Beneath the surface
This document discusses the importance of purity of heart and seeing God. It explains that purity of heart means having a single-minded devotion to God without hypocrisy or divided allegiance.

The document emphasizes that true purity comes from within, not just external actions, and requires cleansing both our hands and hearts through drawing near to God with our whole selves.

The document provides guidance on guarding one's heart in an impure world. It discusses accepting the call to be holy, being aware of one's mind and motives, getting community support, avoiding "faux intimacy", making pure decisions in advance, watching one's surroundings/attire/music, and keeping a journal. The goal is to live discreetly and be set apart from the world through spiritual strength from God.
A Pure Heart
Maintaining a pure heart requires forgiveness of sins through obedience to God, and an ongoing process of transformation by renewing one's mind to God's teachings. It involves turning away from sinful influences, submitting to God's work within us, and sacrificing oneself while focusing on virtues. God purifies the heart as we allow Him to mold us into the likeness of Christ through His grace.

Blessed are the Pure in Heart

(Psa. 86:11; Ez. 11:19) Describe the condition of your heart. Why does God want our hearts, even more than our minds, emotions or behavior? (Prov. 4:23; 27:19; Jer. 29:13)

CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM - 1 In the Bible.pptx
This document discusses the Kingdom of Christ as presented in the Bible. It begins by examining the Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah's role as priest, prophet and king. Jesus fulfilled these prophecies. The document then examines passages from the Gospels where Jesus preaches about the Kingdom of God and uses parables to teach about it. It discusses how the Beatitudes and Jesus' miracles show the presence of the Kingdom. It concludes that the Kingdom will be definitively established by the cross of Christ.
Santo Nino A
Dear sisters and brothers,
Sto. Nino teaches us humility and tremendous ability to grow up in faith.

21st Sunday A
Jesus asks his disciples how people see him and who they say he is. When he asks who the disciples say he is, Simon Peter replies that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God. Jesus blesses Peter and tells him that upon this confession he will build his church, giving Peter the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven and authority to bind and loose on earth and heaven. Jesus then instructs his disciples not to tell others that he is the Messiah.
Sermon 05 02 10
The document discusses what Jesus has done through his life, death, and resurrection according to Christian theology. It states that Jesus came to reverse the effects of sin, overpower sin and death, and establish a new creation. It then lists some of the spiritual blessings believers have in Christ, such as life, adoption into God's family, redemption, forgiveness, and revelation of God's purposes. The document ends by reflecting on Paul's prayer in Ephesians that believers would know God's power at work through Christ's resurrection and exaltation over all things for the benefit of the church.
21st Sunday A
Beloved Brothers and Sisters,
It is very Important to Know & be Connected with Our Lord.
From the Heart,
Fr. Heart, SVD
1st november 2015
The document outlines the liturgy for a mass celebrating All Saints Day, including prayers, readings, and hymns of praise for God and the saints. It includes an Old Testament reading about God's servants being sealed on their foreheads, a New Testament reading about the hope of being like God, and a Gospel reading of Jesus teaching the Beatitudes.
Vocation to Beatitude
This document provides an overview of the Catholic Church's teachings on beatitude and the Beatitudes from the Catechism of the Catholic Church sections 1716-1738. It discusses how the Beatitudes fulfill God's promises to his people, order them to the Kingdom of Heaven rather than an earthly territory. It examines each of the individual Beatitudes and how they depict the nature of Jesus Christ and God's call to happiness. The Beatitudes respond to our natural desire for happiness and call us to purify our hearts and seek God above all else.

06 goodness
Psalm 107 praises God for his goodness and mercy in delivering people from distress, as seen in four examples of people crying out to God in the wilderness, darkness, affliction, and storms at sea, and God rescuing them each time. The psalmist repeatedly urges those delivered to give thanks to God and declare his wonderful works, and concludes by encouraging readers to heed God's lovingkindness and imitate his goodness in their own lives.
With eternity's values in view 5
This document is a sermon that analyzes and discusses the fourth beatitude from the Sermon on the Mount: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." The sermon examines what it means to hunger and thirst for righteousness, how one develops this desire, and what those with this hunger should do until they are satisfied. It uses examples from scripture and discusses how righteousness is an "acquired taste" that begins by claiming Christ's righteousness through faith.
Enjoy share love part 1 seth gatchell january 5 2020
Finding joy. Sometimes is SEEMS simple. Many times it seems quite elusive. Why is that? This week we'll look at: the kind of joy God wants to give us, the ways that we torpedo the very joy we know we want, our insistence and persistence on pursuing a different joy,how joy can stand next to our sadness and heartache, and how the gospel should fill us with joy!
God's Will And The Bible
Pastor Elio Marrocco's "God's Will And The Bible" sermon at New Life Christian Church on November 24, 2013. You can learn more about New Life Christian Church here: http://www.newlifecc.ca
Johns generation
1. The document discusses Jesus' criticism of the generation of his time for rejecting both the teachings of John the Baptist and himself. It says they thought both were wrong but that their teachings were justified by the repentance and renewal they brought.
2. It contrasts this with the counterfeit wisdom of the world that is concerned with riches and pride, noting how Satan fell from his original position through such corruption of wisdom.
3. It outlines Satan's five step fall from his original role as an anointed cherub to his future judgment in the lake of fire, going through stages of being cast down to earth and bound for set periods of time.
The Fruit of the Loom
This document contains 18 slides with Bible verses from both the Old and New Testaments. The verses discuss several key themes: that all Scripture is inspired by God; the word of God judges thoughts and intentions; Scripture provides instruction and hope; no prophecy comes from human interpretation but from the Holy Spirit; and Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. The overall message is about the divine authority and purpose of the Bible.
Call of duty : spiritual warfare
The document discusses the importance of preparing for the coming crisis and tests of faith. It warns that temptation will overcome those who do not recognize their dependence on God. True conversion means having a changed heart, mind, and life, not just feelings. Youth are encouraged to resist evil through studying the Scriptures and seeking God daily in prayer. Relying on oneself instead of God leaves one vulnerable to Satan's deception.
Pass on the baton
For a Christian man or woman, we have a task to be like a runner who is carrying a baton which is the faith in Jesus Christ. It is also important to pass the baton of faith to our children- no inheritance is more valuable than this. Our goal is to ensure that the baton of faith will be passed on from generation to generation so that God's 'Plan of Salvation" for the whole world is achieved.

Pentecost
This document provides the order of service for a Pentecost Sunday celebration. It includes readings from Acts 2 and John 16 about the coming of the Holy Spirit. It discusses how the Spirit filled the disciples and allowed them to speak in other languages. It also includes prayers, hymns, and the Apostles' Creed focusing on the Holy Spirit and the fulfillment of God's promises through Pentecost.
Acts 4, 32 27
This document discusses the marks of a gospel-centered church based on passages from Acts 4. It describes how the early church in Acts was of one heart and soul and shared possessions in common (unity), the apostles powerfully testified to Jesus' resurrection (testimony), there was no one in need as they generously shared their wealth (giving), and Barnabas, whose name means encourager, sold land and gave the money to the apostles (encouragement). Reclaiming gospel-centeredness involves enjoying these graces of unity, testimony, giving, and encouragement that flow from focusing on the gospel.

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
