God Is Holy
This document provides an overview of a 6-week Bible study on exploring the character of God. Session 1 focuses on God being holy. It discusses how God's holiness calls people to be holy. Key points about God's holiness include that He is exalted over all nations and His name is holy.

I Saw the Lord - Isaiah 6:1-8
A. When? The vision occurred in the year that King Uzziah died.

Session 15 Old Testament Overview - I & II Kings
The document provides an overview of the biblical books of 1 and 2 Kings. It discusses how Kings originally formed one book and was compiled from many historical sources. The events covered stretch from King Solomon's rule to the exile of God's people. Throughout Kings, the kings are evaluated based on how well they obey God's law. Both the northern and southern kingdoms experience periods of obedience and disobedience among their rulers. This leads to blessings or judgments, as outlined in Deuteronomy. Ultimately, no earthly king fully fulfills God's purposes until the coming of Jesus Christ as the eternal king in the line of David.

The book highlights important differences from Samuel and Kings, such as details around David's rise and rule.
Panorama of Revelation
The document provides an overview of the book of Revelation. It begins by outlining the purpose of Revelation as told to John by Jesus: to write down what he has seen, what is currently happening, and what will happen in the future.

The overview then examines each vision: the things John has seen in chapter 1, the letters to the seven churches as the current state in chapters 2-3, God and Jesus' glory in chapters 4-5, and the things to come after in chapters 6-22 involving seals, trumpets, Satan

It describes how the waters would have engulfed them and the torrent would have swept over their souls. However, God delivered them and they escaped like a bird from the snare of fowlers, with the trap being broken. Their help comes from calling on the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Old Testament Journey 22,23 v. 2
The document discusses lessons from the reign of King Solomon in the Old Testament. It summarizes that while Solomon began his rule with great wisdom, he lost his way by taking many foreign wives who turned him to false gods. His wisdom became folly as his kingdom neared division. The books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, written by Solomon, reflect on true wisdom versus vanity. They encourage focusing on God for meaning in life rather than worldly pursuits alone.
03 March 9, 2014, Proverbs & Solomon, When Wisdom Was Not Enough
1. King Solomon, the wisest man who once feared the Lord, strayed from his wisdom and God's commands by developing insatiable appetites for wealth and women later in life.
2. His heart became turned away from fully devoted to God, and he engaged in idolatry by worshipping the false gods of his many foreign wives.
3. The lessons are that no one is immune from temptation, no position or privileges can protect from sin, and sin can gradually creep in if one is not vigilant and committed to resisting it at all times.
OTJourney - Royal Verses, Royal Wisdom
1) King Solomon initially chose wisdom but later followed other gods and had many foreign wives who turned him away from God.
2) He authored Proverbs in his youth and Ecclesiastes at the end of his life, realizing his vast worldly wisdom was meaningless without spiritual wisdom.
3) Although he was the wisest man, Solomon acknowledged that pursuing knowledge and wisdom alone leads to grief, and the true meaning in life comes from fearing God.
Henyo Ka Ba
This document discusses wisdom and its relationship to living an abundant life through several examples from the Bible. It describes how Solomon was given great wisdom by God but did not fully follow God's ways as he grew older. While Solomon had wisdom, he did not apply it correctly in his life by taking many foreign wives who turned him to other gods. The document emphasizes that having wisdom is not enough - one must use wisdom properly and follow God fully to live abundantly.
03 March 9, 2014, Proverbs & Solomon, When Wisdom Was Not Enough
King Solomon strayed from his own wisdom and proverbs by losing his fear of the Lord. As he grew old, his many foreign wives turned his heart to other gods instead of fully devoting himself to the Lord. This was surprising given Solomon's early wisdom and blessings from God. The lessons are that no one is immune from temptation, no position is safe from sin's allure, and we must resist sin at all times and not become lenient toward it.

The document emphasizes qualities like responsibility, sacrifice, and laying foundations for the future.
141207 eng the testings of faith by ps. jonathan lim
God tests people's faith through difficulties, demands, delays, and handling of money or wealth. The document discusses several Bible passages where people's faith was tested through lack of food, impossible tasks from God, long waits, and tithing requirements. It asserts that the testing of faith builds perseverance and maturity. Examples are given of Israelites tested in the wilderness, Jesus testing the disciples, and God testing Abraham and Noah through things not yet seen. The overall message is that God uses tests to strengthen believers' faith and reveal what is truly in their hearts.

