1 Relationships- WEEK 1: Love God, Love One Another Day 1 Look at the following scriptures Matthew 22:36-40 What do these two commands have in common? Jesus emphasizes the importance of relationships. Christianity is founded on relationships, a relationship with God and our relationships with people in the body as well as relationships with the lost world around us. Jesus states that there is no more important thing in life than these two commands. With this in mind, how important is it to develop great relationships? What are some ways that you have seen this already in your life? Write down some thoughts about how you think that you should put this in practice. Day 2 Read John 13:34-35 How should the church be known? Is it possible to call yourself a Christian and not be involved with people? If this is true, how should you be known? This command is new in that the love must be in the way Jesus loves. What is unique about Jesus love? Write down some practical ways that you can love more like Jesus. Day 3 Study Matthew 28:18-20 Acts 20:17-27 Can you follow Christ without developing relationships? There are two roles that each of us must perform if we call ourselves Disciples of Christ. The first responsibility is to continue learning and being taught until we become like Jesus. The second is to teach others what we are learning. Both of these roles should work in all relationships. However there are people who know more or less than you and you will commonly fit into one of those roles more appropriately. Who is helping you to grow? Do they know that you have entrusted them with that responsibility? Are you still hungry to learn? Who are you trying to help?
2 Day 4 Read Ephesians 4:11-16 What is the goal of all relationships in the body? What does it mean to attain to the whole measure of Christ? How can you tell if your relationships are not healthy? No matter how old you are as a disciple what are you supposed to do to strengthen the body? Write down what it means to you to speak the truth in love. Are you putting this into practice? Day 5 and 6 Study the following verses. Colossians 1:28-2:4 Colossians 4:12 2 Timothy 3:16-4:3 What tools do we have for helping each other to grow? Sharing what you have learned from the scriptures and applied to your life can be a very helpful way to help people. What can you share today with one of your brothers or sisters? What can you share with the lost? How much time have you spent praying for each other? Have you made a prayer list? Our labor is a tool that should never be the limiting step. How hard are you laboring in your relationships? How should you labor? What does it mean to correct rebuke and encourage? What should we put these commands into practice? Day 7 Study the following scriptures: James 3: Timothy 2:14-18 Not all relationships even in the body are always helpful. How can you tell if a relationship is not healthy? Note that it is not just the speaking part that is unhealthy; listening is included and destroys those who listen. What is the fruit of a healthy relationship? How should you respond if you are involved in a relationship that is not healthy?
3 Relationships- WEEK 2: Encourage One Another with your Life Day 1 Read Colossians 3:1-11 A Christ-centered mindset and heart does more than just impact us. As you study this section, look at the impact that living by the earthly nature has on others. What does it meant to put these qualities and sins to death? Write down the things in your life that are the most difficult for you to put to death. Note that in verse 11 it is not just actions but sometimes we have a prejudice that must be put to death as well. Day 2 Study Colossians 3:12-14 Not only does the earthly nature impact our relationships, but the qualities that we are supposed to clothe ourselves with greatly impact our relationships. As you study these verses, note that our lives and growth as Christians are manifested not only in our relationship with God but also in the way we treat each other. List the clothing that impacts relationships. Which one do you see that is most difficult for you to put on and wear regularly? Talk to someone you see that has this quality and ask them how they developed it. Day 3 and 4 Read Colossians 3:15-17 So often we find ourselves worried and anxious about relationships. This is not God s plan for our lives. What is the result of taking off the earthly nature and putting on the clothing of Christ? Do you feel this peace in your relationships? Meditate on which qualities are preventing this in your life. Do you have this kind of gratitude? How do you demonstrate it to Him? Pay attention in verse 16 to what is supposed to live inside of us. Are you spending time studying and meditating on His Word to allow this to happen to you? What are we supposed to do with the Word that lives inside of us? A good practical approach is to take one idea from your study, the sermon or class each day meditate on it and share it with others. Another practical concept is to keep a list of helpful scriptures in your Bible or computer that might be helpful to share in certain situations (a personal topical concordance, talk to Alison about this if you are interested).
4 Day 5 Read the following scripture: Acts 28:15 Read the background leading up to this verse. If you were Paul, what may have been difficult for you at this point in your life? What did the brothers do that encouraged him? It is important for us to learn to think about what other people are going through in order for us to help them. What did they do that made a difference to Paul? Was it convenient for them? Why did they do it? (Read Colossians 3 again if necessary) Day 6 Study 2 Corinthians 7: 5-13 What was Paul feeling in verse 5? How did God meet his need? It is important to see that God works through people to encourage others. Is God trying to use your life to encourage someone? Are you willing to let Him? Note how their response to the Word, especially their repentance, encouraged people that weren t even with them. Your response to the Gospel, your growth and your love are impacting people around you right now. Think of someone that has encouraged you. Go and tell them (or write them a note like Paul did) to encourage them even more. Day 7 Study 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:9 Look at the power of relationships in these verses. Note the different ways that the Thessalonians impacted Paul s life. The knowledge that others here or even in other cities around the world are facing challenges, enduring persecution and sharing their faith is powerful in our lives. The faithfulness of Shiloh in giving for the missions and the incredible heart of the teens is spurring on others around the world. In what ways could you encourage brothers and sisters around the state? Around the world? Let us continue to grow and encourage one another by our lives as well as making a continual impact around the world.
