Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms
with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose
us in him before the creation of the world to be holy
and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he[a]
predestined us for adoption to sonship[b] through
Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and
will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he
has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we
have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness
of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace
8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and
understanding, 9 he[c] made known to us the
mystery of his will according to his good pleasure,
which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect
when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring
unity to all things in heaven and on earth under
Christ.

grant you to be strengthened with power through his
Spirit in your inner being,

18 may have strength to comprehend with all the
saints what is the breadth and length and height and
depth,

knowledge, that you may be filled with all the

Differently Abled
Christian Approach to the Differently Abled
2 Samuel 9:1-12
2 Corinthians 12:1-10
Matthew 15:29-31
Mephibosheth and Me
Forgiveness and restoration are provided for all in salvation.
We, like Mephibosheth, were born into a fallen dynasty. Like Mephibosheth,
we were by lineage under the sentence of exile and death.
And, like Mephibosheth, we could do nothing to help ourselves out of our
Predicament
Believing and receiving are all that is required for salvation.
We cannot earn our salvation by good works, giving to charity or by anything to
earn God’s favor. Believing and receiving are all that is required for salvation.
Our crippled feet are covered forever !
Ephesians 2:6-7 says, “God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the
heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the
incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness toward us in Christ
Jesus.”
The Lord meets the spiritual and physical needs of His followers.
The Lord still heal people today -- but if He chooses to not literally heal your physical
illness or difficulty, He can restore your soul so that you can live with that physical
handicap.

10. Voluntary Evangelist’s Day –
Carriers of the Gospel
The Call of Abram (Genesis 12:1-9)
12 Now the Lord said[a] to Abram, “Go from your
country[b] and your kindred and your father's house
to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of
you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your
name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will
bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors
you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth
shall be blessed.”[c]
The Great Commission (Mathew 28:16-20)
16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the
mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And
when they saw him they worshiped him, but some
doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All
authority in heaven and on earth has been given to
me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to
observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I
am with you always, to the end of the age.”,
Voluntary Evangelist’s Day – Carriers of the
Gospel
Genesis 12:1-9 (The call of Abraham) and
Mathew 28:16-20 (The great commission)
1. The promise to Abraham
1. God would make him a great nation
2. The promise of a land
3. The promise of a blessing which would spill over to all
mankind.
2. The above promise is fulfilled in the past, present and in the future
1. Past: Israel the people and the land
2. Present: It is through Abraham’s descendant ‘Jesus’ that the
blessing would spill over to the whole world
3. Future: Final fulfillment (John’s vision in Revelation – a great
multitude ‘redeemed’ from every tribe, language…in heaven)
3. Now we are Abraham’s seed by faith, and the earth’s families will
be blessed only if we go to them with the gospel.
Lord Teach us to obey you

11. Holy Qurbana: Sacrament of
Thanksgiving
1 Corinthians 11:23-30
23 For I received from the Lord what I also
delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night
when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he
had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my
body, which is for[a] you. Do this in remembrance of
me.”[b] 25 In the same way also he took the cup,
after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant
in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in
remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this
bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's
death until he comes.
27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the
cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be
guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord.
28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat
of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone
who eats and drinks without discerning the body
eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30 That is
why many of you are weak and ill, and some have
died.[c]
Holy Qurbana: Sacrament of Thanksgiving
1 Corinthians 11:23-30
1. The Lord’s Supper proclaims the finished work of Christ
2. A reminder of our continuing need for the gift of new life
and forgiveness the Supper celebrates
3. The blessings of the New Covenant are extended to all
believers

12. Gray Hair: Crown of Glory” Senior Citizen Day
Treasure in Jars of Clay 2Cor 4:7-18
7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to
show that the surpassing power belongs to God
and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed;
perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken;
struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the
death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our
bodies. 11 For we who live are always being given over to death for
Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our
mortal flesh. 12 So death is at work in us, but life in you.
13 Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been
written, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also
speak, 14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also
with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. 15 For it is all
for your sake, so that as grace extends to more
and more people it may increase thanksgiving,
to the glory of God.
16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer
self 4 is wasting away, our inner self his being
renewed day by day. 17 For this light
momentary affliction is preparing for us an
eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,
18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are
unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that
are unseen are eternal
Gray Hair: Crown of Glory” Senior Citizen Day
Treasure in Jars of Clay 2Cor 4:7-18
1. The valuable treasure is the message of the cross, the
gospel, the messengers are ordinary containers.
2. But, as a messenger of the gospel, we will be assaulted
and broken and tried. Only broken jars can show for the
light that is inside – the light of the gospel
3. The secret for the suffering and the dying is to renew each
day

Hebrews 4:16
Theological Education: To Strengthen the Faith
John 12:20-26
23 Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and
dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their
life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 Whoever serves me must
follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will
honor the one who serves me.
Galatians 6:14: “the world has been crucified to me, and I to
the world.”
Romans 12:1: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.”
