https://odb.org/2024/07/28/transforming-worship If we know how to play an accompanying musical instrument like a guitar or a piano or keyboard (we don’t have to be very good at it), you may find worshipping a more personalised experience as you have full control of the music, especially the key you want to sing in. Alternatively, we canContinue reading “Worship that transforms”

God’s life changing gift
https://odb.org/2024/07/03/a-life-changing-gift We know that the Bible is life-changing as at the macro level, we get a glimpse of who God is from the outset at creation until He called Abraham out of the Ur of the Caldeans to Canaan and from Jacob’s family of 70 who settled in Egypt, they became a community or nationContinue reading “God’s life changing gift”
Life’s pilgrimage
https://odb.org/2024/06/27/lifes-pilgrimage I think what distinguishes us believers from non-believers is that we not only have God in our lives but also a purpose in God. We have a calling in Christ with God’s plans and purposes for us, conceived even before we were formed in our mother’s womb. Life’s journey is not the end itselfContinue reading “Life’s pilgrimage”
We are fearfully and wonderfully made
https://odb.org/2024/06/12/wonderfully-complex This verse from Psalm 139:14 written by David is the well-known exaltation that God took the effort to personally make each and every one of us. We are fearfully and wonderfully made! We know from Jeremiah 1:5 that the LORD Himself proclaimed that He knew Jeremiah before He formed him in his mother’s womb.Continue reading “We are fearfully and wonderfully made”
Death and the grave
https://odb.org/2024/06/11/shebnas-grave I know of people who placed less priority on the grave because if we are in the faith, we have the assurance of resurrection one day. Where our earthen body is placed after death and whether we are buried or cremated are less important as our resurrected body is not dependent on the locationContinue reading “Death and the grave”
Praise and worship
https://odb.org/2024/05/28/impromptu-praise Acts 16:16-26 is a well-known passage of Paul and Silas being publicly flogged and then thrown into prison after casting out a powerful demon of divination from a slave girl. Although they were placed in the inner cell and had their legs bound to chains, they sang praises and worshipped God. The praises andContinue reading “Praise and worship”
Spiritual gifts
https://odb.org/2024/05/07/the-god-of-our-personality-and-gifts Romans 12 is the turning point in Paul’s writings in the book of Romans that targeted both Gentiles and Jews in Rome, as distinct from the Jews living in Jerusalem. Paul started by teaching on the salvation brought by Christ first to the Jews, then to the Gentiles. Of the Son of God already spokenContinue reading “Spiritual gifts”
God our refuge
https://odb.org/2024/03/07/strength-and-tenderness The temptation to sin is always present all around us. It could be the work of dark forces in the spiritual realm, or it could also be naturally occurring as a lot of times it could also be an internal perception. Meaning to say, instead of some invinsible being putting temptations along our way,Continue reading “God our refuge”
Led by the Spirit
https://odb.org/2024/01/29/sharing-by-caring We just heard a message yesterday on loving your neighbour from the classic Good Samaritan story told by Jesus. Not so much finding out who is the neighbour to love but more becoming the person who loves, the person who intentionally responds to a need. Thus, our role is to be the Good Samaritan,Continue reading “Led by the Spirit”
Follow His law and percepts
https://odb.org/2024/01/05/crossroads I have written in these pages before quoting Joshua’s example, the exhortation given by the LORD for Joshua to lead the new generation of Israelites (the first generation had already died in desert) into the Promised Land (that was promised by God to Abraham and his descendants). God exhorted Joshua to be strong andContinue reading “Follow His law and percepts”
