The Greatest Missionary

If we want to be better Christian people, then we must know God better

1. God is merciful (Jonah 3:10 - 4:4).
2. God is mighty (Jonah 4:5-9).
3. God is missionary (Jonah 4:10-11).

Scripture reading from Jonah 4:

1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.
2 And he prayed to the LORD and said, O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.
3 Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.
4 And the LORD said, Do you do well to be angry?
5 Jonah went out of the city and sat to the east of the city and made a booth for himself there. He sat under it in the shade, till he should see what would become of the city.
6 Now the LORD God appointed a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant.
7 But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant, so that it withered.
8 When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on the head of Jonah so that he was faint. And he asked that he might die and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
9 But God said to Jonah, Do you do well to be angry for the plant? And he said, Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die.
10 And the LORD said, You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night.
11 And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?

Above All

Last Sunday our Pastor talked about prayer, and it hits right into me as I try to reflect that to my daily life. How often do I have a real intimate conversation with Him? What is the first thing I do to start the day?

He has granted me with all things that I need, and very often I have set my priorities wrongly, not putting Him first. Who am I to justify my own priorities!

Thank you Lord Jesus for the reminder, thank you for the salvation you have granted, to me and those who believe in You.

Heart of Worship

What do we expect of a worship experience when we go to church every Sunday? A majestic song played by an orchestra? Excellent Choir? Or a selection of songs that can express our emotion?

What happen if there is no praise team on one Sunday, no piano, no songs that we like, will it become a less meaningful worship? To whom is it meaningful? To us who sing it? Or to God? Is it a matter of our voice, our emotion, our heart?

Listen to this music, and ask yourself what should be the answers.

Ask ourself again when we come through the church door on a Sunday, what are we bringing as our offering to God?
