The document discusses how fornication prevents glorifying God with one's body. It notes that fornication exercises authority over people, that the body is not designed for fornication, and that our bodies will be raised. The sexual relationship is designed for marriage alone. Fornication is a sin against the body, and believers were bought with a price, so they should honor God with their bodies. The document encourages believers to glorify God by being in His body, the church, and asks if any are preventing themselves from glorifying God.

We often hear that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. When we hear this sentence, we are very happy and think that we can take the express train to heaven smoothly. But is this really the case? If we think about it carefully, we can know that the first statement that we must be in the love of Christ can be established, and if we have to continue to do follow-up work in the love of Christ, because there is something that can be compared with the love of Christ. What separates us is whether we continue to be in the love of Christ, or if we think we have it, we no longer obey God’s words, which will make us leave the love of Christ.

Building better bonds by the blood of Jesus
All of us as children of God must realize our common bond and need of the blood of Christ! Both audio and slides can be enjoyed together at www.cmcoc.org Sermon by: Brian Birdow
Do you know your smell as a christian?
- We can have a bad smell in our Christian life due to sin, as the Bible lists many things God hates as sin. Sin is any act or scheme against God's law.
- We are all born with sin and prone to sin due to temptation, so we all have a bad smell inherently. However, we often cannot smell our own sins but can smell others' sins.
- There is hope, as God will forgive our sins if we confess them. He wants to help us get rid of the bad smell of sin and reflect His love instead. All we need to do is acknowledge our sins and invite Him in to help purify us.

The overall message is that through relying on God through prayer and having faith in him, and striving to become more like Christ in character, believers can overcome sinful desires and withstand worldly influences.

Before and After
Before faith in Christ, we were spiritually dead due to sin. We followed Satan and indulged our sinful desires, condemned to wrath.

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.
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

How three thousand were saved

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.
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.
