Jesus was determined to go to Jerusalem to fulfill God's plan to sacrifice himself and save humanity from sin. However, some rejected him, like the Samaritans due to prejudice. The disciples also showed intolerance when they wanted to destroy a village, but Jesus rebuked them for not understanding that his purpose was to save souls, not destroy them. Saving souls, including one's own soul, is of utmost importance.

How to Develop a Closer Walk with God
Jesus developed a close walk with God through daily spiritual disciplines of rising early to pray, seeking God before the distractions of the day, and intentionally removing himself from others to pray alone. These disciplines required determination to prioritize time with God each morning, leaving behind comfort and distractions, and developing habits of prayer and devotion.
Vintage 4.21.19 easter_sunday
This prayer thanks God for God's life-giving presence and promises of redemption. It asks that God will uphold believers as they face trials in life, and that at the end they will share in Christ's resurrection, restored and freed to be God's people forever.
Luk4 1f desert
The document describes Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist and his subsequent temptation in the desert by Satan. It discusses how after his baptism, when Jesus was praying the Holy Spirit descended on him like a dove and God declared him his beloved Son. It then describes how after this, Jesus spent 40 days in the desert where he fasted and was tempted three times by Satan to compromise his commitment to God, but Jesus resisted these temptations by quoting scripture each time.
What is Manhood
The document discusses the biblical views of manhood, including:
1) Pre-Fall, mankind was created by God to rule over the earth and inhabit it, for God's glory.
2) Post-Fall, mankind remains created by God but is in a fallen, sinful state, and Satan now rules the world. However, Jesus restores mankind's lost sonship.
3) The author, James, identifies himself as a "slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ" which defined his existence, walk, and ministry.
Redefining Faithfulness, Pastor Rick Paladin
The document summarizes key passages from 1 Kings and Matthew about faithfulness. It discusses how David charged Solomon to be faithful to God's commands before he died. It also references passages about being faithful with responsibilities and rewards. The document then summarizes parts of Acts that show how the early church redefined faithfulness by overcoming obstacles, allowing Gentiles in, resolving disputes, and planting churches across the world. It stresses that growth requires increasing productivity for God's kingdom, not just adding volume. The summary encourages redefining faithfulness by having a clear why, what, and how.
When faith gets sick
This document contains several biblical passages and reflections on resurrection, life, sin, death, and God's power and faithfulness. It discusses Jesus telling Martha that her brother Lazarus will rise again from John 11. It also references God not forsaking his people from 1 Samuel 12, God leading in righteousness from Psalm 23, and preaching by the power of God not man's wisdom from 1 Corinthians 2. The document contrasts resurrection and life with sin and death, and says drawing near to God leads to life while forsaking him leads to death, as referenced from Deuteronomy 30. It concludes that if God can remake the universe, he can remake people as well.
You Are the Light of the World
Why does Jesus call His disciples "salt"? What are the functions of salt? Why does He mention "salt" before light? What are the characteristics of light? Why does Jesus call His disciples "light"? What are the functions of light? Why would anyone think of hiding their light or placing their light "under a basket"? How, practically, does a Christian "let their light shine"? How does light shine from a follower of Jesus? Where does the believer's light shine?

Health & wealth gospel a kingdom perspective 17.7.16
1. The document discusses the problems with the "health and wealth gospel" promoted by some televangelists. It argues this prosperity theology takes verses out of context and promotes a self-centered agenda rather than a God-centered perspective.
2. A kingdom of God perspective recognizes the tension between what is "already" true in Christ and what is "not yet" fulfilled. While God desires health and provision, suffering and poverty still exist as part of living in a fallen world.
3. Rather than demand healing through positive confession, Christians should approach God with gratitude, humility, and trust, recognizing healing as a gift rather than an obligation. Overall health and wealth should not be the focus of faith.

Jesus' mission was to save sinners and bring the Kingdom of God through preaching and performing miracles of healing and deliverance (paragraphs 7-11). Christians continue Jesus' mission by exercising faith for signs, wonders, and miracles today (paragraphs 12-14).

