Dear friends and family of Fifth Avenue UMC,
Lenten season is passing very fast. We are already on the Third Sunday of the season. Are we pursuing our spiritual growth intentionally? Are we coming closer to the Lord more than before? I heard many good comments about the “Daily Bible Readings” emails. Wherever you are, I encourage you to do just one thing different from your routine. The Bible says that “The Kingdom of God is taken by force" (Matthew 11:12). It signifies that the Kingdom of Heaven has been subjected to violence and that those who are determined and forceful are actively seeking to enter it, often with a strong, spiritual zeal. I pray and desire you take the Kingdom forcefully and enjoy the pleasure of a more advanced relationship with the Lord.
This week’s theme is about the Living Water as Thirst Quenchers. What are you looking for to quench your thirst? Meditate on that and bring it to the Lord on Sunday.
Grace and joy,
Pastor Hae-Jeong
