Sermon Note
Pastor Mark
When we take holy communion, we are getting stronger and stronger. From strength to strength
Jesus came and give us life and life more abundantly. We have breakthrough in life because Jesus gives us breakthrough. He is our breakthrough God!
We can have 100% assurance when we have Jesus. Jesus has won and we are above all things. We are more than conquerors in Christ
Like the song sometimes we are high and sometimes we are low. Though in life we have ups and lows, but our Jesus is with us and bring us above all problems.
Problem is not big, our Jesus is biggest.
Jesus gives us good changes in our lives.
We are in Christ and we shall never be hungry or thirsty
We hope to have good life and good future
What is right believing?
Whatever you believe, there is strength. If you believe wrongly you are trapped
We depend not on our own belief. We depend on Jesus. He is the Light that brings us out of ur prison. Prison of bondages.
Jesus wants to lead us like a light
God’s Word is light.
Psalms 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
When we cannot think through and keep struggling, we need God’s Word to light our life.
We can buy bed but we cannot buy sleep
Right believing can bring us out of prison
If we cannot sleep, it is because our hearts keep thinking and struggling
Revelation can give you freedom
John 8:32
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 1:17
For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Knowing the truth set us free
Truth and grace are one
Jesus is the way, the path
As parents, u will give the best to your children. Jesus, fully God and fully Man. Through Him we can receive what we don’t deserve.
We walk in the path that gets brighter and brighter
Through Jesus we can see very clearly.
Through Jesus we can think clearly and see clearly and let go of our path.
Grace is forgiveness. God has forgiven us
This light can shine our life
Grace and Truth came through Jesus
The punishment of sin is death
Jesus came to give us life.
When we see Jesus, He already seen us. Before we know Him, He knew us.
Grace is a Person.
It is a truth that is everlasting and don’t change
Those who believe in Him shall have everlasting life, blessings
With right believing you can have right living
A life full of abundance
We are made the righteousness of God in Christ
2 Corinthians 5:21
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Testimony –
A coffee shop chef. He believe in Christ for 3 years. Before he receive Christ, he liked to gamble and scold bad words. One day he lost all he had and was no where to go. He remembered someone told him there is a church in MBS (where he also gamble there)
He owed $90k of debts through gambling. He had no where to go and he was lost.
God let him remember his friend said there is a church in MBS. He came over from the gambling place to our church. He attended the service.
He thought he lost everything and see if God can save him.
He heard Jesus loves him and wants to save him. He said yes i want this God. This God willing to die for him and loves him. He heard the good news. He asked God to save him.
Right believing is like a light shines into his life.
Been in debt especially those loan sharks is very scary.
He was left with no way. He heard Jesus. He heard the truth. He heard Jesus loves him not because he is good.
Jesus willingly come forward to save us with His life so that we can stand in His light.
We can inherit all His inheritance.
When our lives is in darkness, the light shines into our lives.
This brother decided to follow Jesus.
He went back and asked his boss to let him take leave on Sundays so that he can go service. He said if the boss don’t allow, he will quit. He knows that Jesus will surely save him.
His boss felt maybe is just novelty for him. So he agreed to let him to take off on sundays.
He took part in care groups, attend church on sundays.
He has focus on his life now. He knows Jesus loves him. He is very happy now.
Unknowingly he don’t scold people now. He did not try to change himself. It was from inside out transformation.
Jesus wants to serve us. He wants to wash our feet. Once our feet are cleansed and blood cleansed us, we are saved once and for all.
He becomes happier now. He now go to the gambling place to tell them to restrict him from going in.
He knows Jesus loves us and is helping him.
His transformation, even his boss saw it.
When one believes in Jesus, his prison of scolding people, gambling bondages are all set free.
Even people around him asked him what changes him. He is full of joy now.
His boss and his boss wife were invited to church and received Christ!
Wow!
This is life transformation
Jesus willingly came to save him and he is so touched and even the people around him are saved.
This is the power of right believing.
He was in heavy debt. His boss decided to sell off the coffeeshop and decided to give him $15k as compensation. He now was able to pay off $9k and has $6k savings!
This is the power of right believing and grace!
Today the good news is Jesus loves you.
The light is Jesus.
Jesus can set you free from any bondages.
By His stripe, you are healed!
God is ℓσνє. ℓσνє is relationship.
John 1:17

If you can change your thinking you can change your life.
