Sabbath school lesson 1, 3rd quarter 2020
God desires for all people to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. His greatest motivation for offering salvation is His immense love for all humanity. He wants His children to come home as soon as possible. God reveals Himself through nature, circumstances, and Jesus, but He has chosen believers to announce and share the plan of salvation with others in order to offer salvation, make God glad by bringing Him joy, help believers grow spiritually, obey Jesus' commandment to spread the gospel, and share God's love for all people.
In The Likeness Of God
This document explores what it means for humans to be created in the image and likeness of God, as described in Genesis 1:26. It references several Bible passages about humanity's creation from dust, God breathing life into humans, humans being lower than heavenly beings but having eternity in their hearts. The document examines the dual nature of humans as physical beings that die but also having immortal souls, and what it means for humans to gain the world but forfeit their souls. The overall message is to understand humanity's relationship to God by examining what the Bible says about being created in God's image.
Getting to Know God - The Application
This lesson was presented at the conclusion of a series on Getting to Know God. A few of the Hebrew words for God were examined to gain insight into the characteristics of God and this lesson was designed to challenge the membership to practice them.
The Unpractical Truth Of God
The document discusses the unpractical truth of God's love for humanity. It notes that while creation was made in shalom and goodness, it was fractured by sin. However, God remains just and good, and Christ redeemed all of creation. A new world is coming as our lives tell the story of God unfolding, with or without us. The document offers two unpractical responses: God-centered repentance that leads to Christ as Lord, and finding God-centered joy.
Church Sermon: The True Witness
The document discusses the importance of being a witness for God. It references several Bible passages about witnesses, including Paul being called as an apostle and witness, and how the Holy Spirit is a witness. The document urges readers to be a true witness by opening people's eyes to the light of God, turning them from Satan's power to receive forgiveness from God. It encourages readers to stand up and be a witness to their family, friends, and others.
03 god or mammon
The document discusses choosing between serving God or money. It notes that Jesus teaches that one cannot serve both God and money, as they are competing masters. It then discusses how God created all things, including riches on Earth, but that humans have corrupted riches by using them for evil rather than glorifying God. It also discusses how Jesus redeemed humanity through his death on the cross by paying the debt of sin we could not pay. The conclusion emphasizes that we do not truly own anything and must surrender our whole hearts to God to avoid idolizing riches over God.
Sabbath school lesson 12, 2nd quarter of 2016
1) Mary anointed Jesus with expensive oil shortly before his death, which the disciples saw as a waste but Jesus saw as an act of gratitude.
2) The passage discusses how people used their free will to relate to Jesus before his death - Mary honored him, leaders condemned him, Judas betrayed him, and Peter denied him.
3) It asks the reader to consider how they will use their free will to respond to Jesus - with a grateful heart or not.
The God Moment
Peter and John are questioned by the priests and the captain of the temple guard about their preaching and healing of the lame man. Peter boldly proclaims that it was done in the name and power of Jesus Christ. He tells them that salvation is only found through Jesus. When threatened by the religious leaders, Peter and John are released because of the people's support for them.

Sabbath school lesson 9, 3rd quarter of 2016
Jesus ministered to people's needs by accepting interruptions, asking about their needs, and addressing their deepest needs. He showed compassion by letting people express themselves and listening to their concerns. The example of Dorcas, who helped the poor and widows, demonstrates how the church can take action to help those in need. Effective ministry involves consecration, strategic planning based on biblical principles and community needs, and commitment to carrying out plans with God's help.
What we can really hold onto in the storms of life
God chose us to be His children and is preparing us to rule with Jesus eternally. God knows every detail of our lives and loves us completely as unique individuals. In contrast, idols of dead gods cannot see, hear or help their worshippers. True life comes from knowing the true God intimately through prayer, listening to Him, and asking questions to develop a close relationship.
Sabbath school lesson 8, 4th quarter of 2015
Manasseh was king of Judah and led the people to commit many sins, including child sacrifice. Though Manasseh later repented, the people remained deeply influenced by evil. Manasseh's son Amon continued the sins and did not repent as his father had. Josiah later became king at a young age and sought to reform Judah, first purging the land of idols and pagan sites. Upon finding the Book of Law, Josiah was deeply moved and led the people in renewing their covenant with God. Josiah enacted many religious reforms to remove pagan influences from Judah.
Agents of Change 4 2-2014
This document discusses how receiving the word of God causes one to go through a change process. It notes that whatever one believes, they become one with, and were designed to go where they see.

