    Colossians | Rooted Community | Pastor Jon Ville Dublan

    This week, we continue to look at this question… What does a healthy church community look like? When people are transformed by the gospel, it also means being rooted and having their lives be centered in Jesus. With so many cultures and mindsets surrounding the church of Colossae, it can be very tempting to just add it on top of following Jesus.  When we follow Jesus, we are transformed. Everything that we say, do, and think is centered in him. When everyone is transformed by Jesus, it calls for everyone to be rooted in Him. We continue to grow, establish, and be fruitful in Him.   Our prayer is for you to grow your love and pursuit of Jesus deeper, and for our English Worship community to be rooted in Him that we all grow in knowing and loving Jesus together. When we have Jesus, we have everything that we need.

    Colossians | Transformed Community | Pastor Eleah Tercero

    The book of Colossians reminds us that God created us for community. While our world is becoming increasingly connected through technology, many people are experiencing deeper loneliness and isolation than ever before. Paul wrote to the church in Colossae—a church he had never visited—to encourage them because they had become known for their faith in Christ and their love for others. Their healthy community wasn't built on personalities or programs, but on the transforming power of the Gospel. As the good news of Jesus took root in their hearts, it produced hope, faith, and a supernatural love that overflowed into the lives of those around them. Paul also reminds us that transformation is God's work in us through Jesus Christ. The Gospel doesn't simply make us better people; it brings us from death to life and empowers us to bear lasting spiritual fruit. Healthy communities encourage one another to grow in wisdom, endurance, joy, and gratitude as they follow Jesus together. As new students and neighbors arrive in our city searching for belonging, we have the opportunity to become the kind of community that welcomes the lonely, points people to Christ, and reflects His love. A transformed community doesn't keep the Gospel to itself—it brings transformation wherever it goes.

    Back to the Basics | Service | Pastor Eleah Tercero

    The spiritual discipline of service is the practice of intentionally putting the needs of others before our own. As the final message in the Back to the Basics series, this sermon reminds us that while practices like prayer, Scripture, worship, Sabbath, and fasting deepen our relationship with God, one of the clearest ways we demonstrate our love for Him is through the way we love and care for others. Looking at Mark 10, Jesus challenges His disciples' desire for power, recognition, and status, teaching instead that true greatness in the Kingdom of God is found in becoming a servant. The heart of service is not seeking influence, admiration, or validation—it is loving others with no strings attached because Christ first loved us. Jesus Himself is our greatest example of humble service. In John 13, although He was Lord of all, He knelt to wash His disciples' feet—even the feet of Judas, who would betray Him. His life and ultimately His death on the cross reveal that service is love in action. Rather than pursuing power, glory, or relevance, followers of Jesus are called to imitate His humility by noticing the needs around them, asking how they can serve, and faithfully loving others in practical ways. As we allow the Holy Spirit to shape our hearts, service becomes more than something we do—it becomes a way of reflecting the love of Christ to our families, churches, and communities. Read:   Mark 10John 13 5 Discussion Questions for Young Adults The sermon describes service as "love in action." How does this definition change the way you think about serving others?Jesus warns against serving for power, recognition, or the need to feel important. Which of these temptations do you relate to most, and why?In John 13, Jesus washed His disciples' feet, including Judas'. What does this teach us about humility, forgiveness, and the kind of people we are called to serve?Who is someone in your life right now that God may be inviting you to serve in a practical and intentional way? What is one step you can take this week?Imagine if our church and community consistently put the needs of others before our own. What impact do you think that would have on the people around us?Support the show 📍 English Worship Jogja |  A place to encounter God, grow in community, and walk in purpose. 🔗 Website: ewjogja.com 📸 Instagram: @ewjogja

