God dealt with sin for three main reasons: (1) Sin is breaking God's law and His holy nature requires judgment of sin; (2) Sin originates from within humans and damages relationships, separating humans from God; (3) In order to redeem and reconcile humans, God sent his son Jesus to die for sins so that those who believe may be restored to a righteous relationship with God. The document explores how sin affects humans and their relationship with God, and how God addressed sin through Jesus to save people and bring them back to Him.
Jesus is God’s Only Answer. And it is an incredible answer. It is a wondrous, infinite, bottomless, miraculous answer. Jesus is wonderful, and He is yours. He is your altar that gives real life.

“Saved Like Noah" - [Baptism also now saves us … 1 Peter 3:18-22] - Many strive to explain the apostle Peter’s words in the above text in ways that negate that which he affirms. This study is a detailed examination of this text — 1) what is meant by the type / antitype construction of verses 20 and 21? — 2) What does Peter mean when he says, “baptism also now saves us?” — 3) What is the meaning of the parenthetical phrase "(not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God)? - I realize many may disagree with the conclusions we have reached, but I pray that all will prayerfully and sincerely consider this study and accept that which is the truth.

There are many who claim the ability to do miracles today. What does the Bible teach about the validity of such miracles? This lessons examines what is meant by the words sign, wonder and power; and the purpose for such miracles. The conclusion is that miracles are no longer needed today, they have fulfilled their purpose.
In this beautiful presentation you will see from Scripture that Jesus, the begotten Son of the Father has inherited ALL THINGS from His Father. The Fountarian View of God is clearly presented! The Father is the Source/Fountain flowing through His Son the River of Life to the entire universe. Jesus naturally inherited Divinity from His Father but CHOSE to inherit humanity. We naturally inherit humanity from Adam but we must CHOOSE to inherit the Divine Life of Jesus! Beautiful truth!! Life giving truth!
Jesus tells us that His Father has given him authority over all flesh. By examining other statements about authority we learn that Jesus has authority to judge, teach, forgive sins, and His authority is over all.

Isaiah 59:14-20. Based on Sermon: Why Did God Deal with Sin? (Dave Stewart), 2014 January 26
The story of man is the story of sin. In this lesson we will examine sin and why a holy and loving God would deal with sin. For many of us, our first thought is that Jehovah dealt with sin because of His wrath. This seems to be an incomplete answer. Rather as a loving Father he dealt with sin to bring us back into a righteous relationship with Him.
Many of these thoughts were inspired and borrowed from Jim McGuiggan’s book: The Dragon Slayer, chapter 2: The Road leading to Bethlehem and Golgatha.
The Abundant Life: The Life to Come - part 1Dave Stewart
One aspect of the abundant life that Jesus promised concerns the life to come. Knowing that we will be raised, what kind of body will we have in the resurrection? And what does that mean for our lives?
One of the problems that many Christians face is that they are not sure about their relationship with God. John writes to remind us that we can have assurance despite our heart’s misgivings.
Lesson 2 of 2 on the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. This lesson focuses on the Old Testament Evidence that Christ is God, along with the names, attributes, and works of Christ.
God Knows You By Name As An Individual… (Luke 1:15 KJV)
God Loves You!.......................................(John 3:16 KJV)
God will always fulfill His Promise........….(Isaiah 46:9-11)
God protects and Provides for Believers..(Genesis 26:24 KJV)
The Seed You Sow Today, Germinates Someday.. (Job 4:7-8 KJV)
Heaven and Earth Is controlled by God..(Matt. 28:17-18 KJV)
Jesus Christ Is Coming Again!..................(Acts 1:11 KJV)
John warns us that even though we may think we are children of God, we can fall away from the faith. How do we know who a child of the devil is. First they practices sin, second they do not practice righteousness, and finally, they do not love their brother.
John 3:16-36, God Loves The World, Does God Save Everyone, After these things...Valley Bible Fellowship
John Chapter 3:16-36, God’s Great Love; Why did God want to save sinners?; God Wants Everyone Saved; Why Doesn't God Save Everyone?, Universalism; God loves the world; God Is Love; “After these things”; Christ Must Increase In Us; Christ Is Superior; Believe Or Obey; “Has eternal life” is an assurance of salvation
Propitiation for the Sins of the PeopleDave Stewart
Jesus is our propitiation that takes away the sins of the people. In providing for our salvation we see the greatest act of love and the greatest act of obedience. This sermon is background for the next lesson in the series.

1 Peter 3:13-22: As Peter continues to encourage us through our exile, he reminds us that though we my suffer and come to harm, God wants to bless us. So we don’t have to fear or be troubled, we keep Jesus in our hearts as Lord, and we tell others of our hope. The example of Christ reminds us that Jesus suffered also, but was blessed.

1 Peter 2:13-3:12Peter’s exhortation to be subject to government, masters, husbands, wives, and that all of us are thoughtful of others is difficult for most of us, especially when we face suffer because of those who are unjust. Peter reminds us that because of our relationship with God, we must continue to do good, especially by sharing the good news of Jesus with them.

1 Peter 2:21-25: Peter reminds these exiles that they have two wars: their flesh and the unbelievers. So they must learn to abstain from the passions of the flesh, have honorable conduct, do good, live as free people, and endure suffering. In this lesson, we examine the example that Jesus set for us.

1 Peter 1:13 - 2:3: Because we have been ransomed through Jesus and we are anticipating the revelation of Jesus, Peter helps us understand three keys in how we spend our time in exile: 1) preparing your minds for action; 2) being sober-minded; and 3) having your hope set fully on God’s grace. https://youtu.be/QEXw_qG0SfE
1 Peter 1:1-12: Peter gives the elect exiles reasons to praise God, based on his mercy and power. It is an expression of his grace toward us and the glory he has planned for us. So that we love him, believe in him and rejoice in our salvation in him.

1 Corinthians 11:17-34: Paul reminds the brothers and sisters in Corinth that when we come together to worship we must be especially mindful that even in partaking of the supper we may humiliate and despise our siblings. It’s a vital warning for us to be wary of the individualism that exalts myself over brothers and sisters.

Acts 7:20-29: Moses sought to be with his brothers but they rejected him. And he was exiled. Cain refused to care for his brother, and he was alone. But it’s not good for man to be alone. Why do we slip into the thinking of Cain so easily and find ourselves alone? Being brothers is not easy, but let brotherly love continue.
Of all the metaphors for believers, the one most often used in the NT is “adelphos” (siblings, brothers and sisters). After Jesus’ ascension the company who gathered in the upper room consisted of both men and women, and Peter calls all of them brethren. In Acts 15, both Jewish believers and Gentile believers are called brethren.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
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
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
2 Peter 3: Because some scriptures are hard to understand and some will force them to say things God never intended, Peter warns us to take care.
