This document is an invitation to a seminar on practical evangelism from October 15-17, 2010 led by Edwin Jones. The seminar will focus on commitment to religion and letting God's will be done in one's life. To accept God's will requires obedience to his commands, acceptance of his providence, and accepting God's purpose for one's life. The overall message is that if one's religion is worth dying for, it is also worth living for.

Preaching on Nothing
A sermon on "Nothing." The Bible does say much about "nothing" if you take time to search. It is an interesting study.
I have also included the afternoone Bible study discussion questions.
Abiding in christ and he in us john
Jesus uses the analogy of a grapevine to illustrate the close relationship between himself and his disciples, where he is the vine and they are the branches, and they must abide or dwell in one another. To abide in Christ means he continually purifies us, gives us the ability to bear fruit, answers our prayers according to his will, and we abide in him by letting his word dwell in us through obedience. If we do not abide in him by bearing fruit, we will be cut off as fruitless branches and be lost.
A beautiful exchange
Jesus prophesied about his coming death and calls followers to be servant leaders by fulfilling God's will rather than pursuing self-promotion. His death made possible an exchange where believers can have new life and purpose focused on serving God and others rather than themselves.
Series jesus - part 5 - a pattern for living - 03-22-15 - outline
This is Part 5 of Pastor Chuck Bernal’s message series, “JESUS – WHO HE IS – WHAT HE DID – WHY HE CAME”. This fifth message is titled, “Jesus: A Pattern For Living” and focuses on the importance of following Christ’s example in living our lives. The message discusses four character qualities found in the life of Jesus that each of us should emulate.
Salt
This document discusses Jesus' teachings that Christians are called to be "the salt of the earth" and "the light of the world". It provides five ways that Christians should function as salt in society: as a preservative against moral decay, to add flavor and meaning to the world, to be pure examples, to promote growth of good, and to cause spiritual thirst for Jesus. It also notes that Christians should shine their light through good deeds so others glorify God, and should not hide their light but openly live faithfully.
Nooma A Spiritual Temple
The Holy Spirit comes to live inside every believer at salvation. We have the Spirit on-board. That regular and continuous presence makes a difference in the way that we conduct ourselves. We are created and re-created to worship God with our bodies.

EXPONENTIAL 1 - SEED OF FAITH - PTR. ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICEFaithworks Christian Church
Jesus loves humanity and gave up his life as the ultimate seed so that others may have life. The principles of exponential sowing and reaping involve sowing seeds through one's life and actions and giving exponentially to God while going through the process patiently to see those seeds multiplied. One should use their God-given abilities to affect others and be an altar for God.Falling through the cracks
The document discusses how even in the early church under outstanding leadership, some people fell through the cracks, which caused discord. It references Bible verses about not murmuring.

When it comes to becoming more like Christ this is something that we should want and that
we should desire

and will not be able to become more like Christ.

Class 11 ppt
This document provides guidance on properly interpreting and understanding Scripture through three "dials":
1. Coming with humility and allowing Scripture to shape us rather than our own preconceptions.
2. Understanding the historical and literary context of the time as well as the author's intended meaning.
3. Studying theology, particularly the character of God as described in the Bible - including attributes such as love, wrath, mercy, etc. - and ensuring our understanding aligns with the God portrayed in Scripture.
How to become a christian
To become a Christian, one must:
1. Admit that the God described in the Bible is real and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him through faith.
2. Believe that Jesus was telling the truth and learn as much as possible about Him and His teachings.
3. Confess to others your belief in Jesus and your desire to follow His way instead of your own way or others' ways.
Back To The Basics 2
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.
Luke 17 Discipleship and the Kingdom of God
The document discusses themes from the Gospel of Luke including discipleship, humility, and living together as followers of Jesus. It contains several quotes from Jesus about the kingdom of God being present among people rather than a place that can be observed or identified from the outside. The document also references passages about indifference prior to the flood in Noah's time and in Sodom and Gomorrah during Lot's time when people were preoccupied with daily activities rather than recognizing the coming judgment.
Life on the highest plane - The abundant life by Albert Samuel Milton
This document discusses the abundant life and grace that God provides through Jesus Christ. It provides several Bible verses that speak of God making grace abound, believers receiving abundance of grace and reigning in life, and Christ offering an abundant life.