    Back to the Basics | Worship | Pastor Jon Ville Dublan

    This week in our Back to the Basics series, we are taking a deep dive at the spiritual discipline of worship by looking at the most important commandment according to Jesus. It is to worship God alone, worship Him with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength; Jesus continues that the second is equally important when we love your neighbor as yourself. Bottomline, we are called to live a life of worship. It is not just something that happens on Sundays, it is not just a genre of music, but it is a lifestyle. Here are the three things that we can learn about worship from this text. Worship is a reminder of the God we follow: We worship because God is faithful. We worship because God is good. The more I see how God has saved me, the more I desire to give everything I have to Him.Worship means giving everything that we have: We worship not just with our voices, but we worship with everything that we have. That includes the things that are in our heart, our desires, our thoughts, and even the things that we have right now. God desires everything of us, and in worship we give everything to Him who is the source of it all.Worship is done in community: When we worship in community, it becomes a reflection of what the Kingdom of God will look like as we worship together in community. God transforms us and breaks down our walls in community and we can freely worship Him.Bottomline, we are able to worship Him because of His grace/what He has done for us, and because of the Holy Spirit. As we live a life of worship, may we continue to be reminded of the God we serve as loving, faithful, and true; and we can be confident that we can give everything back to Him. Read:   Acts 2:42-48Mark 12:28-31 5 Discussion Questions for Young Adults The sermon mentioned some misconceptions about worship. What are some of the things that comes to your mind when you hear the word “Worship”?Take some time to reflect on this question, share a time when you have experienced God’s goodness and faithfulness in your life.“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.” Which one of these do you think is the easiest for you to worship God with? Which one is the most challenging?Worship done in community also transforms us, how have you seen your prayer and worship life grow as you worship in community? What does it look like for you this week to live a life of worship to God? What are some steps that you are taking to remember and live a life as a living sacrifice to God?Support the show 📍 English Worship Jogja |  A place to encounter God, grow in community, and walk in purpose. 🔗 Website: ewjogja.com 📸 Instagram: @ewjogja

    Back to the Basics | Prayer | Pastor Eleah Tercero

    In this week's Back to the Basics series, we explored the spiritual discipline of prayer by looking at the example of the early church in Acts 2 and the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 6. Prayer is not about impressing God or others with long, eloquent words, but about cultivating a genuine relationship with our Heavenly Father. Throughout Scripture, we see people approaching God with honesty, gratitude, sorrow, praise, and hope, reminding us that prayer is simply communication with our Creator. Jesus modeled a life of intentional prayer, regularly withdrawing into solitude to spend time with the Father, inviting us to do the same. Prayer has two primary purposes: connection and transformation. As we spend time with God in private, He not only draws us closer to Himself but also reveals the places in our hearts that need healing, growth, and surrender. At the same time, prayer was never meant to be only a private practice. The early church devoted themselves to praying together, bearing one another's burdens, and seeking God's will as a community. Whether through adoration, confession, thanksgiving, or supplication, prayer shapes us individually and collectively into people who reflect the heart of Christ. The invitation for each of us is simple: make space to honestly connect with God and listen for how He is calling you to be transformed. Read:   Acts 2:42-48Matthew 6:5-13 5 Discussion Questions for Young Adults The sermon described prayer as being about connection and transformation, rather than simply presenting requests to God. How does that perspective challenge or encourage the way you currently pray?Jesus often withdrew to spend time alone with the Father. What are some of the biggest obstacles that keep you from creating space for private prayer, and what is one practical step you could take this week to overcome them?Throughout Scripture, people prayed in many different ways—through praise, lament, thanksgiving, confession, and honest conversation. Which of these expressions of prayer feels most natural to you, and which one do you find the most difficult? Why?The early church devoted themselves to praying together and carrying one another's burdens. How have you experienced the impact of praying with other believers, and how can our community become more intentional about supporting one another through prayer?The sermon ended with two questions: "What do you need to say to God today?" and "What is God saying to you today?" Take a few moments to reflect on both. What comes to mind, and how might you respond to what God is inviting you into this week?Support the show 📍 English Worship Jogja |  A place to encounter God, grow in community, and walk in purpose. 🔗 Website: ewjogja.com 📸 Instagram: @ewjogja

