Message in Brief

In this message based on Exodus 19:4-5, Pastor Ratna Maitra reflects on how God bore the Israelites on eagles' wings and called them to be His special treasure. She connects this Old Testament covenant promise to the New Testament fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Through Christ's sacrifice, believers have been bought back and redeemed by His precious blood, becoming God's treasured possession and chosen generation. Because God has called us by name and covered us with His grace, nothing can separate us from His unconditional love. Believers are encouraged to walk in obedience, faithful stewardship, and devotion to honor God.
