How can god bless our church? 2. use everyone's language
Use the languages of all people in the church to communicate God's message. When the disciples spoke at Pentecost, everyone heard in their own language. Likewise, a church should utilize the talents and abilities of all its members, not just a few. True Father initiated movements across many fields to promote spirituality and peace for all people.

This fulfilled a prophecy that the Messiah would be called out of Egypt. Joseph then settled his family in Nazareth according to another prophecy that Jesus would be called a Nazarene. Though their lives faced difficulties, God had a purpose and plan in moving Joseph's family.

A light has dawned seth gatchell december 9 2018
Both Isaiah and John describe Jesus as the light, who comes into a dark world. Darkness has three important usages. It is descriptive of (1) the fallen world (2) our human nature that cannot and will not see the truth of God, life, and human nature, and (3) the willful refusal to turn to the light, to do what God tells us to do. Jesus, the light, is the answer to all three usages of darkness.
20121216 - moving quickly
The document summarizes the story of Jesus's birth according to the Biblical gospels of Matthew and Luke. It describes how Joseph and the pregnant Mary traveled to Bethlehem for the census, where Mary gave birth to Jesus in a manger. Angels announced his birth to shepherds, and later Simeon and Anna recognized Jesus as the Messiah. Wise men from the east came to worship the newborn king, and Joseph was warned in a dream to flee with Mary and Jesus to Egypt to escape King Herod's order to kill male infants.
You Are the Light of the World
Why does Jesus call His disciples "salt"? What are the functions of salt? Why does He mention "salt" before light? What are the characteristics of light? Why does Jesus call His disciples "light"? What are the functions of light? Why would anyone think of hiding their light or placing their light "under a basket"? How, practically, does a Christian "let their light shine"? How does light shine from a follower of Jesus? Where does the believer's light shine?
Living The Dash
The document discusses living life to the fullest by focusing on what's most important rather than getting caught up in urgent but unimportant tasks. It advocates living passionately, loving completely, learning humbly, and leaving boldly, as exemplified by Jesus. The "tyranny of the urgent" makes people slaves to instant demands rather than focusing on vital long-term goals and relationships.

Experiencing victory God’s way
1. God will never forsake his children, even when they disobey him, as demonstrated when he continued to help Israel after their failure to properly attack Ai.
2. God can take the mistakes of his children and turn them into positive results, as he used Israel's original failed strategy against Ai to deceive and trap the city's men.
3. While God gives the overall plan, he allows freedom within his guidelines to develop specific strategies, like how he let Joshua plan tactics to take Ai but kept the overall framework.
The Preparation for Jesus' Ministry
John the Baptist baptized people in the Jordan River and proclaimed that Jesus was the Son of God. When Jesus came to be baptized, the heavens opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in the form of a dove. After being baptized, Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness where he was tempted by the devil but resisted. Afterwards, Jesus called twelve apostles to follow him and help spread his message, giving them the power to perform miracles.
Gospel of Mark: Glory - The Transfiguration
Jesus took Peter, James, and John up a mountain where he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white and Elijah and Moses appeared and spoke with Jesus. A cloud enveloped them and a voice from the cloud said "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!" Jesus gave orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until after his resurrection and later healed a boy with an evil spirit when the disciples could not.

Saving souls, including one's own soul, is of utmost importance.

It emphasizes avoiding distractions, applying purpose, connecting disciplines to direction, and developing a first-hand faith through obedience and spending time with God.

A Puzzlement
Jesus teaches with confidence in the synagogue in Capernaum, surprising the congregation with his forthright style unlike the usual religion scholars who quibble and quote. When a man with an unclean spirit interrupts and yells at Jesus, Jesus rebukes the spirit and it leaves the man. The people are amazed at Jesus' new teaching and authority over evil spirits. After leaving the synagogue, Jesus heals Simon's mother-in-law of a fever and that evening heals many sick and afflicted people who come to him, commanding the demons not to speak because they knew his true identity.
Oct 26-Nov 1-08 Ordinary People
Jesus chose ordinary, flawed people as his disciples. The document lists seven mistakes the disciples made, including having a short-sighted vision, falling asleep when they should have been attentive, trying to preserve the status quo, competing for status, engaging in partisan politics, and plotting against enemies.

Jonah the runaway prophet
Jonah is assigned by God to go to Nineveh and warn the city of its wickedness and impending destruction. However, Jonah rebels against God's command and flees by boat to Tarshish. A great storm arises at sea threatening the boat, and the sailors discover through casting lots that Jonah is the cause. They throw Jonah overboard, and he is swallowed by a great fish. After three days, Jonah prays to God in repentance. God then commands the fish to vomit Jonah up on dry land, and Jonah proceeds to Nineveh to deliver God's message as originally instructed.
Everyone Makes Mistakes

It encourages readers to identify their own mistakes, confess them to God, release themselves from guilt, and appreciate God's compassion.

