Serving with the Heart of Christ

In the midst of exhausting daily routines, God calls us to serve everyone with love. It begins by learning to empathize and not being quick to judge.

True empathy is not only understanding and feeling what others are going through, but also allowing that understanding to move us to act with love.

True humility is seen in a willingness to serve, not in one's position or status.

The greater a person's blessings and spiritual maturity, the more humble they become and the more they honor others.

Jesus showed hospitality to everyone regardless of their background or status, and we are called to serve and welcome others with sincere love.

Luke 19:10
"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." (NIV)

The warmth of our togetherness from last Saturday is still fresh in our hearts. We sang, danced, and laughed together because we love one another and cherish this community that God has given us. We thank God for the beautiful weather and for the opportunity to gather as brothers and sisters in Christ. We are grateful for each one of you and thankful to be part of such a wonderful family of faith. May we continue to be united by His love, encouraging and strengthening one another in ways that honor and please Him.

Kehangatan kebersamaan yang kita rasakan Sabtu lalu masih terasa sampai hari ini. Kita bernyanyi, menari, dan tertawa bersama karena kita saling mengasihi dan mencintai komunitas yang Tuhan percayakan kepada kita. Kami bersyukur kepada Tuhan atas cuaca yang baik dan kesempatan yang Dia berikan sehingga kita dapat berkumpul dan menikmati kebersamaan sebagai saudara dan saudari seiman di dalam Kristus. Kami sangat bersyukur untuk setiap saudara/i dan berterima kasih karena menjadi bagian dari keluarga rohani yang indah ini. Kiranya kita terus dipersatukan oleh kasih-Nya, saling menguatkan, mendukung, dan mendorong satu sama lain untuk hidup yang berkenan kepada Tuhan.

Becoming a blessing through words

The church is not just a large building, but a community that builds each other up, and one of the most tangible ways to bring Christ's love into our community is by being mindful of our daily words.

Care Groups help congregations build strong fellowships like the early church.

Those led by the flesh tend to speak uncontrollably and are easily overcome by emotion. In contrast, those led by the Holy Spirit think before they speak, show empathy, and control their anger.

Therefore, we are called to speak with wisdom so that we reflect the character of Christ.

Proverbs 16:24
Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

Have you ever wondered what’s going on outside the sanctuary on Sundays? While worship is happening inside, another generation is being shaped outside those doors. Little hearts are learning who God is and why His love matters. Because we’re not just caring for children today. We’re building a generation that will fill that sanctuary one day.

Pernahkah kamu bertanya-tanya apa yang terjadi di luar sanctuary setiap hari Minggu? Saat ibadah berlangsung di dalam, ada generasi baru yang sedang dibentuk di luar ruangan itu. Hati-hati kecil sedang belajar mengenal siapa Tuhan dan mengapa kasih-Nya begitu berarti. Karena kami bukan hanya menjaga anak-anak hari ini. Kami sedang membangun generasi yang suatu hari akan memenuhi sanctuary itu.
