Summary:
Let us emulate the Ethiopian eunuch in loving both the temple of God and the word of God.

• Loved temple of God: He willingly made the time and effort to travel ~100km to Jerusalem! As pandemic restrictions ease, will we make the journey to worship in church? We give many reasons e.g. can’t sing hymns. But a person who truly loves God would know worshipping in church is different from worshipping at home - the environment helps to prepare our hearts, we’re able to worship alongside fellow brethren, we can get laid hands upon!
• Loved word of God: After worshipping in Jerusalem, he spent his journey back reading the Scriptures! How many of us would read the Bible on the way/at home after church service? Some people love the temple of God but don’t love the word of God. They love to come to church for service but don’t love to listen to the word of God. Some people love the word of God but don’t love the temple of God. They read the Bible at home daily but don’t want to go to church.

Summary:
How can we become a united and loving body (based on 1 Cor 12)?

1. Recognise everyone in the body of Christ is very different. Nevertheless, we are joined together by the Spirit of Christ.
2. No one is indispensable, but we should view everyone as necessary. Just like how important you realise one little finger is only after you injure it!
3. Put in more effort on the parts of the body/people that are “less presentable”. That’s what we do for our own bodies (e.g. if our hair is not so nice, we would put in more effort to style it). The same goes for the body of Christ.
4. If one suffers, all suffer. If one is honoured, all rejoice. Do we also suffer when another suffers? If another person is honoured, do we feel envious or do we rejoice with them?

Summary:
Many things about tomorrow, we don’t seem to understand. But we know who holds tomorrow, and we know who holds our hand.

Summary:
Jesus told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit. They didn’t know how long they had to wait, but they waited in faith, because they knew the Lord Jesus was faithful and would keep His promise. God will definitely grant the Holy Spirit to those He wills. If we likewise wait patiently, the Holy Spirit will definitely come upon us.

Summary:
The more we sow, the more we will reap. This is true in agriculture as well as in faith. But what are we hoping to reap?
There are 3 types of givers. (1) Grudging, (2) out of necessity, (3) cheerful. Which are we?
