Pastor’s Message

2 Thessalonians 2:16
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope,

It’s been said that “Encouragement cost you nothing to give, but it is priceless to receive”

This statement is (without a doubt) true and reliable. For all of us need encouragement not only on a dialy basis but moment by moment. Thus, we should continually let God pour out His unlimited grace and give us ETERNAL ENCOURAGEMENT. Praise God for His WORD that encourage us and give us hope!

Pastor’s Message

2 Chronicles 30:7-8 Do not be like your parents and your fellow Israelites, who were unfaithful to the LORD, the God of their ancestors, so that he made them an object of horror, as you see. Do not be stiff-necked, as your ancestors were; submit to the LORD. Come to his sanctuary, which he has consecrated forever. Serve the LORD your God, so that his fierce anger will turn away from you.

Every Wednesday we are studying in the Old Testament. Last midweek we had our theme “Return To The Lord”. Here are the highlights that we needed to do:

  1. Do not be unfaithful (trespass) or turn from your evil ways and your evil practices.
  2. Don’t be stiff-necked/stubborn (have a heart of flesh).
  3. Submit to the Lord.
  4. Come to the sanctuary (attend church service)
  5. Serve the Lord your God with gladness.

Pastor’s Message

Proverbs 27:2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not your own lips.

Nowadays, boasting is very rampant and out of control. People think highly of themselves, they love to talk about themselves and like to hear when somebody noticed their accomplishments or positions in life. Today, we live in the “ME” generation! But for us believers, Jesus taught us to let our light shine before men, that they may see our good deeds and praise our Father in heaven. So let’s set aside the “ME” mentality and amend it onto “HE” mentality.

Psalm 22:9-18 NIV

9 Yet you brought me out of the womb;
you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast.
10 From birth I was cast on you;
from my mother’s womb you have been my God.

11 Do not be far from me,
for trouble is near
and there is no one to help.

12 Many bulls surround me;
strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
13 Roaring lions that tear their prey
open their mouths wide against me.
14 I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax;
it has melted within me.
15 My mouth[a] is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
you lay me in the dust of death.

16 Dogs surround me,
a pack of villains encircles me;
they pierce[b] my hands and my feet.
17 All my bones are on display;
people stare and gloat over me.
18 They divide my clothes among them
and cast lots for my garment.
