Advent: PEACE
Jesus came to bring peace for all people through his life and teachings. He reconciled humanity with God and provides peace to believers through faith, as mentioned in Romans and Colossians. Jesus also leaves his followers with peace to guard them during trials, different from any peace the world can offer. Finally, Jesus will return to rule with eternal peace for his people, as foretold in Isaiah and Revelation, rewarding those who make peace as God's sons.
Loneliness 1
The document discusses Jesus' experience with loneliness and rejection during his crucifixion. It notes that according to the Bible, Jesus endured physical torture and the anguish of being alone, as even God had to turn away from the sin Jesus was bearing. The document states that Jesus understands rejection, pain, and loneliness more than anyone, and that he can help those going through difficult times if they trust in him.
The King: The Rejected King

Garden at Gethsemane According to the Completed Testament
The document summarizes Rev. Sun Myung Moon's view on Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane prior to his crucifixion. According to Moon, Jesus was not praying out of fear or weakness, but out of concern for his mission and the suffering his death would cause for humanity and God. Moon believes Jesus' death would delay God's kingdom and result in millions suffering, and Jesus was pleading for an alternative way to fulfill his mission without this outcome. The document outlines Moon's perspective on why the traditional understanding of Jesus' prayer and mission may be incorrect.

Easter A Spiritist View
This document discusses the origins and meanings of Easter from different perspectives. It notes that Easter celebrations have roots in pagan spring equinox festivals, Jewish Passover traditions, and later Christian traditions focused on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. From a Spiritist view, Easter is not about rituals or dogmas, but can be a time for reflection on Jesus' teachings of morality when he reincarnated on Earth. Spiritism sees Easter as a spiritual transformation towards developing perfection by leaving behind vices and selfishness.

He arose!2
The document discusses the empty tomb after Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. It examines various explanations for the empty tomb, but concludes that the only plausible one is that Jesus arose from the dead. It then discusses what would be the implications if there was no resurrection of the dead, including that our faith would be in vain, our sins would not be forgiven, and we would have no hope of an afterlife or reuniting with loved ones. It emphasizes that the resurrection is the foundation of Christianity and proves Jesus' divinity, and gives believers assurance of eternal life.

Its all about jesus
In the Gospel of John, we are told that Andrew met Jesus, with that burning zeal went and found his brother Simon Peter and brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John, but you shall be called Cephas". What did Jesus saw in Peter? What does Jesus sees in you today? How does one keep the flame alive? In what ways do I share or give testimony of the love of Jesus to others? As leaders, we are to seek Him, receive Him, know Him, love Him, serve Him and be like Him, you know….. it’s all about Jesus.
Vintage 4.26.20 covid19_sunday7
This document contains a sermon on Luke 24 and Jesus as the resurrected one. It discusses how Jesus is at once present yet elusive, direct yet mysterious, and healed yet wounded.

