Though we may suffer in poverty, hunger, sorrow, or persecution for our faith in Christ, Jesus promises eternal blessings. Stand firm — do not be consumed by temporal worldly success, but live in the hope of God’s kingdom and His everlasting promises.

True worship involves both joy and sorrow as we reflect on God’s faithfulness and our past. Laying foundations is hard but essential with vital united effort.

    34:33|
    This week, we reflect on Jesus’ promise of the Holy Spirit — the One sent to guide us into all truth and to glorify Christ. Though Jesus would soon leave His disciples, He assured them that His departure was for their benefit. In His place, the Helper would come: not a distant force, but a constant and personal presence, dwelling in us, helping us in our weakness, and making Jesus real and glorious to us each day.The Spirit never points to Himself, but always leads us to see Jesus, know Jesus, and live for Jesus.

    This Pentecost, Rev Dr William Chang contrasted life led by human pride with life empowered by the Holy Spirit. At Babel, man pursued unity on their own terms; at Pentecost, God united believers by His Spirit to proclaim the gospel. True peace and purpose come when we choose daily to walk in step with the Spirit.

Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we are called to a life of mission, love, and eternal purpose. God creates opportunities for His love to be known—if we simply avail ourselves in obedience.
