The document discusses two crowds that gathered around Jesus during his final days. One crowd hailed him as their hero and savior during his entry into Jerusalem, while the other crowd called for his crucifixion just days later. The document argues that each person today is part of one of these two crowds - either following Jesus as Lord or refusing to acknowledge him. It encourages choosing to follow Jesus rather than conforming to popular opinion or crowds.

The document discusses the dangers of greed and putting money above God. It argues that viewing money as a master leads to idolatry, as people love, trust and obey money rather than God. The story of Zacchaeus is presented, showing how his encounter with Jesus led him to repent of his greedy ways and instead use his wealth to help the poor. The document encourages recognizing deep idols in one's life and finding salvation through Christ's grace and poverty, as he came to save humanity from being lost.
Worldly or Not? - Bishop Horace Ransom Jr.
This document discusses the concept of worldliness from a biblical perspective. It begins by defining the Greek word "cosmos" that is translated as "world" in the Bible. It then examines different views on what constitutes worldly behavior. The document argues that worldliness refers to embracing the demonic systems and values of ungodly people rather than isolation from society. It notes Christians should relate to the world as Jesus did, to fulfill their purpose of witnessing, but should not compromise biblical values. The goal for Christians is to live distinctly from worldly ways through applying God's word, while still having relationships with unbelievers for the purpose of ministry.
October hero of the month: Zacchaeus
Zacchaeus was a wealthy tax collector who climbed a tree to see Jesus over the crowd due to being short. When Jesus saw Zacchaeus in the tree, he called him by name and asked to stay at his house. After meeting Jesus, Zacchaeus decided to give half his wealth to the poor, as recounted in Luke 19:1-10. The passage discusses Zacchaeus' background as a tax collector, how he climbed a tree to see Jesus, and his decision to help the poor after their interaction.
Advent: a season of peace
The document discusses the themes of peace during the Advent season. It notes that while reflections on peace may seem hollow given current events, the angels' song of peace at Jesus' birth remains. Jesus is described as our peace, breaking down dividing walls and creating unity. The Vincentian tradition emphasizes personal peace, healing relationships, and working for societal peace. The document encourages being peaceful, seeking to reconcile, and practicing peacemaking during Advent.

Advent letter Fr. Richard McCullen, CM
This letter from the Superior General Richard McCullen invites the recipient to partake in an Advent meditation. It reflects on the contrast between the grandeur of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and the simplicity of Jesus's life in Galilee and birth in Bethlehem. The greatest contrast is found within the Incarnation itself, that the fullness of God dwelt within a human body. St. Vincent de Paul reflected on Christ becoming poor for our sake, and sought to do the same in serving the poor. What we bring to the poor must come from our relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer and the sacraments.
The Pleasing Aroma of Christ
The document summarizes Paul's message in 2 Corinthians 2:12-17 about being led by God in Christ's victory procession. It discusses how Christians spread the aroma of Christ to those who are being saved and those who are perishing. Paul does not water down or sell God's word for profit, but speaks with sincerity as one sent from God. The document encourages Christians to love God's word and speak it honestly while standing in Christ's presence.
Coopers coborn choice of art on poverty
This document discusses several paintings and biblical stories that were analyzed by students to understand how Christians ought to respond to global poverty.

