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: Senior Citizen Sunday - Productive Living: The Best is Yet to Come - Seventeenth Sunday after the Feast of Pentecost

  •   

    6. Then the people of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal; and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God in Kadesh-barnea concerning you and me.

    7. I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him an honest report.

    8. But my companions who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; yet I wholeheartedly followed the Lord my God.

    9. And Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land on which your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance for you and your children forever, because you have wholeheartedly followed the Lord my God.’

    10. And now, as you see, the Lord has kept me alive, as he said, these forty-five years since the time that the Lord spoke this word to Moses, while Israel was journeying through the wilderness; and here I am today, eighty-five years old.

    11. I am still as strong today as I was on the day that Moses sent me; my strength now is as my strength was then, for war, and for going and coming.

    12. So now give me this hill country of which the Lord spoke on that day; for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as the Lord said.”

    13. Then Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.

    14. So Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholeheartedly followed the Lord, the God of Israel.

    15. Now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath-arba; this Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.

    12. Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.

    13. Beloved, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,

    14. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.

    15. Let those of us then who are mature be of the same mind; and if you think differently about anything, this too God will reveal to you.

    16. Only let us hold fast to what we have attained.

  •   

    10. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power.

    11. Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

    12. For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

    13. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

    14. Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness.

    15. As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace.

    16. With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

    17. Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

  •   

    18. Very truly, I tell you, when you were younger, you used to fasten your own belt and to go wherever you wished. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten a belt around you and take you where you do not wish to go.”

    19. (He said this to indicate the kind of death by which he would glorify God.) After this he said to him, “Follow me.” Jesus and the Beloved Disciple

    20. Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; he was the one who had reclined next to Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?”

    21. When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?”

    22. Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? Follow me!”

    23. So the rumor spread in the community that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?”
