Vintage first corinthians_7.13.14
The document summarizes passages from 1 Corinthians 10:1-11:1 in which Paul discusses how the Israelites faced consequences for testing God in the wilderness, and warns Christians not to repeat their mistakes. He advises Christians to flee idolatry and not to participate with demons by eating food sacrificed to idols. Paul asserts that while he has the right to do anything, not everything is beneficial or constructive. He concludes by saying Christians should do all things for God's glory, avoid causing others to stumble, and seek the good of others rather than their own good.
Three Men
This hadith discusses three types of men that the Prophet Muhammad took an oath about: [1] Men whose wealth is not reduced by charity, as spending in the way of Allah replenishes wealth. [2] Men who are honored by Allah for showing patience in the face of oppression rather than retaliation. [3] Men who open themselves to begging and poverty by stretching out their hands to others rather than depending on Allah.
Violence in the_media
The document discusses how the media can help reduce violence in society by raising awareness of issues. It provides examples of how media coverage of landmines in Angola and the war in Bosnia put pressure on governments and donors to take action.

It rejects the idea that media coverage would cause people to commit violence themselves, saying most people can control violent impulses.

Grace
The document discusses the concept of grace. It notes that grace flows to those who are undeserving. The author recalls a time when they questioned their faith and felt unworthy of God's grace. They wondered if grace could exist in the face of atrocities. The document asks if grace should be shown to those who committed terrible acts, like war criminals. It questions whether grace is enough to forgive those who hurt us or heal relationships, though God's grace was given freely to all. True grace is shocking and unfair in that it forgives all people, regardless of their sins. As Christians, we are called to be living examples of God's grace for all people through both words and actions each day. God's grace is
A Trust Beyond Faith
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: When we have faith in G-d, it generally means that we believe that He created us and that He is the Master of the Universe. However, faith does not necessarily imply trust. Trust in G-d means that we believe that He not only created us, but that He sustains us and that there is Divine Providence in this world. When we trust in G-d, we believe that G-d is close to us and has a personal relationship with each and every one of us, and actually to everything in the world.

04 God’s Wisdom and Man’s Foolishness 1 Corinthians 1:18-31
Two men were working digging a hole. One man brags that he is smarter than the foreman. The other man asks what "intelligent" means. The first man tricks the second into punching a tree, hurting his hand, to demonstrate intelligence is avoiding pain. Later, the second man tries to show the foreman his intelligence but realizes there is no tree to punch. He holds out his own hand instead, learning from his mistake.
Its too risky
The document discusses the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed over 250,000 people. It notes that death can come unexpectedly at any time. The main point is that it is risky to live life without accepting Jesus Christ, as when we die we will face judgment and be sent to either heaven or hell based on whether we accepted Christ. It encourages the reader to accept Jesus as their savior in order to be saved and go to heaven after death.
11 Live Good Lives 1 Peter 2:11-12
1) Live good lives because we are foreigners and exiles in this world, as our true home and citizenship is in heaven. We should live as those whose allegiance lies elsewhere.
2) Live good lives because sin wages war against our souls. All sin, from small to large, harms our spiritual well-being. We must fight against sin through repentance and obedience.
3) Live good lives in order to glorify God in all that we do. Our purpose is not to glorify ourselves but to honor God with our lives, words, and deeds. We should point to God, not ourselves, with all that we accomplish.
Repentance
1) Repentance means turning away from sin and turning towards God by surrendering one's life to Jesus. Sin separates man from God but Jesus bridged that gap through his death on the cross.
2) To truly repent, one must acknowledge their sins rather than justify them. Sins destroy us just as physical wounds can kill if not treated. We must acknowledge our sins and turn to Jesus, our doctor, for forgiveness and cleansing.
3) True repentance changes our entire lifestyle and personality as we live to please God rather than man. It is a personal choice to let God change us from the inside out through turning back to him and returning to the right path.

Belief about deity revision ppt
Christians believe in one God who exists in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They believe God is eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. Christians believe in God for reasons such as ontological, cosmological, teleological, and moral arguments as well as religious experiences, miracles, and their upbringing. They believe Jesus was the Son of God and performed miracles such as calming storms, healing people, and resurrecting Lazarus to show he had power over nature, could heal people, and overcome death himself through his own resurrection.
For Joe Ewert
This document contains testimonials from two individuals about their journeys from darkness to finding light in Christ. The first testimony describes a life full of selfishness, sex, drugs and putting things before family, until hitting rock bottom from a divorce and struggling business. This led to finding God's word and promises, which drew the individual to Christ. Christ gave peace, purpose and overcoming what they once were. Now the Holy Spirit guides them to help others.
The second testimony describes a life centered around selfish desires and staying drunk/high to cope. Through treatment and accepting Christ, the individual realized they were believing lies that kept them in bondage. Reading the Bible transformed their thoughts and God began changing them.

It provides examples of reinterpreting doctrines like creation, original sin, election, and the Trinity in a way that could promote solidarity across religious differences. The goal is to develop a strong Christian identity based on benevolence rather than enmity toward other faith traditions.

It outlines foundations of faith including prayer, Bible reading, and participating in communion. It explores advancing in faith through charity, zeal, happiness, and avoiding formalism. It addresses our lot in life regarding the world, riches/poverty, sickness, and family. Finally, it considers our future home, being heirs of God, the great gatherings and separation, and eternity with God through Christ.

