to type on your fulness its point for today. Your faith is not empty,
-
so Santiago than you Karntians. Chapter fifteen was fourteen sorry Girlingti and show
-
shown sits yet the postle Paul wrote here to the people in Korean, and
-
if Christ is not reason, then our preaching is empty and your faith is

A girl in that founder searching short rod to May of four woman Shachuan the

faith. So tied about time he seeing lining. So put your palm into
-
your chest and say I have faith. Do your banny the soul? What
-
do you found any The Shunghoan warrior seeing seeing declared it out faith it's not
-
empty s yeah, puts ran. So first point, your faith is not
-
empty. Second point, your faith has a size the scene seeing yours.
-
In Matthew chapter seventeen, verse twenty, it says, so Jesus said to
-
them because of your unbelief. For as suredly, I say to you,
-
if you have faith as a mastard seed, you will say to this mountain,
-
move from here to there, and it will move, and nothing will
-
be impossible for you. I might have should dandy or shore, Yes,
-
uh should in niman the scene since yah nimanro you're sing since eli tide zone
-
sansho knee chinaman mayor et and bona toward the shilla. So this is in
-
a context when Jesus was away. A dad brought his very sick child to
-
Jesus's disciples take a painting question. Yes she like a tit and the ka
-
nan should has you about have faith chu pinzon the tied out year. The
-
disciples tried to pray for the child, tried to command healing, but the
-
child wasn't healed. Yes with the mantona too like she sankata counter tu tzuka
-
hids yeah pay like she eat cousin. Eventually, when Jesus came and joined
-
the crowd, Jesus could heal the child in Favery. Bible says that a
-
spirit of epilepsy was cast up from child. You should say yes tad life
-
without take a ta uh jo ta hides it. So prior to this,
-
the Disciples were sent out by Jesus two by two to go to different towns
-
to preach the gospel and also to heal the sicky fashion tician Yes, high
-
HiPE tadamuntumn like she uh like she eat. So the disciples was obviously curious.
-
Lord, we have done what you have commanded us. We saw results
-
in the past, but why is it that when it comes to this time
-
round we couldn't cast this spirit out? Now Montu man you were yes to
-
show an ovation momentician also eng the mayo kantiyona, Well, I love Jesus
-
answer. He just gave a direct answer. He didn't beat around the bush
-
faith years to the Hawaii with her faith sounds to the deer the Hawaii.
-
He just say, because of your unbelief, tameo just one. So I
-
had to sing since not one unbelief basically means a total rejection of truth.
-
That woman shot out boos. Seeing this, then just type tainly that means
-
one simply refuses to believe one him young sing. Jesus didn't say because of
-
your doubt, Yes, hameo so eway need the Hawaii Jesus didn't say because
-
of your like a faith Hameo soway need just a chuir fast sing sing.
-
Doubt basically means a part of your belief and a part of you still feel
-
unsure that it is doubt Hawaiian even needs is young seeing the cousin he has
-
too yoso about, so I believe it's a total the rejection. So a
-
down woman. So that count just type out lunch and county. And then
-
Jesus says, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard
-
seed rajona, yes, would you show a nymnro you're seeing sean elite tea
-
tide don or I live this part because Jesus's minimum requirement isn't it high anyway?
-
Yes? So they are eighty ya hunty. However, you hear you
-
have seen a mustard seed, can't it's a very small sit so faith,
-
don't I didn't say if you have faith as big as a Durian seed mango.
-
Oh, he didn't say if you have faith as big as a mountain
-
him it was sansiant. You compare a mustard seed to a mountain, you
-
will know the difference in it's huge bah the tia tied zone. How your
-
bashan the eager yeah, they would have got tells us that if you have
-
faith as small as the mustard seed, you can remove mountains because it's something
-
to your show down down in the same thing your son elidia tight zone.
-
Yeah, NIKKOI is like she know ye down. The promise that comes with
-
it is nothing will be impossible for you light on the eichh not to show
-
mayor eian ship. So the second point, your faith has a size.
