In Ephesians 2:18-22, we delve into a profound passage that speaks of the unifying work of Christ and the spiritual temple He is building. Through Christ, both Jews and Gentiles have access to the Father in one Spirit.

The Wuhan Earthquake Monitoring Center in China was recently targeted by a cyber-attack reportedly carried out by a hacker group with an "overseas government background." Preliminary evidence indicates the attack originated from the US, further escalating tensions between the two nations. In related news, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) has raised concerns about potential risks posed by Chinese-made AI-enabled products and advocates for their regulation.

Join us as we explore the powerful words of Romans 12:2-8. In this inspiring passage, we are reminded not to conform to the patterns of this world but rather to be transformed by renewing our minds. Through this transformation, we can discern and align ourselves with God's perfect and acceptable will. The gifts of grace are bestowed upon each of us, and as members of one body in Christ, we are called to use these gifts with humility and discernment. Whether it be the gift of prophecy, service, teaching, exhortation, contribution, leadership, or acts of mercy, each gift is vital in building a strong and united community of believers. In this video, we dive into the depth of God's grace and how it empowers us to live purposeful lives. Let us embrace this divine transformation and use our unique gifts to shine the light of Christ in the world. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Gifts of Grace: For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
