uncovering - the UNCOVER London Mission - Part 1

Sophie's Clicks
Being in Essex (in South East England), which is something new for me is very exciting as it is a whole world apart when compared to the monotonous and really busy life of a Londoner. But I am here at Mile End 4 days a week, and have the urge to meet new people and be a witness for Christ everywhere I am. Its been four months since I am in UK and from the very first week of university, I have been involved with a group of friendly Christians who have not only been supportive but also really nice people.

In fact, I am the only Indian among the MSc program and although there are a few Christians in my course, I have not been able to talk about my love for Jesus to them. Now, this is compensated by the Queen Mary Christian Union and the lively bunch of programs we had so far. There was the Christmas carols and lovely talks on Creation, Relationship with Jesus, and a lot of wonderful study groups. Now, recently we had met for a project called uncover.


So what was/ is uncover? 


The Christian Union over the last year had done some nice surveys on what would people ask God? or how would they react to seeing Jesus here today? and what is your favourite film? The top choices in London were

* Lord of the Rings (Triology)
* The Shawshank Redemption
* Inception

Now what the UCCF had done was bring into light these films and help to strike a very good conversational topic that got a lot of students in London talking about it and we had a great speaker. Krish, as they call him, was splendid, he gave such wonderful analogies and made some topics very brilliantly crystal clear. the next post is on Karma with a great analogy by Krish

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. He won a 1932 Gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.[1] - Wikipedia The Nativity is painted during the peak of realism movement - in a gritty and less idealised ma...

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 ...
