Why do you think Rahab is listed among the “heroes” of faith in Hebrews 11? Do you feel that some sins in your past or present are so terrible that they can’t be forgiven or that you are unworthy to serve God? How does Rahab’s story encourage you? What was the emotional state of the people in Jericho? (Josh. 2:9, 11; 6:1) How did this confirm God’s promises in Deut. l:21, 29–31? Read carefully Josh. 2:9–13. What did Rahab know about Israel's history? How long before had the Red Sea been crossed? (Ex. l4). How long before had Sihon and Og been conquered? (Deut. 2:26-3:ll) What did Rahab specifically say she believed about the God of Israel? What is impressive about her faith? Could anyone else in Jericho have come to the same conclusions?

Acts 19, Receiving the Holy Spirit, baptism of the Holy Spirit, becoming hard...Valley Bible Fellowship
Paul arrives in Ephesus and finds some disciples who had not received the Holy Spirit. He baptizes them in Jesus' name and lays hands on them so they receive the Holy Spirit. Some Jews try to invoke Jesus' name in exorcisms but are rebuked by demons. Paul teaches in the school of Tyrannus for two years and many miracles are performed through him. When some become hardened against the gospel, Paul withdraws and reasons daily. Demetrius stirs up a riot against Paul in the theater, accusing him of threatening the cult of Artemis.
The document discusses the doctrine of salvation, including what salvation is and is not. It states that salvation is solely found in Jesus Christ and his work, not any human actions. It then outlines the process of salvation, including election by God, effectual calling, regeneration, conversion through repentance and faith, justification, and eventual glorification. It addresses common objections to the doctrines of election and reprobation. The key aspects of regeneration, conversion, and justification are also explained in detail.
This document discusses biblical prophecies about the sanctuary in heaven and the antichrist power that opposes God. It describes how the antichrist power thinks to change God's law and times, and commits spiritual fornication by leading people away from God's truth. It warns that this power will try to enforce false worship and a mark of authority against God's law, but calls God's people to remain faithful to his commandments.
The document discusses the blood of Christ and how it provides eternal life. It compares the blood of man, which sustains physical life temporarily, to the blood of Christ, which sustains spiritual life eternally. It states that we receive Christ's blood through spiritual communion, which involves obeying God's commandments, studying the Bible daily, and being part of Christ's body. The blood of Christ establishes the new covenant between God and humanity, replacing the old covenant established through animal sacrifices.

The document discusses the identity of Jesus Christ based on passages from the Bible. It asserts that Jesus is God incarnate, who took on human form to sacrifice himself for humanity's sins. The cry of Jesus on the cross, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" represented him experiencing the punishment for humanity's sins in our place, as the perfect substitute and fulfillment of prophecies about the Lamb of God.
The document discusses the holiness of God as presented in the Bible. It provides many scripture quotes to highlight that God is holy in his name, throne, habitation, works, words and desire for humanity. It notes that God revealed himself as holy, almighty, eternal and righteous. The document emphasizes that God's people and everything associated with him, such as his sanctuary, are also expected to be holy as he is holy.
1) The document discusses the importance of faith as the first step of Christian growth. It defines faith as believing and trusting in God, and walking by faith rather than by sight.
2) It outlines two kinds of faith: wrong faith which is blind guessing without biblical foundation, and right faith which has substance, is proven, and aligns with scripture.
3) Right faith accesses salvation, peace with God, pleases God, answers needs, and brings all good things through knowing Jesus. To grow faith, one must constantly feed on God's word, force it in difficult times, fight with faith, and live in faith daily.
The document discusses 9 aspects of praise found in the original Hebrew and Greek words used in the Bible - halal, shabach, yadah, towdah, barak, zamar, tehillah, agalliao, proskuneo, and thriambeuo. Each aspect has a slightly different meaning and involves different physical expressions of praise such as speaking, shouting, lifting hands, kneeling, playing instruments, singing, dancing, laying prostrate, and sharing testimonies. The overall message is that God made many ways for people to praise in a way that fits their personality and situation, but the focus should always be on honoring God rather than drawing attention to oneself.
The document discusses the three realms of the supernatural: faith, anointing, and glory. It states that faith is the first realm and portal to the supernatural. Faith is in the person of Jesus Christ and it is the beginning of entry into the supernatural realm. The document explores many Bible passages that discuss faith and how it is necessary to please God and receive his promises. It establishes that the realm of faith centers around believing in Jesus Christ.
1) Paul wrote this letter to churches in Galatia to address issues related to the relationship between Jewish and Gentile Christians and justification by faith alone rather than works.
2) Paul defended his apostolic authority, noting that he received his message directly from God rather than from the other apostles.
3) Paul argued that Christians are freed from obedience to the Jewish Law and are justified by faith in Christ alone based on God's promise to Abraham that through him all nations would be blessed.
A study on Revelation 11:1-8. The presenter identifies the two witnesses, the bottomless pit power, and discusses why this history is important and how it relates to present-day world crises.
1) The biblical basis for evangelism is that God commands the church to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to all people until His return.
2) Evangelism involves proclaiming the word of God, presenting Jesus as the crucified and risen savior, and offering the free gifts of forgiveness and the Holy Spirit to all who repent and believe.
3) Those who respond are welcomed into the fellowship of the church where they are strengthened through worship, instruction, and community. The early church saw growth as more people heard and responded to the message of the gospel.

