GOD


God is far too great for us to fully understand. He has no beginning and He has no end. There is no place where His presence is not felt. The Bible asks in Job 11 : 7
“Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?”
God Lives in Heaven and He rules over the whole earth. The Bible tells us: “This is what the Lord says: ‘Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool” (Isa 66 : 1)

“God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne” (Ps 47 : 8)
In this study we are going to be looking at special truths about God. These are facts about God’s unchanging character.  Through these you will understand more of what God is like. You will come to understand God and how He cares for you personally.

“You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them.
“You give life to everything and the multitudes of heaven worship you” (Neh 9 : 6).
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb”
(Ps 139 : 13)

“…..For who hath resisted his will? Hath not the potter power over the clay?”
(Rom 9 : 19-21).
“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all” (1 Chr 29 : 11).
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us (Eph 3 : 20).

3.    God is All-Knowing

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the,
“eyes of him to whom we must give account” (Heb 4 : 13).
“….God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything” (1 Jn 3 : 20).

What is Holy Monday

-
Answer: In Christianity, Holy Monday is the last Monday prior to Easter Sunday; it is the second day of Holy Week after Palm Sunday. Some denominations celebrate Holy Monday, and some do not. The Eastern Orthodox Church observes the day, typically marking it with Bible readings and certain hymns. According to tradition, Holy Monday is the day on which Jesus cleansed the temple, was praised by local children, and cursed the fig tree (Matthew 21:12–22). It is the day following Palm Sunday, when Jesus came to Jerusalem in the triumphal entry (Matthew 21:1–11). The following day is sometimes referred to as Holy Tuesday, the third day of Holy Week. We should note that events in the biblical Gospels were not necessarily written in chronological order. Also, since the Romans and the Jews had different methods for calculating the start of a day, an exact sequence of events is difficult to determine. For these reasons, we can’t be dogmatic about the chronology of events leading up to Jesus’ b

Glorify Him.

Daily Word 16th Oct. 2017 - Shruti Vanjare “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” - Matthew 5:16 All glory, on Heaven and on Earth belongs to God. He created us so that the people recognize His glory through our behavior and standard of living. In the above verse, Jesus explains how you need to let your light shine before men. By this, He means that your walk with God should be according to His standard so they glorify our Father in Heaven. The world may carry on doing things monotonously without keeping in mind the God of all creation, but that shouldn't be the case with us, who believe. When they see the good works in you, they start glorifying the God who is within you because it's certain that nothing can else bring such a transformation, but Jesus Himself. “Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may,

WHY DATE? To develop SOCIALLY & to learn how to INTERACT with the opposite sex . “17As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”  Proverbs 27:17 *Bottom line:  We learn from each other.   To grow SPIRITUALLY. “24 spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”  Hebrews 10:24 “13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.”   Hebrews 3:13 *You should ask yourself:   How can I help my bf/gf get closer to God? To find the one God has for you to MARRY. “31 whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”  1 Corinthians 10:31 *Date with the intention of finding your husband/wife because dating with no purpose or direction centered on God will bring you all kinds of trouble. Wrong reasons to date: For physical involvement. For emotional security. Because everybody else is.
