Save yourself and us!” 40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. ” 43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Sorry, this

For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.’” (Acts 18:9-10) We can read the Bible in various ways. I think the easiest way is to start from Genesis and continue reading to Revelation. Have you read the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation? Genesis is not that difficult to read, and Exodus is also relatively readable. But it gets tougher from Leviticus onward. Reading and understanding

Before Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, He spoke about mission, as recorded in Matthew 28:18-20. It says, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” This is known as the “Great Commission.” Brothers and sisters, do you know what the Great Commission is?

In the past, I have mentioned several times about King Josiah, who carried out religious reforms in Judah. Judah, the southern kingdom of Israel, had many problems. In particular, the rulers before Josiah, King Manasseh and Amon, were considered evil kings as they allowed idolatry to be practiced even in Jerusalem, and they ruled in a way that was against God’s laws. It was in this context that King Josiah tried to reform the country, and one of the prophets who encouraged

Jehoshaphat became wealthy as a result of obeying God’s word. There are many testimonies of people becoming rich after believing in Jesus. I believe there are such testimonies in IBF Church too. However, just believing in Jesus does not necessarily mean that whoever believes in Jesus will become rich. You know that well, don’t you? Many times, people suffer as a result of believing in Jesus. Living a

Each week, we celebrated the different blessings of Christ: peace, hope, and, for this week, joy. On the first Sunday, we remembered the peace that he brings, and we read from Isaiah 9:6, which says, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Our Lord and Savior
