Agape Ministries

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. 

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

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.  

Hello and welcome to this episode of Agape Fellowship where we read the word of God verse by verse.

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.

Hello everybody! Agape Fellowship welcomes you to another episode from Matthew's Gospel. We study the word of God verse by verse and we have been learning from the Beatitudes of Jesus.

Let's continue with verse 7 as we conclude the beatitudes in this episode.

Hello and welcome to this episode of Bible study with Agape Fellowship. We study God's word verse by verse and currently we are in Matthew chapter 5 learning from the Beatitudes.

Hello and welcome to another episode of reading and studying God's word from Agape fellowship. Today we are going to start learning one of the most exciting passages of the Bible. The sermon on the mount was one of Jesus' most famous teaching. The crowds came up a mountain to listen to Him. Let us listen to what Jesus has to say, as we read from Matthew Chapter 5.

Hello and a very warm welcome to Agape Fellowship. Here we learn the word of God verse by verse. Open your Bibles to Matthew chapter 4 where we are studying the temptation of Jesus. In the previous episode we saw how Satan sets a trap quoting from scriptures, and how Jesus perceived the intentions and responds accordingly. Let's continue with the next and final temptation as we continue from verse 8. Pray that you will be blessed.

Hello and welcome to Agape Fellowship where we study the word of God verse by verse. In the previous episode, we studied the first temptation of Jesus Christ in the wilderness as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. We learnt about God's providence throughout our lives that come through trust and obedience. Let's continue with the next temptation beginning from verse 5. We pray that God will speak to you through this study.

Hello and welcome to Agape Fellowship. Here we read the word of God verse by verse. We are going through the Gospel of Matthew. We started with the birth of Jesus, the unveiling of the forerunner John the Baptist and are now seeing Jesus gear up for His earthly ministry. In the last episode we saw why Jesus had to go through a testing phase. Join us as we continue with chapter 4, reading about Jesus's response when tested.  

Hello everybody. Welcome to another episode of Bible study from Agape Fellowship where we read and study the word of God verse by verse. In this episode, we will start with chapter 4 where in Jesus was led into the wilderness to be tested. God tests every one of us like a refiner, but it's a wonder why the son of God had to go through the same process as us. Let's dig into the scripture to find out what God's plan in this is. We pray that the answer will be a blessing to know. 

Greetings to you all in the name of Jesus. Welcome to Agape Fellowship where we study God’s word verse by verse. It gives us great joy to be a part of God's great big family and to read and learn from His word together. We are going to study the Gospel of Matthew. Gospel, as we all know, means Good news. This book is God reconnecting with man after about 400 years of silence after the time of Malachi. Matthew is the first book of the New Testament and one of the 4 gospels written. Matthew was a tax collector and renounced his worldly ways to follow Jesus. He was an educated Jew and this book is written for the Jews who were aware of the Old Testament prophecies. Let us stay tuned to learn more of what this book has to say about the life and times of the people who waited for the Messiah.

Welcome to the Agape Fellowship where we undertake verse by verse study of the scriptures. In today’s episode, we begin our study from Habakkuk chapter 3 and verse 17 to the close of the book. The prophet Habakkuk at the end of his book teaches us that we are able to praise God regardless of fearful and hopeless circumstances because of the assurance we have in an Almighty GOD. We pray that you will be blessed as we learn together from His Word.

We welcome you once again to the Agape Fellowship, where we study the Bible verse by verse. In today’s episode we continue on from Habakkuk chapter 3 and verse 3. Today we will learn from Habakkuk how we are able to maintain our faith in God even when we know that difficult times are ahead of us. Be blessed as we learn from His Word.

Once again, it is an awesome privilege to invite you to the Agape Fellowship, where we undertake a verse by verse study of the scriptures. Today we will start to cover the 3rd and final chapter of the book of Habakkuk. When we began our journey through the book, we saw the prophet’s questions to God concerning what was happening around him. Questions like: Why do the righteous suffer and why does God appear to be silent. However, when God responded saying judgement is coming, it was not in line with what Habakkuk had hoped and yet God teaches him that through such trying times that righteous shall live by faith. As we continue on in our study today, we will draw on the eternal principles of God who in His sovereignty ultimately accomplishes that which is good, just as He is good. Today we will learn that the judgements of God are in keeping with His mercies. Be blessed as you learn from His Word!

Welcome to the Agape fellowship, where we undertake a verse by verse study of the scriptures. We are so glad that you could join us. We have been learning from the book of Habakkuk and in our last installment we see God teaching Habakkuk that the righteous shall live by faith. The Bible in Hebrews 11, the famous chapter on faith, in verse 1 tells us what faith is. It reads: Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. The same chapter again in verse 6 reads: Without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. Today we continue on from Habakkuk chapter 2 and we will also look more into what it means when God says: The just shall live by faith. May God bless you richly as you study His Word with us.

A warm welcome to the Agape fellowship, where we undertake a verse by verse study of the scriptures. We are so thrilled that you could join us. Last time, we covered the first 3 verses of Habakkuk chapter 2, we learned that God’s Word once spoken is an absolute Word and that His timetable is not like man’s. Furthermore, Habakkuk modeled for us the proper way in which to wait for what God says. Today we hear what God responds to Habakkuk’s deep anguish at God’s revelation of the coming judgment on the Kingdom of Judah. We pray God’s blessing upon you as you study His Word with us.

Last time, as we studied from the first chapter of Habakkuk, we saw a dialogue between prophet Habakkuk and God. We considered the two questions that Habakkuk posed to God and we were able to see from God’s response to Habakkuk’s first question that He is absolutely sovereign and He umpires the affairs of men and nations. Today we continue on from Habakkuk chapter 2 and we join Habakkuk as he waits for the Lord’s response to his second question. Be blessed as you hear today's meditation.

Previously, we were faced with prophet Habakkuk’s bewilderment when God tells him that He was bringing the violent Babylonians to judge the sinful kingdom of Judah. We were left dealing with the question whether a Holy God could use an evil nation as an instrument of His justice. Today we will begin our journey with this question and as we conclude chapter 1, we will have a chance to see what this means for us personally. Be blessed as you listen to today’s meditation.

The Psalmist in Psalm 119:11 writes Thy word I have treasured in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee. Why do we study God’s Word? This verse tells us that it is so that we might avoid sin. Things start going downhill into disarray and chaos when we wander away from the words of God, or, in other words, sin. This brings into perspective what was happening in the Kingdom of Judah. Last time, we started on a journey with the prophet Habakkuk who, on seeing injustice, violence, and destruction all around him in Judah, asking God with desperate groaning why it was so and why God was not doing something about it. Today, we get to see how God responds to the prophet from Habakkuk chapter 1 and verse 5. Once again a warm welcome to the AGAPE Fellowship. Here we study the Bible verse by verse. Be blessed as you hear today’s meditation.

The scriptures in Isaiah 66 vs 1 and 2 reads: Thus says the Lord: “Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool: what is the house that you would build for me and what is the place of my rest? All these things my hand has made and so all these things came to be, declares the Lord. But this is to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word. How precious a privilege it is for us to study God’s word and let us, like Mary who sat at Jesus’ feet, pay close heed to what the Lord is teaching us from His Word. We welcome you to the Agape Fellowship where we study the Bible verse by verse. In this episode we are starting to look at the book of Habakkuk. Even though Habakkuk is considered as a minor prophet, he has a lot to say to us, to teach us. It was Habakkuk who first penned down the words: The Just shall live by faith! Thank you for joining us as we delve into deep into the study and it is our prayer that you will be blessed!
