This shows the biblical evidence that healing for body, emotions and spirit are part of the total package of salvation that Jesus, the Messiah, came to give us.
The document is about the importance of the resurrection according to 1 Corinthians 15. It summarizes that the resurrection is central to Christianity, proves that Jesus is the Messiah, and gives believers hope of eternal life and meaning for their efforts on Earth. Without the resurrection, faith and preaching would be in vain, and believers would still be in their sins with no reward after death.
This document provides guidance on how to be a spiritual father. It recommends: 1) Giving thanks to God daily through praise and worship; 2) Making daily intercession by praying for one's children and thinking they may have sinned; 3) Showing the way of salvation by following God's commands as written in Exodus; and 4) Exercising faith for one's children by believing in God's power even when facing doubts. The document stresses the importance of fathers in being spiritually present and leading their children to God.
Good Friday is the day Jesus was crucified. It is called "good" because Jesus willingly sacrificed himself to die for humanity's sins and redeem mankind. While the Bible does not explicitly state the day of the week Jesus was crucified, most scholars believe it was a Friday. On the cross, Jesus uttered seven statements, including forgiving his executioners, telling a criminal he would be in paradise, and declaring his mission complete before dying. The important thing for Christians is not the exact date but remembering that Jesus loved us and died to save us from sin.
The document examines the difference between true and false Christianity. It discusses how joy is a supernatural delight in God, unlike happiness which depends on circumstances. True Christians worship God spiritually and find confidence in Christ rather than outward religious acts. Paul warns the Philippians about false teachers who only appear religious outwardly but lack inward righteousness. He uses the example of circumcision, which for Jews was an outward mark but failed to represent the deeper spiritual cleansing and nature change it was meant to symbolize.
The document examines the difference between true and counterfeit Christianity. It discusses how joy is a supernatural delight in God rather than being dependent on circumstances. True Christians worship God spiritually rather than relying on outward religious acts. The passage in Philippians 3:1-3 contrasts those who are religious but not righteous with the true circumcision who find their identity in Christ rather than outward marks.
This document discusses Jesus' statement in John 15:1-11 about being the "true vine." It explains that Jesus used the metaphor of a grapevine, which would have been familiar to Jews, to teach four main points: (1) Jesus is the source of life and sustenance for believers, (2) believers are called to abide in Christ to bear fruit, (3) God the Father prunes believers to encourage greater fruitfulness, and (4) fruitfulness is evidence of abiding in Christ. The key is for believers to remain in close fellowship with Christ through obedience, prayer, and Bible reading in order to bear the spiritual fruits of winning souls, holiness, and good works.
This document contains passages from the Gospel of John that discuss Jesus' metaphor of himself as the true vine. It contains 7 "I AM" statements by Jesus where he identifies himself as the bread of life, light of the world, gate for the sheep, good shepherd, resurrection and life, way and truth and life, and true vine. The passages emphasize that those who remain in Jesus will bear much fruit but those who do not remain in him will wither and be burned.

This document discusses the biblical teaching on baptism. It makes five main points:
1) Baptism is a burial by immersion according to scripture.
2) Baptism is for believers, as seen in accounts where people believed and were baptized, not infants.
3) Baptism comes before forgiveness of sins, as Jesus said belief and baptism bring salvation.
4) Baptism marks the birth of a Christian through being born of water and spirit.
5) Baptism is where the blood of Christ is applied to wash away sins, as seen in passages like Acts 22:16.
This document discusses the rewards that await believers for their stewardship and works on Earth. It references several Bible passages about believers being judged for their words, actions, motives, and attitudes. Believers will receive rewards in heaven if their works endure or they will suffer loss, but still be saved. The rewards in heaven will include absolute joy without aging or death, individual purpose and satisfaction, and joyous relationships between people and animals. Suffering on Earth will be seen as our greatest teacher, with God using all circumstances for good.
God created the world and everything in it and saw that it was good. He rested on the seventh day. Jesus also took time to rest with his disciples when they grew tired from their work. Rest is not laziness but important for physical, mental, and spiritual health. Laughter also provides benefits like boosting immunity, easing anxiety, and strengthening relationships.
Paul chose Silas to accompany him on his missionary journey. Silas was sent as an official representative of the Jerusalem Council to confirm the letter from the Council. Paul strengthened churches in Syria and Cilicia on his way. He came to Lystra where he met Timothy, a disciple whose mother and grandmother were believers in Jesus. The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke highly of Timothy and his experience with the life of Jesus, so Paul wanted to take him along to help with the missionary work.

