Jesus could return perhaps today, yet we don't often think about how that would change the way we live. Perhaps we feel overwhelmed at the thought of it, or it just doesn't feel as pressing as our ๐Ÿ’ผ work deadlines.

Yet when we're faced with a serious illness, or someone we know passes away, then thoughts like "we should've made better use of our time" surface. โŒ›๏ธ ๐—•๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ต๐˜† ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐˜‚๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—น ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป?

โ˜• Much like the versatile and multi-faceted nature of a cup of Kopi (coffee), God meets us differently in every season.

Need an assuring pick-me-up? He's got plenty of energy to share (ref. Isaiah 40:29).

Or, maybe, you're simply in need of a comforting presence whom you can trust. He is the God of all comfort (ref. 2 Corinthians 1:3).

What ๐Ÿฅค beverage (not limited to Kopi) best describes who God is to you this season? ๐Ÿ’ฌ Comment down below and explain briefly why!

A life dedicated to missions isn't something most people envision for themselves. We may even assume that it's ๐จ๐ง๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฌ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ซ๐ž๐œ๐ž๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐œ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐Ÿ“ž.

However, the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) exhorts followers of Christ to make disciples. We don't have to go far ๐Ÿ›ซ to bear the good news. We can reach out to our neighbours, co-workers, or family members. ๐— ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ.

And sharing the good news isn't only through speaking it. It's through the way we live in response to God's abounding love and grace.
