The Message of the Cross (Part 3) | Pr Janaronson Nagarajah

You're listening to a message to go from axt church. We hope this message

will light up your day. Last week I shared from First Corinthians, the

focus was mainly on unity in church. So it's not going to her how

the apostle Paul needed to address different factions in church and young she I'm not

going said why unity is important for church growth way and I was always tell

her turns down on her is amos and how unity is especially important whenever the

church needed to address specific issues. She she don't mean it's taken from the

from what Paul have addressed. Of all the things he wanted to address the

church in Koreine, he started with unity first. Out her. You know,

a mom who is my colleague who is also a believer, shared with

us, you know, over work one day to the about tips about how

she and her husband would educate their children and bring up their children in the

ways of the Lord. No, your friend fend So how can I sings

and rule her about how the hides like she time she and center. I

know we have a couple of parents here and many here. One day be

a parent you So she shared this one thing that she do in the household

know how to go fund sound friends and also comes to nurturing the child,

that woman beside pey not I say, the hides. When it comes to

disciplining the child, she hides the whole. She and her husband will always

have to speak the same thing, sins young if there is a disagreement in

how the discipline. If there's a disagreement between the husband and the wife in

one thing to discipline the kid, it is best to take it together.

As husband and wife agree, then only discipline put on the fuci. For

example, if the kids, if it is a household rule that there's no

ice cream after dinner, you have to stick to it. No ice cream

after dinner, So you're gonna tell the child cannot go to the father and

say that can I have ice cream? On? Okay yachting man and dad

saying no, it's great that there is no ice cream after dinner. English.

And so those of you who are parents, you know sometimes kids they

are really really creative. So many Foo wouldn't even get happens to her daughter

trunk eat when dad says no, what do the kids do? More?

All that before? Right, we will go to mom and say mom,

can we have ice cream, just mam, so no, how do you

people? It's a being chilling. You know. Dad has a special place

for kids, but moms have a softer place for kids as well. That

sometimes so without sing yeah, no home footing. Now, when there's an

agreement, the mom cannot say, oh, poor you, you miss the

ice cream so much. Let me give you some ice cream. You know

you do. The mom obviously have to agree with the husband for making such

decisions China. Likewise in the area of discipline as well, Young I am

a firm believer that discipline starts from the home. Correction starts from the home.

Something town right children, that parents cannot delegate discipline and correction to the

church's children child talk. So as a child, the message from the parents

must be a united message. No ice cream at a certain time means no

ice cream. If there's curfew at certain times so that you can come back

at a certain time, you've got to stick to it. Jill didn't without

your didn't without you. If Wi Fi is off at seven pm, is

off at seven pm, So you can't there something you can't tell, all

right, So the husband and I have to agree on it. Town food

juici it's but this is the family unit, Chary. If you know that

unity between husband and wife, parents are important, what more unity among the

church and her is I was sharing with our dear friends Bill and Helen.

Then I just came back from Brisbane women thing like teach certain conference from Brisbane

Life. So it was my second time visiting my sister and brother in lawst

Church so that she found and the second time. The first time I ran

was twenty sixteen. Uh. The second time was obviously in September this year.

So what is she is also illumining in Apen? So I went back

there was a new senior pastor. Well so not you seeing the turn down?

And but Matt was gracious enough to bring me around fellowship, have meals

together. How do you know? It's a title? And I'm gonna ask

him, Oh, so what happened to the previous senior pastor? No?

You do you know? You went now another one thousand younger. Uh.

He told me that the church board had to step the senior pasta down due

to certain compromises. He has even on hold how you go over sound sound

fun? In when downt you, you tod you? And I felt very

curious without without breaching into people's private life, asked, oh what happened?

No, no, what you you to eat? So the former pastor had

a stand that he is agreeable to the same gender marriage just like you don't

eat Tong sing Lyn Tire the searching As a church, obviously we cannot agree

to it. Woman's don't eat because in God's word, marriage is a covenant

between a man and a woman. Downs on a moniness when in the moniness

you even in an inning and she turned yield. The church doesn't practice discrimination.

Wait, haven't being male like she tos Igoran your opinion? Wharen has

God love people? We love people to it's an iron woman is an iron.

