teachings to the community
Members of Calvary Mega temple church are clearly listening to the Christianity teachings
pastor Satish.It evident that Christianity is a religion of affection however that adoration does not
reach out to the set of all animals and the remainder of nature this kind of Christin love should
reach to strangers, animals and trees and nature in particular.
He shared this individual declaration to bring home the point that there is extraordinary salvation
in both Christianity and Jesus Christ. In any case, the minister advised that a Christian can be
effectively associated with different services without having genuine salvation and an individual
association with God (Kalra et al, 2013). Brother Satish, on the other hand shared that the way to

heaven have been narrowed down. He entreated, "Salvation is so extraordinary, never dare reach
a resolution that you are being spared without a Savior.
In Calvary Mega temple church pastor Satish uses various case studies from the Holy Bible. For
instance, He brought up the issue that Jesus talked about hellfire multiple times in the Bible and
just referenced paradise multiple times (Kurien, 2012).
Minister Satish shared that the Great Salvation results in the Great Foundation. On account of
Jesus' penance on the cross, the individuals who accept are presently made noble and blessed,
and the Great Foundation for devotees is the character of Christ (Kurien, 2013). On the off
chance that they want to serve God, to be compelling instruments in God's grasp to win spirits,
the extraordinary establishment is their declaration, their character, what they practice, what they
appear through our activity.
Christians are called to be isolated from the dimness, to be the light to this world, said the
evangelist, asking “What is the most ideal approach to share the Gospel?"
Reflection:Teachings regarding Incredible EXPECTATION
Minister Satish urged the group to recall that while they are customary individuals, they are to
recollect that they serve an uncommon God. He is anticipating that every single one of His
youngsters should endeavor incredible things for Him and to anticipate extraordinary things from
Him (Nash & Parkes, 2015).
Minister Satish advised the pioneers to comprehend God's enormity: that He is the King all
things considered and the Lord everything being equal.

With that, he admonished the pioneers to revive their enthusiasm to share the Gospel to
surrounding them (Reddy, 2015).
Faith community’s beliefs and distinguishing characteristics
Calvary chapel is literally an affiliation of various like-minded churches.Thus,calvary temple
varies from church to church. As a rule it believes in various key doctrines of evangelical
Protestantism and differs from various teachings deeming them unscriptural. For example the
church beliefs rejects Calvinism indicating that Jesus died for all the global sins differing from
other teachings that He died only for the elect.it also does not support Calvinist doctrine
involving irrestibel grace that show both women and men have the free will and can also ignore
the call of God anytime.
The community beliefs in baptism, bible, Holy Communion. Various gifts of Holy Spirit, trinity,
second coming of Jesus Christ, salvation of Christians and new life.
Style of worship
Worship services in tis church are not completely standardizes but usually include both praise
and worship at the start, greetings session, offering key messages and also inclusive of a time for
prayer. The style of worship includes utilization of music while at some instances use traditional
hymns with musical instruments like piano. During worship time, the worshipers mostly
maintain casual attire
Use of scared space

The scared space is used mostly for the pastor, while conducting special prayers and ordinances
such as baptism and receiving of communion. The sacred space also is involved in the session
where believers receive bread and grape wine.
Symbolism
Pastor Satish use symbolism tools like issuing out examples quoted from the world happenings
and the bible. He also offers examples through use of body language expression and can often
call several members of the church to demonstrate some. He also prays for members through
anointing oil, holding their heads or hand.
In this video and case study, pastor Satish indicates that as Christians, it’s possible that we can
go to Heaven without companions, relatives, riches, and wellbeing; yet nobody can go to Heaven
without Jesus. On the off chance that this is valid, at that point each individual must share the
Gospel before it turns out to be past the point of no return. (Adogame, A., & Shankar, 2012). The
Church needs to stand and criticize unfairness in the public arena. In the video the pastor
indicates that the Church is the response for the majority of the issues of the world.
In the church pastor Satish indicates that As a matter of fact, Christianity is continually
developing. The issue comes when Christianity winds up unbending and resolute and says: This
is reality, this is the truth, and nothing can change (George, 2012). That isn't Christianity,
genuinely.
Relection:The pastor basis his teachings on this issue with the thought that Christianity needs to
free itself from the state. I would state that its job is to serve individuals, not to maintain
establishments. In the event that you free Christianity from that, there are pearls of educating in
the convention in which you will discover biological knowledge, non-dualism, amicability, and

straightforwardness – all the beneficial things being discussed (James,2014. The pastor
encourages members of Calvary Mega temple church to always be willing to take pledge.
Neediness or poverty levels is basically is an essential rule of Christianity. Destitution does not
mean craving or wretchedness; it implies discretion, limitation, tolerating that in the event that I
have a table, two seats, a couple of garments and a little nourishment that is sufficient.
Destitution is an essential standard of Christianity. Neediness does not mean yearning or
hopelessness; it implies poise, limitation, tolerating that on the off chance that the pastor has
particularly a table, two seats, a couple of garments and a little sustenance that is sufficient.
Conversely, the pastor indicates that Christians do not need to have all the earthly properties and
investments if other colleagues are dying of hunger. That is critically neediness. That is
Christianity. They should uphold the issue of help and sharing.
The pastor uses various examples from the Bible to teach congregation of Calvary Mega temple
church regarding strong values and acts of Christianity. Some of the typical examples sued are
teachings from the teaching of Moses and Joshua.
