Zephaniah warns of the coming Day of the Lord, a time of God's judgment. God has grown tired of Judah's idolatry and wickedness. The Day of the Lord will bring sweeping destruction, like a floor being thoroughly cleaned. God will judge the idolaters, leaders, merchants, and those who do not seek Him. However, those who seek the Lord with righteousness and humility will find redemption.

Creation of angels
God created the angels as the first spiritual beings. Angels are spiritual beings created by God to serve and worship Him. They were God's first creation and were made to carry out His will. The Bible references angels throughout and describes them as messengers and servants of God. There are also descriptions of different types of angels that make up the nine choirs or spheres in heaven.
Representations of the holy spirit.
The document discusses the Holy Spirit and its importance for Christians. It states that even if one is a believer, without being baptized or empowered by the Holy Spirit, they are an ineffective Christian. It encourages the reader to ask God to fill them with the Holy Spirit so they can do what God calls them to do with power and authority. It then provides several biblical examples of how the Holy Spirit is represented, such as a cloud, clothing, anointing oil, a dove, wind, fire, a seal, and a pledge. It lastly notes that the Holy Spirit is the agent of restoration.
The third heaven
Brief discussion about the Third Heaven. Who are in the Third Heaven. Ministry of angels. Our place in heaven.
Final meeting of the Heavens and its hosts seminar.
Revelation 5 The Seal Breaker (Lewis)
Not just anyone qualifies to judge the world. For one, you have to be Creator. Secondly, you need to have given the world the chance to be saved. Jesus did both, so he will be worthy to break the seals on the scroll to unleash God's judgment. Listen to the audio of this message at http://cicfamily.com/sermon-listing/?tag=Revelation+of+John.
The second heaven
The document discusses theories about the implied second heaven and the fall of Satan based on passages from the Bible.
In 3 sentences:
1) The Bible does not explicitly mention a second heaven, but some passages imply there is a heaven between the first and third heavens where evil spirits reside.
2) There are theories that Satan fell from heaven prior to the events in Genesis 1-2, possibly causing catastrophic damage to the original earth mentioned in Genesis 1:1.
3) This fall from heaven is speculated to have been similar to an asteroid impact that suddenly destroyed much of the earth's prehistorical life and ecosystems.
Psalm 11
Psalm 11 discusses how God rules from heaven and sees all that happens, giving hope to the righteous. God tests mankind but hates the wicked, punishing them with fire and brimstone. Believers can have hope because God is righteous and looks with favor on the upright.
Revelation 4 Worthy of All Worship (Lewis)
Everyone worships someone or something, whether that object of adoration deserves it or not. However, Revelation 4 tells us that Christ alone genuinely deserves our worship and why. Listen to the audio of this message at http://cicfamily.com/sermon-listing/?tag=Revelation+of+John.
The heavens and their hosts.
This document discusses the heavens and their hosts from a biblical perspective over multiple pages. It begins by introducing the concept of three heavens - the first, second and third heavens. It then focuses on the first heaven, describing it as having two parts: the atmosphere and the celestial heaven beyond where stars, sun and moon exist. It provides several biblical examples of God's control over celestial bodies and warns against worshipping creation rather than the Creator. The document distinguishes astronomy from the occult practice of astrology, urging readers to renounce involvement with astrology.

WORSHIP
The document discusses the nature of true worship according to Jesus' teachings. It provides three key points:
1. Jesus teaches that true worship is spiritual rather than based on physical locations or traditions, and that the Father seeks those who worship Him in spirit and truth.
2. True worshippers are those who have been born of God and have a relationship with Him through faith in Christ.
3. True worship involves occupying one's heart with God rather than with needs or blessings, ascribing worthiness to God through reverence, praise, thanksgiving and obedience. It is an act of wisdom requiring separation from self and full devotion to God.
Demons & Angels in the Bible (Old Testament)
- God appointed lesser spiritual beings like angels and demons to rule over specific territories, but some rebelled against God and became evil. This included engaging in relations with humans and spreading wickedness.
- Satan was originally a perfect angelic being named Lucifer, but became prideful and rebelled against God. He now acts as God's adversary and the chief evil spiritual being responsible for accusing people and causing much suffering in the world.
- God's response to Job showed that humans cannot fully understand the spiritual realities of evil and God's purposes. While Satan initiated Job's suffering, God remains sovereign over all.

