It&#8217;s far deeper and more fulfilling. Serving the Lord of heaven and earth, the majestic King of kings and Lord of lords, is at the core of my purpose. We&#8217;re all intricately connected to Him, created by His hands, breathing life because of Him, and nurtured under His loving care to ultimately bring glory to His name.<\/p><p>Life is not about the storms we face but about finding peace and purpose during those storms. And what better purpose is there than to be a beacon of God&#8217;s love in this world? The church, established through the message of Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, is the vessel for this mission. It&#8217;s here to spread love, offer salvation from sin, and guide people into a life of peace, leading them to eternal life with God the Father.<\/p><p>In this mission, we&#8217;re all called to be workers for God, not to rule over others but to serve. It&#8217;s about building a community of believers, rooted in love and holiness, to be a light in the darkness. As the scripture says, <i>&#8220;You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden&#8221; (Matthew 5:14)<\/i>. This is our call\u2014to shine brightly with the love and truth of God.<\/p><p>For me, becoming a vessel fit for the Master&#8217;s use is my life&#8217;s ambition. This means striving for holiness, for <i>&#8220;without holiness, no one will see the Lord&#8221; (Hebrews 12:14)<\/i>. It&#8217;s about understanding that we&#8217;re all precious in God&#8217;s eyes, even those who feel lost or unworthy. God&#8217;s grace is sufficient to transform us into vessels of glory, as we pursue holiness and move away from disgrace.<\/p><p>Humility is another cornerstone of this journey. It&#8217;s recognizing that all wisdom, power, and glory belong to God. I&#8217;ve learned to walk in humility, loving God&#8217;s word, and letting it guide my every step. As Paul said, <i>&#8220;Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment&#8221; (Romans 12:3)<\/i>.<\/p><p>Lastly, surrendering to God has been the most transformative aspect of my life. Just like the potter molds the clay, I&#8217;ve learned to trust God&#8217;s process, allowing Him to shape me into a vessel fit for His purpose. This surrender has opened doors to serve in ways I never imagined, making my life a testament to His grace and mercy.<\/p><p>As I look forward to the days ahead, my heart&#8217;s desire is to echo Isaiah&#8217;s words, <i>&#8220;Here I am, send me!&#8221; (Isaiah 6:8). <\/i>It&#8217;s about joining hands with fellow believers, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to accomplish the divine mission of bringing salvation to every corner of the earth. Together, let&#8217;s embrace this journey, becoming vessels that God can use to fulfill His glorious purpose on earth. May the true God establish the work of our hands, as we serve Him with all our hearts.<\/p><p>We warmly invite you to come to the True Jesus Church\u2019s bi-annual Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation.\u00a0 See details below.<\/p><p>18-21 April, 2024 Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation<\/p><p>Thursday, 18 April, 2024 6:50PM to 8:10PM<br \/>Friday and Saturday, 19-20 April, 2024 9:00AM to 8:10PM<br \/>Sunday, 21 April, 2024 9:00AM to 1:00PM<br \/>Complimentary lunch and dinner will be served.<\/p><p>Please find our church location below:<\/p><p><b>4N550 Church Road<br \/><\/b><b>Bensenville,\u00a0<abbr title=\"Illinois\">IL<\/abbr>\u00a060106<br \/><\/b><i aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/True+Jesus+Church+Chicago\/@41.945266,-87.9536702,18.39z\/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x880fb39f5fbd433d:0x72d82c41e185bf3e!2s4+S+Church+Rd,+Bensenville,+IL+60106!3b1!8m2!3d41.9448745!4d-87.9534209!3m5!1s0x880fb3a1e4e2dd49:0xd44299b704de1192!8m2!3d41.9453743!4d-87.9533863!16s%2Fg%2F1tdn02z1?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>\u00a0Google Maps<\/b><\/a><\/p><p>For online streaming, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/service\/live-sabbath-service\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p><p>For regular service hours, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/\">click here<\/a>.<b><\/b><\/p><p>Email us at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org\">ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Embracing a Life of Service and Holiness: My Journey and Purpose In my journey through life, I&#8217;ve come to understand that my goal isn&#8217;t just about achieving personal success or reaching a certain status.
