Where_is_Jesus_in_Prophecy_Part_1_The_Prophet_to_Come
The document discusses guidelines for God's people in the land He is giving them. They are not to learn or adopt the practices of the nations around them, such as sacrificing children, divination, sorcery, etc. God will raise up a prophet for them from among their own people that they must listen to. They must listen to God rather than fortune tellers and diviners. A true prophet's words will come true; a false prophet can be identified if their words do not come to pass.
01 16-11 am what am i to be
The passage from Deuteronomy 11:13-28 outlines the conditions for blessing that God laid out for the Israelites. It states that if they obey God's commands to love him, worship only him, and not turn to other gods, then God will bless them with rain, bountiful crops, grazing land, victory over enemies, and long life in the promised land. However, if they disobey God's commands and worship other gods, God will curse them with drought, famine, and rapid destruction from the land. So the Israelites had a choice between blessing or curse depending on whether they followed God faithfully.
10 mysteries of Paul

The mysteries involve theological concepts and events that were hidden but have now been revealed through God and Scripture.
Prosperity
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.
Why giving is important
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.

Why

It provides biblical justification for why Christians sing a cappella, believe baptism is necessary for salvation, have elders rather than a single pastor, and give voluntary offerings on Sundays. The document encourages examining the reasons for one's own religious practices and ensuring they are biblically authorized.
Part 2 : The Father’s Love : Immeasurable Love
God wants us to be deeply rooted and securely grounded in His immeasurable love for us. Out of His immeasurable love God extends rich mercy and abundant grace! Comprehending and personally experiencing His immeasurable love makes us whole and restores our capacity to be loved and to love.

It is very, very real
This document discusses the concept of Hell and argues that it is a real place of eternal suffering that people will truly go to after death if they do not accept salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Several Bible passages are referenced to support the claims that Hell is real, involves gnashing of teeth and eternal fire, and that people can escape this fate by being justified through faith in Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross.
What kind of sinner are you
The document discusses different types of sinners, including ignorant sinners who sin out of lack of knowledge, willful sinners who sin deliberately, sinners who make excuses for their sins, religious sinners who focus on outward appearances rather than the heart, and neglectful sinners who fail to heed God's word.

Falling through the cracks

The lessons are to avoid murmuring and get more involved in church work to help prevent people from falling through cracks.
A quitter who finally came back

It notes that Mark started well but quit halfway through the mission to Acts 13:13.

Follow thou me
The document discusses Jesus' calls to follow him and commit fully through several Bible verses. It then outlines that these calls require the greatest love, a total commitment, and a personal commitment. It poses the question "Do you love me?" twice, implying the reader should examine their own commitment and love for Jesus.
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.
The source of every good thing
This Bible passage discusses how every good thing comes from God as the supreme gift giver. It advises that before worshipping, one should rid themselves of self-deception. During worship, focus on God as the source of all good things. After worship, put what you've learned into practice by living according to God's word.
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.
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.
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.
The church of christ is not a denomination
The document discusses why the church of Christ is not a denomination. It provides several reasons: 1) It has no denominational founder or origin, hierarchy, or headquarters. 2) It does not have a denominational creed or traditions it is bound by. 3) It does not have denominational names, forms of worship, or plans of salvation. The church of Christ considers itself the original New Testament church rather than a denomination.
The prescription for a happy life
According to I Peter 3:10-12, to love life and see good days one must be careful with their words, avoid evil and do good, get along with others, remain on the side of the Lord, and stay in prayer with God.
Why preach
This document discusses why preaching is important. It summarizes that preaching is compelled by the power of responsibility to share the gospel with others. The preacher cares about people and wants to serve them by helping some listen, change, and be saved so that both the preacher and others can enjoy the fruits of the gospel together, owing Jesus for dying for them.
Can you recommend your religion
The document provides guidance on how to recommend one's religion based on the Bible and through good works. It recommends recommending religion through studying the Bible as referenced in several passages. It also suggests recommending religion through supporting it with good works, as the book of Titus emphasizes being a pattern of and ready for every good work.
Four things that everyone needs to know about hell
The document discusses four things everyone needs to know about hell: 1) Hell is a possible future even for those currently prosperous. 2) Hell is a place of eternal torment and agony with no relief. 3) Hell offers no hope of relief or escape from suffering. 4) A person can avoid going to hell by obeying God's word.
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.
There they crucified

