Yo yo yo! Whazzzzzzzzaaap!!

Here's what happened on the 16th of June :)

Prayer by Ben :)

Next, we had Tien Kit to lead us in an ice-breaker. 

The aim

Pass the cups around when the music starts. When the music stops,

whoever gets caught will receive a forfeit!

The game organiser nearly getting caught by his own game :P

Tien Kit : "Hurry and take! The song won't stop at you wan"

*Song Stops*

Justin : "Haiyo!! Tien Kit ahh!"

Forfeit!

 Then, we had an awesome time of worship :)

Guess who's the speaker?

Nope, not them. LOL.

But before that. Check out the blog for an upcoming update on the

fireBRANDS Family Night 

So, we had Pastor Cowan to speak for us :)

So what did he speak about? 

Worship

• God promised Abraham that they will have a child! 
• But sometimes, we humans try to act smart and do things on our own.
• Sarah was barren (an fyi)
• When Isaac was born, he in the eyes of Abraham and Sarah is a precious child.

But in Genesis 22, God asked Abraham to sacrifice his one and only son Isaac. Although Abraham was rich, he could not replace Isaac.

Worship = bow down, give honour (in Hebrew)

Question : Are we able to give up what we treasure the most to worship God?

• When we want to serve the Lord, the Devil will take every opportunity to destroy us.
• Most of us will sacrifice ourselves instead of our loved ones

but sometimes

• real worship requires hardship, sacrifice

---

1st Samuel chpt 29

• Great worshiper of God - David (he wrote many Psalms)
• Do know that if we humans try to 'act smart' with god, bad things will happen.

1st Samuel chpt 30

• David and his followers tried to play safe
• ephod - it is a garment for High Priests
• it is used for worshiping God
• When we worship, God will talk to us more
• Can we get strength from God?
• OF COURSE!
• How do we solve problems?
• Do we solve it like how David, Abraham did?

Another example of a worshiper - Job.

Job 1:20

Sometimes when we go through problems, we go all out to scold others who trespass us and even scold God. But we don't realize how much God has blessed us! 

We cannot always stay in SquareOne, we have to learn to move forward.

Matthew 26:36

Gethsemane

³⁶ Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

What is the greatest worship?

That we put God first.

Are we able to let go of everything and worship God?

Challenge: Give your life to God fully!!

And that, concludes Saturday Night Service @ fireBRANDS! Join us this Saturday for an awesome night! :)
