The document discusses the concept of believers being a royal priesthood based on passages from the Bible. It notes that believers have been made kings and priests by God and are called to offer up spiritual sacrifices as living stones in God's spiritual house. As God's chosen people, believers have priestly privilege in being redeemed and purified by Christ, priestly access to God through the blood of Christ and the Holy Spirit, and a priestly function to show God's praises and declare their fellowship with God and Christ. The overall message is that all believers have the highest honor, calling, and work as priests of God.

Do you understand BAPTISM?
There is much confusion about baptism and when and if one should be baptized. God is not the author of confusion, so in this lesson we examine the scriptures to gain a better knowledge of the word of God. Both audio and slides can be enjoyed at www.cmcoc.org Sermon by: Brian Birdow

The document discusses the definition and meaning of the word "Church" as used in the Bible versus how it is commonly used today. It argues that in the New Testament, the Church referred to a called out assembly or group of believers in a location, not a building or denomination. The Greek word "ekklesia" meant a called out group of people, and Jesus built one Church, not many different churches. The Church refers to people who have been added by God to His one body worldwide.
Romans 1a Grace and Peace to you
This document provides an overview and commentary of Paul's letter to the Romans. It notes that Paul wrote the letter while in Corinth at the end of his third missionary journey. It summarizes that Paul introduces himself as a servant of Jesus Christ called to be an apostle and to preach the gospel. It also briefly outlines some of the key points Paul makes about Jesus and his message in the first few verses of Romans.
Sainthood
The document discusses the biblical definition of a saint and clarifies some common misuses of the term. A saint is simply a holy one, referring to anyone who is dedicated and consecrated to God. In the Bible, saints include all believers, members of local churches, and those who worship God. To become a saint, one must repent of sins, be saved from sin through faith in Christ, and dedicate their life to following God. A saint is not a super Christian or someone who performed miracles - it is any believer who commits their life to God.

1. Obedience to God results in opposition but also releases God's miracles and blessings. When the apostles obeyed God by continuing to preach, they were imprisoned but an angel freed them.
2. True strength comes from obedience to God rather than men. The apostles were willing to obey God over human authorities.
3. To be strong in obedience requires knowing Christ, having faith, and obeying God completely and immediately despite any challenges or tests of obedience.the grace of God
This document contains several Bible passages that discuss humanity's creation in God's image, marriage relationships, and the importance of love. The passages describe how God created humans as male and female and blessed them. They advise wives to submit to their husbands as the church submits to Christ, and husbands to love their wives as Christ loves the church. Additional passages encourage modest and godly behavior and discuss beauty, love, and obedience to God.

Paul writes to the church in Colossae thanking God for their faith and growth. He praises Epaphras, who brought them the gospel and taught them about God's grace. Paul prays that they may deepen their knowledge of God, walk worthy of Him, and remain strong and patient through trials as they await their heavenly inheritance. Epaphras is commended as a faithful minister who proclaimed the gospel and made disciples in three towns.

Holiness
The document discusses the concept of holiness in religion. It explains that God created things to be holy, sacred, and set apart. Examples of dividing and separating holy things included light from darkness, the Sabbath from other days, and different areas of the Tabernacle with decreasing levels of holiness. The document then discusses the priesthood of believers in Christianity and the duties of priests, which included tending lamps, daily offerings, praising God, and preaching the gospel.
The captain of our salvation slideshow
The Captain of our salvation is interceding for His people. He is not a petitioner moving the Father's compassion, but a conqueror, who claims the trophies of His victory.
Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25.
The great Captain of our salvation has conquered in our behalf, that through Him we might conquer, if we would, in our own behalf. But Christ saves none against their choice. He compels none to obedience. Jesus made the infinite sacrifice that His followers might overcome in His name and His righteousness be imputed unto them.

03 a royal priesthood
Peter explains that Christians are called to be "a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation" as God's people. He outlines three characteristics of God's people:
1) They are the people of the covenant, heirs to the privileges and responsibilities that God gave to Israel.
2) They are a holy people who show God's character on Earth.
3) They are called to be a light to others by proclaiming God's goodness through both their words and good works, bringing glory to God.