-
Why do I say this is because when Jesus told his disciples, he compared
-
faith to a mustard seat, which has a size show down. When the
-
sing sings to you had the task untum astrona even years to had your bad
-
sing sing bu it's and dear tired one, how your her tashan? Where
-
is your faith this morning? Ninian sin sin tinale. If you were to
-
put a size to your faith this morning. Size would be the sing sing
-
it's an eager tash out nah need to tash. I pray that every year
-
your faith will grow what our count of may Indian need the scenes into kajana
-
for guys that when we reached atain age, we hope our waistline will grow
-
smaller osa every year the tree the four smaller, smaller, smaller. So
-
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In the physical we we want to
-
be fit Ooman the sentin. But in the spiritual, if you want a
-
faith to grow, faith has a size. It should grow from small to
-
medium, to large, to extra large to as large as you will your
-
faith to be. Na woman just the sent because moment is ruling sound like
-
yes, like she's a put it turns down on the same ask you who
-
determines the size of your faith? That's the way I wanted to say,
-
like she's needs Stasha. I think it goes both ways. Found me in
-
that I have a believed that number one I determine in the size of my
-
faith. So saying well the deeper snya like she like she's think the same
-
number two. I believe God will give me the grace to believe in accordance
-
to my faith thinking years took or Niger Untian like she's because we cannot deny
-
that God also give people a certain measure and certain gift of faith. Well
-
email like she for red Nashuaka and she gave Niger Sing Sing the fund.
-
So it goes hand in hand. So it's a pink see that as I
-
believe, God will also give me that to believe. The kay or like
-
congest young season. Why because faith comes by hearing and hearing of His word
-
ay ay sing Sing should like tint or lie. But when that's faith really
-
grow? When do we really apply faith? Because the ten woman you're actually
-
seeing woman the same thing. It's coming to church an application of faith is
-
coming to prayer service and application of faith that woman lie where the whole supper.
-
You're young woman telling a woman the same seeing partly, but you and
-
I would know dead your last testimony that you have seen God seeing you true
-
is not about coming to church because then her world you ho e gus yo
-
the Tian turner pushes any number about coming to homes. It's about you truly
-
believing in the world of God and applied into your contexts applied into your challenge
-
to Sunnibasana, who are you no jul like she untuswa she funk any girl
-
and the truth teen. So in other words, faith can only grow when
-
you embrace challenges in your life. Na Tibiana sing sing to nut seem need
-
he out and as the whole China tan town. So faith grows with every
-
challenge. So seeing since any mega ti out and down, it is the
-
truth and reality in life that as you remain on earth, there will be
-
challenges. Nazaire woman who that it's just not water. As a whole way,
-
as Christians, we cannot deny this reality. Time woman say it used
-
to Jesus have really four warners that great trials and tribulations will come away yea
-
son hi teen sting commenting who your hun dad, But he says, be
-
of good share. I have overcome the world becauson that how you showed up.
-
But we are hoisting a way in avoid eating tangents. And you further
-
read the book of First John. It says that you really have that faith
-
that has overcome the world. Rajah down you're the scene seeing tod gola she
-
uh doesn't soyo the shitty. So faith grows with every challenge, so seeing
-
since then, man and every challenge prepares us for the next one. Same
-
pay woman. So you probably remember King David. Can many associate King David
-
with Golaia g a funxisy. So he was the only one who stepped up
-
in a time when the nation of Israel was facing a crisis. He stood
-
up, He confronted Golaia had hold you that way, just that way,
-
had sense she like she meant, because you probably would have heard about this
-
before before. Golaia was the lion and the bear. That just exactly.
-
Titian sh how your datas what is it? Man? It basically man,
-
before a bigger challenge comes your way, there will always be a smaller challenge
-
that prepares you. It prepares your character, if it prepares the demonstration of
-
your faith him or Undada tianician a penny, Actually it's Tony any Chia need
-
David. Challenge doesn't stop with Golia that way, the taker Tiatana puts sing
-
exact if you think Golia was the biggest challenge that David has ever faced,
-
Nolia that way teenage push because after Golaia was King Saul. Anyway, girl
-
alcohol. King Saul was so jealous of David that King Saul wanted to murder
-
David. Now Salo wanda have face chunti tow. In fact, King Saul
-
throw a spear almost killed David. Nah Salo had you nana sangwei tadan you
-
have sas if you think King Saul was David's greatest challenge. No, David
-
was running away from King Saul in the wilderness. He had many enemies that
-
pursued him. Now hold that the quane made your face und older and older.
-
He had another challenge called Absalom. Absalom was his son, and his
-
son committed treason rebel against him forcefully took his kingdom. Now hold used tawe
-
wunder the earth tattoos to like yeah, na yeah. The Bibles says David
-
is a man after God's own heart and that God loves David. Cous email
-
town staring must understand that, yes, God loves David. But yeah,
-
David was not immune from challenges in life. I want to downt uh faith
-
chaldersna pay just so every challenge that comes David where he applied faith because he
-
told Goliah, you came to me with spear with sword. But I come
-
to you in the name of the Lord. She tall and had seen saying
-
how you're gonna nazi and what was the painter years with me? So being
-
a sense application of faith in the Lord, not sation lima church, how
-
lan i've seen seeing me give you a context gaining a painting bull shit.
