Pastor commissioned two BCD teachers with a word of prayer in addition to four teachers commissioned earlier at 11:00am worship service of today. He then prayed for the congregants.
Today’s Sermon was delivered by Elder T. Kaithang who is all set to settle back in Lamka Town shortly (on March 11, 2016 to be specific) as he was recently Pensioned as Finance Director from Emanuel Hospital Association (EHA). At the very outset, he mentioned his past services as a Teacher for 8 years. He then worked in the SBI for about 26 years. Later, he came to Delhi way back in May 2005 to join the EHA where he worked till his pension. He is presently holding the post of Vice Chairman in the local Upa Committee and also as a Convenor in the Church’s Building Sub-Committee. He based his sermon on ‘DIKTATNA IN NAM A TAWISANG.’ and read the scripture portion from Genesis 15:6, which says, ‘And he believed in the LORD; and He counted it to him for righteousness.’ The whole sermon revolved around the life of Abraham. God considered Abraham as a righteous man because he put his faith in the Lord..
The speaker stressed on the importance of RIGHTEOUSNESS and urged the congregants to be righteous in all spheres of our daily lives. Abraham fearing for his life asked his wife to introduce him as her brother to the Egyptians which is a half-truth. Believers often resorted to telling half-truths at will to save ourselves from embarrassments, which should be avoided. Rather we should always be telling only truths and live an honest and righteous lives to become a great nation. He ended his sermon by saying, “Righteousness exalts a nation and before which we ourselves should uphold righteousness.”
Elder Ngulminthang Langel bid fare-well to Elder T. Kaithang on behalf of all the church members and acknowledged Elder T. Kaithang as one of the most presentable leaders this church has.
Pastor K. Vumzathang from EBCC Bethlehem, Gouchinkhup Veng and Rev. V. Nenglian, DS Lamka South Division, who was also our previous Pastor were given short speeches, as well.
