-
You're listening to a message to go from ex church.
-
We hope this message will light up your day.
-
Today.
-
I have a very simple word for all of us.
-
Something.
-
You're gonna let me start off with a context here.
-
She can't even so whatever.
-
You know that I've been serving here for fourteen years.
-
You're the Citizenian.
-
I basically from a Monday to Friday, you will see
-
me in sub.
-
So you'll think she think she and uh.
-
From a Friday to Sunday and sometimes until Tuesday, you'll
-
see me here in Ely.
-
So you also since she currently joy and.
-
We planted the church here because God told us.
-
To women's sUAS who's our woman? And we wanted oh God.
-
So most of me and my team here. We don't
-
stay in el.
-
So you know what, Terry Waters, you know.
-
We will travel most Sundays prayer services homes true different means.
-
I put on the chatting South since romanly life, and
-
sometimes it can be challenging to our faith that help.
-
It can be a real test of patience.
-
Nice in the Koyan, because we are all flesh and blood.
-
Your migrant doses who rod we do suffer from fatigue
-
in Cham we.
-
Do suffer from lack of encouragement.
-
Chase our goo leader's also in cham.
-
Sometimes leaders we give so much, but we don't see
-
a lot of encouragement coming.
-
When you get you run the goody.
-
And for twelve years until twenty twenty two, I have been.
-
Traveling so you.
-
Eat the jam the light way, until one day the
-
Lord opened the door for me to say that it's
-
time to increase your stick here in your.
-
Life downs in Gyaoyo.
-
So you was he put it in my heart to
-
buy an apartment.
-
Here was my my eating.
-
And to cut along story short, by faith, I obeyed him.
-
You soon for the sun. I saw his breakthrough for me. No,
-
you cannown how we will too poor?
-
And now I can walk confidently around NELI to say
-
that I'm a pastor in the line because I have
-
a house address in your.
-
So you know since then, okay, and the household nel
-
you know you lightly.
-
It makes all difference to me. Actually I talked to people,
-
but oh, you stay in what you're doing in your lightly,
-
and I'll tell them, oh, I'm called here who But
-
this is it's different. Since I thirty, I'm a passing
-
you because I also stayed in there.
-
You know it's any line.
-
So I have a stick here, so well you ego.
-
That stick.
-
Also one day when you're buy house, you know like
-
you also have to pay assessment text, so.
-
It's my full neggar. The local counsel just a sweet.
-
So that speaks about stick. So to me, I took
-
the step of faith. So since in tattoo, I took
-
a step of the ownership. No, it's a tattoo you
-
don't see, and world will tell you put your money
-
where your mouth is.
-
So what I need the sound. It's a very worldly
-
principle yoga hunt.
-
But the thing about it, as Christians, we should put
-
commitment where our faith is.
-
So in some way you who know the scenes in
-
the fantail.
-
Because it's easy to profess, but it's often challenging to
-
what the commitment of faith in women the way faith
-
can only grow and work if we put it to
-
test things.
-
In somewhere and your woman and go in your bath,
-
fun in a downtown.
-
If you don't put a faith to test, we can
-
never grow.
-
You go mammy about in front another can and the moment.
-
If you don't put faith to test, we can never
-
experience all that God has in store for you.
-
You got mammy, since you know Francis down downtown, he
-
saw you.
-
I remember the days where I will come here early.
-
So would you Without a place to stay, I will
-
hang out in Mesa more.
-
Your defunct, So how would you someone usual place will
-
be Starbucks defunder She has in baker Starbucks man thing
-
in that area your so she a defunct like being
-
what does the coffee.
-
Bean gout you? It looks stylish, right, you take out
-
your laptop, you work there and kuman, you're busy now
-
seventy five you go for homes?
-
She didn't, so did she homes.
-
Because right before the owner actually arrive home.
-
No not Also, and truth be told.
-
The place has been a blessing to me because it
-
is also my place of rest.
