"God's Chosen Servant" from Matthew 12:15-37

Though you have money but no God then what is the purpose of your life?

In this chapter Jesus focus on not following tradition. Sin begins in the mind from it comes the actions. God is interested in our heart and attitude.

We are saved individually and not by group. You are not saved by what religious group you are in.
For the believer there is no neutral either you're with God or against it.

Though we are doomed to hell God left his throne to become human (Jesus Christ) to die for our sins and save us. All we have to do is to accept the fact we are not perfect and have sinned against God.



John 16:7-8 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:

James 5:16 (NIV)
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.


Feed your Holy Spirit so it will become strong.

Pastor's Message
2 Chronicles 19:9 He gave them these orders: “You must serve faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the LORD.

For me this is one of toughest statement in the word of God. In this chapter during our Midweek Bible study, our theme was: "Serve Faithfully". It means to be fully committed and dedicated so we must have an undivided heart. And to act only out of fear of God not men because to fear/respect God = this is one of the keys to be able to serve Him faithfully.



Nice Christian Life Experiences~~~

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!’”
