 The Lent series is for March & April. In this series at Cross-Way, we’ll explore how we identify in the suffering of Christ. We will explore different angles to the meaning of the Cross and our sharing in it. Last year I wrote what John RW Stott says about the Cross of Christ, that it is the center and heart of Christianity, shaping the faith, ethics, and mission of the Church. “The cross is the unique place where God’s love, mercy, holiness, and justice meet.” Therefore, “the cross transforms everything.” It gives us a new, worshipping relationship to God, a new and balanced understanding of ourselves, a new incentive to give ourselves in mission, a new love for our enemies, and a new courage to face the perplexities of suffering.” (11).  
According to Stott, “Stott presents the cross as the defining event of Christian faith, emphasizing its necessity, significance, and implications for believers. He engages with biblical, historical, and theological perspectives, addressing key questions about atonement, salvation, and discipleship.” (chat GPT in summary of The Cross of Christ. No I don’t use ChatGPT to prep my sermons).  
These are some of the themes we will explore in this series. Here are some quotations from the book: “The cross enforces three truths: about ourselves, about God, and about Jesus Christ.” “The Christian life is not just a matter of getting into heaven, but of taking up the cross and following Christ.” “Suffering is the badge of true discipleship.”  
The Bible tells us that if we are to follow Christ, suffering is part of our lives calling, and we better learn to view them in the light of the Bible.  
The need for this series to address is that, our world of Nepali Christianity does not resonate with (or understand favorably) suffering, loss, pain and grief and lament as good or necessary part of our discipleship (following Christ honestly). The hardest challenge to Christianity is that “If God is good, why do we suffer, and there is so much suffering and evil in the world?” Our sufferings are part of our identifying with Jesus Christ and his cross. Suffering is profound. In our suffering we stand as God's priests in and with the world, as Christ did, as the Hebrews tell us. How can we do that in our time and age?  We will address these, ideas in this series.

Here are some quotations from the book: “The cross enforces three truths: about ourselves, about God, and about Jesus Christ.” “The Christian life is not just a matter of getting into heaven, but of taking up the cross and following Christ.” “Suffering is the badge of true discipleship.”  
The Bible tells us that if we are to follow Christ, suffering is part of our lives calling, and we better learn to view them in the light of the Bible.  
The need for this series to address is that, our world of Nepali Christianity does not resonate with (or understand favorably) suffering, loss, pain and grief and lament as good or necessary part of our discipleship (following Christ honestly). The hardest challenge to Christianity is that “If God is good, why do we suffer, and there is so much suffering and evil in the world?” Our sufferings are part of our identifying with Jesus Christ and his cross. Suffering is profound. In our suffering we stand as God's priests in and with the world, as Christ did, as the Hebrews tell us. How can we do that in our time and age?  We will address these, ideas in this series.]]>2131falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/hareka-upayale-susamacara-nai-ji-uchau-7-pa-arabina-pokharela--70434936https://api.spreaker.com/episode/70434936Wed, 04 Mar 2026 05:40:49 +0000Dc.

As mentioned earlier, we were hoping to do a series on Values of NRC? Cross-Way. However, I feel convicted these days about something closer to the believer’s lives, need of this season of the church’s life. I am feeling (and asked) that a series on Spiritual Gifts is more urgent to encourage believer’s to take active part/responsibility of their faith and in the church. (Values would have been another “abstract” ideas, great ideals that would seem a step removed from personal lives, which we will do some day)  
Next few weeks will focus on NRC Churches, considering the programs going on like Youth Conference, NRC National Conference, and Pastoral Formation, we will have guest speaker lined up for Oct 25th.  (We can also ask one NRC pastor to preach one Saturday if possible.)  
Spiritual Gifts are special gifts given to each and every believer. It is God’s grace. He gives as he determines (not our wishes). It is gifts of the Spirit (not simply physical talents) freely given to each and every believer to serve for the edification of his church. (see texts below). Spiritual Gifts, by name is given by the Holy Spirit. He works according to his character for his own mission in his style and rhythm, sometimes in mysterious ways. We know Him, and his desires revealed to us in His Word.  
Spiritual gifts require us to be obedient to God’s character, our calling and giftings. We have talents, way our lives are wired, network of relationships we live in, our placements (locations) and opportunities. With life’s possibilities we are able to learn, live, know, earn, spend, enjoy everything given in this life can be used in tandem with my Spiritual Gifts, purpose is always the same – to Love God (bring him honor and glory) and to love our neighbor (to watch them grow bear fruit and flourish to their potential God has made them with their set of Spiritual Gifts). That’s how God’s Kingdom expands, and His glory fills the earth.  
This is also our Thanksgiving (20th Anniversary) series. The focus is on each member are especially wired and gifted with their skills and talents to build the Body of Christ. We must  and culture towards the church. As a body of Christ, each of us are vital organs, 1 Corinthians 12, which is the foundations of understanding about the Spiritual Gifts, and then 1 Corinthians 13 & 14 complete the discussions on Spiritual Gifts. So we will focus this series on Everybody’s peculiar role and responsibility in building the body of Christ, as we are gifted, not necessarily as we wish or want.

As mentioned earlier, we were hoping to do a series on Values of NRC? Cross-Way. However, I feel convicted these days about something closer to the believer’s lives, need of this season of the church’s life. I am feeling (and asked) that a series on Spiritual Gifts is more urgent to encourage believer’s to take active part/responsibility of their faith and in the church. (Values would have been another “abstract” ideas, great ideals that would seem a step removed from personal lives, which we will do some day)  
Next few weeks will focus on NRC Churches, considering the programs going on like Youth Conference, NRC National Conference, and Pastoral Formation, we will have guest speaker lined up for Oct 25th.  (We can also ask one NRC pastor to preach one Saturday if possible.)  
Spiritual Gifts are special gifts given to each and every believer. It is God’s grace. He gives as he determines (not our wishes). It is gifts of the Spirit (not simply physical talents) freely given to each and every believer to serve for the edification of his church. (see texts below). Spiritual Gifts, by name is given by the Holy Spirit. He works according to his character for his own mission in his style and rhythm, sometimes in mysterious ways. We know Him, and his desires revealed to us in His Word.  
Spiritual gifts require us to be obedient to God’s character, our calling and giftings. We have talents, way our lives are wired, network of relationships we live in, our placements (locations) and opportunities. With life’s possibilities we are able to learn, live, know, earn, spend, enjoy everything given in this life can be used in tandem with my Spiritual Gifts, purpose is always the same – to Love God (bring him honor and glory) and to love our neighbor (to watch them grow bear fruit and flourish to their potential God has made them with their set of Spiritual Gifts). That’s how God’s Kingdom expands, and His glory fills the earth.  
This is also our Thanksgiving (20th Anniversary) series. The focus is on each member are especially wired and gifted with their skills and talents to build the Body of Christ. We must  and culture towards the church. As a body of Christ, each of us are vital organs, 1 Corinthians 12, which is the foundations of understanding about the Spiritual Gifts, and then 1 Corinthians 13 & 14 complete the discussions on Spiritual Gifts.