The document discusses Jesus' attitude of humility and service. It notes that Jesus, though fully God, took on human form and the role of a servant to save humanity. It encourages readers to emulate Jesus' selfless attitude by getting involved in missions despite any inconvenience, seeing it as an investment with eternal returns, as Jesus got involved and endured the cross for believers.
Gospel of John Chapter 2
The document summarizes passages from the Gospel of John about Jesus and his timing. It discusses how Jesus said his time had not yet come on the third day and in other passages from John. It also discusses a verse from John 2:23 where after many people saw Jesus' miraculous signs at the Passover Feast and believed in him, but Jesus would not entrust himself to them, as he knew what was in each person.
Wol1409(1)
Saint Paul recommends that the Christians in Rome welcome one another as Christ welcomed them, for the glory of God. This was meant to help overcome attitudes of prejudice, discrimination, and intolerance between believers from Gentile and Jewish backgrounds. Jesus called all to faith regardless of their diversity and past, bringing them together as one body. The document encourages living this Word of Life by welcoming all neighbors, especially those different or excluded, as Jesus welcomed everyone with love.
Homily: Christ the King 2013
This homily discusses the Feast of Christ the King and what it means to follow Christ as king. It was established by Pope Pius XI in response to rising fascism and a desire to remind Christians that their true allegiance is to Christ, not earthly powers. The homily uses several Gospel stories from the past liturgical year to illustrate what it means to live and love like Christ, including the story of Bartimaeus, and concludes that Christ's kingship is based on loving and serving others, not human power.
No not one
The document is a poem praising Jesus Christ as the perfect friend who is always there to help with struggles. It repeats the line "There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus, No, not one!" to emphasize that Jesus is uniquely kind, understanding, and willing to help both saints and sinners, and that there is no greater gift or friend than him.
Palm Sunday
Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt to fulfill the prophecy in Zechariah 9:9. The people put palm branches on the path in front of Jesus and shouted "Hosanna!" which means "save us" as they welcomed him as the Son of David. The document is about the Palm Sunday story from the Bible and includes questions about the key events, a memory verse of what the people said about Jesus, and mentions worship.

The Cities of Refuge
God provided the cities of refuge so that those who had accidentally killed another could flee to a place of justice and mercy. In the Messiah, we all have this hope.. We can flee to Jesus for refuge from our sins, but this also requires that we remember that our congregation is to be a place of refuge for one another and also those who are lost in sin.

It is a war that exists through the silences and in the cracks that allow complete histories and realities to slip through…..it is a city that lives the violence and genocide that has been its history…a city that continues to be shredded by the complexities of division and violence. The violence of the city, of its extremes of wealth and poverty and the irreconcilable realities that exist inside of these extremes, mark everyone each day in ways that are not always clear, conscious or visible.”

The ten lepers
Jesus healed ten men who had leprosy by telling them to go show themselves to the priests. As they went, they were cleansed of their disease. Only one of the men, a Samaritan, returned to thank Jesus. Jesus questioned why the other nine did not come back to give thanks as well. The story teaches that we should remember to stop, go back, and thank God for his goodness and healing in our lives.

Facing the Truth about Christmas
There is a temptation to stop at Christmas and not complete the Journey with Jesus. This year we face the harsh reality that Christmas is not the ending but the beginning of a whole new adventure.
Who Killed Jesus?
Dr. Peter Hammond's presentation examines who was responsible for the sufferings and death of Jesus Christ. He discusses the roles of Pontius Pilate, the religious leaders, Judas, and ultimately concludes that it was the sins of all humanity that Christ died for. While Pilate, the religious leaders, Judas, and the mob pressured for his death, Jesus himself willingly laid down his life as the perfect sacrifice and atonement for sin. He bore the punishment for our transgressions so that through faith in him, we may be forgiven and reconciled to God.
Running on empty
This document discusses the biblical story of a widow who was left penniless with two sons after her husband died. God instructed her to borrow more empty vessels from her neighbors. When she did, her oil and flour miraculously never ran out and she was able to support her family. The document draws several spiritual applications, including that intimacy with God requires being emptied of sin, self, and substitutes. It encourages readers who feel empty to surrender fully to experience God filling them with understanding, joy, and his intimate presence.
Revving up your metabolism
The document provides tips for increasing metabolism by getting adequate sleep, avoiding crash diets and skipping meals, staying hydrated, consuming calcium-rich foods and spices, and engaging in regular cardiovascular exercise and weight training to build muscle mass and boost calorie burning. Poor eating habits, lack of exercise, inadequate sleep, and other lifestyle factors can cause metabolism to slow over time. Adopting healthy lifestyle changes can help speed up metabolism and make it easier to maintain a healthy weight.

