    1. It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty satraps, stationed throughout the whole kingdom,

    2. and over them three presidents, including Daniel; to these the satraps gave account, so that the king might suffer no loss.

    3. Soon Daniel distinguished himself above all the other presidents and satraps because an excellent spirit was in him, and the king planned to appoint him over the whole kingdom.

    4. So the presidents and the satraps tried to find grounds for complaint against Daniel in connection with the kingdom. But they could find no grounds for complaint or any corruption, because he was faithful, and no negligence or corruption could be found in him.

    5. The men said, “We shall not find any ground for complaint against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God.”

    6. So the presidents and satraps conspired and came to the king and said to him, “O King Darius, live forever!

    7. All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors and the governors are agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce an interdict, that whoever prays to anyone, divine or human, for thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be thrown into a den of lions.

    8. Now, O king, establish the interdict and sign the document, so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and the Persians, which cannot be revoked.”

    9. Therefore King Darius signed the document and interdict. Daniel in the Lions’ Den

    10. Although Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he continued to go to his house, which had windows in its upper room open toward Jerusalem, and to get down on his knees three times a day to pray to his God and praise him, just as he had done previously.

    17. By faith Abraham, when put to the test, offered up Isaac. He who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son,

    18. of whom he had been told, “It is through Isaac that descendants shall be named for you.”

    19. He considered the fact that God is able even to raise someone from the dead—and figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.

    20. By faith Isaac invoked blessings for the future on Jacob and Esau.

    21. By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, “bowing in worship over the top of his staff.”

    22. By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his burial. The Faith of Moses

    23. By faith Moses was hidden by his parents for three months after his birth, because they saw that the child was beautiful; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.

    24. By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called a son of Pharaoh’s daughter,

    25. choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

    26. He considered abuse suffered for the Christ to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to the reward.

    27. By faith he left Egypt, unafraid of the king’s anger; for he persevered as though he saw him who is invisible.

    28. By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel. The Faith of Other Israelite Heroes

    29. By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as if it were dry land, but when the Egyptians attempted to do so they were drowned.

    30. By faith the walls of Jericho fell after they had been encircled for seven days.

    31. By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had received the spies in peace.

    2. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.

    3. For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.

    4. For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function,

    5. so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another.

    6. We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith;

    7. ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching;

    8. the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness. Marks of the True Christian

    21. “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.

    22. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?’

    23. Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.’ Hearers and Doers

    24. “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.

    25. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on rock.

    26. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

    27. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its fall!”

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.

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.