James is supposedly the first epistle written (around AD 45-47). The Church was just being formed in Jerusalem. Christians were being persecuted. After the death of Stephen, churches were scattered across the region (Acts 11:19). Douglas Moo says, “James, [head of Jerusalem church] addresses a pastoral admonition to these believers from his home church who had been scattered abroad because of persecution.” So the audience at large (the twelve tribes scattered among the nations”  v1) lived lives as “refugees”.  The scattered churches were struggling against the pressures from the society and culture “worldliness” around them. They were suffering from trials and temptations that refugees would face in a foreign land without inherent identity, rights and liberty.  
Worldliness is our problem as well. In a world where we live, we are pulled from every side, by the media, by society and neighbors around us, they speak volumes about what we should pursue, what is desirable, and how we should live our lives. Worldliness is right around us all the time, pulling us in different directions. Unless we choose to shut our eyes, seek God and his life for us, we’ll easily buy into those values and voices of the “vision of good life”.  
James, being the brother of Jesus, and having seen and heard, lived with Jesus and weighed his teaching against his own life and society around, he’s a believer in what he’s teaching as a reliable witness.  
This series will help us study every section of the book of James, drawing parallels to our lives, and drawing lessons on how we must learn to stand firm and steadfast amidst circumstances we face in our life from the world surrounding us.

“Pentecost is the epicenter” The Holy Spirit, S. Ferguson  
“Easter and Pentecost belong together. Easter commissions Jesus’ followers to a task; Pentecost gives the necessary equipment to accomplish it.” NT Wright.  
The meaning of the Pentecost must be attached to the Old Testament and the life of Jesus Christ, because that is how God revealed it and how the disciples understood it. And the Pentecost has deep rooted meaning for us in the present. But, the Pentecost is not a floating idea of “power of the Spirit” “free for all” to “grab and go”, “apply as you wish”. Nor is it an interesting history archived in the past. We must understand the Triune God, and the third person in the Trinity. We must see God's project plan aright through the Pentecost. This series will study the Bible sources, and discern what the Holy Spirit is saying to the church today, in terms of church’s identity and mission vocation.  
            Pentecost publicly marks the transition from the old to the new covenant, and signifies the commencement of the ‘now’ of the day of salvation (2 Cor 6:2). Pentecost is the epicenter, it ripples throughout the book of Acts, everywhere we see the Holy Spirit is manifested. Ferguson says, “The purpose for which the Spirit is given is nothing less than the reproduction of the image of God, …transformation into the likeness of Christ.” (Ferguson, The Holy Spirit, 92).  
            People throughout history and across Nepal have interpreted Pentecost to mean many things. Some think the Holy Spirit is a force to be reckoned with; power to receive and work with, be it for good things to do in the world here and now. There’s so much confusion about the person, nature, and work of the Holy Spirit, therefore confusion about our vocation today.  
      In this series we will look at the meaning from the OT and the NT to understand what the Pentecost meant for the people then and means for us now. Our focus will be however, to understand what Pentecost means for us now as a church and our mission- vocation we’re called to in this time and space.  
          Why did God give His Spirit to the church in time and context? Do we really know God the Holy Spirit? What is He here to do? How do we know and discern the Holy Spirit? What is He doing in the Church? What is the mission of the Church filled with the Holy Spirit?

      In this series we will look at the meaning from the OT and the NT to understand what the Pentecost meant for the people then and means for us now. Our focus will be however, to understand what Pentecost means for us now as a church and our mission- vocation we’re called to in this time and space.  
          Why did God give His Spirit to the church in time and context? Do we really know God the Holy Spirit? What is He here to do? How do we know and discern the Holy Spirit? What is He doing in the Church? What is the mission of the Church filled with the Holy Spirit?

“Pentecost is the epicenter” The Holy Spirit, S. Ferguson  
“Easter and Pentecost belong together. Easter commissions Jesus’ followers to a task; Pentecost gives the necessary equipment to accomplish it.” NT Wright.  
The meaning of the Pentecost must be attached to the Old Testament and the life of Jesus Christ, because that is how God revealed it and how the disciples understood it. And the Pentecost has deep rooted meaning for us in the present. But, the Pentecost is not a floating idea of “power of the Spirit” “free for all” to “grab and go”, “apply as you wish”. Nor is it an interesting history archived in the past. We must understand the Triune God, and the third person in the Trinity. We must see God's project plan aright through the Pentecost. This series will study the Bible sources, and discern what the Holy Spirit is saying to the church today, in terms of church’s identity and mission vocation.  
            Pentecost publicly marks the transition from the old to the new covenant, and signifies the commencement of the ‘now’ of the day of salvation (2 Cor 6:2). Pentecost is the epicenter, it ripples throughout the book of Acts, everywhere we see the Holy Spirit is manifested. Ferguson says, “The purpose for which the Spirit is given is nothing less than the reproduction of the image of God, …transformation into the likeness of Christ.” (Ferguson, The Holy Spirit, 92).

Resurrection is often thought of in terms of a historical event in the life of Jesus Christ, and people debate over the validity, possibility, and its historical meaning, etc. But, as NT Wright says that Resurrection is not simply about proving a historical event or its logic, rather in his words, “The message of Easter is that God’s new world has been unveiled in Jesus Christ and that you are now invited to belong to it.” NT Wright.

It’s a reliable account of what God has been cooking up since the creation, mystery now unveiled to us through Christ and his church.

This is a Lent series for March-April, 2025. In this series at Cross-Way, we’ll explore many different angles to the meaning of “the Cross of Jesus Christ”. John RW Stott says that the Cross of Christ is the center and heart of Christianity, shaping the faith, ethics, and mission of the Church. “The cross is the unique place where God’s love, mercy, holiness, and justice meet.” Therefore, “the cross transforms everything.” It gives us a new, worshipping relationship to God, a new and balanced understanding of ourselves, a new incentive to give ourselves in mission, a new love for our enemies, and a new courage to face the perplexities of suffering.” (11).  
According to Stott, “Stott presents the cross as the defining event of Christian faith, emphasizing its necessity, significance, and implications for believers. He engages with biblical, historical, and theological perspectives, addressing key questions about atonement, salvation, and discipleship.” (chat GPT in summary of The Cross of Christ. No, I don't use ChatGPT to prepare my sermons).  
These are some of the themes we will explore in this series. Here are some quotations from the book: “The cross enforces three truths: about ourselves, about God, and about Jesus Christ.” “The Christian life is not just a matter of getting into heaven, but of taking up the cross and following Christ.” “Suffering is the badge of true discipleship.”  
The need for this series address is that, our world of Nepali Christianity does not resonate with (or understand favorably) suffering, loss, pain and grief as a good and necessary part of our discipleship (following Christ honestly). The hardest challenge to Christianity is that “If God is so good, why is there so much suffering and evil in the world?” Personal sufferings, evil and injustice, especially if it comes upon innocent people like children. Similarly, the wars and its impact on people’s lives and community (like currently in Sudan, and Ukraine). We will address these, but exhaust the answers.  The Bible tells us that if we are to follow Christ, suffering is part of our lives calling, and we better learn to view them in the light of the Bible.

