Higher life in christ
The document discusses the difference between having eternal life through accepting Jesus Christ and not having eternal life.

It explains that those who are born again through receiving Christ have the "God kind of life" or "Zoe" within them, while those who are not born again only have an ordinary life called "sukay." This eternal life that Christians have through Christ is beyond this world and allows them to live abundantly and be free from sickness, disease, and death.

Job questioned why God paid such close attention to mankind and subjected him to constant examination and testing.
Resurrection of the dead !
The document discusses the concept of resurrection from death as discussed in the Bible. It references several passages where Jesus talks about being the resurrection and the life. It also references passages that discuss Jesus' own resurrection from death and how that offers the promise of resurrection to eternal life for believers.

Jesus told the officer to return home, where his servant was immediately healed, just as the officer had believed.
What is the_gospel
The essentials of what the gospel is, including a short way to present the gospel to others for yourself
The Gospel as the Meaning of Scripture
The document discusses viewing the Bible as a grand narrative centered around Jesus Christ. It argues that the Bible tells a unified story from Genesis to Revelation about God's plan to save humanity through his Son. Key points made include that the Old and New Testaments both point to Jesus as the fulfillment of prophecies, and that believers should meditate on Scripture as revealing the gospel story of Jesus.
Pesach
The document discusses the importance of feeling a personal connection to the Exodus from Egypt. It cites a quote that every person should feel as though they personally left Egypt in their own generation. The activity section then provides biblical quotes and Talmudic passages for students to analyze related to the Exodus story and experience of the Israelites leaving Egypt.
The conversion of a faker
The document is a sermon outline about a faker who was converted but later failed before being restored according to passages from Acts 8:5-24. The outline discusses how the faker was initially converted but later failed in his faith before being restored through the help of others.
If
This document outlines a chain of events, suggesting that if Joseph had not been sold into slavery in Egypt, he would not have risen to power and saved his family and others from famine, his family may have perished, and therefore Jesus may not have been born to die on the cross and save humanity from sin.
Falling through the cracks
The document discusses how even in the early church under outstanding leadership, some people fell through the cracks, which caused discord. It references Bible verses about not murmuring. While cracks existed, the early church leadership asked the congregation for help. The lessons are to avoid murmuring and get more involved in church work to help prevent people from falling through cracks.

