This sermon discusses a Bible passage where Jesus warns Peter that Satan wants to test his faith and that Peter will deny knowing Jesus three times before the rooster crows. The sermon says this reveals that the Devil seeks to destroy believers' faith, but is limited by God's permission. It also shows that believers like Peter are in need of God's grace due to their own failings and overconfidence, but can be transformed through Christ's power, as happened when Peter later preached at Pentecost.

Where Is Your Faith
The sermon discusses Jesus calming a storm after the disciples woke him up in fear. It asks "Where is your faith?" and then defines faith as the confident assurance of God's promises. It says faith is not a feeling. The sermon provides three steps for reacting to storms: 1) refuse to be controlled by fear through claiming faith in God's promises, 2) remind yourself of God's power through creative faith, and 3) rely on God through conquering faith that overcomes the world. In conclusion, it states that claiming faith affirms our identity, creative faith affirms God's gifts, and conquering faith affirms our power through God.

John 3
Nicodemus, a Pharisee and ruler of the Jews, comes to Jesus at night seeking answers. Jesus tells Nicodemus that no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. He explains that one must be born of water and the Spirit to enter the kingdom of God. Jesus likens being born again to the wind, which one cannot tell where it comes from or goes. Later, Jesus tells Nicodemus that God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. He was sent by God not to condemn the world but to save it.

Salvation 1-2-3
1. Salvation is found only through Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to God except through him.
2. God showed his love for mankind by sending his Son, Jesus, to die as a sacrifice so that all may be saved. Man is saved through faith in Jesus and believing in his resurrection.
3. Man has a body, soul, and spirit. Salvation involves the salvation of each part: the spirit is saved through justification, the soul through sanctification, and the body will be saved through future glorification when it is resurrected and transformed.
Why Should We Rejoice?
Life can be difficult due to various challenges like aging, heartache, and poor choices. Following Jesus may initially seem to make life easier but could actually make it more difficult, as Jesus calls his followers to bring healing and hope to those in need, which may burden them with others' pain and problems. Paul's life as a Christian was difficult due to persecutions, imprisonments, and other hardships, yet he found strength through Christ and was able to endure these challenges for the sake of spreading the gospel.

This message was delivered at LifePointe Church on Sunday, April 10, 2016.
Saved by grace
The document discusses that salvation is a gift from God's grace, not by works or human effort. It is through faith that one is saved. Several Bible verses are presented that discuss how salvation delivers people from sin, death, and judgment. Ephesians 2:9 says salvation is a gift from God, not based on works, so that no one can boast. People are born sinners but through faith in Jesus Christ there is no condemnation. Salvation demonstrates God's riches at Christ's expense.
Youth gathering
God's salvation is received freely through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works or deeds, according to the Bible passages. The verses from Ephesians state that salvation is a gift from God received through faith, not by works, so that no one can boast.

Both passages convey that salvation comes through faith in Jesus, not by any human works or merits.

Serve like a slave
This document discusses three things to remember when feeling tired of serving the Lord: 1) Think about how one used to be a slave to sin but is now free and righteous through accepting Jesus; 2) Appreciate one's new status as part of God's family and heir to eternal life; 3) Reflect on now being slaves to righteousness and God, which leads to holiness and eternal life.

For those who believe, there will be a judgment of their works, while for non-believers there will be a judgment of condemnation and eternal punishment in flaming fire. The document encourages sharing the message of Jesus with others so they may be saved from this judgment.

This suggests Christian now fully grasps that his righteousness comes not from works but through faith in Christ alone, who paid the price for sin through his atoning sacrifice.
Blessed Are The Merciful

Pastor Lance Brown
Pacific Church of Irvine

5th message in a series about the Beatitudes
07-28-19, 2 Timothy 2;11-26, Diligent
The document provides commentary on 2 Timothy 2:11-26 from Jon Courson's Application Commentary. It discusses how God remains faithful even when we go astray, and how studying the Bible helps believers stand strong in their faith. The key points are:
1) God's blessings are continually flowing regardless of our actions; He cannot deny His own faithful nature.
2) Studying scripture helps believers withstand struggles and remain solid in their faith as they learn biblical truths.
3) Believers should rightly divide the word of truth and avoid disputes, instead pursuing righteousness, love, and teaching with gentleness.
Sermon notes 06 05-11
Jesus teaches that the path to salvation is narrow and only a few will find it. He tells a parable about those who knock on the door to the kingdom of God being told "I do not know where you come from" and being cast out, while others from all over will be saved. To be saved, one must believe that Jesus is Lord, that he died for our sins, and call on his name, which gives eternal life.

The lies are: 1) That one can control their own life, when in reality we must rely on God's sovereignty. 2) That leisure and comfort are worthwhile pursuits, when God desires us to focus on his purposes. 3) That hidden sins don't hurt anyone, when all sins are exposed to God. 4) That we are the most important people in our lives, when we must love God with our whole being. The document encourages relying on God's sovereignty, prioritizing his work over leisure, seeking his forgiveness and wholeness, and loving him completely.