-
So we say that that's you've cam coming up. Now show us the price
-
is three hundred and fifty three ring game point zero two cents. Now just
-
sandpite which the sand lanty. It's the exact horse, not just uh one,
-
just a thirteen. That's so chair, that's take a fair young.
-
The church is not making laws, The church is not making profit. Is
-
breaky win jiahuana should may or twenty equatian that you should say you must understand
-
that not too long ago, I was once a campus student. If we're
-
walty, put the chien oh dash I came to the lot when I was
-
a campus student. Dash it. That's the whole nurrancis. And one thing
-
I always tell myself, finance will not stop me in doing the things of
-
God. Well understand here us city tincien po quite tien the full shit.
-
So likewise for campus students here you really want to go for cam and you
-
feel that you know, finance is a concern. Let me tell you from
-
my life, from the life of people here, God is bigger than our
-
finances. Und you think point because yeah, watery hire woman's he will provide
-
send how go in here's faithful tash faith chung sin. But we've got to
-
apply our faith because someone how new woman is singing faith in God. The
-
sing sing so you know to me, one of the measure to really test
-
a faith usually it's finances. Yeah, just a face chun. Don't go
-
yeo like she do. Often finance will tell you where your heart is face
-
chund whole the tincient you real like she wait woman the SI teaching about finances.
-
Jesus himself said, where your treasure is there your heart will be.
-
You cannot serve God and mamon. I don't know how to pronounce memon.
-
That means you cannot serve God and money jaid years to yo. So neither
-
sinternal need the putterally need the singinale because if you're think three hundred and fifty
-
three ring gate point too sent and is expensive. Let me tell you as
-
you grow in life, as all our adults here will testify. One day
-
you will need to pay a bill of three thousand. Oh yeah, I'll
-
just say you will need to purchase account of probably thirty thousand. One day
-
you will need to perhaps buy a property of three hundred thousand. Because if
-
your faith if being tested with three five three now, and you fail to
-
respond when the bigger bill comes, will you be able to stand the test?
-
How nation Tian just rug the sandpite ll to sand land. Don't yo
-
eye, she gaves san chin quiet young, don't see Sandpitian san Juan dong
-
donga. So remember with God, all things are possible. Anyway shan has
-
to uh one should don the shin So. I remember when I was a
-
campus student during summer holidays, three months I worked sho should I worked for
-
three months or and in my final year of UNI, I didn't get allowance
-
from my mom because my dad moved on in my dad passed away. That's
-
how I came to the Lord. And in that one year of final year,
-
my three months of salary is able to cover everything to tie or dash
-
your should yea the go. I remember during missions conference back then in the
-
year to oh two five that long ago? Wow, eighteen years ago?
-
Yeah, not too long ago. So there was a call to raise missions
-
fun national hall. Okay, well not curry like she uh futa and to
-
your Indian that's like a fair young and now the whole year. Yes,
-
so I gave it an amount. Now I'm gonna tssue some principle of giving,
-
but you got to apply faith. So I gave an amount. That's
-
the whole word you telling. I never told people the amount or me a
-
conrad, but today I can tell you the amount. Okay, it was
-
eighteen years ago. It makes a Supanian as a camper student, I gave
-
five hundred just cry I gave to missions. Fine spani she earl sid coming
-
to November December two or four. Yeah, take money that I worked for
-
camp. Of course it would it will. What do you call it deplenish
-
if there's such a word. I depleted helping lord, not the whole town
-
way. This is hound. I never to anyone, and I finished my
-
final exam. Really the next step it's basically applied for a job, now,
-
k shincho. So one day you're my mom, oh Mama, say
-
I know you're looking for a job. I've banked in some money to help
-
you in your pursuit of a new job, kay, kid you not I
-
didn't tell her the amount. I didn't tell anyone the amount except for eighteen
-
years later America, she banging five hundred. How did you sustained me for
-
three to four months before I landed my first job? Or just stand out
-
by a lot of things that matter? Fifty You can buy a lot of
-
things and start into the supermarket with a trolley empty fifty ring game you can
-
go out with a full trolley und honey, then like a twenty to a
-
month probably come out with what the trolley or have trolley, depending on what
-
you buy. Yeah, can RUGANI van twenty? What the question mine?
