Sunday Service November, 9th 2014 - God's Normal (Part 3)

Okay, today is our last part about God's Normal.

Today's preacher was Joe Sentoso!

It is not easy to love somebody who is not perfect tapi Tuhan bisa menerima dan mengampuni kita eventho' kita udah melakukan dosa berulang-ulang kali. How can I know apa yang Tuhan mau buat kita?

Kita hidup dan lahir dari keluarga yang berbeda. Mungkin apa yang normal for my family, ga normal buat keluarga kalian. Keluarga saya mungkin berbeda dengan keluarga kalian.

Matius 22:36-39

Perintah yang paling penting dan utama di dalam hukum agama

"Cintailah Tuhan Allah mu dengan sepenuh hati mu dan segenap jiwa mu dan seluruh akal mu"

"To love your God with all your heart, with all your mind and with all your soul"

"Cintailah sesama mu seperti engkau mencintai dirimu sendiri"

If you love God, you'll love yourself and you must love your neighbor. Maybe some people think that cheating is okay, why? Karena kalian berada di lingkungan yang berpikir bahwa cheating is okay.

Kita mencontek, kita ga bakal tau apakah kita menyakiti Tuhan apa engga, tapi kita tetap saja melakukan hal tersebut. Ya kecuali kalau kalian dalam satu kelas think that cheating is okay, than is okay for you and your friends, but kalo dalam satu kelas think that cheating is not fair, than cheating is not fair. Apakah kalian juga mau dicontek? Tentu tidak.

Another example, kalo pacaran, mungkin kalian think that pacaran sama 2 orang sekaligus okay, tapi apakah kalian tahu bahwa hal tersebut secara tak langsung akan menyakiti mereka? Tentu saja akan menyakiti hati Tuhan juga. Apakah kalo pacar kalian itu juga punya pacar lain dan kalian akan menerimanya? Kalau tidak, janganlah juga kalian melakukan itu.

Kalo kita berbohong, dan teman kita tahu hal tersebut? Will they like it? Of course no, then don't do that.

How can I know what's normal for God? 

Ask Him. 

Apakah saya lakuin hal ini akan nyakitin Tuhan? Apakah hal ini akan nyakitin temen saya atau diri saya?

Kalian bisa nanya atau cerita ke temen-temen kalian atau ke kakak mentor mungkin di gereja kalian atau guru, tentang keluarga, misalnya "saya terlahir di keluarga seperti ini, keluarga yg tidak harmonis dan bagi saya, jika papa atau mama saya berantem atau memukul saya itu sudah biasa, bagaimana pendapatmu? Apakah hal tersebut normal buat kalian?"

That's why for my church a.k.a. JPCC, small group is really important, to share about our life or our problem.

Join us in JPCC Youth and be our family! Let's grow up together!

Sunday Service November, 2nd 2014 - God's Normal (Part 2)

Hi Guys! Now, we'll talk about God's Normal part 2!

Okay, today's preacher was Kenny Goh, one of our beloved and single Youth Pastor! \m/

                                "What is normal for us may not be normal for God"

The example;
If we had a bad score or we did something wrong, what's normal for us is that our parents will angry or scold us. But, if our parents just give us an advice or they're not angry to us, then we'll think that's weird. They suppose to be angry or scold us, but they don't do that.

Another example;
God's response if we did something wrong or God's response to our sin, is God forgives us.

But people nowadays will scold or they will alienate us. 

Yang normal buat kita, belum tentu normal buat Tuhan.
If you say "YES" to living a-God-Normal-life.. Be ready!!! It will never be easy, but let's do it together!!!
"I'm so blessed to invest my time at jpccyouth.. This is my home.."
So join with us!

Sunday Service October, 26th 2014 - God's Normal (Part 1)

Hi guys! Now, I will post about today's service. Preacher for today was Joe Sentoso. He reminded us about "God's Normal", about how to be different from what people think it is normal.

"Just because everyone is doing it, does not mean you have to do it"

"What is normal for you may not be normal for God"

Highlights of Engage 2014

From Engage Youth Festival 2014, It wasn't only blessed event, but there was so many merchandises sold on the event. All participants were so excited by those merchandises, It could seen by so many people bought the merchandises. Since I was the volunteer of the Engage Youth Festival 2014, so I got the sticker, the bracelet "No Other Name" and I also bought the tattoo.

ENGAGE Youth Festival OPENING NIGHT 2014

Hey Y'all!! Have you heard about ENGAGE Youth Festival? Engage Youth Festival is one of annual event held by JPCC Youth. For this year, Engage Youth Festival held on 17- 18th October, 2014 at Upper Room Jakarta. It was really really really awesome! For the opening night, there was great praise and worship from the team, and preach by the one and only Ps. Rick Wilkerson Jr. 

The opening night was for public, but since the event is for junior and high school students, so there was so many students. The preach was really great and blessed. Ps. Rich gave us the illustration to get burn in Jesus. I mean, You can't just get the heat, you need to burn up in Jesus, and being addicted to Jesus is really a good thing. 

That's all for the opening night, be ready for the next post of the "real" ENGAGE Youth Festival 2014 and praise party!