This document discusses spirit-filled spirituality and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit. It covers the person and work of the Holy Spirit, including His 12 ministries. The Holy Spirit is not a force but a person, referred to as the Paraclete. Sanctification involves being possessed by the Spirit and bearing the fruit of the Spirit. True spiritual maturity depends on being Christ-centered rather than focused on spiritual experiences themselves. The temptation is to rely on human effort rather than the surprising work of the Spirit.

The document summarizes key aspects of the book of Philippians from the New Testament. It discusses how Paul wrote Philippians around 62 AD while imprisoned to express love for the Philippians and encourage their spiritual growth. The main topic is developing the "mind of Christ" by cultivating a humble, focused, harmonious, joyful and peaceful mindset like Jesus through obedience, suffering, perseverance and gentleness.

2) Facing immense challenges with no help, the attendants courageously decided to carry Livingstone's preserved body over 1500 miles through difficult terrain and tribes to the coast of Zanzibar in order to return him to his homeland.
3) Through their heroic act of loyalty and care for their master, the attendants demonstrated the power of Christianity to unite people across boundaries of race and culture.

The Voyage of The First Hessian Army - American RevolutionChuck Thompson
American Revolution history. Part of our Liberty Education Series. Gloucester, Virginia Links and News website. GVLN. Visit us for incredible history and other great content.
The Pilgrims arrived at Cape Cod in November and sent an exploration party by land to scout the area while repairs were made to their shallop. The explorers encountered Native Americans but were not able to communicate. They found signs of past cornfields and dwellings. A later exploration by shallop discovered two empty houses and stores of corn and beans, ensuring the Pilgrims' survival. In December, during another exploration, the group had a violent encounter with Native Americans but suffered no injuries. They took this as a sign from God and named the place the "First Encounter."
The document describes the difficult voyage and early settlement of the Pilgrims in Plymouth, Massachusetts. It details their journey on the Mayflower, the hardships they faced including disease and harsh winter conditions that led to the deaths of about half of the original colonists. The document provides an eyewitness account of the Pilgrims' experiences through Governor William Bradford's journal Of Plymouth Plantation.
William Bradford was a Puritan who fled religious persecution in England and traveled to America on the Mayflower in 1620. The voyage was difficult, with many Puritans dying along the way. When they arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts, about half of the original Puritans died that first winter due to sickness and lack of shelter. Bradford became the governor and recorded their experiences, including the hardships of establishing one of the first American colonies. They survived through cooperation and by making peace with the local Wampanoag tribe under the sachem Massasoit.
Lecture on William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantationjcdmce
The Pilgrims were English Separatists who believed the Church of England could not be reformed. They fled religious persecution, first settling in the Netherlands but later deciding to relocate to America for greater freedom. In late 1620, the Mayflower departed England with 102 passengers, arriving in North America in November after a difficult 66-day voyage. The Pilgrims faced extreme hardship in that first brutal winter, with half of their group perishing due to sickness, lack of shelter, and scarcity of food. They were sustained only by the mercy of God and the selfless care of a few remaining strong individuals.

