Weekly Sunday Sermon: God Takes Care of His Church

 Hello!

This Sunday is GRII's thirty fifth birthday so is a Combined Service and is about a special theme because of the event and is about how God takes care and watches over the Church.

The first point introduced is God takes care of His Church. The Church is two thousand years old now (since the Pentecost) and God has preserved and is with the Church until the end of the age (Matthew 28:20). Though the Church is persecuted, it continues. The persecutions even continue onto today but God is with the believers. He has promised to take care of the Church.

The second point is about how God takes care of His Church because He wants us to spread the Gospel. One of the The Church's goals is to spread God's Word and evangelize. We also must act well and be the Light of this World, so others may see our new selves.

Since the sermon today is in B.I, I can't understand as well, but that's a summary of the sermon today!

BCN 2025 - Kasihilah Tuhan dan Pimpinan Roh Kudus

 Hello! It's been four months since the last blog. When I started a year ago, one of the first blogs was about BCN 2024. It is the next year already, and now we have BCN 2025. This will be a full summary - last time we did it in 3 parts.  Introduction - What is BCN? BCN, or Bible Camp Nasional (Bible Camp National) is a 3-day 2-night event held by Gereja Reformed Injili Indonesia. While most people who attend are from GRII, everyone can join, though it is limited to grades four to seven. Since it is held in June and after the time students typically graduate from a grade, a "seventh grader" means a sixth grader who had recently graduated, and is now considered a seventh grader, for example. BCN is a summer camp, with its main focus on teaching the Bible to children. Before grade four, most people go to Bible Trip , and after grade seven to  NRETC. BCN has seventeen sessions (sermons), this year over a dozen speakers. The event costs 800,000 rupiahs to enter for  earl...

People like to say "Jesus is coming soon", and it's incorrect: Argument Series #1

 Currently, a lot of people has reacted to the tension between the United States and Iran by saying "The end times are soon". Not only do they say this because of the "war", but also because of technologies such as artificial intelligence and Neuralink. In this post I want to challenge this claim. Of course, we shouldn't even try to say "this is near the end times", this is misleading, none of us know when, and we cannot even say that it is vaguely soon. Nevertheless, I will still bring up other points. I will go one by one for each claim. #1: The Iran-US-Israel controversy conflict is a sign of the End Times Many claim that chapters like Ezekiel 38, which speaks about Israel and surrounding powers at war, point to today's conflict. There are several approaches when it comes to interpreting Biblical verses. One of them is covenant theology, which is the reformed approach in this area. God has an Old Covenant, which is with the nation of Israel, and...

Chapel SKC Grade 7 #1

Wednesday 23 July Chapel, SKC, Grade VII #1 By Roy Pangemanan Introduksi Katekismus Heidelberg/Introduction of Heidelberg Catechism A catechism is like a theological explanation usually in the format of Question and Answer and is oral teaching. There are many catechisms, one of them is the Heidelberg Catechism. Personally, I already heard about the name Heidelberg Cathechism once but never knew anythung about it until this Wednesday. Heidelberg is a city in Germany, but at the time it was in the Holy Roman Empire. (The speaker did not say that at the time it was under the Holy Roman Empire, but I added that, he only said that the government was different). The church had just undergone the Reformation and many wanted to know about the Bible, but still needed some direction or explanation. Thus, Frederick III, that governed the area, who was Reformed (Reformed = Sola Scriptura), who was an "elector", commissioned Zacharias Ursinus and Caspar Olevianus to make a catechism. The ...
