Br. Nitish starts a two-part series focusing on the Apostle John. He examines three instances where John faltered: his pursuit of greatness, inclination towards sectarianism, and initial desire for judgment on Gospel rejecters. However, he emphasizes the importance of learning from John’s mistakes to enrich our own spiritual journey.
12 Disciples of Jesus: Peter – Part 1
Simon, as he was born, was born in the small town of Bethsaida, which is on the north side of Galilee. “Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.” (John 1:44) His name was Jonah, or Simon, son of Jonas, while Jonah is what he’s called. So his father’s name was Jonah. And at some point, Peter, his wife, his brother Andrew, and his mother-in-law moved to the bigger town of Capernaum, where Jesus would come to live after he was rejected at Nazareth. He became a believer when Andrew, his brother, introduced him to the Lord Jesus Christ.
GOSPEL CENTERED LIFE – Br. Binoi Samuel – [Audio- Video Sermon]
Paul, in his letter to Timothy, notes that the mystery of godliness is the gospel. That is, the most essential ingredient for godliness is the gospel.It is important, therefore, that the church sing, teach, and preach the gospel. This is the message the church must cherish the most. And if so, the life of the church should revolve around this message – That is, every church service is gospel-centric. The church celebrates the gospel each time it gathers together. It affects what we sing, how we preach, what we teach, and how we relate to those in the church and out of the church. We have no church without the gospel, and no gospel without Christ.Gospel-centric living is a call to return to the message that we have forgotten, or rather, we have looked down on.
