Chinese Sermon Note
Pastor Mark
The most important thing in our lives is not external material, but is our mood
Once our hearts are guarded, and our hearts are beautiful, our externals also beautiful
A lot of diseases happen because of inside when people are troubled.
People are often disturbed and troubled by a lot of things in the past.
Good environment may not be always around, but our Jesus is always around
Today i want to share with you 3 points
- Let go and you can rest and relax (a lot of people are troubled because they cannot let go) once our mood is good, we can align our mentality. Learn to let go, u can be at rest. Have a good mentality and let go of the bad past. Without Jesus we cannot let go.
- Know how to forget the past, you receive freedom
- Those who are contented find happiness
When we have Jesus, we have His ℓσνє
Jesus gives us the ability to forget the bad past
John 8:32
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Grace is the antidote for bitterness
Grace is a Person
Only Jesus can give us freedom
God loves us and He wants to help us escape from bondage
Jesus came to help us out of poverty
Matthew 11:28
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
We cannot depend on ourselves to be free.
Jesus came to see us free from poverty
Once a person is poor, the person is anxious to get money and affect his life.
Some are anxious to get rich and get into a lot of troubles.
Jesus came to set us free
Acts 7:10
and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
Joseph was betrayed by his brothers. They were jealous of him and sold him into the pit.
Joseph did not allow himself to sin. Because he knows God is with him and he did not want to sin against God. Under grace, Joseph knows God is with him and through grace he got the ability to say no to sin.
Yet he was thrown into prison because of false accusation against him
Joseph still believe God is with him and will give him back the fairness judgement of him
Joseph indeed rose up
We cannot depend on ourselves to forget
Know the Lord you will receive happiness
Romans 7:24
O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
We are helpless in and of ourselves
Let go or forget the past, we cannot do on our own
We need Him to save us. We cannot do by ourselves
Sometimes we cannot even let go of our worries
Only through grace we can live out our lives
When we don’t let go, we are harming ourselves
Romans 7:25
I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
The Lord is here to set us free
Only through Jesus, His ℓσνє, His grace and through the cross, we can live life abundantly
When we know the Lord we can find happiness
The Lord wants to save you and set you free.
