In these challenging times, when tensions can run high, it's important to remember the power of forgiveness. As the Bible reminds us, "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32) Extending grace and letting go of resentment can be truly liberating—not just for the one receiving forgiveness, but for the one offering it as well. When we choose to forgive, we free ourselves from the burden of bitterness and open the door to healing and restoration.

================This Week's Scripture:// Ephesians 4:31-32 // Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

In a fast-paced world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and question the significance of our daily efforts. But remember what God says in Ephesians 2:10: "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” As we navigate the challenges and opportunities of the city, let's embrace the unique purpose God has for each of us. Whether it's through acts of kindness, community service, or simply being a light in someone's life, our work has eternal value.

================This Week's Scripture:// Psalm 127 //A song of ascents. Of Solomon.Unless the Lord builds the house,    the builders labour in vain.Unless the Lord watches over the city,    the guards stand watch in vain.In vain you rise early    and stay up late,toiling for food to eat –    for he grants sleep to those he loves.
Children are a heritage from the Lord,    offspring a reward from him.Like arrows in the hands of a warrior    are children born in one’s youth.Blessed is the man    whose quiver is full of them.They will not be put to shame    when they contend with their opponents in court.

In these fast-paced times, may we find true and lasting joy by trusting in the God of hope, especially as we navigate the instant world around us, we continue to pray that the power of the Holy Spirit fill us with overflowing joy and peace.⁠ No matter what challenges we face, the Lord will sustain us and empower us to be disciples who spread His light.⁠ Indeed, as Romans 15:13 reminds us, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."⁠

================This Week's Scripture:// Psalm 126 //A song of ascents.When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion,    we were like those who dreamed.Our mouths were filled with laughter,    our tongues with songs of joy.Then it was said among the nations,    ‘The LORD has done great things for them.’The LORD has done great things for us,    and we are filled with joy.
Restore our fortunes, LORD,    like streams in the Negev.Those who sow with tears    will reap with songs of joy.Those who go out weeping,    carrying seed to sow,will return with songs of joy,    carrying sheaves with them.

This week, in the hustle of Hong Kong's vibrant streets, amidst the towering skyscrapers and the relentless pursuit of success, we've found a moment of profound liberation. Matthew 13:44 reminds us that, "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” And here, In a city that never sleeps, where the race for more can be all-consuming, we've discovered that true wealth isn't found in the material, but in the spiritual treasures that await us. We are not alone in our discipleship journey. Together, we have escaped the fleeting and embraced the everlasting. Let's continue to seek the hidden treasures in our lives and in our city.

================This Week's Scripture:// Psalm 124 //Thanksgiving for Israel’s DeliveranceA Song of Ascents. Of David.If it had not been the LORD who was on our side    —let Israel now say—if it had not been the LORD who was on our side,    when our enemies attacked us,then they would have swallowed us up alive,    when their anger was kindled against us;then the flood would have swept us away,    the torrent would have gone over us;then over us would have gone    the raging waters.
Blessed be the LORD,    who has not given us    as prey to their teeth.We have escaped like a bird    from the snare of the fowlers;the snare is broken,    and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name of the LORD,    who made heaven and earth.

This week, we reflect on the words from Micah 7:7 as we navigate the complexities of our time: "But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me." This passage speaks to the heart of our city, encouraging us to look forward with hope and trust in the midst of uncertainty. In the stillness of anticipation, we find strength and reassurance that our voices are heard, and our aspirations are not forgotten. Indeed, we wait together, not in idleness, but in active hope, for a future where our city shines brighter than ever before.

================This Week's Scripture:// Psalm 123 //A song of ascents.I lift up my eyes to you,    to you who sit enthroned in heaven.As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,    as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,so our eyes look to the LORD our God,    till he shows us his mercy.
Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us,    for we have endured no end of contempt.We have endured no end    of ridicule from the arrogant,    of contempt from the proud.

This Sunday, we embrace "The Power of Worship" and the profound peace it brings, as promised in Philippians 4:7: "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Amidst the hustle and ever-changing tides of our city, worship stands as a beacon of hope, a practice that goes beyond Sunday rituals—it's a transformative force that renews our spirit daily. It's in worship that we find the strength to rise above our challenges, to see beyond the turmoil, and to anchor ourselves in the steadfast love and sovereignty of God.

================This Week's Scripture:// Psalm 122 //A song of ascents. Of David.I rejoiced with those who said to me,    “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”Our feet are standing    in your gates, Jerusalem.Jerusalem is built like a city    that is closely compacted together.That is where the tribes go up—    the tribes of the Lord—to praise the name of the Lord    according to the statute given to Israel.There stand the thrones for judgment,    the thrones of the house of David.Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:    “May those who love you be secure.May there be peace within your walls    and security within your citadels.”For the sake of my family and friends,    I will say, “Peace be within you.”For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,    I will seek your prosperity.
