Our Statement of Faith:

Jesus Christ, the Word who became flesh, died on the cross for the redemption of sinners, resurrected on the third day, and ascended to heaven. He is the only Savior of mankind, the Creator of the heavens and earth, and the only true God. The Holy Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is inspired by God, the only scriptural truth, and the standard for Christian

living. The True Jesus Church, established by our Lord Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit during the time of the 'latter rain', is the restored true church of the apostolic time. Water baptism is the sacrament for the remission of sins for regeneration. The baptism must take place in natural living water, such as the river, sea, or spring. The Baptist, who already has had received baptism of water and the Holy Spirit, conducts the baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And the person receiving the baptism must be completely immersed in water with head bowed and face downward. Receiving the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in tongues, is the guarantee of our inheritance of the kingdom of heaven. The sacrament of footwashing enables one to have a part with the Lord Jesus. It also serves as a constant reminder that one should have love, holiness, humility, forgiveness, and service. Every person who has received water baptism must have his/her feet washed in the name of Jesus Christ. The Holy Communion is the sacrament to commemorate the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. It enables us to partake of the flesh and blood of our Lord and to be in communion with Him so that we can have eternal life and be raised on the last day. This sacrament shall be held as often as possible. Only one unleavened bread and grape juice shall be used. The Sabbath day, the seventh day of the week (Saturday), is a holy day, blessed and sanctified by God. It is to be observed under the Lord's grace for the commemoration of God's creation and salvation, and with the hope of eternal rest in the life to come. Salvation is given by the grace of God through faith. Believers must rely on the Holy Spirit to pursue holiness, to honor God, and to love humanity. The Lord's Second Coming will take place on the last day when He descends from heaven to judge the world: the righteous will receive eternal life, while the wicked will be eternally condemned.

Right now on your journey of faith—whether you are trudging through the wilderness or finding rest in the land flowing with milk and honey—the Lord your God has never let you out of His sight.

In Deuteronomy 2:7, Moses reminds the Israelites of God’s consistent care and provision for them throughout their time in the wilderness.

“For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He knows your trudging through this great wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.” (Deut. 2:7)

There are three beautiful truths revealed to us in this verse.

First, God guides us and blesses the work of our hands. Moses reminds the Israelites that their efforts succeeded not by their own strength, but by God’s sustaining grace. This shows us that God sees and blesses our work, and He walks with us and provides for us even when the destination feels far away.

Second, God watches over us even in suffering. Though the Israelites were disciplined for their lack of faith, God never abandoned them—He walked with them every step of the way. When we face hardships that feel overwhelming, we are reminded that nothing is too great for the Lord. He knows our suffering and invites us to rely on His power rather than our own.

Third, God provides so that we lack nothing we truly need. In the wilderness, He sent manna from heaven, brought water from a rock, and appointed a leader to guide His people. Everything—seen and unseen—is carefully provided according to God’s perfect plan.

So today, let us reflect on how God has shown us His great mercy and steadfast love. Let us praise God for His faithfulness, and remember that even through suffering, He has never left us alone.

✨Happy New Year! ✨
2025 has officially come to an end, and 2026 has just begun.

The start of a new year is often when we set goals, make resolutions, and dream about who we want to become—more disciplined, more intentional, more fulfilled. But it’s also a time to reflect more deeply: How do we want to live? How do we want to carry ourselves as children of God in this next chapter of our lives?

This year, our theme is “Come and See.”

“The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.”
— Matthew 9:37

In this verse, Jesus reminds us that there are countless souls ready to hear and receive the message of salvation—people who are searching, confused, and longing for truth, like sheep without a shepherd. Yet, the number of laborers willing to go, teach, and share the good news is few.

The harvest represents those with hearts ready for Christ. The laborers are His disciples—each of us who are called to preach, teach, love, and guide others toward Him.

As we step into this new year, let us hear Christ’s call clearly. There is work to be done, lives to be touched, and hope to be shared. May 2026 be a year where we step forward in faith, answering His call and inviting others to “come and see” the good news that Christ brings.

Teleios (meaning perfect), as Jesus uses the word, isn’t about being sinless — it’s about being whole.

‘Therefore you shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.’ — Matthew 5:48

When Jesus tells us to be perfect, many people instinctively withdraw from His call. This is because the word feels heavy, unrealistic, and unachievable to most people. But what if Jesus’ definition of ‘perfect’ doesn’t mean being sinless or flawless at all?

Teleios actually speaks of wholeness, maturity, and becoming who God designed us to be. So when Jesus calls us to be perfect, He’s inviting us to grow into full maturity — lacking nothing necessary for completeness — as we live out our God-given purpose.

