Vol. XXI/02 Grace Bible Church, C 930, Sector B Mahanagar, Lucknow, India October 2017

Dear all
As we step into October, may the Lord
Pulpit Calendar continue to bless us and take care of all our
October 2017 concerns. Three quarters of 2017 is over. What have
we achieved in the last 9 months? It would be a good
Check-in 15 minutes before service idea to make a personal list of all the matters that we
had pledged to do or not do in the beginning of 2017.
Lets analyse our course of action thus far and do a
Morning Services at 9.30 a.m. mid course correction wherever
01 Holy Communion pastor J T Raja necessary.
08 Pastor Ashish H Khan Jesus was very particular to keep reminding His
15 Pastor J T Raja disciples and the people about the correct path of
22 Pastor J T Raja spirituality. We now have the Bible to use as a mirror
29 Bijoy A M
that shows exactly who we are and what must be done
Allipur Grace Bible Church at 9.30 a.m. to keep in line with the true Christian life. Paul says in
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is God breathed and is
01 Shyam Babu useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training
08 Pastor J T Raja
in righteousness.
15 Pastor Ashish H Khan
22 Shyam Babu As we look around, we see that people are continuing
29 Holy Communion Pastor Ashish H Khan to be led astray by the false promises of this world.
People are setting their hope on strong finances,
power and position. Often, we get dismayed to find
Sunday School the wrong people in high places and leadership
Will be held during positions. In the midst of these and many more disap-
worship services pointing factors, Jesus comes as our only hope giver.
Its because of Jesus we should be able to bear the
injustices of this world.
Thursdays at 6.30 p.m. So, is this what life is all about? Keep bearing the
atrocities and casualties of life? Thankfully not. In the
05 The Phillips Home midst of these negatives, God continues to do His
19 Patty and Dans Home work of salvation. God is in the business of giving
time to the people to turn away from their wicked
ways and accept the path of the truth. God is also
Thursdays at 6.30 p.m. capable of overruling the evil plans of human beings.
Just when it seemed that our country is now doomed
12 Swetha Lalls Home for political destruction, there are fresh rays of hope.
26 Jaisy and Bijoys Home People are now being stricken by their consciences
and are protesting against the faulty governance. God
is very much in control of our nation.
WOMENS PRAYER
at the Sanctuary As Christians, let us make sure that we are on the
on Saturday, 21st at 5 p.m. right path of life. Let us continue to read and mediate
on the Bible. Let us continue to be of one heart and
mind and uphold our dear nation in prayer through
these disappointing and difficult times.
You are the only Bible some In Him,
unbelievers will ever read. Love

John MacArthur Ashish
