Within 2 hours.

This is what happened.

So we began at 7:30p.m. on the 7th of the 11th with:

A time of praise and worship led by pretty-much-veteran Joyce Lim.

And it doesn't matter where you stand during worship..

..cuz it's where your heart is that matters.

Now then, announcements by the one-and-only:

CHAN MING YEN! *crowd cheers*

And a reminder: Change Your World concert - Penang is coming up on the 22nd, so if you haven't gotten your tickets yet, they're still available from any of the committee members =) RM 20 per ticket.

Oh and YOUTH CAMP IS COMING!! sign up, the earlier the better, so tidak begitu membebankan on the organising committee.

Let's move on..

Get your notebooks out for..

Mr Alex Low Peng Huat!

But before that, rewind a bit...

..as Alex gets his own notebook out..

..patience..

and there ya go!

So that night, Alex titled his message as 'FROM EARTH IN2 ETERNITY'.

It was a four-point sermon:

1. Knowing Our Identity

- who we are in Christ

- that salvation is free

- we're righteous through Him

- and we need our sin to be forgiven
- "For it is by grace you have been saved. Through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." - Eph. 2:8
- ask for His grace everyday

2. The Truth

- I am coming soon!

- ...blessed are those who wash their robes... outside are the dogs (from Rev 22:12-15)
*dogs: those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters, falsehood-ers
- check your heart 24/7

He shares.

They listen.

And Pastor Victor comes up to clarify a few points..

3. Then, why do we still struggle?

- "Each one is tempted by his own evil desire... after desire has conceived, it gives irth to sin... full-grown sin gives birth to death." - James 1:14-15

- "Where your treasure is there your heart will be." - Matt 6:21

4. So what can I do?

- BE CAREFUL. God is faithful: He will provde a way out so that you can stand up under it. (from 1 Cor 10:12-13)

- cut off the things that cause you to fall

- it takes 21 times to make or break a habit

And so Alex ended his sermon with all the fireBRANDS reading a few excerpts from Psalm 145.

And Pastor Victor had the last say.
