The document summarizes Jesus calling Simon, Andrew, James, and John to follow him, leaving their jobs and families. It then discusses that commitment to Christ begins by following him as the way, light, and pioneer to the Father. Commitment continues by following Christ's example of suffering for his name, serving others rather than oneself, walking in sacrificial love, and considering others' interests above your own. Commitment means following Christ to glory, though this requires an initial willingness to follow him now.
Blood Brothers!
Gen 4:10 And He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground.
My Life His Way
The cross was central to Jesus' life and mission, and it should be central to the lives of his followers. Taking up one's cross means willingly sacrificing one's own interests to serve and follow Jesus each day. It involves denying oneself, prioritizing God, opening one's heart to God, and working for Jesus by living according to his teachings. True life is found not in earthly things but by completely trusting in Jesus and obeying him through faith until death.
10 the role of stewardship
This document summarizes a lesson about stewardship using the analogy of an old cart wheel. It discusses key parts of the wheel and their spiritual meaning:
The axle represents Jesus Christ, who is the center and foundation of the Christian life. The axle box symbolizes the sanctuary and how it helps us understand Jesus' work on our behalf. The spokes stand for fundamental Christian doctrines that radiate from the truth about Jesus. The iron band signifies the holiness required to spread the message about Jesus to others. Stewardship involves properly managing all areas of our lives and the church according to God's will.
Is Purgatory a Real Place?
The document argues that the doctrine of Purgatory is not supported by the Bible and places trust in man-made ideas rather than God. It says Jesus's sacrifice was sufficient to forgive all sins and that we are cleansed by accepting Him, not through works or other processes. The Bible describes that we will all face judgment but that believers will be saved through Jesus rather than undergoing post-death purification.
4 t212 07_christ our sacrifice
This document provides a summary of the key points from a Sabbath School presentation on November 16th, 2013 about Christ being our sacrifice. It discusses how Jesus fulfilled prophecies in Isaiah 53 about suffering for others and giving peace, healing and justification. It explains why Jesus had to die - to take away human sins, acquire the position of High Priest, and take on the law's condemnation. The importance of Christ's blood is outlined as providing forgiveness, sanctification, and cleansing. Christ is described as a spotless sacrifice that brings human salvation and covers believers with his righteousness. A great danger of becoming too familiar with Christ's sacrifice is also mentioned.
Preparing for passover
This document discusses Jesus as the fulfillment of the Passover and how Christians can prepare themselves for Easter. It compares the elements of the original Passover in the Old Testament, such as God's redemption from slavery in Egypt and the blood of the lamb, to their fulfillment through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. It encourages readers to open their hearts to God, obey his word, walk humbly, receive his life, and ask for cleansing as they prepare for Easter and remember Jesus as their Passover.
Sabbath school lesson 3, 3rd quarter of 2016
The document discusses justice and mercy in the Old Testament law. It summarizes passages from Exodus, Leviticus, Isaiah, and Psalms about caring for the poor, widows, orphans, foreigners, and workers. The law commanded Israel to leave parts of the harvest for the poor, forgive debts and release slaves every seven years. God instituted the Sabbath, Sabbatical year, and Jubilee year to benefit the disadvantaged. The prophets preached about loosening burdens on the oppressed and helping the poor. True worship involves reflecting God's just and merciful character through righteous living.

No Person is Beyond Forgiveness
1. Forgiveness comes from the character of the offended party, not the severity of the offense. God freely forgives any sin, no matter how large, for those who ask.
2. Anyone can receive forgiveness from God through faith in Jesus Christ. Though forgiven, people still face consequences of past sins but can start anew through God's mercy.
3. True forgiveness means letting go of bitterness and starting fresh rather than necessarily maintaining the relationship. God completely removes our sins from us, and we should forgive others as He has forgiven us.

02 05-12 - the end of sin (for web)
The document discusses how Christ's sacrifice provides the end of sin through his role as the perfect high priest. It explains that Christ's sacrifice was the right sacrifice as it was holy and human. It occurred in the right place in heaven itself before God. It happened at the right time, once for all at the end of the ages. And it had the right result of putting away sin and bearing the sins of many, so there is now no longer any offering needed for sin and no condemnation for those in Christ.
The Glory of the Cross!
The document discusses the glory of the cross from a sermon. It covers three main points: (1) The cross represents man's sins that Jesus died for. (2) The cross demonstrates God's great love for humanity in that he was willing to sacrifice his son. (3) The cross provides forgiveness from God that humanity desperately needs, as salvation cannot be achieved through any other means. The cross is the central focal point of God's redemptive plan and the only means by which people can be reconciled to God.
DOCTRINE 8 - CROSS - PS. VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE
The document discusses the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and what it accomplished. It provides biblical passages that describe how Jesus was scourged, mocked, and nailed to the cross to pay the penalty for humanity's sins. His death on the cross provides salvation, justification, and propitiation for believers. It defeated sin, hell, and delivers believers to heaven. The cross is the ultimate demonstration of God's love, as through Jesus' death and resurrection, believers can have eternal life.
Life and death
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. This verse mentions sin, wages, and the gift of God. What is sin? What is the cost of sin? What is the gift of God? Choose life or death - the choice is yours.
The Story - part 30, The Christian Life in the Epistles

