This document is the bulletin from Gospel Baptist Tabernacle in Rossville, GA dated October 22, 2014. It contains scripture passages and teachings about obeying God, building one's life on wisdom and understanding from God's word, finding joy in fellowship with other believers rather than sinful people, and trusting that God will fulfill his promises if one obeys him in faith. The overall message encourages obeying God's commands out of love rather than resentment and trusting that he will supply all needs and bring joy.
The document discusses the differences between human fathers and our Heavenly Father. While human fathers may fail us or not prove their love, the Heavenly Father will never fail us and has shown his love through sending Jesus. We become children of our Heavenly Father by being born again through believing in Jesus. The document encourages communicating with our Heavenly Father through prayer, as Jesus taught, and listening to and obeying him.
This document discusses finding happiness through wisdom, understanding, and obeying God's word. It encourages living by every word of God as that is the path to an abundant life. While hard work is important, the document also emphasizes the value of joyful worship through singing praise to God. The overarching message is that God wants his children to be happy and has provided his word to teach us how to attain that happiness.
1. The document discusses the various coverings of the Tabernacle described in Exodus, including the embroidered inner covering, goat hair covering, ram skins covering, and outer badgers skins covering.
2. Each layer of covering represented a different spiritual concept, such as the embroidered covering representing the Holy Spirit, blood, and angelic covering, and the goat hair covering representing the accumulated sacrifices of believers.
3. The ram skins dye red spoke of death to self being necessary to have no place for self in the Tabernacle. The tough badgers skins were able to withstand the elements, representing God using whatever is needed.
Mt 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Mk 16:15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
Act 1:8 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
The passages from Jeremiah 31 describe God establishing a new covenant with Israel that will be different than the Sinai covenant. The new covenant will involve God writing his law on their hearts and forgiving their sins so they will all know God personally. It will break the perpetual cycle of the people sinning and God punishing them. God's ultimate purpose is for the people to be holy as he is holy so they can be his people and he can be their God. The new covenant established through Jesus fulfills this by providing what was demanded - holiness and access to God.
The document discusses the heart and its importance according to the Bible. It provides several Bible verses that reveal the heart as the innermost desire, the source of motivation, and what God looks at directly. It emphasizes that obedience to the gospel, fellowship, and serving others are matters of the heart. Several verses are presented to show how the heart can be deceitful and that God alone knows people's hearts.
Paul gives counsel to the Ephesian church elders as he prepares to depart, urging them to trust God and obey his word. He commends them to God and his word, which will build them up and give them an inheritance. Paul worked with his hands to support himself and urges others to do the same so they can help those in need. He prays with the elders before departing, and they sorrowfully accompany him to his ship, as they will not see his face again.

The plan should involve sacrificing to spread the gospel so that God is praised and souls are saved, following Christ's example of fruitful service.
Joshua blesses and sends home the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh who had helped the Israelites take the promised land. When they build an altar by the Jordan River, the other tribes fear they have turned to false gods. Phinehas and leaders investigate and the eastern tribes explain the altar is simply to commemorate God, not to worship other gods. The misunderstanding is resolved and war is avoided.
1) The document is a sermon from Gospel Baptist Tabernacle in Rossville, GA on April 15, 2015. It discusses passages from Proverbs 30 and Hebrews 11 about having humility in knowledge and trusting in God's promises despite not receiving them.
2) Several passages from Proverbs and Hebrews are summarized, including ones about trusting fully in God and his word, and asking God for neither poverty nor riches so as not to be tempted to sin.

This document provides guidance on prayer based on Jesus' prayer model from Matthew 6:5-15. It discusses that prayer is important for communication with God and helps effect change. The prayer model begins by addressing God as "Our Father" in heaven, recognizing him as the giver of all good gifts and our loving creator. Prayer is then shown to involve worshipping God, acknowledging his will, asking for daily needs, seeking forgiveness, and avoiding temptation. Maintaining communication through regular prayer was key to Moses' and believers' success.
Jesus Christ our promised seed is the fulcrum of all history. By gaining a greater understanding of God’s promised redeemer, we can grow in our love and appreciation for what Jesus Christ accomplished.

He emphasized that God sent Jesus Christ to save humanity and simply wants people to love him. The sermon concluded with a prayer for God's blessing and sending the congregation to serve the Lord.
This document provides background information on Jonah and the sailors and Ninevites mentioned in the Book of Jonah. It discusses how Jonah was from a godly family, had a relationship with God, and was called to be a prophet and go to Nineveh. However, Jonah was reluctant and barely obeyed God. The sailors feared God after their ordeal with the storm at sea. The Ninevites believed Jonah's message, fasted, and humbled themselves in repentance. The document suggests we should emulate humility and ensure our preferences do not override God's mission for our lives.
This document summarizes a sermon about the Abrahamic covenant between God and Abraham. The sermon discusses how God initiated the covenant by calling Abraham to leave his home and promised to make him a great nation. God established the covenant unilaterally, promising Abraham land and many descendants.

Manoah prayed that the angel would return to instruct them further. When the angel returned, Manoah asked how they should raise the child. The angel reiterated that the son must not eat or drink anything from the vine and must follow the requirements of a Nazarite.

GOD IS OUR GUARDIAN
The document is a sermon on the 10 Commandments given in Exodus 20. It discusses:
1. The purpose of the 10 Commandments is to affirm God's glory and show people's need for Christ to obey them fully.
2. While the Commandments were given to the Israelites as instructions, their true purpose is to show that people cannot keep God's perfect standards on their own and need salvation.
3. Jesus summed up the entire law as loving God fully and loving others as yourself, showing the Commandments ultimately point to him as the fulfillment of the law.
The document summarizes key aspects of the Land Covenant between God and Israel as described in Deuteronomy. It outlines 8 provisions of the covenant, including that Israel would be disobedient and scattered, but would repent and be regathered by God to the promised land. God would bless Israel and judge their enemies when they returned to obeying His commands wholeheartedly. The Land Covenant ensured Israel's right to possession of the land unconditionally and was later confirmed by God through Ezekiel.

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

5. 2 Weeks Ago: Exodus 19:1-6; 20:1-2
• On the first day of the third month after the Israelites left Egypt—on that very day—they
came to the Desert of Sinai. 2 After they set out from Rephidim, they entered the Desert of
Sinai, and Israel camped there in the desert in front of the mountain.
• 3 Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain and said,
“This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob and what you are to tell the
people of Israel: 4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on
eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my
covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole
earth is mine, 6 you[a] will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the
words you are to speak to the Israelites.”
6. Last week: Exodus 20:3-11
• 3 “You shall have no other gods before me.
• 4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of
anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in
the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or
worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous
God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to
the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but
showing love to a thousand generations of those who love
me and keep my commandments.
• 7 “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God,
for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses
his name.
• 8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six
days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the
seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you
shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or
daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your
animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in
six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the
sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh
day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and
made it holy.
Put God first!
7. Today: Exodus 20: 12-16
• 12 “Honor your father and your
mother, so that you may live
long in the land the LORD your
God is giving you.
• 13 “You shall not murder.
• 14 “You shall not commit
adultery.
• 15 “You shall not steal.
• 16 “You shall not give false
testimony against your
neighbor.