Pentecost, the feast of weeks.
The document discusses the Jewish festival of Shavuot and the Christian celebration of Pentecost. Shavuot commemorates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai and marks the wheat harvest. Pentecost recalls the Holy Spirit descending on Jesus' disciples, empowering them to spread the gospel. Both festivals celebrate physical and spiritual deliverance. The document examines prophecies about Israel and the church being firstfruits offerings and looks at spiritual gifts like tongues given at Pentecost to propel believers.
Pentecost Christian Belief
The document discusses the Christian holiday of Pentecost. It provides details on:
1) Pentecost marks the birth of the Christian church through the descent of the Holy Spirit onto the apostles and other followers of Jesus.
2) On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended as tongues of fire and empowered the apostles to preach in many languages, leading about 3,000 people to convert.
3) Pentecost is celebrated 50 days after Easter and marks the outpouring of the Holy Spirit promised by God.

Calling
The document discusses the concept of being "called" in the Bible. It provides several verses from the New Testament where the word "call" is used in reference to God summoning or inviting people to salvation. It also discusses the original Greek meanings of "a call" as getting someone's attention, a summons such as to court, or an invitation such as to a feast. The document emphasizes that the regular New Testament meaning of "call" refers to a religious summons or invitation from God.

The document outlines three rules for a family: 1) Thank God daily for the power of the Gospel to sustain you, 2) Thank God daily for the richness of God's scripture to provide purpose, and 3) Thank God daily for the unconditional love of God's Son to avoid taking it for granted. Supporting Bible verses are also included that discuss God's love, provision, and gifting to the church.
1 Peter 2h
The document summarizes the key points from a Men's Fellowship meeting on July 18. It discusses how Christians are called to live blameless lives and suffer persecution as Jesus did, committing themselves to God. It notes that through Jesus' suffering, our sins are forgiven and bodies healed. Believers are like sheep who strayed but can be brought back to God, the Shepherd and Bishop of souls. The healing of souls blesses the whole person, and Christians are called to receive all that Jesus paid for through his suffering.

Back to basics! - The Goodnews of the Gospel
The document discusses the problem of sin and humanity's universal sinfulness and separation from God. It then presents the good news of salvation and forgiveness of sins through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, including pardon from sin and the gift of eternal life. It addresses common objections to responding to the call of repentance and salvation, and explains that the new life in Christ involves transformation through the indwelling Holy Spirit to become more like Jesus.
Opening prayer 10-17-10
O God, guide our time together as believers and seekers of truth so that your promise of new life in Christ may refresh us. Speak to us wholly by touching our intellects and deeper longings so that your truth illuminates our daily lives. Feed us abundantly from what you freely offer so that we may overflow with goodness where we live.
Derek Morphew - Hebrews Seminar #5
This document provides an overview and analysis of Hebrews 9:23-10:25. It discusses how the passage contrasts the old sacrificial system with Jesus's perfect sacrifice. Jesus sat down at the right hand of God after offering his one-time sacrifice, which makes believers perfect and forgives their sins through the Holy Spirit. The passage exhorts believers to draw near to God with confidence, hold to their hope, spur one another to love and good deeds, and continue meeting together.

The church of your choice
The document discusses whether believers should choose their own way or follow God's way in various religious matters. It notes that Noah built the ark that God instructed, Abel offered the sacrifice God desired, and Jesus rejected Peter's suggestion to build unauthorized tabernacles. The gospel comes from God, not man, and Jesus established one church that believers should join, not a church of their own choosing. Choosing one's own way leads to divisions, but following God's way leads to unity and salvation.
Worth dying for, worth living for
This document is an invitation to a seminar on practical evangelism from October 15-17, 2010 led by Edwin Jones. The seminar will focus on commitment to religion and letting God's will be done in one's life. To accept God's will requires obedience to his commands, acceptance of his providence, and accepting God's purpose for one's life. The overall message is that if one's religion is worth dying for, it is also worth living for.