This is a Lent series for March-April, 2025. In this series at Cross-Way, we’ll explore many different angles to the meaning of “the Cross of Jesus Christ”. John RW Stott says that the Cross of Christ is the center and heart of Christianity, shaping the faith, ethics, and mission of the Church. “The cross is the unique place where God’s love, mercy, holiness, and justice meet.” Therefore, “the cross transforms everything.” It gives us a new, worshipping relationship to God, a new and balanced understanding of ourselves, a new incentive to give ourselves in mission, a new love for our enemies, and a new courage to face the perplexities of suffering.” (11).  
According to Stott, “Stott presents the cross as the defining event of Christian faith, emphasizing its necessity, significance, and implications for believers. He engages with biblical, historical, and theological perspectives, addressing key questions about atonement, salvation, and discipleship.” (chat GPT in summary of The Cross of Christ.

Why the topic “deeper church”.

But, we have to ask, what does God want, What would Jesus want in/from a church?

  Pastors and worship leaders have a responsibility to develop Sunday liturgies that can confront and respond to marketplace malformations. Worship trains our imagination that in turn shapes how we inhabit our workweek: [Saturday] worship is not some escape from ‘the work week.’ To the contrary, our worship rituals train our hearts and stir our desires toward God and his kingdom so that, when we are sent from worship to take up our work, we do so with a habituated orientation toward the Lover of our souls. This is why we need to think about habit-shaping practices-vocational liturgies,’- that we can sustain this love throughout the week.” (You are What You Love, 187) “Workers are people who are integral to the mission of God.” Dorothy Sayers, Creed or Chaos?  
 Our failed offerings: There are offerings that are not acceptable to God, such as Cain’s offerings, Eli son’s and Saul’s offerings. Why? They are only for show, shallow, technical to get something back. Our hearts are not in it. God’s desires are not considered. Love for our neighbors and world around are not measured appropriately. Are we offering (bringing to God) that he does not like or accept?  
Matt and Cory say in their book Work & Worship, church needs “Reimagining of the offerings”. “Offering can return to its ancient focus whereby the community renders its whole life and whole labor to God in Worship (Work & Worship, 236). How can we reimagine offering whole lives to God as a living and working sacrifice? (Rom 12:1). They say, “In light of our investigations of Scripture, history, and the global church, there are four principles that can inform the future of the offering rituals. Offerings need to strive to be more embodied, creational, vocational and communal.” (237). By this they mean “offerings need to engage our bodies, our material world, our daily work, and they need to actively connect worshippers to one another and their city.” (237). During this Thanksgiving season, we will follow these themes, and principles from the book, particularly found in Chapter 9 “Offerings of the Early Church”.  
In light of our reimagined offerings, we as Cross-Way want to be a consciously offering church, a church that loves God, gives whole life to the mission of God, and loves our city and the world (starting with Nepal). Thanksgiving is a season of harvest. Even though many of us living in the city do not farm, our lives are closely connected with the products of the soil. We must eat food that our lands produce. We work various jobs each day, and earn money, which allows us to be fed and live. We all want to live healthy lives that pleases God.  
 Offerings acceptable to God is a Thanksgiving series that will explore a) Why God of Creation asked for offerings? B) What do offerings in the OT and NT mean? C) What are principles that the historical church have valued as acceptable to God? D) What kinds of offerings should we bring to the Lord, that are acceptable to him (and what kinds are not acceptable to him)?

Worship trains our imagination that in turn shapes how we inhabit our workweek: [Saturday] worship is not some escape from ‘the work week.’ To the contrary, our worship rituals train our hearts and stir our desires toward God and his kingdom so that, when we are sent from worship to take up our work, we do so with a habituated orientation toward the Lover of our souls. This is why we need to think about habit-shaping practices-vocational liturgies,’- that we can sustain this love throughout the week.” (You are What You Love, 187) “Workers are people who are integral to the mission of God.” Dorothy Sayers, Creed or Chaos?  
 Our failed offerings: There are offerings that are not acceptable to God, such as Cain’s offerings, Eli son’s and Saul’s offerings. Why? They are only for show, shallow, technical to get something back. Our hearts are not in it. God’s desires are not considered. Love for our neighbors and world around are not measured appropriately. Are we offering (bringing to God) that he does not like or accept?  
Matt and Cory say in their book Work & Worship, church needs “Reimagining of the offerings”. “Offering can return to its ancient focus whereby the community renders its whole life and whole labor to God in Worship (Work & Worship, 236). How can we reimagine offering whole lives to God as a living and working sacrifice? (Rom 12:1). They say, “In light of our investigations of Scripture, history, and the global church, there are four principles that can inform the future of the offering rituals. Offerings need to strive to be more embodied, creational, vocational and communal.” (237). By this they mean “offerings need to engage our bodies, our material world, our daily work, and they need to actively connect worshippers to one another and their city.” (237). During this Thanksgiving season, we will follow these themes, and principles from the book, particularly found in Chapter 9 “Offerings of the Early Church”.  
In light of our reimagined offerings, we as Cross-Way want to be a consciously offering church, a church that loves God, gives whole life to the mission of God, and loves our city and the world (starting with Nepal). Thanksgiving is a season of harvest. Even though many of us living in the city do not farm, our lives are closely connected with the products of the soil. We must eat food that our lands produce. We work various jobs each day, and earn money, which allows us to be fed and live. We all want to live healthy lives that pleases God.

