Here ya go, ladies and gentlemen, Mr Tan Chu Kwang (is that right?) =D
[pause for applause] (hey that rhymes. haha.)
So, for this week's message:
WHEAT....and..
WEED.Tricky pronunciation there.
And here're some bits and pieces of the sermon:
Parable of the Weeds! (Matt 13:24-30)
God's kingdom.. It's like a field (the world) planted with good seed (us - to bear fruit).
But you see right, this slinky shadow (Satan) came and sowed weed (sons of the Evil One) among the wheat.
Tapi, masalahnya, if you pull out the weeds, you'll prolly uproot the wheat at the same time.
So God's allowing both wheat AND weed to grow together.
And we should be careful & be aware, cuz the only way to differentiate wheat and weed is to be grounded in God's word.
There're weeds in the midst of us.
But when the time comes, we'll be rewarded for bearing good fruit.
Then there's the flip side.
Many will come to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' - Matt 7:22-23
So imagine that, the Father who brought you up, saying "I don't know you" just cuz of something we did. It's devastating.
If you don't abide in Jesus (bear fruit), you'll be taken out & burned.
We're saved so that we can produce good fruit.
However. There is hope for the weeds.
God gave us a choice!
And so He did, and many fireBRANDS went up to be prayed for.
Another few songs from Nehemiah and the worship team, with God as the only audience.
God sure used James in an outstanding way that night. Undoubtedly. Really well done =)
Wheat and weed.
