Use this resource individually or in groups to grow in intimacy with Christ as you engage the world around you with the hope and love of Christ.

But this is definitely not the case." "Many historians and religious scholars, some quoted in this publication, attest to the influence of Greek or Platonic philosophy in the development and acceptance of the Trinity doctrine in the fourth century." God the Father is the One who calls us to baptism and a new way of life (John 6:44, 65), and it is His goodness that leads us to repentance and baptism (Romans 2:4). "As even the New Catholic Encyclopedia, quoted from earlier, acknowledges: “The majority of New Testament texts reveal God’s spirit as something, not someone; this is especially seen in the parallelism between the spirit and the power of God..."

Download or read book Seated with Christ written by Heather Holleman and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians find themselves trapped in the rhetoric of platform, influence, retweets, and fame, they need a ladder out of the fray. Many of us live in a prison of self-absorption. Shackled with pride and despair, we compare ourselves to others constantly in our frantic, unending pursuit of perfection. Seated with Christ gets to the root of this behavior and charts a path to freedom. Scripture says that God’s beloved are seated with Christ in the heavens (Eph. 2:6), treasured by Him and given a place at His table. Heather Holleman unveils what this means for us. It means we walk out on the fight for acceptance. We quit measuring ourselves to others.We leap free from cycles of shame. Securely-seated people can ask themselves hard questions about their lives; they can deal with sin, grieve their losses, and move forward in hope. From a position of security and self-forgetfulness they can joyfully do the good works prepared for them uniquely. They can even celebrate the successes of others. Seated with Christ is a deeply personal, liberating look at a glorious truth: that we have a place at God's eternal table.

Download or read book Sent by Jesus written by Angela Crudupt and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-28 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians, God uses our experience and even our pain to develop our purpose in Him, strengthen the Church, and glorify His Kingdom. When we face tragedies like physical, sexual, mental, or verbal abuse, life-threating illnesses, death of a loved one, single parenthood, failed marriages, broken relationships, imprisonment, or other unfavorable circumstances, we assume we are in an isolated, unique situation. If left unchecked, our emotions can cause us to become bitter, judgmental, and spiritually lost. Instead of bringing people to Christ by overcoming our challenges and allowing our testimony to strengthen others, we begin to operate in destructive behavior which not only hinder our spiritual maturity but, those around us as well. Out of ignorance, not fully understanding the Healing, Saving and Miracle-working power available to us through Jesus Christ, we can easily spiral downward. Instead of using our experience to glorify God - who has already planned to bring us out - and strengthen and support each other in our common challenges, too often we take destructive actions: we accept abuse or become abusive, diminish our self-worth, become gossipers and complainers, vow to never love again, disconnect emotionally, dismiss our family, become a distraction in our church, post attention-seeking comments and images on social media, entertain thoughts of suicide or give up on our future, goals, purpose, and Jesus altogether. But the story of our struggles and challenges doesn't have to take such a destructive path. By holding ourselves accountable, using the power of the Holy Spirit given to us, and elevating ourselves to a higher level in Jesus Christ, we can operate in the calling God has given us, make disciples, strengthen the Church, and build His Kingdom - the purpose which is found in being "Sent by Jesus."

Download or read book John s Gospel written by Ralph F. Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gospel written by the Beloved Disciple St. Augustine once said about the Gospel of John, that, "It is shallow enough for a child not to drown, yet deep enough for an elephant to swim in it." John contains the Bible's favorite verse - John 3:16. John's themes are essential to our understanding of Jesus as Son of God and Messiah. Here we learn about the Holy Spirit, the Counselor who lives within us to guide and empower us. We learn about the Father's love and eternal life. Some of the most beloved stories of Jesus' ministry are found only in the Fourth Gospel -- changing the water into wine, the woman at the well, the woman taken in adultery, raising Lazarus, washing the disciples' feet, and many more. In John's Gospel you find Jesus as the Bread of Life; the Light of the World; the Good Shepherd; the Way, the Truth, and the Life. John's Gospel is lengthy - 21 chapters, but rich and deep. Each chapter concludes with a summary of lessons for disciples to ponder. This study's helpful thought and discussion questions make it useful for personal enrichment and by small groups and classes. Extensive research contained in the footnotes makes it a goldmine for teachers and a boon to preachers involved in sermon preparation.