Philippians Outline 10 25 09
1) Jesus Christ became fully human while still fully God in order to redeem humanity from sin and transform believers into his image.

Ssm Theology Week 7
Angels and demons have different roles and hierarchies. Angels are God's messengers and military forces, divided into seven orders including cherubim and seraphim. Demons were fallen angels led by Satan, divided into five orders including thrones and dominions. Satan was an angel who rebelled against God and now slanders God and deceives humans. He tempts believers to sin using various strategies. Demons oppose God and frustrate His purposes, supporting Satan's rule. They seek to control humans and animals, and cause impurity and infirmity.

It encourages being courageous when in the minority, under temptation, needing to reprove sin, or when obedience seems unreasonable. It provides Bible verses supporting having strong confidence in God during difficult times and that with Christ's strength, believers can endure all things.
Treasures Old & New
The Parable of Householder (Matthew 13). Christians are scribes who value the connections between the Old and New Testaments.
Partakers of His Holiness
God is inherently holy, righteous, and just in his nature and cannot do wrong. He desires for humanity to partake in his divine nature and be holy as he is holy so that they can be with him eternally in glory. Therefore, humans must be born again spiritually and do what is right to become holy ones as God calls them to be in order to attain their hope of being like God forever.
Be still my soul
God is described as a rock in the Bible, representing salvation, refuge, defense, strength, and glory. Because God is a rock, the Psalmist encourages trusting in Him alone rather than in people or money, and waiting silently for Him while pouring out one's heart.
Rescued-chile mine
This document uses the 2010 Chilean mine disaster as an analogy for salvation through Jesus Christ. It discusses how (1) help must come from above, like God sending Jesus to save humanity, (2) those above did the hard work of planning and executing the rescue while the rescued miners' role was relatively easy, and (3) there will be a great reunion in heaven between believers, just as the miners were reunited with their families after being rescued.
Between Heaven And Earth
The document discusses how Christ bridged the gap between heaven and earth by becoming our intercessor, mediator, and the ladder between heaven and earth. It explains that Christ sacrificed himself to pay the redemption price, was raised to make continuous intercession, and fulfilled the role of mediator perfectly by being acceptable to both God and humanity and seeking peace rather than his own will. The bridge between heaven and earth is paid for by Christ's blood, built according to the covenant he mediated, and is Christ himself.
How to React to Mistreatment
The document provides guidance on how to handle being mistreated. It advises that God expects you to react like Jesus did with patience and forgiveness. While God considers your mistreatment, your standing with Him depends on your own behavior in response. The document recommends asking God for strength, seeing mistreatment as a blessing, allowing God to enact vengeance, loving and praying for those who mistreat you, and returning good for evil. The key point is that God will judge you based on how you treat others, not on how others treat you.
There they crucified him
They crucified Jesus at a place called Golgotha, also known as Calvary, which means "the skull". Roman soldiers carried out the crucifixion on Jesus, the Son of God and Lord of Glory, in accordance with the will of the Jewish leaders and as a fulfillment of scripture that he would die for the sins of humanity.
The true church
The document discusses how there is one true God and one true church, and provides marks to identify the true church. It asserts that the true church has the right builder in Jesus Christ, follows the authority of scripture, and has the right organization established by the apostles. The true church also spreads the word of God, helps the needy, and worships through singing, praying, and taking communion.
Sin is Like a Kidney Stone
Sin is compared to a kidney stone in that even small sins can cause great pain, the pain of sin may disappear for a time but the problem remains, and sin can do significant damage. While getting rid of sin through repentance is difficult, the relief afterwards is great, though there is a risk of sin recurring. Everyone is susceptible to sin, so it should be dealt with through the help of a spiritual professional like Jesus.
Does Jesus care?
Jesus cares deeply for those who are struggling. He understands pain, temptation, sadness, and fear. The Bible tells us that through his sacrifice, Jesus opened the way for us to bring our burdens to God. We can cast all our anxieties on Jesus, and he will help and comfort us. No matter what challenges we face, Jesus is always with us.
Ppc why notconvert
The document discusses reasons why churches are not converting the world to Christianity through sharing the gospel message. It argues that churches are not viewing the world as lost and in need of salvation, their message has shifted away from the gospel, and they are content to just maintain their congregations rather than actively work to reach the lost. It encourages churches to become more evangelistic by sharing the gospel with friends and family, conducting home Bible studies, inviting people to services, and committing more time, effort and resources to spreading the message of Christ.
Back to Bethel
Like Jacob, Christians may drift away from the Lord and forget their covenant. We need to get back to Bethel (the house of God) and renew our covenant!
Ezekiel: The Man Who Ate the Message
Ezekiel ate a scroll given to him by God, representing taking God's word within himself. He was then instructed to share the contents of the scroll with others, demonstrating how prophets must first internalize God's message before proclaiming it. Ezekiel sat with others as instructed, and was shown that failing to warn both wicked and righteous people about God's word would put his own soul at stake.
Hezekiah’s Indiscretion
Hezekiah received envoys from Babylon who came with letters and gifts. Hezekiah showed the envoys all his treasures. Isaiah questioned Hezekiah about the envoys and what they saw. Isaiah prophesied that Babylon would one day come and take all of Hezekiah's treasures. Hezekiah saw Isaiah's words as good because they did not affect him at the present time.
Choosing Sides
This document discusses choosing sides between God and the world. It notes that there is no neutral stance - one must either be a friend of God or a friend of the world. Choosing God's side means being on the winning side that will never be overwhelmed and will be led by God, while those not with God will face His wrath. The story is told of the Israelites worshiping a golden calf after Moses received the Ten Commandments, showing people actively choosing sides, and how the Levites had already chosen God's side. Overall, the passage encourages choosing the Lord's side each day.
I Excuse Myself
Self justification is often self deception. It's important to be aware when we're doing it and how to avoid it.
Elevating Self
The document discusses why self-elevation is wrong based on biblical passages. It notes that Jesus told a parable about a Pharisee who elevated himself by boasting about his righteousness compared to others. However, Jesus taught that the Pharisee was not justified before God and that everyone who exalts themselves will be humbled. Additionally, several proverbs warn that pride comes before destruction and that there is more hope for a fool than for someone who is wise in their own eyes. The document concludes by advising humility under God in order to be exalted at the proper time.
The 9 X 3 Servant Of God

