Purpose Driven Life - Day 10 The Heart of WorshipBart Lulu
The document discusses the concept of surrender being at the heart of worship. It states that surrender means fully submitting and yielding to God rather than trying to be in control. Three key aspects of surrender discussed are: trusting God despite limitations, not being passive but sacrificing oneself for God, and Jesus providing the ultimate example of self-surrender. Surrender brings benefits like peace and freedom from living under sin's power. The document encourages total and continual surrender to God on a daily basis.
1. The document discusses a sermon about 1 Peter 5:1-11 where Peter addresses elders and younger members.
2. Elders are told to shepherd God's flock willingly and not lord over others, while younger members are told to submit to elders.
3. All are called to humility and casting anxiety on God, as the devil prowls to destroy believers. God will restore the suffering faithful.
As we are empowered by grace in Christ Jesus we can endure hardships, be diligent in our labors, and become vessels of honor for the Lord's use. All of us can become a vessel of honor that is cleansed, set apart, available and fully equipped for every good work God wants to release through us.

The document discusses how to unleash power through focusing thoughts positively. It recommends changing thoughts by meditating on truths from the Bible and focusing on beautiful things. It also advises making an effort to stop negative thoughts and speak positively instead of cursing. Lastly, it encourages imagining a better future, speaking it out loud, and believing change can happen through faith in Christ.
Relationships is very key to human existence. God will judge us based on: 1. Our relationship with Him; 2. Our relationship with one another; and 3. Our relationship with His creation. When you miss the ultimate, your relationship with God, you spoil the other two...because it is the foundation of any good, healthy relationships and being. A people who commit suicide, enter into depression, etc have a challenge in building relationships.
This is a highlight on Building Healthy Relationships.
God blesses us so that we can be His channels of blessing to the world. Service, kindness, generosity, and creative problem solving are few ways we bless people around us.

