I used to attend church out of piety and friendship, practicing nominal Christianity without truly understanding the gospel. My perspective changed during my internship when I listened to John MacArthur's sermons, which convicted me of my depravity and unworthiness before God, leading me to understand the true meaning of following Christ as His disciple. Since coming to CERC, I've realised that the church is more than just an organisation or community club, but the very manifestation of God's saving work, which has changed my perspective from expecting the church to serve me to understanding how I must serve the church. Now, I am committed to utilising all aspects of my life in serving physically, mentally, and financially to support CERC in the growth of Jesus' church, while also allowing the church to expose and kill my sins, shaping me to be a true worshipper of God.