But when it comes to God's work, when it comes to his commandment,

there is no compromising and we cannot break his commandments. So down like

why I wanted to start off with this is because it showed that the church

was united in their standards. So the church cannot be divided when it comes

to issues like this. The friend she put on the fa. So imagine

in ex church, this is our stands woman, the woman, the lea.

And so my leaders don't agree and they say, buster we should be

more inclusive, put you, we should be more culturally relevant. If we

don't share the same conviction looks Roman singing as a whole, the church can

never grow, it turns out, look, acceptance doesn't mean agreement. That

is also a woman among our myths. We do know there are people who

are of alternative lifestyles that woman, woman's sounds juices. In my workplace,

I have a transgender working in one of my sub teams. Or the hunting

and woman you're egerman has been singen, So we don't practice discrimination. Woman

ma or like you, choose this opinion Haran, where we can be inclusive,

we will be inclusive that woman. But when when it comes to marriage,

when it comes to relationship, we have to obey the word of God.

Because like so when you read when you read First Corinthians, you also

realize that Paul addresses worship service order in terms of the usage of spiritual gifts.

Say tell her, I think parates, so you don't put on the

earning. So give you an example also of how the church must be united,

even in how orderly the worship service should be. So can so she's

a I think by the functions, So her either like you think some people

will have preference to say that, you know, we shouldn't start with pre

worship prayers straight away, start with worship. It's not one. But you

push here, you part time. Some people will say that instead of doing

holy comedion once a man, let's do every Sunday. No a sensuation and

currentry ms ship it's eator. It's a sanja problem to makas. Some people

say, instead of collecting offering four sundays, let's just do one sunday.

Current terms a magasin promance. So it's you how different people have different preferences

in how worship service should be, you know, put on the sand far.

But as we are sensitive to the Lord for this church and how he

wants us to express our worship to him, she thinks we have to agree

on a particular order. So easy the things in the most the church must

have an order. Sushi without order, there will be chaos. Sushi without

order, there will be confusion. Sush. Imagine next way you come back

to church, we start with offering first. The next way you come with

church, another chairperson will say, let's start with communion first. Secondly,

I like when I almost say come back the following following week. Let's start

with Benediction first. Now that I who lighters, am so there must be

an agreement to a particular order of how we worship corporately. So it's our

woman's think chat with you. It is not about personal preferences. And also

want to and you and I, we all have our personal preference. You

can wantacy, how but for the sake of unity, often personal preference have

to take the back seat, and the preference of obeying and worshiping God should

take the precedents. Curcan holy Now you need a pasty that she's saying something.

She's so so unity so her So why I do revel? I want

to be united with my campus team, revel I go to something I don't

want to say even welcome with them. And it's about loving our community,

not just a quantity that woman and woman is about making a difference in our

community. I wanted to say her. Woman is about reaching out the community

where often nobody would want to reach out to women. Telly, I want

to say, who is a mirror? So stand united with you? So

you know what Santa is her either turn to the Book of Psalm, chapter

hundred and thirty three Roman like she Can't pent E by San San Sang.

So the title is blessed Unity of the People of God, a song of

essence of David. So it's mean her emon who has at and what's one?

It says, behold, how good and how pleasant it is for veterron

to dwell together in unity? Can I tition hermo hurd understand hurt on the

main? So being united, it's a good thing. Now the searching,

I think in the first Sunday when I shared about Corinthians, I also said

that the church or Christians should come back physically to the church and no long

don't have to make online worship your only option. So it's also do you

do in garage? Because as Christians we must not forsake the assembly of the

Saints. That means the assembly of coming together physically. And took you who's

somewhere saying to it doesn't searching And you know our friends Bill and Helen and

