If one desires to worship God, he must do so according to God's revealed will. Anything else will result in rejection. Let us resolve to worship Him in spirit and truth
The passage discusses true worship of God. It says true worshipers will worship God in spirit and truth, not at a specific location. They have the right knowledge of God, salvation through Jesus, and worship through the Holy Spirit and truth. True worshipers seek God in the way he desires - with sincere hearts rather than empty rituals.
The document discusses why someone should be part of a church community rather than just going to church services. It provides definitions of what constitutes a church and gives both biblical and practical reasons for being part of one. The key reasons are that God commands it in the Bible, churches provide community and opportunities for encouragement and spiritual growth, and Jesus loves and sacrificed for the church.
The Church refers to those who have been called out by God from darkness into His light. It is a spiritual body made up of believers, with Jesus Christ as the cornerstone. The mission of the Church is to preach the gospel to the world, as Jesus was sent by the Father to preach the gospel. When Jesus breathed on the disciples after His resurrection, it was a symbolic passing of the Holy Spirit to them and signified their new birth, just as God breathed life into Adam. The Church was birthed on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon the believers.

The Book Of Ephesians: Because You Are Saints, Live In The KingdomJAMES EUGENE BARBUSH
The Book Of Ephesians
Because You Are Saints, Live In The Kingdom
Paul, an apostle of Christ, speaks several excellent things in this book to the Ephesians. One of the striking things that he says is “Because of His love”.
There are several “because of” statements in this book, which led me to this “Because You Are Saints”. That means to me that “Because we are saints”, we should act in certain ways within The Kingdom of God.
Thus, “Because You Are Saints, Live In The Kingdom”. Because we are saints, things are expected from us such that we can live in the realm of The Kingdom of God, live in the realm of the supernatural.
That is a true blessing. This is only a brief statement about which there is surely an excellent message to be developed. I hope I can do that soon.

