Solomon had great wealth and opportunities but was not satisfied or fulfilled. Even having everything we could want would not necessarily make us happy. The greatest commandments are to love God with all our being and love others. We are warned that desires can lead us away from God if we love anything more than him. God wants us to shift from living self-centered lives to living God-centered lives focused on him and others. He accomplishes this by revealing Jesus, who is more worthy of our love and inspires a love that can transform us.The amazing grace of god rom
The amazing grace of god romLarry Tomlin

Grace is God's answer to sin and is not a license to sin. Grace meets the problem of sin that was introduced in the world nearly 2,000 years ago and can do so today. Grace is the cure for, not the cause of, condemnation. It excludes boasting and does not free us from responsibility or acts of obedience, as shown through examples like Noah and the Ephesians. Christians who continue willfully sinning insult the Spirit of grace and fail to receive it.Balance
BalanceMichael Smith
油
God wants us to live balanced lives. When personal life is not balanced, it leads to frustration and fatigue. The Bible says we need balance in five areas: mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, and social. To achieve balance, we should take inventory of our lives, write a plan of action with goals, and establish Christ at the center of our life. Putting Jesus at the center through hearing, believing, repenting, confessing, and obeying Him can bring balance.Effective Stewardship - Session 5

The document discusses the concept of accountability and addresses several questions on this topic. It defines accountability as actions being measured against a standard to determine if they are right or wrong. People are accountable to God, and the standard we are measured by is the Bible. The Bible teaches that we must believe, repent of sins, be baptized, confess faith in Jesus, and faithfully obey God's commands. We become accountable when we understand these concepts. There is no single age of accountability, as people learn at different rates. Those unable to comprehend these biblical teachings, such as young children or those with intellectual disabilities, would not be held accountable in the same way.Wired to give

The guide includes reflections on verses from the Bible about not worrying about the future, living in the present, and making the most of opportunities. It cautions against an unhealthy focus on the past or future that prevents experiencing God in the moment. The discussion guide encourages participants to prioritize relationships with God and family and make better use of their time.Growing in God 4

The document discusses four foundational Christian practices: fellowship, witnessing, giving, and serving. It defines fellowship as intimate sharing of life with other Christians to meet social, emotional, and spiritual needs. Witnessing is sharing the gospel through lifestyle, personal experience with Christ, and clear proclamation of the message. Giving guidelines include giving systematically, proportionately, generously, and to one's local church and missions. Serving involves both desiring great things for God but being willing to start with menial tasks, as greatness comes through service not position. These practices build Christians up in their faith.2 Peter study
