    Eng Hn Mal

    6. Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?

    7. Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover them, and not to hide yourself from your own kin?

    8. Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly; your vindicator shall go before you, the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.

    9. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am. If you remove the yoke from among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil,

    10. if you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday.

    8. He entered the synagogue and for three months spoke out boldly, and argued persuasively about the kingdom of God.

    9. When some stubbornly refused to believe and spoke evil of the Way before the congregation, he left them, taking the disciples with him, and argued daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.

    10. This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the word of the Lord. The Sons of Sceva

    11. God did extraordinary miracles through Paul,

    12. so that when the handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were brought to the sick, their diseases left them, and the evil spirits came out of them.

    16. We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another.

    17. How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?

    18. Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.

    19. And by this we will know that we are from the truth and will reassure our hearts before him

    20. whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

    21. Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have boldness before God;

    22. and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we obey his commandments and do what pleases him.

    23. And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.

    24. All who obey his commandments abide in him, and he abides in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit that he has given us.

    13. Jesus went out again beside the sea; the whole crowd gathered around him, and he taught them.

    14. As he was walking along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him.

    15. And as he sat at dinner in Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were also sitting with Jesus and his disciples—for there were many who followed him.

    16. When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

    17. When Jesus heard this, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.” The Question about Fasting

Welcome

Immanuel Mar Thoma Church of Houston, Texas was formed on September 01, 1994, marking another milestone in the journey of the Mar Thoma Church in North America. The grace of God, the vision and dedication of a few lay leaders of the parish and the timely guidance of our then Diocesan Bishops Rt. Rev. Dr. Philipose Mar Chrysostom Suffragan Metropolitan and Rt. Rev. Dr. Zacharias Mar Theophilus Episcopa, and clergies Rev. Eapen Cherian, Rev. T.I. Joseph, and Rev. Raju George paved the way for the formation of a second Mar Thoma Church in Houston. Initially the parish consisted of 140 families, nearly all of whom were members of the Trinity Mar Thoma Church of Houston..

Our Leaders

 

Jubilee Project

The city of Stafford has approved and stamped the drawings that are needed for the construction. The building committee has shortlisted one construction company and is in the process of finalizing the steps necessary to sign a contract with them. Efforts are underway to collect the needed funds for the construction of our Jubilee project by taking personal loans from our members at 4.50% interest rate. Members will be paid interest at the end of each year, though they have the option to return the interest amount paid to them back to the church. The minimum loan amount was set at 10,000 dollars. Please consider this request prayerfully.