-
So you know what it's the defunct. Can see the defunct.
-
This is I don't have to jam one and a
-
half hour. Yesterday actually took one and a half hour
-
just to come to the line the traffic push. But
-
this is I no longer have to endure the jam.
-
No, since I know push like she turns negative side because.
-
Of working hours and I usually lunchtime Friday, I will
-
come and go to my place work, and then go
-
to homes and different engage.
-
You come to the bitch wrongly. Heye s I need ily, but.
-
Doesn't come without a price because I don't show about
-
the comfort thing. When you buy house, there's also a
-
term called monthly installment.
-
You need to pay amazing food. If you buy a.
-
Condo, there's a term called uh monthly maintenance fee.
-
You need your food maintenance fee?
-
What the electricity you like? It's not free?
-
You just a nice thing invader.
-
So all these expenses that constantly remind me of why
-
I'm here to increase my stake and put an investment
-
in the time say that. So when I moved in,
-
I always observed there's this special occurrence in my house,
-
which I believe it may also appear in your house.
-
Time what time.
-
Or something? You can't then go to the.
-
Sometimes in the evening, when I turn on my very
-
nice orange lights, I will randomly see one or two
-
bees flying around. Have you've seen this in your house before?
-
Get attracted to the light and you just for some
-
reason will knock to the light and then knock again,
-
and knock again and knock again.
-
It's actually trusting, So I let them be you tal
-
is that.
-
This actually from my house? It's not the moon. If
-
it's a moon, you see this, you're better run man.
-
And the next day they all died. You know, it'll
-
be lying on the floor, lifeless and motionless. And it
-
sparked curiosity in me.
-
You're not how chissing.
-
I wanted to understand what is the scientific reason behind it?
-
It's like pay who is so much curse shater in you?
-
The super spiritual Sometimes over spiritual people say, oh, this
-
is my land flowing of milk and honey.
-
Face, So sa lunar, you need the tea that you
-
can be.
-
Somewhere with a lot of honey.
-
How can I how cann from your own do?
-
I know? There must be a scientific explanation.
-
Because you have to curshiter in you. So it's part
-
my curiosity.
-
So those of you who have insects and whatever always
-
coming to your house, I think you may know the
-
reason if you're not very good. But most of you
-
I think don't know.
-
So you know what will tell your towns the bottom
-
face something you know? However, you don't raise your hand.
-
I don't know.
-
However, you don't know. All right, we come to science class.
-
Face that would take a curse youer curs so I did.
-
I wouldn't say research. I did a simple finding life.
-
So just is it next time?
-
We explained nicely. So it turns out that bees, like
-
many insects, are naturally attracted to light.
-
So Nat she had a gang.
-
You can see a behavior known as positive photo taxis.
-
So the Chi guang sing just pay you. Certainly the
-
finding that she paid gang.
-
She see in the when they respond to light, it
-
actually helps them in their navigation system.
-
So you take fining around time.
-
And she bund hung the ego because in daytime they'll
-
they'll rely on the sun.
-
The way morning high gang, they'll.
-
Rely on polarized light patterns in the sky to find
-
their way, so they're guided by lights.
-
Don't and I see the nearing gang like she mostly
-
she bunked her function.
-
So in the evening, when you turn on your lights,
-
it's basically not real light from the sun, right, it's
-
an artificial light.
-
Soon as I turn so she's a cigarettes out.
-
So it can confuse them to fly towards these lights instead,
-
it's a flighting home. They get attracted to the lights
-
in your house.
-
A mi so no face for the neggarans out the
-
guangip So.
-
Then when they follow an artificial light, it often becomes
-
catch this word, disoriented and ends up flying around the
-
light sauce endlessly. That's what you saw in the video.
-
And she's like, yeah, out facing the thing that likes
-
you's facing.
-
So tonight, very restless.
-
So it's im shuicy. Can I find food to it?
-
Can I find rest shoesy?
