The document summarizes the Christian story of Jesus's birth according to the gospels of Matthew and Luke. It describes Gabriel appearing to Mary and telling her she will bear God's son, Jesus. It then details Mary traveling to visit her cousin Elizabeth and Joseph and Mary traveling to Bethlehem for the census, where Mary gives birth to Jesus in a manger because there was no room at the inn. Shepherds are told of Jesus's birth by angels and go to see him, and later wise men follow a star to bring Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. The story is interspersed with songs relating to Jesus's birth.
This document discusses how God often uses underdogs and unlikely people to accomplish great things. It provides several examples from the Bible where small groups or individuals overcame much larger forces, such as Gideon's 300 men defeating the 10,000 Midianites. The author argues that all Christians can be witnesses for God regardless of their strengths or weaknesses, as God equips the willing rather than the able. Christians should have faith that God can use them to spread the gospel message even if they feel inadequate themselves.
The book of Hebrews argues that Jesus is greater than the prophets, angels, Moses, Israel, the Sabbath, priests, the tabernacle, and the old covenant. The author is unknown but possibly Barnabas, Apollos, or Paul. The audience is Hebrews facing questions about continuing Jewish customs or following the new teachings of Jesus. The book emphasizes that Jesus' sacrifice was once for all, replacing the old sacrificial system with a new, perfect covenant through his death on the cross.
Mt 17:20 So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
The document provides an introduction to the Epistle to the Hebrews. It discusses that the book is unique in its structure, moving from an essay to a sermon to a letter. It contains challenging but insightful contents. It warns of the danger of apostasy and need for steadfast faith. The background discusses that the author is unknown but likely not Paul, and that it was written to Jewish Christians prior to 70 AD. The purpose was to prevent abandoning faith in Christ by showing His superiority over the Old Covenant. It provides exhortations from this superiority.

The birth of christ & the birth of a christianSam Ward
The document is a sermon that discusses the birth of Jesus Christ and the birth of a Christian. It makes three main points:
1. It discusses key facts about the birth of Jesus Christ from the Gospel of Matthew, including that he was conceived by the Holy Spirit, making him the Son of God and qualified to be mankind's sacrifice.
2. It explains that just as Jesus had to be born physically to become the Savior, Christians must be "born again" spiritually through faith to gain salvation.
3. It outlines how one enters the kingdom of God by exercising faith in Christ's provision of salvation, drawing on the biblical story of the bronze snake as an analogy for believing in God's
Jesus describes himself as the Good Shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep. In contrast, a hired hand will flee when the sheep are threatened by a wolf. As the Good Shepherd, Jesus knows and cares for his sheep intimately. He promises to bring other sheep into his flock from other folds, like the Gentiles. His death and resurrection demonstrate his commitment to the sheep. The passage leads to another division among the Jews about Jesus' identity and message.
The document describes the birth of Jesus Christ as told in the Gospel of Luke. It details the annunciations to Zechariah and Mary by the angel Gabriel that they would have children, the visits between Mary and Elizabeth, the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, his presentation at the temple, and the flight into Egypt to escape King Herod.
Elijah the prophet tells King Ahab there will be no rain or dew for years according to God's word. God tells Elijah to hide by the brook Cherith where ravens will feed him. Elijah does so and is fed by ravens. After a while, the brook dries up because there has been no rain.
THE SABBATH SCHOOL - 1st QUARTER 2021 - LESSON 4Adam Hiola
- Isaiah prophesied that within a few years, the kingdoms of Israel and Syria would no longer exist, which came true when Syria fell to Assyria and Israel was conquered by Assyria.
- Ahaz, the king of Judah, disobeyed God by forming an alliance with Assyria and worshipping their gods. As a result, God used Assyria to destroy parts of Judah as well.
- Isaiah was told by God to name his son as a sign that Assyria would conquer surrounding lands, which came to pass. Though Assyria destroyed much of Judah, God spared the remnant who remained faithful to Him.
BLC Sermon - Who do you say I am? - 20110815 Leigh Wong
Jesus asks his disciples who people say he is and they respond with various prophets. He then asks who they say he is. Simon Peter responds by saying "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." Jesus confirms that Peter's response came from divine revelation, not human teaching, establishing his identity as the Messiah and Son of God sent by God the Father.
The document provides a summary of a passage from the Gospel of Mark. It begins by setting the scene in Gerasenes where Jesus encounters a dangerous and distressed man possessed by an unclean spirit called Legion. Jesus casts the spirit out of the man and into a herd of pigs, frightening the townspeople. The man is left in his right mind and the people are rattled by Jesus' power over evil spirits. The summary concludes by reminding the reader not to fear evil spirits, as Jesus has power to change lives and bring God's kingdom.

