Matthew 7:24-27 Sermon Slides | "Listen the LORD, the Wise Foundation"Danny Scotton, Jr.
Ever have to ask someone, "Did you hear what I just said?" Often, we know that they heard us, but they're acting as if they didn't.
There's a difference between hearing and listening. Hearing means audibly perceiving something with one's ear. Listening means responding to what was heard with appropriate action.
In light of all that He has said previously, at the end of the Sermon of the Mount, Jesus makes it clear that it is necessary not to just hear His words, but to do them.
For there are essentially two ways to live upon hearing Christ's words. The wise both hear and do -- metaphorically building their house on the rock. The foolish hear but don't -- metaphorically building their house on sand.
Those who listen to Christ can stand when the storms come; those who don't can't stand the rain.
Will we listen to the LORD? Did we hear what Jesus just said?

The document discusses prosperity and provision from God. It states that according to Deuteronomy 30:9, God will make people abundantly prosperous in their work, families, livestock, and land. It then lists different areas of life where one can be prosperous, including wisdom, knowledge, business, health, work, resources, and land. It references Philippians 4:19 that God will supply all needs from his riches. Proverbs 10:22 says God's blessing brings riches without sorrow. Jeremiah 17:7-8 likens the prosperous to trees by a river that are not worried by drought and always bear fruit.
Do you remember when you made the lifelong commitment to follow Christ? Kelly Campbell takes us back to that time in our lives as he concludes his "Back to our roots" sermon series.
God created humans in His own image and likeness. While experiences, society, and science can influence how we see ourselves, who we truly are is defined by God - we are His children, forgiven, redeemed, and created with purpose. As God's masterpiece, each person is uniquely talented, fearfully and wonderfully made, and destined not for defeat but to be more than a conqueror through Christ.
This document discusses how marriage was designed by God according to the Bible. It summarizes that God created marriage and intended for a man and woman to become "one flesh" (Genesis 2). It also notes how Jesus affirmed God's design of marriage and that marriage is meant to display the covenant relationship between Christ and the church. The ultimate purpose of marriage, according to the document, is to glorify God and represent His eternal commitment to His people.
This document contains passages from the Bible about Jesus teaching that true life and salvation come from giving to others rather than accumulating wealth. It discusses Jesus telling a rich man it would be difficult for him to enter heaven unless he gave away his possessions to the poor. Jesus says it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to be saved. The document emphasizes that life is about serving others rather than oneself and calls the reader to consider how they can use their time and resources to serve God and their neighbor.
God created humanity in His image and gave them moral obligations to obey His laws and care for creation. He enacted these laws for Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and later wrote them on stone tablets. As their Creator, God is entitled to establish moral rules for humanity and hold them responsible for obeying or disobeying these laws. All people are equal in God's sight regardless of differences. Christians should reflect God's love for all people by showing kindness to neighbors of all backgrounds.
This document contains summaries of key passages from Genesis related to Abraham's calling and faith journey. The passages discuss Abraham being called by God to leave his home and go to a new land, trusting God by faith as God promised to give him land and many descendants, rejoicing with his wife Sarah over the birth of their son Isaac in their old age in fulfillment of God's promise, and obeying God by being willing to sacrifice Isaac before God stayed his hand.

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 is the responsibility of each Christian to share their faith with whomever they can. This is the mission of the Christian. And it is not an impossible one.

4th message in a series entitled, "Stories to be Shaped by," based on the parables of Jesus Christ.
0514 ephesians 210 christ jesus to do good power point church sermonPowerPoint_Sermons
This document discusses Ephesians 2:10 from the Bible. The verse explains that believers are God's creation, made in Christ Jesus to do good works. God planned these good works in advance for believers to do, so that they may walk in righteousness. Believers are God's handiwork or workmanship, created to live lives of good works which were prepared by God beforehand for them to accomplish.
This week we'll dive into one of the greatest biblical promises made to Christians. Romans 8:28 promises that God will work things together for “good.” What does this mean? What is OUR good? It should be surprising that God may define “good” a little differently than we do.
The document discusses key aspects of the gospel message according to scripture:
1) Salvation comes through grace alone, not works, and believers are created for good works.
2) The gospel's foundation is God's love for all people, shown through sending Jesus. Accepting the gospel leads to love and compassion for others.
3) While the gospel offers salvation freely, accepting it naturally leads to changes in thoughts and actions as believers reflect God's love for others through good works.
4) The inclusive gospel is meant for all people regardless of background, as all have sinned and are made one in Christ.
The document discusses the Christian mission of spreading the gospel. It references several Bible verses explaining that Jesus built the church to carry his light to the world and commissioned believers to go teach all nations. The passages teach that believers are saved by grace to serve God by winning souls and discipling others, and that through Christ, Christians can be conquerors. The overall message is that Christians should work to spread the teachings of Jesus to others.
This document discusses two innate human longings: the longing to be beautiful and the longing to be great. It argues that while God created humans with these desires, many pursue beauty and greatness in illegitimate ways. However, God meets these longings through His salvation and by giving believers positions of authority and rulership with Jesus.
This document discusses the importance and results of strong faith, prayer, speaking, and obedience. It states that strength comes from belief and that how one prays reflects the size of their faith in God. It also notes that strong speaking reflects deep beliefs and that the apostles' bold obedience led to signs, wonders, and more people being saved. Their obedience despite opposition released God's miracles and always required faith. The document concludes that obeying God's commands results in blessings, prosperity, being set above other nations, and not lacking any good thing.
1. Obedience to God results in opposition but also releases God's miracles and blessings. When the apostles obeyed God by continuing to preach, they were imprisoned but an angel freed them.
2. True strength comes from obedience to God rather than men. The apostles were willing to obey God over human authorities.
3. To be strong in obedience requires knowing Christ, having faith, and obeying God completely and immediately despite any challenges or tests of obedience.
- Health and salvation are gifts from God that must be nurtured corporately within church families, rather than as individual endeavors, in order to preserve and protect them.
- Like Abraham receiving God's promise, health and salvation are given so that we may bless the world. We must live them out together.
- Jesus was the ultimate example of selflessly laboring for human salvation. His benevolence and sacrifice far surpass any human efforts.
- Neglecting health through lustful appetites enslaves people and clouds their understanding of God's word. Christians must prepare for Christ's return by conforming their lives to Scripture.
- Revival involves renewing spiritual life and resurrecting from spiritual

