September.3.2015 - Sunday Message- HEART OF WORSHIPCatherine Lirio
The document discusses the concept of surrendering one's life to God. It explains that surrender is not about losing but rather freely giving oneself to God out of love. True worship and bringing God glory happens through complete surrender. Surrendering involves trusting God, admitting our limitations as creatures not in control, and obeying God even if his commands don't make sense. Surrendering to God brings benefits like peace, freedom, and experiencing his power to overcome problems. Jesus is presented as the ultimate example of self-surrender.
Why do you think Paul used the metaphor of putting on “the whole armor of God” when exhorting the believer to be “strong in the Lord and in the power of His might”? Is the "armor of God" more like that of a Roman warrior or that of the Jewish High Priest? Explain. What is truth? How does truth enable the Christian to “stand against” and “withstand” the lies of Satan, the cunning craftiness of the world and the deceitfulness of our own flesh? Why are Christian instructed to “put on the whole armor of God”? Why are we commanded to “stand firm” and “stand against”? What happens when we fail to “stand”?

This document summarizes prophecies from the books of Daniel and Revelation regarding the little horn power and its 1260 day/year prophecy. It shows how the earthly sanctuary services were replaced by Rome after Christ's ministry ended, fulfilling Daniel's prophecy of the daily sacrifice being taken away. It lists 5 ways the papacy cast down God's truth: 1) Replacing Christ's sacrifice with penance and indulgences, 2) Replacing baptism with infant sprinkling, 3) Replacing the Bible with traditions, 4) Replacing Christ's mediation with confession to priests, and 5) Plunging Europe into the dark ages. The document uses the year-day principle to calculate the 1260 prophetic
"Philadelphia" means city of "Brotherly Love." What could be more brotherly than telling prospective brothers about God's great love?

The document provides details about the walls and gates of Jerusalem from the book of Nehemiah in the Bible. It discusses 10 gates that were rebuilt, including the Sheep Gate, Fish Gate, and Old Gate. It also provides historical context on Jerusalem and the Temple, and discusses the spiritual significance of rebuilding the walls as restoring true doctrine and worship. Nehemiah's example of rebuilding through prayer and unity is given as a model to follow to overcome obstacles and complete important spiritual works.
Faith is believing in God and His promises based on the evidence, even when things are not seen. This belief in God brings about obedience to Him. True faith is not simply an intellectual belief, as even demons believe, but rather it is a belief that produces good works. Faith requires obedience to God and trusting in His promises for salvation and eternal life, even when facing trials, by keeping one's eyes fixed on Jesus Christ.
The document discusses whether God cares about humanity. It addresses the concept of deism, which believes God created the universe but is not active in it. It also discusses challenges to the idea that God cares, like the problem of evil. However, it argues that Christianity provides answers to these challenges by teaching that God reconciled humanity through Jesus, gives life purpose, and promises an eternal destiny to those who believe. The document concludes that Christianity demonstrates God does care through His actions to overcome evil and save humanity.

God has a calling and purpose for each person's life. To be faithful to God's calling requires committing oneself fully to God, serving him alone, and listening for his voice in order to live out his plans each day. God's plans are for prosperity, hope, and a future.
Salt & Light: You are the salt of the earthStephen Palm
In this two week series, Pastor Steve will look at two metaphors which Jesus uses to describe His church, salt and light. This week we will look at Mt. 5:13: You are the salt of the earth.

It emphasizes the coming "Day of the Lord" where God will purge sin and restore Jerusalem, though first bringing disaster upon the nations for their sins against God.
2 Timothy is Paul's last Epistle and final words to a dear son in the faith. He addresses the call and life of a minister of God while disclosing much of how he conducted himself in ministry. In chapter 1, Paul challenges us not to be ashamed of testifying to our Lord Jesus Christ.

