Our faith enables us to trust God. When we trust God, He gives us the wisdom to help us make tough choices in life especially during challenging times. Even when we make mistakes, God can use it for His purpose. This is the beauty of putting our faith and trust in Him.

Trials produce mature faith.

Our faith grows when it is tested.

When we face troubles, we should respond in joy. How do we respond in joy?

Be encouraged as you listen to Ps. Roy preach on the James 1:2-4.

When you think about your calling, you might think about what you’re meant to do. But you’re wondering how to find your purpose? It's not always easy, and when you find it, it will probably be even tougher to live it out. The moment you step into your calling, you step out of your comfort zone. But when you're called to a purpose, backing down isn't an option.

Listen to Pastor Roy’s preaching to discover how living your calling out may come at a cost—but it will also sustain you in the long run.

When you think about your calling, you might think about what you’re meant to do. But your purpose isn’t as much about what you’re doing as it is who you’re becoming. Your calling isn’t about what you do—your calling is about who you are. Listen to Pastor Roy's preaching and discover what it means to be called!

God is a father to you. We are His sons and daughters, He loves us unconditionally.

The gospels ended with Jesus’ giving His disciples the Great Commission: “Go and make disciples.” The Book of Acts followed, showing how even without Jesus, the disciples carried on His mission in the power of the  Holy Spirit. At the end of Acts, Paul is shown still passionately proclaiming that Jesus had come and explaining His teaching to all. This same mission is passed on to us, as followers of God and part of the same church.

One of the marks of the early church is the gospel, the message of salvation through the grace of Jesus. It is not traditions, religious practices, or our works that maintain the truth of the gospel. In fact, good works are naturally birthed as we experience the truth and freedom of the message of Christ.

In Acts 12:1–5, the young church was facing a new, intense situation. Herod was persecuting the church leaders. He had James killed, then wanted to do the same to Peter. In response to this threat, the church prayed to God, who they knew was the only one that could save Peter. Though there are many aspects to prayer, what prayer lessons can we learn from the early church as they faced this particular circumstance?

One of the marks of the church is community. As God's people we are called to encourage, love, and accept one another regardless of our differences and our pasts. As a community of believers, we should reflect the love and goodness of God.

One of the marks of the early church was service. Jesus unmistakably took the position of a servant leader.  As the body of Christ, each of us has been given the skills and gifts to serve in the purpose that God has for us.
