We have unique opportunities during the Christmas season to let the light of Jesus shine. It's the season to be kind, show comfort, and share the good news of Jesus.
God blesses us so that we can be His channels of blessing to the world. Service, kindness, generosity, and creative problem solving are few ways we bless people around us.

This document discusses the marks of a gospel-centered church based on passages from Acts 4. It describes how the early church in Acts was of one heart and soul and shared possessions in common (unity), the apostles powerfully testified to Jesus' resurrection (testimony), there was no one in need as they generously shared their wealth (giving), and Barnabas, whose name means encourager, sold land and gave the money to the apostles (encouragement). Reclaiming gospel-centeredness involves enjoying these graces of unity, testimony, giving, and encouragement that flow from focusing on the gospel.
Mar 16, 08 Am They Proclaimed The Word Acts 8.4Robert Bliss
The document discusses how followers of Christ who were scattered still proclaimed the word. It encourages those scattered to remain devoted to God's word, to proclaim the good news both privately and publicly, and to proclaim it to everyone regardless of comfort zones, as God promises to always be with believers. It outlines the "Acts 2:42 program" of teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer that helps believers mature in faith and want to share it with others. It provides the basic gospel message that believers are to share: that all are sinners deserving death but God provided Jesus as sacrifice for salvation through faith, repentance, confession, and baptism.
This document discusses finishing life well and faithfully through references from the Bible. It notes that Paul was coming to the end of his life and ministry, but that he had fought the good fight and finished the race of faith. It then provides examples from the Bible of people who started well in faith but did not finish well, such as Noah, Uzziah, Samson and Solomon. These individuals failed to finish well due to issues like lack of discipline, pride, uncontrolled passions or love of worldly things. The document encourages running the race of life and faith so that others may find the example left behind to be faithful.
The document discusses the importance of sacrificial service and putting others first. It provides several biblical quotes about Jesus coming to serve others rather than be served, and giving his life as a sacrifice for many. The key message is that we should forget ourselves and help others rise up, not be obsessed with our own advantage, and give our all to others through acts of service as Jesus ultimately did by sacrificing his life.

