Christian recovery homes are growing and helping addicts recover through fellowship, prayer, Bible study, and finding God. These homes model the practices of early Christians described in Acts, including fellowship, breaking bread together, prayer meetings and attending church. They help newcomers establish relationships with God by accepting Jesus Christ. These homes are led by people who teach that believing in God, accepting Jesus, renewing one's mind with scripture, and helping others can lead to salvation, healing, assurance of eternal life, and carrying the message to others seeking God's help. The author plans to list Christian recovery homes that are effective in these areas and growing in outreach and service to God by spreading the message of freedom.

1) Sunday became the primary day of worship for Christians because it was the day Jesus rose from the dead. The resurrection proved Jesus' deity and authenticated his teachings.
2) Acts 20:7 shows that the early church gathered for communion and preaching on Sundays. Sunday was also the day Christians brought offerings to the church.
3) Sunday commemorates deliverance from the law. Christians are saved by grace through faith, not works, so Sunday celebrates being freed from Sabbath requirements and obligations to the law. While private worship can occur daily, Sunday provides an appropriate day for public worship.Basic facts about Judiasm

The denomination in the United States was influenced by the leadership of Barton Warren Stone (1772-1844), a former Presbyterian minister.

Christian Symbols
A common Christian symbol is a cross. It is a significant symbol for many reasons. The cross symbolizes the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It also signifies the devotion of God to sacrifice his only son for the redemption of the human race. Crosses were used before the Christian era; however, their use cannot be labelled as faith-based or not. The widespread use of the cross began in the 4th century when emperor Constantine became a Christian, prohibited the death penalty by crucifixion, and promoted the cross as a symbol of Christianity. The cross has been used by many popular figures, including the pope, who is the head of the catholic church, where it forms part of the regalia and paraphernalia. Christians use the cross in many ways. Some Christians use it for prayer, while others use it as a protective tool against evil spirits. It is also worn as an expression of faith.
Sacred Scriptures
Many scriptures in the Bible guide the practice of Christianity. Every scripture in the Bible is regarded as sacred because the Bible is said to contain a word from God. The scriptures are divided into two; the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament gives a synopsis of the history of Christianity, a revelation of God's heart, and provides the foundational basis for comprehending the New Testament. On the other hand, the New Testament disseminates the life and significance of Jesus and his mission on earth and guides the practice of Christianity. They facilitate the various stages of Christianity, such as salvation, death, growth in spiritualism, baptism by water, and the spirit of the Holy Ghost. Therefore, these sacred scriptures play a significant role in churches.
Beliefs and Practices
Salvation and redemption are significant tenets of Christianity. The religion by itself alludes to followers of Christ dedicated to living a righteous life and abiding by the dictates of God's kingdom. However, to qualify as a Christian believer, the son of God, you need to be reborn. To be reborn is a metaphor symbolizing accepting salvation, abandoning the old life, and embracing the new life under the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Salvation and redemption are significant phases in Christianity. The scriptures indicate that a person can only go to heaven after accepting Christ as lord and personal savior. That is the ticket to heaven and the afterlife. When people die without salvation and redemption, the religion presupposes an afterlife in hell full of suffering and tribulations. Going to heaven is the objective of Christianity, and it is only through salvation that an individual is qualified to go to heaven after death.
Prayer and Worship
The notion of prayer and worship is a critical aspect of Christianity. Every religion has ways of appeasing its gods through songs and invocations (Ruth and Lim Swee Hong, 2021, 87). The religion h.

This paper examines the Eastern Orthodox view of baptism by looking at the meaning, process, subjects, and ritual of baptism from an Orthodox perspective and comparing it to Baptist views. For Orthodox Christians, baptism means participation in worship and inclusion into the church body. It inducts one not just physically but into worship. Baptism incorporates the individual into God's kingdom. Infant baptism is practiced, tracing its roots to Jewish circumcision rites. The baptismal ritual includes chrismation, an anointing seen as inseparable from baptism that seals the recipient with the Holy Spirit. Baptist views differ in emphasizing baptism as a symbol of personal faith and restricting it to confessing believers, usually adultsPerspectives Lesson Five: Unleashing the Gospel -- 202002

In this lesson we will see how God launched the World Christian movement. We will discover that the Church is a double structure that endures to this day. We will watch how ordinary people chose a strategy of suffering which they learned from Jesus and will consider how we can live with that same apostolic passion. We will examine the biblical grounds of hope for an enormous in-gathering at the end of the age.

