BUSY BUSY Weekend
Pic: taken on my way to churchie in the afternoon... another of my act artistic series
A pretty busy day today... first up in the morning, attended a youth cell seminar together with 4 other gel leaders.. (Ivor, Leongie, Charissa and Shi Yi) over at Toa Payoh... so we met up earlier for Mac breakfast..
So yupz, learnings from the seminar was good... kinda interesting concept and prob something stirred in my heart to take up the challenge too.. will pray about it more first before deciding on anything...
So thereafter, went back to office...for programme... stayed there to paint a mural and til it was time for GEL, and Leongie came by to pick me up..and we headed to church.. Today's GEL meet was going to the streets to do 100k blessings, its a love singapore movement targeting to bless 100,000 people through Christians praying random people or friends...
Think that was good.. cos Christians are called to bless people but most often then not, people tend to be pressured instead of being blessed whenever one evangelise or share the gospel with them, which shouldnt be the way at all... It was good to see many Singaporeans really open and receptive about the 100k movement.. and really was good that our Gellies did a good job, coming out of their comfort zone, approaching random people, and to be bold to pray for them... Great Job Gellies...
Act Artistic shot no2: My Singapore, My Home...
Leongie and me were passed 2 tix to Hillsong United Concert over at Expo last minute by Matthew...(THANKS MATT)
and so we made our way there... Was a great time worshipping, jumping and praising God... sermon was by Pastor Judah Smith from US i think.. very impactful sermon given, bout the passage in Luke 7:11- 17, about Jesus raising a widow's son to life..who was being carried out to be burried in a casket...but Jesus told him to "wake up" and he woke up...
In application, he related the casket to the culture we live in today (sexual immorality, wrong relationships, doing things with wrong motives, greed etc), that we lie dead in the culture and go on with the flow till we get trapped and in the end 'die' in it...where we started off with place of compromising, falling in to deepest despair of shame and guilt and sin...
Thus we all need to wake up before we are being buried underneath... Jesus is grabbing and reaching out to us..But it is WE, ourselves that need to respond to the call... God wants to restore the beauty that is lost, and His name is sufficient to all of us... All we need to do is to respond to His call..
WOWz... powerful sermon shared... and found that true in life... believe that his sermon was meant to Christians and pre-believers alike..cos Christians Like me... do fall into the spiral of sin from time to time as well and we need to respond to God/Holy Spirit's call to turn back to God... and yupz it was a reminder for me...
So yupz.. Hillsong concert was great...they played many of Leongie's and my favourite songs and also some of their new album songs too.. which Leongie went to buy after the concert ended...
and so that was how my saturday was spent... packed back to back with activities.. tiring..but great.. All done for the Glory of God!!!!
