This document discusses having faith in Jesus even without seeing him personally. It encourages inviting others to sit with you, and cites biblical passages about faith coming from eyewitness testimony of Jesus, even though most people have not seen him directly. While readers have not seen Jesus in person, their faith can still be strong because the gospel witnesses are shown to be competent and trustworthy in their accounts of Jesus, allowing believers to know Jesus as unseen, but not unknown.

Focus On Goal
As a Christian Students you have to set up very specific goals and channel all your efforts towards it and above all know that God wants nothing bu the best for you and His plans for you has always been good.
God’s great confirmation
The document provides evidence for Jesus' resurrection including prophetic scriptures, the fact of his death by crucifixion, the empty tomb, and sightings of Jesus after his death. It argues that if Jesus was not resurrected, then the testimony and suffering of the apostles was in vain, they would have been intentional liars, and believing in Jesus as the Messiah would be meaningless. However, the actual resurrection verifies that Jesus' death was for the forgiveness of sins, the prophetic scriptures are true, those who do not believe in Jesus are living in vain, we will be judged by Jesus, and he is the only way to eternal life.

The document discusses God's revelation to man through the Holy Spirit and the different responses that natural and spiritual men have to this revelation. It outlines the Holy Spirit's role in revealing, researching, and residing within believers. It also contrasts how the natural man does not accept or understand God's revelation, while the spiritual man receives the Word of God. Finally, it states that the theological basis of Paul's ministry and life were solidly based on biblical doctrine and that ours should be as well.
Advent letter Fr. Richard McCullen, CM
This letter from the Superior General Richard McCullen invites the recipient to partake in an Advent meditation. It reflects on the contrast between the grandeur of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and the simplicity of Jesus's life in Galilee and birth in Bethlehem. The greatest contrast is found within the Incarnation itself, that the fullness of God dwelt within a human body. St. Vincent de Paul reflected on Christ becoming poor for our sake, and sought to do the same in serving the poor. What we bring to the poor must come from our relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer and the sacraments.
Its all about jesus
In the Gospel of John, we are told that Andrew met Jesus, with that burning zeal went and found his brother Simon Peter and brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John, but you shall be called Cephas". What did Jesus saw in Peter? What does Jesus sees in you today? How does one keep the flame alive? In what ways do I share or give testimony of the love of Jesus to others? As leaders, we are to seek Him, receive Him, know Him, love Him, serve Him and be like Him, you know….. it’s all about Jesus.
Merry Christmas? (Matthew 2:16-18)

This document contains a sermon on Luke 24 and Jesus as the resurrected one. It discusses how Jesus is at once present yet elusive, direct yet mysterious, and healed yet wounded. It notes how resurrection life is preceded by brokenness and death. The resurrected one both shows us that brokenness and death lead to new life and raises questions about what resurrection life will truly look like and what we should do in light of it.
The world into which christianity was born
The world into which Christianity was born was filled with competing religions and philosophies, including paganism, emperor worship, Greek stoicism and platonism, Egyptian and Persian mystery cults like Zoroastrianism and Mithraism, and Judaism. However, Christianity flourished despite opposition. Paganism and Greek philosophies could not disprove Christianity's rational basis. While some Jews converted to Christianity, others were convinced by its argument that Jesus was the promised Messiah. Factors that contributed to Christianity's growth included prophetic expectations being fulfilled in Jesus, eyewitnesses excitedly spreading the word of his miracles, resurrection, and ascension, as well as theological excitement and hope. Persecution could

Finally, it outlines that Jesus' strategy was not to critique, condemn, compromise, or confuse the world, but rather to save it through his sacrifice on the cross.
Spiritual Imposters
Paul writes to the Corinthians expressing concern that they have been led astray by false teachers preaching a different gospel. He contrasts himself with these "imposters" and "big-shot apostles", noting that while he may not have their eloquence, he knows what he is talking about. Paul suffered greatly for the gospel and warns the Corinthians that their faith is at risk if they accept these other messages that distort Jesus' true teachings.

Will jesus weep again
This document discusses Jesus weeping over Jerusalem and the reasons why. It notes that Jesus wept because of the people's superficial religion, their passing up the opportunity to accept him, and the impending judgment that would come upon Jerusalem. The document analyzes the biblical passage of Luke 19:37-45 and the three reasons given in the text for why Jesus wept over the city.
When christians disappoint us
Paul was disappointed when no one stood with him during his first defense, as all men forsook him, but he prayed that their abandonment would not be held against them. Despite the disappointments of men, Paul trusted that God would stand with him and strengthen him.
Our plea
This document makes a plea to return to the old paths of religion by restoring the church to its original New Testament condition. It argues that over time, many denominations developed with their own doctrines and practices beyond what is in the Bible. The restoration plea calls for abandoning human creeds and returning solely to the authority of Scripture. It asserts this plea is right because it adheres closely to the teachings and sufficiency of the Bible alone. The document encourages the reader to walk in the old paths by restoring the early church as established by Christ and described in the New Testament.
Beware of the leaven
The document warns Christians to beware of small changes or compromises to biblical doctrine and practice, such as believing that instrumental music, immersion, church membership, taking communion every Sunday, or the church's name are not essential parts of faith. It references Matthew 16:5-12 and the idea that a "little leaven" can influence believers away from truth.
Is christ your lord
The document discusses the different ways that the word "Kurios" is used in the New Testament. It is used to refer to ownership or that believers belong to God since he bought them with a price. It also refers to the master-slave relationship and titles given to a king or as a title of respect. The document asks at the end if Christ is the reader's Lord, implying he should be recognized as the master and king through the different meanings of Kurios.

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.
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.

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.

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

Unseen, but not unknown
- 3. Our Goal for this month June - Invite visitors to sit with you.
- 5. Unseen, But Not Unknown I Peter 1:8
- 6. During the thirty-three years of His earthly life, only a relatively few people in one small country ever saw Him in person, and even fewer saw Him after His resurrection
- 8. We have a confident faith because of the eyewitness testimony Are the witnesses competent? Are they in a position to know the facts? Are they trustworthy? Is there agreement among the witnesses?
- 9. The spiritual circumstances and faith of Peter’s first readers was not different from our own. They had not seen Jesus in person, yet they believed. Therefore, for us, He is unseen, but He is not unknown!
