not this week , and though it is only a wish - not ever.
But that is not reality... and in a moment of disgust and down heartedness - I ached.
I ached for Heaven. I ached to be with my God . I want so bad to leave this place for the one to come and then , in that small moment I remembered that one day I will , for "He has promised , and I believe".
My Hope was renewed and my Gratitude returned.

03-22-20, Romans 3;19-4;4, Justified
This document is a transcript of a sermon about how believers can glorify God through faith alone rather than works. It discusses how the law reveals human sinfulness but does not justify. The sermon says true faith in God pleases Him and brings glory to Him, as exemplified by Abraham, who believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. In contrast, trying to add works to faith undermines God's grace and tries to steal His glory. The conclusion is that we glorify God by accepting salvation as a free gift of grace through faith in Christ alone.
03-22-20, Romans 3;19-4;4, Justified
This document provides a summary of a sermon given on Romans 3:19-4:4 about justification through faith alone. The sermon makes several key points:
1) The law reveals our sin but cannot justify us or make us righteous. Faith in Jesus Christ alone justifies us and brings God's righteousness.
2) All people have sinned and fall short of God's glory, but through faith in Jesus, God imputes his righteousness to believers, apart from works.
3) Believing God and having faith in him alone brings him glory. Faith pleases God and is the only way to be made righteous in his sight. Works cannot save and would rob God of glory.

The document discusses the concept of worship. Some key points made include:
1) True worship is giving worth and value to God with our whole lives centered around Him, not ourselves. It involves an experiential relationship with God in both spirit and truth.
2) Idolatry is at the root of all sin, as we were created to worship and will worship something. If not God, we will worship other things that can lead to our ruin.
3) Jesus demonstrated true worship is found in Him as the image of God, and that we should worship in response to witnessing who He is and what He has done, not for personal gain or experiences. Our goal should be to reflectSunday school lesson_2010_05_09

Each day more were added as they were saved. The early church experienced consistent fellowship, were aware of and helped meet each other's needs, and were accepting of all peoples.

The document summarizes Paul's response to an insurgency against him by Jews in Jerusalem. They accused Paul falsely and stirred up a crowd against him. To counter this, Paul requested to speak to the people and made a personal connection by speaking to the crowd in Hebrew. He admitted that he was not entirely in the right previously but that God had changed his heart and mind through a vision. This diffused the insurgency without further conflict.
Sunday School Lesson 2010 08 08
The document contains multiple passages from the book of Acts describing an incident where Paul was arrested in Jerusalem after Jews from Asia stirred up a crowd by falsely accusing him of defiling the temple. The crowd seized Paul and began beating him but Roman soldiers intervened and arrested Paul to determine what was happening. Paul was then given permission to address the crowd in Aramaic, recounting his conversion experience and missionary work, but the crowd responded angrily and wanted to kill him.

The document describes the biblical story of God commanding Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. It summarizes that Abraham demonstrated his faith and obedience to God by: 1) answering God's call to sacrifice Isaac, 2) listening to and following God's command to go to Moriah and sacrifice his son, 3) preparing to sacrifice Isaac with the wood and fire he brought, and 4) trusting that God would provide the sacrifice when he questioned where the lamb was, believing God would provide. In the end, God stopped Abraham from sacrificing Isaac and provided a ram as the sacrifice instead.
Acts lesson 6
The passage describes how Philip the evangelist spread the gospel among the Samaritans and to an Ethiopian eunuch. It discusses how persecution led believers to spread the word wherever they went, including Philip's ministry in Samaria where many Samaritans believed and were baptized. It then tells of Philip's encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch while traveling, where he explained the gospel to him from Isaiah, and the eunuch believed and was baptized.
Acts lesson 5
Stephen was the first martyr of the Christian church. He was described as being full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom. When enemies of Christianity could not argue against Stephen's preaching, they had him stoned to death. However, Stephen's death promoted the mission and growth of the church. His martyrdom inspired the conversion of Saul and led to the scattering of disciples who spread the gospel message.
Acts Lesson 4
The passage describes how Satan attacked the early church in three ways after they received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost: physical persecution, moral corruption through Ananias and Sapphira lying about their gift, and finally distraction by trying to get the apostles focused on administrative tasks rather than prayer and preaching. Each attack was overcome as God judged Ananias and Sapphira, restrained further persecution under Gamaliel, and the apostles delegated administrative duties to allow their focus on ministry.
Acts Lesson 3 Questions
Chapter 3 discusses Peter and John. They were going to the temple when they encountered a man begging at the Beautiful Gate who was blind. Peter said to the man "silver and gold I do not have, but what I have I give you." Once healed, the man went into the temple courts praising God. The Apostles were put in jail until the next day for proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead before the priests, captain of the temple guard, and Sadducees.
Acts Lesson 3
The religious leaders in Jerusalem grew resistant to the gospel message being proclaimed by the apostles and the signs and wonders they performed. After Peter healed a crippled man, he preached to the crowds about Jesus, angering the religious authorities. When Peter and John were arrested, the early believers prayed, praising God's sovereignty and asking for boldness to continue preaching about Jesus despite persecution.
Acts Lesson 1
The document summarizes the first chapter of Acts, focusing on Jesus equipping the apostles for ministry through promising them the Holy Spirit. It describes how the apostles prayed together in Jerusalem as they waited for Pentecost. When Judas betrayed Jesus, they chose Matthias to replace him based on qualifications of being with them from Jesus' baptism to resurrection. The stage is now set for the apostles to receive power from the Holy Spirit to be Jesus' witnesses.
