This document provides information about God's love and plan for humanity according to Christian teachings. It discusses that all people are sinful and separated from God, but God loves people and offers salvation through Jesus Christ. It presents the concept of three spiritual laws: 1) God loves us and offers a wonderful plan. 2) All people are sinful and separated from God. 3) Jesus Christ is God's only provision for salvation by dying for our sins. It encourages readers to accept Christ into their lives by turning from themselves to God in repentance and faith in order to know God's love and experience his plan.
M2014 s74 my time has not yet come 9 21-14 sermonJames Bradshaw
1. Jesus would not go to Jerusalem for the Feast of Booths because the Jews were seeking to kill him, though it was required for all Jewish males to attend.
2. Jesus tells his brothers he will not go to the feast yet because his time has not fully come, though they should go. He remains in Galilee.
3. When Jesus does go to the feast secretly, the people debate whether he could be the Christ, as he teaches with learning but has not studied, and the authorities do not stop him even as they seek to arrest him.
Jesus compares believers to salt in Matthew 5:13. As salt adds flavor and preserves, believers are called to flavor and preserve society through their faith. Salt loses its purpose and is discarded if it loses its savor or flavor. Similarly, believers must maintain their witness and purpose, or they will be ineffective. The passage discusses how Jesus, as the creator, knows the properties and purposes of all things, including salt. Believers are called to maintain their salt-like qualities of adding flavor and preserving through walking in the light and accepting their cross, which brings joy, even through tribulation.

The document contains verses from the Bible and brief explanations provided by Stephen Chisati on various spiritual topics such as the nature of man, God, Jesus, salvation, and distinguishing between true and false prophets. The overall message is that one should seek God and Jesus Christ for salvation and eternal life, avoid being corrupted by the world, and be wary of false prophets and soothsayers who are not truly speaking for God.
School of the Holy Spirit II Slides, 9/11/11CLADSM
Jesus comforts his disciples and promises to prepare a place for them in heaven. He states that he is the only way to the Father. Jesus promises to send the Holy Spirit to be with the disciples forever to help and teach them. The Holy Spirit dwells within believers and helps bring their memories back to what Jesus taught. He convicts people of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and guides Christians into all truth.
Sadness and sorrow are inexorably woven in the fabric of life. We cannot escape loss. So, how can grief be good? How can we look as "loss" as possible "gain"?
The document discusses how worldly desires can distract us from intimacy with God. It encourages fasting from things like television, social media, the internet, and overworking in order to seek intimacy with Jesus instead. Fasting is meant to help reveal what competes for our time and attention against God. The focus of biblical fasting is connecting with God through prayer and worship, not just denying food or to prove commitment. Fasting humbles us and helps us hunger for God and his purposes over earthly things. Ultimately, the goal of fasting provided in the document is to know and be filled with the deep love of Christ.

This document is a sermon about Jesus saying "I thirst" while on the cross. It discusses:
1) Jesus' humanity is shown through experiencing thirst after blood loss and dehydration on the cross.
2) Animal sacrifices in the Bible temporarily covered human sin, but Jesus' sacrifice as the "Lamb of God" was the ultimate provision to fully cover human sin once and for all.
3) Jesus willingly endured suffering and death on the cross with empathy for humanity, in contrast to animals who are sacrificed without consent or understanding of why.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst...Michael Smith
Jesus teaches that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be satisfied. Spiritually, we should have strong appetites to conform to God's revealed will, just as we have physical desires to eat and drink. Developing a hunger and thirst for righteousness is necessary for spiritual life and growth. Without it, we will be spiritually sick or dead. Jesus can fill our hunger and quench our thirst through coming to him and abiding in him as the bread and water of life.
Phil. 3:12-14 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
God is pleased when believers have faith in Him, obey His commands, lead others towards peace, love one another, offer sacrifices, and witness about their faith. The document outlines these six ways to please God based on passages from the Bible and encourages fathers to follow this example set by God.
This Epistle has been highly esteemed by several learned men of the church of Rome and others. The Quakers have printed a translation and plead for it, as the reader may see, by consulting Poole's Annotations on Col. vi. 16. Sixtus Senensis mentions two MSS., the one in the Sorbonne Library at Paris, which is a very ancient copy, and the other in the Library of Joannes a Viridario, at Padua, which he transcribed and published, and which is the authority for the following translation. There is a very old translation of this Epistle in the British Museum, among the Harleian MSS., Cod. 1212.
This document discusses Jesus' teachings that Christians are called to be "the salt of the earth" and "the light of the world". It provides five ways that Christians should function as salt in society: as a preservative against moral decay, to add flavor and meaning to the world, to be pure examples, to promote growth of good, and to cause spiritual thirst for Jesus. It also notes that Christians should shine their light through good deeds so others glorify God, and should not hide their light but openly live faithfully.