5 Day 1 Read Hebrews 3:12-15 Relationships- WEEK 3: Encourage One Another What does the writer mean to you when he says see to it? How often should we encourage each other? Why should we encourage each other? Think about some people that you encourage each day this week and put it into practice. Set a goal to daily encourage at least one person. Day 2 and 3 Study Ephesians 4:29-32 It is very important to realize that our words carry great power to build or unfortunately to tear down. Take some time to write down some things that have been said to you that have strengthened you in some way. Think about the people that God has put in your life and note their strengths and or areas of growth. Write them a note, give them a call or talk to them in the fellowship this week telling them how they have inspired you. Reflect back on your conversations over the last few days, have your words been words that are helpful for building others up? Are you letting any unwholesome talk come out of your lips? What is the impact of words that are harmful? Look carefully at verse 31 and 32, what motives and attitudes should we have as God s children?
6 Day 4 Read Hebrews 10:23-25 What does it mean to consider? List some ways that you can spur one another on? What are we supposed to spur one another on to do? Is it okay if you or others miss activities that the church is doing together? Do you know someone that you need to encourage in these areas? What is the urgency mentioned in verse 25? Day 5 Read Philippians 1:12-14 Encouragement does not happen just by our words or saying positive things about each other. Paul encourages brothers and sisters here even when he is not with them by his life. Each of us has the opportunity to inspire others by our lives. What are some things that you have seen or heard that have given you courage? Examples of great inspiration can be found in Hebrews 11, Foxe s book of martyrs or examples here in the church. Write down some of your thoughts and tell someone how their life has given you great courage. Day 6 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 With what words does Paul tell them to encourage each other with? How great is it to know that Jesus has been victorious over death AND through Him we too will rise again? No matter what is happening this will always be true and can be useful to encourage one another. We will be with the Lord forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7 Day 7 Review the last few weeks of relationship studies. Look especially at a couple things that you have learned and want to put into practice. Write down some ideas that are helpful or challenging to you and share them with a brother or sister. Look up the word encourage in you concordance for other examples. Meditate and pray about the things that you have learned and studied. No matter who you are, what you know, what you have or how old you are in Christ or years, you can encourage your brothers and sisters. Remember it will take a daily commitment for us to develop the lifestyle Jesus calls us to live. Keep in mind the goal is to grow in our relationships with each other and present each other perfect in Christ.
8 Relationships- WEEK 4: Humility toward One Another Day 1 and 2 Read 2 Timothy 3:16-4:5 Here we read one of the purposes of the scripture in verse 17. What is this purpose? Which disciples in the church does this apply to? Verse16 and 4:2 give every disciple the responsibility to do what? As we studied last week, encouragement is vital to all of us, we see here that we have more than a responsibility to encourage if we will remember our goal for relationships in the church (Ephesians 4:12-16). Why does Paul say that the scriptures should be our basis for correcting and training? What should our mindset be as we correct, rebuke and encourage? What does careful instruction mean? Why do we need to continue to preach and teach this way (verse 3)? What are you doing to prepare yourself to correct rebuke and encourage? Do you know some areas that you need to speak up now? Day 3 Read 1 Peter 5:5-9 Romans 12:10 Philippians 2:3-4 What does it mean to clothe yourself with humility? It is important to see without humility I am fighting against God. This humility extends past my relationship with Him, but is demonstrated in the way I interact with people. Are you humble? Are you still a learner? Do you show a genuine interest in other people or are you focused on your own interests and needs? Day 4 Read Luke 10:38-42 What qualities of Mary demonstrate humility? Jesus is not telling Martha to be irresponsible, but teaching her what is most important. How important is learning to you? What does it mean to sit at someone s feet as they teach? This mindset of pursuing growth and knowledge is critical in our relationship to God. Are you still looking to be coached/taught/trained as a disciple of Jesus? Are you still seeking like Paul in Philippians3:7-14?
9 Day 5 and 6 Read Acts 8: What do you notice about the attitude of the Eunuch? What is the result of this attitude? How does he demonstrate a teachable heart? Are you still asking questions to learn and strengthen your faith? A good practice is to write down questions as you read and go through your week. In this way you can discuss them in the fellowship and learn together. It is critical to note that his seeking did not end with his questions. Note that true humility and seeking follow knowledge by acting on it. Look at his eager and urgent response. Are you still responding with action? If so you will never stop growing. Examine Philip s example of teaching. Remember in 2 Timothy 3:16 that we are supposed to use the scriptures to teach and train. We must not only be humble, eager learners but have the responsibility to teach one another in love. What qualities does Philip demonstrate as a teacher? Day 7 Read Acts 2:36-47 How are the principles of learning and teaching demonstrated? Did the hearers listen only or follow up with action? Did the new disciples continue in humility? How is this demonstrated? What qualities of a great teacher are demonstrated by Peter? If you consider the listeners it would have been easy for them to have a problem with pride because of their spiritual knowledge and commitment. In our society we run into the same problem with religious pride. How can we prevent this in our own lives? As we share the gospel with others the need to use the scriptures (2 Timothy 3:
10 Relationships- WEEK 5: Correct, Train, Admonish One Another Last week we examined our need for each other in our lives and the necessity of humility and a genuine desire to grow. This week we will look into our need to correct, admonish, rebuke and train one another. Day 1 Read 2 Kings 5:1-15 Look carefully at the interaction of Naaman with everyone. Remember the steps that demonstrate true humility as you review last week s relationship concept: A recognition (admitting) that you have a need. A willingness to seek input. A willingness to listen to the input. Actually responding and putting into practice what you have learned. Naaman has input from several people and responds differently to them. At first he seems humble and is willing to seek input after he acknowledges he has a need. Why does he not listen to Elijah? Are there times you may seek out input or acknowledge a need and are not willing to put it into practice? Look at the courage of the servants in verse 13. Why were they willing to risk the wrath and possible punishment of Naaman? What would have happened to Naaman if no one had the courage to speak to him? Think about those around you that you can help. Keep in mind that Naaman s servants were not the ones in authority or power but they still cared enough to try to help. Day 2 Review Colossians 1:28-29 and Ephesians 4:11-16 What is the goal of our relationships in Christ? Who is supposed to do the work? Review 2 Timothy 3:16 What does it mean to correct, rebuke and train? Can you think of examples where this happens in the world? Why is it so important that we get involved and speak to our brothers? Read Galatians 5: Is eternity worth correcting our brothers and sisters? Is there someone that you need to help? Day 3 Read Galatians 2:11-14 How does Paul apply the information studied on Day 2? What reasons might Paul have for not getting involved? What keeps you from getting involved? What is Paul s motive for speaking?