Luke 18.15 30
Jesus taught that entering God's kingdom requires desiring it above all else and being willing to endure great difficulties, such as giving up all of one's possessions and loved ones. Those who make these sacrifices will receive eternal life as the ultimate reward.
The servant leader
Chris Richards spoke to us from Mark 10:32-52, "The Servant Leader" as we continue our "Meeting Jesus" series.
Death and Glory
Pete Curran spoke to us from John 11:17-46, "Death and Glory", continuing our series in John's Gospel
Healing on the wrong day
This document summarizes a passage from the book of John describing Jesus healing a man on the Sabbath. It describes how Jesus heals a man who had been ill for 38 years at the pool of Bethesda. Religious leaders criticize Jesus for violating the Sabbath by commanding the man to carry his mat. The document contrasts the "letter of the law" approach of the religious leaders with Jesus' embodiment of the "spirit of the law" in showing compassion.
A meaningful miracle
At a wedding in Cana, Galilee, Jesus performs his first miracle when called upon by his mother Mary. The wedding hosts had run out of wine for their guests. Jesus instructs the servants to fill large stone jars with water, and then turns the water into wine. The master of ceremonies is surprised by the high quality of the wine, not realizing it was Jesus who provided it. This miracle revealed Jesus' divine glory and his disciples put their faith in him.
John 1v16 living generousley
The document references John 1:16 which discusses how Jesus Christ, who preceded Moses, provided grace upon grace through his fullness. It notes how Jesus provides endless giving grace according to this verse. It also briefly mentions how the early church practiced generosity, how Methodists sing about generosity, and how emperors railed against generosity.
Christmas 2019 family presentation
This document lists several items that will be part of a family carol service for 2019, including astronomical bodies like the universe, moon, sun and Proxima Centauri as well as religious symbols like the cross and empty tomb and a children's character Postman Pat.
Joseph
John White continues our Advent and Christmas series talking about "Joseph & the Saviour of his people", Matthew 1:18-25.
Topsy Turvey Kingdom
The document discusses lessons that can be learned from Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and the Magi in the Christmas story. It says that Mary teaches that God values the young and women, and can handle questions. Joseph teaches that God values ordinary people and knows faith is difficult. The shepherds teach not to let theology blind us to God's surprises and it takes faith to recognize the king. The Magi teach that the Kingdom is for everyone everywhere and God is greater than expected. The Kingdom of Heaven is described as surprising, nonsensical, and where normal expectations are turned upside down.
Matt. 24'44 be prepared!
Jesus teaches that his return will be like an unexpected event that everyone should be prepared for at all times through faithful service, witnessing to others, and living holy lives. Though the timing is unknown, Christians must persevere and be ready for Christ's glorious and visible return while continuing their witness and service to others.
Acts 28 11 31 - the lord's prisoner
Nigel White joined us to finish our series "Paul: The Road to Rome" as he arrives at his destination. He spoke from Acts 28:11-31, "Good News in the heart of the Empire"
Acts 27 God is in control
The document discusses maintaining faith in God's control during difficult times by using wisdom, taking practical steps to care for oneself, focusing on positives, and not being surprised by worsening situations, as one can find peace through keeping faith that Christ is present even in storms.
Father & Son Offering
Jack Sykes spoke on Genesis 22:1-19, "Father and Son Offering", continuing our series "Abraham - A Sacred Journey".
Ps 139 livavibility sunday 1 9-19
We took a break from our series on Abraham to celebrate Ability Sunday (a week early!) - it's all about inclusion, especially for those in our community with disabilities. Doug Preston spoke from Psalm 139
Abram sacred journey
Doug Preston started off a new series on the life of Abraham, "A Sacred Journey" with Genesis 12:1-9, "The Call".
The covenant
God made a covenant with Abram, promising that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand. Although Abram had no children at the time, he believed God's promise. God credited Abram's faith as righteousness, expressing his grace rather than Abram's worthiness. The covenant established Abram's right standing with God through faith, foreshadowing the new covenant established by Jesus's blood which invites people to enter into relationship with God by trusting in his promises.
Genesis 16
Carrying on with "Abraham - A Sacred Journey", Chris Richards spoke to us from Genesis 16, " Helping God with his promises".
The Riot
Roberto Troiolo from the Gideons joined us to share about their work and from Acts 19:23-41, "How to cause a riot", continuing our series on "Paul: a man with a mission".
In the name of jesus
As we continue to look at the life of Paul, "A man with a mission", Tony Finch spoke to us from Acts 19:1-22, "In the Name of Jesus".
Acts 16 v 30
David White continues our series about the life of Paul "A man with a mission" in Acts 16:22-34, "What must I do to be saved?"

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.
sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.

The message of the cross
- 3. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
- 5. ‘I Sometimes think about the cross, And shut my eyes and try to see The cruel nails and crown of thorns, and Jesus crucified for me.’
- 6. What is the Message of the Cross? Christ died for our sins He was buried He rose again
- 7. Responses to the Message The Jews The Gentiles The believers
- 8. Response of the Jews A stumbling block What had happened What still happens
- 9. Mahatma Gandhi ‘I could accept Jesus as a martyr, an embodiment of sacrifice, and a divine teacher, but not as the most perfect man ever born. His death on the cross was a great example to the world, but that there was anything like a mysterious or miraculous virtue in it, my heart could not accept.’
- 10. Response of the Gentiles Foolishness They still do
- 11. Response of the Believer The power of God It still is!
- 12. What makes the difference? Blindness Grace
- 13. Why the Cross? To show God’s power and Wisdom To leave no ground for boasting What about you?