The law and grace
The document discusses Paul's encouragement of the Corinthians to follow the example of generosity set by the Macedonians. It describes how the Macedonians gave abundantly despite their poverty, giving themselves first to God and then to the apostles. Paul urges the Corinthians to also excel in the grace of giving. A second section discusses how grace and law interact, noting that grace enables obedience to God's commands which leads to blessing, and that love for God and others makes obedience easier.
What would we ask
The document discusses three key points:
1. The necessity of character, citing a passage asking God for help never telling a lie.
2. The necessity of substance, referencing a passage asking for neither poverty nor riches.
3. The necessity of contentment, noting a passage about learning to be content in any situation through God's strength.
Answering our call
Jesus travels through Samaria despite Jews normally avoiding it. He encounters a Samaritan woman at a well and asks her for water, surprising her since Jews and Samaritans do not interact. Jesus tells her he can offer living water that will never leave her thirsty again. Later, his disciples are puzzled to find him speaking to the woman, but Jesus explains his true food is doing God's will, not physical sustenance.
A tale of two encounters
The document describes two encounters between Elijah and Elisha. In the first encounter, Elijah calls on God to prove his power and turn the people back to him, while Elisha asks to inherit Elijah's spirit. In the second encounter, Elijah is taken up to heaven in a whirlwind while Elisha strikes the water with Elijah's cloak and crosses over, showing he has inherited Elijah's spirit and mantle as a prophet. The encounters show that while Elijah and Elisha had the same call, their focuses and responses to God's calling differed.
Our focus our destiny
Jesus sends his disciples away in their boat while he prays alone. During the night, the disciples encounter a strong storm while far from land. Jesus walks toward them on the water, calming their fear. Peter steps out in faith but sinks when doubting; Jesus rescues him. Upon returning to the boat, the disciples worship Jesus, acknowledging him as the Son of God.
Right perspective
The psalmist almost lost faith seeing the wicked prosper while remaining pure seemed pointless. However, in God's sanctuary he gained perspective: while the wicked seem at ease, God puts them on a slippery path to destruction. Maintaining purity is not in vain though trouble comes, as the righteous find security in God despite outward appearances.
The price for increase
This document summarizes a passage from Luke 11:5-10 about prayer and persistence. It teaches that through keeping on asking, seeking, and knocking, one will receive what they ask for from God. The passage tells a story about going to a friend's house late at night to borrow bread when an unexpected guest arrives. Though initially refused, the friend will get up and give what is needed if the person keeps knocking persistently. The document applies this lesson by saying increase requires struggles, hindrances, and pain but comes through persistence in prayer.
Children of light
The document summarizes a passage from Luke 16:1-9 about a dishonest manager who reduces debts owed to his rich employer so that people will welcome him when he loses his job. The manager uses his position to benefit others before he is fired in order to gain friends. The summary concludes that Christians should make use of opportunities, shine their light in all directions, and focus on using worldly resources to benefit others and make eternal friends.
Time for more
Jesus enters Jericho and encounters Zacchaeus, the chief tax collector, who climbs a tree to see him. Jesus calls out to Zacchaeus and goes to his home as a guest. Though criticized, Zacchaeus promises to give half his wealth to the poor and repay any cheating fourfold. Jesus declares salvation has come to Zacchaeus' home, for he shows himself a true son of Abraham through his generosity.
Keep going
Jesus prays in Gethsemane, asking God to remove "this cup" of suffering from him, but submitting to God's will. He finds his disciples sleeping three times when he asks them to keep watch and pray. Jesus tells them their spirit is willing but their flesh is weak. He says the hour has come for the Son of Man to be betrayed and tells the disciples to rise and go, as his betrayer approaches.
Increase and shine
This document discusses Jesus' teachings from Matthew 5:13-16 about being the salt of the earth and light of the world. It says believers are blessed to be a blessing to others, and that obedience to God must precede fulfilling one's purpose. The full mission of Jesus, and by extension all believers, is to glorify God the Father through one's deeds so that others come to know Him.
Sowing for the impossible
Genesis 26:1-14 describes Isaac living in Gerar during a famine. God tells Isaac not to go to Egypt but to stay in Gerar, where He will bless Isaac and give the land to his descendants. Though Isaac fears for his life due to his beautiful wife Rebekah, King Abimelech recognizes her as Isaac's wife. Isaac prospers greatly in Gerar, harvesting 100 times what he planted due to God's blessing.
Moving forward
The passage describes the Israelites continuing their journey to the Promised Land, led by Moses and aided by an angel. It emphasizes the central role of the Tent of Meeting, where Moses could speak with God face to face and the people could make requests. Moses pleads with God to personally go with them, reminding God that His presence is what sets the Israelites apart and gives them rest. God reassures Moses that He will go with them.
Grateful ending
The angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and told her she would conceive and give birth to a son named Jesus, who would be the Son of God. Mary was troubled by this message since she was a virgin. Gabriel explained that she would conceive through the Holy Spirit. Though afraid of the unknown, Mary humbly submitted herself to God's will, saying "I am the Lord's servant."
What have we learnt
God tests Abraham's faith by commanding him to sacrifice his son Isaac. Abraham obeys God and prepares to sacrifice Isaac, trusting that God will provide. As Abraham and Isaac walk to the sacrifice site, Isaac questions where the animal sacrifice is. Abraham responds with faith that God will provide.
For this cause
The document discusses Paul's mission to persuade others about Christ based on his understanding of his responsibility before God. It describes how Christ's love controls Paul to share the message that through Christ, all people can be made new and live for him rather than themselves. Finally, it explains that God has given believers the task of reconciling people to him by delivering the message that Christ's sacrifice makes people right with God.
The call to serve
Matthew 5:13-16 discusses how Christians are called to be "the salt of the earth" and "the light of the world" in order to shine God's light through good deeds. Just as a city on a hill or a lamp on a stand cannot be hidden, Christians should openly display their faith through actions so that others may see God's work and glorify Him. The passage calls believers to exist for a purpose beyond themselves and to serve through both their being and their deeds, bringing glory to God in all things.

