Luke 3.1 20
John the Baptist preached an uncompromising message of repentance in the desert, calling the people "snakes" and warning of coming judgment. He fearlessly spoke out against Herod for marrying his brother's wife, despite the danger to himself. Everything about John pointed to Jesus as being superior to him - Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit, hold a greater position and authority as judge of the world. Though John spent the end of his life in prison with doubts, he was reassured and gave his life trusting in God.

Usually it is about 5am i finish it... I'm one of those who leaves things to the very last minute - hate the "stress" of it and yet love it at the same time... (kind of enjoy racing with time?)
but today it was different...
Thursday i thought i'd do the readings and yesterday - friday - i thought 'd start it. I actually FINISHED it this morning (Saturday)and having done that thought i'd do it in English so that i can upload it and share it with those i care about on the internet. ..and anyone else who happens to come across it :-)
I loved the readings - actually i always do - but today i liked them better - i always like them better too - but anyway...
I am thankful to God for all His Blessings, For the Holy Eucharist, for Mary Our Mother and for the Church.
At the end of the ppt, just after the readings i put a few quotes on the Holy Eucharist - all of them found on the internet.
May God bless and fill with joy all of those who seek to know Him and love Him better: God loves each one of us so much!!! :-)
Great Attitudes for Great Destiny
The document discusses motivating others to reach great destinies and influencing others positively. It describes how Caleb motivated the Israelites to take possession of the promised land, despite other spies spreading fear about its powerful inhabitants. Caleb said they could certainly defeat them with God's help. Similarly, Joshua and Caleb influenced the Israelites to have faith in God and not rebel, saying the land was excellent and God would help them overtake its people. They sought to counter the negative report and encourage the Israelites to believe in God and their destiny instead of being afraid.
The True Gift of Christmas
God promised to save us from our enemies so that we could serve God without fear and lead holy and godly lives. Jesus fulfilled this promise through his incarnation, crucifixion, inspiration, and resurrection. Though the world brings trouble, Jesus has won the battle over the world and gives us peace. The true gift of Christmas is that through Jesus, we can have a relationship with God and live according to his commandments of love.
Halvayel
The document describes the fictional land of Halvayel, which includes six regions: Mount Stiv, Jaun, Taum, Jorj, and Eksayel. It provides population statistics and demographics for each region. It also outlines the culture's core values and taboos, timeline, life stages, and pantheon of gods including Halvi, Jelien, Jes, Josaiya, and Jol.
The Serving Community
This document contains excerpts from multiple sources discussing serving others and communities. It emphasizes that in God's kingdom, we should focus on others' needs rather than our own by embracing the truths that we are loved unconditionally, valuable, and meant to serve just as Jesus served. When we serve others even at cost to ourselves, we embody the great love that Jesus had in laying down his life for his friends. The success of churches and communities is defined not by their size but by their service to others.
Sharon Koh - God Provides In His Time - 080706
The Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the desert, longing for the food they had in Egypt. God promised to provide food for the Israelites in the form of manna and quail. God instructed the people to gather enough manna for each day, except on the sixth day when they should gather extra. On the sixth day, the people found twice as much manna as usual. God told Moses he would test the people to see if they would follow his instructions. The people were unsure of what the manna was at first. Moses told them it was the bread God had given them. God also instructed the Israelites to rest on the Sabbath.
Jonathan Wu Fighting Kryptonite 090705
Jephthah was driven away from his family by his half-brothers and lived as an outcast. When the Ammonites attacked Israel, the elders of Gilead sought Jephthah's help. Jephthah agreed to fight the Ammonites if the elders would recognize him as their leader. With the Spirit of the Lord upon him, Jephthah defeated the Ammonites. Unfortunately, Jephthah had made a rash vow that the first thing to greet him upon his return would be sacrificed to the Lord. The first to greet him was his daughter with tambourines. Jephthah was distraught but kept his vow, sacrificing his daughter though she
YHWH God: Author, Source, Designer & Overseer of LIfe
The document discusses different views on the origin and development of life, including Young Earth Creationism, Intelligent Design, and a perspective of YHWH-led Evolution. It argues that while science has found evidence of evolution, God/YHWH still could have initiated and guided the process, as the ultimate designer, creator, and overseer of all life in the universe. Rejecting all scientific evidence in favor of only a literal biblical interpretation risks discrediting faith, so synthesizing both revelation in nature and scripture is preferable.