Live rather than Exist
It’s sad to know that some Christians today live defeated lives because they don’t realize the power they have to be victorious. Paul prayed for the believers/church in Ephesians 3:14-19. He prayed that they may be strengthened with power through His Spirit. He prayed for power, the power to live a life which reflects God's greatness and love.
how big is your god
Ephesians 3:14-21 How big is your God? The ability of my God is boundless. The ability of my God goes beyond my prayers. The ability of my God is beyond my ability to imagine. The ability of my God is manifested in the lives of His people. The ability of my God is seen through His glorious church. The ability of my God is eternal.

All His Benefits - Week 2 Love
This document discusses the concept of love through several Bible passages. It first defines love as Jesus laying down his life for humanity, and God sending his Son as a sacrifice for sins. It notes God loved the world so much he gave his Son so that all who believe in him will have eternal life. Another passage says that greater love has no one than to lay down one's life for friends. The document urges readers to comprehend the breadth, length, height and depth of Christ's love, which surpasses knowledge, and to be filled with all the fullness of God. It closes by asking God to direct hearts into his love and Christ's steadfastness.
Rooted and Grounded in Love - Ephesians 3:14-21
That God will empower us through his Spirit to comprehend His love so that we may be filled with His fullness.
Not that we love God more, but that we comprehend just how much God loves us.
ICPFPPT.pptx
This document contains the notes from sessions of the 13th National Conference. It discusses knowing God's plans and thoughts for us, which are higher than our own. It emphasizes that we must know who Jesus Christ is, who he is for us personally, and who we are in Christ. We must be saved by faith in Christ and become a new creation. As God's chosen people, we should pray for wisdom, revelation, and strength from God. When facing problems, we should completely surrender to God and proclaim his promises, knowing that Christ cares for us and that our lives are eternally secure through him.
great things he has done
The document discusses the great things that God has done according to the book of Ephesians. It covers four key areas:
1) God settled our largest debt through Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
2) God satisfied our deepest need for forgiveness by forgiving our sins through Christ's death.
3) God provided our greatest desire for guidance by revealing the mystery of Christ and providing direction for how Christians should walk.
4) God prepared our highest longing by preparing an eternal home for believers in heaven.
The document encourages giving God glory for these blessings and making the decision to live for Him who died and rose again.
The Holy Spirit - Part II
The document discusses several key aspects of the Holy Spirit:
1) The Holy Spirit indwells believers according to several passages.
2) Speaking against the Holy Spirit is an unforgivable sin according to Jesus, referring to attributing His works to Satan.
3) The gift of the Holy Spirit is received through obedience to the gospel including baptism, sealing believers as children of God.

what pleases god
It should be our desire to please God, but how do we please God? God wants you forgive your sins. God wants you to believe in Him and trust Him. God wants you to do his will. God wants you to follow Him. God wants you to forsake all for him. God wants you to be in heaven with Him.

ReceivingGrace.com - Promises Week 3
The document discusses how nothing can separate believers from the love of God through Christ. It references passages that say God has established a new covenant through Jesus, writing His law on people's hearts, and all will know Him. It asks what can separate believers from Christ's love, and answers that despite troubles, the love of God in Christ conquers all. Believers can draw near to God with confidence, know and experience His love, and are seated with Christ in the heavenly places.
Biblical Discernment05
The document discusses the essential doctrines of biblical discernment including recognizing the Bible as God's inspired and inerrant word with authority, the greatness of God and his son Jesus Christ who lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and rose again, as well as the role of the Holy Spirit. It also covers the essentials of the gospel including a right view of sin, oneself, and salvation by grace through faith alone. The document provides guidance for handling non-essential doctrines with humility, searching scripture, consulting others, and prioritizing the gospel.
COncert of prayer_2.pptx
The document discusses theological education and strengthening faith. It provides three key points:
1. Jesus spoke of the need for a kernel of wheat to fall to ground and die to produce many seeds, referring to his impending death and resurrection.
2. True disciples must follow Jesus in sacrificial service, even to the point of hating one's life in this world.
3. Theological education should help believers present their bodies as living sacrifices to God through reasonable service, as the world has been crucified to them and they to the world.

