Why are you sleeping?

By Sidharth Mohandas  Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives and his disciples followed Him. On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from [...]

The Bread and the Wine

By Sidharth Mohandas In order to fully understand Scripture, I believe it is important that we study it in its original setting and context. As we all know, the New Testament or B’rit Chadashah is highly influenced by the Jewish culture and tradition. There are things in the Scripture we will never fully understand unless [...]

Conflicting Principles

Conflicting Principles

By Sidharth Mohandas In the initial phase of Jesus’ ministry, you find Him bringing His audience to a place of faith by intensifying the law. Anger was equated to murder (Matthew 5:21-22), lust to sexual immorality (Matthew 5:27-28), the standards for marriage were raised (Matthew 5:31-32), the severity of the judgment of sin was brought [...]

The Awakening: Kingdom Realities

The Awakening: Kingdom Realities

By Sidharth Mohandas Repent! As we come together to study and understand the topic of the Kingdom of God, we must realize that each of us bring along with us notions that have been influenced by our  varied backgrounds and experiences. Therefore it is very likely that we will reject anything outside our framework of [...]

Kingdom Entry

Kingdom Entry

by Daniel Dangoor Xerxes passed a decree that required all virgin women to present themselves before the King so that he could chose his bride. Our God also invites us to come to His palace so that Christ can choose His bride. Xerxes’ eunuch trained Esther on etiquettes – how to behave, what to wear, [...]

Remorse VS. Repentance

Remorse VS. Repentance

By Justin Jordan In his last post, Sidharth did an excellent job of defining the simple definition of the word “repentance”. He also pointed out that, “repentance is the first and foremost response the Gospel of the Kingdom demands from an individual.” It is no surprise that this foundational requirement has been dramatically distorted in [...]

Diverging Destinies

Diverging Destinies

By Sidharth Mohandas What happens after death? Do we cease to exist? Is there life after death? These are some questions that cross every person’s mind. In this article I desire to lift a part of the veil that separates this world from eternity by giving you a glimpse of what comes after death. There [...]

The Ketubah

The Ketubah

By PJ Sorensen When the New Covenant was written, Jewish wedding customs included a betrothal period before the wedding ceremony. The bride gave her consent and the parties involved established the terms of the marriage contract (ketubah). When the covenant was sealed with the bride and groom drinking from a cup of wine, the couple [...]

Kingdom Righteousness

Kingdom Righteousness

By Titto Thomas Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. In the previous article, when we looked at peace, we saw that there were two parts to this peace, firstly a ‘Peace with God’ and as [...]

Eyes glued on Him!

  By Sidharth Mohandas I believe the Lord is calling His people into greater dimensions of His Presence. The most dreadful place for us to be in is to cease to move from one dimension of glory to another. Scripture tells us that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what [...]

Discipleship Isn’t Puppetry

Discipleship Isn’t Puppetry

The word “discipline” many times conjures up negative feelings rather than positive ones. Too often we connect the word discipline to words like “punishment”, “reproof”, or “correction”. Yet discipline that the Scripture reveals to us is much more than mere retribution. The discipline God offers entails a huge spectrum of channels, used by Him for [...]

Moving on with God

Moving on with God

By Sidharth Mohandas My mind travels back to the day I was studying Mark chapter 1 with my mentor Egmont Mika. Studying the Scripture inductively has challenged my perspective in ways I thought I would never be challenged. Here I have been familiar with Scripture for nearly two decades and it seemed like I knew [...]

The Gospel Series: Hebrews 2:10-18

Welcome to another week of study on the book of Hebrews! So far the author has been ingraining deep within us the superiority of Christ above the Law. He does not hurry through this, and so shouldn’t we. Let the truth sink deep within your spirit, Jesus Christ is the ultimate and supreme message from [...]

The Gospel Series: Hebrews 2:5-9

We have been dealing with the book of Hebrews and  have seen so far that God has spoken to us in these last days not through a set of rules and regulations, nor has He spoken to us a message for moral betterment or better living, but His message is His Son. OBSERVATION LEVEL Today [...]

The Gospel Series: Hebrews 2:1-4

QUICK RECAP Before we continue to study Hebrews chapter 2, let me give you a quick recap of what we have seen so far. (1)   In Hebrews 1:1-4, the author contrasts the Son to the prophets (Hebrews 1:1-2) and the angels (Hebrews 1:4), establishing His superiority over each of them. We understand that His purpose [...]

The Gospel Series: Hebrews 1:5-14

The Gospel Series: Hebrews 1:5-14

In our previous study, we came to understand that the author of Hebrews was trying to establish the supremacy of the Son above the prophets and the angels. We understood that Christ is the ultimate, supreme…the final and full expression of the Father! (If you have missed the previous teaching, please click here.) Observation Level [...]

In the upcoming months Titto, Angie, and I will be teaching on the book of Galatians, Colossians, and Hebrews, respectively. We are expecting the Lord to do great things through the course of these teachings. Our approach in these teaching sessions will predominantly be inductive in nature (For more information about “Inductive Bible Study” Click [...]

Anastasis

Anastasis

By Sidharth Mohandas If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he [...]

Arise Lithuania 2010

We have been wanting to write a report of the meetings we recently had in Lithuania. We didn’t even feel like writing anything because we felt it would be an injustice or a understatement to the way He moved. The purpose for writing this report is to (1) Witness to what God has done (2) [...]