11 Day 4 and 5 Read Leviticus 19:7, Ezekiel 33:1-9, Acts 20:25-27, Luke 17:3 What do these four scripture references teach us about our responsibilities to each other? What is God s expectation for us? Are we responsible for a brother or sister that refuses input? To find out why it is so important read Joshua 7. It is obvious how much impact one man s sin can have on so many. It seems very harsh as you read the story, but keep in mind how the families felt that lost family members in the battle against Ai? If the sin were not dealt with, what else may have happened? Remember that it is critical that the Jews go into the Promised Land and defeat Ai in order to bring us the Savior. Day 6 Read Ephesians 4:15-16 What does this verse tell us to do? Is it okay if we do not speak? Is it acceptable if we do not speak in love? What does it mean to speak the truth? Each step is important to achieve the result in verse 15 and 16. Are you willing to speak the truth in love to help God s church and your brothers and sisters? Do you know someone that you need to speak to now? Day 7 Read 2 Timothy 2:22-25 Instead of quarrelling, what are we supposed to do? I have found it very helpful in my discussions to stop trying to prove myself right and make sure that I am teaching others about Jesus. Therefore, using the scriptures is a critical component of any spiritual discussion. It is also very important to remember who has taken them captive and that the goal is to get others to repentance. Note the words: instruct, resentful, gentleness and kindness. These words are very important to keep in your heart as you teach and admonish one another.
12 Relationships- WEEK 6: Unity with One Another It is an incredible gift from God to be part of his family with a purpose and a partnership. Relationships grow deeper as we work side by side in unity for a common purpose. Day 1 Read Philippians 1:27-30 What are they supposed to do together? What is it that unites the brothers and sisters? What does it mean to contend? What does it mean when Paul says as one man for the faith of the gospel? What impact does this unity of purpose have on the disciples? What impact does this unity of purpose have on the lost? Day 2 Read Hebrews 10:32-39 As you read through this section, notice how the brothers and sisters treated each other. What happened when one of them was facing persecution? What does it mean to know that you do not have to deal alone with the attack of the world? How can you show your brothers and sisters support when there is no persecution? Think of times in your life when someone has been willing to stand with or for you. How did that make you feel? Are you doing this now for your brothers and sisters? Day 3 Read 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 What part is the most important in the body? Does everyone have the same abilities? What happens if everyone wants to do the same job? What happens if parts complain? What happens if one part doesn t give their best? When one part is hurting or rejoicing, does it impact the others? What is your attitude in the body of Christ? Remember that there is only one head - Jesus! Are you thankful for the opportunities that God gives you in his body? Do you serve cheerfully?
13 Day 4 Read Ephesians 4:1-6 Philippians 2:1-5 How hard should you work at being unified? What does Make every effort mean? How does this say that we should interact with each other in verse 2 of each chapter? Does this describe your thoughts as part of the body? Read Mark 2:1-5 Notice how they worked together. What kind of effort did they make for their friend? Note how their action was a reflection of their faith. Do you have the faith to trust Jesus with your best effort? Can your brothers and sisters count on you carrying them? Day 5 Read Philippians 2:25, Philemon 1:2 Why does Paul call these brothers fellow soldiers? What are they battling against? Sometimes do we make the mistake of engaging in battles with each other instead of recognizing the real enemy? Nothing makes us closer than fighting together with each other against the evil one. Are you fighting for and with each other for the cause of the gospel? Day 6 Luke 10:1, Mark 6:7 Why does Jesus send them out two by two? What support can we give each other? Are you working side by side with your brothers and sisters? How well will we do if we try to go into the battle alone? Are you supporting your brothers and sisters this way? Day 7 Read Matthew 18:19, Colossians 4:12, Ephesians 6:19-20, 1 Sam 12:23 We can fight for and with each other in many ways. Prayer is a way we can fight together every day, no matter what else is going on in our lives. Can we count on each other for this? Does Paul say it makes a difference? Does Jesus believe it makes a difference? What is the mindset of Epaphras? PRAY together and for each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
14 Relationships- WEEK 7: Be kind to One Another As Disciples of Christ, what do people see and feel from their interaction with us? Day 1 Read Luke 6:35, Acts 14:17 How does God treat us? Do we deserve God s kindness? Take some time to write down all the ways that God has shown kindness to you. Think about your circumstances compared to those of other people. Think about your knowledge of Jesus. Think about your access to the Word and His Church. Day 2 Read 1 Corinthians 13:4, Ephesians 4:32, 1 Thessalonians 5:15, 2 Timothy 2:24 What is love without kindness? Would people describe you as kind? Is your answer the same if you include everyone you know or that you come into contact with? What do you think he means when he says always in Thessalonians? Day 3 Read 2 Peter 1:4-9 Can we grow in our kindness? What impact does it have on our spiritual life if we are not growing in our kindness? Could lack of kindness keep me from being effective in Christ? What impact should the fact that our sins have been forgiven have on our kindness to our brothers? Day 4 Read Romans 16:16, 1 Corinthians 16:20, 2 Corinthians 13:12, 1 Thessalonians 5:26 and 1 Peter 5:14. How should we greet each other? As you read this, do you think they greeted everyone this way, or did they show extra warmth to their brothers and sisters? Although each culture is different, the key is that we show warmth, kindness and love as we greet each other as we are unified in Christ. Do you show this to visiting brothers and sisters? How warm are you when you visit other disciples? Remember we are supposed to be known for our love for one another. Day 5 Mark 12:35-37, Philippians 2:1-4 and 20 What impact does it have when someone listens with delight? What if someone interrupts or does not pay attention? Are you a great listener? Do you care what other people say? Does it show by your interaction? Do you consider others better than yourself? Do you know the interests of others? Do you show a genuine interest in others?
