Have you ever felt overwhelmed? The kind of overwhelmness when several things happen to you that are beyond your control and think to yourself, “this is definitely too much for me to handle.” It’s in these moments when our thoughts or feelings burden our minds and as much as we think we’re strong enough to […]

Last Sunday was our very first service for 2019 and we were given a very important reminder. Pastor Joven preached about the life of Zacchaeus (Luke 19), a rich tax collector who cheated people and stole their money for his own; in the eyes of God and those around him, he was living a sin […]
Over the past six Fridays, I’ve tasted six different kinds of pansit (noodles) for dinner at our North York Centre. I’ve also seen members of our East congregation more frequently and more importantly, gained a new view on serving Christ.
