DUMC is the overall champion of the 2011 Interchurch Sports Carnival. It came in last in 2010.
DUMC has given RM50k in aid to Japan. A total of RM 83,641 was collected for Japan.
The text of the sermon is taken from John 4:1-42. I put it at the bottom of the post because of its length.
Pastor Daniel painted a situation where a reject entered a church. Would the church accept him? The more important question is would Jesus accept him.
Jesus’s encounter with the Samaritan woman.
Jews don’t talk to Samaritans. Back in 722 BC, the northern kingdom of Israel was conquered and captured by Assyrians. The Samaritans were half-Jews and half gentiles.
Jesus broke all barriers, He wanted to go to Samaritan regions. He broke all kinds of prejudices. DUMC runs streets ministry because they believe everyone is precious in God’s house.