15 Day 6 Luke 7:11-13 What did Jesus feel? How did he know what was going on? Was Jesus focused on himself or on others? Wouldn t it have been easier to not get involved? We cannot do some of the things that Jesus did, but acts of kindness and interest in other s lives make a powerful impact. Are you looking for opportunities to show kindness to others? Day 7 Read Matthew 26:6-13 How do you think this woman felt when others were complaining? How do you think she felt after Jesus defended her? What impact did her kindness have on Jesus? What impact did her kindness have on all eternity? Kindness makes a difference. It is a way we can show God s love with our hands, our words and our steps. Let s be a people of kindness. Love is kind!!!!!!!!!!!!
16 Relationships WEEK 8: Forgive One Another One of the most powerful and yet most difficult things for us to master is forgiveness. Learning to forgive others changes our lives spiritually, socially and physically. Extending forgiveness and understanding forgiveness brings us closer to the cross and more and more like Jesus. Day one Read: Numbers 14:18 Psalms 103: ) What can we learn about the way God describes himself in Numbers 14? 2) What does He want you to think about when you think about who He is? 3) Look at Psalms 103, think of all the ways that God extends His kindness and forgiveness to man.

(look at 18:15) 5) What does Jesus mean when He says from the heart?
17 Day 5 Read: Ephesians 4:25-32, James 1:19,20 1) Is anger always sin? 2) What are some characteristics of godly and worldly anger (Look in Ephesians at verse 26, 29, and contrast 31 and 32. Look at James 1 from this perspective) 3) What is the result of anger that is not dealt with? (look at Ephesians 4:27) 4) Make a list of the difference between godly and worldly anger and examine your life and see how anger impacts your life. 5) One of the keys to godly and worldly anger is how quickly we address the problem. How long does it take for you to deal with your anger? Day 6 Read Acts : 18-23, Hebrews 12:15, Romans 3:13,14 1) What does bitterness do to us? 2) What should I do if I detect bitterness in a brother or sister? 3) What will happen if bitterness in not dealt with?

How about the thief on the cross or us? 3) How should we forgive others? 4) Why should we forgive others?
18 Relationships- WEEK 9: Teachers and Learners Jesus is known throughout the Bible as a teacher. Even his enemies addressed him as "Teacher". He has given us the charge to be students and teachers as we interact together. This week think about your role as a teacher and how you can fulfill Jesus' desire that we teach one another. Day 1 Matthew 28:16-20 Luke 6:40 1) What two roles do all of us have as disciples? 2) As a student when will I be done learning? 3) If I decide not to teach or continue to be a learner, who and what authority am I rejecting? 4) Do you have people in your life today to fulfill Jesus' commands in these two areas? Day 2 Luke 18:9-14 1) What kind of teacher do you think the Pharisee would be? 2) What problems do you see in his attitude? 3) Is it more important to him that he is better than someone else or closer to God? 4) What kind of impact do you think that the attitude of the Pharisee would have on the tax collector? 5) What areas in your life do you see pride the strongest?

Are you making an impact on the world or are they impacting you more? 3) Jesus is willing to teach all types of people because he cares and pays attention to their lives and needs. As you interact with people on a daily basis, are you aware of their needs? 4) A teacher that cares is much more effective than a teacher with knowledge but does not show an interest in the students. Are you showing a genuine concern for others? Day 6 Matthew 4:4 Mark 3:20,21 and 31,32 John 4:32-35 Luke 6:45 1) What is the most important thing in the life of Jesus? 2) What did Jesus teach about? 3) A teacher cannot really conceal what is most important in his heart, what comes out of the overflow of your heart as you teach? Day 7 Luke 24:13-35 especially verse 32 Jeremiah 20:9 1) When the brothers were discouraged, what helped them get their fire back? What did they do as soon as Jesus lit the fire in their hearts? 2) As you teach your brothers you also can encourage others and light a fire in their hearts. 3) Is Jesus' Word in you like a burning fire? 4) Can you hold back the fire that Jesus has planted in your heart? Who will be pleased if I keep silent?
20 Relationships- WEEK 10: Lord of All In week 10 of our relationship studies, think about your priority for all relationships. The most important thing is that with everyone, Jesus is Lord. This changes the way you view others and work with others. There is no relationship that is not impacted by the Lordship of Christ. We have learned certain patterns of dealing with others based on worldly training and philosophies. Think about your relationships through the eyes and steps of the Lordship of Christ. Day 1 Read Romans 13:8-14 1) How important is it that we love one another? 2) Is there ever a time when this debt of love will be completely paid? 3) Look at verse 14 and consider the impact of clothing yourself with Christ in all your interactions. Day 2, 3, 4 Read 2 Corinthians 5:6-6:10 This is a longer reading and I encourage you to take some time to study the principles and challenge your heart, mindset and action. 1) Look closely at verses 9, 13, 14, 15 in Chapter 5 and examine the motives for living as a Christian. A) What is your goal? B) What is our motive? C) Since He died for us, who should we live for? (This is another way of saying that Jesus is Lord) D) In verse 13, is Paul living for himself? If not, he mentions two others that he is living for. Who are they? 2) Since Jesus is Lord of our relationships, we are supposed to change the way we view other people (verse 16). A) How should I view others differently? (look at verse11, 6:3) B) How should I view myself and my responsibility? (5:18-20 and 6:3-10) C) What happens if I do not live in a way that an ambassador should (6:3) 3) There is a time factor to consider as well as I view others now as an ambassador of Christ. A) Look in verse 10 and note why we must make Jesus Lord of all our relationships. B) Look at 6:1,2 also and note the view Paul has on the urgency of our decisions. Day 5 and 6 Read Colossians 2:8 Romans 12:1-3 Ephesians 4:17-5:20 1) We learn to have relationships first in the world, and therefore the way we handle them often is not the way that Christ would want us to live but what we have learned from worldly examples. What worldly patterns have impacted your relationships?
