0 likes804 views
The document contains excerpts from 1 Timothy chapters 1 and 2. In 1 Timothy 1:1-3, Paul introduces himself as an apostle of Christ and urges Timothy to command people not to teach false doctrines in Ephesus. In 1 Timothy 1:12-19, Paul recounts how he was shown mercy by God despite being a blasphemer and persecutor, and how Christ saved him to be an example for believers. Paul commands Timothy in 1 Timothy 1:18-19 to fight well by holding onto faith and conscience, as some have suffered shipwreck by rejecting these.

This document discusses Mormonism and argues that it is deceptive. It makes the following key points:
1) Mormonism appears Christian but has totally different meanings for Christian terminology and hides its true beliefs from followers.
2) Mormon beliefs are based on mystical visions and revelations rather than historical evidence, and its core scriptures like the Book of Abraham have been proven fraudulent.
3) The Mormon gospel focuses on laws and ordinances of the Mormon church rather than the biblical gospel of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins.
4) The document calls followers of Mormonism to base their beliefs on the verifiable truth and historical evidence of the Bible rather than emotions or mysticism.Self Discipline

The document discusses the importance of giving thanks according to both scripture and scientific research. It provides numerous bible verses that encourage thankfulness and giving thanks to God. It also summarizes research showing that grateful people are happier and healthier, with higher levels of positive emotions, life satisfaction, and lower stress. While most thanks should go to God, the document also notes that people should be thankful for others who help them. Overall, the document promotes developing an attitude of gratitude through both religious scripture and scientific findings on the benefits of thankfulness.08 gentleness

1) The document discusses the fruit of the spirit gentleness from Galatians 5:22. It provides examples of gentleness from Saint Francis de Sales and Leo Rosten.
2) The Bible reading is 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12, which describes how Paul shared the gospel with the Thessalonians not for his own gain but out of genuine care and affection for them, nourishing them gently as a mother or father would.
3) Questions are provided for reflection on how to emulate Paul's example of sharing the gospel and ministering to others with purity of motives, vulnerability, and gentleness balanced with urging people to live worthily of God.We are a global country

* How God chooses leaders - Example from Judges.
* "Yahweh says to his anointed (mash脹yach), to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him,
* Moses was chosen by God
(not democratic, because he was rejected by his own people)
* Who is your ruler - the one you elect or the Christ?
* Was Jesus an Anti national?
"So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone; in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;" (Ephesians 2:19-21)
* Which nation do we truly belong to?
Jesus answered, My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldnt be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here. (John 18:36)

The document discusses how Christians should view suffering. It says they should (1) not be surprised by suffering but instead rejoice, as suffering refines faith and purifies character. It also says (2) believers should be willing to suffer for their faith with joy, as suffering is part of the sanctification process. Finally, it says (3) Christians should entrust themselves to God and commit their souls to him while doing what is right, as God is faithful and in control.M2013 s43 raising our boys to become real men part 4 6 9-13 sermon

1) The document discusses how to raise boys to become real men, focusing on being a leader of one's household, having submissive children, being a Christian, having a good testimony with outsiders, and holding firmly to God's word.
2) It emphasizes the importance of ruling one's household with dignity, teaching children to honor and obey their parents, and having one's friends be believers rather than unbelievers.
3) To be considered a real man, one must be a Christian leader who is well thought of by non-Christians and firmly committed to the teachings of Scripture.Suffering for Christ

While Christianity does not promise wealth, health or an absence of suffering, the document notes that living for Christ could mean hardship, persecution, and even greater suffering. Several Bible passages are cited that describe Christians enduring physical torture, imprisonment, poverty, loneliness, the loss of family and possessions, and even death for their faith. However, the document concludes that Christians should not lose hope and should remain faithful to Christ, as suffering in this life will be outweighed by eternal reward.Romans - Life Transformation Journey