A Prophet Like Me
Cities Of Refuge
Hosea prophesied around 750 BC, warning the northern tribes of Israel's impending doom due to their lack of knowledge of God, idolatry, corruption, and sinfulness. The Israelites trusted the wrong sources for help instead of God, were guilty of grievous sins like bloodshed and immorality while still performing meaningless rituals, and had corrupt leaders. Hosea called them to repentance, but they did not heed his warnings. God commands all people today to repent and obey him as well.
1) Sacrifices offered to God required fine flour, oil, wine, and salt to recognize God's gifts and express gratitude.
2) Both Israelites and foreigners could offer sacrifices to God, as God wants all people to have salvation.
3) Sacrifices were required for sins committed unintentionally or in ignorance, such as accidentally using counterfeit money without realizing. Willful defiance of God's commands, on the other hand, was punishable by death.
4) The goal of the sacrificial system was to help God's people remember and obey his commandments to be holy.
Journey through the Bible 5 - Numbers: Crisis in the DesertResurrection Church
The document summarizes key events from the book of Numbers in the Bible. It describes how the Israelites rebelled against God and Moses during their journey in the desert by complaining. God punished them by making them wander in the desert for 38 years until the rebellious generation died off. The Israelites faced crises of lack of food and water, and were attacked by poisonous snakes at one point. However, when they repented, God provided a way of salvation through Moses lifting up a bronze snake on a pole for the people to look at and be healed. The document connects this to Jesus, saying he was "lifted up" on the cross to save all who believe in him from the punishment of sin.
May 5 2019 - Sunday service - 4 Significant Revelations in JoshuaCatherine Lirio
This document discusses 4 significant revelations found in the book of Joshua:
1. Keeping the spirit of conquest alive by making others followers of God.
2. Taking obedience and disobedience seriously to receive God's blessings.
3. Committing to strong unity for success, as the Israelites committed to obeying Joshua.
4. Having faith in God's miraculous help in battles, as seen through events like the stopping of the Jordan River's flow.
The document discusses the anointing of kings in the Old Testament. It describes how Saul, David, and Solomon were each anointed by Samuel or priests to become king. Absalom also had himself anointed during his rebellion against David. The document notes that anointing was the ordinary procedure to make someone king, usually done by a priest or prophet. It then discusses the different types of anointings for believers today - the leper's anointing of salvation, the priestly anointing for ministry, and the kingly anointing of authority over darkness. The leper's anointing comes by faith, the priestly by fellowship, and the kingly by obedience to Jesus.
1) Jesus tells a parable about a fig tree that was planted in a vineyard but produced no fruit for three years, despite being in a protected location and receiving care.
2) The owner decides to cut it down since it is not fulfilling its purpose of producing fruit, but the vinedresser pleads for one more year to dig around it and fertilize it in hopes it will then bear fruit.
3) The parable teaches that God expects believers to bear fruit and be useful for his kingdom, but he also shows patience and gives people more chances to change through the intercession of Jesus.

We're all searching for God, but some people are searching for the god of their own making. In the life of Moses, the Israelites wanted a God to take away their pain while Pharaoh wanted a God to produce prosperity. Neither wanted God for himself.

God's ultimate goal for believers is to become like Christ through spiritual growth and development of Christ-like character. We are saved by Jesus, our Savior and Lord, and must cooperate with the Holy Spirit's work to put off our old selves and put on the new self. God uses His word, people, and circumstances to mold us into Christ's image through a long and slow lifelong process of character development.
The document discusses understanding God's timing and trusting in his plan. It provides several biblical quotes and passages about having faith that God will fulfill his purposes in his own time.