Vintage galatians 4.24.16
Paul defends the unity of the church by publicly challenging Peter for not eating with Gentiles and publicly inviting both Jews and Gentiles to have faith in Jesus. The key points are:
1) Paul confronted Peter for separating himself from Gentiles out of fear of criticism, undermining the gospel message of unity.
2) Paul argued that righteousness comes through faith in Jesus, not works of the Jewish law, and that both Jews and Gentiles can be justified by believing in the Messiah.
3) Paul taught that table fellowship, including communion, is available to anyone solely based on their faith in Jesus.
Will you also go away
This document summarizes a Bible passage where many followers abandon Jesus after he shares difficult truths with them. It then discusses why some people reject truth - they misunderstand it, are opposed to it, or are blind to it. Additionally, some want religious experiences without commitment. In contrast, genuine faith cannot walk away from Jesus once a person has truly believed and experienced his goodness. The document encourages the reader to consider whether they will remain committed to Jesus or walk away.
Checks to unconditional covenants 4
he Scriptures clearly tell us that the time will come when when some Christians in the body of Christ will not endure sound doctrine. All of us ought to separate the precious from the vile, the truth from the error and sound doctrine from fables. We cannot delegate this responsibility to anybody else. To this end we have been freely given the written word of God that by the grace of God through faith in his name we might be lead into all truth through the Holy Spirit.
I hope this series of meditations will help the word of God renew your mind and that you will be ready for the appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Three key pictures are presented: the Kingdom of Heaven has come to earth through Jesus, it spreads through broadcasting his message, and currently it is a grassroots movement. Additional pictures include: how the human heart conditions itself for or against Jesus, where hard hearts come from, and what true Christian discipleship entails by receiving, embracing, and clinging to Jesus entirely, exclusively, and enduringly.
Your 2012 Investment Guide
This document provides a 2012 investment guide focused on spiritual truths. It lists six areas for spiritual investment: 1) spiritual truth through friendship with Jesus, reading the Bible, and teaching; 2) prayer through various church prayer opportunities; 3) faith and expecting what you confess and invest; 4) the anointing of God being with those who do good; 5) personal holiness to see God; and 6) service to other believers and God's ministers. The overall message is to make spiritual investments that year in preparation for Jesus' return.
The Works of Jesus Part 1
The document discusses reasons why signs and wonders are no longer as prevalent today as some Christians believe they were in the past. It suggests that signs and wonders have wandered away due to carnal thinking, bad religion that rejects the supernatural, reliance on modern medicine instead of divine healing, a relatively clean spiritual history in Western nations, fear, lack of faith, lack of perseverance, Christians who are influenced by the spirit but not led by the spirit, and timid or jealous leaders who are not sanctified or prepared. The document concludes that there is no legitimate reason why signs and wonders cannot still happen today.
Life in the Spirit 05
The document discusses the role of the Holy Spirit in salvation. It notes that the Spirit was with believers, will be in believers, and will come upon believers. It also outlines how the Spirit draws unbelievers, convicts them of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and how believers should pray for the unsaved. Specifically, it recommends praying that the unsaved would hear the gospel, be convicted of judgment, righteousness and sin, and have their spiritual blindness removed.

Lesson 9, may31, 2015
1. The disciples struggled with limitations like lack of faith, exclusivity, and desire for primacy. Even though they failed at times, Jesus never abandoned them but instead corrected their behavior and guided them on the right path.
2. Jesus taught lessons about avoiding exclusivity and desiring greatness or primacy over others. He used the example of welcoming a child to show they should see themselves as equal.
3. Other issues Jesus addressed included the disciples' lack of faith stemming from insufficient prayer and scripture study. He warned against anxiety over material things and stressed the importance of forgiveness.
Jesus was the one we are to fix our eyes on
This is a study of Jesus as the one we are to keep our eyes on. He is to be our focus as our example and guide in the Christian walk.
Gracious Jesus 30: Conditions of Discipleship
Jesus outlines the conditions of true discipleship. He challenges those who follow him out of curiosity like the crowds, who seek signs but not commitment. Jesus questions the scribe who offers to follow without understanding the hardship. He tells the disciple to let go of earthly attachments like burying his father. True disciples must be willing to give up comforts and affections to follow Christ unconditionally with loving devotion, even when others seem curious, comfortable or compromising in their faith.

Jesus healed many people who came to him suffering from various illnesses and disabilities. He healed the lame, blind, deformed, and mute by curing them when they were brought to him. The crowds were amazed to see these people who were previously unable to speak, walk, or see, now healed. They recognized this as a sign that Jesus had healing powers from God. The document then discusses several specific healing stories from the Bible and examines the factors involved in Jesus' healing ministry, such as faith, belief, humility, and deliverance from evil. It aims to help readers understand Jesus' role as a healer and apply the lessons to their own lives.
Decision making: Discerning your call
The document discusses guidance and discerning God's call through the story of Jesus walking on water. It provides commentary on key aspects of the story, noting that (1) faith asks God's will through prayer; (2) seeks God's will, not our own agenda; and (3) waits on God's answer rather than acting prematurely. It emphasizes that the goal of faith is coming to Christ, not miracles or personal fulfillment. The document also discusses how God has a plan for our lives and guides our decisions through circumstances and Scripture, helping us even when we cannot see beyond the next step. This is illustrated through a story about a man pushing against a large rock at God's command.
Who is Jesus?
1. The document discusses evidence for Jesus' existence as a historical figure and the claims he made about himself according to the New Testament.
2. It examines the logical possibilities that Jesus was either a madman, liar, or who he claimed to be - the Son of God.
3. The evidence presented includes Jesus' teaching, works, character, fulfillment of prophecies, and the event of his resurrection which transformed Christianity from a small sect into a major world religion.