encourage us today. I mean you are on transit. You could have taken

the excuse of not coming to church. You stayed so far into an hotel,

but today you are the You came as early as ten twenty us a

change are like this also blessed because he told me it's about the unity coming

together. Because I was just explaining we run by lingual worship in Mandarin in

English and all love your spirit either sing behold how good and how pleasant it

is for veterren to dwell together in unity? Do you can I teach on

hormo? Don't you hurt? Understand? Hurt? On the main it is

like the precious oil upon the heat running down on the beard, the beard

of erin you to how Pina put on the un Aaron obviously comes from the

priestly lineage of the Livites. Do you ya Nagatis running down on the edge

of his garments. Do you lookout shan, It is like the dew of

herman. You how behamen the kind descending upon the mountains of Zion, For

there the Lord commanded the blessing life forever more inter yoh so meanting the food

just young sometimes you're here the pastor pray. Lord, when there's unity,

you will command a blessing only to food. It's taken from the scripture,

not just the thing. When gods people are united, he will command a

blessing her food. Amen. Amen, So all the way from the very

top of the head to the ages of the garment. The blessing will flow.

The oil of the annoying thing basically signifies blessing said, whether you're not.

So, when the leaders are united, the congregation will stand to be

blessed. When the congregation is united, the community will stand to be blessed.

Dodo you mention either? So the search into is so monthful. So

it was preparing yesterday and this morning the Lord wanted me to remind us X

me lie about our heritage. So better since woman like she just go and

see that woman. The as a church, our heritage as a church,

our legacy transcended. And it's in the word being radical, radical obedience,

radical unity, radical generosity. So they don't know this, but I'm gonna

call some people up to interview them. They will haven't. That's a because

no worry like she means, because it's one thing hearing from the pasta seventeen

pastors. It's not a thing hearing from the people themselves. Right, So

yeah, you will help translate if needed. You worship leaders, Mike Josh

can can yoursel Mike can? Okay, you'll be one of them. Don't

worry. Okay, I will start off with one is probably in the washroom.

I'll start with probably Alicia first. Now, how Mary, have you

were in homes last week? Yeah? You went homes right? So on

what it was your homes Wednesday? Wednesday, Alisha bexted the core leaders group

NA since she read since Alisha, had you seen shen gomen uh her sing

the twenty day? Okay? So for the benefit of our international friends.

We are in a state called the Gris and Milan she stays in another state

called Lang. Okay. So now you told us that it took you three

and a half hours when you left work and that you arrived homes three and

a half hours later. Alia, like our homes. Tell us how did

you felt? And what makes you drive all the way when you could have

given upon Because along the way, I'm sure there many US youthan signing surrounding

audiences. You dance a dancing I did. I wasn't very concerned. Then

my homies if already prepared for homes and uh my leaders also are that sing.

So to me, no matter what time I arrived from homes, it

doesn't matter as long as my heart is at the right place noways it down

sohole thirty. I didn't also choose to go back head back home straight away

because I know that serving God is not an option, no con that kaween

wall the same thing. And I also told myself that perhaps this is it

is a time for God to uh challenge my faith. I was so I

no matter how hard it is, I will still need to persevere. It's

a it's a radical decision. You know. Three and a half hours we

joke, can go be ready that this is okay. It's a radical decision.

Thanks Elisia. Next, Meggie, do you can you so worship leaders

Mike? This morning when I came to church, I was actually the third

one arrived at church. Every Sunday at fifteen we will have intercessory prayer together,

Maga think she wrote, Mom Eager actually said do we pray for We

pray for us, and we pray for all of you. My way woman

waiting dity migrant. Many people don't know this. Maggie takes the public transport

from slang Or five forty five am almost every Sunday, so you don't put

out out something eating early and you need tissue. And today I joke with

her another sister which I will call up later that I joke with him.

I say that what those have cars come later than those who actually came by

public transport, as a form of encouragement, not as a form of comparison,

but as a form of encouragement to say that, you guys woke up

really early. So tell us your experience and your journey. Five forty five

a m. You took the r T from Subang to care Central, Care

Central. You will take the E r L. You will go to Kota

Warrisan Koto Wari's son. You will take a grab all the way to be

here five forty five and you arrive at eight o'clock. Radical redical Maggie,

why do you do it? Uh? For me? Oh water watch the

excellent something down the defund To me, a light is the place where God

has caught me to just look what somebody had the defounders the whole uh since

defund. So if God hasn't called me to anywhere else, then I have

to be faithful to where I'm caught to be. So for something or will

choose defounders the whole don does mean like she's too full bearing way, So

when I am caught when I go to where God God has called me to.

