Basic Lessons - Part 1

Paul Oakley's "Jesus Friend Of Sinners" was the first thing that came to my mind when I was about to start this blog. Back in Sunday-school (its like Church for Kids) we had sung this song with some modifications. The chorus of this song goes " Jesus, Jesus, Friend of Sinners; Jesus, Jesus, Friend of mine;" and we had "Talk About It" echoing in the chorus, and when I look back I feel sad that I had lost the boldness to declare that I am a Christian as much as I did when I was a child. I recently had spend some time with my young cousins who were very bold to say "Jesus" because that was all that they cared about. Many a time we are also caught in this net of social and peer pressure that we do not say about the things we love or people we care about. 

Recently in India there was a huge gathering of people in the capital and smaller in the cities and even smaller in the villages who were asking the government to bring out the "Anti-Corruption" bill. Even I was involved as I found it pretty neat and bold. Now, during this time when ever i met someone who i found it interesting to talk I brought about this topic and talked about it. It was only later I realised that I could do the same with Christianity and India being a country where its absolutely OK to talk about your religion, i should have. But I did not.   

The series "Basic Lessons" is all about the early Christianity and  how the Apostles got the matter correctly and would be more open to discussions and debates and what not. So thank you for reading the  introduction and well here we go.

The Nativity - by Gari Melchers

This could be my first ever critique of art that I have ever written and that is because it is only recently art has captured my interest as much as this work. This write up is made both in English and German as I want to practice my German.  'The Nativity' by Gari Melchers.  I am not an art expert and my critique is from a layman's point of view, but bear with me. I have tried reading some information about the art and the culture behind it and I have my two favourite blog posts about the same work and yes,  I have shamelessly copied some of their thoughts. Woebegone but Hopeful and other is by Lisa VO . Julius Garibaldi Melchers (August 11, 1860 – November 30, 1932) was an American artist. He was one of the leading American proponents of naturalism.

God of Hope | Romans 15:13 | Sermon Notes | Podcast and YouTube Video

Sermon Notes: Bible Verse: Romans 15:13 Romans  Written by Paul / Saul Made up of Jewish and Non Jewish Claudius forced Jews to leave Rome and after 5 years they returned and there was a new church in the old place - one that was predominantly Non Jewish and therefore much of Romans is written with the slight aim to understand how Gentiles fit into the Jewish Messiah. This means that Gentiles are part of  Abraham family and how they were asked to unify in Love Now we come to the chapter 15. Saying that in this process of loving others, we often come across the failure of others. Lets go to the verse May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. May the God of Hope God who gives us Hope Hope from what? Hope in what? He fills us Joy and Peace in our believing Through Holy Spirit Suffering produces endurance (Romans 5:3-5) endurance character character hope How come? - Because God's love has been ...