-
How could you sign at so faith? Small challenge? Bigger challenge? So
-
seeing shouted like so many of you know that I bought a house here.
-
Yeah, it's really fright. I start paying my installment last year, found
-
so two times now the Central Bank raised the oka. Wow, she teas
-
anagger, NAGALSI so the installment that I paid last year China, So last
-
year. The difference this year is amounting to close to three hundred monthly just
-
Chinian. Okay, that's because so that it's happy yo ti ye sandpi quiet
-
faith right sincing faith sincing faith sincing. What I'm saying is there well the
-
ship. As a campus student, I was tested sunway just what your patient
-
time. As a young working many times I was tested to give as well,
-
Sayian teen santas who paid actually function and you don't. There's a principle
-
about faith in my opinion that I tell myself I cannot remain in the same
-
size of faith seeing the un turner so took a leadion makes about every year
-
my capacity to believe has to be a mania no ta. So if we're
-
comfortable in giving two digit break to the three digit, from the three digit
-
break to the fourth digit, four digit break to the five digit, it's
-
like okay, you just put on family and again us for the gala ea
-
uh just a way. So we must understand that every digit prison, every
-
ad on digit presences an opportunity to extend the size of our faith down the
-
towny like you okay, either side to put on the way it should come
-
to type you around or turn down the way this goes. You can apply
-
this in everything so it's not just finances. You can apply to time as
-
well. Now that don't see put the time you seeing put on the family
-
and younger to some people, I can only give one hour in ministry a
-
week. Good, make sure you're one hour count now you're serious or eagerly
-
by gay eager hours like to make one scene in your nager because different people
-
got different capacity. You go back with the parable of the talent five to
-
one, or you one have five talents and not everyone have one talent.
-
Evey maker and two thounds and things, show that you're her eager time you
-
apply this right instead of one hour and lunch your faith for the give two
-
hours, three hours, four hours. Tiny it just shouldn't go okay,
-
okay, So the faith has a size and the size can only grow depending
-
on how you face the challenge. Had a task? She round being back,
-
how many you want to grow your faith further? Yeah, she turns
-
down. Need the scene don't maintain at the level where you are contented,
-
but we are about to tiger need you the hunt shoe, food of the
-
drunk pie, grow and much the capacity and large, yeah, size of
-
your faith. She turns down need the same sin passia. So let's appreciate
-
this like we should continue to grow our faith and not remain statement rounded the
-
same scene turned down purposes through thirteen to the Drunk Pie, nineteen years walking
-
with Jesus, sit YONIONNSA two Their days can tell you, I feel very
-
statenant NASA your word true teen to Drunk Pilot. I felt I was at
-
level where I was just contented. What's it to down there? Or you're
-
easier to host the facetun truthful? And then as we can to reflect on
-
my life, reflect on my conversation with people around me, I hope to
-
give you a few points on why at times we remain at a particular level.
-
Now, why I was just a gun put horns, just a downtowner.
-
Okay Coalsoni way sum your tigger, you're ending round on true tirteen to
-
the drunk Head. First one is there At times I find myself not willing
-
to take risks to come out of my comfort zone when there is an opportunity
-
to grow and learn something that goes beyond my current talent, skills and experience.
-
So siena ductioner or Fasciana water shutage, she not just your sorry,
-
yeah ta or the social and the ut Susie warmy what the team hold.
-
So stegnancy comes from when we are too comfortable to a point where we don't
-
embrace opportunities that often are divinely presented to us. No no, just uh
-
woman to Tyger tunshen gal woman, she turned down the Shomon like she a
-
woman. She thought Moses was found at the backside of the wilderness. Most
-
she sits, well, take a quang ye ton Tyger toms haudimen uh like
-
the Homan. When God appeared to him in the burning bush and says that
-
you will lead my people out from the from Egypt into the promised Land.
