In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus gave His disciples the Great Commission, a command to go and make disciples of all nations. If Christians are going to live on mission and fulfill the Great Commission, we must engage the world, build relationships, and have intentional gospel conversations. But how do we do this? The good news is we have the perfect model in Jesus. In Experiencing Jesus through the Eyes of the Samaritan Woman, Sawyer examines John 4 and the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman--how Jesus engaged the woman, starting with a general conversation that led to a gospel conversation; how this woman's life was radically changed through her experience with Jesus as He engaged her through intentionality, love and compassion, fellowship, and finally, truth. Sawyer also examines how this story reveals to Christians today how Jesus is our model evangelist and that if we, as His disciples, would follow Jesus's example, we can learn how to live with missional intentionality. This beautiful story is an example of how Christians can engage the world with the good news of the gospel through intentional relationships that leads to gospel conversations following the model Jesus provided through this story. There is no better way to learn how to live on mission than by watching the Master, Jesus, in action as He engages this woman.This book provides a blueprint for missional living because it encompasses all aspects of missional living such as being intentional, the art of listening, showing love and compassion, Christian fellowship, proclaiming the truth of the gospel, and making disciples. This book will give Christians more confidence as we go out, live on mission, and engage the world with the gospel of Jesus.

The devil uses these different spirits to attack your life. It takes prayer and deliverance to be free from these different spirits. Most churches recognize these different spirits and do deliverance while some don't. This book will help you recognize these strongmen and how to overcome them with the Word of God, prayer, and deliverance. May God bless you all. Amen!

As I encountered connecting with the Lord, I fell more in love with the Lord. He is my healer, my protector, my strength, and my helper. Stand firm in the faith and let nothing move you. "I love him because he first loved us" (1 John 4:19).

This handbook is designed to help all believers to have a better grasp of the Bible. But it is also written with the Jewish people in mind. Without the Jewish history, there would be no Christianity.John 1:11 declares that Jesus came unto His own (the Jewish people), and His own received Him not (they rejected Jesus as their Messiah). As a result, salvation has come to the Gentile nations (Romans 11:11).The apostle Paul uses an olive tree as a metaphor in Romans 11:24 to explain an integral truth. Paul, in that text, says that we as Gentiles who were considered wild by nature (non-Jews) were grafted into the natural olive tree (Jews), along with the natural branches, through Jesus Christ, who is God's chosen One to reconcile both the Jews and the Gentiles into one covenant. This metaphor speaks not only of two differing races of people uniting together in one covenant, but it speaks to the fact that Judaism and Christianity are dependent upon each other. One cannot do without the other. They are divinely intertwined. Hence, we have the term "Judeo-Christian."God intended that the Jewish nation was to be a prototype of the church body of Jesus Christ. This handbook reveals that process of God's divine plan. It will be obvious as you wade through the pages of this handbook--the unfolding of the plan of God from ages past. It will reveal how God has worked through obstacle after obstacle to produce a solution for all people regardless of religion, race, color, culture, or gender.

Are you surprised at the number of preachers and teachers of God's Word who apparently find it so easy to manipulate the Word just a bit in order to teach their belief instead of the Word of God? This study seeks to demonstrate this tendency via the study of two passages of Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1-7 and Galatians 2:21. Reading the Word of God presents us with what seems to be just the opposite of what some Bible teachers are teaching. For whom did Jesus Christ give himself as a ransom? A second question could be, what would make the death of Christ in vain? The Word of God does give answers to these two questions. Consider this statement: The effectiveness of Christ's work as mediator and ransom payer is never dependent upon the response of any human to that work. Does that sound accurate and biblical? So, listen to the preacher and then test the teaching with the Word of God. Reject the non-biblical teaching and stand upon the statements of the Scriptures.Go ahead! Accept the challenge! What does the Word say?

ChoicesGod's Greatest GiftThe Reason We Are Here on EarthIf God created us as a spirit that was meant to live forever, then why do we have to spend this time on earth in this physical form?

Your Consciousness and Memory--Where Are They Located? Your Physical Death--What Will That Experience Be Like? God--How Do You Know God Is Real? Nothing That Humans Make on Earth Lasts Forever; Why? Is It Hard to Get to Heaven? The purpose of my book is to get you to think about the content in this book and whether you believe this information or not--nothing more!