-
So what happened was it eventually exhausts itself, leading to
-
its death by morning. So just.
-
So it died because of exhaustion pleading. So when I read.
-
This right, it's like, wow, yeah, there's a revelation that
-
I felt God gave me that too many people exhaust
-
themselves leading to death chasing the wrong light. Just three
-
and I say, you know, when I had this understanding,
-
I look at the motionless b I look at my
-
life like, well, almost similar.
-
Kind of surround me from.
-
Because sometimes in life we can go after the wrong light.
-
Town. So one more issue negarang.
-
Not knowing that it ultimately leads to a form of death.
-
Norman without woman.
-
That's Christians. We should always chase after Jesus.
-
So you know, so much to know. Yes, here is
-
the light of the world. It doesn't the guang, then
-
you will have life, no need you hear.
-
John Chapter eight was twelve. Jesus spoke to them. That
-
means he spoke to the Pharisees again saying, I am
-
the light of the world. He who follows me shall
-
not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.
-
So that you have for impatants. So the gang cons
-
world that you put that heir and need to gang.
-
So just now while you in prayer time, you say
-
Jesus is the Way, the truth and the light.
-
So he yes.
-
But the scripture is Jesus is the Way, the truth
-
and the life. So yes.
-
So just not mean.
-
But it wasn't a mistake, although to you it seems
-
like a mistake. For God is confirming the message something
-
that she shared. What is so often because sometimes speaking
-
we're also not sure what to share, like should share,
-
shouldn't share? Then Sally, she said, You're the way, the
-
truth and the like, thank you Jesus.
-
That there often hear scripture is Jesus is the Way,
-
the truth, and yes, just sim people gwang, that's teachang.
-
And he says, he who follows me shall not walk
-
in darkness, but have the light of life.
-
Or to put that hair and little chapter.
-
It was a context when the Pharisees caught a woman
-
in adult tree.
-
So it's like you have forintipat singing the phony.
-
Adult means basically a man and a woman had a
-
relationship outside of their marriage.
-
So the sing any fast and so.
-
Back then, according to the law of Moses, whoever got
-
caught in the eyes of two or three witnesses, that
-
particular individual will have to be stolen to death.
-
So she thought out.
-
All these pharisees called the woman, said to Jesus so
-
and they say, Jesus, this is the law. You remember what.
-
Jesus did, MoMA.
-
He stood down, he wrote something on the sands you.
-
Don't see.
-
Then he did that the second time, and then he says,
-
he who is without saying, casts the first stone.
-
How do you see Niman down?
-
So Niemann, people who accusing this woman all left, one
-
by one, so nice.
-
That you conca because they knew they were seen in
-
their heart seen they knew they have committed seene as
-
well down to Jesus being the perfect man on earth.
-
If according to the law could have picked up the
-
stone and stoner.
-
Because your negative another sutology time.
-
But he asked the woman, where are your accusers? How you.
-
Nice concourt? And they all left the chamber and Julie Kyler.
-
Then in verse eleven, Jesus says, neither do I condemn
-
you go and sin no more.
-
So we're putting to be outside.
-
That was a context before he says I am the
-
light of the world. He who follows me will not
-
be in.
-
Darkness him right Shiko.
-
So in other words, darkness is often associated with sin.
-
Jus, Young dalk you consider later read.
-
A scripture that would let you know that men love
-
to live in darkness rather than coming to light.
-
So they say, you don't think, can't Jesus he down Son.
-
In John chapter three, verses sixteen to twenty one, it says,
-
for God so loved the world that he gave his
-
only begonden Son, that whoever believes in him should not
-
perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send
-
his son into the world to condemn the world, but
-
that the world through him might be saved. Was eighteen.
-
He who believes in him is not condemned, but he
-
who does not believe is condemned already because he has
-
not believed in the name of the only begotten Son
-
of God. And this is the condemnation. That the light
-
has come into the world. And men love darkness rather
-
than light because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing
-
evil hates the light and does not come to the
-
light lest his deeds should be exposed. But he doesn't.
