2 2 MOBC FAITH DEVELOPMENT!! May 24 August 29, 2015 PENTECOST, the fiftieth day after Easter, comes from the Greek word for fiftieth, pentekoste. Greek-speaking Jews called the Jewish Feast of Weeks the Day of Pentecost. Acts 2 tells how the anxious and fearful disciples, who had gathered on the Day of Pentecost, were filled with the Holy Spirit and thereafter preached boldly the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the day on which the church received the Holy Spirit. COLORS FOR PENTECOST: RED OR RED ON WHITE. RED, THE COLOR OF FIRE, REPRESENTS THE HOLY SPIRIT. Theme For This Quarter: HOW TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR HEART Perhaps while reading the announcements you realized you have never made a Christian commitment. Don t delay that decision! We encourage you to embrace God s love today and receive the salvation that only Jesus Christ gives. Here are five simple steps you can take to find assurance of salvation. GOD S PROPHETS DEMAND JUSTICE This quarter has three units justice and injustice. These lessons, covering seven different prophets, investigate the perpetrators of injustice, the nature of injustice, and the victims of injustice. It steadily moves toward repentance, redemption, and restoration. 1. Recognize your need. The Bible tell us that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Rom. 3:23) All of us are sinners, and we must admit our need for a Savior. UNIT 1 -- AMOS RAILS AGAINST INJUSTIC This is a four lesson study of 1 Corinthians. This is a careful study of the final chapters of Paul s letter to the church in Corinth. These lessons move the learners to see the connection between loving one another and living as Christ s witness in the world. 2. Repent of your sins. Our sins create a wall that separates us from God. By confessing our sins and turning from them, you will find forgiveness. The Bible promises: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). NEXT WEEK S LESSON: Rebuked for Selfishness June 21, 2015 Amos 6:4-8, Some people care only about accumulating lavish possessions for themselves and care nothing for those who possess little. What happens to greedy and selfish people? God will dispossess the greedy and selfish and thus demonstrate His justice. MONDAY: Israel s Guilt and Punishment Amos 3:1-11 TUESDAY: Jeroboam II s Reign 2 Kings 14:23-28 WEDNESDAY: Israel Carried Captive to Assyria 2 Kings 17:5-23 THURSDAY: Judah Carried Captive to Babylon 2 Kings 25:1-21 FRIDAY: Warning to Rich Oppressors James 5:1-6 SATURDAY: The Deserted City Lamentations 1 SUNDAY: God Has Got a Plan for This Jeremiah 29: Believe in Jesus. God sent His only Son to die so that He could pay for all our sins. Put your faith in Him and believe in His power to save you. The Bible says, For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16). 4. Receive His salvation. God has given us a great gift in His Son, but we must receive His gift. Thank Him for loving and forgiving you, and ask Him to live in your heart. His promise to us is clear: But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God (John 1:12). 5. Confess your faith. The Bible assures us: If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Rom. 10:9). You have been born again and are now part of God s family. Tell some one else what Jesus has done in your life! Sermon Highlights 19th Pastoral Anniversary June 7, 2015 Bible Institute Rev.
