  • Augustine and Prayer by John M
    SGU PAMPHLETS Augustine and Prayer by John M. Brentnall Augustine and Prayer by John M. Brentnall Introduction Augustine of Hippo (354-430), the great ‘Church Father’ from whose writings Luther and Calvin contributed so much to the Reformation, “never wrote what could be called a treatise on prayer.” (Thomas Hand) His nearest approach to an extended treatment of the subject - a letter to a wealthy noble widow who had sought his advice - merely delineates the kind of people we must be in order to pray acceptably, and develops a few valuable suggestions on prayer that are useful for the Christian’s journey towards the full enjoyment of God. His Expositions on the Psalms, though not specifically a study of prayer, throw much light on how Christ and His Church express their union and communion through prayer, and how believers may make the psalmists’ prayers their own. The Confessions weave in and out of prayer so much that they may be justly regarded as one prolonged prayer; yet they offer no direct teaching on the subject. For their part, the Sermons, Soliloquies, Treatises, Letters and Retractations cast up many valuable thoughts on prayer, not to mention some priceless gems in the form of particular prayers offered to God by Augustine himself; but they too offer no systematic treatment. In view of this absence, perhaps the most we can distill from the vast and varied array of available material is “not a system or method” of prayer, but “a general orientation with recurrent themes and characteristic emphases.” (Rebecca Weaver) What we can distill, however, may well revolutionize our whole view and practice of prayer.

    February 2013 The Glory of God A Teaching by Ron Brown “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:18 There is so much that Scripture says about the glory of God— to show us the truth and to show us the way. from Genesis all the way through Revelation. I really believe The glory of God is his presence. It’s when God’s pres- that this is a season to seek him and to ask him to show his ence is among us. It showed up in the temple of Solomon.

  • The Three Kingdoms
    Are There Three Kingdoms in Heaven? www.makinglifecount.net Mormons teach that there are three kingdoms (celestial, terrestrial, telestial) in the afterlife. They base this belief on 1 Cor. 15:40-42: There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead.” Mormons teach the 3 degrees of glory in the afterlife are explained by the 3 degrees of glory of the sun, moon, and stars. Telestial Kingdom—This is the lowest of the kingdoms and all who enter will be forever living apart from the presence of Father and Jesus. The telestial glory is typified by the stars, as the people who will live here will be as innumerable as the stars. Because there are differences in the stars, there are also differences in the degrees of glory one may receive here. Terrestrial Kingdom—This glory is typified by the moon. All those who rejected the Mormon gospel in life but accept it in the spirit world will live here. They will become ministering servants to those of the telestial kingdom. No marriages are permitted in this kingdom. They will forever remain unmarried, cannot achieve the state of exaltation, and although they will have the presence of the Son, they will not receive the fullness of the Father. Celestial Kingdom— Only LDS members and children who die before the age of eight are permitted into this kingdom.

  • February 14 This Is Incredible!
    1616 W. Mequon Road, Mequon WI 53092 (262)241-3121 www.stjohnsmequon.org Email: [email protected] Pastor James Tiefel (262) 853-9723 (cell#) Email: [email protected] The Last Sunday after the Epiphany The Transfiguration of Our Lord February 14, 2021 Enter Lent with Jesus’ Glory in Mind When Jesus told his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem to suffer and die, he understood their confusion. In order to fortify them for the trouble ahead he took them to a mountain. There he pulled back the veil of his humanity and revealed his glory. As we enter the difficult days of Lent, we too view the Savior’s glory and praise him that he left the glory behind and went to the cross. First Reading 2 Kings 2:1-12 Elijah ascends bodily into heaven. Second Reading 2 Corinthians 4:3-6 God’s glory is displayed in the face of Christ. Gospel Mark 9:2-9 Jesus is transfigured and reveals his glory. Sermon 2 Kings 2:1-12 Introduction: What happened on that mountain, the mountain we’re talking about today, was really beyond incredible. The three Gospel writers who tell the story use different words and phrases, but the image is the same. Matthew says that Jesus’ face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Luke writes that the appearance of Jesus’ face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. We heard Mark’s account this morning: His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them.

  • Reflecting God's Glory 1
    Reflecting God's Glory 1 Reflecting God's Glory "Don't let the world around you squeeze you into its mold, but let God re-mold your minds from within, so that you may prove in practice that the plan of God for you is good, meets all His demands and moves toward the goal of true maturity." - Romans 12:2 [Phillips Translation] Whenever anyone accepts Jesus Christ as their Savior, God tells us that they are "a babe in Christ Jesus," spiritually born into a new life. Now that they are spiritually "born-again," - born into the kingdom of God - they must "mature," from being a babe in Christ to a full "stature in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 4:13). How to attain this "maturity in Christ Jesus" is what this study is all about. God has made it clear in His Word the process whereby "spiritual maturity" is attained. This spiritual growth is not automatic just because someone has accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior, but, rather, spiritual growth involves co-operation. The born-again believer must actively participate in the plan God has outlined in His Word if he is ever to mature in Christ Jesus! Spiritual maturity is not something that just happens to some believers and not to others, but, rather, it happens as the result of the believer living in harmony with God's basic principles of life - by the power of the Holy Spirit. The conflicts one faces in their personal life can inevitably be traced back a violation of a principle which is found in God's Word.

  • Living for the Glory of God
    Chi Alpha Discipleship Tool Living for the Glory of God “How to Do Good So That God Gets the Glory” A transcript of a sermon by John Piper The Goal of God's Glory Last Sunday we saw from Isaiah 43:7 that God's great goal in creating and governing the world was to be glorified. That is, he created us for his glory. Not to increase the beauty of his perfections or fill up some emptiness in God, but rather to display his glory in the way we live and to win praise for himself. Isaiah 48:9-11 drove the shaft of God's glory deep into our minds: “For my own sake I defer my anger, for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you that I may not cut you off. Behold I have refined you, but not like silver; I have tried you in the furnace of affliction. For my own sake, for my own sake I do it, for how should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another.” To maintain the honor of his name and display his glory—these are the driving motives in all that God does in history, in the church, and in individual lives. [...] How We Bring Glory to Our Heavenly Father Jesus said in Matthew 5:16, “Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” Three observations go a long way to answering our question. First, Jesus clearly commands that the goal of our lives should be to behave so that God gets the glory.