SHALL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME …….that I am the Lord; for they shall not be put to shame who wait for, look for, hope for, and expect Me.
I will renew my strength and power and mount up with wings as eagles… go close to God and understand His perfect will concerning my situation.
The document discusses waiting on God's timing. It notes that God has a plan and timing that should not be ignored. It uses the example of David, who was anointed king at a young age but had to wait 14 years and hide from King Saul before becoming king, to illustrate God's plan and timing. The document also includes several Bible verses about waiting on God from Psalms. It states that God requires waiting to receive direction, keep people in step with his timing, test and strengthen faith, and bring people through to his timing. Finally, it recommends waiting patiently, with trust, expectation, steadfastness, and standing on God's word.
This document discusses different types of motion. It defines motion as a change in an object's position over time and notes that motion is always observed relative to a reference point. It then outlines the main types of motion as translatory, circular, random, oscillatory, vibratory, and periodic motion. Translatory motion is described as uniform motion in a straight line and can be rectilinear or curvilinear. Circular motion involves moving around a fixed axis, with examples given of revolution and rotatory motion. Several everyday objects and actions demonstrating multiple types of motion are provided.
The document summarizes Jesus reading from the prophet Isaiah about proclaiming good news to the poor, freedom for prisoners, recovery of sight for the blind, and setting the oppressed free. It then contrasts this with the modern world being driven to control, consume, and conquer. It offers the gospel as an alternative through a new relationship with God through adoption, a new relationship with life through having the right attitude, and a new relationship with time rather than living for ambition, affluence, and anger.
The document describes the story from Exodus where the Israelites fled Egypt but were pursued by Pharaoh and his army. As Pharaoh's forces approached the Israelites camped by the sea, the Israelites cried out in fear to Moses, complaining they should not have left Egypt. Moses reassured the people, telling them not to be afraid and that God would deliver them. God then told Moses to raise his staff so the waters would part, allowing the Israelites to cross the sea to safety. The document also discusses appropriate responses to crises like having confidence, standing on convictions, and trusting that the future is in God's hands.

This document discusses the importance of proper comma placement and provides examples of how commas can drastically change the meaning of sentences. Some sentences are written with unfortunate comma placement that alter the intended meaning. The document encourages readers to pay attention to comma placement to avoid unintended meanings and potentially humorous or inappropriate interpretations. It also briefly touches on conflict management techniques like understanding different personality types and communication styles using the Myers-Briggs framework to minimize conflicts.
Moses, the great Old Testament Leader, was also deeply wounded by issues of rejection, abandonment and isolation. We can learn to face our own pain and suffering with courage, because God did not abandon Moses but worked through his life in a relationship that is deeply personal and healing.
Are You A Child Of The Wicked Or Of The Kingdom?Kennedy Liyai
This document discusses the difference between being a child of God versus a child of the wicked. It states that those who do not confront evil are children of the wicked, while those who do God's will are children of the kingdom. It encourages choosing to serve God and warns that those who scheme evil will have their lives cut short. The document advocates humbling oneself, praying, and seeking God's face in order to heal lands and withstand attacks on foundations of society.
This document discusses reasons why prayers may not be answered, including unconfessed sin, idol worship, leaving the word of God, not praying, ignoring God, and personnel shortage. It suggests that unbelief, premature expectation, and blindness can also prevent prayers from being answered. Several Bible verses are referenced to support each point.
Walking on water was no problem for Jesus, who had divine power. For Peter, it became a problem when his faith wavered. To walk on water by faith, one must first wait for God's word commanding the action. Only then can one take steps in faith, trusting God to enable and save them. Religious people today also need God's word as authorization before acting or organizing. Faith is needed to continue walking by God's instructions despite life's storms, believing He has the power and will act as He has said.
Matthew 28:17
And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
Matthew 28:18
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: {teach...: or, make disciples, or, Christians of all nations}
Matthew 28:20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen (KJV)