-
But he who does the truth comes to the light
-
that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they may
-
that they have been done in God.
-
Thanks Solsten. I shouldn't sudn't singman singin Guang like other
-
Sergain shouldn't inter I hate and think hamadri juicides fans
-
or the pin Gang Guang kmart Bay.
-
So remember Christmas is never about Center. It has never
-
been about Mariah Carey as well. Christmas has always been
-
about the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus. Y
-
between the book of Micah, which is the last minor
-
prophet to the Gospel, was the span of about four
-
hundred over years.
-
Sooner time mea shot out since the senior.
-
So for four hundred years the children of Israel lived
-
in darkness.
-
So down in the townsilatedt the middle hote I hate
-
any men. That's why when.
-
John the Baptist was in the wilderness proclaiming the way,
-
they asked whether you.
-
The like you actually Neggar attaches to Neggar the Baptist
-
points to Jesus. Now, so you hand right, she thought
-
the years souize.
-
So this December, which is today city December. When you
-
wish people merry Christmas, you are basically telling them hope
-
has come in the form of light.
-
Sometimes like she shrink power Wang eating light.
-
That light can the true light can only be found
-
in Jesus.
-
You're not eating light. You're not gonna.
-
Chris. Since we knew this, Jesus redeemed us from the
-
kingdom of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of
-
His love, which is His light.
-
So to know years to have powerment Downtown writing, and
-
then we.
-
Should count you abide in this light. Take we abide
-
in this light? Were abiding in God. And we must
-
live a life that is righteous and full of truth
-
a quant because if we don't, that will mean we're
-
living outside of God, and that will mean we are
-
entering into darkness.
-
So hey, any just putymen. So the first part.
-
I wanted you to understand that as Christians, we are
-
redeemed from darkness and now we live in His life.
-
So thousand ye hey down on June true light.
-
But despite walking the light, if we are not careful,
-
sometimes we can be tempted to walk in the artificial light,
-
and we become.
-
Like the be So you know, puts us in. So
-
each hon runs out, Qan young.
-
Not every light will lead you to the true path,
-
and not every light will lead you to life.
-
And I see the quanan.
-
When the apostle Paul wanted to address the church in
-
corinth the church that he birthed, his uncle and jose.
-
Firn as so whole, he.
-
Need to address a particular situation where a lot of
-
false apostles were entering into churches to give false teaching.
-
Seems don't see In Second.
-
Corinthians, chapter eleven, verse twelve to fifteen, says, but what
-
do I do? I will also continue to do that
-
I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire
-
an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in
-
the things of which they both For such are false apostles,
-
deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ, and no
-
wonder for Satan himself transform himself into an angel of light. Therefore,
-
it is no great thing if its ministers also transform
-
themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according.
-
To their works. Tenchines are run the way Taman saw Corsook,
-
not the reversity the in wal so it had a
-
tai Erong way, the tai Shuan Citi. You put on
-
Citi time and the jip runs out the time in
-
the same way.
-
And an era where information is easily accessible at our fingertip,
-
so you know, just just a sin. In an era
-
where you have TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, uh Instagram, you have
-
access to a lot of information.
-
The India down on the care you're put on. The
-
surg can do the susine.
-
Many of the more mature people here when they were
-
growing up, when in church contexts, they only have access
-
to their pastors, their selected few leaders, or the books
-
that they read.
-
Two thousand.
-
Today, when you get connected to the internet, you have
-
a whole library of people teachings that you can.
-
Have access to. Book on social model, don't okay, And.
-
I feel very strongly that a lot wants to remind
-
us that we should be careful in what we receive.
-
So you know, because Satan transformed himself into an angel
-
of light. Paul associated the Four Apostles to this.
-
We're not communist teaching women false.