We have been studying the Vocation of the Church (that Resurrection & Pentecost has given to us). The key themes have been we’ve been called to God’s specific work in this world. One Sunday we studied from 1 Corinthians 12 about the Spiritual Gifts. Our spiritual gifts are our particular ways each of us have been called to serve in the church. It is important for each one to understand (discover) what is their spiritual gifts, as a person, as a family, as a community and even a nation. And then to employ them (as gifts received) to “build the church” (see 1 Cor. 12:4,7, Romans 12:3-6 for the definition). In knowing my spiritual gifts, I must also know what God has called me/us to do in this world.   Spiritual Gifts (1 Cor 12): Me and my family have been especially gifted with certain (skills, money, relationships, benefits) for this we feel responsible to contribute. There are weaker members in the body of Christ, for whom we are responsible to look after. This is a responsibility God has entrusted to us in His Body. Keeping in mind, some of the needs within our congregation, such as families being separated by life’s circumstances, having to go away to the cities or abroad to work and send money back home. Many have grown up without parents in their homes, thus struggling with loneliness and/or other issues of the mind and the hearts. Your special gifts, talents, privileges (you’ve been born in a certain place, you have certain network of relationships- family, friends, neighbors, people we know in higher places, or gov’t offices). Let us leverage everything to serve God, his church and bring glory to God.  
The goal of this series is  a)  Discover the gifts and resources each person has, b)  Understand the church as the body of Christ, c)  Live healthy life for own self, in family and in the community around d)  Learn how can one serve in the church more effectively, and   I am wonderfully equipped to serve the Body of Christ Topic: “My Vocation [duty] to Serve God and Family”

Knowing God requires understanding the Resurrection. We will take the resurrection passages from the Bible to study. The study will focus on how we can live in/out the Resurrection in our lives today.
Too often, we think of the Resurrection as the future reality, after we die. Therefore, it becomes no immediate concern for us today, other than prepare for after life, thus we lose interest or significance for the life here and now. Peter says, “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. (1 Pet 3:15). Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:
14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
If we are people with resurrection hope, we must live differently than the ways of the world, as God in Jesus Christ have set an example for us. So we will explore what this “Living in/out the Resurrection” look like in our lives here and now.

The priest then leads us in confession: "We have not loved you with our whole heart" and a confession of more specific sins, while we pray, "Have mercy on us, Lord." The time of prayer ends with a comforting pronouncement that the Lord "pardons and absolves all those who truly repent and with sincere hearts believe his holy gospel."

The bread of communion is a saltless, wholesome, dark brown bread—nourishing. The wine tastes tangy. I still like wine better at communion than the flat grape juice we now use at our church. The sharp bitterness of the wine and its association with celebration capture better the mixture of sadness and joy of the Supper. The closing prayer sends us on our way: "Look with compassion, O Lord, upon this your people; that rightly observing this holy season, they may learn to know you more fully, and to serve you with a more perfect will; through Christ our Lord."…
Why Wednesday? Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. The early church determined that the Lenten period of fasting and renewal should correspond to Christ's fasting (Matt. 4:2), and by counting forty days back from Easter (excluding Sundays, which remain "feast" days), arrived at the Wednesday seven weeks before Easter. At one time Lent was primarily viewed as a period during which converts prepared for baptism on Easter Sunday, but later the season became a general time of penitence and renewal for all Christians. And Ash Wednesday became the day that marked the beginning of the Lenten renewal.
Why "Ash"? Ashes have a long history in biblical and church traditions. In Scripture ashes (dust) symbolize frailty or death (Gen. 18:27), sadness or mourning (Esther 4:3), judgment (Lam. 3:16) and repentance (Jon. 3:6). Some traditions also have considered ash a purifying or cleansing agent. All these images are caught up in the church's use of ashes as a symbol appropriate for Lent. In Christ's passion we see God's judgment on evil; in our penitence we express sorrow and repentance for our sins; in our re-dedication we show that we are purified and renewed. The ash used in Ash Wednesday worship services is usually the ashes from the palm leaves of the previous year's Palm Sunday celebration. Mixed with water or oil, the ash is carried in a small dish; as the minister goes from person to person, he dips his thumb in the ash and makes a cross on each forehead ("imposition"). And to each person he says, "Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return." (Gen 3:17) The cleansing motif of ashes is reiterated in the psalm reading that follows: "Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin" (Ps. 51:2). And the ultimate outcome for the penitent child of God is reflected in the closing prayer: "… that the rest of our life hereafter may be pure and holy, so that at the last we may come to his eternal joy…" (Book of Common Prayer).]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/52821972Wed, 22 Feb 2023 11:36:43 +0000Dc.

Mixed with water or oil, the ash is carried in a small dish; as the minister goes from person to person, he dips his thumb in the ash and makes a cross on each forehead ("imposition").

"The celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul, who know themselves to be poor and imperfect, and who look forward to something greater to come." ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer


Advent symbolizes the present situation of the church in these “last days” (Acts 2:17, Hebrews 1:2) as God’s people wait for the return of Christ in glory to consummate his eternal kingdom. The church is in a similar situation to Israel at the end of the Old Testament: in exile, waiting and hoping in prayerful expectation for the coming of the Messiah. Israel looked back to God’s past gracious actions on their behalf in leading them out of Egypt in the Exodus, and on this basis, they called for God once again to act for them. In the same way, the church, during Advent, looks back upon Christ’s coming in celebration while at the same time looking forward in eager anticipation to the coming of Christ’s kingdom when he returns for his people.



O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.



Advent is intended to be a season of fasting, much like Lent, and there are a variety of ways that this time of mourning works itself out in the season. Reflection on the violence and evil in the world causes us to cry out to God to make things right—to put death’s dark shadows to flight. Our exile in the present makes us look forward to our future Exodus. And our own sinfulness and need for grace lead us to pray for the Holy Spirit to renew his work in conforming us into the image of Christ.



“When the Church celebrates the liturgy of Advent each year, she makes present this ancient expectancy of the Messiah, for by sharing in the long preparation for the Savior’s first coming, the faithful renew their ardent desire for his second coming. By celebrating the precursor’s birth and martyrdom, the Church unites herself to his desire: ‘He must increase, but I must decrease.’” (John the Baptist)



It is between the fulfilled promise of Christ’s first coming and the yet-to-be-fulfilled promise of his second coming that Karl Barth penned these words:

“Unfulfilled and fulfilled promises are related to each other, as are dawn and sunrise. Both promise and in fact the same promise. If anywhere at all, then it is precisely in the light of the coming of Christ that faith has become Advent faith, the expectation of future revelation. But faith knows for whom and for what it is waiting. It is fulfilled faith because it lays hold on the fulfilled promise.”



The promise for Israel and the church is Jesus Christ; The Lord has come to earth and will arrive again.