The document discusses the importance of the church according to the Bible. It states that God designed the church and calls believers to be living stones built into a spiritual house. The church is described as the body of Christ and God's plan in the world. The document suggests that God is unhappy with those who do not take church responsibilities seriously, and provides several Bible verses on encouraging and accepting one another as members of the church. It gives reasons why attending church is important, such as being part of a team, family, and place of training. In the end, it emphasizes that God loves the church and calls believers to love and protect it as well.
The document discusses the fourth commandment to honor thy father and mother. It explains that the commandment means to give respect and obey one's parents, and not obeying or listening to them is forbidden. It also provides definitions for father and mother, and notes that the commandment shows that God loves families.
This document discusses emerging technologies that are lowering the cost and increasing the impact of events, such as hybrid events, event apps, and audience response systems. It provides examples of the largest hybrid events in the world and low-cost production equipment. It also summarizes popular audience response systems like Poll Everywhere that allow event organizers to gather real-time feedback from audiences using mobile devices and web technology instead of proprietary hardware.
The document compares and contrasts the biblical books of Genesis and Exodus. It notes that Genesis begins with the story of Abraham and his family, while Exodus focuses on Moses and his family. Both Abraham and Moses are called to leave their homelands and travel to foreign lands. The document then provides background information on Egypt, including details about the Nile River, Lower and Upper Egypt, and the New Kingdom Period. It summarizes key events in Exodus chapter 1, including the Israelites settling in Goshen, a new pharaoh arising who did not know Joseph, the Egyptians enslaving the Israelites, and the pharaoh ordering the killing of Hebrew newborn boys.
Upon coming to the Promised Land, the Hebrews must choose whether to embrace the future God has led them to, or to turn away. The metaphor is for the Kingdom of God that we as Christians profess. "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done..." but when it means risking our comfort and convenience, will we too turn away?
In Beshalach, Pharaoh pursues the children of Isra’el into the wilderness. The Sea of Suf splits, the children of Isra’el cross the sea while the Mitsrite army is drowned. Moshe and the children of Isra’el sing a special song thanking Elohim for this miracle. The children of Isra’el complain about a lack of food and drink. Elohim sends man and quail for them to eat, and miraculously produces water from a rock. ‘Amalek attacks Isra’el and is soundly defeated.
Jesus is God! The document provides numerous examples from both the Old and New Testaments demonstrating that Jesus is the God of the Old Testament who created all things, spoke to prophets and patriarchs, and protected His people. Jesus is also shown to be God in the New Testament through His own claims and others' statements about Him. He is the Creator, Redeemer, and eternal God over all.
The Old Testament - Family of God = IsraelVintage Church
This document discusses the relationship between the American church and Israel based on their biblical identities and purposes. It notes that the church has forgotten its calling to live as a family, while Israel remembered its identity as a family but forgot its purpose to be a light to the nations. It explores biblical concepts of covenant, identity, and obedience through the examples of Abraham, Joseph, and Israel. The key message is that there is now an available new covenant through faith in Jesus where all people can be part of God's family.
Jesus is God! The document provides many examples from both the Old and New Testaments demonstrating that Jesus is the Creator, the God who spoke to people in the Old Testament, and is equal to God the Father. It summarizes that Jesus is the God of all time and eternity.
This document provides an overview and summary of Exodus 7-10 from the Bible. It describes God sending 10 plagues against Egypt through Moses and Aaron to convince Pharaoh to let the Israelites go. The plagues included turning the Nile to blood, bringing frogs, gnats, flies, killing livestock, causing boils, and bringing hail, locusts, and 3 days of darkness. Each plague targeted an Egyptian god. Pharaoh's heart remained hardened despite the plagues, though he showed some willingness to compromise. The document provides context and symbolism around the confrontation between God and Pharaoh and the liberation of God's people from slavery.
Jesus is both the Lamb and the Lion. As the Lamb, He is the sacrifice that takes away the sins of the world. As the Lion, He will fiercely and faithfully judge sin. The Bible reveals Jesus in these paradoxical yet complementary roles. He fulfilled God's plan as the perfect sacrifice, remaining faithful even unto death. Both His love as the Lamb and righteousness as the Lion should elicit awe and prompt believers to live faithfully according to God's word.
1) The document discusses the life of Abraham, noting that his life was one of faith and testing as he obeyed God at every juncture.
2) It emphasizes that passing life's tests requires stubborn optimism in God, resolute confidence in Him, and steadfast obedience.
3) The story of Sarah's death and Abraham's subsequent actions are examined, finding that greater life can come through death, as seen in Jesus and the harvest of salvation that resulted from His death and resurrection.
Jesus Christ our promised seed is the fulcrum of all history. By gaining a greater understanding of God’s promised redeemer, we can grow in our love and appreciation for what Jesus Christ accomplished.
The Clarion Call to Trust God - Joshua 11Mike Duco
Joshua and the Israelites faced a large coalition of enemy kings who gathered together to fight against them. However, God assured Joshua that he would deliver all of the enemy into their hands. The next day, Joshua and his warriors surprised the enemy forces and, with God's help, utterly defeated them as God had promised. Joshua then carried out God's commands to fully conquer the land and its inhabitants, demonstrating his complete trust and obedience to God.
The document discusses the three angels' messages of Revelation 14:6-12. It explains that the remnant of God's church will keep the commandments of God and have faith in Jesus. In contrast, the beast power will worship the antichrist and break God's commandments. It also discusses how the new covenant written on the heart by the Holy Spirit will enable God's end-time people to obey his commandments through love.
Just as the Gibeonites deceived Joshua so Christians today can be deceived and suffering severe deleterious consequences. How can we avoid deception? What lessons can we learn from Joshua's experience?

