The conclusion reflects on how Jesus' victory was achieved through apparent weakness and how the story brings both universal and personal meaning.
The document discusses two types of rest: the rest of Joshua and the Sabbath rest of Hebrews 4.
[1] The rest of Joshua lasted only one generation as the Israelites were unable to fully drive out the Canaanite people from the land due to their iron chariots.

What Good Will It Be For Someone To Gain The Whole World Yet Forfeit Their SoulAdrian Kerr
The document discusses Jesus' temptation in the desert and his instruction to his disciples to deny themselves, take up their crosses, and follow him. It contrasts Jesus humbling himself and enduring the cross to gain salvation for humanity with gaining worldly power and authority but forfeiting one's soul. Several passages emphasize that without love, even great gifts and sacrifices are worthless. The overall message is about humbling oneself before God and prioritizing spiritual salvation over earthly gains.
The document discusses what Jesus' resurrection proves, including that the Old Testament is the word of God, Jesus is God and Lord, God is satisfied, believers will be raised to eternal joy, Jesus will return and judge the world. It argues that all people must repent, accept Jesus as their savior by faith in his death and resurrection to save them from sin, and then serve him.

Redefining Faithfulness, Pastor Rick Paladinwordandworship
The document summarizes key passages from 1 Kings and Matthew about faithfulness. It discusses how David charged Solomon to be faithful to God's commands before he died. It also references passages about being faithful with responsibilities and rewards. The document then summarizes parts of Acts that show how the early church redefined faithfulness by overcoming obstacles, allowing Gentiles in, resolving disputes, and planting churches across the world. It stresses that growth requires increasing productivity for God's kingdom, not just adding volume. The summary encourages redefining faithfulness by having a clear why, what, and how.
God comforts believers in their troubles so they can comfort others. When times of trouble come, Jesus will not abandon believers and will get them through. Though the physical body wears away, the inner person is being renewed daily. Believers should boast in their weaknesses, for it is through weaknesses that Christ's power is made perfect.
This document summarizes key lessons from the biblical story of the widow with oil from 2 Kings 4:1-7. It discusses five lessons: 1) God can work with what little we have; 2) Little can become much when blessed by God; 3) Faith and works go hand in hand, as seen when the widow obeyed Elisha; 4) Pay debts and live within your means; 5) Share blessings to be a miracle for others, as the widow's oil multiplied. The overall message is that God can provide breakthrough when we are facing difficulties and dead ends, through increasing our faith and obedience.
This passage from the Bible describes a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years and suffered greatly. Despite spending all her money on doctors, her condition only worsened. She heard about Jesus and his ability to heal people. When she touched his cloak in the crowd, her bleeding stopped immediately. Jesus asked who touched him, as he felt power leave him. The woman admitted what she did out of faith that touching him would heal her. Jesus said her faith had healed her and told her to go in peace. The story illustrates that reaching out to Jesus in faith can bring healing, freedom from suffering, peace with God, and rest.

Life is sometimes filled with great doubts.

The document discusses how Jesus is greater than many people and things in the Bible such as Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, and angels. It also says Jesus is greater than difficulties, problems, and challenges people face such as dismay, distraction, disappointment, delinquency, dim-wittedness, morality, performance, pedigree, prophets, fear, current events, war, famine, hurts, habits, hang-ups, and hearts.

It tells the stories of David allowing his emotions to lead him to commit adultery, Ananias and Sapphira holding back donations for personal gain, Felix delaying an important decision, and Agrippa almost becoming a Christian but failing to fully commit. The overall message is that good intentions are not enough and can still result in negative consequences if not followed through with right action and commitment.

The document discusses enhancing communication by making the sharing of information, whether verbal or nonverbal, more productive and beneficial to one's spiritual family. It identifies four areas of communication to focus on: with God, family, church family, and those outside the church. Scripture passages are cited showing the importance of communication, and questions are posed about improving communication in each of the four areas. The document encourages the reader to begin enhancing their communication.
This document discusses discovering your role through realizing, optimizing, lending, and executing your abilities (R.O.L.E.). It encourages readers to realize they each have different abilities from passages like Romans and Ephesians. It suggests optimizing your abilities by focusing on what you do best. Additionally, it advises lending your abilities by finding ways to use them in ministry, like Barnabas and Lydia did. Finally, the document stresses the importance of executing your role by taking action with your abilities, as referenced in 1 Peter.
This document provides guidance on enhancing family communication. It discusses defining communication and considering all family members, including singles, parents, couples, children and grandparents. It also examines biblical passages about God and family, then outlines a 4-step process for families: 1) decide what is important to discuss, 2) set a good example, 3) involve children, and 4) live for God through commitment and guidance from God's word. The overall goal is to make sharing information more productive and beneficial for strengthening family spirituality.
The document discusses enhancing communication with God. It states that communication with God affects choices, family, congregation, and others. It provides statistics on prayer from a poll and suggests preparing time with God, requesting from God with faith, attributing goodness to God, and yielding to God's choices to improve communication. It also notes that God has communicated through his words, son, provision of salvation, and the Bible.
This document discusses the importance of enhancing communication within congregations by keeping open hearts. It emphasizes beginning with self-love as described in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, then extending that love to others by not being rude, seeking others' well-being over your own, and avoiding provocation.

