Last sermon on prayer from the church

Our pastor was doing a series on prayer on the regular Sunday service and this weekend was the end of it. It wasn’t particularly exciting – we all know about the “theory” on prayers – do it regularly, it’s a conversation between God and us, God loves it, it’s spiritual…. – what more do we [...]

A father’s love

I wasn’t at the service today but my husband brought back a synopsis of the message – God’s unfailing love.  The pastor used a very touching story and You Tube video to illustrate it – Team Hoyt – a father and son’s journey through miles started with his son’s “Dad, when I’m running, it feels [...]

The day after meeting the resurrected Lord

Today’s sermon is about life after having met the resurrected Lord, based on John 21.  The disciples met with the resurrected Lord, but straight after this awesome event they went out to the sea.  They are back in their day job.  After an awesome encounter.  Sounds strange to you?  Well, I have not given it much [...]

Obedience

We had a guest preacher today at church and his message was on obedience, drawing from verses in 1 Chronicles 14.  Here are the points I took home and would like to share with all: Knowing our position and purpose in God’s kingdom (verse 2) – David knew that God has establish him king over [...]

Presence of the Lord

Yesterday’s Bible study was on Jesus, His divinity as well as his humanity.  One of my favourite scenes in the gospels, Jesus’ prayer in the garden of Gethsamene, was again mentioned.  On earth, Jesus has given up his power and status as God, he is no longer all-present, all-knowing and all-able; but yet he was [...]

One step at a time

The sermon at church today is about obedience to God’s words.  It was on the last bits of Matthew, the great commission.  What we have been commissioned to do, as Christians, is to make disciples of all nations.  But first, we have to be a disciple ourselves, before we can go out and lead others [...]

Why the joy?

I have written much about a downcast soul of late.  Girlfriends in God’s recent devotion talks about joy and laughter, the best medicine.  It is not just another saying from the medical profession, but it is backed up by Bible verses!  A happy heart is like good medicine, but a broken spirit drains your strength.

我很特殊

One of the sisters at church introduced us to this song at the service today.  I like the lyrics and thought of sharing it here. Enjoy.

If (only) I have faith and do not doubt…

The pastor at our church told us that when he prepares his message, he follows the leading of the Holy Spirit.  God often tells him what he needs to preach on the day.  I marvel at that, constantly hearing God’s words and walking in His path.  Today I had the luxury of being indulged in [...]

Heart of stone

I don’t really have much to write on this Sunday’s sermon, because I didn’t quite give it my full attention.  It’s because I have heard this sermon before, so I know it all and there isn’t quite anything new in there to pay attention to.  The sermon was on “Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of [...]
