By Pastor Jason Lim

Christians live in a hostile world. Our savior was hated. We will be persecuted too. But we respond by focusing on our:

1. VERTICAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

We are to be clear-minded about the return of Jesus, who will judge all things. We are to be prayerful for the sake of our purity and perseverance.

2. HORIZONTAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CHURCH

Jesus' return should lead us to love one another earnestly. We show hospitality and serve one another with our gifts.

We are so prone to believe that what God is after in us is only huge acts of service. But God really intends for the Christian life to be a long journey of small, humble, and joyful obedience.

May God be glorified in His church!