21 2) Look at Ephesians 4: We are not only supposed to get rid of the worldly patterns but to do what else? 3) Notice the impact of these new patterns of living in Ephesians 4:25-5:20. 4) Write down all the different ways our new life should change and the way we should change them to walk in the light. (for example, language, sexuality) 5) Note the words insist, not even a hint and have nothing to do with, why does Paul say this? Are you that serious about your relationships? 6) What does Paul say in Ephesians 5:7? What do you think that means? Day 7 Read Proverbs 4:19-5:14 1) Verse 23 is a critical scripture in our relationships. What does this verse teach us about our hearts? 2) How quickly do you give your heart away? 3) What does this section teach about the way you walk and what you should be looking at? 4) What do these verses teach about discretion in your relationships? Day 1 1 Corinthians 15:3-11 Relationships- WEEK 11: Confident and Unashamed 1) What support is given here for the resurrection? 2) Why does Paul say he does not deserve what God has given him? Do you sometimes feel the same? 3) Look at verse 10. What is it that allows God and Paul to look at Paul in a different way? (not as a persecutor) 4) What impact does the grace have on the life of Paul? Day 2 Read 1 John 2:28 Hebrews 4: ) Do you feel confident and unashamed before the throne of God? 2) Notice that the throne of God is called the throne of what? 3) What are we to hold firmly to in order to give us this confidence? 4) What qualities does Jesus show in verse 15 that help us understand his love and concern for us?
22 Day 3 Read Colossians 1:19-23 Revelation 12:9-11 1) Who is the accuser? 2) How often does he accuse? 3) What is it that makes us free from accusation? 4) The blood of Christ has power over Satan s accusations. How else does His blood impact the way God sees us? Day 4 Read Hebrews 10: ) In verse 10, how does the sacrifice of Christ and his blood impact us? 2) What do you think once for all means? (look also at verse 12) 3) Look at verse 14. What happens through the sacrifice of Christ? How long does it last? 4) Meditate on the impact of the sacrifice of Christ and the impact of how it changes the way we are seen by God. This is one of the most powerful things in the scriptures and will change the way you live. Don t miss this concept. Discuss this with others. Ask questions and write it on your heart. Day 5 Read 1 John: ) What does the blood of Christ do in this section of scripture? 2) Which sins does the blood of Christ work on? 3) Do I have to live sin free in order to receive continual forgiveness? 4) What do I need to do to allow Christ s blood to continually purify me? Day 6 Read Psalm 103 1) In verse 2, which sins does God forgive? 2) In verse 4, where is my life when God crowns me with love and compassion? 3) How is God described in verse 8? 4) Read verse and think about how far God removes our sins from us. Day 7 Read Titus 2:11-14 Titus 3:3-8 1) What impact should God s grace have on me? (verse 2:12,14 and 3:8) 2) Why did Jesus give himself for us? 3) Why did Jesus save us?
23 4) Jesus saved us not through our righteousness, but how does Paul say we are saved? (3:5) What is the washing referring to? (look at Acts 2:38 and Acts 22:16)

New Dawn greetings in the name of Jesus Christ.
I believe every Winner is still flowing in the realm of the supernatural and may each of us receive grace to maintain the flow in growing dimensions, as it is with this Commission till date in Jesus' name. Amen.
But what is the Holy Ghost saying for the month of July 2018?
The Spirit of God is saying:
This is why, whatever we don't want we must not continue to watch – Mat. 17:18-20/ Eph. 6:16
Knowing that:
Furthermore, we understand that:
But what is faith?
All of the above makes faith a most potent force on the earth – Mk.9:23/Mk.10:27
Therefore, the prophetic focus for the month of July 2018 is:
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH – Mk. 11:21-23
Recommended books of the month authored by Bishop David O. Oyedepo include:
Remain ever blessed.

They just keep getting worse. Good thing I watch HGTV all the time so I know it's always chaos before the quiet.
The chaos spills over into the living room.
And for what? So far-- this much:
It's not that I didn't always know it but this carpet thing is really driving it home. My family won't do anything. They'll help me do things no problem. But try asking any one of them to do something. "Can you move the table over another foot or so and then get the carpet?" "Sure." "Of course!" "I'm gonna." "Any minute now." "In a bit." "I'll get right on it." "Tomorrow." "Next weekend for sure!"
So I move the furniture and start ripping the carpet and shame them into helping. Then they get to do the things that I find the worst. I haven't rolled up and tied a piece of carpet yet and have only pried off one piece of tack board.
In other news, I've found a lot of my Puerto Rican at the corner store. They have achiote. I've also made a good batch of sofrito and frozen it. Got a cup of achiote oil sitting on my counter. When I made the arroz con pollo the other day it was such a big hit they all wanted it again the next day. I dunno, there's something wrong with cooking the same exact meal for dinner two days in a row. So I made linguine carbonara in between the two chicken and rice meals.
Chicken fried in achiote oil-- damn, that's good stuff.