What does it take to begin a relationship with God? Devote yourself to unselfish religious deeds? Become a better person so that God will accept you?
You may be surprised that none of those things will work. But God has made it very clear in the Bible how we can know Him.
The following principles will explain how you can personally begin a relationship with God, right now, through Jesus Christ...
1) The document discusses how Christians are called to shine God's light in a dark world as salt and light. Believers can serve as law enforcement agents and be a shining example.
2) It provides guidance on how believers can shine, which includes being blameless, pure, and without fault in their conduct. They should also hold to the word of life and live with the day of Christ in mind.
3) Christians are meant to shine God's light so that sinners may be saved, God's will can be enforced, Jesus is magnified, and God the Father is glorified. When God's light shines through believers, nations and people will come to the light.
The document is a sermon about running the Christian race and avoiding becoming a dying church. It discusses signs of a dying church like losing one's first love for God and becoming complacent. It encourages persevering in faith until the end to receive rewards. The vision of Jesus in Revelation is described, showing Jesus can revive churches that are struggling. The sermon concludes by inviting people to pray to accept Jesus as their savior.
This document discusses the song "A Beautiful Life" and its message. It was written by William M. Golden while imprisoned for 8 years. The song was inspired by the Parable of the Good Samaritan. The document outlines three things Golden learned: to enjoy life through finding joy in God, to enrich life by helping others, and to entrust life fully to God despite present circumstances, as spiritual freedom is greater than physical. It encourages readers to appreciate that the Christian life is a beautiful one through trusting God.
This document is a powerpoint presentation about relationships and God's love and care for humanity. It discusses how we should love God and others, explores our place in the vast universe, and how even though we are small, God knows and cares for each person intimately. It highlights God's love in creating us, counting our hairs and tears, and ultimately sacrificing his son for us. The conclusion is that through seeing God's greatness, caring nature, and love on the cross, we can know he is a wonderful God.
The document provides information about upcoming events at First Baptist Church, including a fall outreach program, concert series, and multigenerational lunch. It discusses the importance of not drifting away from God, entering into His rest through faith and studying the Bible, and having a compassionate High Priest in Jesus who understands human weaknesses. Believers are encouraged to help each other and not allow their hearts to be hardened by sin and unbelief.