God Is Your Father
This document discusses the similarities between Moses and Jesus through a summary of Acts 7:20-43. It notes that both Moses and Jesus were no ordinary children, faced danger as infants, were known for wisdom, were powerful in speech and action, showed anger at sin, were sent to rescue God's people but not initially recognized, aimed for reconciliation, were described as rulers and judges, heard God's voice, recognized God's presence is not limited to locations, set people free from oppression, were misunderstood and rejected by their own people, and succeeded in delivering God's people despite initial rejection. It encourages putting trust in God as our Father.
Know Your Purpose, Enjoy Your Future
This document discusses finding and fulfilling one's purpose and future as set by God. It asserts that each person has a unique purpose and destiny appointed by God. To experience God's promises for the future, one must erase the past from their mind, envision what God will do in the future, and establish priorities like focusing on God's work. Fulfilling God's purpose will lead to enjoying God's promises like protection, fulfillment, favor, fruitfulness, good health, prominence and abundance. The key is to embrace one's calling, teach others about being a disciple, and go forward in life rather than stand still or fall behind.
Sabbath school lesson 13, 1st quarter of 2016
The document summarizes key events from the book of Revelation about the end times:
1) Satan will be chained for 1,000 years during the Millennial Judgment, when the saints will reign with Christ and judge the wicked.

3) God will then create a new heaven and new earth without sin, where the holy city of New Jerusalem descends and God dwells with his people, wiping away all tears forever.

All Things to All Men
Here’s a look at how we can reach other people, by using Paul’s visit to the Areopagus as an example.
The Two series: Part 2 - Bruce McCallum - 9 February 2020
The passage describes two types of people - those who hear Jesus' words and put them into practice, and those who only hear them but do not practice them. It compares the former to a wise man who built his house on a solid rock foundation, allowing it to withstand storms, while the latter are like a foolish man who built on sand, causing his house to collapse in the storms. When Jesus finished speaking, the crowds were amazed by his teaching.

Die mens wat god behaag
This document discusses the importance of faith from several Bible verses. It emphasizes that without faith it is impossible to please God, and that faith works through love.

The document encourages having faith in action by speaking God's word and believing without wavering.
Sekolah Sabat - Triwulan 3 Pelajaran 1.
God's greatest desire is to save all people through His love. He wants believers to share the good news of salvation with others so that all people can hear the gospel and have an opportunity to accept eternal life. Witnessing brings joy to God's heart and is rewarding for believers as well, as they can see people opening their hearts to salvation. God commands believers to share the gospel with all people and patiently waits for them to fulfill this mission out of their love for Him in response to His love for humanity.
If we don’t, He won’t
1. Prayer is important because God desires partnership with humanity, and will not act without human cooperation and prayer.
2. Several biblical examples show God changing His mind and altering His plans when people pray, including Noah appealing during the Flood, Moses interceding for Israel during the golden calf incident, and Hezekiah receiving more years of life.
3. The passage calls the church to pray on behalf of the land, as history belongs to people who pray, and prayer can shift destruction to beauty when people repent as in the story of Jonah and Nineveh.
Need a Church Family?
This message was presented during our Friends and Family day. We had many visitors present and this lesson was to encourage those who did not have a church family.
A Church on the Fence - Laodicea
The document discusses the church in Laodicea that was lukewarm in their faith, neither fully devoted to God nor rejecting him. Christ rebukes them for their half-hearted faith and urges them to buy gold, white garments, and eye salve to strengthen their faith. He warns that because they are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, he will reject them unless they become fully devoted believers who overcome spiritual complacency.