About four o'clock that afternoon I met David and the dogs at the spinney which leads into the Sweet Fern Covent. The three setters, Voyou, Gamin, and Mioche, were in fine feather — David had killed a woodcock and a brace of grouse over them that morning — and they were thrashing about the spinney an short range when I came up, gun under arm and pipe lighted.
"What's the prospect, David," I asked, trying to keep my feet in the tangle of wagging, whining dogs; "hello, what's amiss with Mioche?"
"A brier in his foot sir; I drew it and stopped the wound but I guess the gravel's got in. If you have no objection, sir, I might take him back with me."
"It's safer," I said; "take Gamin too, I only want one dog this afternoon. What is the situation?"
"Fair, sir; the grouse lie within a quarter of a mile of the oak second-growth. The woodcock are mostly on the alders. I saw any number of snipe on the meadows. There's something else in by the lake — I can't just tell what, but the wood-duck set up a clatter when I was in the thicket and they come dashing through the wood as if a dozen foxes was snappin' at their tail feathers."
"Probably a fox," I said; "leash those dogs — they must learn to stand in. I'll be back by dinner time."
"There is one more thing sir," said David, lingering with his gun under his arm.
"Well," said I.
"I saw a man in the woods by the Oak Covern — at least I think I did."
"A lumberman?"
"I think not sir — at least — do they have Chinamen among them?"
"Chinese? No. You didn't see a Chinaman in the woods here?"
"I—— I think I did sir — I can't say positively. He was gone when I ran into the covert."
"Did the dogs notice it?"
"I can't say — exactly. They acted queer like. Gamin here lay down an' whined — it may have been colic — and Mioche whimpered — perhaps it was the brier."
"And Voyou?"
"Voyou, he was most remarkable sir, and the hair on his back stood up, I did see a groundhog makin' for a tree near by."
"Then no wonder Voyou bristled. David, your Chinaman was a stump or tussock. Take the dogs now."
"I guess it was sir; good afternoon, sir," said David, and walked away with the Gordons leaving me alone with Voyou in the spinney.
I looked at the dog and he looked at me.
The dog sat down and danced with his fore feet, his beautiful brown eyes sparkling.
"You're a fraud," I said; "which shall it be, the alders or the upland? Upland? Good! — now for the grouse — heel, my friend, and show your miraculous self-restraint."
Voyou wheeled into my tracks and followed close, nobly refusing to notice the impudent chipmunks and the thousand and one alluring and important smells which an ordinary dog would have lost no time in investigating.
The brown and yellow autumn woods were crisp with drifting heaps of leaves and twigs that crackled under foot as we turned from the spinney into the forest. Every silent little stream hurrying toward the lake was gay with painted leaves afloat, scarlet maple or yellow oak. Spots of sunlight fell upon the pools, searching the brown depths, illuminating the gravel bottom where shoals of minnows swam to and fro, and to and fro again, busy with the purpose of their little lives. The crickets were chirping in the long brittle grass on the edge of the woods, but we left them far behind in the silence of the deeper forest.
"Now!" said I to Voyou.
The dog sprang to the front, circled once, zigzagged through the ferns around us and, all in a moment, stiffened stock still, rigid as sculptured bronze. I stepped forward, raising my gun, two paces, three paces, ten perhaps, before a great cock-grouse blundered up from the brake and burst through the thicket fringe toward the deeper growth. There was a flash and puff from my gun, a crash of echoes among the low wooded cliffs, and through the faint veil of smoke something dark dropped from mid-air amid a cloud of feathers, brown as the brown leaves under foot.
Up from the ground sprang Voyou, and in a moment he came galloping back, neck arched, tail stiff but waving, holding tenderly in his pink mouth a mass of mottled bronzed feathers. Very gravely he laid the bird at my feet and crouched close beside in, his silky ears across his paws, his muzzle on the ground.
I dropped the grouse into my pocket, held for a moment a silent caressing communion with Voyou, then swung my gun under my arm and motioned the dog on.
It must have been five o'clock when I walked into a little opening in the woods and sat down to breathe. Voyou came and sat down in front of me.
"Well?" I enquired.
Voyou gravely presented one paw which I took.
"We will never get back in time for dinner," said I, "so we might as well take it easy. It's all your fault, you know. Is there a brier in your foot? — let's see — there! it's out my friend and you are free to nose about and lick it. If you loll your tongue out you'll get it all over twigs and moss.
"Can't you lie down and try to pant less? No, there is no use in sniffing and looking an that fern patch, for we are going to smoke a little, doze a little, and go home by moonlight. Think what a big dinner we will have! Think of Howlett's despair when we are not in time! Think of all the stories you will have to tell to Gamin and Mioche! Think what a good dog you have been!
"There — you are tired old chap; take forty winks with me."
Voyou was a little tired. He stretched out on the leaves at my feet but whether or not he really slept I could not be certain, until his hind legs twitched and I knew he was dreaming of mighty deeds.
Now I may have taken forty winks, but the sun seemed to be no lower when I sat up and unclosed my lids. Voyou raised his head, saw in my eyes that I was not going yet, thumped his tail half a dozen times on the dried leaves, and settled back with a sigh.
I looked lazily around, and for the first rime noticed what a wonderfully beautiful spot I had chosen for a nap. It was an oval glade in the heart of the forest, level and carpeted with green grass. The trees that surrounded it were gigantic; they formed one towering circular wall of verdure, blotting out all except the turquoise blue of the sky-oval above. And now I noticed that in the centre of the greensward lay a pool of water, crystal clear, glimmering like a mirror in the meadow grass, beside a block of granite. It scarcely seemed possible that the symmetry of tree and lawn and lucent pool could have been one of nature's accidents. I had never before seen this glade nor had I ever heard it spoken of by either Pierpont on Barris. It was a marvel, this diamond-clean basin, regular and graceful as a Roman fountain, set in the gem of turf. And these great trees — they also belonged, not in America but in some legend-haunted forest of France, where moss-grown marbles stand neglected in dim glades, and the twilight of the forest shelters fairies and slender shapes from shadow-land.