While cracks existed, the early church leadership asked the congregation for help. The lessons are to avoid murmuring and get more involved in church work to help prevent people from falling through cracks.
We ought to obey god rather than men
The document contains two biblical passages. Romans 13 outlines how Christians should submit to governing authorities as they are established by God. Acts 5 describes how the apostles continued preaching and healing despite being imprisoned, and how Gamaliel counsels the Jewish leaders to leave the apostles alone rather than fight against God's work.
How to study your bible
The document provides guidance on how to study the Bible through examining the meaning and significance of passages. It discusses understanding the original author's intended meaning by surveying the historical background, context, grammar, and definitions of words. The goal is to preserve the integrity of the meaning while understanding contemporary significance. Three progressive objectives of exposition, interpretation and application are outlined to achieve understanding, relevance and life application from Bible study.
Do's and don'ts for dealing with the world
This document provides guidance on how Christians should interact with the world. It lists both "do's" and "don'ts," advising that one shouldn't expect fairness from or compromise with the world. However, one should stay close to God as their source of strength, remember that God is in control, and believe that God answers prayers.
Peter's selfless defense
Peter defended himself before the council regarding healing a man in the name of Jesus. In his defense, Peter told the council that they had crucified Jesus, but God had raised him from the dead, as demonstrated by Jesus healing the man standing before them. Unable to deny their role in Jesus' death or the man's healing, the council could not refute that God had raised Jesus, resulting in their silence.
What to do when satan attacks
This document provides advice on dealing with Satan's attacks. It suggests to not be surprised by attacks from Satan, to not give up when facing opposition from Satan, and to avoid falling for Satan's traps and deceptions. The document outlines three main points: don't be surprised by attacks, don't give up when facing opposition, and don't fall for Satan's traps.
The healing of a beggar
Peter and John were going to the temple when they came upon a beggar who had been lame from birth. The beggar asked them for money, and Peter said that he had no silver or gold but would give him what he had, which was healing in the name of Jesus Christ. Peter helped the man stand up, and immediately the man's feet and ankles were healed. He then entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
In his name
The sermon discusses Peter's speech at the temple where he heals a crippled beggar. Peter refuses recognition for the healing and instead reviews what happened. He then declares that through the resurrection of Jesus, the beggar was healed in His name. Peter extends reassurance to the people and requires repentance, promising restoration. He foretells of Jesus as the redeemer and says revelation was interrupted by the people's disbelief.
A church everyone should want to be a member of
This document describes the ideal characteristics of a church that everyone should want to be a member of based on Acts 2:42-47. The church worshiped together, showed reverence for God, shared possessions unselfishly, experienced joy, and actively evangelized to new people.
The beginning of gospel preaching in its fullness
The Central Union Church of Christ held a sermon on April 12 about the beginning of gospel preaching in its fullness based on Acts 2:14-36. The sermon discussed the prophecy of Joel, the person of Jesus Christ, prophecies of David, the profession of the apostles, the presence of the Holy Spirit, and proof from the scriptures.
How three thousand were saved
The sermon focused on how three thousand people were saved according to Acts 2:37-41. It discussed how they believed in Christ, obeyed Christ by being baptized, and were added to Christ's church.
Beginning at jerusalem
The document discusses the significance of the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 when the Holy Spirit fell upon the apostles. It summarizes that this day:
1) Marked the beginning of the kingdom/church as promised, with the coming of power from the Holy Spirit;
2) Saw the reversal of the curse of Babel as people from many nations heard the gospel in their own languages; and
3) Signaled an end to the Law of Moses and beginning of the Law of Christ, paralleling but reversing what happened at Mount Sinai.
Waiting in jerusalem
The Central Union Church of Christ document discusses how after Jesus' ascension, the disciples waited in Jerusalem with other believers. They strengthened relationships, prayed and praised God together, and stayed united. When Judas' position became vacant, they selected Matthias as a replacement according to the scriptures, to keep the number of disciples at twelve. The document encourages Christians to wait for Jesus together in worship and unity, and to learn from Judas' example.
The book of life
The document discusses the biblical concept of the Book of Life, which is described as the registry of those who are saved and whose names are written in heaven. The Book of Life contains a precise list of the righteous and is referenced in passages about the final judgment, where those not found written in the book will be condemned to the lake of fire. The document encourages readers to make sure their own names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life in order to gain entrance into heaven.
Jesus and his last day on earth
The document summarizes chapter 1 verses 1-11 of the book of Acts. It discusses Jesus reviewing his time on Earth with the apostles after his resurrection and promising them the coming of the Holy Spirit and establishment of his kingdom. Jesus promises the apostles that the kingdom will be universal, not confined to Israel. He then ascends to heaven, with the apostles receiving two confirmations that Jesus completed his work and teachings about the kingdom.
The greatest sequel ever written
The document discusses how the Book of Acts is the greatest sequel ever written. It was written by Luke, a physician, as a follow up to his gospel. Luke wrote both works addressed to Theophilus, a patron, in order to provide an accurate and orderly account of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and the early Christian church. The purpose was to give Theophilus certainty about the teachings he had received.
Who is number one
This document from the Central Union church of Christ discusses putting God first in one's life and priorities. It notes that knowing who or what is number one provides stability according to scripture. The document reviews what the world and the will of God say about determining priorities. It emphasizes seeking God's kingdom and will above all else, and loving God with all your heart as the greatest commandment according to Jesus. The overall message is about ensuring God is the number one priority and influence in one's life.
Tell the good news
The document discusses the importance of evangelism and sharing one's faith according to several Bible passages. It notes that over 100,000 people die every day without Christ and cites verses showing Jesus' command to spread the gospel message to all nations. The document expresses an sense of obligation and reward for fulfilling the Great Commission through saving others, as one must not come to Heaven alone but must help others find salvation as well.