It encourages choosing the tree of life in Christ to partake of God's abundant provision and blessings.
Bright Pebbles: God in Us
The document discusses how Christians are temples of God and his Spirit lives within them. It emphasizes that believers should take care of their bodies and act with kindness and courtesy so that their words and actions reflect Jesus' love to others and show them a clean picture of Jesus. Christians are called to reflect Jesus to the world through how they live.
411 form sheet (4 questions on 1 sheet in 1 hour)
This document provides guidance on sharing one's personal faith journey with others in 1 minute or less. It instructs the reader to:
1. Start by asking to hear the other person's faith journey and listening attentively. Then ask if you can share your own story.
2. Create a "relational map" with your name in the center and the names of 5 people you know who are not following God. Update it over time as you pray for them daily.

Worldly or Not? - Bishop Horace Ransom Jr.
This document discusses the concept of worldliness from a biblical perspective. It begins by defining the Greek word "cosmos" that is translated as "world" in the Bible. It then examines different views on what constitutes worldly behavior. The document argues that worldliness refers to embracing the demonic systems and values of ungodly people rather than isolation from society. It notes Christians should relate to the world as Jesus did, to fulfill their purpose of witnessing, but should not compromise biblical values. The goal for Christians is to live distinctly from worldly ways through applying God's word, while still having relationships with unbelievers for the purpose of ministry.
Informal Bible Study Quiz: Book of Job
Informal Bible Study Quiz: Book of JobThe Sherlene brand - SherleneStevens.com | Family Bonding Portal
This document appears to be from a quiz on the Book of Job given during a Monday show. The quiz contains questions about the Holy Spirit, the Holy Trinity of God, Job's marital status and friends who visited him, Job's emotions, and the advice given to Job and how it can apply to believers' daily lives. It encourages learning about God, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, Job's story, and gaining wisdom from his experience.The church of your choice
The document discusses whether believers should choose their own way or follow God's way in various religious matters. It notes that Noah built the ark that God instructed, Abel offered the sacrifice God desired, and Jesus rejected Peter's suggestion to build unauthorized tabernacles. The gospel comes from God, not man, and Jesus established one church that believers should join, not a church of their own choosing. Choosing one's own way leads to divisions, but following God's way leads to unity and salvation.
The church god's holy priesthood
The document discusses the concept of believers being a royal priesthood based on passages from the Bible. It notes that believers have been made kings and priests by God and are called to offer up spiritual sacrifices as living stones in God's spiritual house. As God's chosen people, believers have priestly privilege in being redeemed and purified by Christ, priestly access to God through the blood of Christ and the Holy Spirit, and a priestly function to show God's praises and declare their fellowship with God and Christ. The overall message is that all believers have the highest honor, calling, and work as priests of God.
202, Life of Christ, Section 10a Passion Crucifixion Resurrection
The document summarizes events from the final days of Jesus' life according to the Gospels, beginning with the Last Supper on Thursday night. It describes Jesus sharing a final meal with his disciples where he predicts his betrayal by Judas and denies by Peter, and establishes the Eucharist by serving bread and wine as his body and blood. After the meal, Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane while Judas goes to betray him to the chief priests. The document also examines details and potential interpretations of these pivotal events.