Uh, it's not just me blessing, it's not just God using me

to bless someone else by God, but also bless me. Yes, now,

let me share with you so that you can appreciate her story even more

so. We also have ex church Suban right, so we have the eight

am service, which is also bilingual, and Maggie stays basically less than three

hundred meters of five. Yeah, five minutes can reach eight am in Subang.

But she chose to serve together with us here. How many of you

would say that is radical? Okay, calcom cuting opens on the route.

That's ties of I don't know to embarrass you, but I want the church

to know what it costs to be radically obedient to the lot because she shed

it really well, she's doing it to the lot right. God called her

here and there's a price to pay if we want to serve God. Right.

Talking about price, we know that after lunch every Sunday she will have

her homes right and now for right and L four. So after lunch and

L four will meet every Sunday in the harp and then you'll probably take a

grab back to Kota Warisan take eurl Right. So in a day like this,

how much did you spend for your transport? Thirty five thirty five ring

it just on a Sunday one way to and fro of course one track,

so to trip will be seventy seventy ring it for the Lord h it's radical.

It's radical because we know you work full time for our school as well.

Victory Academy at the school is still growing. What is your encouragement to

people who may not necessarily take their Sunday seriously? Like if I feel like

it, I'll come church. If I don't feel like it, I don't

want to come with church, or the church is too far away from me,

I don't want to come. What is your encouragement to keep it?

Like me uh oh the or the SMA war answering what war uh uh war

paid the say s thing. And the reason that I am safe is not

by by my own words or by my MC. Yeah, and it's not

because also whether I'm worthy to be safe. Yeah way somebody that okay uh

Hu mangot uh batient gautyas wrong patient. It is by God's grace that I

am being used by him and who I am today from a very different person

who I was. Make it down. And I believe that God has a

plan for every each one of us. Uh Union. And I know that

God's plan for me is above and beyond my own imaginations. Look, it's

some one of the things shoes that or the sham downs on to me shouldn't

be. And if God is such a faithful God, and no matter how

many times I have fallen, he is still there for me now to me

down things. Shoot. Uh. The same God who is with me is

the same God who will be there for you no matter how many times you

have fallen. Shot the book sing us. If God is so faithful to

us, how can we not be as faithful to him? Praise God,

God, Thank you Maggie. Wow. You know in two days ago I

said about how the love of Jesus radically transformed Saul, who used to be

a prosecutor of Christian to being now appall proclaiming his love and the message of

the Cross. You know you've got by being people to do do the same,

so that since that have legs, because you were transformed by the love

of Jesus, therefore you had the courage to be radically obedient, to serve

in where he called you. So the second one is session. I hope

you don't mind, cion. Our session came to know the Lord. This

year su has a thing in Taikangan sinzu Jesus in sua uh Lou Lou year

housing he kid. Wow, she remembered twenty fifth June. This year she

gave her life to Jesus, Praise God. Now let me give her context

when she first got saved. The following Sunday, I think you asked one

of the leaders if we can recommend a church in Seramban, because you stay

in Seramban, whether you can worship in Serromban or not. You must understand

Paul was a spiritual parent to the church in Corinth, So when he wrote

to the church in Krinth, he wrote in the capacity of being a spiritual

father. So when sorry sorry translation, go ahead sing to the girl into

the because evening footeing. I must actually know that, you know, when

I look at Maggie's story and the I'm gonna share with you her story.

Sometimes being a parent, right, we we want to shelter our kids,

you know, because we feel that oh it's so hot for them, so

difficult for them. We wanted them to go through the hotship. And it

is out of love, right because you you you care for them. Agreement

just a woman around ham But the Lord told me that you know what,

let them go through their moments with God. No no, no mamas and

was also around Hammon. You concern you because he can turn and three moment

into a mouse stone, like a memorial for him. Even it's young man

eating John Hanson's cigar. So I compelled when the request was made known.

I I don't always do this, but with conviction, I told one of

the leaders, I say that Zusian was birth in and true act church.

