23 Mar You Are Blessed By The Lord
Preacher Huijun - 13 August 2015
Repent, For The Kingdom Is Near
How depraved we know of ourselves today will lead us know how much we need the grace of God and to turn to Him for forgiveness. We believers, do not only need God. In fact, we need God intensely, and we need to repent before God radically, so that we hate sin so much that we intensely need God so much to fight the sin that always clings onto us. As children of God, we repent because God's wrath is there, judgement is coming and the consequences are real. But as children of God, we repent also because God's love and grace are ready to receive us. True repentance brings you to treasure your relationship with God more than anything else (eg pride, shame, self-centeredness, worldly fame...)

“Blessed by God”, yet our circumstances do not seem to match this? What is the definition of “blessing”? How would a child of God be blessed? The truth is, believers of Jesus are indeed blessed, yet whenever we lose the assurance of Immanuel (God with us), we will lose the joy and power that we should rightfully enjoy. Though God’s blessings also include outward tangible ones, we cannot simply define divine blessings by those. Trials and divine discipline are also God’s ways of blessing and loving us. Through this sermon, let us confirm God’s blessings once again.
Verses to Read: <Gen 26:1-6; 12-16; 19-29>
1. Though blessed by God, we are still weak.
1) Problem: Lose assurance of Immanuel (God with us).
2) Good news: God came to seek the lost sinner.
2. Blessed people surely have blessed evidences.
1) Outward evidences <v12-14>
2) God’s assured promises <v3-4>
3) Sure and quick consequences when commit sins <v7-10>
4) Trials
3. Response of a blessed person.
1) Forgive
2) Give in
3) Set apart
