The document summarizes a passage from Acts 7 about the history of Israel from Abraham to Moses. It describes how Jacob and his family moved to Egypt during a famine and lived there until a new king arose who did not know Joseph and made the Israelites slaves.

The document discusses motivating others to reach great destinies and influencing others positively. It describes how Caleb motivated the Israelites to take possession of the promised land, despite other spies spreading fear about its powerful inhabitants. Caleb said they could certainly defeat them with God's help. Similarly, Joshua and Caleb influenced the Israelites to have faith in God and not rebel, saying the land was excellent and God would help them overtake its people. They sought to counter the negative report and encourage the Israelites to believe in God and their destiny instead of being afraid.
The document discusses how Christians can help shape culture through modeling godly character, producing excellent work, showing grace and love, influencing culture, speaking truth and justice, and sharing the gospel message. It provides several biblical examples of people who impacted their culture, such as Paul in Athens and David in ancient Israel.

The document provides background on Isaiah chapters 24-27, known as the "Little Apocalypse". These chapters contain judgment oracles against nations and worldwide judgment to usher in God's kingdom. Chapters 24-27 focus on the theme of pride and the destruction that results from failing to acknowledge God. Key points include:
- The chapters reveal how the present world will be replaced by God's kingdom through apocalyptic imagery and metaphors.
- Babylon is used symbolically to represent human civilization in opposition to God, linking it to Revelation's depiction of Babylon as the seat of evil.
- The day of the Lord's judgment and salvation is described, both for Isaiah's time and a future
This document discusses the unstoppable multiplication of the Israelites in Egypt as described in Exodus 1. It makes the following key points:
- The Israelites multiplied greatly in Egypt as God commanded in Genesis 1:28. Their population grew so large that a new Pharaoh saw them as a threat and worried they would join Egypt's enemies.
- To try to stop their multiplication, Pharaoh subjected the Israelites to slavery and ordered the killing of all newborn Hebrew sons by throwing them into the Nile River. However, the more the Egyptians oppressed them, the more the Israelites multiplied.
- The midwives Shiphrah and Puah disobeyed Pharaoh's command to kill the boys
This document discusses how to kill giants according to biblical accounts. It describes various giants mentioned in the Bible such as the sons of Anak and King Og.

The document raises questions about facing our own challenges and teaching future generations to do the same with God's help.
A Calebite in the Bible refers to a descendant of Caleb, a brave and godly man from the tribe of Judah who encouraged the Israelites to take possession of Canaan. The term Calebite is only used once to refer to Nabal, a man described as surly, mean, and wicked. As a Calebite, Nabal was descended from Caleb but lacked his courage and faith. Nabal refused a request for provisions from David, almost leading David to destroy him, until Nabal's wife Abigail intervened to save him. Upon hearing of his actions, Nabal's heart failed and he died.
Exodus 13 - 15. The journey into the wilderness for Israel began with powerful demonstrations to Jehovah's power and love for his people, yet the people still struggled with fear and unbelief. It’s important that we constantly see our salvation and remember the power and love of the one who delivers us.
The Lord instructed Moses to send spies, one from each Israelite tribe, to explore the land of Canaan that God had promised to give them. The spies surveyed the land and people for 40 days. Upon their return, they reported that the land was indeed fertile and prosperous, "flowing with milk and honey." However, they exaggerated the strength of the people living there, saying they were like giants and the cities were heavily fortified. All the spies except Caleb and Joshua said the Israelites could not be victorious in taking the land. This negative report discouraged the people and weakened their faith in God's promise.

The Book of 2 Kings documents the downfall of Israel and Judah due to the disobedience of their kings and people. It describes how both kingdoms were destroyed - Israel by Assyria and Judah by Babylon - for turning away from worshipping God. There are three prominent themes: God judges disobedience, the words of prophets always come to pass, and God remains faithful to His promises despite the people's sins. Key figures like Elisha performed miracles foreshadowing Jesus, who showed compassion for the weak and oppressed. The book serves as a warning that God will discipline His people for sin but remains faithful to those who obey Him.
Herod consulted the Old Testament prophecies to learn that the Messiah was prophesied to be born in Bethlehem.

The document provides an introduction and summary of Judges 1-3 from the Bible. It discusses how after Joshua's death, the Israelites did not fully drive the Canaanites from the Promised Land and compromised with their enemies.

1. Accusation - The Israelites accused Moses of taking them from Egypt to die in the wilderness instead of remaining slaves.
2. Acquiescence - Moses told the Israelites to stand still and see God deliver them, but some may have gone through the motions without true faith.
3. Action - God commanded Moses to lift his rod and divide the sea so the Israelites could pass through on dry land to safety, demonstrating the response of obedient action.

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

them, “Why have you done this, and let the male
children live?”

vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to
them.” 20 So God dealt well with the midwives. And the
people multiplied and grew very strong.

“How is it that you have come home so soon today?”
19 They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of
the shepherds and even drew water for us and watered the

Isaac, and with Jacob. 25 God saw the people of Israel—
and God knew.

1. What are some issues, influences, or temptations in
your school that you need to take a stand for or stand
against?
2. Have you ever had an opportunity to stand up for
someone and failed to do it?
3. Does sin ever feel like it has a hold of you and make
you do things you don’t want to do?
4. How does centering our life on God and the cross of
Christ bring freedom to our lives?
