1 like2,204 views
God spoke to Moses and delivered the Ten Commandments. The first commandment establishes that the Israelites must have no other gods before God, who freed them from slavery in Egypt. This commandment is followed by prohibitions against idolatry and taking God's name in vain, as well as requirements to observe the Sabbath and honor one's parents. The commandments lay out moral laws against murder, adultery, theft, false witness, and coveting.

1) Jesus tells a parable about a fig tree that was planted in a vineyard but produced no fruit for three years, despite being in a protected location and receiving care.
2) The owner decides to cut it down since it is not fulfilling its purpose of producing fruit, but the vinedresser pleads for one more year to dig around it and fertilize it in hopes it will then bear fruit.
3) The parable teaches that God expects believers to bear fruit and be useful for his kingdom, but he also shows patience and gives people more chances to change through the intercession of Jesus.The Ten Commandments

For the money has failed." There are a number of reasons that money fails.

Abiding in Jesus is vital to maintaining full joy in Him.

The document presents multiple Bible verses that indicate God will judge all people based on their deeds and works, not just on faith alone. God searches people's hearts and minds, and will repay each person according to what they have done. All will stand before God and be judged for the good or evil things done in their life. The quality and motivations of each person's works will be revealed and tested by fire, and people will be rewarded or suffer loss based on whether their works survive. The goal for Christians is to please God by the good or evil done in their earthly body, as all must stand before Christ to be judged.Ruth 2a Character Matters

Near the end of earth's history, Satan will tempt God's people just as he did ancient Israel before they entered the promised land. He will lay snares to entrap souls on their weakest points. Those who have not controlled their passions will be destroyed by Satan's temptations and polluted with licentiousness.

He reminds them of their history, including their rebellion in worshipping the golden calf after God delivered the Ten Commandments to them at Mount Sinai. However, God in his mercy had Moses carve two replacement stone tablets.

God was angry with the Israelites for worshipping idols and offered to kill them all and start over with just Moses. However, God relented and would no longer travel in their midst, as the people were stubbornly disobedient. When the people heard this, they mourned. Moses then pitched a tent outside of the camp where he would meet with God, and the people would go there to seek God. A pillar of cloud would descend at the entrance to the tent when Moses went inside to speak with God.Gods judgment on earth

The document outlines a 5-step process from God's judgment on earth that culminates in total destruction if there is no repentance. It provides numerous examples from the Bible where God gives opportunities for repentance over 3-4 instances, but then fully judges on the fifth instance. The wrath of God is revealed in a progression where he removes his protections and allows greater evils at each step if the subjects do not turn from their sins.The Ten Commandments

The document summarizes the Ten Commandments given to Moses by God on Mount Sinai as recorded in Exodus 20:1-17. It describes each of the ten commandments which prohibit idolatry, taking God's name in vain, breaking the Sabbath, dishonoring parents, murder, adultery, stealing, false witness, and coveting. It explains that after the commandments were given, the people were afraid of God speaking directly to them and asked Moses to be their mediator instead. God then instructed the people not to make idols and to build an altar of earth or stone for sacrifices to approach God through shed blood.Where two or three are gathered together in my name

1. While Jesus is present when Christians gather in His name, the Bible also says He walks among the churches and will always be with believers, indicating He desires relationship with individuals as well as groups.
2. God wants to dwell with His people individually and collectively. Jesus promises to be with believers always, even until the end of the age.
3. Those who are not Christians can still find God's presence when gathering with other believers seeking truth, as Jesus draws all people to Himself. God desires relationship with all people. Covetousness and Contentment
Covetousness and ContentmentLifeJunxion
油
This document contrasts covetousness and contentment. It defines covetousness as a sinful longing for what others have that is forbidden by the 10th commandment. Covetousness stems from pride and leads to idolatry by making material possessions or status the focus rather than God. Contentment, on the other hand, is finding satisfaction in what God has provided through trusting in His care and provision. The document provides numerous Bible verses condemning covetousness and promoting contentment.Walking in abundance
Walking in abundanceSean Badiru
油
This passage from Matthew 6:19-33 contains Jesus' teachings about not worrying and having faith that God will provide for one's needs. Some key points include:
- Do not store up riches on earth where they can be destroyed, but rather store them in heaven through good works.
- You cannot serve both God and money; you will be devoted to one and despise the other.
- Do not worry about basic needs like food and clothing, but rather focus first on God's kingdom and righteousness. God knows you need these things and will provide for you.Sexual Blunders

The document discusses idolatry from both a biblical and modern perspective. It defines idolatry as worshipping anything other than God, including worship of other gods, carved images, or excessive admiration of created things. The Bible passages cited warn that idolatry is putting anything before God and show it has dire consequences like exclusion from God's kingdom. Examples of modern idolatry given include lusts of the flesh, love of money or prestige, and stubbornness.

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.

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)