The document discusses Jesus' teaching that those who are humble and acknowledge their spiritual poverty, like tax collectors and sinners, will be blessed and find the kingdom of God. In contrast, those who are self-righteous and complacent about their moral performance, like the Pharisees, will not. It references passages like the Beatitudes and the parable of the Pharisee and tax collector to illustrate that one must recognize their need for God and confess their sins to be made right with God.
Easter Sunday
The document discusses the women who were present at Jesus' crucifixion and burial. It notes that a group of women, including Mary Magdalene, remained devoted to Jesus even when the male disciples had fled. These women witnessed his death and burial, and were the first to discover the empty tomb on Easter morning. They were honored to be the first recipients of the news that Jesus had risen from the dead, a message that would change the world. The document emphasizes that Easter is the central point of history, and that we must each decide whether to believe in Jesus or reject him.

Series jesus is -______ - message – part 6 - jesus is alive – sunday 03-2...
The document discusses the significance of Easter and Jesus' resurrection. It asserts that if Jesus was not resurrected, then Christian faith is meaningless (1 Corinthians 15:14-19). However, Jesus was resurrected, as described in the gospels and 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, and this has important implications:
1) When one experiences the resurrection, it sets them free from the burdens of the past by forgiving sins.
2) It makes a difference in the present by transforming one's life and empowering one through God's spirit.
3) It gives hope for the future and eternal life, as Jesus conquered death through his resurrection.
Are you running on empty.
A widow was left penniless after her husband died, with no money, food, or means of support. Everything in her home was empty. In her desperate situation, she turned to God for help. Though she had experienced great emptiness, when she turned to God, He filled her life with blessings. The passage encourages readers who feel empty in their lives to turn to God as well, who can fill them with peace and joy.
Easter Concert message
1) Jesus Christ came to earth to teach people good morals and perform miracles to help others.
2) All humans are born sinful and separated from God, deserving death for their sins.
3) Jesus willingly suffered and died on the cross to pay the price for people's sins so that they may be forgiven and granted eternal life with God.

Peter identifies Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus commends Peter for this confession, saying that his heavenly Father revealed this truth to him.

It also examines the significance of Peter's confession and the revelation needed to understand Jesus' true nature and role as the Messiah.
01-Joseph.docx
Joseph was Mary's husband and the earthly guardian of Jesus. He was of the house of David and a carpenter by trade. Joseph was a just and godly man who obediently followed God's commands. When he discovered Mary was pregnant, he was confused since the child was not his own, but an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him the child was conceived by the Holy Spirit. Joseph then took Mary into his home as his wife. The passage focuses on Joseph's character and role in God's plan rather than providing many details about him as the focus is on Jesus.
Try Jesus (SDA Bible Doctrines)
This document discusses the unity and reliability of the Bible. It notes that the Bible was written over 1600 years by 40 different authors yet presents a coherent message about God and his relationship with humanity. The Bible has transformed millions of lives through history by its message about Jesus Christ. The recurring theme of the Old Testament is the promised coming of the Messiah, which the New Testament shows was fulfilled through Jesus.
Acts 4b Boldness comes through the Holy Spirit.
Peter and John were arrested for preaching about Jesus and spent the night in prison. The next morning, they were brought before religious leaders but no charges could be made against them due to the miraculous healing. The religious leaders threatened Peter and John not to speak about Jesus anymore, but they refused, saying they must obey God rather than men. The leaders then let them go as they could find no way to punish them due to the people supporting Peter and John.
Taking a stand for Christ-2013@KIPKABUS HIGH SCHOOL
Joseph of Arimathea took a bold stand for Christ by asking Pilate for Jesus' body after the crucifixion. Joseph had previously been a secret disciple of Jesus out of fear, but witnessing Jesus' death gave him courage to properly bury Him in Joseph's own tomb. Though it risked his reputation and position on the Jewish council, Joseph provided Jesus an honorable burial, giving evidence for Christianity. To take a stand like Joseph, one must be willing to sacrifice reputation or position and face potential costs of identifying with Christ. Frequent reflection on Christ's death and resurrection can strengthen resolve to remain firm in faith.
Essential 1
The document discusses theories about the historical Jesus from The Da Vinci Code and other Gnostic gospels, as well as arguments for why the Jesus portrayed in the canonical gospels is accurate. It notes that the canonical gospels are the earliest accounts, are supported by eyewitnesses, reliably report historical people and places, and were accepted by early church leaders. The document also examines Jesus' genealogy in Matthew and how it fulfilled Jewish messianic prophecies by tracing his lineage to Abraham and David through both Jewish and gentile women, showing Jesus came to save all people.
Last two minutes!!
This document discusses signs that we are in the "last of the last days" based on an analysis of Matthew 24. It argues that:
1. The Bible provides a prophetic timeline and markers to determine where we are, without date-setting.
2. If the last days are compared to a basketball game, we are in the 4th quarter, even the final two minutes.
3. Jesus outlined signs for his second coming and the end of the age in Matthew 24, including wars, rumors of wars, false prophets, nations against nations, earthquakes, and pestilences. The document argues we have seen an unprecedented fulfillment of these signs in the last 100 years.