Jason Ashimoto - Brick and Mortar - 2008-05-04
The document summarizes the story of Moses' birth and early life according to the book of Exodus in the Bible. It describes how the Israelites multiplied greatly in Egypt but then a new Pharaoh enslaved them, forcing them to perform hard labor making bricks. This Pharaoh then issued a decree that all Hebrew boy babies be killed by throwing them into the Nile river. Moses was born and his mother hid him for three months, but then placed the baby in a basket in the reeds of the river to save him, where he was discovered and adopted by Pharaoh's daughter.
The Greatest Promise of the Christian Faith
The document discusses the importance of communion and remembering Jesus. It provides biblical passages about Jesus instituting communion during the Last Supper, saying to do this in remembrance of him. It also quotes a passage from Ernest Hemingway's novel For Whom the Bell Tolls about a man telling a woman that even though they are apart, they are still together through their memories of each other. The summary is that communion allows Christians to remember Jesus and feel his presence even when apart from him, as the most important promise and holy mystery of the faith.
The Mission
The document discusses Jesus feeding the 5,000 with five loaves of bread and two fish. It notes that the disciples only thought of one solution which was to send the crowd away, and they did not think to ask Jesus how it could be done. It then discusses themes of being salt and light in the world by letting one's good deeds shine before others. It emphasizes that while not all are called to be preachers or teachers, everyone is still called to serve others with their gifts and to show love, sympathy, compassion and humility towards one another.
Shsron Koh - Coveant Sacrifice - 080824
The document discusses the Old Covenant system of offerings and sacrifices, including burnt offerings, grain offerings, fellowship offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings. It notes that under the Old Covenant, sacrifices had to be continually repeated and could not fully take away sins. The document then contrasts this with the new covenant established by Jesus Christ, where he offered himself as an unblemished sacrifice through his blood, obtaining eternal redemption in one sacrifice that cleanses our conscience from sin.
Dave Fukuyama - A Life Well Lived - 080810
Joining God requires knowing the scope of God's plan, allowing God to be the source of power, and obeying God. God promised to do wonders never done before and drive out enemies to show his power. Joining God means recognizing God as the source of strength and obeying his commands out of love. Completing the work God started requires patience as one continues obeying.
Plenty of Room at the Table
This document presents a vision for a church that embraces diversity and brings people together. It discusses how God wants the church to be an "uncomfortably diverse" community where all have a place and a voice. The document references Ephesians to illustrate how Christ destroyed dividing walls and made Jews and Gentiles one new people. The vision is of a church where outsiders feel they belong and where there is plenty of room for all at God's table.
Ken Fong - Lenten Series - God Of Justice - 090315
The document discusses the concept of justice from both a childlike and mature Christian perspective. It notes that while children have an innate sense of fairness, humans often manipulate notions of justice for personal gain as they age. The text urges Christians to think clearly about pursuing justice in a way that empowers righteous action, is pleasing to God, and helps those suffering from injustice. It outlines that God is a God of compassion, wrath, and rescue who desires justice for the oppressed and defenders for the vulnerable. Christians are called to seek justice and rescue the oppressed as part of God's plan to shine light into dark places of injustice.
Ken Fong - Heroes Journey - 090222
The document discusses the concept of the "Heroes' Journey" which represents both an individual journey of personal transformation as well as a collective journey of renewal. It states that the Heroes' Journey involves experiencing how God will use both the world and other people to save us, as well as how God will use us to help save the world. The document warns that in pursuing God's vision, people may cross an "invisible line" and fall into denial about aspects of themselves that are incompatible with being a heroic apprentice of Christ. It encourages readers to confront any areas of denial and be honest with God.
Jonathan Wu - Paul: Arrested By God - 090426
Saul was a Pharisee who zealously persecuted early Christians. While traveling to Damascus to arrest Christians, Saul experienced a vision of Jesus that left him blind. After three days, a disciple named Ananias visited Saul and his sight was restored. Saul was filled with the Holy Spirit and became a follower of Jesus, changing his name to Paul. Paul went on to preach the gospel to the Gentiles, experiencing God's forgiveness and serving as a servant of Christ despite his previous persecution of Christians.

