Ps. Arvin Atmadja

Moving forward in life is not based on waiting until we are ready, nor is it optional. Instead, it is an active, faithful response to God's grace. 

This Mother's Day, let's examine how to maintain and demonstrate faith during prolonged suffering, deep emotional pain, and unanswered prayers. Hannah (1 Samuel 1:1-20) asked for a son, and God gave Israel a prophet and judge.

What it truly means to follow Jesus as a committed disciple? John 8:31–32 highlights that true disciples must first abide in Christ's word, which allows them to know the truth, which ultimately set them free. A critique of modern Christian culture, which often trades long-term spiritual consistency for temporary inspiration or personal comfort.

This message is built around Amos 5:4–6, where God warns Israel: "Seek Me and live; but do not seek Bethel, nor enter Gilgal, nor pass over to Beersheba." Any historic, sacred locations can easily devolve into empty religious traditions if the hearts of the people turn away from a personal, genuine relationship with God.

A message centred on the Old Testament narrative found in 1 Samuel 25 involving three primary figures: Nabal (the fool), David (the furious), and Abigail (the wise).

An invitation to reframe our mindset when facing hardships and challenges. Grounded in James 1:1–5, it serves as a spiritual blueprint for navigating life's pressures and shifting our perspective from victims to overcomers. Instead of operating with a "victim mentality," we are commanded to hegeomai—take internal charge, choose joy, and govern our minds according to God's bigger picture.

The architectural metaphor of building a dream house based on 1 Corinthians 3:9-15. How are Christians meant to construct their faith, individual lives, and the church community? This message serves as a call to evaluate both the foundation we stand on and the quality of the spiritual materials we use in our daily lives and ministries.
