    Worship And Giving Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Feb 21, 2020
     | 3,278 views

    The modern worship patterns slowly take the real relationship with God and man. The worship is dominated by singing, music and dance. The deep devotion to the word of God is very much missing. This sermon takes you to know the meaning of real worship in today's context.

    Theme: What Will I Give to the Lord? Text: Micah 6:8-9 Joke: A widow used to get a pension of Rs. 1000/-. She lost it, she does not know how to survive for the month.

     | 149 views

    The Gospel of Mark is the shortest of the four Gospels, He presents Jesus as the Servant King, the One who gave His life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). And woven through its pages is a strong call for His disciples — that’s you and me — to go and proclaim the Gospel.

    Go! And Proclaim The Gospel - the Gospel of Mark Introduction: Church, let me ask you a question to begin with: When was the last time you shared the Good News of Jesus Christ with someone else? For many believers, the thought of evangelism brings fear. We worry about rejection, about saying the ...read more

    It is so easy to put the hope of our salvation onto our achievements as believers. Paul not only shows us the uselessness of such an exercise, he also points us to the only source of our hope which is the resurrection of Jesus.

    The following sermon on Colossians 1:15-20 is going to examine Apostle Paul’s response to a heresy that broke out in Colossae concerning Christ’s identity in hope that we might come to associate the name “Jesus’” as the second person of the Godhead.