The document discusses how biblical figures like Elijah, Samson, and others were ordinary men who accomplished extraordinary things through their faith in God. It provides examples from the books of Judges and Hebrews of how Samson, Elijah, and other biblical heroes overcame challenges by faith. The conclusion exhorts the reader that if these men made it into the "Hall of Faith" through their faith and God's strength despite their flaws, then the reader too can have great faith through relying on God.
The document discusses the commandments of God and contrasts them with the commandments of man. It argues that the Ten Commandments were given by God to the Israelites after delivering them from slavery in Egypt. However, the Israelites were a stubborn people and repeatedly broke their covenant with God. The New Testament established a new covenant where God's law would be written on people's hearts rather than on tablets of stone. True followers of God are described as keeping God's commandments out of love for Him through the power of the Holy Spirit working within them.
Biblical Faith is trust in the Sovereignty of God;
surrender to the Lordship of Christ;
obedience to the Word of God;
willingness to sacrifice for the Kingdom of God;
determination to seek first the Kingdom of God;
following in the steps of Christ;
putting Biblical duty first;
courage to overcome our fears;
boldness to obey God in spite of all opposition;
perseverance in spite of setbacks;
and discernment as to what is that good, acceptable and perfect Will of God (Romans 12:2).
Not unlike the effects of today’s Coronavirus, the older generation of Israel in the wilderness were dying. Numbers 20 begins with the death of Miriam (1) and concludes with the death of Aaron (28, 29). If you were to die today, what legacy would you leave? When was the last time you murmured or complained about something associated with COVID-19? What was your complaint? How did your criticism or complaint change you, your relationship with God and those around you? Why did the Lord send “fiery serpents among the people” (21:6)? What was Moses’ response when he heard their complaints and saw God’s judgment? (7) How should we be like Moses? What was the Lord’s response? (8) Why did Jesus compare Himself to Moses’ brazen serpent? (John 3:14-16) Why do many (sadly most) people refuse to look and live? (8)
This document provides a summary of Exodus 7-10 from a church sermon. It discusses how God sent 10 plagues against Egypt through Moses and Aaron to convince Pharaoh to let the Israelites go. Each plague targeted an Egyptian god to demonstrate God's power. It examines the symbolism of the plagues and Pharaoh's hardened heart. The sermon looks at how Satan imitates God's powers but cannot match His true authority and glory. It closes by emphasizing the need to discern truth from deception and find salvation through Jesus Christ alone.
Similar to Waiting on god from the life of moses 1 (20)
The Parable of the Sower and the Seed (Luke 8) is about radical transformation from dirt to new life that happens from God's Word and the dangers that come for those seeking spiritual growth!
Satan challenges God by saying that Job is only faithful because of the blessings God has given him. God allows Satan to take Job's possessions and children but not harm Job. Messengers tell Job that raiders have taken his livestock and servants, and a wind has killed his children. Job tears his clothes and worships God, saying "The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away" without blaming God.
The document discusses the importance of obedience to God and choosing life over death. It contains passages from Deuteronomy 30 instructing the Israelites that God's commandments are accessible and not too difficult to follow. It warns that disobedience and worshipping other gods will lead to destruction, while choosing life through obedience to God will result in blessings. The document emphasizes some ways people can become too distracted or short-sighted to obey God, and encourages focusing on living in a way one's mature children would advise.
This document discusses nobility and having a greater purpose in life. It references finding desires within oneself that cannot be satisfied by worldly experiences, suggesting this may indicate being made for another, non-worldly existence. The document also references Mt. Pleasant and repeatedly features the phrase "The Heart of Nobility".
This document contains excerpts from the Bible discussing living as a new creation in Christ and having a true identity in Him. It encourages overcoming fear and acting courageously like Esther, who risked her life to save her people. Three key messages are to not be afraid to stand alone for what is right, to rock the boat if needed, and to act on God's leading through worship, prayer, and studying the Bible. The overall message is about finding identity and purpose in Christ rather than living in fear.
The document discusses various items and their appraised values, including an Easter item valued at $100 originally but now $500,000, a picture of a grandmother valued at $700,000, and a Navajo blanket valued over $1,000,000. It also contains several biblical passages about being restored, receiving a new heart, and God healing his people. Key themes are restoration, faith overcoming obstacles, and not giving up despite present suffering.
We've got to allow God to strip down all the years of grime and cheap paint piled on top of each other. He needs to get down to the bare original so He can begin to fill the cracks, sand the rough edges, and make our hearts beautiful again. He’s already looked beneath the layers and has determined that we're all worth doing over.