So the real question we should ask ourselves is, “How do we become whole in Christ?”

In 1 John 4:12, 18, and Colossians 3:14, the Bible shows that teleios is tied to love made complete — love that reflects God’s own. In other words, to be whole in Christ, we must be mature and complete in love.

So when Jesus calls us to be perfect, He reminds us of three truths:

First, God’s love is perfect. It is complete, unconditional, and unwavering, extending even to those who oppose or reject Him.
Second, we are called to grow into that mature, complete love — the kind that touches the hearts of others and draws them closer to God.
Third, when our love is complete, it reflects God’s character. It heals, unites, and transforms people, showing the world God’s presence and goodness.

Being perfect in Christ isn’t about being flawless — it’s about letting God’s love complete us so that we can love others as He does, fulfill the plan He has for us, and shine His light in the world. Now, you see that perfection isn’t impossible. It’s about becoming who God created us to be, step by step, rooted in His love.

Be Still and Encounter God.

So much of our lives is spent rushing—planning, working, worrying, striving. But God invites us to something different: stillness. In quietness, He reminds us that He is God, that He is in control, and that His peace is greater than our fears.

🌿 Shift your focus - Instead of being consumed by what’s urgent, fix your eyes on what’s eternal. When we look to Jesus, the noises in our lives fade, and His presence becomes our guide.
🌿 Surrender control - We were never meant to carry everything on our own. Let go of what you can’t control, and trust that God’s plan is better than anything we could orchestrate.
🌿 Look to the Lord for help - When life feels overwhelming, we don’t have to rely on our own strength. God is our refuge, our comfort, and our helper in times of trouble.

When you feel troubled, hold on to this promise: “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” (Exodus 14:14)
When you find yourself worrying about daily needs, take comfort in Jesus’ words: “Look at the birds of the air… your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” (Matthew 6:26)
And today, let God’s invitation settle in your heart: “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalm 46:10)

God is not far away. He is not a foreign being, distant and cold, but our Heavenly Father who knows us, loves us, and draws near to us.

In Matthew 17:7, the disciples had just witnessed the glory of the transfiguration, with Jesus’ face shining like the sun, His clothes white as light, and the voice of God declaring Him to be His beloved Son. Overwhelmed with fear, the disciples fell to the ground. But Jesus didn’t leave them there. He came to them, touched them, and said, “Arise and do not be afraid.”

This moment reveals the true nature of God. He is not far, distant, or cold. He willingly meets us in our infirmities, flaws, and weaknesses. His love reaches past our trembling and brings us peace in our most vulnerable moments.

We may sometimes imagine God as a distant ruler, powerful, unapproachable, and shrouded in glory. But in truth, He is the One who bends down to meet us where we are. He is the One who places His hand on our shoulder and whispers, “Do not be afraid.”

In every season—whether in awe, in doubt, in fear, or in weakness—God is near. And His nearness is not passive; it is active, personal, and full of compassion. The same Jesus who walked up the mountain with His disciples is the same Jesus who steps into our lives today, reaching out to lift us up.

Let us worship Him not only as the Almighty, but as the God who draws near.

Though the Bible was written thousands of years ago, it often feels as if God is speaking directly to us each time we read it. Its sharp words pierce our hearts, and moving messages touch our souls. Engaging with the Bible is an intimate experience that reveals more about our Savior, ourselves, and the world around us. There are three key reasons why reading the Bible is so important.

First, God’s word is spiritual food. Without it, we will never feel fulfilled. Matthew 4:4 says, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Although bread may satisfy our physical hunger, only God can satisfy our souls. While worldly pleasures lead to more emptiness in our hearts, by consuming the word of God, we attain wisdom, guidance, and strength. If we internalize its teachings, we can transform our hearts and minds, aligning them with God’s will.

Second, God’s word is a lamp. Without it, we are likely to stumble down the wrong path. Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” This verse shows us that the Bible leads us on the righteous path. It reveals the steps to salvation and guides us through the sinful world. If we strive to live a life of holiness, God’s word instructs us how to live a life pleasing to Him.

Third, God’s word is a mirror. Without it, we are unable to see our true selves. James 1:23-24 says, “For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.” Just as a mirror reveals our appearance, the word of God reveals the state of our hearts. It reflects our spiritual condition and convicts us of our shortcomings. But awareness is not enough; we must strive to change. We must live out God’s word to walk in righteousness.

As we read the Bible, we are blessed to experience God’s love poured out in our hearts. But if its length is intimidating, here are some tips to start! Read a little a day, take time to reflect on the passage, and ask the Holy Spirit to help us so that the words may touch us and that we can understand them correctly.