Solomon dedicated the newly built temple in Jerusalem to God in a prayer that asked for God's blessings on the royal family, the significance of the temple, the nation's problems, and even foreigners who would come to believe in God. Recent surveys found that the Bible is the most read book in the Philippines, indicating the people's desire to know God. This may reflect why the Philippines has experienced strong economic growth, in contrast to atheistic Japan. The article also discusses how the Philippines honors Takayama Ukon, a 16th century Japanese Christian daimyo who was exiled to the Philippines for his faith and spent his final months devoted to prayer and evangelism.
In 3 sentences:
Jesus told Peter that he would build his church upon the rock of Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. However, the church is actually built upon Christ himself as the cornerstone, not upon any man. The church began on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came and Jesus added the first converts to his kingdom/church, which he continues to build today by adding Christians to it.
The document discusses the biblical characteristics of the church of Christ based on passages from the New Testament. It covers:
1. The church can only be identified by its characteristics as revealed in the NT.
2. The importance of studying the church, as the initial departure from Christianity came from leaders of the church.
3. The general structure of the church is found in passages like Ephesians and Philippians. There is only one body.
4. The church strives to follow Christ's perfect pattern, though people are imperfect.
It then discusses the head of the church being Christ, the authority being the written word of God, apostles being witnesses, prophets, evangelists,
The document discusses the importance of respecting God's silence and not going beyond what is authorized in scripture. It provides examples from the Bible where people suffered consequences for forgetting this "silence principle," such as Uzziah being struck with leprosy after offering incense, which was only permitted for priests. The writer argues that the Hebrews author's case for Jesus being the high priest over a new covenant relies on the silence of the old law on a priest coming from the tribe of Judah rather than Levi. The overall message is that it is dangerous to ignore the implicit boundaries and authorizations contained in God's silence.
This document summarizes a sermon about Lydia's conversion in Acts 16:12-15. The key points are:
1) Paul and others preached to women gathered by the river for prayer, including Lydia from Thyatira.
2) The Lord opened Lydia's heart to pay attention to Paul's preaching. With her open heart, she obeyed the gospel when baptized along with her household.
3) For one to be saved, their heart must be open to hearing the preaching of Christ, which comes through the power of the gospel. Faith requires paying attention to God's word.
1. The document discusses the Table of Showbread located in the Holy Place of the Tabernacle. The Table represents intimacy with God through prayer.
2. It was made of gold-overlaid wood to represent the union of God and man. Fresh bread was placed on it weekly and eaten by priests, symbolizing communion with God.
3. Stillness and focus are key to the prayer represented by the Table, involving listening to God and sharing one's needs, like an intimate dinner conversation.
This document contains multiple Bible verses and passages from 1 Kings 19 discussing Elijah. It describes Elijah fleeing into the wilderness after being threatened by Queen Jezebel, sitting under a juniper tree wishing to die. God then commissions Elijah to anoint new kings of Syria, Israel, and a new prophet, Elisha. Elijah finds Elisha plowing and throws his mantle over him, calling Elisha to follow him and become a prophet.
The document discusses why we worship and the various ways we worship according to the Bible. It states that we worship God because he is our creator and merciful. Some of the ways we worship mentioned in the Bible include praying together aloud, lifting hands in praise, singing with our hearts, playing instruments, clapping, shouting, dancing, testifying, giving offerings, anointing with oil for healing, and allowing spiritual gifts. We are encouraged to worship God continually using praise and thanksgiving. God receives pleasure from our worship and his presence is brought to us, depressions are lifted, and victories are won through worship.
The document discusses the concept of true worship according to a passage from the Bible. It explains that true worshipers will worship God the Father in spirit and in truth. True worship does not depend on physical locations but on internal dispositions of the heart. The document also discusses that true worship requires knowledge of God and seeking Him, not empty rituals or hypocrisy. It aims to explain what kind of worship God truly seeks.
This document discusses the origins and beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses. It was founded in 1870 by Charles Taze Russell and further developed by Joseph Franklin Rutherford in 1917. Some key beliefs discussed are: they deny the deity of Jesus and the Trinity, deny that baptism remits sins, and teach that only 144,000 will go to heaven while others will live forever on earth after Armageddon. The document analyzes how these beliefs contradict biblical teachings.
This document discusses theological topics related to the end times, including:
1. It proposes tentative timeframes for the return of Christ between 2017-2021 or 2021-2028 based on biblical patterns in the feasts of the Lord and 7-year cycles.
2. It addresses preliminary issues like prophetic imagination, the Sabbath versus Sunday, and warns against definite date setting.
3. For young people, it encourages sanctification, intimacy with God, developing bridal qualities, and helping to spiritually transform their region before Christ's return.
The overall document provides a framework for understanding the end times based on biblical patterns, while avoiding definite dates and emphasizing continued preparation.

1) Jesus showed care for his mother by entrusting her to the disciple whom he loved before dying on the cross.
2) God decided before creation to adopt believers into his family through Jesus Christ.

The document discusses the importance of mending nets based on biblical passages. It describes how Jesus called Simon Peter and Andrew to be "fishers of men" while they were mending their nets. It then examines Greek words used in the New Testament around mending, knitting together, and perfecting or restoring individuals and the church. The key idea is that divisions within the church must be repaired for evangelism to be effective, just as mending nets is necessary for successful fishing.
The document discusses the nature and establishment of the kingdom of God. It notes that the kingdom was promised in the Old Testament prophets but described as near during the time of Jesus and his disciples. Several passages from Acts onward present the kingdom as having been established through Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascension. Believers are said to have been translated into the kingdom and can partake of its blessings and inheritance. The keys of the kingdom were given to the disciples to open the door through preaching the gospel. One must be born again by the Spirit to enter God's kingdom.
The document discusses how the 10 plagues that God brought upon Egypt during the time of Moses foreshadowed the death and salvation provided by Jesus Christ. It notes similarities between the Passover lamb whose blood saved the Israelites and spared them God's judgment, and Jesus who is described as the Lamb of God who was sacrificed to save humanity and deliver us from sin and death. Key events of the Passover and crucifixion are compared to show how the Old Testament feast and killing of the lamb prefigured Jesus' redemptive work on the cross.
God cares about how we dress and wants us to dress modestly:
1) After Adam and Eve sinned, they realized they were naked and felt shame, showing God wants us to cover our bodies.
2) While fig leaves covered Adam and Eve's nakedness, God provided better clothing to fully cover them, showing some clothing isn't adequate.
3) God wants us to dress modestly to avoid arousing lustful desires, as revealing clothing can invite lust and potentially lead to sin like adultery or fornication.