The document also examines the unforgivable sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and defines Jesus' family as those who do God's will. It concludes with the plan of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
This document discusses the miracles of Jesus and their purpose. It asserts that Jesus' miracles prove he was sent from God, as no one could perform such miracles unless God was with them. The primary purpose of Jesus' miracles was to prove his divinity as the Son of God, but they also demonstrated his love, pity and concern for suffering humanity. Several Bible verses are presented that describe Jesus' miracles and their effects on people, helping to strengthen faith in him as the promised prophet and Messiah.
This document provides a summary of Mark 2:1-12 from a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi. It discusses how Jesus heals a paralyzed man by first forgiving his sins, which the teachers of the law object to as blasphemy since only God can forgive sins. Jesus then heals the man to demonstrate that as the Son of Man he has the authority on Earth to forgive sins. The healing amazes the crowd and demonstrates that forgiveness of sins was mankind's greatest need, which Jesus came to provide.
The document discusses higher biblical criticism and the Jesus Seminar. It provides background on higher criticism and defines it as literary analysis dealing with authorship, date, and composition.

It provides details on the Seminar's methodology and backgrounds of its founders. Finally, it reviews the history of quests for the historical Jesus prior to the Seminar.
1. Jesus heals to display God's works, call people to faith in Him, and bring glory to God.
2. Jesus healed the blind man by making mud from spit and anointing his eyes, telling him to wash in Siloam. The man was healed.

This document provides a lesson on righteousness through faith alone in Jesus Christ. It discusses the three aspects of salvation: justification, which removes sins of the past; sanctification, the lifelong process of spiritual growth; and glorification, when believers will be fully restored to God's image. Righteousness is only obtained through faith in Jesus, not works. One must confess sins to receive forgiveness and be born again. Remaining faithful to God through obedience and bearing spiritual fruit is necessary to retain salvation.
The document provides information about upcoming events at First Baptist Church, including a fall outreach program, concert series, and multigenerational lunch.

Believers are encouraged to help each other and not allow their hearts to be hardened by sin and unbelief.
The slides for the fourth teaching in the "Growing Deep in the Gospel" series. In this study we answer the question "What is the Plan of Salvation?" by focusing on Jesus and answering three other questions: Why do we need Jesus?, What did Jesus do for us? and How do we receive salvation through Jesus?.
The document provides an overview of what the church is and examines three key facets of the church: its essence, marks, and function. Regarding the church's essence, it discusses how the church is essentially a group of people called by God through grace, as seen in both the Old and New Testaments. The church owes its existence to God's call alone. The document explores biblical passages that demonstrate how the people of God form one continuous community from the Old Testament to the present.
Salvation is deliverance from sin and its penalty of eternal death, which is freely given through God's grace when received by faith alone. Grace is God's unmerited favor and love shown to sinners. Truth is found in God's word, the Bible, which reveals that Jesus paid the price for all sins of the world through his death. Faith appropriates what God has already freely provided through grace alone - that forgiveness and salvation are gifts, not dependent on works.

The document also lists possible reasons for why Christians may experience sickness, such as ignorance, disobedience, neglect of health, and wrong attitudes. It provides steps to take if one is sick, including prayer, asking others to pray, and calling elders of the church.
The document is a summary of a sermon delivered at the Midway City Vietnamese Alliance Church English Worship Gathering on December 27, 2009. The sermon discusses practicing Jesus' life and why it can be difficult, focusing on the realities of sin and faith according to passages from 1 John. It also examines how Christians can grow spiritually through obedience to God's word and walking as Jesus did.
The document summarizes the WORDLESS BOOK, which uses four colored pages - black, red, white, and gold - and a green cover to present the gospel message without words. The black page represents sin and darkness. The red page symbolizes Jesus' blood shed to save humanity from sin. The white page signifies salvation and cleansing from sin. The gold page depicts heaven. The green cover represents the need for Christians to grow in their faith through prayer, studying the Bible, and fellowship.
The third study in our "Growing Deep in the Gospel" series. In this study we answer the question "What isn't the Gospel?" by looking at false gospels, the difference between religion and the gospel and three ways to live: be your own god, make yourself right with God and trust Jesus.
God tells Moses that he will send him to Pharaoh to demand that the Israelites be freed from Egypt. Moses objects that he is unworthy for such a task. God reassures Moses that he will be with him and provides a sign that will confirm his mission. When Moses asks for God's name to tell the Israelites, God responds with "I AM WHO I AM", emphasizing his eternal and unchanging nature. God instructs Moses to say that "I AM", the God of their ancestors, has sent him.