-
Teachings actually will draw you away from God. But you
-
are thinking it's the life.
-
And then and I said, hold now, who run it
-
like you?
-
You wait, let me give you a few examples. There
-
are some teachings that will promote you only repent once
-
and you're saved and in your for all your future scenes.
-
You don't have to repent.
-
It's not and it's so fun. Need to push it's
-
very dangerous. See face Someway center.
-
Because the Bible tells us that if you confess your
-
sins to God.
-
And also omen moments the tree in the Lord's.
-
Prayer when you read the structure, give us this day
-
our daily break and forgive us of our sins. So
-
confession is meant to be daily.
-
And the fun.
-
But if you're not careful, we'll take the grace of
-
God for granted.
-
She Downranda that I.
-
Would live my life how I want to be, because
-
the grace of God is with me.
-
And you know what she saw?
-
What until even if I break his law, even if
-
I break his commandment, he will still forgive me me?
-
Or like she finds me, how hides her?
-
Now, be careful of hyper grace.
-
By pander. So we think that, yes, there.
-
Is a God who forgive, and we think that because
-
he forgives, we can live our life anyhow we want,
-
disregarding His law and his commandment.
-
Soon consul, if you.
-
Actually follow the Bible, what does being righteous meaning? So
-
about also meditating His law day and night?
-
You jure the down high word in your heart? You
-
why it turns I need the single men? What about
-
the prosperity teaching? The tel down each Hong Kong the jailtown.
-
That people come to God because they think that God
-
can make them prosperous time.
-
I like also the main changes in WI. So in
-
case down on each.
-
Hong Kong, Jesus didn't die so that you can become
-
a multi millionaires?
-
Yes, how womans around.
-
Jesus died so that he can save us from eternal condemnation.
-
Yes, Jus.
-
Someone just can affect teachings because I interact with people
-
in church and outside of church.
-
Told the ja can tell her you don't you put
-
on the gold home even the way you give your
-
offering this morning, Jesus getting the function as a whole?
-
Are you giving out of a posture of worship? That
-
God I give you because of worship? And even if
-
you don't bless me in return. I just want to
-
let you know that this is an amount that represented
-
my heart.
-
This thing by the cern says a certain you're too fully,
-
she don't have any high sud rank consern So so
-
what the thing by the scene that you are from sinking? Oh?
-
Are we giving really really expecting that God will give
-
you beyond beyond measure?
-
That woman actual cas omens how woman?
-
So so I know it's a very sensitive topic because
-
the Bible did says when we give, he will not
-
hold back, and he will give.
-
Backing doesn't say if you look at it closely, it
-
is a question of motivation, because she can't. She's just
-
a negative tong lead.
-
What is your motivation in giving? Is it giving to
-
honor God? Or is it in giving so that you
-
want God to.
-
Bless or the tongue? This is motanic that's on his opinion. Yeah,
-
she forcation cont the same time, so the way to discern.
-
Is to have the word of God. And I said,
-
your word is a lamp to my feet.
-
And a like to my path on.
-
So we need the word of God to guide us
-
to the true like so that.
-
We do not be deceived with artificial lives. H She
-
taling turns, and.
-
You and I cannot be a Christian but yet not
-
growing in reading and understanding the.
-
Word of God. Okay, somewhere, because the times are getting darker.
-
And then since your hair under and in that time.
-
Many false teachers, many false prophets.
-
Will rise up. And hey, the time to who are
-
you thought the other? Since yeah, you thought the other
-
like she's th chili.
-
And it's also a time when many people will have
-
itchy years no where they are only drawing to people
-
who will speak principles that they can agree in. But
-
when people speak principles that they don't agree in, although
-
it aligns to the Word of God, they would not
-
want to listen. They would not want to hear.
-
You think that, she and Tony, you think.
-
Thou Jesus and Apostle Paul have already warn us. In
-
the last days, many people will be drawn away.
-
So in a year soon in kotistic omen juice time.