10 gods right_to_choose_system_of_justification
Paul addresses the concern that God's word has failed if justification comes through faith in Christ rather than the law. He explains that God has the right to choose who receives mercy, using the examples of Isaac/Ishmael and Jacob/Esau. While some Israelites were not the children of promise, God's promises are true. God's hardening of Pharaoh's heart shows His power to save. The goal was to show His mercy to both Jews and Gentiles through faith in Christ alone.

Self elevation
Paul warned against thinking too highly of oneself because Jesus taught that those who elevate themselves will be humbled. The Pharisee in Jesus' parable elevated himself over the tax collector by thanking God he was not like other sinners, but the tax collector who humbled himself was justified. Proverbs also warns that pride comes before destruction while humility precedes honor.
At Jesus' feet

The document concludes with a quote from Psalms describing the benefits one receives from blessing and forgetting not the benefits of the Lord.
The last day
The document describes events that occur on the last day when Jesus returns. It tells of warning sirens sounding and people realizing this is the end. One person wants to be baptized now realizing it may be too late. Strange things start happening and someone sees Jesus in the sky. Fires break out and people are brought before God for judgment. One person claims to have been Christian their life but is still sent to darkness, realizing God has forgotten and left them alone forever. The epilogue discusses three people not ready - one who refused to obey the gospel, one with secret sin, and one who was a hypocrite. It asks what the reader's story would be if Jesus returned right now.
Throwback uniforms

Fulfillment
Solomon attempted to find fulfillment through pleasures, possessions, alcohol, sex, family, and achievements but concluded that the only true fulfillment is found in God. The document goes on to say that fulfillment is found specifically in Christ, who is the reason for all of creation and fills believers. Christians should comprehend that as believers in Christ they are filled with peace, and only Christ can provide true and complete fulfillment.
The greatest sermon ever preached
The document discusses the qualities of the greatest sermon ever preached according to the Bible. It states that greatness is hindered by pride but attained through humility, as exemplified by John the Baptist.

