The read passage is a continuation of yesterday's text (Ezekiel 37:1-6) and hence we continue to reflect upon the dry bones… This text is a part of a popular text that speaks of the possibility in the midst of impossibilities.

He started thinking what to ask if God talks to him. Then he said out loud. Are you really there? 8220;Yes, Rahul? The principle ...

Worship at UTC: Pergamum: An invitation to encounter with the ‘body of Christ’ in the Midst of the throne(s) of the times (Revelation: 2:12-17)
http://utcworship.blogspot.com/2015/03/pergamum-invitation-to-encounter-with.html
By Jeba Singh Samuel. Saturday, 21 March 2015. Pergamum: An invitation to encounter with the ‘body of Christ’ in the Midst of the throne(s) of the times (Revelation: 2:12-17). What I am trying to convey is the ambiguity we face in having to deal with the book of revelation. I would like to begin this sermon with this very issue of getting across the message of the book of revelation clearly. I think the passage which we read, clearly tells about the purpose and meaning of the book of Revelation. Hidden M...

By Jeba Singh Samuel. Saturday, 6 September 2014. Be a Non-Conformist in the Process of Peace Building in Church and Society (John 14:27-31).