-
Most of the so you are you. They think they're
-
being drawn to god tention, not just the.
-
Down by chilling their heart. They have been far away.
-
Because SUI need Ah.
-
You must develop that habit to read the Word of
-
God for yourself.
-
Tell you, tell me, seque you you you must eating.
-
So I like the concept bring your own bible or
-
buy your bible.
-
So even cering you know people who do not have
-
a strong.
-
Foundation in the Word of God, you will be like.
-
I don't have English word for this, but malaybored is
-
lalang in the rook corner.
-
A really the thing called so it puts to Lutheran.
-
Lalang is like just imagine a very tall grass. When
-
the wee tails here, you go here. When the wind
-
goes there, you goes there. Whatever the world say, you
-
will go, whatever teaching, you are quick to agree, and
-
you go here, go there. You don't discern for yourself.
-
You don't test the spirit whether this is from God or.
-
Not downloading the content. Hi, you sound like for each
-
or being for its leaders cup.
-
So there are two things in my life. At least
-
I observe whether I will I am living in the light.
-
Or not so? Whce how times formut one.
-
If God were to take everything away that I hold
-
on to, will I still have like ten?
-
Not So it's send me a townsong soil that eaching
-
is soup for high or negative.
-
Twenty twenty and twenty twenty one has been extraordinary and
-
it's also challenging because of COVID and m c O.
-
So it's it's genu you can face is neggar eating We.
-
Our family have gone through difficult times or we know
-
people who have gone through difficult times.
-
Roman consuls so many Oman either omens her but to.
-
Be the two years was also a year where it
-
was a year of reveal, because that when a difficult
-
situation like this come, what are we made of?
-
Just said she said woman more like she because Jesus are.
-
Really for told it is there will be more challenging
-
times coming away, just.
-
Years changing women down hosts that who you are your
-
told searching fashion.
-
So in twenty twenty, when the entire church cannot meet.
-
It's so Dunstan change.
-
That's who you all needed to participate from home.
-
Norman, she turned you to you. Hey, the lot challenged
-
me with a question like she tells somewhere one tea,
-
Will you still worship me? Like how you worship in church?
-
Johnson Jay sensible? Will you still wear your Sunday best?
-
It's for HydroD At She try someding the tree.
-
How will you still sing out loud? It's for hy
-
do despite facing the screen.
-
Jesus diy a canon.
-
When no one was looking around mirror that condone. It
-
was really a test. K You know, sometimes we anchor
-
our life around different things.
-
Down to a commander. He found that put on the
-
sing sound. We think that we work so hard majoroman
-
single and.
-
Our career will give us life from not going You know,
-
why do people work so high that wants more going to?
-
It's obviously for many reasons that you put on the
-
un in what a primary reason is to have money?
-
You see your chin so that with money you have
-
better financial standing?
-
Hold on, did you be okay? You think then you
-
can have a better life?
-
Right?
-
God is not against money. It's our certa typing mail
-
push you.
-
But God is against the love of money.
-
Consider for examples your iinin.
-
Because if you love money more than you love God
-
means God is not number one in your life.
-
You on the its on the e way.
-
Those of you in relationship, you know my husband and
-
wife tell in your spouse and see you're actually number two.
-
But number one is you know something else.
-
From from okay? Number one you you you can don't
-
see be in.
-
So we take time to build our career. So we
-
go through the red race. We get promoted. Now today
-
we're a director, we are ceo, we are whatever sea
-
suite management level.
-
No going to the and me think that it's life.
-
Going to because people look at you now. Also you
-
feel you're being respected to because you have standing, You
-
have a title in front of you, down.
-
Parent, the mean turner downtown, youg the.
-
Car you drive is different, the house you stay is different.
-
And if you feel good that wow, you have this status.
-
You need to.
-
You can't need who kinds of pampoo? Young?
-
However, you know people who have lost everything in COVID.