A Royal Priesthood: 1 Peter 2 v 9
This is a guideline for a sermon delivered on the evening of Sunday 12 July 2015 at Cape Town Union Church, the city site of Church on Main. It is a discussion on the passage from 1 Peter 2 v 9 with particular focus on the concept Peter mentions of 'the royal priesthood'. Its consists of a series of observations and the argument that Christians may have a tendency towards misunderstanding our identity as members of the royal family of the King of Kings and what royalty means in His Kingdom. We have been given specific talents, treasure and time to serve people and planet while holding our relationship with the Lord as something personal, intimate and committed.
202, Life of Christ, Section 10a Passion Crucifixion Resurrection
The document summarizes events from the final days of Jesus' life according to the Gospels, beginning with the Last Supper on Thursday night. It describes Jesus sharing a final meal with his disciples where he predicts his betrayal by Judas and denies by Peter, and establishes the Eucharist by serving bread and wine as his body and blood. After the meal, Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane while Judas goes to betray him to the chief priests. The document also examines details and potential interpretations of these pivotal events.

heard because of their many words.
Do not be like them, for your Father
1) The document discusses the history and theology of prayer in different dispensations, from individual prayer in ancient times to Jesus' teaching on prayer.
2) It argues that prayer in the name of Jesus takes on the highest form, as it recognizes the person and work of Christ. Unbelievers' prayers cannot be accepted by God as prayer requires union with Christ.
3) The scope of prayer is defined as whatever is asked in accordance with God's will, as believers remain in Christ and his words remain in them. Regular, reverent prayer should be practiced with the Holy Spirit.
The priesthood
The document discusses the roles and ranks of priests in the church. It describes priests as messengers of God who guide believers and teach them to fight against spiritual enemies. Priests handle communion, perform confessions, and lead liturgy in order to pray for forgiveness of sins and care for people's salvation. They are consecrated through the sacrament of holy orders where the bishop lays hands on them. The ranks include deacons as servants, priests as teachers, and bishops as overseers and shepherds.
Jesus raises lazarus
This document summarizes the biblical story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. It describes how Lazarus became ill and died, despite Jesus receiving a message from his sisters Mary and Martha. When Jesus arrived in Bethany four days later, he went to Lazarus' tomb and called out "Lazarus, come forth." Lazarus then emerged from the tomb still bound in grave clothes. Many witnesses came to faith in Jesus after seeing this miraculous sign. The document reflects on how this event showed Jesus' power over death and his compassion for those he loved.
Outpouring of the Holy Spirit
The document discusses the biblical concept of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It states that the outpouring will occur at the end times during the gathering of God's people. The outpouring is described as including the spirit of grace and supplication, the former rain, and the latter rain. The outpouring will result in people prophesying, dreaming dreams, and having visions. It will lead to repentance, the removal of evil, and immortality being given to God's children. The outpouring is compared to the original outpouring on the apostles, but it is said it will be on a much larger scale and will not be corrupted.
Lesson 5 Seven Special Messages From Jesus
The document summarizes the key messages from Jesus to seven churches in Revelation chapters 2-3. It discusses how each church represents a different era of Christian history. The main points are:
1) The seven churches (Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea) each received messages from Jesus about knowing their works, overcoming, and listening to the Holy Spirit.
2) Each church era faced different challenges like losing love, persecution, compromise, apostasy, reformation, and lukewarmness.
3) Jesus promises rewards to the "overcomers" in each church like access to the tree of
Ap training—elder foster 2.11(1)
The document discusses priesthood training and the restoration of the priesthood keys. It provides excerpts from scriptures and teachings about the duties and responsibilities of holding the priesthood. Some key points include:
1. Passages discuss the Lord calling Joseph Smith to restore priesthood authority and commandments.
2. Excerpts outline the duties of Aaronic Priesthood holders such as preaching, teaching, and inviting others to come unto Christ.
3. The restoration of priesthood keys by Moses, Elias, and Elijah conferring specific priesthood authorities is summarized.
4. Maintaining and magnifying one's priesthood calling results in sanctification and becoming "the sons of Moses
The touch of the master's hand
A leper was quarantined from society due to their disease. Jesus touched the leper, healing them. While we cannot perform miracles, we can touch others' lives through kindness. We should focus on how we can serve others, not what others can do for us. It is not about what others have done for us, but how we will be remembered through our positive impact on others.
What do you see when you see the cross
The document discusses what is seen when looking at the cross. It sees the ugliness of sin as borne by Jesus who carried our sorrows and was wounded for our transgressions. It also sees our helplessness without God and his power to forgive through the sacrifice on the cross. Finally, it sees the inexhaustible love of God shown through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross according to several Bible verses.
A different book
The Bible is a unique book as it was written by God and tells the story of Jesus from creation to his second coming. It explains how Jesus came to save humanity from sin and what people must do to be saved, such as believing, repenting of sins, and being baptized. The Old Testament prepares for Jesus' arrival while the New Testament recounts his life and teachings and the spread of the church after his resurrection.
Where would jesus go to church
The document discusses where Jesus would go to church based on the biblical account in Luke 4:16-20. It describes how Jesus regularly attended synagogue on the Sabbath in his hometown of Nazareth, as was his custom, and read from the scriptures. The document suggests Jesus would go to a church that honors his name, teaches his doctrine, allows worship in spirit and truth, and teaches people how to be saved according to his will. It concludes by asking where the reader would go to church.
Metallic bonds
Metals form metallic bonds between positive metal ions and delocalized valence electrons. This bonding allows the metal atoms to bond together in a crystalline structure and be malleable and a good conductor of heat and electricity. The delocalized electrons are free to move throughout the entire structure.
We ought to obey god rather than men
The document contains two biblical passages. Romans 13 outlines how Christians should submit to governing authorities as they are established by God. Acts 5 describes how the apostles continued preaching and healing despite being imprisoned, and how Gamaliel counsels the Jewish leaders to leave the apostles alone rather than fight against God's work.

