"Walk the Talk-How to become a successful and exemplary church"? by Pastor Selva Raj
Thessalonians 1: 2-10
Three things will make the church successful:
1. Work of faith: Receive the word of God gladly.
Let our life style reflect to what we say.
2. Labour of love: Turn away from idols and serve the true, living God. Speak the word of God to others and follow His instructions.
Greatest idol is our own self (Do not be selfish)
3. Endurance of hope: We have to live (order our life) as if our Lord Jesus Christ is coming in our generation. It is a burning experience.
Waiting for the return of Jesus Christ will keep the Christian going.
GOD BLESS

"Worship the Lord in Holiness" by Bro.P.P. Abraham
Leviticus 10: 1-6
Holiness is defined by God.
Human beings have limitations and weaknesses so we cannot define holiness. By dedicating ouselves to God and by the things we do, we assume that we are close to God, but it doesnt make us holy.
1. We should use our position rightly.
Since we are worshipping the holy God, we ought to be careful and follow the instructions of God.
John 2:5 "Whatever He tells, do it"
2. We should not look down upon people.
Acts 10: It is unlawful for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile, yet God has shown that we shouldn't call any person defiled or ritually unclean.
Exodus 19: 5-6
"If you will diligently listen to me and keep my covenant, then you will be my special possession out of all the nations, for all the earth is mine"
Let us make a decision to obey God 100% and lead life according to God's standards of holiness.
GOD BLESS

"Christian Unity and Christ’s Humility - What keeps us together?" by Rev. Justin Clarance
Philippians 1:3-6 , 2:3, 4:14
Isaiah 1:18 Galatians 6:2 Mark 16:15 I John 4:7, 2:9
It is very important to be united together. What keeps us together?
1. Salvation in Jesus Christ keeps us together.
2. Even if our sins are red like blood, once we turn to our Lord and confess our sins, He will forgive us and cleanse us from all sin, as white as snow and will take care of us.
God is keen towards our past, present and future (because we have salvation in Jesus Christ).
Salvation offers:
- Freedom from the past (sinful life)
- Purpose for present
- Hope for future
1. Help one another, Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ:
Put aside your desires (self-centred life), have humility and love in your heart, place the needs of others above us, thats how you become the servant like LORD JESUS, willing to carry some one's burden.
2. Pray for one another, Prayer is the breath of God which keeps us alive:
If we want to survive as a church, we need to pray for one another, which gives abundant joy and spiritual maturity.
3. Love one another:
GOD IS LOVE. If we love one another, God resides in us, and his love is perfected in us.
If you have God's love (should be able to love others like JESUS) in your heart, you are in the light, otherwise you are in the darkness.
ARE YOU IN LIGHT OR IN DARKNESS??? YOU MUST DECIDE !!
THE FUTURE OF THE CHURCH DEPENDS ON ALL OF US.
SALVATION AND SERVANTHOOD WILL KEEP US TOGETHER.
GOD BLESS

"MASTER CALLS" Luke: 5: 1-11
- Rev. Ruben Kanagalingam
People were following Jesus to hear the word of God.
At the lake of Gennesaret, Jesus sat down in Simon's boat and taught the crowd from the boat.
Jesus asked Simon to put their nets into the deep water for a catch. Although the fishermen have worked hard all the night and caught nothing, Simon obeyed the word of Jesus (The Master) and lowered the nets. When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear. Though Simon was an expert in fishing and he knows that it is the wrong time to cast the net, he obeyed God's word.
WOULD YOU OBEY GOD'S WORD?
WOULD YOU GIVE AWAY THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE WHEN JESUS ASKS YOU TO DO SO?
Simon Peter fell down at Jesus' knees and admitted that he is a sinful man.
Then Jesus said to Simon, " Do not be afraid, from now on you will be catching people".
Along with Simon Peter, James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s business partners have left everything and followed Lord Jesus.
WHEN MASTER CALLS, NEVER SAY NO, JUST FOLLOW .
GOD BLESS