This document discusses examining Jesus through his words, deeds, and legacy to determine who he was. It explores how different religions and groups view Jesus differently. The document highlights some of Jesus' most famous sayings and argues his most impactful saying is John 3:16, which states that God loved the world so much he gave his son so that all who believe in him will have eternal life. It emphasizes that God loves and gives unconditionally.
Walking with jesus slides 06 07 2017
The document describes a "Walking with Jesus from Hope to Faith to Freedom" retreat that incorporates insights from the 12 steps into a Christ-centered experience. The retreat uses scripture meditations where participants imagine themselves in biblical scenes to help address addictions and obstacles to their spiritual lives. It involves daily masses, group activities like enactments of the prodigal son and Jesus healing the paralytic, and aims to help participants acknowledge their brokenness and surrender to God through Christ.
Triunemar05
This newsletter from the Asian Indian Christian Church discusses the Lenten season and upcoming church services. The pastor's letter encourages readers to observe Lent by giving up negative habits and focusing on spiritual growth. It provides suggestions for how to improve oneself, such as giving up complaining and focusing on others' good qualities instead. The newsletter also announces the Saturday Bible study series on faith and upcoming Holy Week and Easter services.

This document discusses Jesus Christ's invitation to "Come be my follower." It describes how Jesus issued this invitation personally to a wealthy young ruler, urging him to sell his possessions and follow Christ. Though initially impressed with Jesus, the ruler refused when he realized it required giving up his wealth. The document explains that Jesus' invitation applies to all people and discusses several reasons why following Christ as the perfect leader chosen by God is beneficial. These include his unparalleled example, self-sacrificing care for his followers as the "fine shepherd," and promise of a happy life now and forever.
Walk as Jesus Walked Sermon
The document is a sermon that discusses walking as Jesus walked based on a Bible passage. The passage encourages Christians to live lives resembling Jesus' life through their lifestyle, words and relationships. The sermon notes that familiarity with Jesus has made him seem safe and less challenging, so readers need to rediscover Jesus by reading the Gospels with openness and humility. It then dives into the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery to exemplify sitting at Jesus' feet and learning from how he lived.
THE SON OF GOD SAY COME BE MY FOLLOWER
Jesus offered a wealthy young ruler the invitation to "come be my follower." When Jesus said the man lacked one thing - to sell his possessions and give to the poor - the man declined, as he valued his wealth too much. Jesus' invitation was not limited to that man, but applies to all who want to follow him. His invitation promises treasure in heaven and involves wholehearted devotion to Jesus and Jehovah above all else.
re:Think Hope - Our Hope is Real
1. The document discusses evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ, including medical evidence that Jesus was truly dead and couldn't have been resuscitated, the empty tomb, eyewitness accounts of people seeing Jesus after his death, and the radical life changes in the disciples.
2. It also examines arguments against the resurrection and provides responses, such as the disciples weren't expecting the resurrection so they weren't biased, and the women and disciples would have recognized Jesus and not someone else.
3. The conclusion asks what the reader will do with this evidence for Jesus' resurrection.
Firing jesus
This document discusses how Jesus' preaching style would be received in modern churches. It argues that Jesus predominantly used blunt and negative messages to provoke thought. His sermons often ended on challenging notes rather than feel-good messages. As a result, many churches today focused on entertainment over substance would likely reject Jesus' teachings and style. If Jesus literally preached in churches as he did in the Bible, many congregations would be uncomfortable and possibly even "fire" him without realizing it.

