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.

Pastor’s Message

1 Timothy 6:5-6 and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Even before there were religious groups that taught their congregation about the Health and Wealth theology. They taught people that if they serve God they’ll become wealthy and financially stable. Yet if you really look at God’s Word –godliness doesn’t mean to be financially abundant, it is a satisfying status in life.
May God help us to be content and satisfied, May we love Him more than the pleasures of this world and to be hunger and thirst for righteousness.

Psalm Reading

Psalm 61
1 Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
2 From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
4 I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.[b]
5 For you, God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
6 Increase the days of the king’s life,
his years for many generations.
7 May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever;
appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
8 Then I will ever sing in praise of your name
and fulfill my vows day after day.

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