The parable of the sower describes 4 types of people who hear God's word:
1) Those along the path - Satan takes God's word from their hearts so they cannot believe.
2) Rocky ground - They receive God's word with joy but have no root, believing temporarily before falling away in testing.
3) Thorny ground - They are choked by life's worries, riches, and pleasures and do not mature in faith.
4) Good soil - They hear God's word, retain it, and through perseverance produce a crop through their noble and good heart.
September.3.2015 - Sunday Message- HEART OF WORSHIPCatherine Lirio
The document discusses the concept of surrendering one's life to God. It explains that surrender is not about losing but rather freely giving oneself to God out of love. True worship and bringing God glory happens through complete surrender. Surrendering involves trusting God, admitting our limitations as creatures not in control, and obeying God even if his commands don't make sense. Surrendering to God brings benefits like peace, freedom, and experiencing his power to overcome problems. Jesus is presented as the ultimate example of self-surrender.
This document discusses the importance of having an attitude of gratitude. It defines an attitude of gratitude as expressing thankfulness and appreciation for both big and small things on a regular basis. It says having gratitude brings blessings, progress in life, establishes God's covenant, and helps fulfill God's plan. It provides examples showing how being thankful, even in difficult times like Job and Joseph faced, led to them overcoming situations and receiving blessings. The document encourages the reader to always express gratitude like Jesus did.
This document poses a series of "what if" scenarios exploring what would happen if God treated humans the way they treat Him. It suggests that while God will continue blessing and providing for humanity even when they fail to thank, follow, study the Bible, love others, or listen to Him, eternal condemnation awaits those who persist in sin and fail to repent. The document encourages readers not to take God's gracious gifts for granted and to get saved through faith, repentance, confession, baptism and faithfulness to avoid losing God's blessings or facing His judgment.
The document discusses the dangers of complaining and importance of thankfulness. It provides 3 reasons why complaining is dangerous: 1) It spreads like cancer, 2) It is a sin that separates us from God, 3) It can lead to other sins. The document encourages practicing thankfulness instead of complaining, even in difficult situations, as this is God's will and brings glory to Him. Thankfulness provides the right perspective in viewing life's circumstances.
The document provides an overview of the prophetic books of the Old Testament. It discusses that the prophetic period covers around 400 years leading up to and including the destruction of Jerusalem. There are 17 prophetic books written by 16 prophets. The prophets received messages from God to warn Israel of coming judgment for sins and to provide hope of restoration. Their messages were relevant to their own times but also looked ahead to the coming of the Messiah. The prophets served as God's spokesmen to instruct the people in following God's law.
The document discusses various perspectives on the concept of love. It defines love as an action rather than a feeling, involving commitment, attention, and risk. Love is choosing to nurture another person's growth through both good and bad times. True love is demonstrated through caring actions over time rather than fleeting feelings alone.
The document provides an overview of seeking and knowing God's will. It discusses the different types of God's will, including his fulfilled will through Jesus, revealed will found in scripture, and specific will for individual lives. Fulfilling God's revealed will means placing Christ first, loving God, being thankful, making disciples, and living holy lives. Parents have a responsibility to bring up children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Living together as a Christ-centered family allows parents to instruct children according to scripture so they can shine as lights in the world.
The document discusses 3 important truths about love that are learned through fellowship: 1) The best use of life is love. Without love, what we say, know, believe, give, and accomplish is meaningless. 2) The best expression of unselfish love is time. Giving our time to others through sacrifice is a true act of love. 3) The best time to love unselfishly is now, as the present is our only sure possession. We will be evaluated on how we treated others, especially those in need.
The document summarizes a parable from Luke 18:9-14 about a Pharisee and tax collector who went to the temple to pray. The Pharisee boasted of his righteousness through fasting and tithing, while the tax collector humbly beat his breast and asked for God's mercy as a sinner. Jesus said the tax collector, not the Pharisee, was justified by God, showing that humility rather than self-righteousness is accepted by God.
This document discusses the concept of slavery from a Christian perspective. It examines multiple passages from the Bible that describe believers as slaves or servants to various masters, including righteousness, sin, false gods, money, and the law. The document then focuses on Ephesians 6:5-9, which instructs Christian slaves to obey their earthly masters and Christian masters to stop threatening slaves. It emphasizes that both slaves and masters serve the same heavenly master and will be judged equally by God. Overall, the document explores what it means for Christians to be slaves or servants both spiritually and in earthly social relationships.
This document discusses building Christian character through patience. It defines patience as enduring or waiting without getting angry, and as a strong determination of will to overcome negative things according to God's will. It provides several Bible verses exhorting Christians to have patience, including enduring trials, bearing with one another in love, imitating those who through faith and patience inherit what is promised, and enduring undeserved suffering while being conscious of God's will.
This document discusses the meaning of labor in the Lord not being in vain based on 1 Corinthians 15:58. It says that labor includes spiritual works like reading the Bible, helping others, and observing the Sabbath. True labor for God will be rewarded both on earth through prosperity and in heaven. Empty labor includes worrying over worldly things instead of prioritizing God. The conclusion encourages Christians to faithfully serve God and the church knowing their efforts will not go unpaid.
1) The document discusses how to obtain God's favor through praying to God, keeping God's commandments, seeking God's wisdom, diligently seeking good, and living righteously.
2) Some benefits of being in God's favor include having petitions more likely granted, being surrounded by God's protection, receiving life, enemies not triumphing over those in favor, and God showing mercy.
3) The conclusion reiterates the importance of God's favor and blessing the work of our hands.
This document summarizes the key points from 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 about sowing and reaping lessons related to generosity. It discusses that:
1) How much you give is a personal decision, but the Bible encourages tithing 10% as a baseline.
2) Generous giving yields generous returns, as God blesses the giver with increased resources and ability to give to others.
3) When believers give generously, it meets the needs of others and results in thanks and praise to God from both the recipients and other believers.
Patience is a virtue that many of us need to work on. What is patience? What can I do to increase my patience? What are some consequences of not being patient? How does God give us patience? Hopefully this lesson will help you answer these questions. Audio: http://w65stchurchofchrist.org/Sermons/Audio_Sermons/2010_04_04_Lord_Give_Me_Patience_Now.mp3
The document is a sermon about choosing to live a godly life based on 1 Peter 2:1-12. It discusses that life involves making choices that shape who we become. The passage calls believers to rid themselves of evil and crave spiritual nourishment. Believers are called living stones built into God's spiritual house. Though rejected by humans, Christ was chosen by God. Believers are now God's chosen people and should live good lives to glorify him.
The document discusses faith, surrender, and transformation through encounters with Jesus Christ. It references biblical stories like Jesus raising Jairus' daughter from the dead and feeding the 5,000 to show how small acts of faith and offering what you have to God can be multiplied in His grace. It encourages readers to choose life over what owns them by making the great exchange of following Jesus through investing, offering, and multiplying their gifts.