Psalm-102: A Prayer of the Afflicted
This document provides a summary of Psalm 102, which was written during the Babylonian captivity as a prayer of lament. The psalmist pours out complaints to God about despair, misery, loneliness, and shortened days. Though God does not seem to answer, the psalm finds hope in God's enduring mercy and the coming time to favor Zion through their release from captivity. This points to both physical and spiritual release from sin. The eternal God who hears cries of the afflicted and releases the appointed to death will be declared in Zion for generations to come.

- It then provides biblical examples of how division has occurred throughout scripture according to God's will to separate people, as well as lessons about keeping separate from the world as God's ecclesia while awaiting unity in God's kingdom.
- The key events that led to the divided kingdom are summarized, including the reigns and numbers of kings in both Israel and Judah, and how they were held accountable before ultimately falling or being conquered.

WORSHIP - YL Khong
The document discusses worship in the Old Testament based on passages from Exodus that describe how God instructed the Israelites to worship in the tabernacle according to exact specifications. It notes that God desired order and obedience in worship and that the tabernacle symbols prefigured spiritual realities revealed in Christ. The document contrasts OT worship with worship in the New Testament, which involves the inner spirit and truth rather than external rituals, with a focus on lives of obedience, mercy, and justice rather than sacrifices alone.
The Local Church and its problems Part 1
This document discusses doctrines of the local church based on a passage from 1 Corinthians. It provides context about the assembly of the local church in Corinth from chapters 11-14. Some of the key issues and problems discussed include disunity, immorality, litigation, and participation in public gatherings. The main topic is the problem of headdress in recognition of headship based on 1 Corinthians 11:3-16. It examines the principle and practice of headships in a church gathering, including the headship of God over Christ, Christ over man, and man over woman. Reasons and rationale for the instructions are provided based on the principle of divine headship and hierarchy.
The Local Church and its problems part 2
This document summarizes a sermon on 1 Corinthians 11-14 about problems in the early church in Corinth regarding participation in public gatherings. It discusses issues around head coverings for men and women based on principles of divine headship. There is also discussion of challenges to the interpretation from cultural customs of the time and whether Paul intended for the instructions to be taken literally or as addressing specific problems in Corinth. The sermon examines multiple perspectives on questions around gender roles and authority in the church.
Adequate Living Phil 3 8 14 Fook Soon
The document discusses Paul's desire to know Christ more fully through faith and attain the resurrection of life. It says Paul viewed his personal accomplishments as worthless compared to knowing Christ. The document outlines Paul's goals as establishing a personal relationship with Christ, desiring to know Him more in His righteousness, power, and sufferings. It emphasizes that Paul did not take his spiritual growth for granted but strived to press on and focus solely on continuing to know Christ better until the resurrection of life.
Idolatry and its Terrible Consequences Eze 8,9,10 Lim Ah Kow
1. Ezekiel chapters 8-10 describe idolatry in Israel and its terrible consequences. Ezekiel has a vision of increasing idolatry within the Temple itself, including idol images, pagan worship of Tammuz, and priests worshiping the sun.
2. As punishment for this idolatry, God sends men with weapons to slaughter the people, though some who weep over the sins of Israel are spared.
3. Jerusalem is destroyed in 586 BC and God's glory departs from the Temple, which will not feel God's presence again until Jesus' time. While God promises future restoration, the consequences of idolatry - the worship of anything other than God - are severe.
Zephaniah 3 Lim Ah Kow
Zephaniah warned of coming judgment on Judah and other nations for idolatry and sin, but also provided hope for a remnant. God will restore Israel and Judah, removing pride and impurity so his people can worship him with joy. Though once despised, God's people will be exalted and praised everywhere as he restores them from exile and draws them from every nation.
Justification [1] way of the Gentiles - Lim Ah Kow
1. Paul discusses how people suppress the truth about God that is revealed through nature, instead worshipping idols and partaking in unrighteousness.