At a young age, we begin to daydream and imagine how a perfect life might enfold. Naturally, we envision happiness, success, prosperity, and ease. While no one is exempted from walking a simple straight line between the start and end points of A and Z, some must travel a broken path with unforeseen detours. These deviations cause life to appear frightening, when faced with the angst of unknowns and faintness of direction, yet I caution you to believe that God has set us apart to exist at this time in life, orchestrating our lives for purposes that are defined only steps at a time.Our imperfect paths amid His immeasurable and unconditional love serve to balance our willfulness with our obedience and, ultimately, frame our surrender of faith. Whether our conviction is grounded as an oak or rooted only the size of a mustard seed, Jesus knows the depth of our hearts and walks ever so closely, remaining watchful to lead us safely through our journeys as we appeal for the stability of steps.His love is not mortal and, therefore, not flawed. It is safe to surrender to His authoring of our stories as we become His testimony, as divinely purposed of our first breaths.

As we grow up, a lot of times, we have the opportunity to have our grandparents close to us, but when the time comes for our parents to take on that role, it is completely different and more so when we become those grandparents ourselves.

Ellie grew up believing in God through the Catholic church. However, through a series of life events stemming from childhood, she was left to believe she had been abandoned by Him over and over again. She was in her mid-thirties and had just hit the ten-year mark in her marriage when a devastating accident brings on major realizations, causing her to reevaluate her entire perspective on life and her relationship. In trying to find her new purpose and identity and the love and acceptance she has longed for since she was a little girl, she decides to leave her husband and seek fulfillment of the hole left inside of her by the only way she knows how--men. On the surface, she is having the time of her life and enjoys every chase but realizes through each encounter she is still left with a feeling of emptiness and worthlessness that has been there all her life.Desperate for a deeper connection, she falls for a handsome charmer who showers her with affection and promises her everything she's been missing. Before long, she instead finds herself held within the controlling grip of a toxic and abusive relationship, unable to break free from the constant promise of the potential of what could be. Will the trauma of that relationship push her back into her old ways, causing her to give up on real love altogether, or will it inspire her to be on her own, where her eyes and heart might finally be open to see the One who hadn't ever abandoned her at all but instead had been pursuing her with His relentless love all along?

This is a compilation of short stories of different events of my rodeo experiences over the span of approximately five years, off and on. The characters, places, and all the rodeos are true, although the rodeos are not necessarily in the order that they were experienced. The names of the stock and their actual performance per rodeo are a generalization from a lot of years, burnt-out brain cells and an old man's memory.

Trying to find out quickly what a book is all about can be the opposite, and time consuming. I will try to simplify this effort. Here you have a collection of sermons (religious discourses) delivered by a clergyman (minister) while he was at his best, at several churches not long ago.The sermons come in a variety of topics, religious and otherwise.They are easy to read since they are like essays or lectures on a topic. What makes them be called a sermon is the distinction that they are surrounded by the following: a title that is perhaps taken from a verse or paragraph from a book in the Bible and occasionally followed by a brief prayer. Finally, sermons are normally presented at a religious meeting or church. Otherwise, sermons' use can be by the reader's choice of use as a learning experience. In the preface of the book, you will find a composite of most of the topics covered. Here you can select a topic and find out more details covered.As I have read and inputted these sermons for the last few years, then turned around and re-entered them for other reasons, some of the particular messages in the sermons have influenced me as never before. Many times, I have found answers to my questions or views to change in interpretation as I have looked further in alternative possibilities found in the scripture.Finally, by browsing the list of sermon titles for a topic of interest, you may use short-title sermons that logically fit the larger category of topics and begin your journey. Best wishes.

It seemed like a game that I didn't want to partake in, but I had no choice.This game led me to several hospitals where I spent my time asking the hospital staff if they knew where my brother was. They always led me to a room of an almost lifeless man lying in a bed and often looking at me like he was wondering who I was. Where exactly was my brother, the loud, boisterous man that I once knew for fifty-eight years? He was the man that you would hear before you would even see him. I wanted that brother back and wanted him back immediately!I spent ten years searching for my brother and God. It left me exhausted, mad, bitter, and at times, lonely. How would I go about finding them? I would have been happy if I could just find one of them, but who would be more important to me, my brother or God?I couldn't imagine God turning his back on my brother Father Steve, a devout Catholic priest, because I could only envision God taking care of him every step of the way.Would I be fortunate enough to find out that maybe God and my brother were hanging out the whole time searching for me? Maybe I was the one who was lost! If you like stories about faith, family, love, and willpower then this book is for you!

As a leader, you may face many different challenges on your leadership journey. It is rare that leaders take the time to truly reflect on the strength you must have to effectively lead any organization. I believe that it is through reflection that we are able to have quiet time with God, identify our own strengths and areas of growth, and privately revisit the moments we have already overcome through the power of Jesus Christ. It is my hope that this reflective leadership journal inspires, encourages, and increases your faith. For if God carried me through, He will certainly do the same for you. Each day is a blessing and a new opportunity to achieve greatness. Reflect, have faith, and enjoy the journey!
