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

Exodus 15:13 In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed.

In context, this chapter was the song of Moses and Miriam acknowledging God’s miraculous power upon them and many more.
It’s really the Love of God that enabled us to have guidance and lead us in our everyday lives. God never fails in keeping us, preserving us and sustaining us in every moment of our lives. He redeemed us and His unbounded Grace and Love is faithful forever.

Psalm Reading

Psalm 66:13-20
New International Version (NIV)
13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings
and fulfill my vows to you—
14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you
and an offering of rams;
I will offer bulls and goats.
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God;
let me tell you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened;
19 but God has surely listened
and has heard my prayer.
20 Praise be to God,
who has not rejected my prayer
or withheld his love from me!

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.
