Joshua: The Servant of the LORD

Joshua showed us that to be a great leader, one must first be a good servant. In this message, Ptr. Genesis Tan urges us to follow Joshua’s example of choosing to serve the Lord in humility, courage, and diligence so that we too can be overcomers.

Read Today’s Scripture Passage

Deuteronomy 31:6-23; Joshua 1:1-18; 23:1-16; 24:15; Judges 2:8

Holy Communion

Ptr. Genesis Tan officiates communion this Sunday.
