Sat Service Notes_14 Feb

I took down some notes/minutes from Rev John Sim and there were some really good gems. I thought i share them with you all.

1) Great attitude to love God’s word – equivalent to loving God with all of our mind.

2) Cornelius’ problem with the Jews have not deter him from knowing God
What do our colleagues and friends see in us? What do our colleagues and friends see in us? Like Cornelius, people hope to see a Christian friend. People want to see us handle work with passion, enthusiasm, Christian ethics, hope and fear.

3) We are privileged to know God who lavishes us with so much grace
The world is searching for God. People are looking for church to provide us that.

4) Each one of us must experience spiritual reality for ourselves. Spiritual reality has got to do with belief in God and your walk with God.

When is the last time you heard His voice? It is something we need to reclaim and restore it in our lives. We must be passionate for God’s word if we want to hear his voice.

Key to spiritual growth is training, discipline and your heart. We must be mindful to guard your heart

5) Peter is ready and, thus, was used by God to reach out to Cornelius. Thus, the divine encounter took place.

6) Be an example to others when reach out to other people.
People don’t need to know what you fail. Don’t tell people about the bad news.
Instead, share with people on how good God is. People want to hear how good God is, how he has helped us. People don’t want to hear any more complaints, like everyone.

God is good. Say Good morning to the Holy Spirit.

7) Don’t be like Peter and be judgmental. There maybe something that you dun like but dun let it hinder you.

8) Sometimes, we are anxious and miss God out. Sometimes, our lives are filled with problems and frustration. Maybe our hearts are weighed down by the anxieties and our ground is not saturated by the Holy Spirit. And, because we are anxious, we miss out the things that God is working at. Perhaps, his plans and purposes are through the problem and through the people that God brought to our hearts. And we come away defeated.
