Preach the Gospel! If necessary, Use words!

S'il vous plaît attendre pour moi (Please wait for me) while I take a gasp of air. 

Phew. Sorry. I just got back from school. Anyways! Welcome!

Huh? You were expecting an more grand welcome?

WELCOME TO THE FIREBRANDS BLOG! 

Well, back to the story. So Isaac led prayer last Saturday. His prayer points.

 

• Worship Team & Speaker
• Examinations 
• JYR & AYC Organizers (WOO-HOO!)
• Our Muslim friends.

Next, we had Indy Toh. Who led us into ice-breakers!!

What was it?

Well, look at this collage and you'll see!

The aim?

Basically for the people on the outside to tag the people holding the tennis ball using a pair of chopsticks

 

Next, we had Worship :)

Led by Eulene and team.

Eulene : Are you ready to shout your hearts for God??!!

Next, we had Pastor Joseph from North Zone who spoke the word of God.

⁹ For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,^{[a] 10} so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, ¹¹ being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, ¹² and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you^[b] to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. ¹³ For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, ¹⁴ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. 

• The Christian life is like a race
• The Christian life is like a soldier in a war
• We make a choice 
• We fight against evil
• We defend ourselves 

• Most of us are nominal Christians. What is it?

Nominal means. One does not have a trusting & faithful relationship with God

• Paul says we have to live our lives fully for God

As Francis of Sissy said. "Preach the Gospel if necessary. Use words."

• When you are alone in  a place. God is the only person you have.  

•  People are always watching you especially on Social Networks
•  Where we go (Even if it's accidental/for a different reason)
•  What we say.
•  Is your walk with God strong?
• Yes? Good!
• No? Well, you should eat more solid food (The Word of God)

What would good knowledge make you?
- "Smarter!" Benjamin Yeoh
- "Wiser" Sarah Khoo
- "Rich" Isaac Lim
- "No poverty" Isaac Huang

God loves each one of us.
"You, and you and you and even you" Pastor Jo

God's word will lead us into good works

• It will lead us into good things
• He has designed each & everyone of us.

God allows us to go through tough times so we can be stronger. It's all about your walk with God.

What does a fool say?

A fool says that there is no God. 

Romans 6 : 1-2

^1-3So what do we do? Keep on sinning so God can keep on forgiving? I should hope not! If we've left the country where sin is sovereign, how can we still live in our old house there? Or didn't you realize we packed up and left there for good? That is what happened in baptism. When we went under the water, we left the old country of sin behind; when we came up out of the water, we entered into the new country of grace—a new life in a new land!

As human begins. We fall into tempation. But should we fall into sin?

Kingdom - "A place where a King has ultimate power!" Lim Jin Ji

Who is the King in this place?

God!!

Many earthly Kings have tried to destroy the Bible for countless generations. BUT. BUT. BUT. BUT. BUT. BUT. BUT. The Bible remains, but the Kings did not.
