The document encourages pursuing righteousness over materialism and obeying God's commands in order to be saved and have right to eternal life.

"Preach the Word. Teach the Word. Reach the World" | 2 Timothy 4:1-5

Danny Scotton, Jr.

2 Timothy 4:1-5 sermon slides from Pastor Danny Scotton, Sr.'s 18th Pastoral Anniversary Sunday Service Live Stream. For the sermon text, video, audio, sources and more, please visit: http://bit.ly/C4C-2-Tim-4-1-5 For more sermons and studies, please visit: https://CatchForChrist.net For more from this service, please visit http://bit.ly/ABC-9-27-20 Some of the last words the Apostle Paul ever wrote charge the younger and more timid Timothy to preach the word -- always being ready -- and to fulfill his ministry before God the Father and Jesus the Coming Judge and King. Since false teachers had infiltrated the church in Ephesus, scratching the itch of those who wanted their ears tickled with something new, Paul commands Timothy to correct, rebuke, encourage with great forbearance and thorough instruction. Timothy must also endure hardship and do the work of an evangelist, spreading the Gospel to nonbelievers. He must preach the word, teach the word, and reach the world -- as should we.

Jude: Practical Exhortations_Jude 17-23.pptx

Stephen Palm

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.

Slide 1: Title: Exploring the Mindfulness: Understanding Its Benefits Slide 2: Introduction to Mindfulness Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years. In today's society, filled with distractions and constant stimuli, mindfulness offers a valuable tool for regaining inner peace and reconnecting with our true selves. By cultivating mindfulness, we can develop a heightened awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, leading to a greater sense of clarity and presence in our daily lives. Slide 3: Benefits of Mindfulness for Mental Well-being Practicing mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety levels, improving overall quality of life. Mindfulness increases awareness of our emotions and teaches us to manage them better, leading to improved mood.
