“What should we expect when we follow Jesus? A smooth sailing? No. Jesus does not guarantee that. What Jesus guarantees is that you will safe get to the other side of the grave and along the way, through every storm and tribulation, you will see His glory. Let us not be afraid. Let us trust in the Lord. Let us look at our adversities and challenges as God’s opportunities to show His glory.” - Rev. James Lee

In anticipation of the upcoming all church retreat, another article from our guest speaker Dr. Carl Trueman.
In this article, he warns the church against ascribing too much hope and faith on various “messiahs” that come our way. May Hope Chapel become a church who look to Christ the Messiah the only one who can truly deliver us from sin and bring peace and justice to this fallen world in which we live.
