He ate and drank and then lay down again. 7 The angel of the Lord came back ...

Series on the book of Ruth -Part 4

MADE FOR MARRIAGE – Courtesy Benny Ho Ruth 3: 1 – 18 One day Ruth’s mother-in-law Naomi said to her, “My daughter, I must find a home for you, where you will be well provided for. 2 Now Boaz, with whose women you have worked, is a relative of ours. Tonight he will be winnowing barley on the threshing floor. 3 Wash, put on perfume, and get dressed in your best clothes. Then go down to the threshing floor, but don’t let him know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking. 4 When he lies down, note the place where he is lying. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down. He will tell you what to do.” 5 “I will do whatever you say,” Ruth answered. 6 So she went down to the threshing floor and did everything ...

Amplifying Evangelism

Evangelism: God wants us to influence the people we have relationships with. It’s never as difficult in reality as it seems in our minds. A witness is someone who by explanation and demonstration gives audible and visible evidence of what he has seen and heard without being deterred by the consequences of his action. S. Briscoe, Getting Into God, p. 76 Why should we evangelize? 1. It is commanded Mathew 28 2. To open the eyes of the blind 3. To be the hands and feet of Jesus 4. To rescue God’s children from the schemes of the enemy 5. To help people understand that they have a saviour How will it benefit? 1. There’s rejoicing in heaven 2. We have a reward in heaven 3. We are partners and co heirs in God’s ...

New Hope

Welcome to New Hope Community. We can call ourselves NHC. Till last week we were calling ourselves PC2C (Panvel City 2 City) and today we are NHC. We believe in a God who is sovereign. This new name and the Vision did not come in a single day, it took time, it took prayers, it took efforts, multiple interactions with our church members ,as well as other church leaders & most importantly hearing from God. Our Cluster head, Joemon Joseph’s involvement made it happen. When God changes a name and gives a new name, it was usually to establish a new identity. The Bible doesn’t give us reasons, but perhaps it was to let them know they were destined for a new mission in life. The ...

Humility

I am reminded of this verse, when I think about humility: Philippians 2: 5 - 11 5In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God, the ...
