Annual Quiz at AMC. It's always a big deal for the simple reason that all age groups participate. We, as Young Adults, took up the challenge of reading and participating in the quiz. This time the bible portion was RUTH and MATTHEW.
Felicia Akka has been an inspiration from the very beginning of YAF. She managed to put together a team of five. Jenita, David, Prason, Jyotsna and Felicia Akka herself.
We managed to do well by God's grace, bagging the 3rd place, next to Sunday School and Women's Fellowship.
Is the quiz just to bag a prize? Did God talk to you through His word? Are we ready to apply it in our lives? Let's hear it out from our very participants.

Two things that struck with me- Jesus said do unto others as you would have them do to you as the most important commandment. This lays down exactly how we should treat and think before we act. Second the mention of the women in the genealogy- rahab, tamar, Ruth, bethseba and Mary. All were four simple women some had a questionable past. Shows that God truly honours those that we think are the least before us

My personal lesson was from Matthew 9: 9 - the man behind the letter. He just left his table and implicitly followed Jesus and also gave us this wonderful book that helped us to relive the life of Jesus in the last 2 weeks.
DAVID JAYAPRAKASH JOHN
1 Jesus was anointed at house of Simon the Leper. Leprosy was considered a cursed disease UNTOUCHABLE. This shows the character of JESUS that we shouldn't have any reservations whatsoever when we mingle with people.
2 our first question today. Jesus has authority to forgive sins. Satan tries to deceive us by bringing guilt, hindering our walk. A truth revealed in MATTHEW is Jesus has absolute authority over all sin once we repent.

There were several points in which the Holy spirit ministered as I prepared for the quiz. High lighting 2 key points - 1. Rahab's son was Boaz - A man of Integrity, fear of God and high standards of morality. So contrary to today's world that presumes that a child's character gets questionable based on the parents impared past. Our dear Lord chooses to blot out all transgressions of the past and bless our generation - when we take a stand for Him - like Rahab
2. In Mathew 10, the Lord tells his disciples not to take a bag, change of clothes, sandals etc...as they travel for ministry. Was wondering if I would ever have the faith to follow such an instruction from the Lord - not carry baggages but simply Trust.
It's encouraging to hear how God used this time to assure and teach His children.
