Sunday Worship Service, 19th January 2014
God is worthy to be praise. He had a plan and purpose for each one of our lives; a plan to do good and not evil to prosper and he gave us life! He is indeed good, and worthy of all thanks and praise.
Pastor V. Nenglian read out scripture portions taken from Psalm 42 and Psalm 5. He says that when our life’s fulfillment and contentment is within our God, then only there is satisfaction. Let us also have the patience to wait the right time to fulfill his purpose in our lives.
The worship team led the congregation in singing the hymns:-
1. Ka aw bil doh in Toupa aw
2. Hiai khovel ah sualgal a hong lian a
3. Hon huai nawn in
4. Hon makaih nawn in

Pastor conducted a prayer for the Children Sunday School teachers, which is a very important ministry for the church. He also commenced the Sunday school (adult) schedule for the year 2014. The Gospel of Luke has been chosen as the text to be studied. Till Chapter twelve of the Gospel of Luke is to be studied within this year. He also introduced the possible sources and time period of the origin of the book. It was believed that the Gospel of Luke was written around 60 AD by Dr. Luke. The meaning of Luke is “Light Giving.”
Dr. Luke the writer of the Gospel of Luke was a historian as well as a medical doctor. He was an intellectual so his writing was mainly based on chronological order and so it was easy to understand. He was a Greek and a Gentile Christian from Antioch. The Gospel of Luke was written to Theophilus. The Gospel of Luke was written not only for the Jews but also for the Gentiles.
Content of the Gospel of Luke:-
1. It focuses on the birth of Jesus Christ as a human being
2. It was written in a perfect way of writing, with a detailed and accurate record
3. Luke focuses on how the love of Jesus extends to both the Jews and the Gentile