-
It's aut inside each in the business Hamerson Bin.
-
They need to downsize their lifestyle.
-
Downtowns and fun are being turned younger.
-
All these things away. But if you make Jesus your like,
-
you make Jesus your life, he will sustain you. Now,
-
I want all of our students here to get good grades,
-
to be winning awards, to be an example in your classroom,
-
like Young, but your studies cannot be a platform that
-
you feel that if you were to do good in
-
your studies, it will give you a better life.
-
Saw Although yes it's true, you get scholarship, you get
-
better hiring opportunity.
-
All this is very natural, Gonsole, but it also serves
-
as a reminder that it can be like an artificial light.
-
And runs out the quang Young.
-
Right, you can get four point zero, you can student link,
-
you can get all the a's you can. But what
-
if in the next six months you can still find
-
a job, Because look at does that mean God is
-
no longer good?
-
Now? You typo? How the sun man anchor your life
-
in Jesus, in your party, the sermon the mouth found
-
that year Sudany.
-
Mean in ministry as well, to my dear leaders here.
-
Idling Shuman.
-
Sometimes we think ministry is life and that's all. Sometimes
-
we love ministry, we love the church more thame, we love.
-
Jesus and tell her Ias.
-
So you're gotta be very careful about this because that
-
serves that's an artificial life.
-
Some kind of sigur ros are the guan young. You
-
can love the ministry doesn't mean you love Jesus in
-
any case. I so, but when you love Jesus, you
-
can love the ministry because you create is gone. Don't
-
be like the poor bee calling the phone.
-
Every man, call the phone, every man. I have to
-
bury a few.
-
Anti girl.
-
I don't have to bury any one of you, because
-
it's very exhausting.
-
It ain't even hunting right to chase after.
-
That's why you and I will know that white people
-
work so hard despite achieving a lot, they don't feel satisfied.
-
You feel something is missing, cher don't. The answer is
-
because they have been chasing the wrong Jesus is the
-
light of the world, so that's a slight here many mistakes.
-
I put that blank feeling the blank. Whatever you want
-
as life, until one day when they no longer have it,
-
they realize it is only Jesus who can give us
-
true life.
-
Eating the sermon and actually because you're eating tung tamon,
-
eating sushio soil, the sotaman's high fasten years.
-
Sometimes God will stripped everything away so that you can
-
go through that process of humility to know that he
-
is your ultimate life. He is your ultimate dependency.
-
So many towns on soil don't how yees in towns
-
on our.
-
Way in Ganga tell us about the parable of the
-
prodigal sun I got lance the lands. The prodigal son
-
went up to his dad and say that dad gave
-

-
will leave you.
-
How you gonna have a footeena.
-

-

Malaysia, we we use tight slap means five by in

-
pod son did with the dad was very rude.
-
You gonna have yahoo ye.
-
But out of the goodness that the dad has, the
-
dad decided to release his inheritance and the prodigal son
-
decided to move away from the dad's house.
-
Hides. Know how the hid time you go to he spent.
-
His inheritance and he thought that was life.
-
So you know what what how? And I said, hadn't

Modern day, it's like spending partying, meeting all the girls, uh,
-
living the high life, spend spend until one day he
-
realized that he doesn't even have enough, or he had
-

-
Pay and sound to the sound, and I said, put

You know what Honestly at that point, right, I was

-

-

Batter life for you.
-

-
Make that six months count hoh around me by by
-
the water.
-
See, the world has a very different understanding about what
-
life of human means.
-
Haw on you, young holders. So you're put it on
-
the egn change.
-
By paper of faith. We will know that life cannot
-
be fulfilled until we find God in Christ.
-
Because Terence, So I leave it at that. So do
-
you hate us? Founder? Okay?
-
So back then there's a thing called newspaper. You know
-
what newspaper is?
-
That's hold on you.
-
There is no one read newspaper, right is so at
-
my at my table usually our family we have newspaper
-
at the stuff.
