This Sunday – Morning & Evening Services
This morning at 10.00 a.m., we’ll open Revelation 14 in a message titled “Safe in the Lamb”. After the darkness of chapter 13, this passage gives us a refreshing glimpse of Christ’s certain victory. The 144,000 sealed servants stand with the Lamb — none lost, all preserved — reminding us that God keeps His people to the very end. It challenges us to live with purity, bold witness, and confident hope in His keeping power.
In the evening at 6.00 p.m., we’ll turn to 2 Corinthians 2–3 for “Fragrance – The Character of True Gospel Ministry”. Paul shows that true ministry is triumphant in Christ, authenticated by transformed lives, and glorious in the Spirit’s work. Our lives should carry the aroma of Christ — cleansed by His blood, saturated in His Word, marked by worship, and lived in obedience.
Practical takeaway: In a world that often feels dark and opposed to truth, stay close to the Lamb who secures you, and walk daily in a way that spreads His fragrance — so that others may see, hear, and know the reality of Jesus in you.
Quote of the Week
“As God’s children, we are His dependents. The Bible says, ‘Like as a father pities his children, so the Lord pities them that fear Him.’ Dependent children spend little time worrying about meals, clothing, and shelter. They assume, and they have a right to, that all will be provided by their parents. Because God is responsible for our welfare, we are told to cast all our care upon Him, for he cares for us.” – Billy Graham