We will pause the series on James, to focus on the season’s theme of Thanksgiving. Sabbath is an underlying theme for us as a church, and going through it at least once in a year is necessary. Sabbath was intended to create grateful people and a community. The whole purpose of Creation and Law was to ensure people who come before God with gratitude (ritualistically, habitually, routinely) so as to ensure life centered around God, His presence and mission in the world. This series will focus on how Sabbath (worship and rest at least once a week) was intended to bring people back into their created focus- living before God for the sake of their neighbors. This focus is necessary, because the world- our lives, families, society, nation and world in its default culture tends to run away from God-centered lives to self-centered, consumer driven culture.
Thanksgiving is a harvest season, where the fruit of our labors (fields or factories, friends and family) are signs of God’s provision. World and everything in it is so much more than what we could’ve created for ourselves or control with our knowledge and resources. This season is a reminder that God is in control and we are grateful recipients; and as grateful recipients we live with our hands open in response to enjoy, but also to share and give towards what makes our neighbors and others in our reach to flourish.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/51986863Wed, 23 Nov 2022 05:41:09 +0000Dc.

We praise God for he has given us such a beautiful web of relationship in order for us to grow in both dimensions, vertical and horizontal. We are in family. On the other side of the coin, family has also become a hub where demonic narratives are taught, applied and lived out. In other words, culture, values, practices in family are shaped by false stories. For example, money, sex, and romance have been narrated as everything – the goal of human relationship. Tim Keller puts these forces in the context of idolatry. In Nepal for many reasons, marriages are broken, divorce rate is increasing, single mother and father also going up every day and children, youth are left in their own. Overseas work, distant relationship, financial insecurity, family planning, extra marital affairs and other reasons are causing much problem in a family. Not surprisingly, Church has suffered the same consequences. Family care and counseling is seen as an urgent ministry of the church today. Though we are not fixer we are ought to love one another, serve each other, and to practice the presence of the Holy Spirit who applies and brings gospel renewal in our relationship as an antidote to make us grow in His Image – Jesus Christ. Thus, the way Jesus lived as a family member, the things he spoke and taught about family system is the only true and reliable Gospel story. So, in this preaching series, we shall learn some basic practices of Christian family with the view that practicing Holy Spirit is an essential element to make familial relationship fruitful and Christ centered.

Resurrection is the central event of Christian life. It’s narratives both in history when Jesus was raised from the dead, but also in our own lives need defining and re-imagining for real life habits and cultural practices. If death is the ultimate enemy that has it’s grip over our lives, resurrection (of Jesus and therefore ours) sets us free, free enough for us to imagine God’s Kingdom here and now in our lives.

Need: We are bound to our own “business as usual” and distracted by our lives’ demands on us, keeping too busy to “create, make [manufacture] and control” that we’ve kept ourselves preoccupied leaving hardly any room for the wonderment, deeper meaning and at the mysteries of resurrection.

Resurrection is often presented as something to be argued, debated, proven and believed. While those are necessary about Resurrection, and have served the cause of Truth claims.

This is a general series on Prayer. There’s no one book or fixed sub-topics under the topic of Prayer, (we suggest a bibliography). Preach what you (as teaching elders/leaders of the church, see good and suitable for the life of Prayer in the church.

Goal of this series is to raise a praying-church- committed, persistent in-community praying.

Jesus said, “My house shall be called the house of prayer for all people, but you have made it a den of robbers” If a church is not guided or let into prayer, it’ll become a “commercial center” of sorts. There’s no new clever program, just urging people to come and pray, pray in your spaces, best in groups and families.

We have finished the series on “Church & the Gospel Responsibility” through the book Faithful Presence, where we focused on being present with people with intentionality to bring God’s presence through the Holy Spirit to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. These will be good resource to have on web-based where people can go back to listen and think and discuss. There’s a sense of “new paradigm” being set for understanding the gospel and the church as a practicing community- i.e. not a social set up for same old tradition for gaining self-propagated vision of power, status, and achieving personal dreams.

In the same line of thought, invoking the presence of God and the Holy Spirit [old concept of “epiclesis”] we begin to give God the space and time priority (not own time and prayer concerns as priority). This means do not be afraid of silence to listen to God and his Word and thoughts he brings to us, ideas he gives, and direction he leads us. If God is alive and active among us, his acts (works) and thoughts (imaginations) are given space and priority. It will take time and practice to get used to such praying habits, but exercising is necessary.]]>tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/1253559832Wed, 20 Apr 2022 10:00:37 +0000Dc.

Goal of this series is to raise a praying-church- committed, persistent in-community praying.

Jesus said, “My house shall be called the house of prayer for all people, but you have made it a den of robbers” If a church is not guided or let into prayer, it’ll become a “commercial center” of sorts. There’s no new clever program, just urging people to come and pray, pray in your spaces, best in groups and families.

We have finished the series on “Church & the Gospel Responsibility” through the book Faithful Presence, where we focused on being present with people with intentionality to bring God’s presence through the Holy Spirit to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. These will be good resource to have on web-based where people can go back to listen and think and discuss. There’s a sense of “new paradigm” being set for understanding the gospel and the church as a practicing community- i.e. not a social set up for same old tradition for gaining self-propagated vision of power, status, and achieving personal dreams.

In the same line of thought, invoking the presence of God and the Holy Spirit [old concept of “epiclesis”] we begin to give God the space and time priority (not own time and prayer concerns as priority). This means do not be afraid of silence to listen to God and his Word and thoughts he brings to us, ideas he gives, and direction he leads us. If God is alive and active among us, his acts (works) and thoughts (imaginations) are given space and priority. It will take time and practice to get used to such praying habits, but exercising is necessary.]]>1850falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/mandali-ra-susamacarako-dahitva-6-pa-arabina-pokharela--49002185tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/1229022517Wed, 09 Mar 2022 08:38:56 +0000Dc.