2. God expresses his wrath by allowing people to partake in their sinful desires as punishment, such as sexual immorality and same-sex relations.
3. The document discusses differing views on whether unreached heathens are lost, but concludes that all people need the gospel message to be saved.
Joseph and Potiphar’s Wife - Lim Ah Kow
This document summarizes the biblical story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife found in Genesis 39. It discusses how Joseph was tempted by Potiphar's wife on multiple occasions to engage in sexual immorality but resisted through relying on his loyalty to God. Despite doing nothing wrong, Joseph was falsely accused and imprisoned. Even in prison though, God continued to bless Joseph and use him. Some lessons highlighted are that temptation can come unexpectedly, those who honor God are rewarded, and temptation should be resisted immediately by calling on the Lord.
Phil 1:27-2:4 The Practice of Unity
This document outlines how Christians should conduct themselves in a way that is worthy of the gospel and maintain unity. It discusses that true unity involves being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, and esteeming others above oneself. Maintaining unity through humility and mutual care allows Christians to work towards common goals and reap the fruits of harmony. The document encourages examining one's own conduct and unity based on these principles.
Ezekiel 1 2
God calls Ezekiel through a vision of his glory, shown through a great windstorm, four creatures with human, lion, ox, and eagle faces, and wheels covered with eyes. Ezekiel falls facedown, overwhelmed for seven days by the vision. God then calls Ezekiel to speak his words to the rebellious Israelites, whether they listen or not, and promises to be with him.
Introduction to Ezekiel
This document summarizes the book of Ezekiel, beginning with background on Ezekiel as a prophet. It then outlines the book's three main parts: judgment on Judah (chapters 1-24), judgment on surrounding nations (chapters 25-32), and blessings for Judah's restoration (chapters 33-48). Key events and visions described include Ezekiel's commissioning, the siege and destruction of Jerusalem, oracles against neighboring peoples, the valley of dry bones vision, and a vision of a restored temple.
Wisdom to deal with failure
1) The document discusses how failure is inevitable but Christians can overcome it through God's grace and by learning from mistakes.
2) It outlines mature attitudes towards failure, such as acknowledging mistakes, learning from them, and moving forward with God's help.
3) The conclusion emphasizes that while believers may fail God, God will never fail his people. Failure can strengthen faith and drive us closer to relying on God's mercy and grace.
Esther Chap 7-9
King Xerxes ruled Persia in the 5th century BC. He chose Esther, a young Jewish woman, to be his new queen after removing the previous queen. Esther's cousin Mordecai served in the king's court. Haman, the king's top adviser, plotted to kill all Jews. Esther revealed she was Jewish and appealed to the king to save her people. The king discovered Haman's plot and had him executed. A decree was issued allowing the Jews to defend themselves. On the appointed day, the Jews defeated their enemies who intended to kill them. This was the origin of the Jewish festival of Purim. Though God is never mentioned, his providence is seen in delivering the
Phil 3:8-14
The document discusses Paul's desire to know Christ more fully through faith and attain the resurrection of life. It says Paul viewed his personal accomplishments as worthless compared to knowing Christ. Paul wanted to know Christ's righteousness, power, and sufferings. His goal was to continue progressing in his relationship with Christ without becoming satisfied. He pressed on to know Christ better until the resurrection of life.
16th march phil 3 8 14

It emphasizes Paul pressed on toward the goal of knowing Christ better as the one most important thing.
Christian Contentment Alex Loh
1. Paul thanks the Philippians for renewing their support of him after some time had passed. Though he has learned to be content in all circumstances, their gift was still appreciated and a blessing to his ministry work.
2. Paul explains that he does not seek their gifts out of personal need, but because their giving supports the spread of the gospel and brings spiritual blessings. Their generous support from the early days of Paul's ministry in Philippi stood out compared to other churches.
3. Giving to support Paul's ministry work is pleasing to God and will result in God meeting the Philippians' own needs, just as he has met Paul's needs through their gifts. Their sacrificial giving is

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
