Pastor Bobby

Theology affects your world view in turn influence how we conduct our life.
Starting from Genesis, Concept of providence - Milard .J. Erickson
1. God preserves his creation  ------ (sermon focus)
2. God is directing his purpose.

Preservation

# Col 1:17
# Heb 1:3 - uphold the world by his power
# John 10:27 - My Sheep shall never perish

Fear not

# Roman 8:31-38 - Who shall separate us ?
We are in the hand of the mighty God
# 1 Cor 10:13 - Fight against temptation.
He is preserving and protecting.
Paul conqueror in Christ.

Pastor Aries

# Psalms 5:3 - NKJV : My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look.

# Psalms 5:3 - ESV : O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and.
   
Expectation precedes Miracle
Paul prepared himself for a miracle.
Preparation sets the precedence for that miracle.
What are you doing ?




# 2 Chronicles 27:6 : So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.
# Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

# Proverbs 15: 33 - NKJV:The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, And before honor is humility.
Hearing God's word and obeying.

Noah given warning, have not seen flood before yet believe and proceed with instruction given.
Once in 5-years torrential rain strike Jakarta, although there were previous flood warning - people are caught unprepared.

# Psalms 1:1-3 - NKJV :Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
    Nor stands in the path of sinners,
    Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
    And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
    Planted by the rivers of water,
    That brings forth its fruit in its season,
    Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

Are you prepared ?

# Proverb 4:20-22 - God's medicine bottle.
20 My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.
21 Do not let them depart from your eyes;
Keep them in the midst of your heart;
22 For they are life to those who find them,
And health to all their flesh.

# Proverb 21:31 - NKJV - The horse is prepared for the day of battle,
But deliverance is of the Lord.

# Mat 3:1-3: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
Prepare the way of the Lord;

# Exodus 2:23-25 - NJKV - Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out;

# Pslams 50:15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify.

Story of a farm worker who is able to sleep soundly when the wind blows.
In summary, are you prepared to face for the storm when it strike unexpectedly ?

Identification in Christ



PK-Sermon-2Feb13

Identification in Christ

To show proof of identification e.g. Birth certificate, Passport, driver’s license
It is an official identification, to be shown when demanded, like wise there is Spiritual identification.
Gal 2:20

Your identity is important!
Some associate identity with their:
-Job-and when one lose job he goes through an identity crisis
-Celebrity
-Race

Our identity is greater than our job!
We are a Spirit Soul in a body.  A brand new creation. 2 Cor 5:1
Col1:27 – the mystery that ‘Christ in you’ have been make known.

Just like Lake Peigneur disappearance, our past is swallowed and there is no trace like a new creation.

With Christ:
-Roman6:6
-Eph2:4-5
-Gal6:14
-Gal2:20

Many voices tell you who you are. Know your location and you will find your direction
Saul to Paul. ‘S’ was kicked out. Phil 3:9. “Found in him through in faith in Christ”

Know your identity
1. Find yourself in the word of God
-Luke 4:17-18 ,21
-Eph1:4
-Col2:9-10-complete in him.
“In Christ”, “In Him’, ‘In whom’

2. Indentity with what Christ has done for you-radical change
[Christ]-head-attached-to-body[Us]
In death, burial & resurrection
See walk stand – Eph

3. Confess ‘In Christ”
What God has done for us in Christ
Who we are to God in Christ – 1 Cor 6:17,19,2Cor 2:4
What God can do through in Christ

Prayer meeting 5Feb13

1Cor13:11 – Spoke, Understood, Thought
1 Cor 7:31 Form of this world-way, behaviour (^reflect)

1 Cor 10:1-13
1.       All under the Cloud
2.       All pass through the Sea
3.       All led by Moses
4.       All ate and drank identical food and drink
Yet God was not pleased.

Take heed!

Be faithful in good times! Don't take things for granted.
