May Group Plans

Here's my plans for this month, let me know of ur feedback about the plan. This month will be focusing on the relationship with one another and the thingthat we want to focus in is to be devoted to one another and speaking the truth with love.
I picking this 2 focus based on the how the group is currently, to see that in the group most of us are independant and don't really rely on one another spiritually. What I hope tosee at the end of the month is that we all pick up this conviction to love one another deeperand how can u love another person deeper is by being devoted to one another like what the biblesays in Romans 12:10
Romans 12:10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.
What does it means to be devoted? From the Oxford dictionary the definition- to give most of your time, energy, attention,In another meaning that I found devoted also means deeling or displaying strong affection or attachment; ardent: a devoted friend. dedicatedJesus also show how devoted he is to the people around him by spending endless hours withthem which include the the rich and poor,sick,those in need, he never fails to fellowshipand continuosly speaking the truth to them. Guess how many time did Jesus say this wordsto the public? I TELL YOU THE TRUTH.. anyone can guess? 78 times! If we can just learn to imitate to speak the truth like Jesus we will certainly grow tremendously! In Ephesians Ephesians 4:15, I read..Speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. Here the bible tell us what the results when we learn to speak the truth to anotherwe will in all things grow up into him, meaning we will be more like Chirst each day..bro and sister how can we learn to speak the truth to one another, I not just talkingabout speaking the truth when we see someone sins but also speaking the truth to helpone another to grow in Christ, to speak the words of encouragement and speaking it bcozwe are motivated by love for one another. To make things clearer how we going to go about this for this month is, I want everyonein this group to start to be actively involved in one another life! In what ways u can be involvedu may ask? We can start by having prayers together, followup togheter, doing devo and quiet timeand even evangalise togehter. Ask yourself this, when was the last time u pray with someone inthis group togehter? when was the last time that u spend time and talk about what u learn from the bible and what had God changed u lately? Are we more into own own problem? get distractedby our daily life and don't really think about who can u impact today? Who is it that God reallywant you to love today? Come on bro and sister, I know u all have the heart, let's put it intopractice what we learn.. spend time with one another, talk your hearts out and be there forone another, come out of your comfort zone! Make that 1 small change today coz your one smallchange will be a big impact to others.

Seremban Mission Update

Hi Desmond,

Thanks for your reply, it's great to hear from you!
sorry for the late reply, been quite busy with my job
lately. Dating life going thru some struggle but am
seeking advice from Vincent, praying hard to God that
things will work out.

Yeah, I do have some news from KL side, the Sban
committe met up last wed and we brain storm and came
up with some idea how to improve the coming months
Sban mission. Some of the things that we manage to
discuss is about having KL side to be the host and
organise the service since we are more familiar here
and we plan to have more regular visit and activities
such as bible talks and hangout before the next
service to keep the momentum going on. We will also
will make the 3rd weekend of the month to evangalise
and have service if there are frens coming.

We are planning to evangalise in Nilai colllege to
reach out to the college student and we will have our
service information online thru our KL campus website.
This will be helpful especially for college student
that are internet savy. You can also check it out the
website is www.campuslink.com.my We will update latest
happening and event to the site to inform frens of
upcoming events. This will certainly help build the
confidence in our church and they will feel more
secure to come join us knowing that we have our main
church in KL.

We also want to have continous communication with
Singapore side so we can update each other of what's
the progress and things happening in sban and help
co-ordinate thing before the coming of the next main
service. Maybe u give us the committe contact over
that side so we can talk to and pass information to
the next batch of bro n sis that will be coming.

These are some of the thing discuss and we really hope
and pray that God will help to move our seremban
mission team, currently we have on going studies for
sister side, brothers side we need to crank harder !
Plz continue to keep us in your prayers and thank you
for all your support from Singapore side, with your
support, I believe that God will surely bless our
heart!

In Christ,
Meng Chun

Trade Your Fears for Faith in God

When the Lord saw that he turned aside to look,God called to him from the midst of the bush. Exodus 3:4

Brokenness involves removing inappropriate pride and self-reliance and building healthy God-reliance. God tamed Moses’ self-reliance and pride in the desert, but to create trust He had to break the man’s fears. Moses dealt with different kinds of fear in his encounter with God:
1. Fears concerning himself. God responded by assuring Moses of his purpose.
2. Fears concerning God. God responded by overwhelming Moses with His presence.
3. Fears concerning others. God responded by demonstrating His power and commitment.
4. Fears concerning his ability. God responded by providing him with a partner, his brother, Aaron.

With his willfulness broken, his fears overcome, and his purpose affirmed, Moses finally placed himself in the hands of God.

Life is filled with trade-offs. Moses sacrificed his status and material possessions to prepare for his life purpose. And then to fulfill it, he had to sacrifice again, relinquishing the security and safety of obscurity in the desert. If you desire to lead, then you must be ready to make sacrifices.
