SUNDAY WORSHIP PROGRAM - 08.11.2015
09:30 am - Bible Study Class :
Pastor Biakson presided over the Bible study class.
11:00 am - Worship Service :
Pastor Biakson welcomed the congregation and opened the Worship Service with a prayer. The Worship Team takes over with singspiration and a call for submission and surrender to God through mass prayer. The Ushers collect the alms and offering in the meanwhile. Upa Khamkhanpau Guite makes the offertory prayer.
The program continues with Pastor Nenglian conducting Child Dedication rite, which is a symbolic ceremony undertaken by parents soon after the birth of a child.(The rite is intended to be a public statement by the parents that they will train their children in the Christian faith and seek to instill that faith in them). A certificate to mark the event was presented to each of the three families who performed this rite.
The Sermon delivered by Pastor Nenglian was titled “Christian Family-A family that serves the Lord”(Joshua 24:15). With reference from the life of Joshua in the holy scripture the pastor talks about Christian life, the determination, guidance and much needed faith that one must have of the Almighty and the Promised land. Like Joshua, we all can achieve great things if we put our trust in the Lord and commit ourselves to Him and do His will. We must put our trust in God, believe in God’s ability to sustain us, to hold us up, even in difficult circumstances and be led by Him. Let God be in control of our lives and our thoughts so that we may do away with other worldly things, ungodly practices. Just as Joshua was chosen by God, we have been chosen by God-to serve him in our family and in our nation. And like Joshua has said in the Bible,“But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord”, let us encourage ourselves to do the same and lead our family into the Promised land. And with a prayer seeking for God’s guidance the Pastor ended his sermon.
The Worship team leads the congregation with one last song for the service. Benediction by Upa Langkham.