The call to love
Jesus tells his disciples that his time on Earth is coming to an end but that they should love one another as he has loved them. This will show that they are his disciples. When Peter asks where Jesus is going, Jesus tells him that he will deny knowing Jesus three times before the rooster crows the next morning. Loving one another, as commanded by Jesus, should be their highest priority and prove their eternal destiny.
The call to worship
God tests Abraham's faith by commanding him to sacrifice his son Isaac. Abraham obediently takes Isaac and supplies for a burnt offering and travels to the mountain God designated. Along the way, Isaac questions Abraham about the missing animal for the sacrifice, to which Abraham replies that God will provide.

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

The chief end of man
- 1. 1 Kings 2:1-4 As the time of King David’s death approached, he gave his charge to his son Solomon: “I am going where everyone on earth must someday go. Take courage and be a man. Observe the requirements of the LORD your God, and follow all His ways. Keep the decrees, commands, regulations, and laws written in the Law of Moses so that you will be successful in all you do and wherever you go.
- 2. 1 Kings 2:1-4 If you do this, then the LORD will keep the promise He made to me. He told me, ‘If your descendants live as they should and follow Me faithfully with all their heart and soul, one of them will always sit on the throne of Israel.”
- 3. The Chief End of Man 1. Desiring the right thing. 1 Kings 2:3 Observe the requirements of the LORD your God, and follow all His ways. Keep the decrees, commands, regulations, and laws written in the Law of Moses so that you will be successful in all you do and wherever you go. • Eccl 2:1-10 “Come on, let’s try pleasure. Let’s look for the good things in life... I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure…..” • Ultimate fulfillment is in the LORD.
- 4. The Chief End of man 2. Building the right kingdom. 1 Kings 2:4 “If your descendants live as they should and follow Me faithfully with all their heart and soul, one of them will always sit on the throne of Israel.” • Eccl 2:3-11 ..seeking wisdom….building huge homes....planting beautiful vineyards….made gardens and parks….built reservoirs….bought slaves….owned large herds and flocks….collected great sums of silver and gold....hired wonderful singers….had many beautiful concubines.. • 1 Kings 11:4 ..they turned his heart to worship other gods instead of being completely faithful to the LORD his God… • Anything will do for God but the world must have our best. (Charles Spurgeon)
- 5. The Chief End of Man 3. Living with the right focus. 1 Kings 2:3-4 Keep the decrees, commands, regulations, and laws written in the Law of Moses so that you will be successful in all you do and wherever you go. If you do this, then the LORD will keep the promise He made to me. • Eccl 12:13 Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty. • Delight in Him and honour Him.