New year is here. We are looking forward to it with new hope and, encouragement. We celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ. Jesus was not only born but he also lived, suffered, died and rose on the third day and he is coming again. This is the fulness of the gospel that we proclaim.
We have made goals and plans in the previous years, but we know many of us have not been able to it follow through. Goals and plans will fail. It’s not wrong to make plans and set goals but we cannot always fulfill them and certainly we leave them half-way through when things get tough. Therefore, it isn’t enough to make plans and set goals, we also need to look to the one who is able to accomplish them for us.
Let’s look at from 1 Peter 1:3-9, three things that might help us look forward to the New Year with renewed hope.
Jesus has come, suffered, died and rose from the dead and he is coming again. Therefore,
1.We have a living hope (3-4)
Hope is something that helps us look forward to the future. We all hope for something (return of investment, promotion, graduation etc). The difference between Christian and worldly hope is that the worldly hope is a hope without God. It does not have a power to change hopelessness into hope. But Christian hope has a power (the resurrection power) to change our hopelessness into a living hope because Jesus has been raised from the dead. Jesus is the source of our hope, and this living hope is found nowhere else other than Jesus.
2.Our future is secure (4)
Why do people work so hard? What are they looking for? Why are they not happy with what they have?
People are looking for secure future in places like:
•Wealth and money – people think that if they invest certain amount of money that will earn this much in the future and the future will be secure.
•Job – If I get this kind of job and paid this much money, my life will be secure. People look for security in their profession.
•Relationship – people look for security in marriages. Why many marriages have problems? It’s because they think that marriage will provide security for them and when they don’t find it, they become unhappy, and problems starts to rise. Our ultimate hope is in Jesus because he has made it right what has gone wrong.
3.There is joy in the middle of suffering (5)
It’s hard to go through suffering. We have experienced suffering of many sorts in our lives. It is painful. We panic when it comes. However, as Christians we can rejoice in our suffering. The reasons why we can rejoice in suffering is because:
•We are called to suffer (1 Pet. 2:21)
•Suffering has a goal (1 Pet. 1:7)
In summary, if you are in Christ, you have a living hope, your future is secure and there is joy in suffering. If you are not a Christian, sadly you won’t have all of these. If you are not a Christ, I encourage you to know who Jesus is and what he can offer. If you are a Christian, you might not have these with you either. Pray that God will grant hope, security and joy in your life. Life without living hope, feeling secure of present and the future and joy cannot glorify God.]]>tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/1190652856Wed, 05 Jan 2022 08:59:19 +0000Dc.

We had a very meaningful NRC conference over the past week. The highlights of the week was in my view the sharing of our stories, celebrating what God is doing among us, with a keen eye and anticipation for what God wants to do through us in our churches and in Nepal. It was also a time of self examination, and preparations. I want to personally thank everyone who worked very hard to make all the events possible and enjoyable.

This is the season of Advent. During Advent we focus on the coming of Christ. It is a season of waiting, preparing with Advent candles of hope, faith, peace, and love in anticipation of Christ’s coming. We at Cross-Way also prepare for evangelism and outreach as it has been a suitable season to invite neighbors, share the gospel, and even prepare for going outside to help other pastors and leaders to preach the gospel reaching out to their neighbors.

The first sermon focused on the Christmas of the OT. The idea behind is that we often forget there is a whole world of people, culture, personality and context of time/space behind the story we read and often quickly put into our (or recently borrowed) ideas of culture, from our own perspectives. We are “imprisoned by the present,” whereas we must live inside God’s Big Story (grand plan of salvation and revelation). Thus the series will focus on digging deeper into the prophecies spoken around the Christmas events, the obscure prophecies (not often focused on Christmas messages), for there are many prophecies fulfilled around Jesus’ birth.]]>tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/1186582612Wed, 29 Dec 2021 08:28:49 +0000Dc.

The question is, what do they mean? And what do they point to- because blood of animals or offer of grains are not in itself what God wanted.
OT Sacrificial system bore heavy weights in life and society (personal, communal, economic). Notice how often they were required and how detailed the rituals were, which points to the significance for what they meant. Studying them, these were some of the reasons, as to WHY sacrifice offerings were required: A) Acknowledging and honoring God’s presence (Character of Holiness). B) Remembering Covenant Commitments. C) Symbolize Atonement (sacrifices for reconciling) appropriate to the sin/guilt. D) Value ascribed by voluntarily (freely) and willingly giving. They were never enough (elements, rituals) but were symbols = showing (alluding to) the essence and understanding of greater things God desired and meaning of life. Even though we are not required to bring sacrifice or material offerings today, the meanings behind those sacrifice rituals shows what was/is in God’s heart, which has not changed, because God has not changed. But, what does our lives show to/about God from what/how we give. Are our offerings worthy (show value & meaning) of God we worship? What are we giving? How are we giving? What does that mean? Are we giving less than our best?

The Need: Too often our lives, in the midst of modern progressive lifestyle, namely of fast-pace globalized world connected with internet at our finger tips, literally with smart phones and access of information from across the world, have made us busy and pre-occupied and selfish. Consumer driven lifestyle, ironically, has left us empty. To experience what the world has in offer you must make money to have access. Go make money, by all means possible, get jobs, education, access (visa), preoccupies our lives. This is an age of instant gratification, our culture have lost (or forgotten) the secret and art of gratefulness. We must look to the root and sources from where our blessings come and learn to say Thank You.
“The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality, and the last is to say ‘thank you’.” Max De Pree.

Goal: We will learn the arts and motif of grateful response to God.
We will understand (re-focus) what makes up the foundations of Christian life, (namely God has graciously not only created the world and everything in it, provided all things necessary to sustain our lives [vegetables that grow, parents who birthed and raised us, or not; oxygen we breath] Jesus Christ who has given us eternal life and hope to live now) accomplished our salvation.

The question is, what do they mean? And what do they point to- because blood of animals or offer of grains are not in itself what God wanted.
OT Sacrificial system bore heavy weights in life and society (personal, communal, economic). Notice how often they were required and how detailed the rituals were, which points to the significance for what they meant. Studying them, these were some of the reasons, as to WHY sacrifice offerings were required: A) Acknowledging and honoring God’s presence (Character of Holiness). B) Remembering Covenant Commitments. C) Symbolize Atonement (sacrifices for reconciling) appropriate to the sin/guilt. D) Value ascribed by voluntarily (freely) and willingly giving. They were never enough (elements, rituals) but were symbols = showing (alluding to) the essence and understanding of greater things God desired and meaning of life. Even though we are not required to bring sacrifice or material offerings today, the meanings behind those sacrifice rituals shows what was/is in God’s heart, which has not changed, because God has not changed. But, what does our lives show to/about God from what/how we give. Are our offerings worthy (show value & meaning) of God we worship? What are we giving? How are we giving? What does that mean? Are we giving less than our best?

The Need: Too often our lives, in the midst of modern progressive lifestyle, namely of fast-pace globalized world connected with internet at our finger tips, literally with smart phones and access of information from across the world, have made us busy and pre-occupied and selfish. Consumer driven lifestyle, ironically, has left us empty. To experience what the world has in offer you must make money to have access. Go make money, by all means possible, get jobs, education, access (visa), preoccupies our lives. This is an age of instant gratification, our culture have lost (or forgotten) the secret and art of gratefulness. We must look to the root and sources from where our blessings come and learn to say Thank You.

In the past 3-4 years, during July-August Cross-Way focuses on Christian Family. Family is the primary place of discipleship, more so than the church. Family is at the core of our spirituality, it is the hub of emotional and overall health. It is also the center of our lives where dreams are made and desires are formed. Thus, following Jesus (discipleship) must begin at home from the very foundations of our lives.
We have been under the pandemic for the past 18 months. Life has been difficult, to some very difficult. It has made us stay lockdown to our bases, houses, rooms and basic things of life. Many have lost jobs, therefore earnings, and the savings have dried up. Future hopes are flickering like an oil-lamp running out of oil. Dreams have been crushed, hopes disappointed. God seems far away or none-existent. Many are suffering from mental instability. In times such as these, what will keep faith burning? How should we keep our spirituality practically alive and active?

