    Ask the Pastor | How Can I Have a Healthy Spiritual Life? | Pastor Eleah Tercero, Pastor Jon Ville Dublan, Pastor Eunike Dawan

    A healthy spiritual life begins with learning to resist temptation and stand firm in God's truth. James 4:7 reminds us to submit ourselves to God and resist the devil, while Jesus' example in Matthew 4:1–11 shows us how to respond to temptation with the Word of God. We face pressures from friendships, relationships, insecurities, and the desire to fit in. These challenges can tempt us to compromise our convictions, but we don't have to face them in our own strength. God invites us to depend on Him and the Holy Spirit for wisdom, forgiveness, and freedom. Spiritual health also requires action. Philippians 4:8–9 encourages us to focus on what is true, pure, and good, and to put God's Word into practice. Through Scripture, prayer, worship, and everyday obedience, we learn to replace the enemy's lies with God's truth and live out our faith in practical ways. In John 15:1–17, Jesus describes Himself as the vine and His followers as the branches, teaching us that we must remain connected to Him to bear spiritual fruit. Abiding in Jesus means more than completing a daily devotional; it means cultivating an ongoing relationship with Him through prayer, Scripture, worship, faith, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As we remain connected to Christ, His character becomes more evident in our lives through love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and self-control. Our relationship with Jesus also shapes how we treat others, calling us to love one another, practice forgiveness, and respond to conflict with humility. Ultimately, a healthy spiritual life isn't about being perfect or relying on our own discipline. It is about continually returning to Jesus, trusting the Holy Spirit to guide us, and making space for God to transform us from the inside out. Read: John 15:1-17 Small Group Discussion Questions 1.

    Jonah | An Unexpected Conclusion | Pastor Jon Ville Dublan

    God’s mercy is beyond measure. In the final chapter of Jonah, the story ends with a question. Do we really know the extent of God’s mercy? Spoiler: It’s beyond our own understanding. While Jonah is angry with the outcome of a powerful repentance moment. God checks Jonah’s heart as to what is really happening here. A perspective change needs to happen, to focus more on what God is doing rather than our own comfort. The story of Jonah is meant to be a mirror to ask ourselves as readers. Are we okay with God’s unmeasurable mercy? God extends mercy to us, but also to the people who have wronged us. That is why God’s mercy is so great.   Support the show 📍 English Worship Jogja |  A place to encounter God, grow in community, and walk in purpose. 🔗 Website: ewjogja.com 📸 Instagram: @ewjogja

    Jonah | An Unexpected Repentance | Pastor Eleah Tercero

    Have you ever been in a season where you just wanted God to get you OUT? Jonah reminds us that sometimes the place we want to escape from is actually the place where God is trying to get our attention, grow us, and bring us closer to Him. The fish wasn’t the end of Jonah’s story—it was where God met him, and where Jonah learned to pray, surrender, and trust again. 🐋 And honestly, we all need people around us in those seasons. People who will pray with us, remind us that God hasn’t forgotten us, and walk with us when life feels messy. You don’t have to have everything figured out, and your past doesn’t disqualify you from what God wants to do in your life. God is still working, even when we can’t see it. And He’s still the God of second chances. 🤍 Support the show 📍 English Worship Jogja |  A place to encounter God, grow in community, and walk in purpose. 🔗 Website: ewjogja.com 📸 Instagram: @ewjogja

    Jonah | An Unexpected Salvation | Pastor Eleah Tercero

    Jonah 2 reminds us that sometimes the places we desperately want God to get us out of can become the very places He uses to draw us closer to Him. Jonah’s time inside the fish looked like punishment, but it was actually God’s provision and protection. In the middle of his darkest and most uncomfortable moment, Jonah stopped running and started praying. His prayer marked a turning point from self-reliance to surrender as he recognized, “Salvation comes from the Lord.” Like Jonah, we can sometimes mistake pain for punishment or problems for God’s absence, when God may actually be using those moments to shape our character, deepen our dependence, and remind us that we were never meant to be in control of everything. The belly of the fish wasn’t a good place to live, but it became a place where Jonah learned to trust God. Jonah also teaches us that faith doesn’t always wait for circumstances to change before it praises. Jonah worshiped while he was still inside the fish—before the miracle happened and before he knew exactly how God would answer. His story reminds us that while we are waiting, God is still working. Prayer can turn us around, praise can carry us through, and surrender can prepare us for what God wants to do next. When Jonah was finally released, he still carried the residue of where he had been, but that residue became part of his testimony rather than a reason to cancel his calling. God gave Jonah a second chance, and He does the same for us. We don’t have to be perfect or have everything figured out before God can use us. Sometimes the messiest parts of our story become the very places where we discover God’s mercy, experience His salvation, and become witnesses of what He has done. Read:   Jonah 2 Discussion Questions Have you ever been in a season that felt like a “belly of the fish” moment? Looking back, can you see any ways God was working in that season?What is something in your life right now that you’re trying to control? What might surrendering that situation to God actually look like?Jonah stopped running and started praying. When you’re struggling, is your natural response to run, control, distract yourself, or pray? Why do you think you respond that way?What does it look like to praise God before you see the breakthrough? Is there something you can choose to praise God for while you’re still waiting?Jonah still had “residue” from his past when God called him again. Is there a part of your story that you’ve been tempted to disqualify yourself because of? How might God use even that part of your story as a testimony?Support the show 📍 English Worship Jogja |  A place to encounter God, grow in community, and walk in purpose. 🔗 Website: ewjogja.com 📸 Instagram: @ewjogja