The document summarizes the physical suffering endured by Jesus during his crucifixion. It describes how Jesus was nailed to the cross using large nails through his wrists rather than his palms. He was forced to alternately support his weight on his nailed feet and wrists to breathe for over three hours. By the end, he had lost all of his blood and was pouring only water from his wounds. The document urges readers to accept that Jesus died for their sins and to share this message with others as a sign of their faith.
The document provides a summary of Acts 12:1-25 from the Bible. It discusses how Herod imprisoned and planned to kill Peter after already executing James. The church prayed fervently for Peter, and an angel rescued him from prison. Herod then died after accepting glory that belonged to God. The document analyzes the key events and lessons, including how prayer is powerful, pride is a sin, and Christians' goal is to glorify God rather than themselves. It closes with the plan of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

140712 eng got fruit series (part 8 - kindness & goodness) by faith yeoeaglepointcf
The document discusses kindness and goodness. It notes that kindness is about our attitude while goodness is about our actions towards others. Several Bible verses are presented that discuss God's kindness and love for humanity. Christians are called to clothe themselves with qualities like mercy, kindness, humility and patience as chosen by God. They are to reflect Christ's nature in how they treat others, including showing compassion to neighbors in need as seen in the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Choosing God's nature and counting on his strength enables Christians to live this way.
The document discusses Jesus' message from Matthew 11:28-30 about finding rest from life's burdens by coming to him. It explains this message in three parts - go to Jesus to see things from the right perspective, to live life in the right manner, and to find rest for your soul. The overall message is an invitation to depend on Jesus and see life differently in the new year.
This document provides a summary of Mark's Gospel chapter 4, which discusses Jesus as a prophet in Mark's narrative. It covers Jesus healing a blind man in two stages, exploring the disciples' recognition of Jesus as the Messiah, and analyzing the significance of the Transfiguration story. It also examines Jesus' three predictions of his passion and death, and how each is followed by a lesson on discipleship. The document demonstrates how Mark uses an intentional pattern to convey Jesus preparing the disciples for his coming death and suffering.
Sermon Slide Deck: "The Core Value Of Community" (1 Peter 1:22-25)New City Church
We value true community because the Gospel ! brings us into relationship with Jesus and with Jesus’ people.
This message was given on November 2, 2014 at New City Church in Calgary by Pastor John Ferguson. For more info visit: www.newcitychurch.ca
The document discusses true worship according to the Bible. It begins by citing John 4:23-24 which states that true worshipers will worship God in spirit and truth. Several elements of true worship are then listed such as having the right attitude, worshiping in God's presence, and doing all things in His name and in spirit. Examples are given of improper attitudes during communion, singing, prayer, giving, and teaching. It emphasizes the importance of worshiping for the right reasons and with the right heart rather than performative or self-focused worship.
Too often, church relationships contain conflict. Paul teaches us how to overcome our differences and live like Jesus by working for oneness with one another, looking to others' interests first, and becoming obedient through service.
This document compares the missions of Jesus and Paul based on six criteria: receiving the power of the Holy Spirit at the beginning of their ministries, confronting and overcoming demonic powers, preaching about scripture's fulfillment in Jesus, an initial positive response, and rejection by their countrymen. Both Jesus and Paul displayed these similarities in their missions according to the biblical passages cited.
This document discusses what Christians should bring to worship. It emphasizes bringing a desire to know the truth, a willingness to be transformed, seeking fellowship with God and others, giving our best, loving one another, and coming prepared. Several Bible verses are cited to support bringing a love of truth, transforming by renewing our minds, fellowship with God and each other, learning from others who give, obeying Christ's command to love one another, and showing kindness. The overall message is that worship requires active preparation and participation rather than just passive attendance.
What is Worship? What are the words used in the New Testament for Worship? What does it involve? Is it just about singing? True Worship, Sacrifice and Offering.
True worship is life changing and correctional. It involves drawing near to God on the mountain and coming down changed by washing away sins and putting away evil. During worship we seek to correct wrongs committed against others, strengthen unity, and leave better than we came as we are conscious of God's desire for glory and honor. The goal is to leave feeling justified before God.
This document discusses how God pursues a continuing love relationship with humanity that is personal and real. It notes that God is defined by love and has no competitors for our devotion, as shown through sending his son as a sacrifice for our sins. While God's love can be difficult for some to believe, the story of Hagar illustrates how even in her despair, God saw her and provided for her needs. The document encourages readers to pursue knowing God better by looking for where he is at work each day and participating in spiritual growth opportunities.
The document discusses the importance of personal Bible study. It states that the Bible is the only source of divine authority that provides direction, hope, peace, and understanding. Studying the Bible transforms people from earthly to spiritual minds so they can reflect Christ. The benefits of knowing God's word include truth, blessing, victory over sin and temptation, growth, power, and guidance. Regular Bible reading and study helps develop strong Christian character and spiritual fitness through developing the habit of daily reading, starting slow, and meditating on what is read. Personal Bible study is important lifelong work.
This document discusses overcoming laziness. It notes that laziness displeases God and hinders success and wealth. It encourages cultivating diligence through good habits, which the Bible promotes. These habits include daily prayer and Bible reading, worship, and involvement in ministry. Additional good habits discussed are the 5S method of organization, the 12 habits of a Christian with substance, and the 7 habits of highly effective people. The document stresses valuing spiritual riches over worldly treasures. Diligence and good habits can help overcome laziness and lead to blessing.
This is a short overview of how to grow mature in the Lord. It is a life-long process but we all can do it. God wants us to grow up to be like Jesus in words, thoughts, deeds and character. The rewards of spiritual maturity are great here on earth and probably greater in heaven!
The document discusses how God is always working and Jesus worked in accordance with God. It provides examples from the Bible of how God worked through people like Moses to accomplish his purposes. God prepares people and works on them spiritually before working through them. The document encourages readers to ask God to show them where he is working and to participate in spiritual education and service.
The document is a list of biblical verses describing who the speaker is in relation to God. In 3 sentences:
The list begins by saying the speaker is a son of God and loved by God, who sent his Son to atone for the speaker's sins. It continues citing dozens of verses describing that the speaker is chosen, redeemed, healed, and righteous through God and Christ. The list culminates in saying that above all else, the speaker is God's.

