Competition with other Christians is dangerous and does not achieve anything useful. The Spirit gives us gifts so we can cooperate in ministry and achieve the common good. How are you contributing?
The document discusses making disciples and spiritual growth. It notes that Jeremiah 18 describes how a potter shapes clay into different pots. It also discusses six discoveries about spiritual growth from Willow Creek, including that spiritual practices are building blocks and that evangelists, volunteers and donors tend to be the most spiritually advanced. It emphasizes that activity does not necessarily mean vitality and that religious holiness is not the same as relational holiness.
The document discusses the relationship between a senior pastor (SP) and a youth leader (YL) in a church. It outlines their common and differing responsibilities, and emphasizes that they should work together through mutual trust, respect, clear communication and submission to leadership while allowing creative freedom. The YL can make the SP a friend by supporting his vision, respecting and speaking highly of him, maintaining transparency, handling youth ministry problems, and praying for his family.
This document discusses the concept of common good according to the Augustinian Rule. It provides three key elements of common good: respect for persons, social well-being of groups, and peace. It also describes the early Christian community in Jerusalem where believers shared possessions communally so that none were in need. The document advocates promoting fraternal distribution of goods to show believers are friends of Christ and working for the common good through service to others.
Christians have a responsibility to actively promote the good of society and others through both personal and public participation and service. This principle of human solidarity calls us to commit ourselves to the good of all people, especially the less fortunate, and work towards a just social order through friendship, addressing socio-economic problems, and sharing material and spiritual goods.
This document compares the missions of Jesus and Paul based on six criteria: receiving the power of the Holy Spirit at the beginning of their ministries, confronting and overcoming demonic powers, preaching about scripture's fulfillment in Jesus, an initial positive response, and rejection by their countrymen. Both Jesus and Paul displayed these similarities in their missions according to the biblical passages cited.
Transforming Our Love for Strangers through HospitalityJeremy Hoover
Peter used to eat with Gentiles but began separating himself when others from James arrived, out of fear of what they would think. The Bible says both to invite strangers in and warns against not inviting strangers in.
Loving God should be transformative, not transactional. In this sermon, learn the difference between the two and how the spiritual disciplines of bible reading, prayer, and worship can transform your relationship with God.

To grow spiritually, we need to regularly engage in four different areas of relationship: with God, with believers, with neighbors, and with strangers.
The document discusses 4 transformational relationships that can cultivate spiritual growth: relationships with God, believers, neighbors, and strangers. It provides the core thought, key scripture, actions, and examples for each relationship type to guide spiritual development through both inward reflection and outward service. Maintaining these four types of relationships can help one cooperate with God in spiritual growth.
Sometimes we think God's will is so mysterious that we doubt we'll ever find or understand it. But the bible is clear that God's will is both findable and understandable. We understand God's will in the gospel that provides us hope and teaches us to live sacrificially like Jesus, we experience his will in prayer and in spiritual growth that provides knowledge of him, and we express God's will when we bear fruit by serving others in love.
James says that faith without deeds is dead (2:14-26). If we only think of faith as a set of beliefs or the correct doctrine, we have failed to exercise what faith really is--actions that grow out of our belief.
We need to combine our beliefs with actions that serve others.
James teaches us how to live out our faith; as faith without works is dead. In this sermon, we look at James 2:1-13 and how loving the poor as our neighbor and avoiding favoritism are acts of faith.

In this sermon, we'll examine how we often use the word "church" to refer to a building. But this creates passiveness in us. God wants us to be active--he is actively forming and shaping us into his holy temple where he dwells. We need to be active, to participate, and to add value.
The document discusses being rich toward God rather than material wealth. It warns that a divided mind with divided loyalties created by desiring a divided inheritance leads to worry instead of dependence on God. People are encouraged to guard against all kinds of greed and be rich in their relationship with God.
To grow from reading God's word we must see it as valuable, humbly seek God, and be moved to action as a result of our reading. Learn how to start growing spiritually with 4 simple steps, presented at the end of the lesson.
Good church leadership (shepherding) is godly, flock-focused, and selfless. In this sermon outline, I examine the bad shepherds in Ezekiel 34:1-16 and God's instructions to lead like he leads. I compare this with Peter's teaching to elders in 1 Peter 5:1-5.
Paul teaches us that we can know if we're mature by whether we trust Jesus, are becoming more attached to him, and whether we keep pressing on. Those who are mature know this and act by it. If you do not know this, and/or you do not act by it, God will educate you further.
Too often, church relationships contain conflict. Paul teaches us how to overcome our differences and live like Jesus by working for oneness with one another, looking to others' interests first, and becoming obedient through service.
Learn from the early church (Acts 4:23-31) how to move away from being merely a church that prays to a church that lives, breathes, and exists by prayer.
To grow spiritually, one must create a spiritual growth plan, focus on next steps, and take action. A spiritual growth plan involves loving God and others, as Jesus taught. It is important to focus on next steps of obedience to God's word rather than just listening. Taking action requires training through spiritual disciplines. The document encourages creating a plan, focusing on next steps, and taking action to grow spiritually.
We progress in our faith through perseverance. We each face trials, challenges, and uncertainty. We grow, not by giving up, but by facing these things head on through faith. We persevere through them.
Improper bible reading gives up on the bible too easily, focuses too much on acquiring knowledge, and promotes pride. Proper bible reading, on the other hand, transforms you: it leads to worship, good works, and stronger faith. Be transformed by reading the bible, making a plan to minister, and taking action.

The Book of Ruth is included in the third division, or the Writings, of the Hebrew Bible. In most Christian canons it is treated as one of the historical books and placed between Judges and 1 Samuel.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
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