Business ethics involves defining and establishing moral standards to guide proper business conduct and assess what behaviors are moral or immoral. It examines how general ethical principles can be applied to business decisions and actions.

The document discusses biblical worship and what it means to worship God in spirit and in truth. It explains that true worshipers worship God as Father through Jesus' sacrifice, in any location, focusing on the inner heart. Worshipping in spirit means with full devotion of heart, mind and soul, while worshipping in truth means according to God's character as revealed through Scripture and the Holy Spirit. The document warns against idol worship, as idols are lifeless and dishonor God, while worship should be directed only to the living God.
The document discusses the importance of serving God and others. It emphasizes that true love for God is shown through service, not just words. Christians are called not to be consumers but contributors, using their gifts to build up the church and shine their light in the world. All believers have a role to play and are vital parts of God's kingdom, so they should seek first His purposes by serving wherever He leads them.
Worship is defined as the recognition, reverence, communion with, and response to God. True worship involves worshipping God with one's whole heart and in accordance with His word. Worshipping God transforms us and draws us closer to His presence, empowering us to rule and reign with Him. Worship, especially in difficult times, is a choice that focuses on God's unchanging character rather than one's circumstances.

WCF Chapter 21 - Religious Worship and the Sabbath Daysandiferb
This document provides an overview of the theology of religious worship and the Sabbath day according to the Westminster Confession. It discusses that worship should only be given to God as he has prescribed in scripture. It outlines the proper elements of worship including prayer, singing, scripture reading, and the sacraments. It also discusses that while places of worship were important in the Old Testament, under the New Covenant worship can occur anywhere as long as it is done in spirit and in truth. Finally, it affirms that the Sabbath is still binding for Christians, though the day of observance has changed from Saturday to Sunday.
The document discusses the biblical story of God commanding Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac on Mount Moriah. It provides four verses from Genesis 22 that describe how Abraham rose early, saddled his donkey, took two servants and Isaac to the mountain where God told him to go, and told the servants he and Isaac would worship and return. The document then presents an outline for a sermon on this story with three points: 1) Trust in the Lord with all your heart as Abraham trusted God; 2) Obey the Lord as Abraham obeyed God's command; and 3) Present your body as a living sacrifice to God as Abraham was willing to sacrifice Isaac.
The document discusses the biblical story of God commanding Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac on one of the mountains that God would show him. It recounts that Abraham rose early, saddled his donkey, took two young men and Isaac with him, gathered wood for the burnt offering, and went to the place God told him about. On the third day, Abraham saw the place in the distance. He told the young men to wait with the donkey while he and Isaac went to worship. The document then discusses trusting in the Lord, obeying the Lord's commands, and sacrificing to the Lord.
There are five kinds of deadly sins. Doing what is forbidden of God. Neglecting to do what is commanded. Adding to God's Word. Taking from God's Word. Substituting something else for what God has commanded.
The document discusses knowing God intimately and pursuing Him. It states that knowing God intimately means knowing who He is, His heart, His ways, and His power. The document provides reasons to know God intimately, including gaining strength and fruitfulness. It explains that to know God intimately one must pursue Him passionately, wholeheartedly, intently, earnestly, sacrificially, and expectantly. Scriptures are referenced throughout to support pursuing and knowing God intimately.
The document provides an overview of biblical passages about the priesthood in Leviticus 9-10. It discusses how God chose Aaron and his sons to serve as priests, their responsibilities, and the first sacrifices they performed. It also summarizes the story of Nadab and Abihu being killed for improperly offering "strange fire." The document concludes with discussing the concept of a "biblical theology of worship," including that worship must be in spirit and truth, involve the heart, and result in obedience to God.
"May the Lord Jesus put his hands on our eyes also, for then we too shall begin to look not at what is seen but at what is not seen. May he open the eyes that are concerned not with the present but with what is yet to come, may he unseal the heart's vision, that we may gaze on God in the Spirit, through the same Lord, Jesus Christ, whose glory and power will endure throughout the unending succession of ages." (prayer of Origin, 185-254 AD)