-
Moses actually gave God tons of reasons why God should pick other people. That's
-
the whole nation needs. Like a run you mos tiling water, run me
-
na Gaela. He says he's not eloquent enough seeing just say he started when
-
he speaks. You know, if God were to move on and look for
-
other people, Moses would have been there. Real goner fancy, mostitues are
-
better, and she told how their more SiO young and liuta like a quangy
-
and image under in. As much as God selected Moses should help. Moses
-
still need to make a decision. After you know, consulting God and God
-
say no, you will be the one. Moses still have to say yes
-
Moina hat city. So so you realized that when Moses led the children of
-
Israel out down Arnie more seeing Haled, she tiling easily at the main true
-
life. He needn't do a lot of new things pass out to face hung
-
hun door seeing the city, because think about it, he is leading a
-
few hundred thousands of people kind that's sung one that year and had a tiding
-
ham a true life and it requires a lot of skills. That's a face
-
hung to a teen hung. He will also need to learn to trust God
-
to navigate around the wilderness high since she as seeing Howson like she hunted a
-
kwangy don't true life. Sometimes we don't grow. It's because we are being
-
too comfortable and not in a place of high dependency on God. Her no
-
sun a woman to put me to the teway that she turned down, sitting
-
woman face hung true that is used the hunting towntown yo true seeing Howson that's
-
a good life is all good, but it's life all God just to show
-
down a woman's and hood. That's a sound of face under a sum in
-
downtown trim put your Howe's Christians. We don't leave our life like Lord,
-
I depend on you for oxygen today the oxygen is going to be there.
-
Woman, we can depend on God for higher things. Women, Yes,
-
Sinkhausen, that she gave what young because those who are physically well depending on
-
oxygen maybe a lesser dependency compared to the person who is in the hospital.
-
Graf sping for air now is a higher dependency on God. That God.
-
You feel my lungs right now? No woman, just runner kind of woman
-
that young she found me a may or, Sinkhausen. The number to workers
-
coman Sinkhausen is that's all. We leave our life with no anticipation of what
-
to expect, no looking forward to a break through the whole many way mayo
-
three way like you rant her the cheap hanya mao two poor you and her
-
the cheap hand. So I say that your faith is not empty, saying
-
was sure ma, and the thing with faith you can do great things towards
-
learning to a kung donas the devil knows that with faith you can do great
-
things. Uttering un go to often calm and deceive you so that your faith
-
won't grow, because she knows that when he deceived you, he can defeat
-
you, say na Ura, she so put on the hwangi and she's cheap,
-
and we had to down hwangi and the singeing to wait and shot.
-
So I feel that as Christians we need to consistently leave our life having a
-
forward looking meaning you anticipate God to break through in certain areas of your life.
-
So it's a way Tito too woman, you're like she's Yang's cheap hand
-
a certain way way woman like she put on a two poor If it is
-
in the marketplace, ask Scott to break truth for you in the marketplace.
-
The one Golini like way way need tilights going so easy daily to go in
-
and out of office without any anticipation. So faith sound roganil teens need going
-
to the way then her the teapan. It's so easy to go in and
-
out of campus without any anticipation. Yes, your faith sound wrongy the needs
-
I need a tas just time to run her the teapan. Why sometimes I
-
remain statenant also is because I ten to live with milk, which is foundational
-
teaching instead of meat which is solid teaching no way samana or choose use a
-
way to t team to the trunk China or high school like shenting so nice
-
here her deepened that is here hua chowta, so exquisitions. We are meant
-
to grow in the world of God. Woman who ranchwai to the family.
-
God says that we should no longer partake in milk, but partake in meat
-
solid teachings. So now are you show down tantan ecal nice use nae ban
-
the ned zone. Then don't teach child to be diligent understanding the world of
-
God, applying the word of God. So five points very quickly, how
-
do we grow a faith? Oh God, just around sing sington chang fun.
-
First, it's focused, so tuanzu. Second Harintians five seven, before
-
we walk by faith, not by sign tackling to a hopinion tin. I
-
want let you know that faith is also a journey where her couss name you
-
shouldna sing sing exolution. Often in this journey car faith, many of us
-
can get distracted her no show down monta singa uh to a fancy Many of
-
us can get lost along the way. Woman like she type of her own
-
chan whole fancy. So Yanda remained in this journey of faith. We got
-
to learn to keep our focus. Una was that yea woman to focus on?
-
What focus on this journey called faith? Focus in Jesus? Yeah,
-
like she Tranta Tranto tie woman yes to see. When Jesus appeared to the
-
disciples in the middle of the sea walking on water, they were all afraid.