A sermon on John 12:20-36 delivered at Palm Desert Church of Christ (California) by Dale Wells on August 24, 2008.
Activated: We Shall be Changed
The document discusses three articles from a newsletter:
1) "We Shall Be Changed" discusses the resurrection and how believers will receive new, perfected bodies free from sickness and death.
2) "The Eyewitness" is a fictional first-person account of Malchus, the man whose ear was cut off during Jesus' arrest. It describes his role in Jesus' arrest and trial, and how Jesus healed and forgave him.
3) "Beyond the Hiccup" imagines an interview with God about the end times and what will happen after death. It promotes a message of hope and assurance in God's plans.
What's going on?
What's Going On" is a 1971 song by Marvin Gaye about the political and social unrest of the time. It addresses issues like the Vietnam War, drug abuse, and assassinations of leaders. Gaye was inspired to write the song based on his brother's experiences in Vietnam and concerns about problems facing African Americans and society more broadly. The song touched on deep problems challenging humanity's progress and still resonates today in its message.
Homily: 3rd Sunday of Advent .docx
This weekend we hear in Matthew’s Gospel of John the Baptist sitting in a jail cell and wondering if he placed his bets on the wrong guy…questioning if the Lord is anywhere near to him. Then again, when we are faced with adversity, doubt, and loss how often have we questioned “Where is God?” and “Is the Lord anywhere near?” See how a street corner in Louisville and the wisdom of Thomas Merton may just open our eyes to see in a new way so that we can join in the chorus of Gaudete! Rejoice! on this 3rd Sunday of Advent.
Kanye West: A Modern Way to Worship
Kanye West has found religion and uses his fame and music to spread his Christian faith. He holds weekly Sunday Service events that are invite-only concerts featuring gospel-inspired remixes of his songs. West analyzes biblical verses in his songs from his album "Jesus Is King" to convey religious messages about cleansing from sin and God's power. He hopes his newfound faith will influence popular culture.
DNC Times - June 2015
This document discusses the calling and purpose of consecrated religious life. It begins by discussing how centuries ago individuals left communities to seek God in the quiet of deserts and mountains, laying the foundation for present religious life. It then discusses how religious life has evolved from retreating from the world to dwelling within it with great awareness of the spirit. The document calls religious to be prophets and voices in society, quitting comfortable lives within religious houses to serve humanity. It provides perspectives on how religious are called to critically examine their lives and fulfill their mission to be genuine voices of the Lord.
Jesus was the greatest jew
This is a study of Jesus as the greatest Jew. Others are in contention for the title, but when you compare them with Jesus it is not a real contest.
Homily: The Feast of the Epiphany for 2024
For the past 12 days we have heard the stories of the birth of Jesus Christ as God incarnate indeed good news of great joy all people. So, on this Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord we celebrate Jesus revealed as the Christ Child to the magi, who arrive by the light of the star. Every year we listen to this well-known Gospel story of the journey of the magi who pay homage to the Christ Child. But today I invite you to just focus on two lines that appear in the Gospel. What are they? Check it out because…as you will you see, any interaction with this Jesus the Christ, no matter where or how it happens, will change your own journey.

