The day has come.
(Dramatic background music, crescendo)
The day to relieve all of your suspicions and doubts INDEED has come! This Friday, the devotion leaders will finally announce the names of our FIVE DEVOTION GROUPS! Group names are from five great principles in the Bible. Therefore, we will not be named after the five Power Rangers (金剛戰士), nor the original five Sailor Moon (美少女戰士), and most definitely not Five Guys (五個人).Please find the newsletters below, be safe, and see you FRIDAY!

法 利 賽 人 問 : 神 的 國 幾 時 來 到 ? 耶 穌 回 答 說 : 神 的 國 來 到 不 是 眼 所 能 見 的 。 人 也 不 得 說 : 看 哪 , 在 這 裡 ! 看 哪 , 在 那 裡 ! 因 為 神 的 國 就 在 你 們 心 裡 。(路 加 福 音 17:20-21)

Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:20-21)

As you say grace at every meal, write down your prayers, at least 5 of them. (Hint: Use different perspectives to see God and yourself. Expand your views, and from there be creative.) Ask yourself constantly, have my prayers improved?
This week we will witness how the Lord changes and grant new lives through the testimonies of Dr. and Mrs. Li-Yang Yuan, and their son Christopher Yuan.
Questions:
1. Has your life ever been touched by God? Have you ever received guidance from Him?

3. What are you willing to change in your life to become a better tool for God?
