Catechsim:Building a Relationship with God through Prayer
A short presentation for Grade 7/Confirmation II P.R.E.P. class based on building a relationship with God through prayer. Includes discussion qs, ways and tips for expression of prayer and common kinds of prayers.
Devotion day 1
This document discusses pursuing excellence. It states that we should accept the challenge of transforming mediocrity into excellence by being willing to learn and change. True leaders are proactive, not reactive. Pursuing excellence is important because God designed us to excel and excellence requires continuous self-improvement. The document provides biblical quotes emphasizing the need to work wholeheartedly for God rather than people and acknowledge God in all ways.
Your Walk With God
This document discusses living an honest life with God by walking according to his word. It asks a series of questions to encourage self-reflection on whether one is truly honest with themselves and obedient to God. It emphasizes making the Bible the final authority, walking as Christ did through love and good works, and being ready when God tests the heart. The goal is to line up one's life with God's will in order to receive blessings, health, prosperity, and favor from following his commands through obedience.
Word of Life, March 2011
God wants each person to discover their true identity by following God's will, just as Mary did. God's will is a divine plan of love that runs from eternity to eternity. For God's design to be fulfilled, one must consent to God's word, as Mary did by saying "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord." Though God's will is not always clear, one must listen to God's voice within and seek advice from others. Once God's will is understood, one should say "yes" at once. By accepting God's will, one accepts God and embraces love. Every event in life bears a message from God and contributes to fulfilling God's design, which will be discovered by doing
Devotional life
This document discusses the importance of developing a daily devotional life centered around spending time with God through prayer and reading the Bible. It recommends starting the day with devotionals to invite God into your day and make Him your top priority. Specific tips provided include reading from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs daily and writing down what God is speaking, promising, commanding, warning, and applying to your life. Benefits mentioned are that your life, attitude, and direction will be positively changed as God transforms you through His Word.
Be Holy
The document discusses what it means to be holy based on scripture. It defines holiness as being set apart for God, which guards the distinction between God and humanity and enables fellowship between them. It says sin disrupts this relationship, but through covenant with God, which involves keeping His commandments, people can restore the relationship and inherit eternal life. The rewards of holiness are peace and prosperity in this life, as well as eternal life. It provides rules for living holy, such as being spirit-filled, prayerful, reading scripture, and obeying God without hesitation.
Lesson 2b
The document outlines the RCCR principle for sharing the gospel with others. It involves four steps:
R = Relate, which means starting a conversation in the natural realm by discussing everyday topics to build rapport.
C = Create, which is deliberately swinging the conversation to spiritual topics through questions about faith or recent events involving death.
C = Convict, referred to as "holding up the standard of God" or "God's mirror," to show how people fall short and need salvation.
R = Reveal, sharing the good news of what God has done through Jesus Christ to provide forgiveness and eternal life. The document provides examples of questions and conversation tactics for each step.
Foundation Class Prayer and Fasting
This document discusses prayer and fasting. It defines prayer as communing with God by speaking to Him, making requests, thanking Him, interceding, and worshipping. Fasting is described as denying food to spend time in prayer and receive renewal from God. The document provides guidelines for prayer based on the Lord's Prayer, including worshipping, petitioning, asking for forgiveness and protection, and praising. It also lists other forms of prayer like supplication, intercession, and thanksgiving. Maintaining constant communication with God throughout the day is emphasized.

Lesson 5 of 26 in a series on New Testament Vistas. This sermon on the Model Prayer was presented December 4, 2011, at Palm Desert Church of Christ, by Dale Wells.
The Two Chooses Psalm 1:1-3.
Psalm 1 contrasts the righteous and unrighteous. The righteous man does not follow the ungodly, stand with sinners, or sit with mockers. Instead, he delights in God's law and meditates on it day and night. As a result, he prospers like a tree planted by water, bearing constant fruit. In contrast, the unrighteous are like chaff that passes away.
Assurance of answered prayer v1
Here are some key points on hindrances to answered prayer and how to overcome doubts:
- Sin in our lives prevents answered prayer. We must confess and repent of any known sin.
- Wrong motives like selfishness can hinder prayers. We should pray with a spirit of humility, seeking God's will.
- Lack of faith also hinders. We must pray believing that God hears us and is able to answer according to his will.
- People may feel unanswered because they ask amiss - not according to God's will in Scripture. Praying in Jesus' name helps align our prayers.
- Impatience can lead us to doubt. God may answer in his perfect timing, not
David's One Thing
This document contains excerpts from Psalm 27, which describe David's strong faith and desire to dwell in the house of the Lord. David expresses confidence in God despite facing enemies.