-
Said now yes way him and Shang Sindo hyper back. Then Peter says,
-
Lord, if this you call me out so that I can come to
-
you. Nashalona Uh Peter hwy sure to question the Huatini holds outward and the
-
lots say come, and we know that when Peter stepped out of the board,
-
who walked towards Jesus the world God says that the wind was boisterous,
-
the wave was high, and as Peter looked towards this, he began to
-
sun Na nas who year but nae soon to board house young young j Uh
-
Peter do cant Cantianasian high lank high parlor. It's easy to be distracted to
-
faith HUNTI and Banana she paid fancy. When he keeps your eyes away from
-
Jesus, it's easy to sing now masanien lea kaye to the city the whole,
-
no woman huai kaish You know something's in this journey of faith. We
-
things may not necessarily necessarily go your way her no shotlement, no city the
-
east or we have a preceived idea of how God should come true for us
-
eager tty sien yo the tiger. We have an expectation of how God will
-
answer thirty eager tea pans. We have this timeline that God must answer eager
-
took us. And when God doesn't turn up, When God doesn't show,
-
when God doesn't blast, we often will feel disappointed. Now when mayor rule
-
when they eat actually eating woman or like me currently I'm being additional three hundred.
-
I mean I'm not the richest healer or to one. Uh stand by
-
qui God, you told me to buy this. I bought it, but
-
you didn't tell me. You know, in a few months time, I'll
-
pay additional tree and for money. How so, I juan, why the
-
stand by? Quite? Keep focused? You see, I could have should
-
I could have just focus on Lord wire whire or should I focus on God?
-
You called me here, you encouraged me to plant here. I believed
-
in you. You provide it for me, and I will focus that you
-
will continue provide for me. Now what cusians unto are you with somewhere where
-
cousin Kaians certainly like she GOI like lied out, took a two te nasally
-
might a Yeah, I know, studying in Eline for some may not be
-
your office choiceler because what look like this not even a big cinema and nils
-
to show I may not be of first choice. Maybe it could have been
-
your second, the fourth choice. But you felt that, you know,
-
God, you called me here in Nili to study, to work, to
-
stay, to do whatever kan need mayo sang outside and lie out to leader
-
and you feel that maybe there's a certain disappointment that you know that didn't you
-
have certain plans and he didn't turn up well. Basically contrition need three.
-
Don't focus on these things. Yeah, like you know that your happiness is
-
pretty much determined by your focus. NAE need the kai neither sinking or pay
-
just a true time need internale. How many you recently get a new got
-
a new car. How many of you you have a desire to say that
-
you will get a new car and you'll use the new car to serve God.
-
So why are my seeter around? You do want just an A segment
-
or a B segment car, right, You want at least a minimum C
-
or D segment. My so basically us a difference. A segment is the
-
smallest car as you grow to D is a very big segment just to put
-
on her. So focus right to I still have that desire to use my
-
car. You guys know that you call me, I'll be there to pick
-
you up. Even my record, my previous Proton Vira seven people each who
-
runs her many many years ago, and the next the driver one is me.
-
I think that the fall behind war, we all survived the ride.
-
I see some parents here their eyebrows. It was a short distance again,
-
okay, why do I say this? Focus journal faith? Yeah, my
-
time of serving here right. I can tell you that often one of the
-
greatest challenge in ministry. And as much as I love people, it's also
-
people. Well, Cassoni man Sarin were face hang, I uh becausid It's
-
true. Recently a brother says, whether I can teach him project management,
-
you won't walk away. You are truly easier to say project management, right,
-
I say, project equals to people. People equals to problems. So
-
project management is uh just yeah, okay, just a tan Uh yeah,
-
truly it didn't sitting the actually quant easiest ran the quandry anyway back to car.
-
So I got a car surf people. I can tell you in our
-
time when I go pick up campus students, they are never on time.
-
Well also on a time and pattern E mean teas Are you wait for them
-
ten minutes? Yes? Science offend. So I cannot help but feel we
-
are being taken for right your whole Now we'll do it. You can't woman
-
paid champione correct, I say, won't let it all out. I gotta
-
choose your focus. So so you guys care what I mean? There are
-
days where people don't turn up as you expected them to be. And then
-
how would that affect yourselving montized affect you from contributing your resources and your car
-
to surf because the whole nor high sh l Yeah, there are days where
-
your car may be clean, but when people leave your car, you'll see
-
street wraps. Now you see plastic bottle, thinking that there's a driver cleaning
-
the car for them. It's a hold on. There's hold on that's happen
-
as a can canting ol lose any mean right if anyone. If you're feeling
-
this, don't worry. I'm not beshing. I'm just saying we got to
-
choose our focus because that's pp easy to focus on the emotions of disappointment frustration
-
rather than focusing on God. I'm doing this for you now, Yeah,
-
I'll found the ui. I'll do it for joy the right. All the
-
discipline issue can always be topped up because some people they don't know better,
-
maybe all their life, no one has told them to be punctual before conta
-
the one, Tina, and you'll thank you for that. Have you tell
-
them than having the boss tell them one day? Can't say any meaning like
-
you Cama, sure how, I'm sure it's true, guys. So faith
-
hung share that very quickly. A action faith without action, faith without work
-
is ding dong. So I really like this quote. Moved that the only
-
spirit give me but a faith equals to pray plus action. I really need
-
to say this, tom. So we say is that let's go for mission.