Becoming strong in grace
The document discusses how to become strong in grace through God. It states that grace is accessed through faith in Jesus Christ. A person can grow stronger in grace by using their God-given abilities, being humble, walking uprightly, giving, and through God's word.

learning how to count
This passage discusses how to properly count or view different aspects of life according to biblical principles.

The overall message is about gaining the right perspective on life's challenges and priorities according to God's word.
false prophets
The document warns about false prophets who speak without God's authority, diverting people from the truth and dividing communities, with false prophets facing damnation. It encourages detecting false prophets by testing whether their teachings are consistent with God's word, as many false prophets exist in the world seeking to mislead people.
lame sacrifices
The document discusses lame sacrifices that do not honor God. It notes that while the Law required unblemished animals for sacrifice, God was more concerned with the condition of the worshipper's heart. Lame sacrifices are characterized as being half-hearted and of inferior quality, dishonoring to God.

It concludes by emphasizing that we were redeemed through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
The ark and the church
The document compares and contrasts the biblical Ark built by Noah and the Church. It notes that both were built by God through Noah and Christ respectively, both have one builder, and both provide salvation for those within (the Ark and the Church) while those outside face destruction. The Ark and Church each have one window, one door, and serve as the family for those who are inside.
the last chapter
The document discusses how one can make the most of their "last chapter" in life by being obedient to God, having peace and hope, and partaking in Christ. It notes that in one's final days, they can avoid simply following what seems right, disobeying the gospel, and collecting wages of sin. The document concludes that one's last chapter does not need to be "the end" if they become slaves to God, as the end can instead be everlasting life.
Ppc pleasing god

Ppc if i have done this
If I have done THIS, Then I deserve THAT! A Study of Sin and its Just Consequences (Job 31) outlines various sins and their corresponding just consequences. It examines sins such as dishonesty, selfishness, unfaithfulness, lack of consideration for dependents, failure to help the helpless, trusting in riches over God, rejoicing in others' misfortunes, lack of hospitality, hiding sins, and taking things without paying. It observes that sin is more common than we think, we deserve bad outcomes from committing sin, few could claim to have avoided all these sins, and while forgiveness is available from God through Jesus, earthly consequences may still result from our sins.
Moving god
The document discusses different ways people can move God out of the way in their lives, including: Balaam doing it for money, Martha doing it because she was busy, and Israelites doing it because God's word made them uncomfortable. It then gives examples of Israel moving God out of the way to fit in with others through idolatry and refusing to acknowledge God. The document concludes by warning not to move God out of the way by putting oneself first, engaging in sinful behaviors, or committing sexual immorality.
Solomon
Solomon began his reign after his father David's death and received counsel from David. Solomon asked God for wisdom and used his God-given abilities to benefit Israel by purging corrupt leaders, building the temple, and gaining wealth and fame. However, Solomon's many foreign marriages turned him to idolatry, which caused God to become angry and led to division in Israel after Solomon's death.
The Temptation to Take Shortcuts
Jesus was tempted to take three shortcuts during his time in the wilderness: turning stones to bread instead of working, receiving glory by showing off instead of through death and resurrection, and receiving authority over nations by bowing to Satan instead of completing his work. The passage discusses how spiritual shortcuts often do not lead to the intended destination and can be the longest route. It provides examples of spiritual shortcuts like bypassing repentance in salvation, claiming salvation through faith alone, once saved always saved doctrine, and not properly training children. The conclusion is that there are no shortcuts to salvation, spiritual maturity, or success as a Christian.