This document contains quotes and passages about compassion. It encourages the reader to unleash compassion by finding God through silence, helping the hungry and oppressed, and bringing sunshine to others' lives. Practicing compassion consistently and courageously makes one's light shine and brings happiness, understanding, love, and a more beautiful world.
This document contains excerpts from Isaiah 58:1-12 discussing true fasting and compassion. It urges people to loose chains of injustice, share food with hungry, and clothe the naked to call God. True fasting involves acting with justice and mercy, not just outward rituals. It promises that acting with compassion will lead to healing, righteousness, and God's presence and help. The document encourages rising up with courageous, consistent, and contagious compassion to witness happiness, deeper understanding, love, and make the world more beautiful.
The document encourages Christians to pursue a Christ-centered life as children of light. It reminds them that through faith in Jesus, who died for their salvation, they have been given life even in death. Christians are urged to speak encouraging words to one another, build each other up in hope, and not sleepwalk through life like unbelievers. They belong to the day and should act like children of the light by walking in faith, love, and hope of salvation.
Philip tells Nathanael about Jesus and invites him to "come and see." When Jesus sees Nathanael approaching, he says he saw Nathanael under a fig tree before Philip called him. Surprised, Nathanael declares that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus promises Nathanael that he will see greater things, including heaven opening and angels ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.
The document discusses living a better story and soaring like eagles. It encourages the reader not to stay down in depression but to rise up and see the sky. It says one cannot soar without growing wings through faith and cannot soar without training, commitment, and setting deadlines to avoid an ambiguous life. The reader is asked if they are ready to soar with eagles.
This document discusses living a better story and finding the life you were meant for. It references several Bible verses about belief, adventure, wealth, faith, and God. It includes quotes about awakening the soul and living urgently instead of with complacency. The overall message encourages the reader to live purposefully and not settle for less than their full potential.
The document summarizes Jesus beginning his ministry in Galilee after John the Baptist was imprisoned. It quotes passages from Matthew and Isaiah about Jesus preaching in Galilee and the land receiving light after being in darkness. It also discusses how through Christ, people are no longer strangers, separated from God, or slaves to sin and darkness but can walk with God.

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
2. This is God’s Word for my life in this Place and
at this Time. Today I am a new creation in
Christ, I am God’s very own, and I KNOW He
has a purpose for my life.
3. Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation
died, but the Israelites were exceedingly fruitful; they
multiplied greatly, increased in numbers and became so
numerous that the land was filled with them.
4. Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came
to power in Egypt. “Look,” he said to his people, “the
Israelites have become far too numerous for us. Come,
we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become
even more numerous and, if war breaks out,
5. will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the
country.”
So they put slave masters over them to oppress them
with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as
store cities for Pharaoh.
6. But the more they were oppressed, the more they
multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread
the Israelites and worked them ruthlessly.
7. They made their lives bitter with harsh labor in brick and
mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their
harsh labor the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly.
Exodus 1:6-15
9. GOD said to Abram, “Know this: your descendants
will live as outsiders in a land not theirs; they’ll be
enslaved and beaten down for 400 years. Then I’ll
punish their slave masters; your offspring will march
out of there loaded with plunder.” Genesis 15:13-14
11. World View
Materialism – do it yourself, get what you want, make it happen
Spiritualism – things are improving, karma
Biblical Theism – God’s plan, God’s timing, God’s Way
12. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not
on your own understanding; in all your ways submit
to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Pr 3:5-6
13. The PURPOSE of Waiting
Our willingness to wait reveals the VALUE
we place on what we’re waiting for.

15. The PROMISE of Waiting
God sees those who hurt
God strengthens those who trust
God delivers those who wait
16. During that long period, the king of Egypt died. The
Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their
cry for help because of their slavery went up to God. God
heard their groaning and he remembered his
covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. So God
looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them.
Exodus 2:23-25
17. I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the
living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
Psalm 27:13-14
18. Those that wait upon the LORD shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up with wings as
eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they
shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