True fellowship future
This document summarizes a Bible study on the future fulfilment of true fellowship between believers. It discusses how believers will one day be united with God and each other in eternal fellowship. Several Bible passages are cited that describe believers being called the children of God, seeing him face to face in heaven, and the earth being filled with God's glory. Ultimately, true fellowship will be fulfilled when believers are presented as the spotless bride of Christ to dwell with him forever in the holy city New Jerusalem without any tears or suffering.
are you ready to live for jesus
2 Corinthians 5:14-17. Are you ready to live for Jesus.
I. AM I SEEING TO IT THAT MY THOUGHTS ARE RIGHT?
II. AM I SEEING TO IT THAT MY ATTITUDES AND MOTIVES ARE RIGHT?
III. AM I SEEING TO IT THAT MY ACTIONS ARE RIGHT?
IV. AM I READY TO GIVE ACCOUNT TO GOD?
gifts from god
God gives the best gifts to those who believe in Him. Every good gift comes from God, who is the Father of lights. Of His own will, God brought believers forth through the word of truth so that they might be the first to receive His gifts. The greatest gifts God gives are salvation, serenity, strength, stability, and living by God's standards rather than those of the world.

More from James Pharr
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.
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.
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.
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.
Remove your nagging fear
The document discusses how to remove nagging fears and know for sure about salvation. It explains that feelings are uncertain and can produce false confidence or concern. True confidence depends on the Spirit's testimony rather than speculation, and is based on knowledge of what the Spirit commands rather than past accomplishments or failures. Walking in the light through obedience to the Spirit's commands allows one to have assurance despite an inability to remember or recount past good deeds.
Why should i partake of the lord supper every week
The document discusses why Christians should partake in communion every week. It provides four reasons: 1) to eat a meal with Jesus Christ; 2) to have special fellowship with other Christians; 3) to be reminded of one's own weaknesses and sins; and 4) to be convicted that Jesus suffered in their place. The document encourages regular participation in communion.
The blind men and the elephant
The poem describes six blind men who encounter an elephant for the first time and try to describe what it is like by touching different parts of its body. The first feels the side and thinks the elephant is like a wall, the second feels the tusk and thinks it is like a spear, and so on for the trunk, knee, ear, and tail. Each believes their limited experience defines the entire elephant, and they argue loudly without realizing the others have felt different parts. The poem is a metaphor for religious disputes where participants argue without understanding each other's full perspectives.
What is your ministry
The document discusses how in the church, just as the human body has different parts that each play an important role, every member of the church has different gifts and ministries that together allow the body of Christ to grow. It references passages from Romans, 1 Corinthians, and Ephesians to illustrate how Christians should use their individual talents to serve others. The key message is that each person's contribution is valuable, and the church functions best when all members use their gifts faithfully in ministry to one another.
How does god forgive sin
The document discusses how God forgives sin through a substitute, suffering, and settled sacrifice of Jesus Christ that was sufficient to bring people to God. It references a Bible passage about Christ suffering once for sins to serve as a substitute sacrifice, with his one-time suffering acting as a settled means to bring people to God and allow forgiveness of sins.
The miracles of jesus
This document discusses the miracles of Jesus and their purpose. It asserts that Jesus' miracles prove he was sent from God, as no one could perform such miracles unless God was with them. The primary purpose of Jesus' miracles was to prove his divinity as the Son of God, but they also demonstrated his love, pity and concern for suffering humanity. Several Bible verses are presented that describe Jesus' miracles and their effects on people, helping to strengthen faith in him as the promised prophet and Messiah.
