sunday sermons

what I learnt from Covenant today:

that it is as important to love Jesus first as it is to serve Him rather than be consumed by ministry alone; Some people can do all the work for God only to find out later in their life they never really had a relationship with God. And some people like to find out all there is about Christianity, only to have this head knowledge remain as head knowledge. I am inspired to once again focus on working on this love relationship all over again.

plus he gave a very good outline of Revelations 2, but bible knowledge is not what works for me. Being able to apply what is written in the bible is.. and taking action to do necessary things is, and I guess it's only conviction and inspiration from God that provides the empowerment to make changes and be transformed.

What I learnt from FCC today:

- that it still feels like family, nice and warm
- that I don't really take to the Gospel of Thomas. Like please lor, we don't even know the bible inside out. And that reminded me to really know the bible inside out so we can make a more discerning decision on what is accurate and what is not. Sure, they are non negative sayings and some of these sayings have good intentions and I do want to widen my knowledge beyond what is written in the bible. However, I do not want to do that just for the sake of doing that. I like to be able to relate all these to the word of God and how it draws application back to my life and the lives of others..