The commentary emphasizes seeking God individually through asking for His presence, and positioning oneself to receive what is asked of God.
True Worship
What is Worship? What are the words used in the New Testament for Worship? What does it involve? Is it just about singing? True Worship, Sacrifice and Offering.
Lecture 25 Contextualized Ministry: Paul with the Athenians
This document discusses contextualized ministry to Hindus in India. It summarizes a presentation about how Paul engaged with Athenians in Acts 17, then draws lessons on relating to Hindus. It advocates an "insider" approach using Hindu religious concepts and literature to connect with Hindus. Some key points made include: affirming Hindus' rituals without condemnation; using their concepts like nature gods as a bridge to biblical truth; and quoting extra-biblical sources as Paul did to define God. It emphasizes dependence on the Holy Spirit and importance of insider perspectives in developing appropriate strategies.
Gracious Jesus 17 - Successful Prayers
This document discusses successful prayers. It provides an overview of a presentation on praying successfully based on passages from the Bible. The objectives are to prepare for prayer by aligning with God in relationship, honoring Him alone, seeking His heart and burdens, and demonstrating total dependence. It discusses prerequisites of prayer including private communion not for show, meaningful relationship over meaningless repetition, and listening to God. Key aspects of preeminence in prayer are addressing God as loving Father, honoring His name, invoking His kingdom, and submitting to His will. Petitions include daily bread, forgiveness, prevention of temptation, and deliverance from evil. Praise includes God's kingdom, power and glory forever.

Sermon by: Brian Birdow
Directions for dealing with sin
Based on Respectable Sins by Jerry Bridges, this lesson outlines seven general directions for dealing with sin. While specific sins will be addressed in future lessons, these general directions apply to dealing with any and all sin in our lives.
Sbs Class December 13 2009a
The document is a summary of a sermon on the self-sufficiency of God based on Psalm 50. The sermon argues that God does not need sacrifices from humanity because He possesses all qualities intrinsically and eternally. The Israelites wrongly viewed God as needy like pagan gods, but God tells them in Psalm 50 that He does not need their offerings to satisfy Himself, as He is fully sufficient within Himself. Believers should recognize that God is the giver and they are the receivers, and their thanksgiving should reflect this relationship rather than viewing God as dependent on humanity.
Serving the Purpose of God
1) David served God's purpose in his generation by working humbly as a shepherd, fighting bravely against enemies of Israel like Goliath, waiting patiently for God to fulfill his promise of kingship, and leaving a godly legacy through his writings in the book of Psalms.
2) All Christians should seek to understand God's unique purpose and plan for their lives and serve Him faithfully in both their daily choices and through helping others learn about the gospel.
3) While God forgives sins, disobedience still has consequences; David's life provides an example of both God's forgiveness and the repercussions of wrongdoing.
What direction are you going
The document discusses that there are two paths in life - the broad way that leads to destruction, and the narrow way that leads to life. It likens this choice to having a GPS, with God providing the proper "GPS" of the Bible and church to guide us on the narrow path to heaven. However, many instead follow Satan's "GPS" of greed, pride and selfishness, which drive all sin and take our focus away from God. The conclusion encourages determining what path we are currently on to ensure we are following God's instructions to reach our spiritual destination of heaven.
Knowing God - Part 2
The document discusses what it means to know God. Knowing God is having an interactive covenant relationship with Him that involves the heart, mind, soul and body. It requires action, not just teaching. To grow in knowing God better involves focusing on feelings, truth, and actions - specifically developing a more honest prayer life; studying theology, the Bible, and critical thinking; and finding a biblical need to serve through actions. The overall message is that knowing God changes who we are and involves growing in our relationship with Him through our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and deeds.
Experiencing God’s Faithfulness
Do you believe that God is faithful?
Have you experience God’s faithfulness?
Do you desire God’s faithfulness?
A Sacrificial Worship
This sermon discusses why we worship God and what spiritual sacrifices we should offer Him. We worship God because He is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent as demonstrated in various Bible passages. The spiritual sacrifices we should offer include presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice to God by living righteously according to His word, and offering continual sacrifices of praise, thanksgiving, prayer, and preaching about our hope in God.
Couples 2
The document discusses principles for couples from a session on respect. It states that a man's top need is respect from his wife, while a woman's top need is love from her husband. It emphasizes that a wife should respect her husband by cheering for him, affirming him, and making him feel respected, as this will draw him closer to her. The homework asks wives to list three ways to encourage their husbands.
X3 pure couples chapter 3
The document discusses how to have a loving relationship as a couple. It states that a man's primary need is respect, and a woman's primary needs are to feel loved, secure and cherished. It defines what love looks like for a woman as listening to her, opening up emotionally to her, making her feel valued and appreciated, and showing extreme loyalty. It provides examples of how men can listen engagedly, open their hearts unconditionally to their wives, and make their wives feel like a top priority. It advises husbands to ask their wives what makes them feel loved and then make a plan to show love in that way.
X3 pure couples chapter 8
The chapter discusses resolving conflict in relationships through speaking the truth in love, dealing with anger issues including chronic anger through forgiveness, and how unforgiveness affects all areas of life. It suggests casting cares on God through the power of his spirit and doing the homework of casting cares on the Lord, speaking the truth in love, and talking through issues to let them go.

Great Sex
1) God's plan for sex is that it occurs within the context of marriage between a man and a woman. Sex is intended to bond a couple together as "one flesh".
2) For singles, God calls them to purity and resisting sexual immorality by focusing on spiritual worship and personal transformation. Dating should be done in groups and with guidance.
3) In marriage, sex should be pure, intimate, unifying the couple through their bodies as recommended in Scripture. Spouses should meet each other's needs and see themselves as servants to their partner.

Boundary is a very important topic. When I have received various trainings, this topic will always be mentioned. But how do we use God’s words to explain this matter, whether God has given us enough wisdom, we just have to find out the content in it, and then implement it accordingly.