The document provides readings and commentary for an upcoming Sunday mass focused on love and God's impartiality.
The first reading from Acts describes Peter visiting Cornelius, a Gentile. It affirms that God shows no partiality and salvation is for all who fear God. The reading shows the Holy Spirit falling upon Gentiles, surprising the Jewish believers.
The Psalm encourages singing praise to God, who has revealed his saving power to all nations.
The passage from 1 John emphasizes that love comes from God, and he revealed his love by sending his Son so we may have life. Absence of love indicates not knowing God, for God is love.
The Gospel from John has Jesus commanding his disciples to

Nadab and Abihu, sons of Aaron the priest, offered unauthorized fire before the Lord in the burning of incense. As a result, fire came out from the Lord and consumed them, killing them. Moses then told Aaron that God had said "Among those who are near me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified." The document discusses how God punishes disobedience immediately and will punish at the final judgment. It emphasizes the importance of worshipping in a way authorized by God and sanctifying oneself to glorify God.
The document discusses Pentecost and the experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit. It encourages the reader to ask God to fill them with the Holy Spirit, and expect something extraordinary to happen at church on Sunday. It then provides various representations of the Holy Spirit from the Bible, such as a cloud, clothing, anointing oil, a dove, wind, fire, water, and a seal. Finally, it discusses the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in 1 Corinthians and invites the reader to a meeting to pray for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, healing, and anointing with oil.
Keys to living the supernatural life in christRodney Nocks
Rodney James Nocks Jr. provides 16 keys to living a supernatural lifestyle in Christ. The keys include: becoming more spiritual through prayer, God's presence, and reading Scripture; keeping God's commandments; being conscious of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit's presence; humility; developing a relationship with God through prayer, Scripture study, and fasting; being led and obeying the Holy Spirit; acknowledging God's power; and walking in faith. Practicing these keys allows believers to access God's supernatural empowerment and live empowered lives.