Peter explained that Christians are God's chosen people who should show God's praise through their lives and words. He outlines three characteristics of God's people:
1) They are the people of God's covenant, heirs of God's promises to Israel.
2) They are a holy people who reflect God's character on Earth.
3) They are called to be a light to others and proclaim God's goodness through their preaching and good works.

3.%20 walking%20in%20holiness%20handout
The document discusses what it means to walk in holiness according to the Bible. It describes how the Bible uses metaphors like salvation, redemption, marriage, and adoption to depict our relationship with God. Holiness refers to living like those who have been redeemed by God. Christians are called to pursue holiness and live differently than the world by denying ungodliness. The Christian life is qualitatively different and involves submitting to the working of God's Spirit rather than our own fleshly tendencies.
2 Cor Intro
Paul wrote this letter to the Corinthians to defend his ministry and authority as an apostle of Jesus Christ. Some in the Corinthian church had been swayed by false teachers who undermined Paul. In this letter, Paul expresses thankfulness for those who had repented and appeals to the rebellious minority to accept his leadership. Throughout the letter, Paul defends his conduct, character, and calling as an apostle and teaches that ministers must face difficulties and troubles without losing their mission to comfort others.

Church meaning
The document discusses the definition and biblical meaning of the word "church". It explains that the church refers to the body of believers, not a building or denomination. The Greek word "ekklesia" means "called out ones" and was used in the New Testament to refer to a group of believers called by God. The church began on the day of Pentecost and continues as one unified body, not separate denominations. Jesus is the founder and cornerstone of the church he died for.
Sanctification
Sanctification is the process by which God separates believers from sin and dedicates them to his service. It is effected by God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Believers are sanctified through the atoning work of Christ, the word of God, and by being in Christ. Sanctification leads believers to mortify sin and pursue holiness. Ministers should pray and exhort believers to progress in sanctification, as it is necessary for inheriting God's kingdom. In the Old Testament, various people and objects were sanctified or set apart for holy use as a type of sanctification.
Intro Ephesians
The document provides an overview and summary of the key themes and passages in Paul's letter to the Ephesians. It notes that the letter contains 6 chapters and discusses salvation through grace and faith in Christ. It also summarizes that the first half of Ephesians focuses on the believer's heavenly possessions and blessings, while the second half discusses the believer's conduct and responsibilities. Additionally, it highlights Paul's emphasis on the church and the unity of both Jews and Gentiles "in Christ."
The True Grace Of Jesus Week 3
Peter teaches that spiritual maturity is acquired through grace as believers shed vices, crave spiritual nourishment, and come together as living stones in God's spiritual house. Believers progress in layers as they expose themselves to Christ, nourish themselves on God's goodness, and join together in community to declare God's praises. Disobedience was part of God's plan to show mercy to both Jew and Gentile.

The healing of a beggar

The beggar asked them for money, and Peter said that he had no silver or gold but would give him what he had, which was healing in the name of Jesus Christ.

Waiting in jerusalem