30th message in a series entitled, "The Story"
Acts 22: The testimony Second Baptist Church Spring 2018
Paul shares his testimony with the crowd in Jerusalem. He recounts how he formerly persecuted Christians as a zealous Jew, but then experienced a life-changing encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, in which Jesus appeared to him in a blinding light and spoke to him. This transformed Paul from a persecutor of Christians into a follower of Jesus and instrument of God. He was then instructed to be baptized and spread the gospel to both Jews and Gentiles. However, when sharing this testimony with the Jewish crowd, they reject his message and call for him to be killed. Paul's testimony demonstrates how God can transform sinners and use even former persecutors to advance his kingdom.
The Journey of life spiritually must always be a priority
The document discusses how to receive eternal life as a gift from God. It says that all people have sinned and deserve death, but God offers salvation through Jesus. To receive this gift, one must: 1) believe in Jesus, 2) repent of sins, and 3) confess faith in Jesus before others. It further explains that one should also be baptized, which buries the believer with Christ into His death and raises them to walk in newness of life. Remaining faithful to Jesus is also required to receive the crown of life.
Experiencing The Cross
The document describes Jesus' experience on the cross based on passages from the Bible. It discusses how Jesus suffered great emotional anguish in the garden, was physically abused by the guards, was flogged, was made to wear a crown of thorns, and was ultimately crucified. The purpose was to illustrate the immense suffering and sacrifice Jesus endured to pay for humanity's sins, demonstrating God's great love for all people.
04 supreme sacrafice 4
1) God demonstrated His unconditional love by sending Jesus to die for humanity while we were still sinners. Through His death, Christ reconciled humans to God and allows God to forgive sins.
2) The Jewish law required death to atone for sins, which animal sacrifices could not fulfill. Jesus' sacrifice on the cross paid the full price for sins once and for all.
3) By faith in Christ's sacrifice, God can now legally justify sinners.
The doctrine of substitution
The document discusses the doctrine of substitution, which refers to Christ dying in our place to atone for our sins. It provides several points of evidence from the Bible to support this:
1) Ancient sacrificial systems involved substitutes taking the place of the offerer. Christ has done the same as our substitute.
2) On the Day of Atonement, a goat was sacrificed and its blood was used to atone while another goat had the sins transferred to it. This illustrates propitiation and substitution.
3) The apostles like Peter and Paul explicitly taught that Christ died for/in our place, taking our punishment and sins upon himself so we could be justified.
The Gospel of 3 Trees
The document summarizes the story of the Bible through three trees:
1) The Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden, whose fruit Adam and Eve ate, separating them from God.
2) The Tree of Calvary, where Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for humanity's sins and reconcile people to God.
3) The Tree of Life in paradise, which believers will have access to for eternity through faith in Jesus' atoning sacrifice on the cross.
We Preach Christ Crucified
In this lesson you will be challenged to preach Christ crucified just as Paul did. The emphasis of our preaching must be Christ and the meaning of his death. This material was borrowed from Jim McGuiggan in his book The Dragon Slayer, chapter 1: The Crux of the Matter. For a much better understanding, I strongly encourage reading this book.
Training Session 2 Teleconference
The document provides an overview of evangelism training, including the separation of man from God due to sin, God sending Jesus to die on the cross to pay for mankind's sins, and Jesus conquering death through his resurrection. It encourages reading the Bible daily, praying constantly, meeting with other Christians, and telling others about Jesus. The document uses various visuals like the EvangeCube to illustrate its points about sin, salvation through Jesus, and eternal life versus eternal punishment.
Jesus explains salvation
Jesus explains to Nicodemus that in order to be saved, one must be "born again" through faith in Jesus. All humans are sinners deserving of death, but God provided salvation through Jesus' death and resurrection. To receive salvation, one must acknowledge they are a sinner, believe that Jesus died for their sins, and commit their life to following Jesus through repentance, faith, and baptism. Accepting this free gift of salvation results in eternal life with God.
09-23-18, Galatians 3;22-29, One In Christ Jesus
1. Paul is writing to address false teachings in the Galatian churches that said Gentiles must follow Jewish laws like circumcision to be saved.
2. Paul argues that under the law, all people are imprisoned by sin, but through faith in Christ alone are freed from sin's power and made heirs to God's promise.
3. In Christ, distinctions of race, social status, and gender no longer matter - all believers are equal as God's children and heirs through faith in Christ.
The cost of freedom
This document discusses the great sacrifice that Jesus made by dying on the cross to save humanity from sin. It notes that God sacrificed his only son Jesus, who willingly suffered betrayal, mockery, and crucifixion. The price of freedom from sin was Jesus' cruel death. The document encourages gratitude for this sacrifice so that people may enjoy spiritual freedom, and calls readers to come to Jesus for salvation.
Baptism message boyvee
The document discusses baptism from several Bible passages. It describes how baptism represents being washed clean from sins through faith in Jesus Christ and his resurrection, as those who were baptized in the Bible were adding their faith in Christ. It also discusses how baptism represents dying and rising with Christ to walk in newness of life.
The Cross of Christ!
The document discusses the significance of Jesus Christ's crucifixion on the cross. It explains that though crucifixion was the worst form of execution, Jesus chose it to demonstrate his great love for humanity. As a sinless man, Jesus took the punishment for mankind's sins by dying on the cross. His death and resurrection bring forgiveness of sins and hope to all who believe in the gospel message that Christ died for our sins. The cross represents the greatest event in history and the means by which people can be reconciled to God.

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.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
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.
