The Servant Stem Bible Study Articles

While we usually spend our Christmas’s talking about the birth of our Savior Lord Jesus Christ and how angel Gabriel, Mother Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds and the Wise Men were involved in his birth, let’s take this opportunity to discuss about something which is rarely read and seldom preached. We are going to discuss about Names and Genealogies. Whether we know or not, we all have a family genealogy whom we came from. Most of our family genealogies are explained to us by our parents and grandparents. Where we came from? What’s our native place? Who is our grandparents and great grandparents? What kind of people were they? How did they live? What were the great things they did? And we also have few old pictures of them which tells us a lot about our family at that time. If I try to explain my family genealogy to you, you would not be interested and you would be bored. It would be the same, if you try to explain me your family genealogy. But for those who are in the family genealog...

And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. - Revelations 22:5 There are four books in the Bible which talk about the life of Jesus Christ. We call those books as The Gospels. Out of which Matthew, Mark and Luke together are known as Synoptic Gospels, because they include many of the same incidents, often in a similar sequence and in similar wording; and two gospels written by Matthew and Luke narrate us the birth and genealogy of Jesus Christ. We need to understand that Christmas is not the birth of God. It’s not the starting point of his existence, but Christmas is the day when God took the form of a man. Hence I guess John started his gospel with the genealogy and the birth of Jesus on a different note. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Matthew starts with, Jesus being a des...

And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. – Mark 13:37 What we are going to talk now, is not a story or a mystical theology which was created by men, but, it’s a historical incident which really happened. The facts Im talking about are based on this book, The Holy Bible. I believe that this book is the word of God and was inspired by the Holy Spirit speaking about my future with my Creator in his Promised Kingdom. There was this Perfect Kingdom created by God. It all begins when God created the heavens and the earth. And when he saw that the earth was formless and filled with darkness, he created light. After which he created the sky and separated the seas/oceans from the dryland. Then he said let the earth/dryland bring forth plants, trees and vegetation. Then God created the light-bearers the sun, moon and the stars and placed them in the sky as they would provide light on the earth. He created living beings within the sea and oceans, created winged birds of the sky an...

Food for thought. How important is Christmas for mankind? What if Christmas did not happen to us? Let us start this season with these basic questions. For me Christmas is a sequential series of events which took place 2000 years ago on one cold winter. It all started when angel Gabriel visited Mary who was betrothed to Joseph, telling her that she would be conceived in her womb with the help of the Holy Spirit and would give birth to a Son. Joseph who was unaware of the reason behind Mary’s conception, wanted to divorce her quietly. One night, Gabriel appears to Joseph in a dream and tells him not to leave Mary for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Joseph woke up and did as Gabriel commanded. He took Mary as his wife, but kept her as a virgin until she had given birth to a Son. While Mary was still carrying the child in her womb and when the days were near, Joseph had to go to Bethlehem his hometown to register for the census. He had to register M...
