God Pitched His Tent Among Us - John 1:1-14David Turner
The document discusses Jesus as the Creator and how he entered the world to save it. It makes several key points:
- Jesus, the Word, existed before creation and was present during creation, as the Bible says he created all things.
- Though Jesus created the world, he was not recognized when he entered it. Even his own people rejected him.
- For those who received him by believing in him, Jesus gave them the privilege to become children of God, regardless of heritage or following religious laws. This is the only way to become a child of God.
- So the Creator entered the world as a man to live among us and save the world he had created, though the world did

- Christians are also called to be sojourners as we dwell temporarily on earth and await God's kingdom.
- We should focus on serving God rather than pursuing earthly possessions or pleasures.

Message for this new year reminds us that from John 1:1-18 that we are called to point to the light, Jesus Christ.

The Word existed eternally with God and was God. All things were created through the Word. The Word became flesh as Jesus Christ and dwelt among humanity. Some received him and believed in his name, becoming children of God through faith rather than physical descent. The law was given through Moses but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ, who revealed the fullness of God.
The Trinity refers to the Christian belief that God exists as three persons in one entity: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. It is a core concept in Christianity, as it is the basis for all Christian beliefs and is explained by Jesus himself. While the concept of the Trinity may seem contradictory, the Bible provides truth and understanding about the connections between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Though one might be poor by the world's standards, no one is as wealthy as the person that has placed his trust in Jesus Christ. Free PowerPoint Download at http://BibleGuy.org
I am sharing about how being connected to Jesus, who is the Word made flesh, is a powerful connection for living an abundant life. We can receive abundance, blessings, etc.
This document contains three passages from the Bible. The first passage describes John the Baptist witnessing about Jesus, who was the true light coming into the world. The second passage discusses that Jesus came to his own people but they did not receive him, but all who believed in him were given the right to become children of God. The third passage reiterates that grace and truth came through Jesus Christ and that we have received grace upon grace from his fullness.

The document discusses the many spiritual blessings that Christians receive through being "in Christ." It explores seven key blessings mentioned in Ephesians 1:3-14: 1) the blessing of holiness, 2) predestination, 3) adoption, 4) redemption, 5) forgiveness, 6) grace, and 7) being sealed by the Holy Spirit. For each blessing, the document examines what it means for Christians. It concludes that all these blessings are given by God the Father, through the Son, by the Spirit, so that in everything God may be praised.
This document provides an overview and analysis of key themes and teachings from the book of Genesis. It discusses how Genesis gives vital information about the origin of creation, life, man, marriage, evil, cultures and more. The document emphasizes that Genesis refutes false philosophies like atheism, pantheism, and establishes that God is the initiator and creator of all things. It also explores what Genesis reveals about the character of God, mankind's purpose, and the nature of the world.
The document provides an overview and summary of key themes in 1 John. It discusses how 1 John emphasizes walking in the light through fellowship, obedience, and love.

This document provides an overview and summary of the ACE Men's Bible Study on Ephesians for the spring semester of 2015. It includes:
1) An outline of the key themes that will be covered in Ephesians, focusing on how God the Father planned the church, God the Son paid the price for the church, and God the Holy Spirit protects the church.
2) Excerpts and summaries from the first few chapters of Ephesians, emphasizing themes of God's grace, election, redemption, and sealing by the Holy Spirit.
3) Guidance on walking in the Spirit through true confession, dependence on God, and patiently resting in the Holy Spirit as we live out our purpose and
This document outlines steps for spiritual growth through believing, acting on, and confessing God's word:
1) Believing God's word means trusting in the truth of scripture rather than circumstances.
2) Acting on God's word involves obeying what scripture says, like Peter walking on water at Jesus' command.
3) Believing and acting on God's word brings salvation and blessings, as when the jailer believed and was baptized along with his household. Confessing God's word through speaking it aloud can help manifest promises.
This document contains excerpts from the Bible and writings of Ellen White discussing Romans chapter 5. It summarizes that Romans 5:1 begins with "therefore" to link what comes next to the justification explained in preceding chapters. Being justified by faith means being made righteous and in line with God's law through Jesus. This brings peace with God, which can only be found in Christ. It discusses how faith is trusting in God's word to accomplish what it says. Jesus is the living word of God. Being at peace with God through faith in Christ brings access to God's grace, and causes rejoicing even in tribulations, as tribulations produce patience.
The primary theme of 1 John is fellowship with God and Jesus Christ. It encourages believers to love God and one another. Those who love God will walk in the light of his word. The apostles enjoyed fellowship with God and Jesus, and wrote about this fellowship so that others could experience it too. True joy comes from walking closely with God in the light of his word.
Preaching according to God's heart, Follow the will of my heavenly father => ...franktsao4
When we preach, if our goal is to make others understand the content of the preaching according to the world’s methods. Is this God’s will? In this chapter, we will discuss from God’s will, from salvation, to love, to the establishment of faith, because only by increasing everyone’s faith can there be the possibility of indwelling Jesus Christ. Only in this way we can achieve preaching purpose. This chapter is to try to explain how it can increase everyone’s confidence through preaching.
This document provides an overview and commentary of 1 John 1. It summarizes that the author was likely John, writing around AD 85-95 to counter false Gnostic teachings. 1 John calls believers to walk in the light through true doctrine, obedience, and devotion. The commentary then analyzes verses 1-10, noting that God is light with no darkness, and that walking in fellowship with Him requires living free from sin through confession and forgiveness.

There is hope in the Lord 090624 Bangsar LC.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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!
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.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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.
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?
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.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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?
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.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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.pptxJohn Cheah, CAMS
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.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
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