A Royal Priesthood: 1 Peter 2 v 9
This is a guideline for a sermon delivered on the evening of Sunday 12 July 2015 at Cape Town Union Church, the city site of Church on Main. It is a discussion on the passage from 1 Peter 2 v 9 with particular focus on the concept Peter mentions of 'the royal priesthood'. Its consists of a series of observations and the argument that Christians may have a tendency towards misunderstanding our identity as members of the royal family of the King of Kings and what royalty means in His Kingdom. We have been given specific talents, treasure and time to serve people and planet while holding our relationship with the Lord as something personal, intimate and committed.
A healthy team
The document discusses what makes a healthy team according to scripture. It explains that spiritual gifts are given by God and meant to be used to serve others and build up the community. Various spiritual gifts are listed from Romans, 1 Peter, Ephesians, and 1 Corinthians. The document encourages discovering your gifts and passions in order to build up the body of Christ.
Chafer, Bible Themes: Church prayer & thanksgiving
heard because of their many words.
Do not be like them, for your Father
1) The document discusses the history and theology of prayer in different dispensations, from individual prayer in ancient times to Jesus' teaching on prayer.
2) It argues that prayer in the name of Jesus takes on the highest form, as it recognizes the person and work of Christ. Unbelievers' prayers cannot be accepted by God as prayer requires union with Christ.
3) The scope of prayer is defined as whatever is asked in accordance with God's will, as believers remain in Christ and his words remain in them. Regular, reverent prayer should be practiced with the Holy Spirit.
The priesthood
The document discusses the roles and ranks of priests in the church. It describes priests as messengers of God who guide believers and teach them to fight against spiritual enemies. Priests handle communion, perform confessions, and lead liturgy in order to pray for forgiveness of sins and care for people's salvation. They are consecrated through the sacrament of holy orders where the bishop lays hands on them. The ranks include deacons as servants, priests as teachers, and bishops as overseers and shepherds.
Outpouring of the Holy Spirit
The document discusses the biblical concept of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It states that the outpouring will occur at the end times during the gathering of God's people. The outpouring is described as including the spirit of grace and supplication, the former rain, and the latter rain. The outpouring will result in people prophesying, dreaming dreams, and having visions. It will lead to repentance, the removal of evil, and immortality being given to God's children. The outpouring is compared to the original outpouring on the apostles, but it is said it will be on a much larger scale and will not be corrupted.
Jesus raises lazarus
This document summarizes the biblical story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. It describes how Lazarus became ill and died, despite Jesus receiving a message from his sisters Mary and Martha. When Jesus arrived in Bethany four days later, he went to Lazarus' tomb and called out "Lazarus, come forth." Lazarus then emerged from the tomb still bound in grave clothes. Many witnesses came to faith in Jesus after seeing this miraculous sign. The document reflects on how this event showed Jesus' power over death and his compassion for those he loved.
Lesson 5 Seven Special Messages From Jesus
The document summarizes the key messages from Jesus to seven churches in Revelation chapters 2-3. It discusses how each church represents a different era of Christian history. The main points are:
1) The seven churches (Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea) each received messages from Jesus about knowing their works, overcoming, and listening to the Holy Spirit.
2) Each church era faced different challenges like losing love, persecution, compromise, apostasy, reformation, and lukewarmness.
3) Jesus promises rewards to the "overcomers" in each church like access to the tree of
Ap training—elder foster 2.11(1)
The document discusses priesthood training and the restoration of the priesthood keys. It provides excerpts from scriptures and teachings about the duties and responsibilities of holding the priesthood. Some key points include:
1. Passages discuss the Lord calling Joseph Smith to restore priesthood authority and commandments.
2. Excerpts outline the duties of Aaronic Priesthood holders such as preaching, teaching, and inviting others to come unto Christ.
3. The restoration of priesthood keys by Moses, Elias, and Elijah conferring specific priesthood authorities is summarized.
4. Maintaining and magnifying one's priesthood calling results in sanctification and becoming "the sons of Moses
We ought to obey god rather than men
The document contains two biblical passages. Romans 13 outlines how Christians should submit to governing authorities as they are established by God. Acts 5 describes how the apostles continued preaching and healing despite being imprisoned, and how Gamaliel counsels the Jewish leaders to leave the apostles alone rather than fight against God's work.
What do you see when you see the cross
The document discusses what is seen when looking at the cross. It sees the ugliness of sin as borne by Jesus who carried our sorrows and was wounded for our transgressions. It also sees our helplessness without God and his power to forgive through the sacrifice on the cross. Finally, it sees the inexhaustible love of God shown through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross according to several Bible verses.
Where would jesus go to church
The document discusses where Jesus would go to church based on the biblical account in Luke 4:16-20. It describes how Jesus regularly attended synagogue on the Sabbath in his hometown of Nazareth, as was his custom, and read from the scriptures. The document suggests Jesus would go to a church that honors his name, teaches his doctrine, allows worship in spirit and truth, and teaches people how to be saved according to his will. It concludes by asking where the reader would go to church.
Metallic bonds
Metals form metallic bonds between positive metal ions and delocalized valence electrons. This bonding allows the metal atoms to bond together in a crystalline structure and be malleable and a good conductor of heat and electricity. The delocalized electrons are free to move throughout the entire structure.
The touch of the master's hand
A leper was quarantined from society due to their disease. Jesus touched the leper, healing them. While we cannot perform miracles, we can touch others' lives through kindness. We should focus on how we can serve others, not what others can do for us. It is not about what others have done for us, but how we will be remembered through our positive impact on others.
A different book
The Bible is a unique book as it was written by God and tells the story of Jesus from creation to his second coming. It explains how Jesus came to save humanity from sin and what people must do to be saved, such as believing, repenting of sins, and being baptized. The Old Testament prepares for Jesus' arrival while the New Testament recounts his life and teachings and the spread of the church after his resurrection.