An African Narrative by Olaudah Equiano (1791)
Please read this document and if you are assigned to do so, submit your answers to the questions on the Document Worksheet as determined by your instructor.
While there was land aplenty in America, the key to the American dream of prosperity was labor: one's own and others'. The primary labor group was the family, but added to those laborers tied by marriage and birth were those tied by wages ("free" laborers), contracts (indentured servants), and coercion (slaves). Although Indian and African slavery had been part of the colonization process in the Americas since the conquistadores, the importation and use of African slaves in the English mainland colonies did not commence in earnest until the late seventeenth century. The exploitation of enslaved Africans and their descendants then increased tremendously in the eighteenth century, especially in the southern colonies, although slaves were found in every colony.
First African and then European traders carried Olaudah Equiano (1745–1797), an Ibo of Nigeria, into the trap of trans-Atlantic slavery when he was a boy of eleven. Slavery as an institution was not new to Equiano; his father had slaves, but he found that the Euro-American concept of slavery was different from the African one. Equiano survived the passage from Africa to the colonies and was bought by a Virginia planter, and shortly thereafter, by an English naval officer. He served on warships during the Seven Years' War and then, as the property of a Quaker merchant, participated in the trade between the West Indies and the southern colonies. Equiano bought his freedom in 1766 and supported himself as a sailor. His life did not parallel the lives of most of those enslaved, for he learned to read and write and gained his own liberty. Greatly influenced by evangelical ministers who preached the equality of souls, he used his freedom and education to work for the abolition of slavery.

The first object which saluted my eyes when I arrived on the coast, was the sea, and a slave ship, which was then riding at anchor, and waiting for its cargo. These filled me with astonishment, which was soon converted into terror, when I was carried on board. I was immediately handled, and tossed up to see if I were sound, by some of the crew; and I was now persuaded that I had gotten into a world of bad spirits, and that they were going to kill me. Their complexions, too, differing so much fr.

The document is a chapter summary for The Island of Doctor Moreau by H.G. Wells. It provides an overview of the first 3 chapters:
Chapter 1 introduces the narrator Edward Prendick and how he ended up adrift at sea after a shipwreck, surviving for 8 days on a lifeboat with two other men.
Chapter 2 details his rescue by a passing ship, the Ipecacuanha, and meeting its passenger Montgomery who nurses Prendick back to health and tells him about their destination.
Chapter 3 describes Prendick's unsettling encounter with a misshapen, hairy man who emerges from the ship's hatchway, his strange face deeply shocking Prend
Excerpts from bradfords_of_plymouth_plantation_with_text-dependent_questionsHank Maine
The Pilgrims had a difficult first winter in Plymouth, with over half of the original 100+ people dying from disease and lack of shelter. Only 6-7 healthy people were able to care for the sick. William Brewster and Miles Standish helped many who were weak and ill. Despite the hardship, the Pilgrims held a harvest feast to celebrate their survival and the help of the Native Americans like Squanto. They invited Massasoit and 90 of his men to share in the three-day feast, establishing the tradition of Thanksgiving.
Excerpts from bradfords_of_plymouth_plantation_with_text-dependent_questions (1)Hank Maine
The Pilgrims had a difficult journey as they explored the coast by boat looking for a suitable place to settle. Their boat was damaged in rough weather and they nearly wrecked on rocks before finding shelter on an island overnight. The next day they explored further and found the area around Plymouth to be a potentially good location, with cleared land and fresh water. They returned happily to their ship to bring the news to the rest of the settlers, relieved to have found a place to situate themselves.

This document discusses the genocide of California Native Americans that occurred following European contact and settlement. It notes that the indigenous population declined by 90-95% (around 130 million people) in just 200 years after 1492. It describes the concept of "Manifest Destiny" which was used to justify the expansion and conquest of Native lands in North America by white settlers. It criticizes this belief and the actions taken against indigenous peoples as a means for white settlers to compensate for their genetic weakness as albinos and prove their superiority. The document examines accounts from early Spanish explorers and missionaries about their interactions with and views of Native Californians.

