Slaves of God — Well Done, Good and Faithful ServantDave Stewart
Matthew 25:21: To be transformed to the image of Jesus, who came as a servant, we must understand what it means to be a good and faithful servant. The parable Jesus demonstrates that both attitude and action must be transformed from a worldly way of thinking about our relationship with our Master. We are also warned of the danger of claiming Jesus as Lord, but not doing what he says. Again, borrowed thoughts from Darrel Yontz.
Pilgrimage hajj is obligatory to performSaudiToursUK
Muslims from all around the world begin observing rituals and rites that are associated with the yearly Hajj. Hajj is one of the basic "five pillars" of the Islamic faith. Hajj rituals take place during six days (8th-13th) lunar month of Zil-Hajj of the Islamic calendar. Pilgrimage is once in a lifetime obligation for all those Muslims who got the physical and financial ability to undertake the sacred voyage. Hajj is worship that involves the entire human body, mind and soul. Hajj wipes out the sins of pilgrim and renews one’s relation with
ALLAH Almighty. Furthermore, it is a demonstration of the Islamic unity and equity, as all Pilgrims in order to perform sacred pilgrimage wear the same dress, worship ALLAH Almighty, perform all the rituals and rites of Hajj repeat the same Zikr or remembrance of ALLAH Almighty, and supplicate to ALLAH Almighty.

A View From The Cross through the Eyes of a FriendChris Gallagher
A Lesson Presented as one in the series in "Five Views of the Cross. This lesson is presented from the perspective of John, the disciple whome Jesus loved.
A View From The Cross Through the Eyes of a MotherChris Gallagher
This lesson is a first in a series called "Five Views from the Cross."
Mary, being the mother of Jesus, stood at the foot of the cross watching her Son die, what thoughts were going through her mind?
This is a part of the "Five Views of the Cross Series." I based this series on the different views of the cross; through the eyes of Mary, John, Pilate, the Crowd and finally, the Father. Each view holds a different perspective, and each holds an eternal truth. Take a moment and give the lesson a look.
Part of the "Back to the Basics" series on getting back to the reasons and evidence for our faith and actions. This lesson concentrates on the Lord's Supper.
As a part of the "Back to the Basics" Series of lessons, it is important to discuss the thoughts of shedding the labels of men and wear the label of Christian!
This lesson is part of the Back to the Basics series. The material presented is documented during the lesson. I have also included the afternoon class slides on Daniel and his three friends.
In this lesson, the backgrounds slides are from Heartlight.org.
This lesson on Prayer is part of the "Back to the Basics" series. Instead of looking at prayer in the normal way, I look at prayer from the idea of "Communication in Battle."
The discussion guide focuses on the Prayer of Jesus in John 17.
This is the second lesson in a series I have on "Back to the Basics." Every Christian needs to return to the basics from time to time to strengthen their foundation.
http://www.birminghamchurch.org.uk - After preaching about the cross, Peter calls his hearers to repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38). This study helps establish the link between Christ’s sacrifice and our forgiveness of sins by means of baptism.

What good is it, my brothers and
sisters, if you say you have faith but
do not have works? Can faith save
you? If a brother or sister is naked
and lacks daily food, and one of
you says to them, “Go in peace;
keep warm and eat your fill,” and
yet you do not supply their bodily
needs, what is the good of that?
So faith by itself, if it has no works,
is dead.
—James 2: 14-17

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

The Necessity Of Baptism
1.
2. There are Many Questions… Why should I get baptized? Do I have to get baptized? When do I get baptized? Where do I get baptized?
3. The History of Baptism Did John the Baptist baptize? Did the Pharisees question the process of baptism or John? Baptism has a deep history…going to the Mikvah!
4. What is a Mikvah? The next slides contain information regarding the description and characteristics of a Mikvah written by Rivkah Slonim. This information is found on the website, http://www.chabad.org
5. What is a Mikvah? “…a modern-day mikvah looks like a miniature swimming pool…” “The mikvah must contain a minimum of two hundred gallons of rainwater that was gathered and siphoned into the mikvah pool in accordance with a highly specific set of regulations.” Source: http://www.chabad.org/theJewishWoman/article_cdo/aid/1541/jewish/The-Mikvah.htm
6. What is a Mikvah? “The casual observer will often see only one pool -- the one used for immersion.” “The mikvah waters are commonly chest high and kept at a comfortable temperature. Access to the pool is achieved via stairs.” Source: http://www.chabad.org/theJewishWoman/article_cdo/aid/1541/jewish/The-Mikvah.htm
7. What is a Mikvah? “(Mikvahs accessible to the handicapped or infirm are equipped with lifts.)” “Immersion in the mikvah has offered a gateway to purity ever since the creation of man.” “Mikvah is an integral part of conversion to Judaism” Source: http://www.chabad.org/theJewishWoman/article_cdo/aid/1541/jewish/The-Mikvah.htm
8. Mikvahs? Sound Familiar? Perhaps baptism? Cleansing of sin (Acts 22.16) Forgiveness of sin (Acts 2:38) Immersion (Acts 8.38) Reception of a new life (Romans 6.4) Clothed in Christ (Galatians 3.27)
9. What about Baptism? “Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ…” 1 Peter 3.21; ESV
10. What about Baptism? “Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.” Romans 6.3,4; ESV
11. “So, why are you waiting?” “And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.” Acts 22.16; ESV