Smith established the LDS Church and wrote the Articles of Faith to clarify the church's teachings amid confusion and misunderstanding about its doctrines. The Articles of Faith cover key beliefs including God, Jesus Christ, scripture study, prophets, and eternal life.06.15.14.god.just.ez.18.commentary

God is always just in how he judges people. The Israelites were wrongly claiming that they were suffering unjustly for the sins of past generations, but Ezekiel explains that each person is responsible for their own sins, not the sins of others. God judges each person based on their own righteousness or wickedness, not that of their ancestors. The passage teaches that individuals will face consequences for their own actions, not the actions of others, because God is fair and just in his judgments.An Open Bible

This document discusses imagining a more inclusive future for the Bible. It summarizes Gregory Jenks' previous work on this topic and explores further how the Bible could be used with confidence in today's complex world. Jenks argues that the Bible has never had a single, fixed form and proposes imagining it with a more open canon that reflects the inclusive nature of early Christian communities centered around open table fellowship.NALC Conference - Promoting Encounters and Accompanying People on the Journeyion

It then discusses analyzing who is and isn't attending mass to understand how to reach more people. It emphasizes the importance of a personal relationship with Christ over inherited faith. The rest of the document discusses examples of how one parish, St. Monica, has tried different initiatives like Bible studies, men's and women's groups, and intentional discipleship pathways to help parishioners grow closer to God through liturgy, service, and scripture. It analyzes the parish's metrics over time to evaluate what efforts seem to be working to increase participation and faith.Christianity

This document provides an overview of Christianity including its history, beliefs, practices, and moral values. It discusses:
1. Christianity began with Jesus Christ, a Jew who was baptized by John the Baptist and began a ministry of teaching and performing miracles in Palestine. He was crucified but his followers believed he rose from the dead.
2. Central Christian beliefs include the Trinity of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that Jesus was both fully human and divine. Salvation comes through Jesus, and the Church continues his work through sacraments.
3. Christians celebrate holidays like Christmas and Easter, attend church services, pray, and read the Bible as their holy text which informs theirRecently uploaded (20)

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Ephesians 6:1-3 Honour thy father with thy whole heart, and forget not the sorrows of thy mother. Remember that thou wast begotten of them; and how canst thou recompense them the things that they have done for thee? Ecclesiasticus 7:27-28Free from prison mean have a freedom and eternal life

Spiritual Freedom: Spiritually, being "free from prison" refers to liberation from the bondage of sin. The Bible describes sin as a form of captivity that can imprison the soul. Jesus' sacrifice is seen as the key to unlocking this prison, offering forgiveness, healing, and freedom.
Isaiah 61:1 (NIV): "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners."
John 8:36 (NIV): "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."Sabbath School Lesson 9, 1st Quarter 2025.pptx

This presentation focuses on the spiritual battles we face in life and how, through faith, prayer, and obedience to God, we can emerge victorious. Drawing from powerful biblical stories like Cain and Abel, and examples such as Esther, the presentation explores key Christian lessons on trusting in Gods plan.
The core message revolves around three key actions:
Putting on the Armor of God daily, as described in Ephesians 6, to spiritually equip ourselves for lifes challenges.
Trusting in Gods plan, knowing that He works all things for our good.
Continuing in prayer as a means to maintain connection with God and seek His guidance.
With personal anecdotes, scripture references, and a powerful conclusion reminding the audience that the battle belongs to the Lord, the presentation emphasizes that victory is assured when we align ourselves with Gods power.
The visuals guide the audience through the journeystarting from the spiritual warfare we face, through biblical examples of triumph, to the ultimate victory in Christ. Through these lessons, the audience is encouraged to strengthen their faith and trust in God to fight their battles.Viral: Acts 2.22-36_Peter's Sermon_Part 2.pptx

In Acts 2:22-36 Peter concludes his sermon on Pentecost Sunday. This is the sermon that launched the Church. We find that the Peter who once shrank back and even denied Jesus is now confident, bold and impassioned. Peter lays out three proofs of Jesus Good News, the Gospel. He does so through citing eyewitness testimony of the resurrection and ascension of Jesus and by citing prophetic texts that were fulfilled by Jesus. He shows us that the Gospel of Jesus is a proven fact!NoHo First UMC Good News Newsletter March 2025

- 1. DICK B.: THE REAL "POWER" BEHIND ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS THE POWER OF ALMIGHTY GOD -- 2011 THE BEST RECOVERY BLOGS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 06, 2014 Christian Recovery Residential Homes are Growing, Providing Fellowship, and helping newcomers "find" God Christian Recovery Residential Homes can be a unique way of helping alcoholics and addicts recover by following the lead of First Century Christians as described in the Book of Acts. We will soon be listing and describing some that do the job quite well: (1) Fellowship with God, His Son Jesus Christ, and children of the living Creator. (2) Breaking bread together. (3) Studying the Word of God together. (4) Prayer meetings. (5) Attendance at Christian church of choice. (6) Learning how the early Akron A.A. Christians witnessed together, converted together, and led many a newcomer to establish his relationship with God through accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. (7) Blessed by leaders who make it clear how, by belief in God, by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, by renewing their minds with the Word of God, and by helping others be saved, be healed, be renewed, be assured of eternal life, and by carrying the message on to those who want God's help. Lots more on how Christian Recovery Residential Homes are growing in number, in outreach, in experience, and in service to God as they learn how the Christians of the apostolic period help spread the message of freedom to many parts of the world.
