Pastor’s Message

Exodus 21:5-6 But if the servant declares, I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free. 6Then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the door post and pierce his ear w/ an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.

This is about a Hebrew “bond servant” who wanted to served his master for life.
Being a servant of Christ it is not about the number of years we have served our MASTER (the Lord Jesus Christ) that really matters. If you love Him, you will surely continue on serving Him as long as you live and continue to be a “bond servant” for life.
Keep on Loving the Lord Jesus faithfully!

Psalm Reading

Psalm 67 (NIV)
1 May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face shine on us—[b]
2 so that your ways may be known on earth,
your salvation among all nations.
3 May the peoples praise you, God;
may all the peoples praise you.
4 May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you rule the peoples with equity
and guide the nations of the earth.
5 May the peoples praise you, God;
may all the peoples praise you.
6 The land yields its harvest;
God, our God, blesses us.
7 May God bless us still,
so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.

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

Pastor’s Message

Revelation 7:16a&17c Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. 17c And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Isn’t that amazing to know in advance what it will be like in heaven? For the mean time, in this fallen world, some of us are experiencing food shortage, starvation, thirst and lack of provision. And we were crying before God because we are in need. In contrast, in the heavenly realm, we will no longer experience hunger, thirst and any other problems. So, Let us look forward to what we are going to experience in heaven. May God continue to help us to set our minds on things above.
