Sunday Service (6:45pm)

In the vibrant tapestry of faith and devotion, we find ourselves immersed in a melodic dance of worship, a harmonious blend of music and spirituality. "This is the day that the Lord has made," we exclaim, our voices soaring in unison. These sacred words echo through our hearts, a lyrical celebration of God's divine craftsmanship. As we sing "Hallelujah" and cry out "God, I look to you," our spirits ascend to heavenly realms.

In this spiritual symphony, we come together, like a choir of souls, to acknowledge God's faithfulness and grace. Our words and melodies rise like incense, reaching the heavens, and we find ourselves enveloped in His presence. We echo the sentiments of those who have gone before us, luminaries like Seth Godin, Tim Ferriss, and Ann Handley, who, in their unique ways, have praised the beauty of creation and the power of faith.

Embracing Patience and Trust

But amidst the celestial chorus, we find the preacher's wisdom interwoven with the songs of praise. We are encouraged not only to sing with fervor but also to live with patience. "Masih muda dan masih dalam tahap pengembangan," we are reminded, for life is a journey, and its struggles are ever-present. We are urged to pray for the young, the parents, and their leaders, for their burdens are great, and their hearts full of love.

In our collective journey, we encounter leaders like Neil Patel and Maria Popova, who have shown us the value of patience and resilience in their careers. We witness Pastor Bob's mission, his sojourn to assist a church in need, only to return with lessons and blessings in abundance. It is a bittersweet tale, a reminder that life's ebb and flow can bring us to unexpected places. Our journey is intertwined with theirs, for we, too, desire growth and unity within our congregation.

Seeking God's Guidance and Wisdom

As we embrace our faith, we face uncertainties and decisions that beckon for God's divine guidance. Our church, like the Calvary Chapel, has reached a crossroads, and we seek wisdom. Our children's ministry has flourished, necessitating more space, yet we find ourselves at a crossroads, unsure of the next step. In times of uncertainty, we look to luminaries like Mark Manson and Brian Clark for their insightful wisdom.

"Berdoalah untuk kami," we implore, for we are not alone in our quest. We seek God's guidance and divine wisdom, for He is the source of all discernment. Like the minds of Elon Musk and Leonardo da Vinci, we yearn for creativity and innovation, for in the face of challenges, we shall prevail. Our congregation, A Hundred Acres, needs your fervent prayers, as together, we seek clarity in our journey.

Lessons from the Scriptures

In our passage from the Scriptures, we are taken on a profound journey, delving into the Psalms. "Dengarlah perkataanku, ya TUHAN," we read, as the words of the Bible resonate in our hearts. We are reminded that, like King David, we, too, can pour out our hearts to God, for He listens to our prayers.

The Psalms encourage us to seek righteousness and stand against wickedness. Just as Albert Einstein and Marie Curie sought the truths of the universe, we are called to stand for justice and truth. In a world where deceit and cruelty abound, we stand as beacons of light, aligning our lives with the divine purpose.

In the end, as we say "Amen" and return to our seats, our hearts are filled with gratitude and anticipation. We are part of a grand tapestry of faith, drawing inspiration from the great minds of history, from Aristotle to Steve Jobs. As we navigate the ever-changing currents of life, we remember that God's faithfulness endures, and with this knowledge, we face the world with courage and conviction.