She is like a new born baby to us. It is our responsibility to

care for her. It is our responsibility to fit her with our milk.

So so do you think that's a limit to the wonders? You can sow

thousands or you can't into the young. Well, it is always convenient because

we have friends in Surramban, we can recommend good churches in Simba. It's

it's the easiest way to do. It's okay, conqueror ju woman's lot put

in my heart to say that if she is a new born. How do

we share our dna? How do you we share our conviction to a newborn?

So so how do you found like the sidney minus and you can sing

the in high down the sus you wait about her? So then the following

Sunday she took public transport from Srumban just to worship together with us in Neli.

And of course this is your whole family is not a Christian family,

and you're the first one in your family being a Christian. And we can

always imagine what the parents will say. You had to change and down at

tagans sing to the case curse. How the charan can share with us back

then when it was related to you from Sroumban to Nelai, How do you

feel and what caused you to want to come from Thrumban toneli uh kind of

heart looks? Who just chong jally doubt? So is a yan like too

far? Like the challenge to me to come from Seramba all the way here

is to follow the public transport schedule, So I have to wake up extra

early to follow that schedules in the leader I or but then but to me

because of God's love and my love to its Actually, I don't think it's

a huge challenge to me Jesus uh the je magasin yo too far? That's

shaman just wlso each the So even this morning my parents were my family were

asking me the every Sunday, if you wake up so early and travel all

the way here, is it all worth it? But to me I can

tell them with confidence that it is something that I like and I want to

do and all these are worth it. Amena Twoman as well Ditail women or

Truman also little she didn't halt her down elf that grab like that. So

what I need to do is to leave my house at six thirty to six

thirty morning, uh for every Sunday six thirty morning to reach the train station

by seven uh so that I can take that train over to kat m and

then take the grab over to here. And just like Meggie in a typical

situation like this, how much how much does it cost? You? Look?

Also your son grab dons her the jud chin who is outside quite to

you. One way trait from my house to here, it is fourteen ringing

just for one way one way, so two way will be about twenty eight

so around there and uh, I'm sure It's not easy for you as well,

because, as you mentioned, your parents also did ask why are you

doing this? You shared your reasons, just like Maggie, what is your

encouragement to all of us? You know, because there seems to be a

culture in all churches these days that people no longer put church as a priority

in a Sunday and when situations happened in their life, when commitment gets bigger

in life, church seems to take a secondary or placing. So, as

you are very new believer as well, what is your encourage wishman to old

people like me? Uh, all of us, is to encourage us to

to remind ourselves why why church comes first on a Sunday? H unscripted,

unplanned? Because answer it will come from the hut mm hmm. Look,

just as I seem to change her seems to okay, downward runs the way

son or or the sunhr mean chairs or that I saw the itch he the

to me my life before and after I know Christ, there is a major

difference before. Now that I have known Christ my life, I know that

it has a clear purpose of what I'm doing. But before that I was

just following blindly of what I'm supposed to do and just following the yeah,

the motion, okay you suside down wout her continuous pint or the lead Okay

she did you how down to how? So that's a sensi thing. So

how your eager has a pay or it she do go to each each year?

And also now that I've known Christ, if ever I meet any challenges,

I know that there's a God who is there for me. But before

this I will only rely on my own strength, and the results may not

be what I have wanted as well. Praise Scott, Yeah, yeah,

mention Scott. Now there are a couple, there will be a couple more,

but I just want to share with you some one hundred and thirteen.

It flows from the beard, no explows, from the hate beard, all

the way to the garment, Tong told Tong, who in the context of

us radically being obedient to the Lord, it should always start with the leadership.

Megan is a homes leader all the way to our latest baby, sending

Woman's Ary magazine the word baby. I'm so sorry I shouldn't call you our

latest baby, because if people don't know you gave your heart this year in

June, they would thought that you were a long time Christian because of how

you have served so fervently. Okay, bring us also in high when sings

to hunt you good Josh. All right, we have ladies goals first man.

Now the guys also have to say something. Come Josh used to be

with us as a campus student in ib G, spent five years here.