OCTOBER 1 - Sunday Service - A PRAYER THAT MOVES THE HEART OF YAHWEH GOD.Catherine Lirio
This document discusses three types of prayers that move the heart of Yahweh God: 1) Cries for repentance from sin, as God's heart is moved when he hears a sincere request to change one's mind and ways. 2) Cries for transformation, as God desires to change us into the image of Jesus Christ. 3) Cries from barren wombs, as God answered prayers of biblical figures like Abraham and Sarah who longed for children but could not conceive. The document encourages readers to cry out to God from any spiritual barrenness and lack of fruit in their lives, trusting he will answer through his Holy Spirit.
This document provides an overview of different perspectives on the body from a Christian theological viewpoint. It discusses the body as physical and how it is left behind at death. It explores the body as an instrument of both sin and salvation. The body can be cleansed by God and offer worship. The future of the Christian's body is that it will be resurrected, freed, and receive a new glorified body like Jesus'. The document uses numerous Bible verses to support these perspectives.
This document discusses the spiritual laws of God's love for humanity and his plan for our lives. It explains that while God loves and intends an abundant life for us, we are naturally sinful and separated from God so we cannot experience his love or plan without intervention. It states that the only way to bridge this separation is through Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose from the dead. The document urges readers to receive Christ by confessing their sins and trusting in him in order to know God's love and have eternal life. It offers suggestions for Christian growth including prayer, Bible reading, witnessing, and church fellowship.
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” (Romans 8:14)
Exactly how are we be led by the Holy Spirit?
Exactly how does the Holy Spirit communicate to all of us in this life?
If the Bible calls the Holy Spirit our Guide and Teacher in this life, then this means He will attempt to communicate to all of us from time to time.
Otherwise we will never be able to pick up from Him exactly what He is trying to teach us or tell us to do.
The very first thing we need to know if we want to learn how to be led by the Holy Spirit is that
We can develop a direct personal relationship with Him
Just like you already have with God and Jesus.
Here are two key verses from the apostle Paul telling us that we are allowed to have direct communication and direct fellowship with the Holy Spirit Himself:
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” (2 Corinthians 13:14)
“Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit …” (Phillippians 2:1)
The passage discusses Paul's prayer that the believers in Colossae would be filled with spiritual wisdom and understanding so that they would walk in a manner worthy of the Lord by pleasing Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing their knowledge of God.
The document discusses false doctrines and the true death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It makes three key points:
1) The author will not allow any false doctrines to spread, and argues that nothing should be added or subtracted from the true account of Jesus's death.
2) The conventional churches have falsely claimed Jesus died on a Friday and was in the earth for only two days and two nights, which does not match what is written in the Bible.
3) The truth of Jesus's three days and three nights in the earth must be documented to enlighten mankind, as the deliberate spread of falsehood must be exposed.
The document discusses how Jesus mingled with people to show them compassion and win their confidence so he could call them to follow him. It provides biblical examples of how Jesus sought out the lost and mingled with sinners. The document advocates emulating Jesus' method of compassionately mingling with others in order to lead them to salvation.
This document discusses the concept of eternal brotherhood and unity among all people. It asserts that all humans are children of Abraham and God, and therefore brothers. It encourages spreading this message of oneness to reject divisions between groups. It argues that Jesus' death united all people and that accepting brotherhood means accepting that all are part of God's kingdom on Earth. The document aims to unveil the truth that all of God's creations are his children and part of one family tracing back to Abraham.
Dr. vernon secrets of the vine pt 6- make a wish - sunday, may 5th - sermon...shepherdsconnection
Dr. R.A. Vernon gave a sermon on John 15:7 titled "Make A Wish" where he discussed three interpretations of verse 6 and focused on verse 7. He explained that effective prayer comes from abiding in Christ and having His words remain in believers so their prayers conform to God's will. Dr. Vernon closed by encouraging the congregation to abide in Christ's love so their joy may be made full.
The document discusses key aspects of Christianity including Christology, which is the study of Jesus Christ, and his purpose and role as savior. It also discusses pneumatology, which is the study of the Holy Spirit, and references Bible verses about Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit. The overall message encourages studying the Bible to understand God and having Jesus in your heart in order to answer questions about faith and have strength against temptation.

perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16 NIV).
GOD’S PLAN
[Christ speaking] I came that they might have life,
and might have it abundantly. [that it might be full
and meaningful] (John 10:10).
Why is it that most people are not experiencing the
abundant life?
Because…
Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED
from God. Thus, he cannot know and
experience God’s love and plan for his
life.
MAN IS SINFUL
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”
(Romans 3:23).
Man was created to have fellowship with God; but,
because of his stubborn self-will, he chose to go his own
independent way, and fellowship with God was broken.
This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active
rebellion or passive indifference, is an evidence of what
the Bible calls sin.