This document contains a prayer for the whole Church of God in Christ Jesus and for all people according to their needs. It prays for faithful pastors to shepherd congregations, for leaders to rule in a way that reflects Christ's rule, for the Holy Spirit to empower believers to boldly speak the Gospel, for missionaries as they spread the Gospel in hostile places, for those who are sick or distressed, and gives thanks that Jesus comes to believers in His true body and blood through communion. It commits all for whom they pray into God's hands through Christ our Lord.
The twelve days of christmas and epiphanyMathew Varni
The 12 days of Christmas is the period that in Christian theology marks the span between the birth of Christ and the coming of the Magi, the three wise men. It begins on December 25 (Christmas) and runs through January 6 (the Epiphany, sometimes also called Three Kings' Day).
The document contains several Bible passages that discuss God's desire for righteousness, persecution of believers, salvation through Jesus Christ alone, bold preaching of the gospel, choosing to follow God over other distractions, loving God and others, spreading the gospel to all nations, and living faithfully for God. The overarching message is that God desires for people to hear His word, confess their faith in Jesus, be baptized, and remain faithful in living for Him by obeying His commands and spreading the gospel.
Set Your Mind on Things Above - Not on Earthly ThingsMargaret Lepke
This document discusses the importance of having a heavenly mindset in everyday life. It encourages the reader to focus on things above, find joy in God, do their banking in heaven by investing in eternal rewards, and be passionate about loving God with their whole being. The document uses several Bible verses to illustrate these points and challenge the reader to set their mind on heavenly things rather than earthly concerns.
Natasja and I have learnt how powerful it is to partner together with God in stewarding our finances. In this message we share some of our experiences.
"Dispensationalism and Cessationism - We Win!" -Pastor Kevin Bairdwordandworship
-Forces that have caused the church to "think defeat"
-What the big deal about an apostolic mentality?
-Practical steps and application to change our mentality
The document discusses Pastor Andrew Williams' sermon on "Our Light Afflictions". It describes Job as a perfect, upright man who feared God and shunned evil. Job experienced four tragic events where he lost his livestock, servants, and children due to attacks from others and natural disasters. Afflictions are defined as states of pain, distress or grief. The sermon notes that afflictions are common to all people, exist for the good of men to develop patience, and bring glory to God by allowing His strength to be made perfect in our weaknesses.
The document discusses how an evil and adulterous generation sought signs from Jesus instead of seeking him. It notes that Jesus accused them of sin and told them to repent when the Holy Spirit comes. It then discusses how Nineveh and the Queen of Sheba, who traveled great distances to seek wisdom, will rise up in judgment against those who refuse to accept Jesus despite the signs and wisdom offered. The document concludes by noting how Christ crucified was a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks but is the power and wisdom of God for those who are called.
This document praises Jesus Christ at length, addressing Him with many titles and attributes. It recounts His life from conception to ascension, thanking Him for His suffering and death to redeem humanity. It proclaims His victory over sin and death through His resurrection. It glorifies Him as the eternal King and Lord who will come again in glory.
The document discusses time management and priorities in life. It recommends putting God first above all other priorities, then people through relationships, then using one's gifts and talents for God's glory through their calling, and finally finding joy through enjoying life and sharing joy with others. It cautions that being too busy is no excuse for not making time for and knowing God better. It encourages the reader to strip away anything holding them back from fully embracing their faith.
The document discusses biblical teachings around wealth, money, and stewardship. It begins by explaining that Jesus taught about money frequently in the Bible. It then discusses several key points: that our hearts will follow where our money is; that wealth ultimately belongs to God; that Christians are called to be stewards rather than owners of what God provides; that tithing 10% is a minimum but Christians should give generously; and that true happiness comes from generosity not possessions. The overall message is that the Bible calls Christians to wisely manage wealth entrusted to them by God by generously sharing it to honor Him.
This document summarizes lessons that can be learned from Paul's life about being a church leader. It discusses that Paul lived out the gospel, preached the gospel publicly and from house to house, defended the gospel from false teachers, and pursued completing the task of testifying to the gospel with his life. It encourages pursuing personal holiness if wanting leaders who live, preach, defend and passionately pursue the gospel.
This document discusses biblical principles of financial stewardship, including tithing, offerings, and sowing and reaping. It explains that tithing refers to giving 10% of one's income to God, and promises blessings for those who faithfully tithe, including prevention of plagues on crops. However, it warns that God cares more about justice, mercy and faith than outward displays of tithing alone. The document advocates practicing multiple levels of giving, including first tithes, second tithes, third tithes, first fruits, and offerings.
This document discusses how people can hinder the Holy One (God) in three ways: through a lack of understanding, unwillingness to act, and wrong attitudes. It provides several biblical examples of when people did not heed God's words or follow His commands due to these hindrances. The conclusion warns that unless these issues are addressed, there will be conflict and separation from God. The overall message is that understanding God, acting on His teachings, and having right attitudes are necessary to avoid hampering the work and will of the Holy One.
The document discusses generosity and giving based on passages from 2 Corinthians 8. It provides a model for generosity, noting that Christians in Macedonia gave sacrificially beyond their means out of their overflowing joy. Their generosity came from giving themselves to God first. Christians are called to excel in generosity as God gave generously through Christ's poverty. Generosity aims for equality, with plenty meeting needs so that all have enough.
The document discusses what it means to "make disciples" by following Jesus' commands to love God, love others, and seek God's kingdom. It summarizes Jesus' teachings from the Sermon on the Mount about not worrying and having faith that God will provide, and about judging others. Making disciples involves following Jesus' Great Commission to go, baptize, and teach others to obey all his commands.
This document outlines a vision for how a church can help spread the gospel through individual and collective efforts. It discusses using invitations, home Bible studies, and living faithfully to share the gospel individually. Collectively, the church can hold gospel meetings, visit nursing homes, conduct prison ministry, and door knock to reach more people. The body of Christ analogy from 1 Corinthians teaches that all members have different roles but are necessary, so everyone should find ways to contribute according to their abilities.
The document expresses disappointment that Christianity has failed to live up to its purpose of helping the poor and oppressed. It says Christians are more focused on judging others than helping them, and that few answer the call to make a difference in the world. The heart of the author is broken because the workers are few and brothers and sisters in Christianity do not use the cure they have been given to solve the world's problems.
This document summarizes a real estate development and property management company called CPM Companies. It provides an overview of their services which include property management, development, brokerage, receivership, and acquisitions.

This document contains a prayer for the whole Church of God in Christ Jesus and for all people according to their needs. It prays for faithful pastors to shepherd congregations, for leaders to rule in a way that reflects Christ's rule, for the Holy Spirit to empower believers to boldly speak the Gospel, for missionaries as they spread the Gospel in hostile places, for those who are sick or distressed, and gives thanks that Jesus comes to believers in His true body and blood through communion.

