Focus! Focus! Focus!
Jul 2nd
I shared this on our Youth group last month. I hope this can help you to focus on what you are doing now – your life, your study, your career, and your ministry. What is focus? How can we focus? Learn from Jesus and let’s focus on doing His will in our lives!

Our Everything by Lifehouse drama skit on Easter celebration
Mar 31st
We had our early Easter celebration in our church last Sunday (28th March 2010). We did a drama skit on the Everything by Lifehouse song (which has been performed many times in different churches around the world and it has touched many many hearts).
Here is our version – I played as God (not an easy thing to do!). We’re thinking to do a remake to get a better camera positioning to record though :(
Here is the video, embedded from YouTube:
Trusting God’s Timing
Mar 11th
My good friend sent me this to my email. He took it from his friend’s blog post, How I know that he is the one from God. It really is a good read especially for me who’s still single at his 30s. Waiting for God for His perfect timing can be a bit daunting and distressful, but I know at the end, it’s always the most beautiful moment we’ve ever experienced with Him.
Check this post out, especially if you are waiting for God’s answer to your prayers.
Teamwork in the ministry
Mar 4th

I was teaching about the importance of teamwork on the last preparation class in my church before the new congregration members start serving in our church ministries. I taught the importance of having a goal, trust, communication, initiative, humility, and being submissive. These “simple” traits are often overlooked and can become a disaster in your ministry & others.
No matter how skillful you are, no matter how good you think you are, your ministry is never bigger than your character. God always choose a person with a good heart, a good character. He never choose someone because he/she is capable.

When love blinds you
Feb 17th

Translated from the original sermon notes.
Read 2 Samuel 13 (consequences after David sinned).
Amnon, David’s son, fell in love with his own sister, Tamar (the same father (David) but with a different mom). In the Torah, it’s not allowed to marry with your own sibling, therefore Amnon forced and raped Tamar (verse 14). Amnon changed though, from loving Tamar to hating her. In verse 15: “Then Amnon hated her with very great hatred, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her“. Absalom, his brother, knew about this and swore for a revenge. Two years after, Amnon was murdered by Absalom.
Unfailing Love video
Nov 30th

We had a Christmas celebration yesterday (29/11/2009) at our church, Emmanuel Baptist Church (EBC), where a few of our friends wrote together a nice piece of song titled “Unfailing Love”. The song was written by Kalvin Hanjaya Ananda, Giovanni Julius Sutjiutama, and Jesse Wisesa Oey.
Kalvin also played the guitar while Jesse was the singer. Here is the video, I hope you love it as much as I do.