Old Testament (OT) Journey12-14 v. 2

This document contains notes from a teaching by Joyce Meyer on July 25-28, 1996 in Modesto, California on overcoming a "wilderness mentality". She outlines 10 different wilderness mentalities that can keep people stuck in a wilderness instead of entering into the Promised Land. These include thinking one's future is based on the past, not taking responsibility, wanting everything to be easy, grumbling and complaining, not wanting to wait, jealousy and comparison, stubbornness and rebellion, blaming others, not feeling worthy of blessings, and pitying oneself. Meyer encourages developing the right mindset to progress from wilderness living to Promised Land living by trusting God and His timing.

This document tells the story surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ. It describes how he was born to die for the sins of humanity, with shadows of the cross already upon him. It explores the intrigue of the revelation from angels to shepherds and Mary, the politics involving King Herod and the wise men's gifts, the power dynamics as Herod seeks to kill the newborn king, and the unexpected nature of Jesus being born in the unremarkable town of Nazareth to ordinary parents.

This previous Sunday was given opportunity to share from the Word of God from Mark 3:20-35. Main message was to Christ followers whom are wondering if they are saved and if there is a secret formula. Jesus said that He has won the victory over the strong man (evil one) and hence already has control over the earth. As long as we are living in faith doing His will we can be assured of His forgiveness, and of remaining in His Kingdom. Isn’t this something to be Joyous over?
Eternal Life Planted by Streams 120524 Bangsar LC.pptx
Today in BLC I shared from the scripture 1 John 5:9-15 where we looked at the author assuring us that when we receive Christ in our lives, we received eternal life. And if eternal life already started for us, we can live life with confidence doing the will of God. The author also assured us that when we pray according to His will, He hears us and will answer.
How do we know His Will? We then went to Psalm 1 the Psalm for today. We learnt to delight in the law of the Lord and be planted as a tree by streams of living water.
Let us do these things as a family together, and continue on serving Him with assurance.
We closed with the song Be it into me according to your Word.
The Encountering Jesus Process 140424 Bangsar LC.pptx
This morning I shared from Luke 24:36b-49 when we are in the 3rd Sunday of Easter. I focused on us paying attention when Jesus comes into our lives, encounters us, spends time (eats) with us, enlightens us then shows us how to exit our comfort zones to the people around us.
Let us follow his process and share Him to the world around us.
Whoever serves me must follow me 240324 Holy Light LC.pptx
Message from John 12:20-33.
Today’s message started with gentiles looking to meet Jesus. However instead of welcoming them, Jesus taught a lesson to his disciples, and from then to his readers and followers today.
If we want to meet him, to follow him, to serve him, it is going to be costly.
Like the first Palm Sunday when people who support him chanted Hossana as he came into the city, yet fled when he was captured and tortured five days later. We need to be prepared that serving him is not going to be a bed of roses.
We can expect opposition, challenge, pain, even unto death.
Are we ready to serve and follow?
We need not search anymore. We know whom we serve and what he wants us to do.
It is time to share his kingdom to the world.
Remember his journey this last week of his life: suffering, death and resurrection.
Remember our own baptisms, and continue to seek him to know him.
How?
We ended the message with the response song: Shepherd of my soul, Only He can guide us sheep as a shepherd would.
God bless you this Palm Sunday!
Look to the Cross 100324 Bangsar LC.pptx
oday the 4th Sunday in Lent, I shared the Word from John 3:14-21.
Summary. We find it difficult to follow Christ in our lives nowadays due to competing priorities and too many distractions. The Word reminds us to look up to the Christ to remember how God showed his love to us. This season we continue to remember that Jesus lived, died and rose again as part of God’s plan to save us all.
Being his Kingdom people, we need to continue walking and staying in his light, that we might continue to live lives that show the world who God is and who we are in his plan and Kingdom.
We closed the sermon with the response song: Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you.
Is God's temple a marketplace 030324 Christ Centre LC.pptx
I shared from John 2:13-22 with the topic: Is God’s temple a marketplace?
Starting with the premise that we are all different as people and all have different ideas about the best way we live life. We try to be efficient, effective, economical, successful… making the most in life.
However, in the Scripture, Jesus made it very clear that God’s temple not meant to be a place for convenience, success, making money, etc. The temple first and foremost is where we meet with God.
Today, the temple is not some venue we go to or a location we visit. God is with us via the Holy Spirit. How do we treat our temples today? Focused on ourselves? Want to live well? Do well? Enjoy life? First and foremost it should be focused on meeting God.
Seek Him first and all the others will take their place accordingly.