This document provides a summary of Giovanni da Verrazano's letter to King Francis I of France describing his 1524 voyage along the eastern coast of North America. Some key details:
- Verrazano encountered native peoples along the coast from present-day South Carolina to New York, finding them to be of varying skin tones and customs.
- He explored coastal regions he found to be temperate with forests containing unfamiliar but fragrant trees. Rivers and lakes supported abundant wildlife.
- Notable locations visited included a large estuary resembling New York Harbor and a triangular island offshore that was likely Long Island.
The Reverend Robert Walsh boarded a slave ship called the Feloz in 1829 off the coast of Africa. He found over 500 men, women, and children crammed into the ship's lower decks, confined in spaces so low they had to sit bent-kneed with no room to move. Many showed signs of illness, emaciation, and abuse. The conditions on the ship were utterly inhumane, with inadequate space, food, air and extreme heat, causing 55 of the slaves to have already died in the 17 days since leaving Africa.

3. in the East Indies to attempt the conversion of Malabar heathens.
Court preacher Luetkans made application to the professors of divinity in
Halle to supply his Majesty with fit persons to undertake this important
mission.
Mr. Barthalomew Ziegenbalg and
Mr. Henry Plutschau were selected
to go upon so difficult an errand. The 29th
of November, 1705 both embarked
with great joy in a ship called Princess
Sophia Hedwigh.
In the year 1705,
Frederick IV King of
Denmark resolved upon
sending some
missionaries to
Tranquebar situated on
the Coast of Coramandel
Travel ship of Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg
"Princess Sophia Hedwig"
The coramandal
coast from
Nangur to
Nagapattinam.
4. The 27th of December they entered the Spanish seas, whose towering billows
received them very stoutly, the ship seeming as it were carried through a deep
vale between two lofty mountains. The sights they had of the marvelous works
of God cheered up their spirits very much. And the more the storms and the
roarings of the seas broke in upon them the more increased the joy and praise
of God upon their mouths seeing that they have such potent and powerful
Lord for their Father whom they may daily approach, and as confident children,
put up prayers and petitions to Him. While sailing by Turkish Barbary, they
were in danger of pirates; but under God’s protection they happily touched the
Canary Islands.
They had contrary winds for about 8 weeks together, and were driven quite
upon the coasts of America where they were in danger of suffering shipwreck.
But by the help of God they safely got over this difficulty; which caused such
an extraordinary joy in the whole company, that the next day was not only kept
as a day of thanksgiving, but they had also a considerable collection made for
the benefit of the poor.
For the nearer they touched upon the very brink of death, the more they
endeavoured thoroughly to acquaint themselves with the great God, and to
adore Him in spirit and truth; that they might be ready prepared, whenever
the Lord should be pleased to bury them in the merciless waves of the sea.
5. Morning, noon and night they usually had some exercises of piety in the
ship discoursing of the word of God, praying and singing and praising the
Lord for all his wonderful mercies vouchsafed to them. And this proved an
excitement to many others that they were about them. Sometimes they
endeavoured to praise God with a concert of music, both vocal and
instrumental, and by some melodious hymns to praise and magnify the
Lord.
They found not a little satisfaction in viewing the wonders of God,
gloriously displayed in the seas. The various sorts of fishes had afforded
them many an innocent sport and diversion. It often seemed, as if a whole
multitude was gathered together in the sea, with intent to storm the ship.
Some marched in great stomp and state, accompanied with a large train of
lesser ones. They caught a great many of those that are called Hayen.
Some of them are six yards long, having six rows of teeth in their mouth,
which is under the belly. Their skin is of the thickness of a finger. Their
strength exceeds that of many men, and they together with their
attendance are very pleasant to look on. They were drawn up by ropes into
the ship. In warm weather they saw everyday flying-fishes hovering about
them in great numbers.
6. Near the Line, a so called Sea-Devil swimming up to them roved all day long
about their ship. But they could not take him. He had great horns in
thickness and length equally proportioned and as for the rest very ghastly
to look on. They saw birds of many differing sorts
Beyond the Cape of Good Hope, they had almost nothing else but thunder,
lightening and hail with such a violent storm. One time the upper-part of
the main-mast was split into three pieces and in the cabin everything was