The document provides an overview and discussion of the book of Romans from the New Testament. It notes that Romans was written by the Apostle Paul around 56-57 AD to answer questions about salvation, predestination, God's sovereignty, and spiritual growth. Key points include that all have sinned and fall short of God's glory; salvation comes only through faith in God's righteousness; and believers should present their bodies as living sacrifices through holiness and transformed minds rather than conforming to the world.2 Corinthians - Jars of Clay

The document discusses biblical perspectives on money, possessions, and generosity. It provides several "keys" or principles: 1) God owns everything and we are merely stewards of what he provides. 2) Where we put our money reveals where our heart is and determines where it will go. 3) Heaven, not earth, is our true home. 4) We should live not just for short-term pleasures but with an eye to eternal rewards. 5) Giving is the only remedy for materialism and selfish desires. 6) God blesses our generosity not to raise our standard of living but to increase our standard of giving.Galations - No Longer I

The document discusses the key themes of Paul's letter to the Galatians. It notes that Galatians addresses deviations from the pure gospel that were occurring, with some Jews trying to impose traditions on Gentile believers. Paul argues that people are justified by faith in Christ, not by works of the law. The letter emphasizes that through faith in Christ, believers have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer they who live but Christ lives in them. Believers belong to Christ and are heirs according to God's promise.It\'s A Devil of a Message

1) Satan actively works to obstruct and distract believers from following God by employing various schemes, such as driving them to despair, pride, doubt, impure thoughts, and temptation through others.
2) Paul recognized Satan hindered his desire to revisit the Thessalonians, though this obstacle allowed Paul to write them a letter providing comfort, warning, and guidance.
3) Paul found his hope, joy and source of happiness in the future coming of Christ and being reunited with believers like the Thessalonians in God's presence.Vocational C E

2) It explains how to obtain heavenly wisdom by humbling oneself before God, cleansing one's hands and heart of sin, and mourning over one's faults.
3) The reward for those who humble themselves is that God will lift them up and give them grace to overcome temptation and pride.Sermon 際際滷 Deck: "Keeping in Step With the Spirit" (Galatians 5:16-25)

Don't be surprised when -- not if -- you find yourself suffering in God's will -- This will happen! You are folllowing Christ's example of reproving the world with a love for them that hates sin enough to suffer. Paul said that in suffering, you're in God's death-to-Life march, on display for the world to marvel at. So prepare and consider proper suffering the honor it is, that is to be rewarded by Him.08 gentleness

This document discusses how Christians can renew their minds through the transforming power of God. It encourages abstaining from fleshly lusts and focusing instead on living according to the fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace and more. Christians are called to be citizens of heaven while living as strangers on earth, and to let their good works point others to God rather than conforming to worldly ways. Renewing the mind involves setting it on pure and lovely things, walking by the Spirit rather than fulfilling fleshly desires, and allowing one's soul to prosper through following the Spirit rather than human nature.Galatians 5

Paul writes a letter to Timothy instructing him to remain in Ephesus and warn others against false teachings. He encourages Timothy to promote love, faith, and stewardship over myths and empty discussions. Paul explains that while the law is good, it was designed for rebellious people rather than the righteous. He is grateful for God's mercy in forgiving his past sins as a blasphemer. Paul charges Timothy with continuing the prophecies by holding onto faith and a clear conscience, citing two people whose faith was destroyed after abandoning these principles.More Related Content

This document provides information about an upcoming sermon at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi. It includes the sermon title "The Truth of the Gospel" and Bible passages from 1 Timothy about spiritual warfare. It encourages church members to write their personal testimonies and return them so a book can be made for the new pastor. It also includes memory verses for January and February. The sermon notes discuss how Paul was aware of spiritual warfare against Satan, the flesh, and the world. It outlines how the spiritual conflict is ultimately between God and Satan, played out on angelic and human levels. It describes how originally there was no conflict until Lucifer's rebellion in Eden ignited the war.The chief of sinners