The way of jesus part 3
This document discusses Jesus' encounter with a rich young man as recorded in Mark 10:17-31. In the encounter, Jesus tells the man that to inherit eternal life he must sell his possessions and follow Him. When the man walks away sad, Jesus uses it as a teaching moment for the disciples that it is difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of God. The document emphasizes that true riches are found in following Jesus rather than material wealth, and that with God all things are possible.
The way of jesus part 2
The document discusses the three components of a true confession of faith according to Jesus: 1) Having a conclusion about Jesus' true identity, 2) Having a conviction about Jesus' saving work through his crucifixion, and 3) Making a commitment to suffering for Jesus' sake through both internal suffering by relinquishing control and external suffering through persecution. It provides examples of what would and would not constitute a true confession and notes that taking communion is itself a confession of faith in Christ.
The Works of Jesus, Part 3
This document discusses how Jesus brings new beginnings to people. It describes 5 conflicts Jesus had with worn-out religion: 1) healing a paralytic, 2) calling Matthew the tax collector, 3) a dispute over fasting, 4) arguments over worship, and 5) healing on the Sabbath. Each conflict shows how Jesus welcomed outsiders and brought joy, forgiveness and healing, in contrast to the rigid rules and judgment of the religious establishment. The document urges people to abandon worn-out religion and join Jesus' movement instead.
The Works of Jesus, Part 5
Jesus heals a boy with a mute spirit that causes seizures and harm. When the disciples are unable to heal the boy, Jesus rebukes the spirit and heals him. Jesus tells the father that all things are possible for those who believe. Later, the disciples ask Jesus privately why they could not heal the boy. Jesus tells them that some spirits can only be cast out through prayer and fasting.
The Works Of Jesus Part 2
This document discusses a passage from the Gospel of Mark that describes Jesus confronting and defeating Satan. It makes three key points:
1. Jesus is the Son of God, as attested by the Holy Spirit. He has authority and power over Satan.
2. Jesus invades Satan's kingdom, binds Satan, and plunders his works. He is stronger than Satan.
3. Jesus is the head of God's family - those who do God's will and carry on his work of casting out demons and healing the sick.
The Ten Virgins
The document discusses five teaching sermons in Matthew and focuses on analyzing the Parable of the Ten Virgins from Matthew 25:1-13. It provides three key truths from the parable: 1) No one knows when Jesus is coming again, but it will be sudden. 2) When Jesus returns, one's inner spiritual preparations and relationship with Him will matter more than outward appearances. 3) There will come a time when it is too late to get ready for His return. The document also analyzes the meaning of "oil" in the parable as representing one's spiritual life and relationship with Christ.
Who's Going To Heaven
This document discusses who will go to heaven based on Jesus' teachings in Matthew 25:31-46. It argues that those who will go to heaven are:
1) Those who have received Jesus as their Shepherd-King and follow Him.
2) Those whose daily lives reflect Jesus' heart through love and good deeds towards others.
3) Those who deeply love both the family of Jesus (other Christians) and the mission of His church.
Wise Men Still Seek Him
The document discusses three responses to the Christmas miracle based on the biblical story of the wise men. It describes those who are indifferent to the miracle, those who are threatened by it, and those who actively seek it out. The wise men are presented as a model for those seeking the miracle, experiencing joy, worshipping Jesus, offering their treasures to him, and allowing the experience to change their lives.
Things Too Wonderful
This document discusses spiritual truths about Jesus that are too wonderful for humans to fully comprehend. It explores the eternity of God, the Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the incarnation of Jesus as both God and man, God's foreknowledge and sovereign choices, and God's great love for humanity shown through sending Jesus. The document encourages reflecting on these mysteries to grow in understanding and appreciation of Jesus.
The Value of One
This document discusses Jesus' teachings in Matthew 18 about the value of individual people. It outlines three main truths from the chapter: 1) Each person is God's child and valued by Him, 2) Believers should show personal care, responsibility and forgiveness towards others, and 3) When believers unite in prayer and purpose, Christ promises His presence and authority. The document then explores five affirmations of an individual's worth from the passage, and five expressions of how believers should love others as God loves each person.
The Wheat and The Weeds