-
So it's when the chali you material.
-
The start in my daily routine is usually I don't
-
look at the headline. I've always turned behind why because
-
behind is a sports hit line.
-
First, no, you can't do yo, she found out.
-
You know you can't sports. Then you turn to classified
-
linked to the comic section and had you t know
-
you put on on the but there familiar with the newspaper,
-
there is always that obituary section. Object section is basic
-
section where there is an announcement that this particular individual
-
has passed away. This is a week says, this is
-
their parents, this is their related family members, and it's
-
that that's called oborituary.
-
So in the.
-
Thousand so one, particularly as I flipped over, I saw
-
this individual that looks very familiar, and I saw his
-
name Matthew Paul.
-
No, no, you're eaten. You like you found out about
-
those you cannot taken.
-
SUSI he didn't make it, have I? And I don't
-
know his final state.
-
We mean tell to you the cheeses the younger, but
-
I knew.
-
And that encounter God gave me. I presented to him
-
an alternative.
-
Town Neggar, take the change. And if you don't know.
-
Jesus, you don't have to live without an alternative.
-
Let Jesus be the option for you too. But you
-
push your tea your.
-
Years and sometimes as Christians, because of our familiarity with church,
-
familiarity of how we do things, we think we are
-
in Christ. But at the deeper level, if you were
-
to reflect, are we really in Christ?
-
And the times so much into those majes see O
-
don't see in Hawaii now like spurn the attack, we
-
really in the light, turn the or we in the
-
form of light. But it's not the true likes.
-
The teeth does not come except to still kill and destroy.
-
I have come that they may have life, that they
-
may have it more abundantly.
-
The confunction.
-
John one one to form the last line that the
-
extreme comes up. In the beginning was the Word, and
-
the word was with God, and the word was God.
-
He was in the beginning with God. All things were
-
made through him, and without him nothing was made that
-
was made in him life and life was the light
-
of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and
-
the darkness did not comprehend.
-
It unease the instal.
-
I have to encouragement for us group of people to encourage.
-
So your igoman first one is to my fellow brothers
-
and sisters. Here the thing you're Christian to walk in
-
the line now sings negat be Discerningah like you neggar.
-
Don't Charlie, use the word of God to test every teaching.
-
How you like? She needs you use the word of
-
God to test every advice?
-
And why are you like? She linked the jolt.
-
Good advice doesn't mean godly advice, and una how the
-
how the the t Godly advice will always stem from
-
the word of God.
-
And it's your son Susan like the ten trying to
-
go and so you.
-
And a reminder for all of us to be careful
-
of false teachers.
-
It will make teachnal and false teaching that sad. The
-
other how are you?
-
The second girl I want to encourage is people who
-
do not know Jesus.
-
So the other to be hyper years.
-
So by coming to church this morning is an opportunity
-
for you to know that God really loves you. Tell something,
-
He has a plan, He has a purpose for you.
-
Who are you.
-
If you would have opened your heart to just sinking,
-
you just don't need.
-
To see your kindly sing that you shin chot Han
-
to find for him that she shines out town, you
-
will be able to encounter him out town.
-
Remember the light that God shines and darkness cannot conquehend years.
-
So conner hey, and like she does. Maybe we have
-
been living in darkness, couldn't he?
-
And we can't seem to find the way out without
-
too low. You're tormented by fear in pains the tree park.
-
But today prophetically I speak to you and your.
-
Spirit hapen since in scene like you don't need a
-
linen So that.
-
Is your calm to the light of the world Jesus,
-
Just like that was years to the men. The darkness
-
that is hovering away your life, we have no choice
-
but to cease.
-
And I said, and down it happened the daughter.
-
Remember when the earth was dark, void and without form
-
a lot say.
-
Let that be like hey and p and t sun
-
so ya gang gang, So let that be light all
-
your life, so round like the guang, be light over
-