This series will focus on attending to our bases for spiritual and holistic health. We are calling this series “attending to our foundations”. Foundation is what holds the house together in times of crisis. They are deep, under the surface steady and constant, which determines how we will weather (stand) the seasons and crises in life. Things that determine build strong foundations are stones, cement, rebar or rods, sand and gravels, etc. Similarly, What would it take to build solid foundations of our lives, both personally and corporately. We will explore the foundational elements of our lives, namely, emotional, psychological, social, communal (social) and spiritual health. The series will also provide guidelines with recommended practices for building strong family foundations, strong enough to withhold earthquakes and disasters life in Nepal will inevitably bring.]]>tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/1116829045Wed, 01 Sep 2021 10:33:06 +0000Dc.

Need for the series is prompted by- a. the new building, b. the COVID-impacted context for ministry, c. refining “ministry model” necessary, we’ve been considering over past few years, d. certain confusions created by church and ministries we’ve seen elsewhere, and our own pre-conceived notions about church and its purpose and functions, e. and perhaps, Pastor Arbin’s studies over past 7-years on church and pastoral formation focus.

What kind of church do we want to be known for and become, as our children are watching keenly? What vision and aspirations do we fill their hearts and desires and imaginations for/about the church? Essentially what is church as it exists in the mind of Triune-God, Jesus the founder (life death and resurrection) and Holy Spirit our God-with-us-now? And church (ministries) as it exists in the hearts and minds of our pastors/leaders and members. Where do we want to invest our lives and resources in? Therefore, we hope to set a pace of life (Rhythm) at xWay for these values we believe church to be, and help each member get on board.

“Prepare the way of the Lord” is a series towards Christmas 2020. 2020 has been the year of COVID-19, a year of lockdown.

There has been no other more urgent time (in world scale) to pray “come Lord Jesus.” Death, disease, suffering and grief has taken its toll. This is against God’s will for the world. Jesus said, “I’ve come to give you life, life to the full.” This Christmas, we “prepare the ways of the Lord” This means a) understanding the Lord, b) his ways, and then c) preparing.

A series of messages for this season of life- six months into Corona Virus pandemic and its impacts in Nepal. The lockdown has caused much stress in the normal life, not only in Nepal for us, but for everyone across the world. As of today (Sept 25) 31,375,000 cases, 966,400 deaths (almost one million) 235 countries. 10,00,000 people’s death is not a simple thing (around 400 lives in Nepal)- even though most of us have not caught or suffered in our bodies, the life in this community, this country, and our world has impacted us. Furthermore, Nepal has suffered from landslides and floods (taking over 350 lives this year), locusts among other disasters and collateral or prolonged impacts (jobs, economy, mental health, etc.), What should be our (church’s and individual’s) response?
The leaders in the church and trusted godly people across the world have called for a time of lament. Everyone grieves in life, suffering and pain are part of everyone’s life, but as Christians we are called to peculiar form of grief, a sorrow deep and honest, that reaches out to our neighbors from depths of our hearts out of genuine concern, and godly love, what we are calling “Christian Lament”.
This series addresses the need that Nepali churches are not equipped (in proper biblical knowledge and traditional culture) for lamentation, nor do they have a practice, a proper tradition to live out Christian lament. We will learn in this series.

Definition: Christian Lament is honest human expression over the losses in life, with full range of human emotions, which is expressed towards loving God, who hears honest cries and prayers addressed to him by his people. It is not hasty in explanations or shallow solutions, but patiently dwell amidst the circumstances, with God and trusted friends within faithful community in becoming mature in fullness of Christ’s character.]]>tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/918881611Wed, 28 Oct 2020 08:19:01 +0000Dc.

Introduction to the Series: Temple is a big theme in the Bible. Creation is a temple, God’s abode where he chooses to dwell and act. Eden is a temple, a center where God meets (reveals and fellowship) with Adam and Eve (human beings). Here he makes covenant (terms of relationship) and seals with rituals that suits his Holy nature and character (which human beings don’t fully understand, but are called to follow and obey). Sinai (see first sermon on Exo 24) is a temple, Israel turns to God, God speaks and instructs the people he chose for his presence (Exo 19:5,6). In this way, the temple theme continues through out OT. In the NT, Jesus comes as the new temple. Paul and Apostles speak of the temple with regards to (continuity and discontinuity of OT themes). We look forward to the Eschatalogical Temple, when God will dwell with his people.
These themes have deeper significance with our lives, with regards to our religious and spiritual lives, as we live in secular age. People claim, “I want spirituality but I don’t want to be religious.” In Eugene Peterson’s words, “we have insatiable hunger for God, but do not want church.”

The purpose of the series is to bring deeper hunger to surface and acknowledge and own our desire for God and know-how to turn and live before him. A study through scripture will make us aware of God’s purpose in giving Temples (and rituals around it) to people to make his presence immanent, yet in reverence and adorations. A secondary purpose is to know why this great big expensive church building in Kathmandu, we’ve just built. How to understand it and make best use of it.

The Goal of the series is to help people understand and desire God’s presence and learn to practice the presence of God. Come to Cross-Way to learn, seek and serve God as he wants to be known and obey his word and live his mission.]]>tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/814667368Wed, 06 May 2020 09:01:56 +0000Dc.

Eden is a temple, a center where God meets (reveals and fellowship) with Adam and Eve (human beings). Here he makes covenant (terms of relationship) and seals with rituals that suits his Holy nature and character (which human beings don’t fully understand, but are called to follow and obey). Sinai (see first sermon on Exo 24) is a temple, Israel turns to God, God speaks and instructs the people he chose for his presence (Exo 19:5,6). In this way, the temple theme continues through out OT. In the NT, Jesus comes as the new temple. Paul and Apostles speak of the temple with regards to (continuity and discontinuity of OT themes). We look forward to the Eschatalogical Temple, when God will dwell with his people.
These themes have deeper significance with our lives, with regards to our religious and spiritual lives, as we live in secular age. People claim, “I want spirituality but I don’t want to be religious.” In Eugene Peterson’s words, “we have insatiable hunger for God, but do not want church.”

The purpose of the series is to bring deeper hunger to surface and acknowledge and own our desire for God and know-how to turn and live before him. A study through scripture will make us aware of God’s purpose in giving Temples (and rituals around it) to people to make his presence immanent, yet in reverence and adorations. A secondary purpose is to know why this great big expensive church building in Kathmandu, we’ve just built. How to understand it and make best use of it.