90th Anniversary Celebration: “Extravagantly Blessed”

The sermon argues that those who experience God's abundant forgiveness learn to see him as lavish with grace, while those who see him as stingy experience less of his grace. It encourages the church to reflect God's extravagant grace towards others.

The Bible discusses work as a necessary result of humanity's fall from grace and describes toil as meaningless without finding satisfaction and pleasure in work itself and doing it for God. The document questions what people chase and work for if all their labor will ultimately be for nothing.
Our Work as Toil
1. Adam and Eve hide from God after eating the forbidden fruit from the tree.
2. God questions Adam and Eve about eating the fruit. Adam blames Eve, and Eve blames the serpent.
3. God punishes all three - the serpent will crawl on its belly, Eve will have pain in childbirth, and Adam will have to toil to produce food from the ground. Their relationship with God and each other is broken.
Our Work as Stewardship
1) The document discusses humanity's creation in God's image and their role of ruling over creation, cultivating the earth.
2) It presents views from early Christian thinkers like Eusebius of Caesarea who saw two types of lives - a perfect spiritual life and a permitted physical life, which wrongly narrowed the scope of calling.
3) The key idea is that work is humanity's divine calling since creation to partner with God and further His purposes through cultivating and creating.
God's Work, Our Work
The document describes the creation story from Genesis 1-2 in the Bible. It recounts each of the six days of creation, with God creating light, the sky, land, plants, stars, sea creatures, animals, and finally humans on the sixth day. On the seventh day God rested. It then discusses the concept of work and Sabbath, portraying God as a laborer through metaphors like gardener, shepherd, and potter. Finally, it suggests Christians abide in Christ's presence even during stressful work through humility, patience, and finding identity and worth in God rather than work performance or status.
Life with God
This document discusses various ways that Christians relate to and experience God, including through obedience to God's laws, surrendering control to God, finding purpose in God, and experiencing God's love. It also discusses Jesus praying that Christians would be united with God and each other to spread God's message. The document lists spiritual disciplines like meditation, prayer, fasting and study that Christians can practice to open themselves to worshipping God. Quotes emphasize that a relationship with God is about pursuing God rather than actions, and that the deepest level of connection is wordless communion.
Life from God
This document contains multiple Bible passages and quotes on different topics. It discusses God leading the Israelites in the wilderness for 40 years and teaching them to not live on bread alone but every word from God. It also contains a quote about when taken too far, the pursuit of comfort and avoidance of pain can make us spiritual lepers. The document reflects on different ways people relate to God and contains prayers to Jesus for help.
Life Over/Under God
This document contains several Bible verses and passages about God and eternal life. It discusses how God loved the world and gave his son so that all who believe in him will not perish but have eternal life. Another passage emphasizes that eternal life is knowing God as the one true God and Jesus Christ whom he sent. The document encourages focusing life on God.
Branches that Bear
The document discusses remaining and abiding in Jesus in order to bear fruit. It explains that branches must remain connected to the vine in order to bear fruit and warns that branches that do not remain will wither and be burned. It encourages readers to remain in Jesus through abiding in his word and teachings.
Examen
This document provides guidance for conducting a daily spiritual reflection called an "examen". It involves reflecting on the experiences of the day to see God's presence and action. This enables gaining wisdom for the future. It recommends opening your eyes and asking God for clarity, practicing gratitude in both joyful and disappointing moments, and reviewing the past year to identify a season of joy and disappointment. Tiles can represent these to express gratitude and ask for help. Finally, it quotes Psalm 77 about remembering God's deeds and miracles, and meditating on his mighty works.
Lights of the City
An angel appeared to shepherds watching over their flocks at night and told them the good news that a Savior, the Messiah, had been born in Bethlehem. The angel was joined by a great company of angels praising God. The shepherds went to Bethlehem and found Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus lying in a manger, just as the angel had said. They spread the word of what they had seen and experienced to all who would listen.
The Light of Beauty
Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked King Herod where the Messiah had been born, as they had seen his star rise and wanted to worship him. Herod consulted Jewish priests and teachers who said the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. Herod secretly met with the Magi and instructed them to find the child and report back so he could also worship him. The Magi followed the star to Bethlehem and found Jesus with Mary. They worshiped him and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, then returned home another way after being warned not to report to Herod.
The Light of Justice
This document discusses the concept of justice through several biblical passages and stories. It references the ideas of fair treatment, equality, and protecting the vulnerable. Key events mentioned include the birth of Jesus, the flight into Egypt to escape King Herod, and the subsequent massacre of innocent children in Bethlehem. The document concludes with a benediction calling for blessings of discomfort over injustice, anger to confront oppression, tears for those suffering, and hope that we can make a positive difference in the world.
A Glimmer of Hope
The document contains passages from the Bible describing Jesus Christ. John 1:1-5 describes Jesus as the Word of God who was present at the creation of all things and is the light and life of all people. Isaiah 9:2-7 prophesies that a child will be born who will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace and whose government and reign will have no end. Isaiah 7:14 contains the prophecy that a virgin will conceive and bear a son whose name will be called Immanuel.

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

The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. Cares so much for his sheep that he’s willing to die to protect them. Will never abandon them in the face of danger.