Jesus Christ is God’s ONLY provision
for man’s sin. Through Him you can
know and experience God’s love and
plan for your life.
HE DIED IN OUR PLACE
“God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”
(Romans 5:8).
HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD
“Christ died for our sins...He was buried...He was
raised on the third day, according to the
Scriptures...He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve.
After that He appeared to more than five
hundred….” (1 Corinthians 15:3-6).
HE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth,
and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through
Me’” (John 14:6).
This diagram illustrates that God
has bridged the gulf which
separates us from Him by sending
His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the
cross in our place to pay the
penalty for our sins.
It is not enough just to know these three laws…

MAN IS SEPARATED
“The wages of sin is death” [spiritual separation
from God] (Romans 6:23).
This diagram illustrates that God
is holy and man is sinful. A great
gulfseparatesthetwo.Thearrows
illustrate that man is continually
trying to reach God and the
abundant life through his own
efforts, such as a good life,
philosophy or religion – but he
inevitably fails.

We must individually RECEIVE Jesus
Christ as Saviour and Lord; then we can
know and experience God’s love and
plan for our lives.
WE MUST RECEIVE CHRIST
“As many as received Him, to them He gave the
right to become children of God, even to those who
believe in His name” (John 1:12)
WE RECEIVE CHRIST THROUGH FAITH
“By grace you have been saved through faith; and
that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a
result of works, that no one should boast”
(Ephesians 2:8,9).
WE RECEIVE CHRIST BY PERSONAL
INVITATION
[Christ speaking] “Behold, I stand at the door and
knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door,
I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20).
Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self
(repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives
to forgive our sins and to make us what He wants us to
be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the
Son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins is
not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional
expereince. We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act
of the will.
These two circles represent two kinds of lives:
SELF-DIRECTED LIFE
K – Self is on the throne
† – Christ is outside the life
• – Interests are directed by self, often
resulting in discord and frustration
CHRIST-DIRECTED LIFE
† - Christ is in the life and on the throne
K- Self is yielding to Christ
• - Interests are directed by Christ, resulting
in harmony with God's plan.

Which circle would you like to have
represent your life?

YOU CAN RECEIVE CHRIST RIGHT NOW BY
FAITH THROUGH PRAYER
(Prayer is talking to God)
God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your
words as He is with the attitude of your heart. The
following is a suggested prayer:
“Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying
on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my
life and receive You as my Saviour and Lord.
Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me
eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life.
Make me the kind of person You want me to be.”
Does this prayer express the desire of your heart?
If it does, I invite you to pray this prayer right now, and
Christ will come into your life, as He promised.
HOW TO KNOW THAT CHRIST IS IN YOUR
LIFE
Did you receive Christ into your life? According to His
promise in Revelation 3:20, where is Christ right now
in relation to you? Christ said that He would come into
your life. Would He mislead you?
On what authority do you know that God has answered
your prayer? (The trustworthiness of God Himself and
His Word.)
THE BIBLE PROMISES ETERNAL LIFE
“The witness is this, that God has given us eternal
life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son
has the life; he who does not have the Son of God
does not have life. These things I have written to
you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in
order that you may know that you have eternal life”
(1 John 5:11-13).
Thank God often that Christ is in your life and that He
will never leave you (Hebrews 13:5). You can know on
the basis of His promise that Christ lives in you and that
you have eternal life from the very moment you invite
Him in. He will not deceive you.
What about feelings?

The promise of God’s Word, the Bible – not our feelings
is our authority. The Christian lives by faith (trust) in
the trustworthiness of God Himself and His Word.
"Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is
the one who loves me. He who loves me will be
loved by my Father, and I too will love him and
show myself to him.” (John 14:21)
The tractor will run with or without a trailer. However,
it would be useless to attempt to pull the tractor by the
trailer. In the same way, as Christians we do not depend
on feelings or emotions, but we place our faith (trust)
inthe trustworthiness of God and the promises of His
Word.
NOW THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED CHRIST
The moment that you received Christ by faith, as an act
of the will, many things happened, including the
following:
1. Christ came into your life through the Holy Spirit into
your heart (Revelation 3:20; Colossians 1:27)
2. Your sins were forgiven (Colossians 1:14).
3. You became a child of God (John 1:12).
4. You began the great adventure for which God created
you (John 10:10, 2 Corinthians 5:17 and
1 Thessalonians 5:18).
Can you think of anything more wonderful that could
happen to you than receiving Christ? Would you like to
thank God in prayer right now for what He has done for
you? By thanking God, you demonstrate your faith.
Now what?
