Sunday Service Today

I went to HKBP Balige for Sunday Service today. I didn't remember when was the first time I attended this church, because in the early times I came to Laguboti, I used to go to GBI Gasaribu for Sunday Service. But now, I always go to HKBP Balige.

What make me always come to HKBP Balige are:

• Because it is HKBP, the church where I was baptized. It doesn't matter for me to go to another church actually, but I just feel comfortable to go to HKBP.


• It still uses Batak language as the primary language, so I can learn it too (but my learning curve is so leveled out).


• HKBP Balige is located in a city (but don't image it like Depok or any other big Cities!) where almost all facilities are available there (ATM machine, Chinese Food Restaurant, etc).


• Songs in Buku Ende are great songs, most of them are adapted from Germany Worship songs.

Sermon today is taken from Mark 16:15-16, it's chosen because today is the commemoration of Marturia year. Marturia is a year of Zending for HKBP (MIIW).

Started from the first week I went to HKBP Balige in this year, I recorded every sermon I heard and I'll uploaded in my blog. For this time, I upload only this day's sermon which you can download it from link below.
