Pastor’s Message

Genesis 22:8 Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.

At this time God tested Abraham, if he really trusted God by way of sacrificing his only son Isaac.
Personally, the other night I was so worried and couldn’t really some sleep because I was thinking of the funds for the church building. During the morning when I prayed and asked the Lord to speak to me in my time of need. I wanted to be comforted and reminded of His word. Indeed, God is so faithful He gave me this verse to build-up my spirit and encourage me to cast everything unto Him for He’s faithful God. He is our Jehovah Jireh!

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

Romans 8:31b If God is for us, who can be against us?

Paul the apostle mentioned here that we are more than conquerors because Christ’s love is for us. This statement was indeed reliable and trustworthy because He promised us that He will never ever leave us nor forsake us. So we must hold on to this promise and know without a doubt that He is meant for us.

Psalm Reading
Psalm 18:25-36 (New International Version)

25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
26 to the pure you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.
27 You save the humble
but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
28 You, LORD, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.
29 With your help I can advance against a troop[a];
with my God I can scale a wall.

30 As for God, his way is perfect:
The LORD’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.
31 For who is God besides the LORD?
And who is the Rock except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength
and keeps my way secure.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
he causes me to stand on the heights.
34 He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You make your saving help my shield,
and your right hand sustains me;
your help has made me great.
36 You provide a broad path for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.