Are we prepared to suffer for Christ 250224 Holy Light LC.pptx
Today preaching from Mark 8:27-38 with the topic: Are we prepared to suffer for Christ?
The gist is we have our own ideas about Jesus and how our lives will be when we follow Him. Peter knew He was the Christ but was wrong in his assumptions of what Jesus’ roles and responsibilities were.
How about us? Do we think life will be nicer and have less challenges when we follow Christ? We will be wrong. Following Christ means putting ourselves at the back. JOY. Jesus first, Yourself last and Others in between.
Jesus promised us challenges and suffering when we follow Him. Are we ready to follow Him? Have hope and faith. In this season of Lent we remember that He suffered and died. But on the third day He rose from the dead and was victorious.
We will suffer but in the end, we will be victorious with Jesus.
Ready to follow Him? Let’s walk this walk together.
We find it difficult? We sang the response song God will make a way, to remind us who we should depend on in this life.
God says listen to Him 110224 Bangsar LC.pptx
I was given opportunity to minister to the BLC family via the message from Mark 9: 2-9 on Transfiguration Sunday.
From the passage, we did not go into the mystery of the transfiguration but focused on what Peter tried to do and what God said to Peter and John and James.
Peter tried to do stuff for Jesus, but God told them to listen to Jesus, His Son, His beloved.
The learning from this scripture for me is to slow down trying to do things for God, but to obey Him first, which is the command to listen to Jesus. How often have we tried to take things in our own hands, to control our lives, before we take a breath, slow down and listen to what Jesus has to say to us first?
Whom is this Jesus 280124 Holy Light LC.pptx
Glad to be able to share from Mark 1: 21-28.
Today we learnt that Jesus is the person to follow and obey and rely on for He is the Subject Matter Expert of our faith. He not only teaches with authority but acts with the power that accompanies that authority.
For us today we can live our lives and faith with confidence in the one we worship as He is the one we worship and it is His Kingdom we are citizens of.
So whatever we do, when we study the Word, when we pray, when we serve, we do it with utmost confidence in Him who sits on the throne.
Come n See Jesus is calling you today 140124 Bangsar LC.pptx
Today at BLC, was given the opportunity to share from John 1: 43-51. This was when Jesus called Philip, he followed. Then Philip called Nathaniel and persuaded him to Come and See Jesus. Nathaniel had doubts but was amazed when Jesus spoke to him. Jesus then promised him even more amazing things in life when following Jesus.
Some thoughts to go home with include:
1. Did we had a direct encounter with Jesus like Philip? Or through someone like Nathaniel? Think back and recall our own experiences
2. Whichever it was, take the opportunity today to be like Philip and Nathaniel. Share our lives with others, and invite them to Come and See.
3. Can we do this consistently? Only by the grace of God.
Accepted by the King 070124 Damansara Utama LC.pptx
Entitled Accepted by the King, we looked at Mark 1:4-11. We learnt from John the Baptist that:
1. We are to prepare the way for the Lord;
2. We make a difference and point to Jesus;
3. We play our roles
We also learnt that even as God acknowledged Jesus, we too know our identities as citizens of Kingdom of God, whom can play our roles as witnesses well as we are assured by the King.
As we start the year off, we do our parts as a family:
1. Pointing to Christ
2. Be part of Christ’s family
3. Be filled with the Spirit
4. Remember our baptisms
5. Continue to know the Lord
6. Play various roles
Sharing Christ to the world 171223 Holy Light LC.pptx
Being the 3rd Sunday of Advent, it was the week of Joy and as last week, we read about John the Baptist (John 1:6-8, 19-38). As he answered his questioners that he was not the Messiah, but was preparing the way for Him, John reminds us today:
1. Remember who we are and who we are not;
2. To share our testimonies as part of our preparing the way of the Lord;
3. Evangelising if done the John way, is done during corporate worship, practised again and again, sharing our stories, to inspire one another
We share by telling:
1. What God has done for me (My Story);
2. What God has done for us (Our Church community’s story); and
3. What is God doing for the world today (Current Story)
Preparing the way by pointing 101223 Bangsar LC.pptx
This 2nd week in Advent, I shared from the book of Mark 1:1-8. During this time when Christ followers around the world know that we need to emulate John the Baptist to be a prepared of the way for the coming of Christ, what shall we do?
In a nutshell, my suggestion based on the passage was to:
1. Be a difference in the world;
2. Make a difference where we are;
3. Be a positive change;
4. Point to Jesus as the source of that hope, peace, joy and love that we bring to the world
Then for it to be meaningful pointing, we pray that Jesus is the majesty in our lives, that He is such a big meaning and impact in our lives such that when we point to Jesus, it is evident who we are pointing to.
God bless us all!
Obey in faith as we wait for the Lord 191123 Holy Light LC.pptx
