"Endure Hardship" from Revelation 2:8

This chapter talks about persecution in our lives. Those who live a godly life will be persecuted, we must suffer persecution if we want to grow.

For us to endure hardship we must know Jesus Christ as He is eternal God the alpha and omega.

Jesus Christ gives us assurance to whatever things we are experiencing - Jesus already know it. If we look to Jesus at the cross it will remind us that our burdens are light. (Compare to our hardship today from the persecution before are extreme.)

If you try to please man then you are not a servant of God. Please God not man.

If you are a worker your peer pressure are your co-worker whenever you prioritize your work before them.

If you are a businessman your peer pressure will be your business partners, whenever they wanted you to cheat but you prioritize righteousness before them.

Some of the persecution of Christians today are calling us "hypocrite".
We are all sinners but when we correct the things we have done - we are not hypocrite by doing the right things.

In this world we will experience tribulations Jesus know everything even the people who persecute you. Leave room for Jesus to revenge for them and do not be afraid.

2 Corinthians 10

Jesus allows us to suffer gossip, slander and struggles to make us stronger.

How many times did the Bible mentioned "do not be afraid" and "do not fear"?

Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.


Pastor’s Message
1 Timothy 4:8 "For physical training is of value, but godliness has value for all things..."

Do you want to be healthy and fit? Physical exercise is a good thing, it will make your body active and healthy. But spiritual exercise is much more important. For it will make our spiritual life healthy. And we need to exercise our spirit daily by reading God’s word, praying, memorizing scriptures and fellowship. Stay halthy inside and out! God Bless.

Notes from Mark 13:14-27

Mark 13:14-27 New International Version (NIV) 14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. 20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even

Mark 13:32-37

Mark 13:32-37 New International Version (NIV) The Day and Hour Unknown 32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
