Acts 2:1-13, II Kings 2:1-15, Acts 5:32, Acts 16:25 - 26, Rom 1:16, Eph 6:17

There were 3 groups of people on the day of pentecost:
1. People who were in the upper room
2. People who are excited but not in the group in the upper room
3. People who objected

A church which seeks power should have the following:
1. Prayer
2. Obedience
3. Worship
4. Evangelism
5. Revelation
God bless.

"Responsibiliy of a father as a Priest, Prophet, Pastor and Preacher" by Pastor Selva raj

I Samuel 2:27-32

" For I will honor those who honor me, but those who despise me will be cursed! "

Eli was the Judge, a spiritual man and a good leader and yet he failed as a father. He honoured his sons more than God and he did not put his sons in discipline.

Responsibilities of a father :

I) Priest of the family: Our ministry begins at home. If you cant build your home you cant build the church.(Pray for your wife and children)

Prayer: A priest is a person wo stands between God and people and take them to God through prayer. Without prayer, we cannot build a family.

Blessing: Priest has to bless people. (Bless your wife and children)

II) Prophet: A prophet is a person who brings God to people.
Fill yourself with the word of God and share the word of God with your children. This is the will of God. (Family prayer)

III) Pastor: All the fathers are pastors at home first. They have to take care of the family and provide for the family.

IV) Preacher: Father must give values to children (not just knowledge)
A father must lead an exemplary life.

GOD BLESS

"Christian Suffering" by Rev.Ruben Kanagalingam

"For it has been granted to you not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for him"

Philippians 1: 29-30 , I Peter 2:19-23, 4:12, 16, 30 , Acts 5:15 , Hebrews 2:9-10 , Romans 8: 17-18, 12:12 , James 5:10-11 , II Corinthians 7:4, 1:6
Mathew 10:38, 5:10

As a christian we have a special call. Jesus Christ suffered bodily and emotionally. Jesus knows what is suffering, so He will put you in his hand and take care of you.
Life of Jesus is very simple and exemplary to all. Suffering is a part of following Christ.
The greater is the suffering the greater is the honour.

How is our response to christian suffering?

1. Happily yield to the will of God
2. We are living in a cruel world. Endure patiently.
3. Bless who those persecute you, mock you, misunderstand you. When you suffer they have to see Christ in you.

God Bless

The 3 Myths of Money by Rev. Pas.Justin Clarance
Hebrews 13:5, I Chron 29:11-12, Deut 8:17-18, Ecc 5:10, I Tim 6:8, Phil 4:11-13, Prov 11:28, Prov 23:5, Prov 13:8, Luke 12:15-21
There are 38 parables in new testament- 16 talk about money and possessions.
The gospels have 288 verses, one out of 10 verses deal directly with money.
Jesus spoke more about money than the heaven or hell. Bible on the whole has 500 verses on prayer, less than 500 on faith but more than 2000 verses about money and possessions.
The 3 great myths of money are:
1. We deserve whatever we have
2. Money brings happiness
3. Money brings security
Bible says
1. Wealth and honour comes from the Lord. Even hardwork is a gift of God.
2. God is in control of our lives. True happiness comes from doing the will of God.
3. God is our security, our rock, our fortress. He will never leave or forsake us.
God Bless.

David's Life By Bro .Sudhakar Rao

I Samuel 17:8-11, I Chron 29:28, Eph 6:12, Hezek 20:38, Isaiah 6:8, Col 17:34-35, Psalms 39:3, I Samuel 17:45-46, Rom 10:13, I John 1:9, Luke 16:10

Life of David - humble, dedicated life to God, foretold the victory against the mighty Goliath and believed the presence of God in his victory over Goliath.

We too have to share the testimonies of our the blessings we have received from God in our lives and the victories that God has promised and given us against the forces of evil.
The same God who has given victory to David will do the same to you if you believe in his promise. Praise God. Amen.
