Paradigm for Transformation of Society
Commandment No. 1 - No other gods
Senior Pastor Dr Daniel Ho
LA is built on the St. Anders fork. It is built on an area prone to earthquakes. On 17 Jan 1994, an earthquake of 6.7 on the Richter scale shook LA for 20 seconds. 72 died and USD 20 million was spent to fix the damages. Why would the Americans build tall buildings in an earthquake zone? The tall buildings go deep into the foundations. That’s why LA is still standing. When the foundation is strong and solid, the city is able to withstand the stress and pressures.
What foundations do we build our lives on? What about our community and our nation? When a community and a nation is built on the wrong foundations it is headed for doom. Communism is built on a foundation based on human ability without God. It cannot stand the test of time. The communist leaders know it (the idealism) cannot stand on its own.

The Call of DUMC – Transformation of Society
The Call of DUMC - Transformation of Society
Senior Pastor Dr Daniel Ho

William Wilberforce with his friends fought to eliminate slavery in the Great Britain. John Wesley wrote to Wilberforce a few days before he passed away to encourage him in his efforts.
Here's the content of the letter:
Dear Sir:
Unless the divine power has raised you us to be as Athanasius contra mundum, [2] I see not howyou can go through your glorious enterprise in opposing that execrable villainy which is the scandal of religion, of England, and of human nature. Unless God has raised you up for this very thing, you will be worn out by the opposition of men and devils. But if God be fore you, who can be against you? Are all of them together stronger than God? O be not weary of well doing! Go on, in the name of God and in the power of his might, till even American slavery (the vilest that ever saw the sun) shall vanish away before it.

Evangelism in the Local Church
Evangelism in the Local Church
Pastor Daniel Ho, DUMC, 31/01/2010
Mat 28:18-20 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. (19) Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (20) teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
We are in the greatest rescue mission on earth. We long to see the realization of the Lord’s Prayer. We are to draw men, women and children to the faith of God.
What is evangelism?

Doing greater work
Doing Greater Things
Rev Irwin Rutherford, 24/01/2010
John 14 is the great statement to us that we can do greater works. Transformation of society is part of the greater works we can do. Jesus impressed us by his humanity. He emphasized his humanity, He understood the pressure and struggles a man faces. He also demonstrated His divinity that by His name we could do greater things. He pointed out the tension of the Kingdom of God that we experience – the now and to come.
Paul said to live is Christ to die is to gain. It’s the tension of hoping the Kingdom to come now, especially when we are in adverse situations. We want to get out of our situation to a better place. We face so much difficulty in the here and now that we want to be in the room of the Father now.
There are four principles of doing greater works. John 21 gave testimony of the great work Jesus did in three years. How could we do greater works?
