  Paskah adalah Perayaan Kebangkitan, Pembaharuan dan Iman Saudara-saudari dalam Yesus Kristus, Saat kita berkumpul untuk merayakan Paskah, mari kita telusuri makna sejati dari Paska. Perayaan ini bukan hanya kenangan sejarah, tetapi juga proklamasi iman yang kuat untuk mengatasi keputusasaan, menawarkan kelahiran kembali rohani, harapan yang tak tergoyahkan, dan janji kehidupan kekal melalui kemenangan Kristus atas salib. Seperti yang ditulis Rasul Paulus, "Jika Kristus tidak bangkit, imanmu sia-sia" (1 Kor 15:17). Kebenaran mendalam ini menekankan peran sentral Paskah dalam keyakinan Kristen kita. 2. Dasar-dasar Alkitabiah dan Sejarah: Kebijaksanaan rohani Paskah terletak pada jawabannya terhadap keadaan eksistensial manusia: dosa dan kematian. Kami percaya bahwa penyaliban Yesus sebagai pengorbanan penebus, memulihkan hubungan kita dengan Tuhan, sedangkan kebangkitan-Nya mengonfirmasi keilahian-Nya dan mengukuhkan janji keselamatan. Seperti yang ditegaskan Rasul Paul...

  Paska (Easter) is a Celebration of Resurrection, Renewal and Faith Dear Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ, As we gather together to celebrate the Easter, let us look into the true meaning of Paska. This joyous occasion is not merely a historical remembrance but also a vibrant proclamation of faith’s power to transcend despair, offering us spiritual rebirth, unshakable hope and the promise of eternal life through Christ’s victory over cross. As the Apostle Paul wrote, "If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile" (1 Cor 15:17). This profound truth emphasizes the central role of Easter in our Christian belief. 2. Scriptural and Historical Foundations: Easter’s spiritual wisdom lies in its answer to humanity’s existential plight: sin and mortality. We believe Jesus’s crucifixion served as an atoning sacrifice, reconciling us with God, while His resurrection affirmed His divinity and sealed the promise of salvation. As the Apostle Paul asserts, "If Christ ...

  1. Introduction: The consecrated life is a gift which the Heavenly Father has given to the church through the Holy Spirit so that, in faithfulness to the Gospel, the most characteristic qualities of the life of his Son Jesus, the chaste, poor and obedient one (Mt. 8:20), and the profound riches of his mystery (Eph 3:8), might be present in the world and might draw everyone toward the kingdom of God. Therefore, "the consecrated life and its role in the church and in the world" is a grace-filled moment for the entire people of God. All are called to contemplation, to fidelity and fruitfulness to be prophetic witness. Most of us probably don't think of ourselves as prophets. And yet, if we would go back to our baptism and the ritual that was performed when we became disciples of Jesus through baptism, we would easily understand that every one of us, is called to be a prophet. As Jesus was priest, prophet and king, so may you also live always as a member of His body. ...

  Linking past events in life! “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.” Dear Friends,  today I want to share a story of Steve Jobs……………………… “Success is hopping from failure to failure.” Once Larry Brown said: “You have to do something in your life that is honorable and, not cowardly, if you are to live in peace with yourself.” I dropped out of College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?  It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so every...

God's covenant with Noah was  a commitment to maintain the inherent relationship between Creator and Creation ; His relationship with the natural order is understood in the act of creation – whereby God promised never again to destroy the earth with a flood. What is happening now all over the world? And why? 1. Introduction :                                                  We live in a world where lines exist everywhere. We see lines on sports fields, roadways, thermometers, measuring cups. We also see the splendid beauty of God’s creation where ocean meets sky , the angular form of a mountain, the curve of a shoreline. We come to understand that there is a delicate balance between what is imposed upon creation through human interaction and what the environment can sustain. Therefore, we need lines of action from top to bottom to protect the earth fro...