Josh has eating government has a goverment hate that. Now it's a teacher in

a place called Klang. I mean also not personally seem like Maggie. There

is an ex church literally five minutes drive from where you stay called ex claimally

opens on a per ex claim Josh is from my homes, Josh. The

chatting Friday traffics are key less, basically magas into one face on the size.

That's why when we drive we have to proclaim, lot, you are

the resurrection, you are thelive So you know moments food for I need?

So what makes you serve in NLI which is a radical decision instead of choosing

a more convenient option, which is ex claim okay you need tissue. Okay,

So yeah, this is a testimony. Uh So, Basically the context

is as teachers under the ministry, we we cannot choose which school that we

want to work in. Allow just Paeton for so the only choice I made

was I choose because the reason was I want to be here in Ely,

So just change the defamed the defense but is huge, So it's it's very

big. The possibility of me not being able to come, it's so large.

So it doesn't you know you're around world a male shelter. So after

I graduated, the pandemic came. It was during the pandemic season. So

I was back home in this is my hometown, eating fast and will be

of course eating fasten type. And I mean it's not easya. You know,

I have to pray like God. You know, it's very uncertain the

future. I do not know what will happen. Where would I be?

But this is just my desire. Do you do soutch hold to what the

thing is. So when the result came out, I got Cleang. That

was a passion. Yeah, clan, it's about clan one. I would

write forty minutes from sixty four kilometers away. He counted sixty four to be

specific, sixty four km await, okay, time It depends on your driving

for some people, twenty minutes for some people. Yeah, So I immediately

when I got the result, I searched on Google Maps the distance and the

time. So so hold would you that would pay patch? And so to

my son Google, man, you can't because to be honest, I asked

myself, if I get Corlas Langon, which is like one and a half

hours away, I wouldn't consider coming back here. Just sing look glass honah

austral you can of break out that down in my foods. But I saw

it was one hour. I was like, you canni single tongue. I

don't know, I don't know ye, So yeah, I decided, okay,

if it's this is I mean, it's being obedient, you're not going.

So what made me say? It's got calls for this season of time?

Then I should obeying some time? Sounds so who's food? Praise Scott?

That mentioned Scott Scott. Pray for Josh. He's waiting for his ministry

to give him a transferred results very soon, so we're praying together with him.

You wait, you sho the teeth out. Even so, Jarry,

have you seen how many of you were blessed by his leading of worship today?

You said that worship spirit, So that's because you have lived your life

radically obedient to the Lord and the Lord lesses and annoying that as wellliness as

Dennis to come up, Dennis, just to show examples. You know we

have Neila is an educational town. Now okay, so people come, people

go, they come in first year, they graduate, then God will send

them elsewhere. So you just looking have a be away. Recently he told

me that when he is going to apply for his doc, three choices to

work and apply for government posting? Which one come number one? The reason

Milan, the Greeds and Milan, which is the state where Neelai is right.

I'm blessed by it because sometimes we have students telling us I don't know,

I will pray and let God show, which is nothing wrong, nothing

wrong right, God show. But there is another breed of students who is

bold enough to make a radical decision to say that God, I believe you

called me here and my first choice is here. Why do you do that?

Uh? Anyway? Or Kanda leaders Hama Makian Jan how Jian Makian hung

deep how yes, Sir han Chan Uh? Sorry? So because the reason

why I chosen Agre Milan is because I've seen the leaders how they've wrote,

modeled it and to dry with us, to wake up super early just to

pick us up from school to church, and also have taught us a lot

of things. Tom I I've learned what is love through the leaders. So

you always sanjen life. So I want to be like them to serve in

XT life. Praise a lot. Thanks, Thanks Denis. Thanks. You

see the example flow from top all the way to the bottom. So it's

not about us being a leader. We are expected to make radical decisions.

It's about role modeling so that the next generation catch it. So you need

you eating out, so you told me you pay you coming up very quickly?