The Blueprint-ii-the-blueprint-cast-down-juicedAntonio Bernard
This document summarizes prophecies from the books of Daniel and Revelation regarding the little horn power and its 1260 day/year prophecy. It shows how the earthly sanctuary services were replaced by Rome after Christ's ministry ended, fulfilling Daniel's prophecy of the daily sacrifice being taken away. It lists 5 ways the papacy cast down God's truth: 1) Replacing Christ's sacrifice with penance and indulgences, 2) Replacing baptism with infant sprinkling, 3) Replacing the Bible with traditions, 4) Replacing Christ's mediation with confession to priests, and 5) Plunging Europe into the dark ages. The document uses the year-day principle to calculate the 1260 prophetic
The document discusses Jesus fulfilling the law through his presentation at the temple as an infant. It references passages from 1 Samuel, Hebrews, Luke, and Psalm 84. 1 Samuel tells of Hannah presenting Samuel to God at the temple after her prayer was answered. Hebrews discusses Jesus sharing in humanity to destroy Satan and free people from death. Luke recounts Mary and Joseph bringing Jesus to the temple according to the law, where Simeon prophesies about Jesus being a light and salvation. The Psalm expresses longing for God's house. Overall it shows Jesus as the fulfillment of the law and savior of all people.
The document is a booklet encouraging daily praise of God for 15 minutes through reading scripture passages. It provides many Bible verses praising God's attributes like His holiness, glory, power over death and victory.

The document discusses the persecution and suffering of Christians throughout the world and throughout history. It provides statistics on the number of Christians killed for their faith each day and countries where Christians face persecution. It discusses how Christians should respond to persecution by standing firm in their faith, resisting evil, and finding comfort and strength in God. It also notes that persecution is promised for those who follow Christ and live godly lives.
This document defines repentance and discusses why it is necessary according to scripture. It provides numerous Bible verses to support that repentance involves turning from sin and toward God, is commanded by God and Jesus Christ, involves conviction of sin and faith, and is necessary for salvation and the forgiveness of sins. Repentance should be accompanied by fruits worthy of repentance including humility, shame, and confession of sins. It is something that all people must do according to scripture.
1. God's story is about forming Christ in us and living through faith in Him.
2. We are called to shine God's light for others and be witnesses to Him around the world.
3. Suffering persecution for our faith purifies us and drives us closer to God, and though difficult, we find joy because of the eternal reward awaiting us in heaven.
The passages discuss the coming of Jesus Christ. They describe how He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. Believers are called to watch and pray in preparation. Advent is a time to reflect on Christ's humble coming to redeem sinners and His future coming in glory.
This document discusses the differences between the kingdom of heaven and the church. It provides biblical references to support the position that the kingdom of heaven refers to Christ's future earthly kingdom during the Millennium, while the church refers to believers in the current church age. Key points made include that the kingdom will be a physical, earthly kingdom where salvation is based on works, while the church is a spiritual body entered by faith. The document also examines multiple passages in Matthew that reference the kingdom of heaven to argue they are referring to Christ's future earthly reign.