The document discusses the deity of Jesus Christ through several biblical passages. It explains that Matthew 28:18-20 reveals one God in three persons - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. John's gospel proves that Jesus claimed to be God by saying "I am" in several passages, and his miracles confirm this claim. Colossians 1:15-18 and Hebrews 1 show that Jesus created and sustains all things, and the angels worship him as God. Finally, John 3:16 says that Jesus' role was to die for humanity's sins. The document invites believers to submit to Jesus Christ for salvation.
This document discusses God's way of salvation according to the Bible. It outlines the five steps as: 1) Hearing the Word, 2) Believing the message, 3) Having an attitude of repentance, 4) Confessing surrender, and 5) Baptism in water. It provides biblical references to support each step. Examples of salvation are provided from Acts. False doctrines like infant baptism are addressed, noting that baptism requires faith while infants do not have faith.
The Spirit of Barnabas is a presentation of encouraging words and testimonies from various authors and leaders in the faith community. Editors Linda and Cee are celebrating 15 years of producing this magazine.
The document provides teachings on the steps to salvation according to Jesus. It explains that salvation comes through God's grace by recognizing our sinful nature, repenting of sins, having faith in Jesus through accepting his righteousness, and following him. While humans can recognize their sins and repent, it is God who gives the faith to believe and enables repentance. True faith is not just mental belief but a personal trust in Jesus as savior. The righteousness received through faith in Christ covers believers, allowing them to enter God's kingdom. Ongoing salvation requires abiding in Jesus' teachings and being his disciples by living according to the Bible and sharing him with others. Salvation is solely a gift from God and cannot be earned or deserved through
This document discusses Jesus's roles as prophet, priest and king and how he fulfilled the mission of the prophets by communicating God's message and renewing his covenant with believers. It compares aspects of Jesus's life to that of Moses and describes how Jesus proved his divinity through miracles and resurrection. The document also discusses challenges for young Catholics in proclaiming God's word and being a model of Jesus.

It provides details about heaven from various biblical passages, portraying it as a place of glory, beauty, and joy where believers will be with God and see his face. The document emphasizes that through faith in Jesus, believers have assurance of their heavenly citizenship and will be spared from death through resurrection to eternal life in heaven.
The word "God" is used about 4500 times in the Bible. In 99.9% of the time, God refers to the Father. Read these scriptures where the word 'Father' is substituted for 'God' and get a better appreciation for the loving, gentle, Father Every Christian has through faith in Jesus.
Jesus was sent by the Father to bring us back to Him. God wants a close, "Abba" daddy relationship with us like He had with Adam and Eve in the garden. They walked together int he cool of the day—as a close family of a Father and His children.
God wants all of His children to have that kind of relationship with Him. That's why He sent Jesus!
God communicates to the author about mothers and their importance. God expresses having both a father's and mother's love for humanity. Mothers reflect God's character through their ability to love sacrificially, suffer for their children, and deeply identify with their children. Honoring one's mother honors God, as mothers were assigned by God. Failing to honor one's mother risks losing blessings. Practical ways to honor mothers include communicating often with expressions of gratitude and anticipating their needs.
We were created to become children of God, joint-heirs of Jesus who will rule and reign with Him in heaven. Salvation through Jesus is all of that! Get to know Jesus! Glory God no with your lives and prepare yourselves to rule with Jesus forever in heaven!! Don't waste your life just living for earthly things. Prepare for eternity by loving, enjoying and obeying Jesus NOW!

This is a message of comfort. God has BIG plans for all Christians when they get to heaven. He will glorify us in ways we cannot imagine. Look at the biblical proof that God has always planned to do this for all His adopted children who come to Him through faith in Jesus!
Go here to see my comments about how this teaching differs from Mormon false teachings about God and heaven. https://www.alf.church/called-to-be-glorified/
So why do I feel that this message about being adopted by God is so foundational to the normal Christian life?
Because Jesus came to bring us back to the Father. Jesus came to show us the Father. If you’re a Christian and you don’t know the Father, you’re missing one of the main reasons that Jesus came to earth. His death on the cross was just the means to enable us to know the Father and be the adopted as his children.

The Bible and experience confirms that our personalities, values, identity and conscience are largely formed by the family that raised us. We get "spiritual DNA" from our parents and ancestors that can be good and bad. Sin patterns, dysfunctional relationship patterns and coping mechanisms run in families. This is an intro to a huge and important topic that probably should be a series. This is a topic that can open up thinking and family discussions that could help heal and protect your family. This is not a topic most churches talk about but one they need to address due to the increases of sin and dysfunction in American families today.
This is just a short message on the necessity of hearing God's voice for every Christian. God speaks to His children for the same reasons we parents speak to our children: to know who we are, Whose we are and how to live well.

The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docxFred Gosnell
John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.
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.

The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

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.