Ian, come mumbo, I think Ian? Here we have Ian one

day okay, Ian stays and studying neili Yu, which is probably about three

km from here. One day, I kid you not. He was the

first one arrived here about eighty am. We were all so shocked and we

asked Ian, how did you come here? And he told us he walked

from his campus three km just to be here. Ian, share with us,

why did you do that? Why didn't you call us? We could

have just you know, pick you up? To be honest. By that

time, when I came here. I had been facing some challenges, but

all in all, I I like the I like athleticism, like some doing

some exercises. So by that day I so by that day I just I

just decided, I say, like today, let me try to to go

from Nilai Ni to Nili Springs to see if it's possible. Then I tried

and it worked. Yeah, praise Scott. I love what he shared.

To try whether it is possible, we call all things are possible. Amen.

Now I know that your senior gifted you a bicycle because he couldn't sole

it off and he couldn't sell it off, and he decided to bless you

with a bicycle. And whenever Ian is serving, he built cycle. Sometimes

from Nila Yu to Hear three km he will change to Sunday best after church,

you will see him change to his treak, what the band, his

shirt, and he'll go to his bike to cycle back. Because I think

two or three sundays ago, some guys were following me to lunch and I

passed by where you were cycling. I w I wound down my window and

I say, hey, all right, so tell us what drives you to

to pay the price to cycle when you know the most convenient thing to do

is to call any one of us, right and you know as a church,

we will gladly support you by providing you a transport. So what drives

that apart from at the litism? For me again say that they are people.

They are people who they they face some different challenges, especiality the healthy

challenges. So when I look at myself, then I see myself like I'm

healthy enough, So why not why not come to church by any means?

Because I remember, I remember before before getting the bicycle, the senior gave

me the bicycle. By that time, and by that time he gave me

the bicycle, I didn't know how to use it. Yeah, I didn't.

I didn't learn how to use the bicycle at all. So I was

thinking of selling it. Yeah. So but then I after staying for some

time, then I realized before selling it, because I even announced to people.

So by that time I'm waiting for a person to come and show up

that he wanted to by the bicycle. I had to say while waiting,

let me learn how to use it. Then by the time I learned it,

it was it take me. It took me like two three weeks then

I be able to use it even on the roads on the way. So

by after learning the bicycle, I I don't not say that I get more

interested to use it. So I I can't say the plan of selling it

and say okay, it will be my property now. So so I just

had to use it as one of my means of transport here to church,

because regardless of what I'm being through, if I'm healthy enough, that means

that I can be able to be year by any means. Courage, Scott,

I was sharing with my leaders. He came in two feet. Now

he came in two wheels. In future you'll come in your own four wheels.

Amen, Praise the Lord. Now, what is your advice or encouragement

to people who at times feel that transportation is a challenge for them to come

to church? Because obviously it was a challenge for you as well. You

managed to overcome it got provided for you. What would your encouragement to do

us forward? I can encourage you is that if if you're facing, for

example, you're facing a challenge like mine, for example, if transport is

a challenge, then you can just read you can read the book mark chapter

twelve and thirty, which is says that you say that love God with all

your heart. Yeah, love God is all your heart, with all your

soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. So if

you're if you are young like me, and you see yourself like you are

healthy enough, don't don't try to see like other challenges to limit you to

be away from God. So through that you can you can be able to

to use what you have to glorify God, and God will multiply you.

Amen, thank you, thank you. Yet wow, can you see the

trend of when people catched it the blessing will flowna would you lose your Sometimes

it's not about how long you have been in church, told you, because

we can be long in church, but we don't align to the unity.

Tell So it's about aligning to the unity of the vision and the heritage that

the Lord has given to us as a church her either like she do.

So when Paul wrote to the church in korenthe h he was reminding them why

unity is important is always some of her and he draws them to the message

of the Cross, which is Jesus himself just Hamma like Italian, since he's

not just a year the deeper. Soon it is Jesus who have brought us

together. So yeah, so tiling omen amen amen. So I continue Part

four the following Sunday. So now what is this? Says people? Because

I felt today really led to ask all these people their story, because often

the stories are only known among the leaders. Even though you can sow not

intend the picture shoots. Many of you that I didn't call out also have

your own story. If I were to line them up one by one,

we will go back tomorrow how much chamber and maintain because God is so good

and what really drives us is the message, and the love of Jesus is

somor she's so so years to the I We hope you've been blessed by this

message. For more information on our church, please visit acts Church dot org.
