Pastor’s Message

Exodus 14:31 And when the Israelites saw the great power the LORD displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD and put their trust in him in Moses his servant.

God delivered the Israelites from the slavery of Egypt, Jehovah proved His awesome power to them by dividing the Red Sea, they went across the sea but the enemies were devastated. So when they witnessed the great power of Jehovah they feared Him and put their trust in Him…
As for us believing and fearing God is not just seeing His powerful deeds but it is also READING OF HIS LIVING WORD! Surely it helps you increased your faith, admiration and reverence in Him.

Psalm Reading

Psalm 66:1-12
1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth!
2 Sing the glory of his name;
make his praise glorious.
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power
that your enemies cringe before you.
4 All the earth bows down to you;
they sing praise to you,
they sing the praises of your name.”[a]
5 Come and see what God has done,
his awesome deeds for mankind!
6 He turned the sea into dry land,
they passed through the waters on foot—
come, let us rejoice in him.
7 He rules forever by his power,
his eyes watch the nations—
let not the rebellious rise up against him.
8 Praise our God, all peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard;
9 he has preserved our lives
and kept our feet from slipping.
10 For you, God, tested us;
you refined us like silver.
11 You brought us into prison
and laid burdens on our backs.
12 You let people ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us to a place of abundance.

Pastor’s Message

Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

Paul talks about those people who simply talks about God but didn’t receive the knowledge of the Saving Grace. These people were deceivers, taught false doctrines, and their minds and consciences are crooked.
I believe people in the Church of Christ should reflect and consider it too. That we should not only say our knowledge about God but also to live it out w/ sincerity because knowledge of the truth about God leads to godliness.

Psalm Reading

Psalm 62
1 Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him.
2 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
3 How long will you assault me?
Would all of you throw me down—
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
4 Surely they intend to topple me
from my lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse.[b]
5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor depend on God[c];
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
9 Surely the lowborn are but a breath,
the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
together they are only a breath.
10 Do not trust in extortion
or put vain hope in stolen goods;
though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them.
11 One thing God has spoken,
two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,
12 and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;
and, “You reward everyone
according to what they have done.”

Pastor’s Message

1 Timothy 4:15-16 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. 16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.

Paul mentioned in the previous verses about the things we need to be diligent with and I will quote some of it :v5 By the Word of God & Prayer, v7 Train himself to be godly, v10 To put his hope in the Living God, v12 Set as an example, v13 Devote himself to the Scriptures and more.
With these basic things, we need to be: 1. Diligent 2. fully Dedicated 3. Watch our character 4. patient and endure.
And the promise if we do all these = Our life will be preserve & the lives of others as well. So, as you work hard physically be sure that you are also working hard (diligent) for the things that brings glory to God.

Psalm Reading

Psalm 59:9-17
9 You are my strength, I watch for you;
you, God, are my fortress,
10 my God on whom I can rely.
God will go before me
and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield,[a]
or my people will forget.
In your might uproot them
and bring them down.
12 For the sins of their mouths,
for the words of their lips,
let them be caught in their pride.
For the curses and lies they utter,
13 consume them in your wrath,
consume them till they are no more.
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
that God rules over Jacob.
14 They return at evening,
snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
15 They wander about for food
and howl if not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.
17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
you, God, are my fortress,
my God on whom I can rely.

Happy Birthday
