(MP3) Pray because God commands us to pray. (Luke 18:1) Know your God before you pray - Who is God to you? Remember John 15:16. The Covenant Keeping God - His promises never fails. (Numbers 23:19) When in need of answered prayers, check yourself before you pray. Align yourself with God first.

(MP3) (Video) How do you balance doing your job, service for Christ, caring for your family, taking care of yourself, and just enjoying life? Considering the context of Paul's 2nd missionary journey and his house arrest in Rome after his 3rd missionary journey, we see his purpose for the Philippians as the main thrust of Philippians 1:27-30. In the midst of our daily concerns, uncertainties and struggles, our call is to live a life worthy of the gospel and to stand firm in the one spirit, well-grounded on the truth. The Right Attitude
Role-models of sacrificial service for others
In the midst of our common daily struggles between competing demands in our life, the real problem is often our own selfishness and bad attitude toward others.

We are called to throw ourselves out for the welfare of others. Come join us at our English service of the International Church in Yangon! Psalm 23; John 10

Come join us at our English service of the International Church in Yangon! The series of "The Call to Undivided Intimacy"
The 2nd commandment “Love God as Who He is” (Exodus 20:4-6) In the second commandment, God is saying, “Seek Me and love the real Me, instead of the God you imagined. I am a jealous God. I cannot let you to turn your heart to something that is not Me, believing that is Me.” It’s like, if there is a married couple, a husband or a wife cannot let their spouse turn their heart to someone else. This is the holy call to undivided intimacy from God. Today, we’ll first look at the context and the reasons why we need this commandment, and then unpack the problems that can happen when we ignore it. And later I’ll talk about how we may apply it in our life. Read more... For LifeNet groups and personal reflection 1. Think about the example (in your life if possible) of 1) Man-made image of God that distorts the glory of God, 2) Man-made image of God that misleads people, and 3) a distorted image of God that infects family. 2. Why is “being humble” the key to recognize God’s greatness, to accept what we really are, to be loved by God and to love God? How may we think about these, if we are not humble? 3. What may be your obstacles 1) to recognize God’s greatness more, 2) to accept what you really are in God’s eyes, 3) to restore image of God in your life, 4) to be love by God more and 5) to love God more?
