Pastor’s Message

Job 2:10b Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?

The context of this chapter talks about Job’s terrible trials in life and this verse was Job’s response to his wife because of her foolishness – urging Job to curse God and kill himself.
Now reflect on this beloved, within one year the Lord gave us most of the time good health than sickness, He gave us more provision than poverty, more love and grace than painful trials and problems. So, we need to have this kind of attitude like Job, he never lose hope, he persevere (enduring w/ patience) under trials and continue to declare: “Blessed be the name of the Lord.”

Psalm Reading

Psalm 57
New International Version (NIV)
1 Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
for in you I take refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed.
2 I cry out to God Most High,
to God, who vindicates me.
3 He sends from heaven and saves me,
rebuking those who hotly pursue me—[c]
God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.
4 I am in the midst of lions;
I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.
6 They spread a net for my feet —
I was bowed down in distress.
They dug a pit in my path—
but they have fallen into it themselves.
7 My heart, O God, is steadfast,
my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and make music.
8 Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.
10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.

Pastor’s Message

Psalm 136:23 To the One who remembered us in our low estate.

Do you feel like you’re abandoned? Are you discouraged? Do you have a lot of disappointments and heartbreaks? Beloved! Don’t forget that the Lord understands what you are experiencing right now. He’s thinking about you, He’s willing to help you. So come to Him all you who are weary and has burden and He will give you rest (rest for your mind, heart and soul).

Psalm Reading

Psalm 56
New International Version (NIV)
1 Be merciful to me, my God,
for my enemies are in hot pursuit;
all day long they press their attack.
2 My adversaries pursue me all day long;
in their pride many are attacking me.
3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?
5 All day long they twist my words;
all their schemes are for my ruin.
6 They conspire, they lurk,
they watch my steps,
hoping to take my life.
7 Because of their wickedness do not[c] let them escape;
in your anger, God, bring the nations down.
8 Record my misery;
list my tears on your scroll[d] —
are they not in your record?
9 Then my enemies will turn back
when I call for help.
By this I will know that God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise—
11 in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can man do to me?
12 I am under vows to you, my God;
I will present my thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered me from death
and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.

Happy Anniversary

Pastor’s Message

Psalm 1247:1-2 Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. 2 In vain your rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat –for He grants sleep to those he loves.

What an amazing picture of God as the Ultimate Builder and Foundation in our homes, in addition He will be our Protector and knowing that He builds our home and protects our places, in verse 2, we can now R&R – (rest & relax) because He is our Rest and in Him alone we can find True -Rest.

Psalm Reading

Psalm 55:15-23
New International Version (NIV)
15 Let death take my enemies by surprise;
let them go down alive to the realm of the dead,
for evil finds lodging among them.
16 As for me, I call to God,
and the Lord saves me.
17 Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice.
18 He rescues me unharmed
from the battle waged against me,
even though many oppose me.
19 God, who is enthroned from of old,
who does not change—
he will hear them and humble them,
because they have no fear of God.
20 My companion attacks his friends;
he violates his covenant.
21 His talk is smooth as butter,
yet war is in his heart;
his words are more soothing than oil,
yet they are drawn swords.
22 Cast your cares on the Lord
and he will sustain you;
he will never let
the righteous be shaken.
23 But you, God, will bring down the wicked
into the pit of decay;
the bloodthirsty and deceitful
will not live out half their days.
But as for me, I trust in you.

Happy Birthday