-
Well, so when I am my situations, yea, it's easy to
-
pray. You know, I'll pray for you you'll go, you'll go.
-
I'll pray for you to actually turn up for mission. All right, so
-
let's go to another one. I want to share with you what having slength.
-
It's very good at this one. This from my life experience. I
-
draw up from here. The difference between fantasy and faith is action now just
-
a meaning. This habits that you, seeing Tom live by faith and not
-
by fantasy. Pacing who opposite fantasy means well, one day I will do
-
this, one day, I will waitness to people, one day, I
-
will serve one day, I will contribute one day, one day, one
-
day, one day. Fantasy. You don't see what is more important?
-
Is there now? Because so for twelve years, y'all know this, I
-
travel in and out subang nili, subang nili, subang nil just a certainly
-
those subania that all these wonderful leaders also travel the same. Yes, it
-
makes it a live way. So it requires a certain level of faith to
-
even travel early in the morning to come to church. Yeah days to come
-
to church to easy YEPPI in the scene seeing that it's not easier, guys
-
stander. So this quote was given to me at the point when I was
-
deciding God raly, Are you know what I mean? Who buy this apartment
-
here? That's the whole no wire like she sang has and say yes,
-
he confirms it in his word had the Hawaiian eman, Yes, w before
-
you just show down? No wahwai like she uh, that's when the word
-
comes runs And all these years you have been traveling, just your show down,
-
no yin towneman, or how do you show needs? A chin eats
-
a light way? Time to up your faith? Since I like she con
-
turns down something that causes you to depend on me, depend on me even
-
greater j like she is your sitting then go around me. I say,
-
God, I don't live by fantasy, only by faith. What your guns
-
show like she pins a huns young where she pins, singing, Oh you
-
know what is in your mind right now that you feel it's a fantasy,
-
but when you take action, it becomes a reality. Her I say,
-
one, can I have the cookies? Yeah, let me tell you the
-
cookies that I'm not pushing for sales. Yeah, you're a buy as the
-
Lord leads you. But let me share with you this This is not just
-
faith, this action. Take herping gan singing, you're seeing dona the IPG
-
people here was precious students. They would have just say, okay, I'll
-
have faith, pray to raise funds. God will provide. But they chose
-
to demonstrate their faith by taking action or ministration and done painter aware they were
-
singing singuma e passing. Don't need talatin shit action sing dong. So they
-
use our harm They use our album. Last week, they bake, they
-
pack, how do you yoomand take a harmner that she to tone ling.
-
She thought a girl, I survive. It's also a demonstration of faith faith
-
without works. It's date right, so I survived. It is a work
-
I survived that happened to shake a sing tong Engway. Now don't the end
-
outcome. It's for people to also come a step closer to know Jesus Engway
-
Niger niga diego come door and go runs through that years too. Many of
-
you don't know this, but let me share with you. Since January to
-
July, in this church, we have seen at least twelve people coming to
-
know Jesus. Fifteen okay, now it's fifteen. You may not see them
-
every Sunday here, but these people are worn outside of church. Nan you
-
have for omanis are your girl en the se this precious people are still being
-
follow up on, being cared for being um having that space to grow their
-
faith in God. Koni seeing she run of Haman Hammon to women and bait
-
are ye. The last year when we had an ice survived for the campus
-
in Siamen, China, take a, I survived the whole. A girl
-
came unition light up. She came for the tour Maggie and different leaders who
-
were connected with her Julio like she heard her lancy and across the months she
-
came on and off as a pre believer Sana just a way facing to allied
-
right Maggie will so connect with her. She joined our recent alpha cut a
-
long long story short. No one led her to cries, except that one
-
day when I was cheering right, because usually communion will say that, okay,
-
communion is for believers only if you're not a believer, refrain from partaking.
-
So nasahona just to put nc nah you're Eatiana San like she tyling had.
-
She thought like a jill down your eats the wall like she tling.