broken with prodigious violence which might have proved very fatal to
them if the Lord had not been pleased to prevent it to their no small
astonishment.
When they came to the Maldive Islands, their ship was daily stored with
abundance of birds, of so dull a nature, that they of their own accord flew
into their hands or lighting down near them would play with them. Nay,
they by no means would be turned off , till they by force be driven away.
7. At one critical juncture of time, the wind blew so violent, that the ship like
an arrow, cut its way through the midst of the waves. And it was, then
when their men cried out all on a sudden, that large sand banks were just
before them. this they should not at all had been sensible of, if the wind
had not been so boisterous and with vehement battering and beating back
of the waves, had not made such a prodigious echoing and roaring noise.
Soon they came into the sight of Ceylon where the elephants were walking
on the shoar. At last their toils and fatigues ended in a happy arrival at
Tranquebar on
the 9th of July 1706.
Neither Ziegenbalg nor
Plutschau then knew
that a totally
unexpected, cold and
inimical reception from
the Danes in
Tranquebar would
await them.
8. They were not allowed to disembark the ship, which laid anchored a few
miles away from the coast. The Captain of this ship had his own
displeasures and ill-feelings towards Ziegenbalg because, Ziegenbalg saved
a lady, who boarded the ship in Cape of Good Hope, when the Captain was
about to molest her on board the ship. So the captain wreaked his
vengeance by not sending the boats to carry the missionaries to the land.
Only the fisherfolk, the first Tamil people, helped to carry them to the
shore. From then on, it was the turn of Hassius to harass the missionaries.
“To lead one soul
from among the
heathen to God is as
much as if, in Europe,
one brought a
hundred, for here the
means and
opportunities abound
and there they have
none.”
Dr. Breithaupt of Halle
9. This was the oldest school in Tranquebar, dating back to
the arrival of the Lutheran missionaries in the first
decade of the eighteenth century. In fact, the building
used as a prayer hall had originally been built and used
as a school by the German missionary, Bartholomäus
Ziegenbalg
Ziegenbalg managed to run
schools and to construct a
church, within a couple of years
of his arrival in Tranquebar. Three
schools started breathing the air
of academic and religious fervour
in Tranquebar.
One Dano-Portuguese school,
under a Danish master, the
second, a German-Portuguese
school, under Plutschau and the
third, a Tamil school under
Ziegenbalg and a native baptized
teacher started to carry out the
missionary duties. In all these
schools, the children were given
food drink, clothes and books
freely at their expense of
missionaries because they were
so fond of the children. They
hoped that they can easily make
children witnesses for Christ.
“We firmly think that the children are the true nursery in
which we can raise the seedlings as we wish. We dream that
one day our children will become able teachers and catechists
and help this work to grow further and further” Ziegenbalg
10. What an amount of acute paucity of funds did Ziegenbalg suffer from will
become more clear from his own words:
"Though this, like everything else was begun with great want of funds, yet
God has never put our faith and confidence in Him to shame; for we have
never been obliged to give up any of these institutions, though we were
often hard pressed, and many a time knew not in the evening how we
should provide for the next day."
One fateful morning, a Danish ship laid anchored on the shores of
Tranquebar with a money chest containing. 2000 Rix dollars for the
mission. When the local fisherfolk carefully dragged the boat containing
the mission money, the drunken captain of the ship, who, it is inferred,
under direction from Hassius to drown this money chest, sprang on these
fisherfolk with a drawn dagger and purposely let this boat to capsize.“
"Ziegenbalg and Plutschau took counsel together. A glance into the Bible,
opened at random, decided the issue. Their eyes fell upon the verses in the
twelfth chapter of the Epistle to the Romans : 'Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but
rather give place unto wrath ; for it is written, vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine
enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink. For in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.’
11. Whenever Hassius reproached Ziegenbalg, the latter approached the
former with love and forgiveness. When Hassius approached Ziegenbalg
with anger, authority, force and punishment, Ziegenbalg received him with
stretched hands of love, generosity, forgiveness and kindness.
“ God alone,” wrote Ziegenbalg, “ is here able to do the work by His power,
and make that possible which appears to our eyes altogether impossible.”
In little over two years Ziegenbalg had established in Tranquebar a firm