In 2 Chronicles 29 through chapter 31, Hezekiah reopened and cleansed the temple in Jerusalem and he invited all Israel to come to Zion, to the holy temple, to worship God.
After rededicating themselves to serving God, the people purged the land of idols.
Oh, that we would have the courage just to purge our hearts !
To purge ourselves of prejudice ,and the poison of pride !... To empty ourselves of ourselves and be filled with God and his Spirit!...
For the sake of peace , for the sake of unity , for the sake of saving the lost – what would you be willing to do?
Most of us are racist and don't even realize it , or prejudiced and don't see it , divisive or sectarian and deny it. In our rejecting to face our flaws and fix them , we reject the very Gospel that saved us!
How can we "be all things to all men" when we esteem ourselves better than others? How can we "live peaceably with ALL" when we look for bridges to burn , rather than mend? How can we possibly "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel" when we have made our world ,a small familiar circle?
If the Gospel confirmed anything other than the obvious , it confirmed that there is NO PLACE for racism , or prejudice in the Lord's body , mission, and purpose... NONE.
What have we become?
What have we let the media , politics, and FEAR do to us ,church?
Titus 2:11-12 " For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for ALL PEOPLE, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age ..."
Come join us tomorrow , and lets "Purge Our Temples" and give thanks to our mighty God that his salvation is for ALL people , EVERYWHERE.
Come as you are , leave changed...
This document provides guidance on allowing God to guide one's life based on scripture. It outlines how to guide actions with generosity, feelings with love and honesty, relationships with God through prayer and dedication, keeping one's heart right, having full trust in troubles, being thankful in successes, being repentant of sin, helpful towards others, engaging in daily worship, focusing one's mind on noble things, and ultimately trusting and following God's lead through obeying and believing the gospel.
The document discusses different aspects of God's love and justice based on biblical passages. It defines different types of love mentioned in the Bible like agape love, philia love, storge love, and eros love. It provides examples from the Bible where God demonstrates both his loving and just nature, such as punishing people for their sins but also protecting and providing for them. The document emphasizes that God's love is unconditional while human love is conditional, and that truly loving God means keeping his commandments and showing love for others.
Matthew 6:1-18 discusses three acts of righteousness - giving to the needy, prayer, and fasting. For each act, Jesus warns against practicing them for public recognition and praise. He instructs his followers to carry out such acts privately and sincerely for God alone.

Sermon by: Brian Birdow
This lesson encourages us to have the Spirit of a Christian through examples that the Bible provides. It instructs us on the type of Spirit that a Christian should show in their every day lives and reassures us of the love of God, even when things are going bad.
The document provides a daily checklist and discusses the concepts of life and death. It then contrasts two advertisements seeking models of success - one for the world which emphasizes wealth, fame and attributes, and one for Christians which emphasizes humility, service and not appearances. It lists things Christians should do after receiving salvation, including not conforming to the world, visiting the lost, obeying God and loving him wholeheartedly. However, it notes Christians often do the opposite and love sin instead. It closes with warnings about the last days and exhortations to pursue righteousness and call on God with pure hearts.

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