The document discusses lessons that can be learned from Jesus' letter to the church in Smyrna in Revelation 2:8-11. It summarizes that the church in Smyrna faced persecution including economic poverty, imprisonment, slander and potential martyrdom. The key lessons are to remain faithful during times of persecution by keeping one's eyes fixed on Jesus, trusting that God is in control of all circumstances, and that present suffering will lead to future glory.
This document discusses the biblical concept of stewardship. It explains that as God's stewards, we are responsible for using the time, abilities, possessions, and other blessings God has given us for His purposes. This includes returning tithes and offerings to acknowledge God's ownership and support the proclamation of the gospel. The document references several biblical passages that discuss concepts like dominion over creation, tithing being instituted by God, and Jesus recognizing the duty of tithing. It also addresses proper use of tithes and time management as aspects of stewardship.
Jesus concludes his Sermon on the Mount by likening those who hear his words but do not act on them to a foolish man who builds his house on sand. In contrast, those who hear and obey are like a wise man who builds on rock. After finishing the sermon, Jesus impresses the crowds with his authoritative teaching. He then begins a second tour of Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing the sick. During this time, he raises the son of a widow from the dead in the village of Nain, demonstrating his power over death.
Bob Goff said, "We will never honor Christ if we forget how to honor one another!" We should certainly understand our need to honor and reverence God but the New Testament shows an honor and reverence between brothers and sisters in Christ. It was the Golden Rule on steroids! "Do unto others as you would have them do to you" was the foundation of all their relationships with one another. How do we get that back into the church today?
What is the real message of this little one chapter book? it is the story of forgiveness - Philemon had to forgive Philemon to receive him back. it is a story of reconciliation - restoring a relationship that had been lost. And it is a story of a changed relationship - from slave to brother; from master to brother!
Giving is important for several reasons according to the document: it makes us more like God by imitating His generous nature, it draws us closer to God spiritually, it strengthens our faith in God's provision, and it is an investment in eternal rewards. Giving also reveals our level of spiritual maturity in following Christ's example of sacrificial giving.
The "little" book of Philemon is "huge" in teaching! When Paul wrote to Philemon he had an important message to send but he needed a way to reach a man like Philemon. In this message we dissect Paul's way of reaching Philemon with the truth of forgiveness, reconciliation and changed relationships.
Have you heard the fairy tale of the "Little Red Hen?" In this tale, the hen seeks help to being food to the barnyard but none of her friends will help. She goes out alone and finds the wheat, plants it, tends to it, cuts it, has it milled and bakes the cake. After the cake is made, everyone wants a piece but she says no! Is this how God treats us?
Giving is how we show gratitude for all that God has given to us. Giving is probably the greatest shortfall in the average Christian's life, especially here in the United States. The principles of giving are simple to understand, difficult to carry out because of our lack of faith and our greed. We are to give as we have prospered, as we have purposed and cheerfully.
The document summarizes portions of the book of Nehemiah, beginning with Nehemiah hearing a report that the walls of Jerusalem were broken down and the city was in distress. Nehemiah wept and prayed to God about this. He received permission from the king to go rebuild Jerusalem. Nehemiah rallied the people to rebuild the walls, which they completed in just 52 days despite opposition. The document then lists some lessons from Nehemiah, including having a vision to accomplish good, enlisting help from all, and that the people had a mind to work.
The passage encourages unity, joy, gentleness, and prayer. It urges the reader to imitate Paul and focus on things true, honorable, and commendable. It promises God's peace for those who bring requests to Him without anxiety through prayer and thanksgiving.
Among all the kings of Judah and Israel, there were very few who "did what was right." Hezekiah was one of the good kings! Even though his father was evil, Hezekiah ushered in a period of spiritual renewal. Every renewal or awakening begins with one person and it is without regard to their ancestry. Every renewal begins with a return to God's word and has an effect on generations to come. Are you the one to begin our next "spiritual awakening?"
When the teacher called on you, were you ready? When we are called upon in the Kingdom of God, we should be ready. We should always be ready to meet God on His terms; We should always be ready to give an answer for the hope that lies within us; and we should always be ready for the Lord's return.
How do we define prosperity? It depends on whether we are defining according to God's word or the world's ideas. There is a worldly prosperity and there is a spiritual prosperity. What produces spiritual prosperity? Meditating on and obeying God's word; faith in God and His word; being content with Godliness and what He has given us. What is the value of spiritual prosperity? It abides and produces true success.
When we become Christ followers the old man is destroyed and the new man begins to emerge. In Ephesians 4:22-32 Paul describes this new nature: no lying, no sinful anger, no stealing, no corrupt words, no grieving the Holy Spirit, no bitterness and wrath but rather a kindness toward one another. Is the New Man showing in you?
The document discusses different "roads" or paths that Christians may take, including roads of persecution, poverty, suffering, and loss. It notes that Jesus said he is the only way to God and salvation. Several passages from the book of John are presented, including Jesus telling Peter to follow him. The document emphasizes that individuals should not compare their road to others' but trust that God puts them where they need to be, and the most important thing is to follow Jesus, regardless of one's circumstances.
Jesus' letters to the seven churches in Asia are a roadmap for struggles in the 21st Century church. To the church in Ephesus He had one thing against them: They had left their "first love." What does this mean? Why is love so important? What might have happened to their "first love?" and what is Jesus' exhortation to that church?
Mourning is an indescribable ache to the heart. Mourning is a great time to learn God's compassion because He hurts when we hurt; God's faithfulness because He will never leave us; God's comfort because He yearns to comfort us.
What is stopping you from giving yourself entirely to God? For some it is the pursuit of wealth. For others, it may be the pursuit of pleasure. Still others may be fearful of what others will think and say while others just want to be in control of their own lives. Whatever stands in your way of giving yourself completely to God, remove it!
This passage from 1 Corinthians discusses the proper foundation for faith and spiritual growth. Paul explains that some in the Corinthian church were still immature and divisive, arguing over whether they followed Paul or Apollos. However, Paul and Apollos are merely ministers who planted and watered the seeds of faith; ultimately, God causes the growth. The only sure foundation is Jesus Christ. All other foundations built on human works, righteousness, or traditions will fail. Believers should build on Christ alone through faith, not on their own goodness or spiritual accomplishments.
2nd in a 2-part series. Surrendering ourselves to God, giving up control and letting God do what God does. In part 2 we are encouraged to T.R.U.S.T. (totaling relying upon something true) God and to realize that God has set us free in Christ Jesus.
Paul to told Timothy to "Study to show yourself approved by God, a workman doesn't need to be ashamed handling the word of God correctly." Aren't we all supposed to be workers in the Kingdom, workers of God? What are the characteristics of God's workmen? They don't spend time arguing, they seek God's approval and they avoid error.
Life in 2018 is chaotic and stressful, especially for teenagers. How do we cope? Anxiety is real, anxiety and panic attacks are real and can be debilitating. How do we overcome? First we have to realize we are not in control! But God is! When we become anxious and fearful: stop. breathe. Jesus! Love is > fear!

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
