Bible verses used: Read Philippians 1:27-30 & 2:12-18

Mother_TeresaIn these passages we read how St. Paul encouraged the believers of Philippi to apply their faith in Christ to their social life. It is clear that God’s intention is that believers should have an active influence for good in society (See Matthew 5:16). If we avoid society by locking our selves into a round of safe Christian activities and meetings, we cannot influence our world for God.

1. Contending for the faith

Even though Paul was unsure of the outcome of his imprisonment and impending trial, he was concerned that – whatever the outcome – his friends at Philippi should continue to live for God.

In today’s Bible study I want to address the practice of fasting prayer. I will be discussing it’s biblical basis, history, it’s purpose in spiritual realm and most importantly it’s importance to us?

Is it biblical to fast and pray?

Yes, it’s Biblical. A quick look at the Old Testament and New Testament history can give us evidence that fasting and prayer is biblical.

A Bible study on salt and light Matthew 5:13-16

images-7

Imagine your doctor advises you to avoid Salt. What is the best substitute you can find? (there are sweeteners for sugar and Pepper for chilly) Nothing right? There’s no substitute for Salt.

This is why Jesus said that we are the Salt of the earth. You cannot be replaced. Since the ancient days Salt had three major applications. It was used as a flavor, as a preserver and as a fertilizer as well. In other words to make things better. God have put us on the earth to make it a better place. So today’s study is about being Salt and the light. Let us see.

‘Ye are the Salt of the earth: but if the Salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be Salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men…’ Matthew 5:13-16 (KJV)