This document discusses the parable of the wheat and the weeds from Matthew 13:24-30. It describes the parable as depicting our enemy and what he wants to do, but also cannot do. It then describes our savior as the owner and author of all good things, who has power over angels and the ability to destroy evil. The savior values cultivating maturity in his followers more than punishing the unrighteous. The parable also represents the experience of facing opposition on earth but succeeding, with God allowing it for our maturity, and ultimately winning in the end.
Jesus Is Worth It
The document outlines seven truths about the Kingdom of Heaven (KOH). It states that the KOH has both inward, spiritual manifestations and outward supernatural manifestations on Earth. It grows from small beginnings despite facing opposition, and as it grows it transforms evil. The KOH is said to be more valuable than anything else in life, with Jesus being worth pursuing and giving everything up for. Finally, the KOH will culminate with a final judgment.
Life in the Spirit 10
The document discusses Jesus' healing ministry as described in Matthew 8:1-17. It provides several examples of Jesus healing people, including a leper and the centurion's servant. It then discusses how Jesus' healing reflects God's character and how healing is still available today through faith in God's promises and Jesus.
Life in the Spirit 09
This document discusses how to cultivate a relationship with the Holy Spirit through becoming a spiritual person. It reviews the different spiritual gifts mentioned in the Bible and provides questions for a class on spiritual gifts. It then discusses how to attract and not grieve the Holy Spirit through things like humility, walking in love, and resisting bitterness. The document encourages seeking fresh fillings of the Holy Spirit's power and discerning God's guidance through waiting on Him.
Life in the Spirit 11
This document provides guidance on approaching prayer for the sick and afflicted. It recommends ministering in the love of Jesus and with a team. A 5-step prayer model is outlined: 1) Interview the individual to understand what they want prayer for. 2) Make a diagnostic decision with the Holy Spirit's guidance. 3) Select an appropriate prayer approach. 4) Engage in prayer, putting people at ease while letting God work. 5) Provide post-prayer direction to help maintain healing. The document also gives suggestions for praying for prodigals, such as asking God to create dissatisfaction and remove spiritual blindness.
Life in the Spirit 10
The document discusses Jesus' healing miracles from Matthew 8:1-17 and his willingness and ability to heal people regardless of their condition. It provides biblical references showing that healing is reflected in God's character and released through his grace. It notes that healing can be received in different ways, including through faith, laying on of hands, anointing with oil, gifts of the Spirit, and freedom from the enemy through rejecting the enemy's decrees.
Power in the Seed
The document discusses Jesus' parables of the mustard seed and the leaven, found in Matthew 13:31-33. It notes that though both start small, the mustard seed grows into the largest of herbs and the leaven permeates an entire batch of dough. The key lessons are that God plants His kingdom as an insignificant seed but places His life and power within it, causing unstoppable growth, and that the kingdom will spread to all nations despite humble or opposing beginnings.
Life in the Spirit 08
The document discusses spiritual gifts and life in the Spirit. It provides lists of spiritual gifts from the New Testament and categorizes the gifts. The gifts include revelation gifts like word of wisdom and word of knowledge, power gifts like healings and miracles, and utterance gifts like prophecy, tongues, and interpretation of tongues. The document seeks to explain these gifts and how God wants believers to use them to grow closer to Him through a dynamic relationship.
Life in the Spirit 07
The document discusses speaking in tongues based on passages from the Bible. It makes several key points:
1) Speaking in tongues is a spiritual gift where the human spirit prays or sings mysteries in a language given by the Holy Spirit. It allows one to pray and praise God without understanding.
2) Tongues are primarily used for praise, worship, prayer, singing, blessing and thanksgiving to God.
3) Tongues are a gift of the Spirit that individuals can use for personal edification, prayer and communing with God, even when alone. This allows one's spirit to be built up.
Life in the Spirit 07
The document discusses speaking in tongues, which is described as a gift of the Holy Spirit. It provides several key points about tongues:
1) When speaking in tongues, a person's spirit is speaking mysteries to God through words given by the Spirit. It is a voluntary activity primarily used for praise, worship, prayer, and blessing.
2) Tongues is listed as a spiritual gift along with other gifts like prophecy, teaching, and healing. As a personal gift, it can be used for private prayer and edification.
3) Speaking in tongues allows people to pray even when they do not know how to pray. It involves praying in groanings guided by the Spirit rather than the mind.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