February 18 2018 - Sunday Service - LOVE YOURSELFCatherine Lirio
This document discusses what it means to truly love yourself from a biblical perspective. It provides 4 key points:
1) Loving yourself means accepting and enjoying yourself as God's unique creation.
2) It means having healthy self-esteem from your identity in Christ.
3) It involves protecting yourself from harm by being filled with the Holy Spirit.
4) Loving yourself means developing yourself to become great in God's sight for his glory. The overall message is that God wants us to be happy in loving ourselves in a godly rather than worldly way.
In our quest to imitate Jesus Christ, we seek to abide. Our seeking the Lord is to abide in Him and enjoy the blessings of that abode. The life of a seeking is hard, yet rewarding
This document discusses five important concepts for new believers to understand about their faith:
1. That all their sins are forgiven and they have eternal life through Jesus.
2. They have been bought with a price and are no longer their own but belong to God as their Lord.
3. God has a unique plan for their life and wants to guide them through the Holy Spirit.
4. The Holy Spirit alone can reveal God's plan and teach them spiritual truths.
5. The Holy Spirit will train them to recognize and obey His guidance by following Jesus and dying to their old sinful nature.
This document discusses the concept of freedom in Christ from multiple perspectives. It begins by exploring the freedom given to man in Genesis and how man chose to disobey God. It then discusses how righteousness and obedience to God's will leads to life, while disobedience leads to death. Several passages are presented showing how Christ offers deliverance from sin and death and brings true freedom. The document emphasizes that God does not use compulsion in His kingdom, but allows man free will to choose obedience, and that obedience to God may bring persecution from others but true freedom is found only in Christ.
The document provides an overview of the key parts and timeline of the New Testament. It discusses:
- The Gospels which describe Jesus' life, teachings and sacrifice. Acts which describes the transformation of the disciples after Jesus' death. Paul's letters to churches and leaders. Other letters by figures like Peter and John. Revelation which ties up the current and future world.
- Jesus fulfilling the law by living a perfect life and enabling followers to fulfill it through their relationship with him based on acknowledging and reciprocating his love and forgiveness.
- Jesus as the perfect savior, leader, and role model and the perfect future after judgment of victory and glory. However, humans continue to be imperfect but strive for

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
