Pastor’s Message

Psalm 119:24 Your statutes are my delight;
they are my counselors.

“In reality, most of the people today are not interested in the Word of God. Tragically, some of those who professed Christians has no pleasure in God’s word but they turn to the idea, concept and wisdom of this world instead of turning to the ANSWERS to our QUESTIONS.
As for us, we need to be eager and delighted in seeking God’s Word. Be mindful of what Jesus said: the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”

Happy Birthday

Pastor’s Message

Psalm 115:5-8
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see.
6 They have ears, but cannot hear,
noses, but cannot smell.
7 They have hands, but cannot feel,
feet, but cannot walk,
nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
8 Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.

The Psalmist is denouncing the idols (carve images) and give a warning to the makers of the idols. We know that idol is futile/useless and without any senses. In other words you cannot expect an idol to listen or to answer. Now, in contrast to our God – the God who hears and answers to each one of us who call on to His name. God is SPIRIT, and His worshipers MUST worship in spirit and in truth.

Happy Birthday

Pastor’s Message

Jonah 4:1-3 But Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry. He prayed to the LORD, “O LORD, is this not what I said when I was still at home? That is why I was so quick to flee to Tarshish. I knew that you are gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. Now O Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live. But O Lord take away my life, for it is better for me to dies than to live.” But the LORD replied, “Have you any right to be angry?”

At this moment Jonah finally obeyed God to go to the city of Ninevah and proclaim the message to them. As a result people of Nineveh repented from their sins. However, Jonah was not pleased and so upset because he saw those people (worse sinners) turning from their wicked ways, despite of the fact that he was the one who preached the Word of God to them.

For us, we should rejoice when someone resented and receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Because remember, we too are sinners saved by His GRACE.

Happy Birthday