The document is an invitation to a seminar on conversational evangelism from October 15-17, 2010 with speaker Edwin Jones. The seminar will focus on practical evangelism and study 1 Timothy 1:12-16. This passage discusses how Paul sees himself as the "chief" of sinners but was shown mercy by Christ Jesus, who came into the world to save sinners. The conclusion is meant to be practical and reassuring for believers.Discipleship

Ephesians 6:12 NKJV
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but
...against principalities,
...against powers,
...against the rulers of the darkness of this age,
...against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
The believer will not stand a chance if he does not put on the FULL armour of God. A partial armour also makes the believer vulnerable.
Let's learn how the enemy attack believers and how the armour of God protect us. Also to claim this privilege of protection that God has given unto each one of us.
Ephesians 6:13 NKJV
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Earthquake in Turkey, flood in Johor, snow in Hollywood...you can name each disaster that may seemed a distance to us physically. One disaster that is closest to ourselves is when it happen to our family.
Come and join us and learn how we can put on this armor corporately and stand firm on His protection and promise.
As you know who we are, a prayer altar. Come and join us who can pray for you behind your back.08 August 28, 2011 Philippians, Chapter One

This document provides a summary of a sermon given on Philippians 1:1. It discusses the key themes of joy and being servants/slaves of Christ. Some main points:
- True joy comes from being at peace with God and others, not from circumstances. It is a gift from God produced by the Holy Spirit.
- Believers are called to be bond-servants or slaves of Christ, willingly submitting to his authority like an Old Testament slave. Paul referred to himself as a bond-servant, though he had great status and credentials.
- At the judgment seat of Christ, believers will be evaluated for rewards based on the eternal works and motives, not saved or unsaved.The blessing and responsibility of teaching

I. Paul's imprisonment spread the gospel message to both believers and nonbelievers. His willingness to suffer for preaching about Christ encouraged other believers to boldly share their faith.
II. Paul wanted to finish the work of telling others the good news about God's grace, even if it meant hardship. His focus was on proclaiming the gospel.
III. Paul was compelled by God to preach the gospel and wanted to ensure believers understood the core message - that Christ died for sins and was resurrected, according to Scripture. He sought opportunities to share the good news.I Have And I Can Do

Believers are called to put on armor, love one another, rejoice, be anxious for nothing, meditate on noble things, and let the word of Christ dwell in them richly.Pa bible verses

When King Hezekiah took the throne, he renewed Judah's commitment to God by repairing the temple and calling on the people to consecrate themselves. During a later crisis when the Assyrians invaded, Hezekiah sent letters urging the people to return to God. He also strengthened defenses and encouraged the people, reminding them that God is more powerful than Assyria. God then delivered a miraculous victory, killing 185,000 Assyrian soldiers. However, later Hezekiah pridefully showed off his riches to Babylonian envoys, incurring God's wrath.19 Oct 2014: "The Divine Favour of God" (Isa 54:6-10)

God is sovereign over all things, including the sufferings of his people, which he uses for good. When Daniel and others were taken captive to Babylon, Daniel resolved not to defile himself by eating the king's food, as it may have been offered to idols. Through prayer and with God's help, Daniel and his friends maintained their faith and integrity, and God gave them superior understanding and knowledge, allowing Daniel to interpret the king's dreams when the king's wise men failed. This showed that God reveals mysteries and controls the affairs of mankind.6 Apr 2014: "Where is your faith?" (Luke 8:22-25)

God's love is eternal and unconditional. Several Bible verses affirm that God loves humanity with an everlasting love that is compassionate, gracious, and slow to anger. God demonstrated his love most clearly through sending Jesus Christ to die for humanity while we were still sinners. When the Gospel is preached in partnership with the Holy Spirit, as seen in Acts, thousands can be saved and lives transformed through healings and conversions as the Spirit guides and empowers the Church. We should seek the Spirit's guidance with obedient hearts as such a partnership is essential for the Church.27 Apr 2014: "Are we Authentic in our Worship?"