More from David Walters
Are you running on empty.
A widow was left penniless after her husband died, with no money, food, or means of support. Everything in her home was empty. In her desperation, she turned to God. Though she had experienced great emptiness, when she turned to God, He filled her life with blessings. The document encourages readers that if they feel empty in life, they should turn to God to find peace and joy, just as He filled the widow's life.
Lost
This short document provides guidance for those who feel lost by recommending turning to God and Jesus, who said "I am the way, the truth, and the life" as referenced in John 14:6. It suggests those unsure of which path to take should turn to God as the one true way.
Take courage my friend.
Take courage, as God will go with you to fight for you and save you from your enemies, according to Deuteronomy 20:3-4. It takes courage to obey God and go where he sends you, as David must have felt facing Goliath. Whatever God has asked you to do, remember that he will be with you through it all.
Count your blessings.
This document encourages counting blessings rather than troubles, as God's love and goodness endure. When feeling down, consider all the ways God has blessed you each day, as named in songs and scripture. Even on hard days, God remains present to offer comfort and companionship.
Do you want a new heart?
This document discusses how God offers to give people a new heart and spirit through forgiveness of sins and filling them with His love, which has been changing people for thousands of years, as an alternative to medical procedures like bypasses and heart transplants that are used today to treat heart conditions.
Love 4.
God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. The passage questions whether one believes that God loves not just the world but them personally. It asserts that while some believe God loves and cares for others, God truly does love and care for everyone, including the reader, but asks if the reader also loves God in return.
Praise 2.
This document discusses counting blessings, both seen and unseen. It references a hymn about counting blessings one by one, but questions if people truly thank God for those blessings. While minds typically count visible blessings, the document also encourages considering God's invisible hand in one's life.
Joy 3.
Jesus said that by asking and receiving, our joy will be complete. While circumstances may trouble us, real joy comes from the presence of Christ, not the absence of problems. Even in difficult times, true joy in the Lord cannot be taken away.
Love 3.
This passage from Ephesians and accompanying text discusses the enduring love of God. It prays that readers may understand the vast dimensions of Christ's love for all people. No matter how badly one fails or feels unloved, God's love remains constant and true. The text encourages accepting that God truly loves each person today.
Bread of life.
The passage discusses the phrase "give us this day our daily bread" from the Lord's Prayer. While bread sustains us physically, we must also feed on the "bread of life" or God's Word daily to sustain us spiritually. We need both physical bread and the bread of God's Word.
Forgiveness 2.
Forgiveness is an act of endless forgiveness, just as God daily forgives us when we trust in Him through Christ's death and resurrection. God made the first move by forgiving our sins and continues to forgive us despite our failures, so we must forgive those who fail us as the Lord has forgiven us.
Love 2.
God's love is made visible through Jesus, not just possible. Real love is shown through attention, affection and sacrifice for others, without words. To know how much God loves you, look at what he sacrificed on the cross at Calvary.
Joy 2.
This passage discusses finding joy through God. It notes that babies smile at their parents because of the love and joy they bring. Similarly, getting to know God better through daily time with Him can be the source of great joy, as He wants to be the cause of our happiness and delight.
Thankful.
The passage encourages keeping the word of Christ dwelling within through teaching and admonishing one another with wisdom, singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude to God. It suggests that practicing gratitude through starting each day with thanks and ending thankful helps keep one spiritually strong by maintaining an attitude of gratitude.
Worry.
The Bible verse 1 John 4:12 states that no one has seen God, but if we love each other, God lives in us and His love is perfected in us. The document encourages the reader not to feel discouraged because God's love is at work in their life and He helps us love others as He loves us. It suggests asking God for help in knowing how to meet needs and build relationships.
Care
The Bible passage encourages cheerful giving without reluctance or compulsion as God loves generous donors. Mother Teresa advised helping one person if unable to help many. For some, happiness comes from others showing they care. Giving can cheer one's own heart and life.
Love.
God demonstrated His love for humanity by sending His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross as a sacrifice for humanity's sins while we were still sinners, separated from God. The cross provides objective proof of God's love in that He offered up His own Son to atone for our sins. Calvary, where Jesus died, is the absolute and irrefutable evidence of God's love for us.
Praise
This short passage discusses appreciating those who help you and seeing the best in others. It references Psalm 34:1 about always praising God and extolling the Lord. Seeing the positives in people leads to discovering blessings around you.
Mercy
Mercy is a gift from God that He asks us to give to others through forgiveness, not because they deserve it but because of the mercy God has shown us. When we show mercy and forgiveness to others, it also brings freedom to ourselves. God asks us to walk humbly with Him by showing mercy as He has shown mercy to us.
Joy.
Jesus found His joy not in earthly pleasures but in obeying God's will by enduring the cross to deal with sin and death once for all. This allowed believers to have full and lasting joy through their relationship with Jesus, as He discussed with His disciples.