1st john the father
God is the perfect, holy and righteous judge. As judge, He created the world and humanity, which were originally good, but also gave the perfect law which people are unable to keep due to human weakness. While deserving wrath for disobedience, God is gracious and patient, choosing to show mercy to believers. As the perfect creator and judge, humans are in no position to question God or His actions, which are always just and for His good purposes.
God's Amazing Plan of Redemption
An overview of the bible
Since the beginning of time, there has been a plan for Jesus and our souls. God’s plan is revealed throughout the entire Bible! Many view the Old and New Testaments as unrelated, but there is an amazing message that begins in the Old Testament and carries through to the New Testament. The message is of God’s love and man’s redemption. That is what this booklet is about. I hope it will be an encouragement to you.
If you have any questions about the material in this booklet or would like to study further, please get into contact with me.
My gospel illustration
This is an illustration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ showing the barriers that existed between man and God and what God accomplished through the death, burial and resurrection and Jesus Christ, removing each and every barrier.
13 christ kindom and law
Jesus was tempted by Satan to receive power and authority over all the earthly kingdoms if he bowed down and worshipped Satan instead of remaining faithful to God's law. Jesus resisted this temptation in order to fulfill God's plan of salvation and defeat Satan. As a result of Jesus' victory, believers have assurance that they too can become citizens of God's eternal kingdom if they accept Jesus and obey God's law, being washed from sin. Only those who are righteous through faith in Christ can inherit the kingdom of God. God's law will still exist in the eternal kingdom, ensuring there is no more death or sin.
Big picture ppt flip charts
The document discusses the gospel message found throughout the Bible. It describes how the gospel is presented with one unified theme across 66 books, written over 1500 years in 3 languages on 3 continents. The gospel's central message is that all have sinned and fallen short of God's holiness, but God provided a way of salvation through the blood of Christ, who lived a sinless life and died as the perfect sacrifice to pay the penalty for sin. The document explains how believers must respond to the gospel through faith, which involves repentance from sin and baptism to be united with Christ's death and receive forgiveness and new life.
9. fruit of the spirit self-control
The document discusses self-control, which is identified as a fruit of the Spirit. It provides several biblical references to self-control and defines it as mastery over one's desires and passions. The document outlines how self-control relates to sacrificial service, spiritual warfare over the mind and body, and enabling godly living through God's grace. Exercising self-control is important for withstanding worldly and fleshly temptations and remaining focused on doing God's will.
Heaven sermon1
The document discusses biblical passages about heaven and the afterlife. It suggests that heaven will involve God coming down to live with humans on a new earth, not humans going up to an unearthly realm. Satan has distorted views of heaven by lying about God, God's people, and their place. Ultimately, Christ's redemptive work will culminate in a new heaven and new earth where there will no longer be any curse or death.
Suffering and Our Sovereign God
This is the fourth and last message in the sermon series for March 2017 at Abundant Life Fellowship in Chesapeake, VA. The Lord gave me great grace to prepare and give this message. Some of the best of what I have learned and lived in the last 70 years is in this message on this topic. I hope it gives you insight into how an all-powerful God sees the suffering of His people.
Is god all powerful
God balances justice and mercy through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. As an all-powerful and just God, he must punish all sin. But he is also merciful. By taking on the punishment himself through his death, Jesus satisfied justice so that God can forgive through grace. Those who accept Jesus are no longer under law but under grace, with their sins paid for fully. This allows God to both punish sin and forgive sinners according to his perfect nature.
Unquenchable - A Discussion about Hell
God is both good and just. Eternal punishment for sin is consistent with God's holy nature, as he cannot tolerate wickedness. Physical death separates the soul from the body, and spiritual death separates people from God. The Bible describes hell as eternal punishment and torment for those who die spiritually separated from God. However, through Jesus's sacrifice on the cross, salvation and reconciliation with God is available to all who have faith in him. Those who do not obey God and reject this salvation will face eternal punishment in hell.
Our righteous judge
1) The document discusses understanding God as our creator, loving father, and righteous judge. It talks about God creating the world, calling believers his children, and judging all people's deeds.
2) It emphasizes running the spiritual race and preparing for judgment by putting faith in Jesus. When Christ returns, he will resurrect believers to eternal life and unbelievers to damnation.
3) The righteous judge, Jesus, will evaluate each person's deeds and reward believers who love his return with the gift of eternal life.
Sermon Slide Deck: "Dealing With Temptation" (Matthew 6:5-13)
The small choices we make in the face of temptation tell the big story of our lives.
This message was given on April 19, 2015 at New City Church in Calgary by Pastor John Ferguson. For more info please visit: www.newcitychurch.ca
Heaven is yes, cheap enough
This document contains excerpts from Ellen G. White's writings and visions that discuss the concept that "Heaven is cheap enough." It describes a vision she had of the tree of life with fruit that looked like gold and silver. It discusses how the trials and afflictions faced in this life are but for a moment compared to the eternal rewards of heaven. Several passages encourage Christians to persevere through hardships, noting that heaven will be worth any cost and that an eternal weight of glory awaits those who are faithful. The document emphasizes that heaven is worth pursuing above all earthly pleasures or gains.
New Covenant Blessings
The document compares key differences between the Old and New Covenants. The Old Covenant was based on law and demanded vengeance for sin, while the New Covenant is based on grace, forgiveness, and redemption through Jesus' sacrifice. It emphasizes that believers are saved by God's mercy and grace rather than works, and are called to live holy lives empowered by the Holy Spirit dwelling within them as temples of God.
Session 9 Overcoming through Intercessory Prayer 7 m Culture Shapers MasterClass
This document provides an overview of a master class on overcoming through intercessory prayer and community transformation. Some key points:
1) Intercessory prayer is spiritual warfare against principalities and powers, as we wrestle not against flesh and blood.
2) Man plays a key role in fulfilling God's plan and will on earth, and God has given authority and responsibility to mankind through Jesus.
3) Effective intercession requires understanding our roles and responsibilities as both kings and priests, working in the inner court through spiritual warfare and the outer court through our public callings.
4) Transforming communities requires apostolic leadership, intercessors, and marketplace leaders working together in spiritual authority through prayer
Lesson 15 revelation seminars god's merciful judgment
1. The document discusses God's merciful judgement, focusing on the three phases of judgement: pre-second advent judgement, judgement during the 1000 years, and judgement at the close of the 1000 years.
2. It explains that the judgement began in 1844 in heaven and addresses many questions about who will judge, what the standards are, who our advocate is, and what the sources of evidence will be.
3. It provides assurance that God knows our hearts fully but that the judgement is for our benefit and that of others, to see God's justice and fairness in saving some and destroying others.
Hebrews 9 And 10 Final
1) The document discusses the superiority of Jesus's priesthood and sacrifice compared to the Old Testament priesthood and sacrifices. It emphasizes that Jesus's sacrifice was perfect and only needed to be done once for all time.
2) Key aspects highlighted include Jesus passing through the heavens as our great High Priest, His blood cleansing our consciences from sin, and His sacrifice taking away sin once for all in contrast to the yearly sacrifices under the Old Covenant.
3) The document urges believers to hold fast to their confession in Jesus and draw near to God, since through Jesus's sacrifice we now have confidence to enter God's presence.
How Can A Loving God Send People To Hell
The document discusses the question of how God can be all-loving yet send people to Hell for eternity. It provides several key points:
1) The Bible clearly teaches the reality of Hell as the final punishment for those who reject God. Hell is prepared for Satan and demons but now serves as the eternal fate for the unrepentant.
2) God desires all people to be saved but also demands justice for sin. Hell's purpose is to punish evil and allow free will, not to torture people endlessly.
3) While God wants salvation for all, people willingly choose Hell by rejecting Him. Only eternal punishment fits sins against an eternal God. Hell is "locked from the inside
Ten words of grace #6 june 26, 2011
This document discusses the sixth commandment "You shall not murder" from the Heidelberg Catechism. It explores what exactly is prohibited by this commandment, why God forbids murder, and the implications for how we should treat all people with dignity, respect, and compassion. Key points include that human life is sacred as it is created by God, murder is unlawfully taking a life as defined by Scripture, and Jesus calls us to love even our enemies instead of harboring anger or hatred towards others.