Want to have a good marriage? Choose the right person. Probably just as important is to be the right person. How do you determine what it means to be the right person?
Look at the teaching of Jesus on the beatitudes. Matthew 5:3-11. By examining the characteristics outlined here for the citizen in the kingdom of heaven one can put together an image of what is needed in marriage.
Shadows in the Tabernacle - the priesthood old and newAlan Williamson
Hebrews 9:8-11 the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing; 9 which is a figure for the time present; according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the conscience, make the worshipper perfect, 10 being only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation. 11 But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
1. As living stones, Christians are built up as a spiritual house to serve as a holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices to God through Jesus Christ.
2. The tabernacle represents Christians entering God's presence through faith in Jesus' sacrifice and baptism, allowing them to continually serve God in the true tabernacle of heaven.
3. As priests, Christians are called to holy living and service before God, avoiding sin and division, and offering sacrifices of praise, good works, and living holy lives in God's presence.
This document examines the anatomy of the church body using scriptural references. It discusses how Christians are connected as members of Christ's body and should work together in unity. It also addresses potential health issues like false teachings, pride and discontent that can negatively impact the church if not properly addressed through truthful and loving rebuke as needed to maintain spiritual health and unity.
What are you? Who are you? Maybe it is time for a little introspectionAlan Williamson
How do you identify yourself? By what you do or who you know? By relationships?
All these things can change. Who are you... really?
Let's take a look inside
Does the Bible really teach that Christians today should be handling snakes as an expression of their faith in Jesus? This presentation will examine the practice of snake handling today with the teaching of scripture.
Be assured that the Bible does indeed that there were some (the apostles) who would handle serpents, even be bitten by them (ex. Paul, the apostle) and they would NOT be hurt. The fact that modern serpent handlers are often bitten and sometimes die from their bites should be a clear indication of something. Think about it.
This document discusses the importance of having a faith that works through being nourished by the word of God. It notes that there are Christians whose faith works like a well-running watch and those whose faith is broken. To have a real faith that leads to salvation, one must obtain it through hearing the word of God. The document encourages Christians to consider what they are "letting into" their hearts and to devote time to studying Scripture, as the word of God is their protection against spiritual dangers and will be expressed outwardly in their words and actions if it is truly within them.
Some are confused about the church that Jesus loves, the religion that God approves. Here is a brief essay pointing out how by not being careful with our words, we can say things we may not "really" believe.
After all, words mean things
1) The essay argues that Christmas and other religious holidays like Easter were not appointed by God and have pagan or secular origins rather than biblical foundations.
2) It uses the analogy of inventing a religious holiday called "WalkWaterMass" to commemorate Jesus walking on water to illustrate how absurd it would be to create religious celebrations without God's authorization.
3) While acknowledging people find enjoyment and meaning in holiday traditions, the author believes Christians should only observe religious days appointed by God and not embrace celebrations rooted in paganism or human invention.
The document discusses how Jesus opened the minds of two disciples so they could understand how the Old Testament scriptures referred to him. It provides several examples of people, places, things and events from the Old Testament that served as types and shadows pointing to Jesus as the fulfillment. The key idea is that Jesus helped his disciples see how all of scripture spoke of his suffering, death and resurrection.
The document discusses the early Christian debate around whether Gentile believers needed to follow the Law of Moses. Some Jewish Christians thought Gentiles must be circumcised and follow Mosaic law to be saved. At a church council, the apostles declared Gentiles were not obligated to follow the Law, only to abstain from idolatry, sexual immorality, eating meat sacrificed to idols, and consuming blood. The document also examines whether Christians must follow other Old Testament commands like the Sabbath. It concludes the Sabbath and Mosaic law were commands specifically for Israel, and Christians are not obligated to observe them.
The document discusses whether Christians are obligated to keep all the commandments of God mentioned in the Bible. It notes there is confusion among some believers who cannot distinguish between the Old and New Laws. The document examines how this issue affected the early church and was resolved in Acts 15, where it was determined Gentile Christians did not need to follow the Law of Moses or be circumcised. It argues context is key to determining which commandments still apply today. The document also discusses whether Christians must keep the Sabbath or Ten Commandments.
The document discusses the Gospel of Christ according to Galatians 4, noting that God sent his Son Jesus to redeem those under the law. It provides context on Judaism as the religion of those who follow the Law of Moses, while Christianity began with Jesus and a new law for all nations. Paul's gospel did not include Old Testament regulations, relying solely on Christ's teachings.
The document discusses how God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, at the fulness of time according to prophecy, when all things written about him in the law, prophets and psalms had been fulfilled. It examines scriptures showing how Jesus came during the Roman empire as foretold, fulfilling the timing of God's plan. The Galatian churches faced false teachers who did not understand that the old Mosaic law covenant had been replaced by the new covenant through Christ.
The Apocalypse - an overview of the book of Revelation Alan Williamson
The document provides an overview of key elements in the book of Revelation:
- John is told to write down what he sees and send it to 7 churches in Asia Minor
- Jesus appears and instructs John to write what he has seen, what is happening presently, and what will happen in the future
- John is shown visions of future events including seals being opened, trumpets sounding, and bowls of God's wrath being poured out
- These visions reveal events that will come to pass and the eventual establishment of God's kingdom on Earth
What does it mean to become a Christian? Why should I believe in Jesus? How can I know if I have died with Christ?
This short presentation of the gospel explains what it means to die to sin... and to live in Christ
Maintaining a pure heart requires forgiveness of sins through obedience to God, and an ongoing process of transformation by renewing one's mind to God's teachings. It involves turning away from sinful influences, submitting to God's work within us, and sacrificing oneself while focusing on virtues. God purifies the heart as we allow Him to mold us into the likeness of Christ through His grace.

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