base of missionary operations. When at times Ziegenbalg took a walk in the
country, he was surrounded with
hundreds of Malabarians to whom
he preached whenever he pleased.
Ziegenbalg was made to undergo
rigorous imprisonment in the jail.
Hassius ordered that a small cabin,
very close to the kitchen be made
his prison cell. In this prison cell,
Ziegenbalg's health worsened. Arrest of Ziegenbalg.
12. Hassius provoked compassion in the hearts of the Europeans. Two German
soldiers Johann Georg Mann and Christian Ludwig, secretly met Ziegenbalg
and gave him papers and pencil. 717 closely written pages of the Quarto
size were the result of this imprisonment. Even if Ziegenbalg were to be in
the mission house, he could not have written so much. "The God-pleasing
State of a Christian' and "The God-pleasing Profession of Teaching" were
what Ziegenbalg wrote in those 717 pages. He considered the period of
imprisonment as a heaven of peace and solitude.
Ziegenbalg celebrated the New Year of 1709 in his prison and he also sent
greetings to Hassius. Ziegenbalg invited the Commandant and his wife for a
dinner in the prison and had there a discussion for seven hours and at the
end, Ziegenbalg and Hassius embraced one another. Ziegenbalg was
released from the prison after this historic reconciliation.
"No one among the soldiers could speak one word with him. Through
silence the missionary's spirit was to be broken and the unmerciful solitude
in the terrible heat of his cell was to rob him of the power of resistance and
was to ruin his health. If the prison doors would ever be opened to him, he
would leave as a human wreck“
13. After this the Missionaries passed five very anxious months. Their school-
children must be fed, their servants must be paid, and they themselves
must live, and yet they received no money; even their salary was for some
time withheld. Their only resource was to call upon God in prayer. This they
did faithfully and the Lord helped them faithfully.
A person, from whom they had least expected it, brought them 40 Rix-
dollars on the condition that they should repay them as soon as the ship
should arrive from Denmark, and some one else lent them 20 dollars
on the same conditions. In this way they collected 200 dollars from
different quarters, and did not suffer from actual want.
On the 6th of March 1707 a Brahmin who was considered very wise and
learned came to Ziegenbalg to have a talk on religion.
In that talk the Brahman said "Our religion is the oldest of all religions.
Many pious kings have reigned over us, and we have had many holy
prophets and learned men. Would God have allowed our religion to spread
so far and to stand for so long, had it been false?“
14. Ziegenbalg replied, " The truth of a religion does not depend on its
antiquity or on the number of its adherents. The devil and sin are both old,
and govern a large part of the world: but it would be wrong therefore to
say that the devil is pious and that sin is pleasing to God."
Ziegenbalg then made Christ known to him, spoke with him on the
extension of the kingdom of Christ, showed him that it had been
announced to them before, and that it had now come to him, and exhorted
him to be obedient to the voice of God and to believe in his only begotten.
Finally Ziegenbalg told him, "I have represented the necessity of this faith
to you by my words; but I cannot give you that faith in Christ. Go and
humble yourself before the God of heaven and earth, and pray to him to
enlighten you by the word you have now heard, and then you will believe
in Christ, and recognize him as your Saviour.“
On the 5th of July 1707, a Mohammedan priest with several of his
followers came to see Ziegenbalg. Mohammedan priest said, " You
Christians believe in three Gods, we believe in one.”
15. Ziegenbalg replied, "We do not distinguish three Gods, but three persons in
one divine Being, namely, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, so that it may be
truly said of each person that he is very God and yet there are not three
Gods but one God.“
Mohammadan: "How can you prove this?“
Ziegenbalg: "I will give you a simile. We see but one sun in heaven, and yet
we are aware of three things in it; —there is the body of the sun, the lustre
which it throws out, and the warmth from the lustre. These three things
are so connected that we could not have the warmth without the light, nor
the light if there were no body of the sun there. Now though these three
things are produced by the sun, no one would say that the sun is threefold;
but all would agree that there is but one sun. So the Divine Being is but
one, yet it consists of three persons, who are so united, that any one who
despises the Holy Ghost, cannot acknowledge the Son, and whoever does
not believe in and acknowledge the Son, cannot believe in or acknowledge
the Father. Therefore though you profess to believe in one God, the Creator
of heaven and earth, you cannot be saved unless you also believe in his Son
Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world.
