Hello and welcome to this episode of Agape Fellowship; here we learn God’s word verse by verse. We are in Matthew 6. In the last episode, we learnt how to give and pray in a manner that pleases God.  Today, we learn from verse 9, how Jesus Himself teaches us to pray in the right manner.   Jesus continues His awesome sermon on the mountain. Addressing God as Father and Jesus our brother brings us close to our Maker. Jesus teaches us to honour God and trust Him for daily needs; teaches us about forgiveness and keeping from temptations. Though Heaven and earth belong to Him, we can approach Him through prayer.

Matthew E29 - The model prayer

Hello and welcome to Agape fellowship where we read and study the word of God verse by verse. We learnt in the previous chapter that Jesus did not come to overthrow the law but to fulfill it. We Got an understanding of murder, reconciliation, divorce, adultery, revenge and love, especially loving the unlovable. Jesus is offering lessons on discipleship. We are now starting to read Matthew 6.   God cares about how we do good things. The road we travel, the motives we had in travelling and the end result in all matter. Good deeds gain merit and gain atonement when we do it in the eyes of God. As for prayer, God doesn’t approve of long and showy prayers but prefers truthful ones. Let us please God and not men. D

Matthew E28 -  Giving and praying; the right way

Hello and welcome to another episode of Agape Fellowship where we study the word of God verse by verse. Jesus is teaching the laws given by Moses with authority and clarity. In the earlier episodes, we understood God’s stand on anger, conflicts and adultery. We saw how God’s yardsticks are different from the carnal ones. Let’s continue to study from Verse 31.  Marriage is an earthly representation of the undying and sacrificial love Christ Jesus has for His bride, the Church. Though God hates divorce, He allowed it by His permissive will so we avoid hatred and murder, and keep the peace. This is a reminder to not take marriage vows lightly. Jesus also teaches us how to love our neighbours and wants us to go the extra mile to help others out. God will be our defender when wronged. Do join us in the next episode as we continue to learn.

Matthew E27 - What God joined together, let man not separate

Hello and welcome to Agape Fellowship. Here we study the word of God verse by verse. Jesus, in His Sermon on the mount, talks about law and the commandments. The laws given by Moses, with the passage of time transformed into pharisaic law. The commandments and law were interpreted by the Pharisees, giving rise to lots of traditions and confusion. Let’s listen in and see how Jesus sets things right as we continue our study from Matthew 5 verse 21.

We pray that the answer will be a blessing to know.
