Let’s look at some prophecies: Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” Prophetically spoken about Jesus in the beginning. Seed of the women for reconciliation of God with man.  The story of Creation. Let us make man in our own image. However, sin happened and man fell. It hurt God but he made a plan already. Genesis 12:3 “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” Points out to the Messiah who would be coming to save us. From the clan of Abraham, God will bless. THROUGH YOU – it ...

 

  A well-known Christian businessman who was visiting a church was asked to give his testimony. He said, “I have a fine family, a large house, a successful business, and a good reputation. I have plenty of money so I can support some Christian ministries very generously. Many organizations want me on their board of directors. I have good health and almost unlimited opportunities. What more could I ask from God?” As he paused for effect, a voice shouted from the back of the auditorium, “How about asking Him for a good dose of humility?” (Source unknown) It's such a difficult topic to preach because, everyone thinks that they are humble in their own way but only God knows what would trigger our pride? ...

We value relationship, we invest into building meaningful relationships and a sound community which is united in spirit and being. We value fellowships and coming together as a wider spiritual family. We love meeting up on regular intervals, get involved in healthy discussions to explore more about God. it says meaningful relationships: I would ask why relationships? We are all social species. We need each other to survive. We need each other. Meaningful relationships bring confidence, freedom, and showcases the love of Christ. Jesus wants meaningful relationship with all of us. He has always shown it through different modes and means. The cross is a witness of that. Sound community: Any living organism needs to be sound in order to be alive. if we ...

THE NEXT GENERATION This is part of the series we are doing on the Values that we as a church believe in. As a church having people of multiple generations it will be amazing to look at this topic - the next generation. A mum texts, “Hi! Son, what do IDK, LY and TTYL mean?” He texts back, “I don’t know, love you and talk to you later.” The mother replies, “It’s OK, don’t worry about it. I’ll ask your sister. Love you too.” This kind of sums up the perception we have when we hear or think about generations. But what we believe is as follows: "We value, invest into, and support at every level the children’s ministry, youth ministry, college and young professional ministry, as well ...

  Turn to someone whom you have not met and don’t know them really well and find out about their 1. Hometown 2. When did they come to Panvel if they are not from Panvel? 3. Where do they live currently? 4. How did they know about this church? Our church is full of people from different cultures, socio economic background and also multilingual. That’s why we have a common language that we follow in the church, that is, OE, only English because, there could be someone sitting next to you who doesn’t understand the language that you speak. We also accommodate people from various backgrounds and appreciate, adapt their style of working or expressing. We help each one of us to find a ...

  We value unity and team spirit. We work together for the expansion of the Kingdom of God because we are the body of Christ and Christ is the head of this body. We believe in accepting individuals with their uniqueness, so that we give glory to God through our diversity in being united. Unity is not uniformity.  Instead, unity can be defined as any group of people who are characterized by a shared purpose, vision or direction. It’s not about being the exact same, but about advancing towards the same goal. Think about a football team. There are different positions on the field. Each position has different skill sets, roles and responsibilities. But all players on the team march towards the same end ...

  As we are going through the series of values we believe in as a church, this week we are going to look into another one – Integrity. Before we begin, I would like to tell u all this one thing that came to my mind when I began preparing for this sermon. I was just going through the values listed on our website.

Church Planting --> Leadership  --> Discipleship  --> Equipping  --> Character  --> Evangelism  --> Gospel Centered  --> Church  --> Stewardship  --> Generosity  --> Open Home  --> ...

  We believe that Godly character above natural gifts, talents, and abilities is the key to success in life and ministry. Our goal is to help build godly character into the lives of all members of The Church as they pursue their destiny in God. What is Godly Character? Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 5 For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are and how firm your faith in Christ is. Colossians 2:5 It is about how we build ...