312 A Wise Woman of Abel Beth Maakah Saves The Town
Sermon adapted from, Discovering Christ Day by Day, David Fortner
A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...
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 Cross Or The Crowd?
- 2. I want to speak about TWO groups or crowds of people. Note on that first Easter, there where TWO crowds. With TWO far-reaching
- 3. One crowd called out “Hosanna!” Hoping for Jesus to be given a CROWN of gold, placing Him on a throne. One crowd honoured Him. One crowd named Him
- 4. The other cried, “Crucify Him!” Wanting Jesus to be given a CROWN of thorns, placing Him upon a cross. They killed Him. They
- 5. These TWO crowds gathered around the same man, in the same city, for the same event, (the Jewish Passover), some maybe the same people. One day Jesus was a hero. A few short days later Jesus was given a criminals death.
- 6. Both events were driven by the wishes of a crowd. I wonder if you had been there, which crowd would you have been in? The first, the second or maybe both? Things have not changed; you and I are in one of these TWO crowds. Either Jesus is your Lord and you have come here to worship Him for who He is, or you are a part of the crowd who refuses to acknowledge Him. You are either for Him or against Him. For there is no middle ground.
- 7. THE CROWD FOR JESUS. John 12:19 “Look how the whole world has gone after him!‟” We are all individuals with an eternal soul that will live forever and the final destination of our soul is completely linked to what we believe about this man Jesus who rode into Jerusalem on a donkey 2000 years ago. What God will do with us in eternity; will depend on what we will do with His Son in the here and now!
- 8. Being a Christian is not a popularity contest; it is a decision, we must ALL make. I do not care what everyone else is doing. I do not care what others are saying. I do not care what others are watching I do not care where others are going.
- 9. THE CROWD AGAINST JESUS. Matthew 27:20, 22 “What shall I do then, with Jesus who is called Christ?‟ Pilate asked. They all answered, „Crucify him!‟” The need to be popular is a dangerous thing. To have the latest fashion, mp3, mobile phone, iPod, if the right crowd has it, we MUST have it also, where is
- 10. THE CROWD OR THE CROSS? Listen to TWO voices! Which is the louder to you? The CROWD or the CROSS? The CROWD says follow us, the CROSS says follow Me! The CROWD says rely on yourself, the CROSS says rely on Me! The CROWD says earn your worth, the CROSS says I am your worth! The CROWD says bear your burdens, the CROSS say nail them to Me! The CROWD says be happy, the CROSS says be holy! The CROWD says if it feels good do it, the CROSS says for loves sake endures! The CROWD says do, the CROSS says it is done!
