Pastor’s Corner
MESSAGE FROM OUR SENIOR PASTOR
"May God's peace and grace be with you! Our sovereign God demonstrated His love and justice through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, blessing us spiritually and materially. In response, we should share God's love and justice with others through every means possible, including social media. Let's follow Apostle Paul's life principle: "I do not consider my life of any value or precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God" (Acts 20:24). As disciples, let's fulfill Jesus' mandate to "go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19) by living Christ-like lives and producing Christ-like disciples.
Shalom!
Soli Deo Gloria!