    Back to the Basics | Fasting | Pastor Eleah Tercero

    In this week's Back to the Basics series, we explored the biblical practice of fasting and what it means for followers of Jesus today. While many people associate fasting with religious obligation, self-discipline, or earning God's favor, Scripture presents it as something entirely different. Fasting is not a way to manipulate God or prove our spirituality—it is a grace-filled invitation to draw near to Him. Throughout the Bible, we see God's people fasting in response to His presence, and Jesus not only modeled fasting Himself but also assumed His followers would practice it. Because of Christ, we no longer fast to earn forgiveness, holiness, or God's approval. Instead, we fast from a place of already being deeply loved and accepted by our Heavenly Father. We also discovered that biblical fasting specifically means abstaining from food, allowing our physical hunger to remind us of our deeper hunger for God's presence. Fasting exposes the places where we seek comfort, control, or satisfaction apart from Him, inviting the Holy Spirit to transform our hearts with compassion and grace. Though fasting can be disruptive and uncomfortable, it creates intentional space to pray, worship, and simply be with God. Ultimately, fasting is a declaration of faith that Jesus is our true sustainer and that nothing satisfies like His presence. As we practice this discipline, we are responding to the God who has already come near to us through Christ and who lovingly invites us to experience a deeper relationship with Him. Read:   Matthew 4:1-2Matthew 6:16-18Isaiah 58:1-12 5 Discussion Questions for Young Adults Before this message, what was your understanding of fasting? How did today's teaching challenge or reshape your perspective on why followers of Jesus fast?The sermon says that fasting is not about earning God's favor but responding to His love. Why is this distinction so important, and how does it change the way we approach spiritual disciplines like prayer, Bible reading, and worship?Fasting often reveals the things we rely on for comfort, security, or satisfaction. What are some things you tend to turn to instead of God when you're stressed, anxious, or discouraged? What might God be inviting you to surrender?The message described fasting as creating intentional space to draw close to God. What are some practical ways you could use that time to seek Him if you chose to fast this week?Jesus invites us to come close to Him because we are already loved and accepted by the Father. What is one step you can take this week—whether through fasting or another spiritual practice—to deepen your relationship with God and make room for His presence in your daily life?Support the show 📍 English Worship Jogja |  A place to encounter God, grow in community, and walk in purpose. 🔗 Website: ewjogja.com 📸 Instagram: @ewjogja

    Back to the Basics | Simplicity | Pastor Jon Ville Dublan

    In today’s message, we will be looking at the spiritual discipline of simplicity. When you look at the early church in Acts 2:42-47, verse 44-45 talks about them meeting together in one place sharing everything together, selling their possessions and helping anyone who is in need.  Simplicity is the reorientation or changing our perspective from a life that is so noisy and cluttered, to a life centered in Jesus and His truth. It teaches us to reorient our lives to the most important thing in our lives: our journey in knowing and loving Jesus.

    Back to the Basics | Scripture | Pastor David Junior Noakes

    In this message from the “Back to the Basics” series, we explore why Scripture is an essential part of following Jesus and how God’s Word shapes us into His disciples. Through the story of a younger brother who wanted to become like his older brother, we discover that we become like those we spend time with. The early church in Acts devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, which was deeply rooted in Scripture and pointed people toward Jesus. We learn that Jesus viewed God’s Word as a source of life, truth, and transformation. Reading the Bible is not only about gaining knowledge but about hearing and obeying God’s voice, allowing His Word to change our character and make us more like Jesus. As followers of Christ, we are invited to build a daily rhythm of engaging with Scripture and ask how God is using His Word to shape who we are becoming. The central truth is simple: God’s Word transforms us, so we can become more like Jesus. Read:   Acts 2:42-47Matthew 4:4James 1:22-25 5 Discussion Questions for Young Adults The sermon says, “We become like who we hang out with.” Who or what influences you the most right now, and how has that shaped the person you are becoming?The early church was devoted to the apostles’ teaching. Why do you think Scripture was such an important foundation for the first followers of Jesus?The sermon describes God’s Word as a source of life, truth, and transformation. Which of these do you need most in your life right now, and why?James says we should not only listen to the Word but also do what it says. What is one area where you know God may be inviting you to move from simply knowing His Word to living it out?The sermon asks us to consider our devotion to Scripture.
