    21. Then the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh said in answer to the heads of the families of Israel,

    22. “The Lord, God of gods! The Lord, God of gods! He knows; and let Israel itself know! If it was in rebellion or in breach of faith toward the Lord, do not spare us today

    23. for building an altar to turn away from following the Lord; or if we did so to offer burnt offerings or grain offerings or offerings of well-being on it, may the Lord himself take vengeance.

    24. No! We did it from fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, ‘What have you to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?

    25. For the Lord has made the Jordan a boundary between us and you, you Reubenites and Gadites; you have no portion in the Lord.’ So your children might make our children cease to worship the Lord.

    26. Therefore we said, ‘Let us now build an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice,

    27. but to be a witness between us and you, and between the generations after us, that we do perform the service of the Lord in his presence with our burnt offerings and sacrifices and offerings of well-being; so that your children may never say to our children in time to come, “You have no portion in the Lord.”’

    28. And we thought, If this should be said to us or to our descendants in time to come, we could say, ‘Look at this copy of the altar of the Lord, which our ancestors made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifice, but to be a witness between us and you.’

    29. Far be it from us that we should rebel against the Lord, and turn away this day from following the Lord by building an altar for burnt offering, grain offering, or sacrifice, other than the altar of the Lord our God that stands before his tabernacle!”

    1. I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,

    2. with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

    3. making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

    4. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling,

    5. one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

    6. one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.

    7. But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

    12. For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.

    13. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

    14. Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many.

    15. If the foot would say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

    16. And if the ear would say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

    17. If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?

    18. But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose.

    19. If all were a single member, where would the body be?

    20. As it is, there are many members, yet one body.

    21. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”

    22. On the contrary, the members of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,

    23. and those members of the body that we think less honorable we clothe with greater honor, and our less respectable members are treated with greater respect;

    24. whereas our more respectable members do not need this. But God has so arranged the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior member,

    25. that there may be no dissension within the body, but the members may have the same care for one another.

    26. If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.

    27. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

    11. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

    12. The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away—and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

    13. The hired hand runs away because a hired hand does not care for the sheep.

    14. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me,

    15. just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep.

    16. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.

    17. For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again.

    18. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father.”

Message From Vicar In Charge: Rev. Biju P. Simon

Dearly beloved in Christ, Greetings in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, one true God.As a Church, we are entering into the season of Pentecost.The Feast of Pentecost reminds us that the Holy Spirit is a strengthening Spirit, commissioning us to bear witness to Him in the world. It is a Spirit of authority and a Spirit of reconciliation, convincing the world about Sin, Righteousness, and Judgment. In June, we also celebrate Fathers Day, a time to honor the leaders, intercessors, and role models in our families. Let us remember the words of Ephesians 6:4: Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. This month, our church is also observing Environmental Sunday, which highlights the importance of Gods providence for creation and our human responsibility as stewards to protect and care for Gods creation.

Message From Youth Chaplain : Rev. Jess M. George Achen

Glory be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit - One true God! Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! As we approach Christmas, our hearts are filled with joy and anticipation, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, who came into the world to bring salvation and hope. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians (2:5-11), provides profound insight into the true significance of Christmas through the concept of kenosis, which means self-emptying.
