Book Description
Many of Christ’s disciples abandoned Him, because they could not accept His “hard” teaching noted in the book of John, chapter 6. This hard-hitting book mirrors the words of eternal life that the Holy Scriptures provide, enabling those who respond by grace (favor/power), through faith to share (not possess) that very life. The sovereign statements made by Jesus Christ require much of those to whom much is given, and indicate the need for perseverance. Christ will not believe, repent, continue (segue) in faith, or persevere for us, but will daily empower us to be more than conquerors of sin and the world. We are not helpless against sin and temptation, and we are commanded to stop sin in our lives by God’s grace. With a unique approach to examining the sovereign scriptural segues presented throughout the Bible, this book will enlighten and hopefully inspire the reader to take a more serious look at all of God’s Holy Word—His messages to us that are critical for victorious Christian living. o Metaplasmic memory words o Post-modern, “Humpty-Dumpty” interpretation of Scripture o Biblical acronyms o In-depth analysis of Christ’s exact words and parables o Conventional Greek grammar tenses Much of Scripture is dedicated to correcting the tragedy of error which is prevalent in the lion’s share of Christian literature. The truth that is often eclipsed is uncovered here. This presentation aims to lead toward greater unity and conformity to God’s Will. To be—or not to be—in Christ.

Worship Flow

Category : Church music
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Transitions happen. Song to song. Music to preaching. Prayer to offering. They happen. And they can happen just how they happen, or they can happen according to a plan. An unplanned transition is at best a speed bump; at its worst it's a train wreck. When we don't plan a transition, we put a period in where a comma should be. Or a gasp where a gentle inhaled breath should be. Or a fence instead of a gate. Or, well, you get the picture. (Worship Flow, page 5) You've got about an hour once a week to engage, encourage, challenge and lead your gathered congregation. Don't waste the opportunity by distracting them with clumsy transitions and awkward silence. Your transitions matter. Don't leave them up to chance. Great segues intentionally move people along the journey of worship. Poorly planned transitions jar people out of the moment they were instead of guiding them seamlessly to the next. Worship Flow: 28 Ways To Create Great Segues is a quick, easy-to-read resource for worship leaders and pastors who plan services. In these 28 segues, Jon covers how to move in and out of all the common elements of worship-music, prayer, scripture, offering, announcements, messages, communion, and more. Best of all, this isn't another book you'll feel like you need to read cover-to-cover. It's a worship planner's "desk reference" for service transitions. Each section focus on a different service elements, and each chapter is focused on a specific segue to move in and out of those elements. So don't let your transitions between service elements be the thing that keeps people from focusing on what really matters in your worship gathering.

Book Description
- From Part One, InventoryNature is not something separate from us; it is us.Same as the storms in each season serve a purpose, so too do our storms. We can be effectively moved, sustained, balanced, and warmed. True also is the potential for chaos, shutdown, and irreparable devastation. Life happens, sure, but we can direct quite a bit too. We can prepare ourselves to weather the storms and be a ready receptacle for the favors of life as they come our way.There's an energy that unites us all. That energy is love. We are stronger together, although we can never be truly apart, but we can be in conflict, which makes us think we are.Peace provides our Wholeness, and Love sustains our Oneness.

Optimized Dark Matter Searches in Deep Observations of Segue 1 with MAGIC
Author: Jelena Aleksić
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319231235
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
This thesis presents the results of indirect dark matter searches in the gamma-ray sky of the near Universe, as seen by the MAGIC Telescopes. The author has proposed and led the 160 hours long observations of the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Segue 1, which is the deepest survey of any such object by any Cherenkov telescope so far. Furthermore, she developed and completely characterized a new method, dubbed “Full Likelihood”, that optimizes the sensitivity of Cherenkov instruments for detection of gamma-ray signals of dark matter origin. Compared to the standard analysis techniques, this novel approach introduces a sensitivity improvement of a factor of two (i.e. it requires 4 times less observation time to achieve the same result). In addition, it allows a straightforward merger of results from different targets and/or detectors. By selecting the optimal observational target and combining its very deep exposure with the Full Likelihood analysis of the acquired data, the author has improved the existing MAGIC bounds to the dark matter properties by more than one order of magnitude. Furthermore, for particles more massive than a few hundred GeV, those are the strongest constraints from dwarf galaxies achieved by any gamma-ray instrument, both ground-based or space-borne alike.

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
I walked your grey, stone floors from nave to Poet’s Corner, Careful to sidestep graves of poets long revered. I felt a deep whispering in my heart; I shivered in my warmth, Was that Tennyson I heard softly calling? Early winter sunlight streamed through the Rose Window, gently Dust particles fell like teardrops in muted rainbow hues... From an early age Sharon King-Jeffers has read and been inspired by all forms of poetry. Now she once again provides a glimpse into her heart and mind as she lyrically reflects on life, love, loss, and everything in between. In her second collection of contemporary poetry presented in three parts, King-Jeffers explores many relatable themes and subjects that include reflections on her first twenty-five years of life, pictures or things seen or felt, and the beautiful state of Hawaii. As she leads others through her poetic perceptions, King-Jeffers provides a space for others to reflect on their unique personal experiences and journey through life. The Final Segue: And Other Poems is a thoughtful volume of contemporary free verse that reflects the author’s creative perspective.

Book Description
What if Jesus were to write you a personal letter? How quickly would you read it? In Segue, learn that Jesus has indeed written to his followers living today, in the early decades of the twenty-first century. Through his introduction, critic, and counsel, Jesus speaks directly to you and me today. Together, we explore the deeply stirring call God has issued to his children to think of our lives as pieces of music to be composed. Using music as a metaphor of our lives, you will learn how to develop a more intimate walk with Jesus. Today our lives sound more like machines chugging along our day-to-day routines rather than the expertly crafted instruments that God intended. Segue is a musical term that means a seamless transition. All of our lives are songs that are being composed. What will be the quality of your sound? How would this outlook change our lives and the world?