I lay and watched the sunlight showering the tangled thicket where masses of crimson Cardinal-flowers glowed, or where one long dusty sunbeam tipped the edge of the floating leaves in the pool, turning them to palest gilt. There were birds too, passing through the dim avenues of trees like jets of flame — the gorgeous Cardinal–Bird in his deep-stained crimson robe — the bird that gave to the woods, to the village fifteen miles away, to the whole country, the name of Cardinal.
I rolled over on my back and looked up an the sky. How pale — paler than a robin's egg — it was. I seemed to be lying at the bottom of a well, walled with verdure, high towering on every side. And, as I lay, all about me the air became sweet scented. Sweeter and sweeter and more penetrating grew the perfume, and I wondered what stray breeze, blowing over acres of lilies, could have brought in. But there was no breeze; the air was still. A gilded fly alighted on my hand — a honey-fly. It was as troubled as I by the scented silence.
Then, behind me, my dog growled.
I sat quite still at first, hardly breathing, but my eyes were fixed on a shape that moved along the edge of the pool among the meadow grasses. The dog had ceased growling and was now snarling, alert and trembling.
At last I rose and walked rapidly down to the pool, my dog following close to heel.
The figure, a woman's, turned slowly toward us.

Rotherham of England ace Semi Ajayi has displaced FC Porto defender Chidozie Awaziem as one of the back up centre backs to the preferred duo of Leon Balogun and William Troost-Ekong, Owngoalnigeria.com reports.
During their final training session Ajayi who has this season played and excelled as a defensive midfielder as well as a centre defender in the English Championship was deployed as a centre back.
Ajayi paired Kenneth Omeruo in central defence for Team B while Awaziem operated from the defensive midfield role pairing John Ogu in midfield in a 4-2-4 formation during the session supervised by coach Gernot Rohr.
Awaziem is not entirely new to playing as a defensive midfielder as that was the role he played in the test tournament where he was spotted by FC Porto before he was converted to a centre defender.
In the Super Eagles last competitive game against Seychelles, he filled in at right back in the absence of the preferred trio of Shehu Abdullahi, Ola Aina and Tyronne Ebuehi.

FARGO, N.D. — Winter-like weather could create a few driving hassles over northwestern North Dakota in the next few days, but it's a welcome nuisance for the dangerously dry conditions.
National Weather Service meteorologist Nathan Heinert says some areas in the northern part of the state could see 3 to 5 inches of snow in the next day or two. Another system is expected to roll through southern North Dakota Wednesday, and more precipitation is expected after that.
Heinert says the moisture is needed and the sooner the vegetation turns green, the better.
Snow and ice covered roads prompted the state Department of Transportation on Monday issued a travel alert for the Williston, Watford City, Stanley, Crosby and New Town areas.
Gov. Jack Dalrymple last week declared a state fire emergency.

The first thing that comes to mind after landing in jail is how to get out fast, and the best way to do this is by posting bail.
There are "conditions of release" that you need to comply with if you post a bail bond. One of these is appearing in court when you're ordered to do so. If you "jump bail" or don't show up, the court keeps the bail and issues a warrant of arrest. You'll also face an additional charge: bail jumping.
A Crime in Itself
Bail jumping is a crime in itself. Whether intentional or unintended, you may forfeit your bond and face additional charges if you don't show up in court. If you used a bail bondsman, the person or company can sue you for another charge and hire a bounty hunter to arrest you. Remember that even if you're innocent to the charge hurled against you, you need to appear before the judge whenever you're summoned to do so.
Some states make bail jumping an offense only when you're charged for misdemeanor or facing a felony, but others don't look into the nature of the charge.
Intent and Proof
In most states, the prosecution must prove that you intentionally failed to show up in court before you'll be charged for bail jumping. They must show that you received notice of the appearance date, whether through a letter or the wording of the bail bond contract.
Different Excuses
Even if your excuse for bail jumping establishes a defense, the court will base its decision on the facts gathered and the jurisdiction. It's usually a valid defense if your reason is due to circumstances beyond your control, such as an emergency or severe injury.
Bail jumping is a serious crime. Work with a legal counsel if you failed to appear in court to avoid facing additional charges.

September's chapter of Territory of Light is entitled The Magic Words, perhaps the briefest installment so far to the book which is published in full in April 2018. An aspect that is prominent in the chapter is of the introspectiveness of the narrator as she cross examines her feelings about finding herself a mother, this cross examination is provoked when her daughter has a bout of nocturnal crying and a period of bed wetting, reading her feelings, any mother, (and no doubt any father), who has experienced parental fatigue will associate with the narrator's thoughts and self doubts. The narrator's endurance is pushed to the limits which see's her resorting to drink in an attempt to get a full night's sleep, her feelings for her daughter spin through a whole 360 degrees, from dangerous resentment back to love again, for a moment she observes the similarities between her daughter and her husband Fujino.
Throughout the book there's been a sense of the narrator making attempts to get on top of her thoughts and feelings and rein things under control, in The Magic Words the borders between work and motherhood blur when she has to leave abruptly to return home as her daughter is unexpectedly picked up from school by Fujino, which brings an underlying struggle throughout the book to the fore, the vexed problem of custody of their daughter, something that hangs over the book that will probably remain unsolved by it's end. The Magic Words is a chapter again that stands on it's own, feeling self contained, a little piece from the previous chapter continues on into this, the goldfish from the August festival dies, which feels like a symbolic addition to some of the themes that hover in this chapter.
