We have good brother named as Chinna Nageswarao and a Sister Chinnamai in Ramanjaneyapuram congregation. They too are sic.

This Week's Sermon:

Church Described: . As  family:God is our heavenly father; For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,15  Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, Ephesians 3:14,15. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Corinthians 6:18 . That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:3.
 

As the Body of Christ: Church is spiritual body of Christ1: For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 1 Corinthians 12:24,25,27., For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Ephesians 5:23 ,
 

As bride: For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:2,  Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it . Ephesians 5:25.
 

As kingdom:   Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. John 18:36 , Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: Colossians 1:13 
 

As a flock: And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. John 10:4,   Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 1 Peter 5:2, For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.1 Peter 2:25 …CON….

Word of Lord in Bible Class:  Differences between church of Christ and Denominations.
 

 I conducted a preacher's get together in my house.  We discuss about the work in the area and also share problems we are facing. The great problem is by denominations. They constructing church buildings and attract the Christians.
 

Still denomination leaders who shown Jesus Film try to talk  with the Christians in Rythunagar village and making promises of good building immediately  if they convert in to their denomination. But they remain faithful.
 

My wife and my 12 children are doing well. They are conveying their hearty greetings to you.
 

Prayer Request: I need your prayers and encouragement and financial help to continue the work. Please greet all brothers and sisters there with you. Closing with much prayers and thanks.
 

In the love of the Lord.

Your brother in Christ
