2. LIVING OUR LIVES ACCORDING TO A SET OF VALUES
OUR TOPIC FOR THIS MONTH
LIVING OUR LIVES ACCORDING TO A SET OF VALUES

3. DEFINITIONON
It is a border or belief that defines a basic standard in your life. A value is something by which you define yourself and your character and to which you willingly hold as a minimum standard or requirement. It is thus a standard of life that reflects your basic beliefs and allows your heart and conscience to be at peace. It is therefore a framework of beliefs within which you live and within which you choose to make yourself accountable.

4. FIVE BASIC NON-NEGOTIABLE VALUES
WORD BASED – building our lives on God’s
Word
SPIRIT LED – obeying the person of the Holy
Spirit
FAMILY FOUNDED – committing ourselves to
build Godly families
MISSIONALY MINDED – choosing a life of sacrifice for the kingdom of God
CHRIST CENTERED – living our lives to worship Him

5. BEING A WORD BASED CHURCH
OUR FIRST VALUE
BEING A WORD BASED CHURCH
- BUILDING OUR LIVES ON GOD’S WORD -

6. HOW AUTHENTIC IS GOD’S WORD?
IS IT STILL POSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE IS THE TRUE WORD OF GOD? WHO WROTE THE BIBLE... WASN’T IT JUST ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO WROTE A BOOK OVER MANY YEARS? WHAT IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT PEOPLE JUST WROTE A BOOK AND CALLED IT : “GOD’S WORD”… THE BIBLE?

8. HEBREW BIBLE
בראשׁית ברא אלהים את השׁמים ואת הארץ׃ והארץ היתה תהו ובהו וחשׁך על־פני תהום ורוח אלהים מרחפת על־פני המים׃ ויאמר אלהים יהי אור ויהי־אור׃ וירא אלהים את־האור כי־טוב ויבדל אלהים בין האור ובין החשׁך׃ ויקרא אלהים לאור יום ולחשׁך קרא לילה ויהי־ערב ויהי־בקר יום אחד׃

9. GEN 1: 1-5
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

10. PUTTING IT ON A SCROLL
בראשׁית ברא אלהים את השׁמים ואת הארץ והארץ היתה תהו ובהו וחשׁך על־פני תהום ורוח אלהים מרחפת וירא אלהים את־האור כי־טוב ויבדל אלהים בין האור ובין ויקרא אלהים לאור יום ולחשׁך קרא לילה ויהי־ערב ויהי־בקר יום אחד החשׁך ויאמר אלהים יהי אור ויהי־אור על־פני המים

11. PICTURES OF A SCROLL

12. AUTHENTICITY
It is interesting that the Jewish scribes who copied the MT (Massoretic Text) of the Hebrew Bible scrolls paid the greatest attention to the minutiae of detail and such marks attached to each consonant throughout the entire text. They even numbered every letter, word, sentence, paragraph, chapter, section, and scroll to insure that the total equaled that of the text being copied before allowing it to enter the holy synagogue

13. STARTING WITH GEN 1:1- FIRST LETTER COUNTING EVERY 50 CARACTER –
SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY
STARTING WITH GEN 1:1- FIRST LETTER COUNTING EVERY 50 CARACTER –
THEY MADE THE AMAZING DISCOVERY. AFTER EVERY 200 CARACTERS THE WORD TORAH COULD BE FORMED.
IN GEN & EXO THE WORD TORAH - IN LEVITICUS THE WORD HAROT AND AGAIN IN NUMBERS AND DEUT -- THE WORD TORAH TH

14. SCIENTIFIC CALCULATION
EXAMPLE OF WATER A WATER MOLECULE CONSIST OUT OF 3 ATOMS: 2 X HYDROGEN AND 1 X OXYGEN ATOMS AND COMBINED THEY FORM A WATER MOLECULE. THIS IS HOW A WATER MOLECULE LOOKS LIKE:

15. WATER MOLECULE

16. INTERESTING FACTS THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND
* THERE IS 10e WATER MOLECULES IN ONE
TEASPOON OF WATER.
* THERE IS km OF WATER
IN THE OCEAN. CALCULATED IT MEAN THERE IS 1,32e ml OF WATER IN THE OCEAN.
DIVIDE THAT BY 5ML/ TEASPOON
AND YOU WIL FIND THAT THERE IS 2,64e
TEASPOONS OF WATER IN THE OCEAN 23 3 24 23

17. FACT
THERE ARE MORE WATER MOLECULES IN ONE TEASPOON OF WATER THAN WHAT THERE ARE TEASPOONS OF WATER IN THE OCEAN

18. MIND BLOWING
THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS KM PER SECOND. CALCULATED: IT WILL TRAVEL 9,46 TRILLION km IN ONE YEAR. A GOOGOL IN SPACE =1 X CUBIC LIGHT YEARS

19. COLOUR 1 X MOLECULE IN RED
NOW
FILL THIS CUBIC IN SPACE WITH WATER AND NOW TRY TO IMAGINE HOW MANY WATER MOLUCULES IS IN THAT CUBIC ?
COLOUR 1 X MOLECULE IN RED
NOW IF YOU COULD PUT YOUR HAND IN THE GOOGOL CUBIC AND PICK OUT THAT 1 RED MOLECULE, THAT WOULD BE ACCORDING TO SCIENTIFIC COMPUTER THE POSSIBILITY FOR A MAN TO HAVE WRITTEN THE TORAH.

20. SUMMARY
GOD WROTE HIS OWN WORD AND EVEN THOUGH HE USED HUMAN BEINGS TO WRITE IT, IT’S STILL HIS WORD AND HIS WORD IS ALIVE AND WELL AND IT’S LIKE A TWO-EDGED SWORD THAT PIERCE TO DIVIDE SOUL AND SPIRIT AND IT DISCERNS THE INTENTIONS OF OUR HEARTS.
HEB 4:12

21. All Scripture is breathed out by God
2 TIM 3:14-17
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
All Scripture is breathed out by God
and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

22. GOD’S WORD : MATT13
“A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears, let him hear.”

23. VERSE 18-19
“Hear then the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes (immediately) and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.

24. VERSE 20-21
As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.

25. VERSE 22
As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”
