OT Lesson: Genesis 12:1-9 (CEB) The Lord said to Abram, “Leave your land, your family, and your father’s household for the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great nation and will bless you. I will make your name respected, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you,  those who curse you I will curse; all the families of the earth will be blessed because of you.” Abram left just as the Lord told him, and Lot went with him. Now Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran. Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all of their possessions, and those who became members of their household in Haran; and they set out for the land of Canaan. When they arrived in Canaan, Abram travelled through the land as far as the sacred place at Shechem, at the oak of Moreh. The Canaanites lived in the land at that time. The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I give this land to your descendants,” so Abram built an altar there to the Lord who appeared to h...

¡ Pack a Baby Pack! Saturday 2 P.M. Finally this coming Saturday is the Pack a Baby Pack! We have been waiting for it for such a long time, announcing each week. Now we are going to pack the baby packs for expecting mothers in Malawi (for your information, Malawi is a country in South-eastern Africa). These packs contain essential hygienic supplies, which are crucial for clean and healthy baby deliveries. Unfortunately, due to the lack of these items, many newborn babies and mothers face serious risks. By this, we can save lots of new born babies and their mothers. It is this coming Saturday, 2 P.M. at the fellowship hall.

We will resume the Saturday Bible Study from Saturday, May 4 th , 11:30 A.M. New Bible Study Book The Saturday Bible Study finished studying the Gospel of Luke. After discussion for the next Bible book for study, we concl...

OT Lesson: Genesis 2:4b-9 (GNT) When the Lord God made the universe, there were no plants on the earth and no seeds had sprouted, because He had not sent any rain, and there was no one to cultivate the land; but water would come up from beneath the surface and water the ground. Then the Lord God took some soil from the ground and formed a man out of it; He breathed life-giving breath into his nostrils and the man began to live. Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the East, and there He put the man He had formed. He made all kinds of beautiful trees grow there and produce good fruit. In the middle of the garden stood the tree that gives life and the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and what is bad. NT Lesson: Matthew 13:1-9 (NRSV) That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the lake. Such great crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat there, while the whole crowd stood on the beach. And He told them many things in parables, sayi...

OT Lesson: Genesis 1:14-19 (CEB) God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night. They will mark events, sacred seasons, days, and years. They will be lights in the dome of the sky to shine on the earth.” And that’s what happened. God made the stars and two great lights: the larger light to rule over the day and the smaller light to rule over the night. God put them in the dome of the sky to shine on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. God saw how good it was. There was evening and there was morning: the fourth day. NT Lesson: Matthew 12:38-42 (NRSV) Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, ‘Teacher, we wish to see a sign from You.’ But He answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For just as Jonah was for three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so for ...