    Jonah | An Unexpected Mercy | Pastor Eleah Tercero

    Jonah 1  reminds us that following God is not always about whether we know what He is asking us to do, but whether we are willing to obey when His plans don’t match our own. Jonah ran from God because he knew God was merciful, and he did not want that mercy extended to the people of Nineveh. Like Jonah, we can create our own picture of what our lives should look like—our careers, relationships, dreams, comfort, and future—and resist God when His direction challenges that picture. But when we choose our own version of the “good life” over God’s plan, we may actually be running away from the life God is inviting us into. Jonah’s story also shows us that our disobedience is never as private as we think. Jonah’s decision to run created a storm that affected everyone around him, while the pagan sailors showed more awareness of God than the prophet himself. Yet even in Jonah’s rebellion, God pursued him with mercy. The storm, the sea, and even the great fish became instruments God used to wake Jonah up and bring him back to Himself. Jonah reminds us that we can become spiritually numb, comfortable in compromise, or distracted from what God is doing—but we cannot outrun God’s mercy. Sometimes God’s mercy looks like interruption or confrontation because He loves us too much to leave us asleep. The invitation is simple: stop running, surrender our plans, and allow God to wake us up to the story He is writing. Read:   Jonah 1 Discussion Questions What are some areas of life where people commonly create their own picture of the “good life”? Where might your picture differ from God’s?Jonah knew what God wanted but chose to run anyway. Have you ever found yourself rationalizing something you knew God was asking you to surrender or change?Jonah’s choices affected people around him. How can our spiritual apathy, compromises, or disobedience impact our friends, family, church community, or relationships?Jonah was spiritually asleep while the sailors were spiritually awake. What are some signs that someone might be becoming spiritually numb or disengaged from God?“You can run from God, but you cannot outrun His mercy.” What might it look like for you to stop running and respond to God in obedience 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

    Colossians | Christ-Centered Community | Pastor Jon Ville Dublan

    A healthy church is first and foremost centered in Jesus Christ. In Colossians 1:15-20, Paul goes all out on who Jesus is, His supremacy over creation, His lordship over the church, and His work in redeeming His creation. Everything is redeemed through Jesus and His church. From this passage that we are going to be looking at, we start to see that everything is created through and for Jesus. Which means that everything that we have is centered and sourced from Him. Apart from Him, there is no healthy community. There is no healthy church.  A healthy community carries, perseveres, and represents Jesus through prayer. Read:   Colossians 1:15-20John 17 Five Discussion Questions What does it look like for a church or small group to become a truly praying community rather than simply a community that occasionally prays?Who is someone God may be calling you to “carry” before Him in prayer right now? What makes it difficult or easy to pray for others?Have you ever experienced someone else’s prayers strengthening or carrying you through a difficult season? What did that experience teach you about community?What does it mean to persevere in prayer when we don’t see an immediate answer? How can we encourage one another not to give up?How should our prayer life affect the way we live, speak, serve, and relate to people outside the church?

    Colossians | Praying Community | Pastor Eleah Tercero

    A healthy church is a praying church. In Colossians 4:2–6, Paul encourages the church to devote themselves to prayer, remain watchful and thankful, and pray for one another. Prayer is not only an individual spiritual discipline—it is something a healthy community practices together. When we pray for one another, we reflect Christ, share one another’s burdens, build unity, and strengthen our faith as we see God work. Like the Roman centurion who approached Jesus on behalf of his servant and the friends who carried the paralyzed man to Jesus, we are called to carry others before God through intercession.  A healthy praying community also perseveres together and lives out what it prays. Prayer requires devotion, effort, and persistence—we continue praying even when answers do not come immediately, refusing to give up on God or on one another. Epaphras models this kind of faithful, diligent prayer because his care for the church fueled his commitment to intercede for them. But prayer is not meant to stay inside a prayer meeting; it should shape the way we speak, serve, love, and interact with the world. Ultimately, a healthy community carries, perseveres, and represents Jesus through prayer.

    Colossians | Gracious Community | Pastor Eleah Tercero

    In Colossians 3, Paul shows us that a healthy church is not a perfect community, but a gracious community. Because God has first chosen, loved, forgiven, and shown grace to us, we are called to extend that same grace to others. Paul encourages believers to “clothe” themselves with mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, and above all, love. Grace does not mean ignoring sin or avoiding accountability; rather, it means responding to brokenness through the lens of Jesus. A gracious community makes room for people to be human—to admit when they are struggling, ask for help, make mistakes, and continue growing without fear of rejection. Ultimately, the grace we receive from Jesus is meant to flow through us into our relationships and communities. We are called to choose love over being right, forgiveness over bitterness, humility over pride, and welcoming others rather than expecting them to have everything together. A gracious community is built through small, everyday choices: noticing someone who is lonely, asking how someone is really doing, apologizing, forgiving, refusing to gossip, welcoming newcomers, and making space for people who are different from us. We don't become a gracious community accidentally; we build it one interaction at a time. The challenge is simple: Have you received God's grace, and who is God calling you to show grace to today? Read:   Colossians 3 Small Group Discussion Questions Why do you think receiving grace is often easier than giving grace?What does it look like to balance grace with accountability in our relationships?Can you share about a time when someone showed you grace and how it impacted you?What makes it difficult for people to be honest about their struggles within a community, and how can we create a safer space for people to be human?Who is one person God may be calling you to show grace to this week, and what could that look like practically?Support the show 📍 English Worship Jogja |  A place to encounter God, grow in community, and walk in purpose. 🔗 Website: ewjogja.com 📸 Instagram: @ewjogja
