Pastor’s Message

2 Chronicles 26:16 But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God, and entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.

Uzziah start as humble and excellent, in other words he is God-dependent. God provided for all his needs. God blessed Him so much. But he became prideful, and it’s rooted from being so self-confident and lack of thankfulness.
Thus, as believers, we should always remember that what we have all comes from the source of all – our God. We need to humbly say “thank you” and not be in so much pride. Because, PRIDE will not lift us up but pull us down. [Read more…]

Pastor’s Message

Proverbs 27:2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not your own lips.

Nowadays, boasting is very rampant and out of control. People think highly of themselves, they love to talk about themselves and like to hear when somebody noticed their accomplishments or positions in life. Today, we live in the “ME” generation! But for us believers, Jesus taught us to let our light shine before men, that they may see our good deeds and praise our Father in heaven. So let’s set aside the “ME” mentality and amend it onto “HE” mentality.

Psalm 22:9-18 NIV

9 Yet you brought me out of the womb;
you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast.
10 From birth I was cast on you;
from my mother’s womb you have been my God.

11 Do not be far from me,
for trouble is near
and there is no one to help.

12 Many bulls surround me;
strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
13 Roaring lions that tear their prey
open their mouths wide against me.
14 I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax;
it has melted within me.
15 My mouth[a] is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
you lay me in the dust of death.

16 Dogs surround me,
a pack of villains encircles me;
they pierce[b] my hands and my feet.
17 All my bones are on display;
people stare and gloat over me.
18 They divide my clothes among them
and cast lots for my garment.

Pastor’s Message

Proverbs 22:24-25 Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn his ways and get yourself ensnared.

Good friends and companions are helpful in our growth as believers, whether you’re a parent, single, a worker, or a student. By the way, who are your friends? Are they dragging and pulling you down to commit sins or helping you with your walk in the Lord? So, be prudent with your decisions to make friends. Because it’s important to be wise in choosing friends.

Psalm 22:1-8 NIV

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me,
so far from my cries of anguish?
2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,
by night, but I find no rest.[b]

3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;
you are the one Israel praises.[c]
4 In you our ancestors put their trust;
they trusted and you delivered them.
5 To you they cried out and were saved;
in you they trusted and were not put to shame.

6 But I am a worm and not a man,
scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
7 All who see me mock me;
they hurl insults, shaking their heads.
8 “He trusts in the LORD,” they say,
“let the LORD rescue him.
Let him deliver him,
since he delights in him.”

Happy Birthday