Sharing from Matt 25:14-30, we looked at the Parable of the Talents. As an example of how the Kingdom of God works, we parallel it like the world today. Where bosses and teachers naturally reward those that see the same vision as them and raise who works hard for them. They then punish those that do not sing the same song.
Similarly, the Kingdom of God works like that process:
1. As Jesus’ disciples, we need to seek the pleasure of the Lord,
2. Utilise the talents or gifts given to us for His purpose,
3. Follow the Lord’s values and purpose;
For the warning is clear: those that do not live as the Kingdom of God requires, will not enjoy the presence of the Lord, and disqualifies himself from the super abundance and buried himself from the joy of the Lord!
Are we following Jesus today?
Preparing for the coming of the Groom 121123 Bangsar LC.pptx
Matthew 25:1-13 on the Parable of the 10 Virgins.
In this time and age when we are told in Matt 24 to keep alert and keep watch for the Lord returning, the question I ask myself is not am I asleep or awake, but am I prepared?
The 5 foolish virgins were so not because they did not anticipate the coming groom or that they fell asleep, it was them not preparing an extra flask of oil when they had to wait a longer time that anticipated.
How about us Christ followers today? When we first followed Him, we were on fire, passionate, ever ready to serve. We were preparing and were prepared. But as time passed, are we getting tired? Distracted? Have we stopped preparing and started focusing on having what we want in life?
Don’t get me wrong, doing what we need to do in life for a good quality of life in itself is not wrong, but be wary lest we get distracted from preparing for the Lord’s kingdom come.
How do we stay in preparation? Live in anticipation of his coming. Do good in the world. But beyond that: share the Gospel, and make disciples of all nations…. How do we make disciples? That is for another message. Til then, God bless you all.
Should we pay taxes to the emperor 221023 Holy Light LC.pptx
We dont see the need to give to those that dont deserve it. Regardless, authorities over us have a purpose. As best as possible, give to them what are theirs, be it respect, obedience, effort, time, etc: eg parents, employers, governments.... but remember all belongs to God, so always put God in the foremost of our thoughts and actions... what does God want in any scenario?
Talkers and Walkers 011023 Holy Light LC.pptx
Jesus questions the authority of the chief priests and elders when they question his authority. He tells a parable about two sons, one who says he will work but does not, and one who refuses but later helps. This parable illustrates that those who do God's will, like tax collectors and prostitutes who believe John the Baptist, have more authority than those like the elders who only talk but do not act on their faith. The message is that we should search our hearts to see if we are talkers who only say we follow God's will but do not act, or walkers who at first seemed unlikely but are advancing God's kingdom through their deeds.
Community Restoration The Jesus Way 100923 Bangsar LC.pptx
Today was Youth Sunday as I shared from Matthew 18:15-20 at BLC. Today we are reminded from the reading just before this that we are to be like children, trusting in the Lord and His message. Also we are reminded that Jesus puts those that are least and most vulnerable as priorities in His Kingdom.
The main points from our reading today:
1. We live as a community to be an example of God’s Kingdom
2. We have issues, and we must resolve them following Jesus’ way
3. We strive as a family to resolve relationship issues for the restoration of the community
4. How the church functions speak as a testimony on how the Kingdom of God should be
So, strive to serve and act as a example as a community of believers, not as individual superheroes.
Service in the Body of Christ 270823 Holy Light LC.pptx
Shared from Romans 12:1-8. Reminded myself and congregation the following:
1. It is God’s mercy which was the first step, worship is our response;
2. We need to allow God to transform our minds to see His perspective, or else we will be following the ways of the world ;
3. Be careful of pride, lest it makes us forget we are the followers of Christ and not the other way;
4. When we serve, we do it together as one body;
5. We also serve according to the measure given to us, there is no need to compare with others
Rest Trust n Recharge in the Lord 130823 Bangsar LC.pptx
This morning in BLC, I got to share from Matthew 14:22-33 under the title: Rest, Trust and Recharge in the Lord!
Main point was that when we get tired striving, we try many of our own ways to rest and recharge, but they are all inadequate without the presence of Jesus.
So we just need to remember that as followers of Christ we get true rest from Jesus’ presence, and we learn also from Jesus’ example to recharge in the midst of ministry.
More from John Cheah, CAMS (20)

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

- 6. Matthew 2: 13-23 (summary) • Fulfilled – prophet Jeremiah: "A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled, because they are no more." Herod died – angel appeared in dream to Joseph in Egypt – instructed to go Israel – threat is gone • Joseph got up – took the child and his mother – went to Israel - heard Archelaus ruling over Judea in place of father Herod – afraid – warned in dream – went to Galilee • Made his home in a town called Nazareth – fulfilling what prophets spoke: "He will be called a Nazorean."