The document discusses the meaning of life, sin, and salvation through Jesus Christ. It notes that the average young person is career-focused, media-obsessed, and materialistic. It questions whether life holds only frustrations, failures, and disappointments. It explains that all humans are born sinful due to Adam's sin, and discusses the consequences of sin like being enemies of God. Finally, it presents Jesus as the sinless savior who died for humanity's sins and was resurrected, so that those who believe in him can be saved, forgiven, and granted eternal life.

The document discusses the canonization of Scripture, specifically the New Testament canon. It provides background on how the NT canon developed from the time of the apostles through the 4th century AD. Key points include:
1) The NT books were recognized as authoritative by the apostles and early Christians based on their connection to the apostles' teaching.
2) By the 2nd century AD, many church fathers referenced and quoted from most NT books as Scripture.
3) In the 4th century, church councils at Hippo and Carthage formally recognized the 27 books of the current NT canon.
4) The early church used criteria like apostolic authorship, agreement with established doctrine, and
The document discusses the biblical concept of covenants between God and mankind. It explains that God sets the terms of salvation through the covenant of grace, whereby he credits Christ's righteousness to believers. The condition of this covenant is faith. The document also discusses the importance of corporate worship according to God's design, noting that worship should be God-centered, directed by Scripture alone, and not according to human imagination.

One night, the narrator dreamed of walking on the beach with the Lord and seeing scenes from their life flash in the sky, sometimes with two sets of footprints and other times with just one.

A young man wanted an expensive sports car as a graduation gift from his wealthy father. On graduation day, his father instead gave him a leather-bound Bible, which angered the son. Many years later, after the father had passed away, the son found a car key taped inside the Bible from the day of his graduation with the words "paid in full" written on the tag, realizing his father had already bought him the car he wanted. The story suggests people sometimes miss God's blessings when they are not presented in the packaging expected.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

5.3. Mandukya Upanishad
The Mandukya Upanishad (the four states of consciousness)
The Mandukya Upanishad belongs to the Atharvaveda. Although it contains only 12 verses.
This Upanishad became the basis for the emergence of the Advaita Vedanta or the philosophy of monism, according to which Brahman alone is the truth and the rest is an illusion.
The Upanishad deals with the symbolic significance of the sacred syllable Aum and its correlation with the four states of consciousness, namely the wakeful consciousness, dream state, the state of deep sleep or dreamless sleep and the state of transcendental consciousness in which all divisions and duality disappears and the self alone exists in its pure state, all by itself.
1. Wakefulness—Jagrat (Vaisvanara is the first stage - A) Consciousness
In this state, atman (the Supreme Self) is mainly mis-identified with annamaya kosha (the “sheath composed of food”—the physical body).
Thus, the jiva (soul) travels in objectivity and becomes an object itself, mostly ignoring its subjective consciousness.
3. WORK:

from all of His work.”
- Genesis 2:2 (NIV)
4. WORK:
“The Lord God took the man and
put him in the Garden of Eden to

chase fantasies will have their fill
of poverty.”
- Proverbs 28:19 (NIV)
8. WORK:
“…We were not idle when we were
with you, nor did we eat anyone’s
food without paying for it…”
- 2 Thessalonians 3:7-8 (NIV)
9. WORK:
“…On the contrary, we worked night
and day, laboring and toiling so that
we would not be a burden
to any of you.”
- 2 Thessalonians 3:7-8 (NIV)
10. WORK:
God’s Plan …
• God’s plan from the beginning…
• God’s plan for our provision…
• God’s plan to bless others…
11. WORK:
“Anyone who has been stealing
must steal no longer, but must
work, doing something useful with
their own hands…”
- Ephesians 4:28 (NIV)
12. WORK:
“…that they may have something to
share with those in need.”
- Ephesians 4:28 (NIV)
13. WORK:
“In everything I did, I showed you
that by this kind of hard work we
must help the weak…”
- Acts 20:35 (NIV)
14. WORK:
“…remembering the words the Lord
Jesus himself said: ‘It is more
blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
- Acts 20:35 (NIV)
15. WORK:

receive an inheritance from the
Lord as a reward. It is the Lord
Christ you are serving.”
- Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)