Interspersed throughout are biblical references and questions for reflection related to each tip.
The document discusses how Jesus would respond to modern problems like the economy, war, greed, and power based on his responses to problems during his own time.

Finally, it states that seeking God requires work through thirst, hope, prayer, and action.
Martha was so busy with her daily tasks that she almost missed a visit from Jesus, just as Thomas and the rich young ruler each doubted Jesus due to their preoccupations. The document warns that saying "I have to..." or "I don't have time..." are dangerous phrases that could cause someone to miss Jesus, and it lists work, school, hobbies, family, church, and other things as potential distractions that may prevent one from fully experiencing Jesus if allowed to consume all of one's time and attention.
Removing ourselves from what we want and what we have can bring us to a humbled life with more dependance on our Lord as we discipline ourselves.

The document provides advice for making marriages better through commitment to God, commitment to each other, understanding differences between partners, forgiveness, and resolving conflicts respectfully. It cites several studies showing that marrying within the church leads to higher rates of remaining faithful to the church and relationship. The key aspects of strong marriages highlighted are commitment, understanding, and forgiveness.
The document discusses six steps to spiritual restoration. It explains that even spiritual leaders like David needed restoration. Restoration is repairing or renewing something to its original state. Sin separates people from God. People become infected with sin when they disobey God's guidelines or forget them. The cure for sin is Jesus, who died for sins and cleansed people through obedience. Knowledge of the cure is useless without taking action by going to Jesus for healing. The first step is recognizing the need for spiritual restoration.
The document outlines six steps to spiritual restoration: 1) See the need for restoration, 2) Seek God, and 3) Forgiveness. It discusses how Christ's blood sacrifice provides forgiveness for sins, referencing Bible passages about the first blood shed, sacrifices requiring blood, and Christ as the perfect lamb. It notes one must be in Christ through baptism and faith to access this forgiveness.
With so many factors having an influence on every decision, it will definitely have an effect on our spiritual lives. I want to examine the life of Elijah and his battle with the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18. Give it a look and let me know what you think.
This is the second lesson in a series I have on "Back to the Basics." Every Christian needs to return to the basics from time to time to strengthen their foundation.
This document discusses the fundamentals of Christianity and who Jesus Christ is. It defines Jesus as the meeting place of eternity and time, with both deity and humanity. The document explains that Jesus' words and actions were life-changing, as he touched the untouchable and talked to the friendless. It states that Jesus was our sin offering, Passover lamb, and that he purchased us with his blood and made us alive through reconciliation with God. Finally, it argues that we need Jesus because he is the way, truth, and life and the only way to heaven.
The document discusses returning to the fundamentals and foundations of Christianity by examining what the basics are according to the Bible. It explores what the basics are regarding God, the Bible, belief, faith, baptism, and worship. It encourages standing firm in faith, believing the truth, returning to the truth, establishing values, praying, and reaching out to others as actions one should take regarding the basic teachings of Christianity.

The document provides guidance on how to become a person of prayer. It begins with Jesus' model prayer from the book of Matthew. It then defines prayer as communication with God where one requests things from God, praises God, and addresses God. It encourages meditating on God and prioritizing his word. It advises talking to God daily by sharing problems, thanks, and sins. It suggests connecting with God, daring to pray like Daniel, and praying thankfully, in difficult times, and encouraging others, as Paul did.
This lesson was presented at the Gadsden Church of Christ on March 15th to share the need to reach out to the world. Mathew 14:22-32 as the text. As Jesus reached out to a sinking Peter, we need to reach out to a troubled world.

It notes that Elijah stepped up to the challenge from men against God. Finally, it encourages standing fast in principles, getting in God's word, and removing weights and sin.
This lesson is based on the Armor of God spoekn by Paul in Ephesians 6:10-17. The importance is understanding the armor is not loaned, but owned. It must be put on before the battle rages on.
God's definition of good is conformity to his will in order to live with him eternally. Several verses in Romans chapter 8 qualify this, explaining that through the Holy Spirit, believers can realize God's goodness and strengthen their relationship with him. Specifically, the Spirit helps believers, intercedes for them, and those in Christ have God on their side. To experience God's goodness, one should be in Christ, focus their mind on spiritual things, communicate with God in prayer, and live according to his purpose.
This lesson was presented on February 15, 2015 as part of a series on Love. This specifically discusses the situation of the man who fell among robbers and asks the question if we are too busy in our world.

Each habit is accompanied by a brief explanation and biblical references. The habits are presented as effective strategies for Christians to have spiritual conversations based on Jesus' example in John 4.

Planning for a coming year is an important part to success, be an important part of spiritual success as well. The greater question of planning is, "Who will you take with you?"
This document discusses the importance and meaning of work. It provides biblical quotes about work being part of God's plan and how man was created to work. Additional quotes emphasize that work should be done wholeheartedly as for God, that labor deserves wages, and that those unwilling to work should not eat. The document suggests reflecting on what you will do when your work is done and questions about when you will retire or spiritually retire.
David gave his son Solomon final words of advice, challenging him to act responsibly, walk with God, and obey David's commands. A father shows love through discipline, and David disciplined Solomon out of love, just as the Scriptures instruct fathers to admonish their children using spiritual wisdom and knowledge to warn them against foolishness and temptation.
This lesson is the first lesson in the Men's Retreat. The lesson is designed to begin a discussion on setting goals and reaching for the future by changing our current outlook.

God can see what we cannot see

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