Although brief The Magic Words continues to keep balance between both being able to disturb and reassure, perhaps there's something of a mantra at the heart of this chapter which is the phrase 'Itaino, itaino tondeke' which is told to Japanese children at hurtful moments which roughly translates as pain, pain go away, and we wonder as the narrator tells it to her daughter the phrase carries a certain reverberation, is she saying it solely to her daughter, or herself?, or perhaps to us, the moment echoes.

Correction Appended
THE HAGUE — Sixteen months after his life of power and luxury ended in an abrupt arrest, Charles G. Taylor, warlord and former president of Liberia, is living in a new cellblock on the grounds of the Men's Penitentiary near The Hague.
Once known for his fine white suits, a swaggering style and plentiful weapons financed by trading timber and diamonds, Mr. Taylor now cooks his own food, does his dishes, reads newspapers and receives prison-issued pocket money. He is allowed to spend two hours in the yard and to work out in a gym.
He is the first African head of state to stand trial on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. If he is convicted, human rights groups say they hope that his fate could signal an end to impunity for violent dictators in Africa.
Since his trial began in June, prosecutors of the Special Court for Sierra Leone have produced about 40,000 pages to document what they call Mr. Taylor's drive for power and its accompanying atrocities, orchestrated from Liberia while he was backing forces in Sierra Leone's civil war. An estimated 200,000 people were killed or maimed in the fighting in Sierra Leone from 1991 to 2002.
Other crimes he is accused of in Liberia — where several hundred thousand more people died while he led a rebel army, and after he became president in 1997 — are not within the mandate of this court.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Taylor theatrically fired his lawyer on the opening day of his trial. Since then he has been interviewing several replacement candidates and working on his defense. Herman von Hebel, the court administrator, said Mr. Taylor had two cells, "one where he sleeps and one where he keeps his paperwork." He has access to a computer, a television and a DVD player.
But after a life of mixing with presidents, rebels, diplomats, smugglers and a permanent coterie of aides, Mr. Taylor is feeling very isolated, said Karim Khan, his former lawyer.
Set within the high-security compound of the largest prison in the Netherlands, with close to 800 inmates, a cellblock for international prisoners was recently built for the International Criminal Court. There, Mr. Taylor has only one fellow inmate: a Congolese militia commander, Thomas Lubanga. "They eat together, they share the common sitting room," said Marc Dubuisson, who oversees the prison administration.
The two inmates are also accused of carrying out a particular type of horror. According to prosecutors, both men have used thousands of child soldiers as their henchmen and indoctrinated and drugged pubescent boys to become killers and warrior-butchers who were ordered to chop off civilians' hands, arms or other body parts. Girls were kept in the boys' camps as cooks and sex slaves, prosecutors say.
Court officials said they did not know if the two inmates discussed such topics. Mr. Lubanga, who will be tried by the International Criminal Court here for commandeering child soldiers in the Congo, speaks French, while Mr. Taylor speaks English. "We're arranging for some language courses, and also for computer lessons," Mr. Dubuisson said. "They are not convicted; we have to treat them with dignity."
The Sierra Leone court pays $700 a day for Mr. Taylor's confinement. Nearby, in the same compound but out of reach, is the older detention center with close to 50 Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian inmates of the United Nations war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
Mr. Taylor, a man used to the powers of a wealthy warlord, has been successful at promoting his interests even in captivity. He has complained about the size and budget of his defense team, paid for by the court. Although a report by investigators for the court has put his fortune, amassed through legal and illegal activities from timber and diamond trading and other business interests, at around $450 million, he has said he has no money to pay for an adequate defense and requested legal aid. After he boycotted several court sessions, the court raised his defense budget to $70,000 a month from $45,000, Mr. von Hebel said.
Mr. Taylor's complaints in court about the Dutch meals he was provided — his former lawyer called it "Eurocentric food" — have also paid off. Prison employees have searched for items perhaps more suitable for the African palate and now provide plantains, yams, corn flour, cassava, smoked fish and spices like ginger and peanut sauce to Mr. Taylor and Mr. Lubanga, who have learned to cook with the help of a guard.
They can buy extras with their official pocket money of 10 euros, or $13.70, a week.
An official of the special court based in Sierra Leone observed that amenities in The Hague may seem spartan to Mr. Taylor, but will seem luxurious to many poor West Africans. Pressed for a photograph of Mr. Taylor's quarters, the court provided one of a cell it said was like Mr. Taylor's. It shows a neat private space with a sink, a toilet, shelves and a worktable.
Mr. Dubuisson conceded that "it's not a secret that we do have high standards." While the jail already has cable television, he said he was now arranging for a satellite dish, because Mr. Taylor and Mr. Lubanga wanted news from Africa.
The prison has set aside a private space for conjugal visits. Mr. Taylor's wife has been to see him. And then there is the sitting room equipped with games, a cooking range and a microwave oven. Answering further questions about prison life, Mr. Dubuisson replied with certain emphasis: "Yes, yes, the men do wash their own dishes. It's not a hotel here."
And by 8 p.m., he said, their cell doors are locked.
A picture caption on Sunday with an article about the living conditions for Charles Taylor, the former president of Liberia, who is in prison near The Hague while being tried for war crimes, gave an incorrect date in some copies for the photograph, which showed him in court in Freetown, Sierra Leone. It was taken in April 2006, not this year.

Cord access holes allow you to snake wires directly from your media devices through the back of the unit, keeping cords hidden from view as you plug them into wall outlets or a power strip. The wire management holes also help to reduce dangerous heat build-up caused by media players by increasing air circulation in and out of the unit. In addition, decreased heat build-up means less noise from automated fans that work to keep each individual console cool. Connect and use your media devices safely and easily with this item's included wire management.
