Welcome To Melbourne Mar Thoma Church

A Brief History of Mar Thoma Church Melbourne Parish

The early beginning and growth of the Mar Thoma Congregation in Melbourne may be viewed in the context of several Episcopal visits to Australia from 1970. A homegroup of the Mar Thoma people was formed after the visit of Bishop Thomas Mar Athanasious in 1980. Initially, the homegroup met once a year and then it became twice yearly on a regular basis in various homes for Bible study and fellowship. Later we moved to a church hall in Vermont and started conducting Divine Services.

Lectionary Theme: Tithe Offering Sunday Sharing God’s Gift with Joy Sixth Sunday after the Feast of Pentecost

  •   

    10. Then David blessed the Lord in the presence of all the assembly; David said: “Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our ancestor Israel, forever and ever.

    11. Yours, O Lord, are the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and on the earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.

    12. Riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might; and it is in your hand to make great and to give strength to all.

    13. And now, our God, we give thanks to you and praise your glorious name.

    14. “But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to make this freewill offering? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.

    15. For we are aliens and transients before you, as were all our ancestors; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope.

    16. O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a house for your holy name comes from your hand and is all your own.

    17. I know, my God, that you search the heart, and take pleasure in uprightness; in the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things, and now I have seen your people, who are present here, offering freely and joyously to you.

    18. O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our ancestors, keep forever such purposes and thoughts in the hearts of your people, and direct their hearts toward you.

    17. As for those who in the present age are rich, command them not to be haughty, or to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but rather on God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

    18. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share,

    19. thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life. Personal Instructions and Benediction

    20. Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the profane chatter and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge;

    21. by professing it some have missed the mark as regards the faith. Grace be with you.

    6. The point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

    7. Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

    8. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work.

    9. As it is written, “He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.”

    10. He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.

    11. You will be enriched in every way for your great generosity, which will produce thanksgiving to God through us;

    19. “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day.

    20. And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,

    21. who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man’s table; even the dogs would come and lick his sores.

    22. The poor man died and was carried away by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.

    23. In Hades, where he was being tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus by his side.

    24. He called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in agony in these flames.’

    25. But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.

    26. Besides all this, between you and us a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who might want to pass from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.’

    27. He said, ‘Then, father, I beg you to send him to my father’s house—

    28. for I have five brothers—that he may warn them, so that they will not also come into this place of torment.’

    29. Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.’

    30. He said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’

    31. He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”