Becoming a People of Prayer
The document provides guidance on how to become a person of prayer. It begins with Jesus' model prayer from the book of Matthew. It then defines prayer as communication with God where one requests things from God, praises God, and addresses God. It encourages meditating on God and prioritizing his word. It advises talking to God daily by sharing problems, thanks, and sins. It suggests connecting with God, daring to pray like Daniel, and praying thankfully, in difficult times, and encouraging others, as Paul did.
Reaching Out to a Troubled World
This lesson was presented at the Gadsden Church of Christ on March 15th to share the need to reach out to the world. Mathew 14:22-32 as the text. As Jesus reached out to a sinking Peter, we need to reach out to a troubled world.

It's All Good - Romans 8:28
God's definition of good is conformity to his will in order to live with him eternally. Several verses in Romans chapter 8 qualify this, explaining that through the Holy Spirit, believers can realize God's goodness and strengthen their relationship with him. Specifically, the Spirit helps believers, intercedes for them, and those in Christ have God on their side. To experience God's goodness, one should be in Christ, focus their mind on spiritual things, communicate with God in prayer, and live according to his purpose.
The Good Samaritan

Each habit is accompanied by a brief explanation and biblical references. The habits are presented as effective strategies for Christians to have spiritual conversations based on Jesus' example in John 4.
Spiritual Success from Paul
While much of the world looks at success through the eyes of more stuff, Paul looks at success from forgetting the past and reaching forward.
Vision - Setting Your Eyes on Heaven
Solomon wrote, "Where there is no vision, the people perish." God has given us vision for the future home of heaven, are you going there?
The Success of 2014 is in the Power of Your Heart
Planning for a coming year is an important part to success, be an important part of spiritual success as well. The greater question of planning is, "Who will you take with you?"
Serve! (Men's Retreat)
The last lesson at the 2014 Men's Retreat spoke to the action step of service to the world. Christians must step up to the world and serve them.
Work? (Men's Retreat)
This document discusses the importance and meaning of work. It provides biblical quotes about work being part of God's plan and how man was created to work. Additional quotes emphasize that work should be done wholeheartedly as for God, that labor deserves wages, and that those unwilling to work should not eat. The document suggests reflecting on what you will do when your work is done and questions about when you will retire or spiritually retire.
Fatherhood (Men's Retreat)
David gave his son Solomon final words of advice, challenging him to act responsibly, walk with God, and obey David's commands. A father shows love through discipline, and David disciplined Solomon out of love, just as the Scriptures instruct fathers to admonish their children using spiritual wisdom and knowledge to warn them against foolishness and temptation.

This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