The Goal of the series is to help people understand and desire God’s presence and learn to practice the presence of God. Come to Cross-Way to learn, seek and serve God as he wants to be known and obey his word and live his mission.]]>1819falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/mandira-paramesvarako-upasthitiko-kendra-1-pa-arabina-pokharela--24699269dlGb/, k/d]Zj/sf] pk:yLltsf] s]Gb|

The series “Gospel by means of Hospitality” is about the shift in our approach to sharing the gospel. This came out of our outreach of January, where we have continued training our churches in “Living the Gospel Out-Loud,” which is also called “missional living.” All the thoughts and ideas written about it, we’re trying to contextualize the gospel-living in Nepal. As pastors/teachers we want to educate, train and eventually help the church in the way of life (building culture) of living the gospel. Gospel is communicated (understood) reaches the hearts of people by way (means) of hospitality. There are lots of stories among us, as to how we came to hear/know/believe the gospel.

Hospitality was Jesus’ means to living the gospel. In Luke 4, Jesus declares at outset of his public ministry, his mission as “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me to preach the good news to the poor… set the captives free, make the blind see, … to declare the year of the Lord’s favor.” When the Spirit of the Lord comes, (church finds breath and life) and becomes alive, it lives out the mission of Jesus, which is more than preaching.

Here’s an excerpt from the “Living the Gospel out-loud” curriculum (please consult the handbook, which is saturated with the ideas of Gospel by means of Hospitality). In fact, you can choose one topic from the curriculum to preach on.

The Goal of the series is to help the church understand, and begin the shift from simply preaching the gospel (as means of evangelism) to living the gospel, and in this way sharing and inviting people to believe in Jesus and to the church. Church is a community centered on Christ. Which means we embody the principles of Jesus, life of Jesus and live it out like Jesus, who’s life was filled with service/hospitality to people that caused them to flourish, while not receiving anything in return, but giving the abundant life to other.]]>tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/763141648Wed, 12 Feb 2020 10:23:00 +0000Dc.

The series “Gospel by means of Hospitality” is about the shift in our approach to sharing the gospel. This came out of our outreach of January, where we have continued training our churches in “Living the Gospel Out-Loud,” which is also called “missional living.” All the thoughts and ideas written about it, we’re trying to contextualize the gospel-living in Nepal. As pastors/teachers we want to educate, train and eventually help the church in the way of life (building culture) of living the gospel. Gospel is communicated (understood) reaches the hearts of people by way (means) of hospitality. There are lots of stories among us, as to how we came to hear/know/believe the gospel.

Hospitality was Jesus’ means to living the gospel. In Luke 4, Jesus declares at outset of his public ministry, his mission as “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me to preach the good news to the poor… set the captives free, make the blind see, … to declare the year of the Lord’s favor.” When the Spirit of the Lord comes, (church finds breath and life) and becomes alive, it lives out the mission of Jesus, which is more than preaching.

This is the season of hope in the midst of darkness. As the people of God in the Old Testament waited expectantly for the promised King – The Messiah, the promised fulfilled in the first advent of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today, we the people of God today wait expectantly for the second advent as promised in the Scriptures.

The season of advent prepares us not only for the celebration of the first advent (Christmas) but also motivates us to be hopeful and live in a joyful expectation of the return of our Lord Jesus Christ (The Second Coming of Christ)—a personal, physical visible, sudden, glorious and triumphant return.

The need: “We are too spiritually blind to find our own way- our wealth has made us greedy, self-indulging and self-seeking”. “Christmas is a wonderful, secular holiday,” wrote one enthusiast at the popular Web site Gawker.”—says Timothy Keller in his book “Hidden Christmas.” “born to give them second birth’?”- does this statement makes any sense to this generation? The world around us in dark and hostile to the light of the Gospel in many ways. Jesus is the light and we as the disciples of Jesus are the bearers of that light (gospel), the light that shines in the darkness- a light that gives hope to the perishing – a light that gives us ourselves everlasting hope. We live as people of “hope” and “joy” and we share this “hope” and “joy” to this passing generation.

Purpose of the series is to remind ourselves of the fulfilled promises of our Lord in the first advent and motivate us to live a life as the people of “hope” and “joy” keeping his promise of second advent. We shall dig into the real meaning of the first advent and prepare our hearts for the second. Rejoicing in the finished work of Jesus Christ in his birth, life, death and resurrection we commit to live waiting/anticipating, and preparing ourselves joyfully for his second advent.

Goal: Everyone will know the meaning and importance of the promises of God in Jesus Christ, and be grounded in hope- and start a joyful preparation anticipating the second advent of our Lord Jesus Christ.]]>tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/751897795Thu, 30 Jan 2020 03:44:03 +0000Dc.

Purpose of the series is to remind ourselves of the fulfilled promises of our Lord in the first advent and motivate us to live a life as the people of “hope” and “joy” keeping his promise of second advent. We shall dig into the real meaning of the first advent and prepare our hearts for the second. Rejoicing in the finished work of Jesus Christ in his birth, life, death and resurrection we commit to live waiting/anticipating, and preparing ourselves joyfully for his second advent.

Goal: Everyone will know the meaning and importance of the promises of God in Jesus Christ, and be grounded in hope- and start a joyful preparation anticipating the second advent of our Lord Jesus Christ.]]>1803falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/dhan-yavadako-cada-pa-arabina-pokharela--20592074“Bring the best of the first-fruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God.

We need a rooted life. It’s about commitments we hold deeper than our actions and products. It’s a series in discipleship as model of ministry of xWay (and NRC) churches.

The need (Fallen Condition) is the culture and society sold on consumerism. We have become individuals in pursuit of our personal happiness and goals. Life’s driven by desires unless we put rein (bridle) on it, it’ll run its course and consume us.

“Mission trumps everything” “But a clear through-out conviction that comes from within one’s values is consistent with one’s beliefs is like a healthy spine and strong core muscles. They enable us to stand without wavering, to keep our balance, to stay grounded without having to be overly defensive or attacking” We are like a well-rooted sequoia that can withstand fires and storms. Others may get blown away or consumed, but convictions help us stand.” (Bolsinger, Canoeing the Mountain. 133).



“Rooted”

Purpose of the series is to learn where and how life grows and fruit it produces. Ask your self, where am I rooted, and what’s causing the fruit I’m bearing, because tree doesn’t lie, our lives don’t like when we see fruit. We can live today showing what we want people see about us, cover-up makeup dress up, show up, …


Goal: Everyone thinks seriously about their own roots, where it is and how deep are they.
