This sermon series was adapted from our small group Bible study on Parables. Sunday School Works exists to encourage your Bible teaching ministry to kids. Ministry Expectations The Parable of the Sower by Pastor Colin Smith. The idea behind it all was to use film to recapture or recreate the kinds of emotions that Jesus’ 1st-century audience would have felt when first hearing those parables. This material is from, a web site containing sermon outlines and Bible studies by Mark A. John MacArthur The Purpose of the Parables. Modern Parables is a Bible study series that uses short films to teach the parables of Jesus. Whenever you are feeling isolated, alone, average, not-good-enough, or inadequate, remind yourself that you are the one lost sheep Jesus will never stop pursuing. How to Read the Parables of Jesus from The Bible Project. When you are lost or far from home, never underestimate the passionate pursuit of Jesus for his people. Jesus is a good shepherd, so he protects and provides for his sheep. Lastly, let’s examine Jesus as a good shepherd. Scripture: Matthew 13:44 Part 4: One Lost Sheep It forces us to ask ourselves, “What does our lifestyle say about our values?” Ellsworth Kalas, Parables of Jesus provides new insight to some of your most troubling or most beloved parables: The House on the Rock: Matthew 7:24-27. In this parable, Jesus tells a story about buried treasure. Calendars and bank accounts reveal a lot. Do you want to know what people value? Look at how they spend their time and their money. Today we will dive into the parable of the hidden treasure. Scripture: Matthew 5:14-16, John 1:1-5 Part 3: Treasure What exactly does that mean? It means that we find our power source in Jesus, shine for others to see, and drive out the darkness around us. Have you ever noticed how your phone screen appears impossibly dim to read in the glaring sun, yet blinds you with brightness in a pitch-black room? That’s the power of light. Second, Jesus calls us the light of the world. Scripture: Matthew 5:13 Part 2: Light of the World In its ancient context, Jesus’ comparison of believers to salt reveals our calling to enhance the lives of those around us, give all the glory to God, and point people to Jesus. This is how the Parables sermon series breaks down: Part 1: Salt of the Earthįirst, as Jesus begins his Sermon on the Mount, he shares a parable that calls us “the salt of the earth.” This sermon took place long before “salty” became slang for bitter or passive-aggressive. This free 4-part Parables sermon series will help students understand and apply the principles of some of Jesus’ most famous parables.

The city's western suburb of Airway Heights is home to Fairchild Air Force Base as well as two large casino hotels.

The Spokane Washington Temple in the east of the county serves the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. John the Evangelist serves as that of the Episcopal Diocese of Spokane. The Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Spokane, and the Cathedral of St. The city is also home to the Riverfront and Manito parks, the Smithsonian-affiliated Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, the Davenport Hotel, and the Fox and Bing Crosby theaters. Many of the downtown area's older Romanesque Revival-style buildings were designed by architect Kirtland Kelsey Cutter after the Great Fire of 1889. Spokane hosted the first environmentally themed World's fair at Expo '74. The local economy depended on mining, timber, and agriculture until the 1980s.

The first people to live in the area, the Spokane tribe (their name meaning "children of the sun" in Salishan), lived off plentiful game.

According to the 2010 census, Spokane had a population of 208,916, making it the second-largest city in Washington, and the 101st-largest city in the United States. The city and the wider Inland Northwest area are served by Spokane International Airport, 5 miles (8 km) west of Downtown Spokane. Officially, Spokane goes by the nickname of Hooptown USA, due to Spokane annually hosting Spokane Hoopfest, the world's largest basketball tournament. It is known as the birthplace of Father's Day, and locally by the nickname of "Lilac City". Spokane is the economic and cultural center of the Spokane metropolitan area, the Spokane–Coeur d'Alene combined statistical area, and the Inland Northwest. It is in eastern Washington, along the Spokane River, adjacent to the Selkirk Mountains, and west of the Rocky Mountain foothills, 92 miles (148 km) south of the Canadian border, 18 miles (30 km) west of the Washington– Idaho border, and 279 miles (449 km) east of Seattle, along I-90.

Hawken tobacco reviews1/2/2024 moist snuff brands sold in the United States during 1997 (3). The pH, nicotine, and total moisture content in samples of the six products were analyzed at CDC using a federal standard protocol** (4). Samples were stored in their original containers at -95.8 F (-71 C) until tested. The pH was obtained by suspending 2 g of moist snuff in 10 mL distilled water. Total moisture content (water and tobacco constituents that are volatile at 211.1 F ) was obtained by calculating the weight difference in 5 g of tobacco before and after 3 hours of oven drying at 211.1 F (99.5 C). Nicotine was extracted from moist snuff by using methyl tertbutyl ether, and tobacco extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography to determine the nicotine content. The nicotine extraction and pH measurements were conducted at room temperature. The percentage of free (unprotonated) nicotine, which is dependent on the pH, was calculated according to the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and by using a pKa value of 8.02 for nicotine (5). #Hawken chewing tobacco pouches free#įree nicotine content then was calculated by multiplying the percentage of free nicotine by the total nicotine content (percentage of free nicotine x nicotine content). The tests were not blinded to the brands being tested, and all analyses were done in triplicate. Statistical analyses were performed using Statistical Analysis System (SAS) software. The mean total moisture content ranged from 48.9% to 54.1%, except Hawken Wintergreen, which had a mean total moisture content of 24.7% the mean nicotine content varied from 7.11 mg/g to 11.04 mg/g, except Hawken Wintergreen, which had a mean nicotine content of 3.37 mg/g the mean pH varied from 5.24 (Hawken Wintergreen) to 8.35 (Kodiak Wintergreen).