Central housegroup mission powerpoint
God's mission is to restore relationships between humanity, himself, and creation through salvation and establishing his kingdom of righteousness, justice, and peace on earth. The church's mission should align with God's by proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, teaching and nurturing new believers, serving human needs through love, seeking justice, and caring for God's creation. Specifically, churches should focus on proclaiming the good news of the kingdom through both words and actions in a gracious, honest way that shares how Jesus makes a difference in believers' lives. Believers should seize opportunities to share their faith experiences and reasons for hope in Jesus.

Intro to crane church of christ
The Mary Street church of Christ is a non-denominational Christian congregation in Crane, Texas that seeks to follow the teachings and practices of the early church as documented in the New Testament. They believe denominationalism is sinful as it promotes division. The church's worship involves communion, singing, giving, prayer and Bible teaching based on examples from the New Testament. Regarding salvation, they teach it is by God's grace through faith, repentance, confession, baptism and faithful living according to scripture. Their goal is to have a church that faithfully teaches the Bible without additions or innovations.

Not ashamed of the gospel lesson 13
God has designed salvation for all people. Salvation comes through faith, which is an internalized belief based on the evidence and preaching of the gospel. True faith involves believing in one's heart that Jesus is Lord and confessing this with one's mouth. Confessing Jesus as Lord acknowledges him as the ruler of one's life and allegiance. To be saved, one must have faith that Jesus was born of a virgin, died and was buried but then resurrected as proof that he alone can forgive sins and offer eternal life.
Series jesus is -______ - message – part 6 - jesus is alive – sunday 03-...
This is the final message (Part 6) in Pastor Chuck Bernal's series, "JESUS is _____________". The message is titled, "JESUS is Alive". In this message Pastor Chuck talks about the fact that Easter is a FACT and that Jesus is really alive. And because he is alive, it changes everything and it changes our lives in three powerful ways. First, because Jesus is alive, it changes our past (Easter brings forgiveness). Second, because Jesus is alive, it changes our present (Easter gives purpose). And third, because Jesus is alive, it changes our future (Easter instills hope). This message was delivered at LifePointe Church on Easter Sunday, March 27, 2016.
Lordship & decision making
The document discusses the lordship of Christ and how it relates to decision making. It argues that Jesus is the king over all creation and that the Christian life should be characterized by joyful obedience to him. When making decisions, believers should focus on maximizing their obedience to the commands, priorities, and values expressed in Scripture rather than trying to find God's specific will through mystical or superstitious means. Wise decision making involves studying the Bible to understand God's principles and then trusting him after making a choice that aligns with his Word.

1 what baptism does not do
Baptism does not change the heart, remove temptation, or guarantee eternal salvation. While baptism is essential, it does not alone ensure salvation or make one sinless. Baptism requires faith and repentance preceded by a change of heart, mind, emotions, and will. It must be followed by continual obedience to Christ through worship, service, and seeking heavenly things until death.

Bb9
The document discusses the work of Jesus, including that he never sinned and was the perfect representative of humanity. It argues that Jesus was not a substitute for humanity in death, but represented us so that God can forgive our sins. The Law of Moses, including the Sabbath requirement, ended with Jesus and is no longer binding. Salvation comes through faith in Christ, not by works or obedience to the Law. The New Covenant established through Jesus replaced the Old Covenant and Law of Moses.

If
This document outlines a chain of events, suggesting that if Joseph had not been sold into slavery in Egypt, he would not have risen to power and saved his family and others from famine, his family may have perished, and therefore Jesus may not have been born to die on the cross and save humanity from sin.
How to study your bible
The document provides guidance on how to study the Bible through examining the meaning and significance of passages. It discusses understanding the original author's intended meaning by surveying the historical background, context, grammar, and definitions of words. The goal is to preserve the integrity of the meaning while understanding contemporary significance. Three progressive objectives of exposition, interpretation and application are outlined to achieve understanding, relevance and life application from Bible study.
Do's and don'ts for dealing with the world
This document provides guidance on how Christians should interact with the world. It lists both "do's" and "don'ts," advising that one shouldn't expect fairness from or compromise with the world. However, one should stay close to God as their source of strength, remember that God is in control, and believe that God answers prayers.
Peter's selfless defense
Peter defended himself before the council regarding healing a man in the name of Jesus. In his defense, Peter told the council that they had crucified Jesus, but God had raised him from the dead, as demonstrated by Jesus healing the man standing before them. Unable to deny their role in Jesus' death or the man's healing, the council could not refute that God had raised Jesus, resulting in their silence.
What to do when satan attacks
This document provides advice on dealing with Satan's attacks. It suggests to not be surprised by attacks from Satan, to not give up when facing opposition from Satan, and to avoid falling for Satan's traps and deceptions. The document outlines three main points: don't be surprised by attacks, don't give up when facing opposition, and don't fall for Satan's traps.
The healing of a beggar
Peter and John were going to the temple when they came upon a beggar who had been lame from birth. The beggar asked them for money, and Peter said that he had no silver or gold but would give him what he had, which was healing in the name of Jesus Christ. Peter helped the man stand up, and immediately the man's feet and ankles were healed. He then entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
In his name
The sermon discusses Peter's speech at the temple where he heals a crippled beggar. Peter refuses recognition for the healing and instead reviews what happened. He then declares that through the resurrection of Jesus, the beggar was healed in His name. Peter extends reassurance to the people and requires repentance, promising restoration. He foretells of Jesus as the redeemer and says revelation was interrupted by the people's disbelief.
A church everyone should want to be a member of
This document describes the ideal characteristics of a church that everyone should want to be a member of based on Acts 2:42-47. The church worshiped together, showed reverence for God, shared possessions unselfishly, experienced joy, and actively evangelized to new people.
The beginning of gospel preaching in its fullness
The Central Union Church of Christ held a sermon on April 12 about the beginning of gospel preaching in its fullness based on Acts 2:14-36.