-
Satan saw her partaking the Holy Communion. After service, I asked someone to
-
check whether she fully believed in Christ or not. So when I think probably
-
Maggie went and checked Nash. She told Meggie that actually I received Christ as
-
my Lord and Savior last week at the end of Alpha Nasahona, what you
-
kind out had like chilling, So rajo you madia had you one hash,
-
I sang a sin to the alpha, sing to of course, like all
-
life, we are all working progress. Because you now Woman to high satire
-
patient can sing that the celebration is that personal decision in wanting to believe Jesus
-
as a Lord and Savior, because it's the one thing the Niger n cursed
-
senior like she uh party wasn't an emotional decision. There's no musician come up,
-
play a keyboard, play or guitar. It was just a decision where
-
I want Jesus for myself. Niger, I think pus a true you,
-
was a true you take a ching to take a thing. So why do
-
I share this? I survive. So I want us to understand that in
-
the activity we do in church and outside of church, we only do it
-
with one purpose, and that purpose is to sik, to seek and save
-
the loss. Now, woman tax, she's a total woman like she around
-
one means easy as a ipg. I I didn't hear a lot of things.
-
But they also need to keep their focus. Now she's a her quote.
-
Probably there's some disagreement. Probably there's like a wine we must do this.
-
Hey, why should I give time this and there on the right thing?
-
Wait? Like she just way, I always nut okay real quickly.
-
Last three points in what God's word? So faith comes by hearing and hearing
-
the word of God and the Hawaii No, it's focus speaks of your eyes.
-
Action speaks about your hand and feed. Invoking God's words speaks about your
-
mouth. Going down to the zuma. The show hurts you out. The
-
woman basically means use God's word to take authority over your situation and embrace that
-
challenge with Gods. With yen. Nazi gained the chenp like you. But
-
sah, you know Fountain is footing Nanny corect quickly. Next will be trust
-
good from three five to six. Trust in the Lord with all your heart
-
and lean on in your own understanding, in your ways. Acknowledge him and
-
he will direct your path. Journey is Rudi sound either show me Danny just
-
sounding our renting path happy. Do you need a loop? So you got
-
to trust good in your situation. So yeah, ye young. Trust is
-
built across time see encounters that it goes is built in a relationship, Jenny,
-
the seencounters that Quan the beauty of our relationship with God. He can
-
be trusted. Now, woman you shake a quan sinas the theo says here
-
trust with all your heart. So now your shown you sing yang So if
-
I sla. Focus speaks about your eyes, what you see, how you
-
see. Action speaks about your hand and feet, because you can't really take
-
action without this too. In woking God's words speaks about your mouth. Declaring
-
God's word. Saying Truss basically speaks about your heart. Trans nurse to the
-
c and Zina sing don't that's pull the woman that now you hawaiianas is the
-
woman the tway bassing how to this a woman is seeing? So to have
-
faith in God, basically you got to engage him in every faculty of your
-
body and your being. So saying woman ya you shan your singing Nohana kirk
-
apooven to ya paid you. If you say you have faith in God,
-
let your works declare it Ruaniani tason. You're singing nohuana naw you seeing don't
-
that? She seems your life. If you say you have faith in God,
-
like your language, your conversation shows it. Rus singing needs the yen.
-
So yeah, your gonna type out singing uh last one Holy Spirit.
-
So certainly I'll be the first one to admit to you their days I gave
-
up. Well, you gonna need him by what's your funci the their gays?
-
I tell myself it's not worthy anymore. Your son so puts the days?
-
I tell myself forget it. La Oh you go this so used the
-
whole h How mae have you felt that before? Tell yo, those are
-
in good times. This won't be my conversation. This conversation usually come during
-
bad times to type out what tom Ton well face detailers. This conversation only
-
come when things are not moving. No, so not just a sitting may
-
of fat and to help the conversation on came when there's conflict. This agreement
-
just a townman, you're easier, just a rent hounded to how I attendance?
-
These only come when there's a lot of under appreciation. You can't see
-
a war, don't see war? Who's the water. So right, yeah,
-
yea, what what you mean? The main fact I'm not easily man.
-
So basically when it gets more challenging, just a tendency to give up,
-
it is higher dun kuna like that yea like uh like fun that's like.
-
But we've got to thank God. He has given us his spirit,
-
the Holy Spirit living in us because menciation the invasion, gay women, let
-

-
why you're still here today despite setbacks after setback, struggles after struggles, failure
