When facing process and uncertainty, we tend to seek something that is predictable and certain. This comes at a cost of our faith, as we define God as we want, unknowingly we are creating imaginary gods that give us false comfort. 

There are times when we feel like we are free falling - nothing motivates, energizes, or satisfies us anymore. This is not a time to question our faith and our maturity, we can see it as an invitation to trust the process, and get into deeper relationship with God instead. 

 When we go astray, away from our shepherd, we can learn from the Psalm that God disciplined us, God teaches us, and God protects us even when we go through valley of the death. This is the good news that we need amidst the darkest season in our lives. 

Gospel brings good news that we are justified, sanctified, and glorified. Thus as sinners who were blind, mute, deaf and disabled, our lives should be governed by Gospel of Jesus Christ. One of the main traits of the forgiven, then, is to release forgiveness. 

With the deaths and resurrection of Jesus, we now have a choice to live imitating Him, aligning our hope, intentions and expectation with His. Yet we set ourselves up to fail if we use Jesus as a tool, one that we define to fulfil our own hope and expectation.

We dive through what Jesus said on the cross, on that good Friday 2000 years ago - that affected all mankind until today.

There are times when we feel like darkness surrounds us and we are abandoned by all people around us - this Gospel brings good news that it was never the case, as God is with us and for us.

The positive power of the right routine set us up for good things even when we are in bad season.

 We are in a season when all of our shurch activities questioned and and hindered. This is the right time to revisit what does it mean to be a church

How to discern God and Holy Spirit's will instead of affirming our own deceitful heart that always changes 

Routine is our foundation. We build our lives based on what we do routinely. Whether built upon a rock or sand, our strength lies not in our circumstances, but with our invisible, unspectacular foundation.

Before any outwardly routines, the routine battle that we have everyday is the ones within our mind. Identifying toxic thoughts early can help us making the right decision, one battle at a time.

 If we love God, we will start to love our neighbours as well. Loving like Jesus means that we love without boundaries, and interests.

Widyawati Gunawan from Lifespring Counseling shared with us the joy, practice, pitfalls of parenting.

The world tends to lead us to consumerism, even in love, to be able to get the most satisfaction with the least effort & commitment whereas God shows us covenant relationship, how we should love one another in truth & grace.

True love means that we might not have all the answer, but we can trust His intention and character is beyond what we feel.

We spend most of our time waiting for God's vision to take place. This week we learn what we do when it seems that nothing we can do in the waiting season.

We faced setbacks and unanswered prayers, but in all things we can and will find that those barren seasons are the best thing that could happened to us.

When the wise old king leave an advice, we better put our attention to it. Solomon saw and chased it all, and gave us insight from the other side of worldly success - one that we need today.

Taken from the journey of Joseph. In the case of grace, you are never misplaced, be it up in the palace or down in the furnace, you're always within His embrace.
