So what did Faith share about?

Self Control. 

So what is self control?

- Control of one's feelings over desire by your own will.

Example : controlling the amount of time you spend staring at your computer screen (facebook)

- Control of one's external reaction or feeling

Example 1 : Joseph (Genesis 39 : 7-10)

and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!”

 ⁸ But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. ⁹ No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” ¹⁰ And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her.

                                Example 2 : Jesus (Luke 4 : 4)

Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone.' 

So, how to have self control?

1. Get yourself nearer to God

Close relationship with Him will help you to know what God wants for you in your life and what is good and bad for you.

2. Planning

Plan to avoid from all temptations, learn how to reject Satan's temptation.

3. Moderation 

Learn how to balance your schedule, learn to manage your time with discipline and self control.

Consequences from not having any self control.

- Adam & Eve.

Because of their lack of self control, they ate the apple. And what happened after that? :)

- Esau.

Because of his lack of self control, he had lost his birthright.

Conclusion :   Obey His commandments to build the right foundation and    prevent from falling into sin again.  

                                             


Next, its none other than Isaac Huang,

Sharing about Faith :)

(awwwwww)

No but seriously, he was sharing about Faith

So what is faith?

- Confidence or trust on a person/thing.

- belief not based on proof.

It is through faith, we do crazy stuff for Him . Good stuff, of course.

It its through faith, we believe in miracles in the midst of darkness.

It is through faith, we overcome our greatest fear in life.

Hebrews 11 : 11. By faith Abraham, even though he was past age--and Sarah herself was barren--was enabled to become a father because he considered him faithful who had made the promise

Faith is being sure of what we hope but cannot see, it is believing something you have that isnt there.

Therefore, remember that faith as small as a mustard seed can go a long waaaaayyyyyyyy!