08 August 31, 2014, Daniel 9-12, Praying For Maranatha - Come, Lord Jesus!First Baptist Church Jackson
This document provides a summary of Daniel 9-12 and discusses the doctrine of imminence related to the rapture of the church. It outlines timelines and events from Daniel's prophecies through church history. These include the rebuilding of Jerusalem, Christ's triumphal entry and crucifixion. It distinguishes between the rapture and second coming of Christ. The document closes with thoughts on living in expectation of Christ's imminent return and outlines the plan of salvation through faith in Jesus.100523 what god won't do
God will not violate human free will or provide non-believers with a second chance at salvation. However, God shows great patience by sending his son to die for sins and cleanse believers through baptism. While God does not want anyone to perish, he also will not save those who reject him by dying in their sins. God invites all people to come to him and find rest, but ultimately respects our freedom to accept or refuse this invitation.
Salt of-the-earth
The Gospel is a preservative found in a vessel that can be shaken. While the vessel containing the Gospel can be shaken, the Gospel itself preserves through trials. Believers are called to be shaken like a salt shaker so that the Gospel may season others and restrain evil. When believers receive God's Spirit, they become the salt of the earth, exerting saving influence through trials as they share the love of Christ with others.
20121118 the end series part 2 (ps. timothy loh)
The document discusses different perspectives on the end times - superstitious, scientific, and scriptural. It then focuses on what the Bible says about the second coming of Christ. Key points include that the timing is unknown, he will return personally and visibly, and it will be sudden. The reasons given are to judge the wicked and complete salvation. Signs before the return include increased sin, apostasy, the Antichrist, tribulation, and the battle of Armageddon. Believers are urged to stay spiritually alert, active in church, overcoming, serving God fervently, and relying on God's grace.
8th Sunday A
Dear sisters and brothers,
Do you trust your God? Accumulating... and accumulating and setting aside so many things for the far distant future and yet you have no joy is a sign of distrust.
Fr. Cielo
The second coming of Christ
The document discusses the second coming of Christ as described in Matthew 25:31-33. It will summarize key points in 3 sentences:
The passage describes how Christ will return in glory with all the angels, sit on his throne, and separate people into sheep and goats - with the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left. The sheep represent those who are faithful to God and do good works, while the goats represent those who are unfaithful and do not help others. The document examines biblical references to further explain the meaning of sheep and goats as it relates to being prepared for Christ's return and entering God's kingdom.

Is immortality possible
Is eternal existence possible? Here are four reasons why it is not only possible, not only probable, but guaranteed:
1. God's love desires it - He loves us and wants to be with us forever!
2. The power of God can give it - He who created us has the power to give us eternal life!
3. The justice of God demands it - Both the saved and the lost will have eternal existence. The choice of where we spend eternity is ours to make.
4. The faithfulness of god will make it happen - God has not failed to make good on one promise! If He promised eternal life (and He did) then He will make it happen!
The Rich Young Ruler
Jesus tells a rich man who asks how to gain eternal life that he must sell his possessions and give the money to the poor. When the man hears this, he goes away sad because he has many possessions. Jesus felt love for the man but knew that his wealth was an idol that competed with his trust in God.
Beware the wolves online 2 John
John writes a letter to a church and "the chosen lady and her children" whom he loves. He greets them with a blessing of grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Jesus Christ. He encourages them to walk in truth and love according to God's commandments. John warns of deceivers who do not acknowledge Jesus, and instructs the readers not to welcome or assist those who do not bring the true teaching.
Fr. Malek Lenten Lecture
The document discusses the journey from doubt to faith, highlighting several key points:
1. Many great saints experienced doubts but later became strong advocates for Christianity after finding answers.
2. Doubting is a normal part of the human search for truth and God, and fuels deeper exploration of faith through reason and prayer.
3. Both faith and reason are needed to understand God, and doubters can help believers strengthen their faith through thoughtful discussion.
4. Prayer, fasting and sacrificing can help overcome doubts as believers draw closer to God through spiritual discipline and opening themselves to divine illumination.
HOSTAGE 2 - WORRY - PTR. JOSEPH FERMIN - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE
This document discusses worry and provides advice on how to stop worrying. It begins by defining worry and examining who tends to worry, such as kids, young professionals, married couples and the elderly. It then quotes several sources about the negative effects of worry on health and life. The document presents statistics on common things people worry about and Bible verses encouraging not to worry. It suggests focusing on God, doing what he asks, giving worries to him in prayer, and trusting him no matter what happens. The overall message is that worry accomplishes nothing while trusting God builds peace and faith.

The Example of Sodom
This document summarizes lessons from the biblical story of Lot in Genesis 19 and 1 Corinthians 10-11. It discusses how Lot represents a backslider who was prestigious in Sodom but powerless to stop its wickedness. His wife looked back and became a pillar of salt. His sons-in-law and daughters schemed wickedly. The Sodomites flaunted their sins. Christians should follow the righteousness of the angels and peace of Abraham, remembering God's redemption of Lot and the lineage of Moab.

What To Do When Faith Doesnt Work
This document summarizes the key points made in James 2:14-26 about faith and works. It states that verbal faith alone cannot save, as faith without works is dead. It uses the examples of Abraham and Rahab to show how they were considered righteous not just due to their faith, but because of their actions that demonstrated that faith. While salvation is by faith alone, true faith does not remain alone but is shown through deeds.

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