How three thousand were saved

Beginning at jerusalem
The document discusses the significance of the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 when the Holy Spirit fell upon the apostles. It summarizes that this day:
1) Marked the beginning of the kingdom/church as promised, with the coming of power from the Holy Spirit;
2) Saw the reversal of the curse of Babel as people from many nations heard the gospel in their own languages; and
3) Signaled an end to the Law of Moses and beginning of the Law of Christ, paralleling but reversing what happened at Mount Sinai.
Waiting in jerusalem
The Central Union Church of Christ document discusses how after Jesus' ascension, the disciples waited in Jerusalem with other believers. They strengthened relationships, prayed and praised God together, and stayed united. When Judas' position became vacant, they selected Matthias as a replacement according to the scriptures, to keep the number of disciples at twelve. The document encourages Christians to wait for Jesus together in worship and unity, and to learn from Judas' example.
The book of life
The document discusses the biblical concept of the Book of Life, which is described as the registry of those who are saved and whose names are written in heaven. The Book of Life contains a precise list of the righteous and is referenced in passages about the final judgment, where those not found written in the book will be condemned to the lake of fire. The document encourages readers to make sure their own names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life in order to gain entrance into heaven.
Jesus and his last day on earth
The document summarizes chapter 1 verses 1-11 of the book of Acts. It discusses Jesus reviewing his time on Earth with the apostles after his resurrection and promising them the coming of the Holy Spirit and establishment of his kingdom. Jesus promises the apostles that the kingdom will be universal, not confined to Israel. He then ascends to heaven, with the apostles receiving two confirmations that Jesus completed his work and teachings about the kingdom.
The greatest sequel ever written
The document discusses how the Book of Acts is the greatest sequel ever written. It was written by Luke, a physician, as a follow up to his gospel. Luke wrote both works addressed to Theophilus, a patron, in order to provide an accurate and orderly account of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and the early Christian church. The purpose was to give Theophilus certainty about the teachings he had received.
Who is number one
This document from the Central Union church of Christ discusses putting God first in one's life and priorities. It notes that knowing who or what is number one provides stability according to scripture. The document reviews what the world and the will of God say about determining priorities. It emphasizes seeking God's kingdom and will above all else, and loving God with all your heart as the greatest commandment according to Jesus. The overall message is about ensuring God is the number one priority and influence in one's life.
Tell the good news
The document discusses the importance of evangelism and sharing one's faith according to several Bible passages. It notes that over 100,000 people die every day without Christ and cites verses showing Jesus' command to spread the gospel message to all nations. The document expresses an sense of obligation and reward for fulfilling the Great Commission through saving others, as one must not come to Heaven alone but must help others find salvation as well.
Remove your nagging fear
The document discusses how to remove nagging fears and know for sure about salvation. It explains that feelings are uncertain and can produce false confidence or concern. True confidence depends on the Spirit's testimony rather than speculation, and is based on knowledge of what the Spirit commands rather than past accomplishments or failures. Walking in the light through obedience to the Spirit's commands allows one to have assurance despite an inability to remember or recount past good deeds.
The prescription for a happy life
According to I Peter 3:10-12, to love life and see good days one must be careful with their words, avoid evil and do good, get along with others, remain on the side of the Lord, and stay in prayer with God.
