Faith Before God, Love Among Men

All English Service

We are always affected by what people think of us. We try hard to make people acknowledge our doings, at the same time, we want others to live up to our expectations. Just as it’s said in Romans 14: Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand. One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. God is always looking at the attitude of our hearts, not the works per se. Through the message today, may we be broken down before Lord again as He reveals the self-righteousness and judgmental spirit in us, and replace it with His love through His work on the cross. A right understanding of faith enables one to look at others in God's love and truth. As a result, it gives birth to a heart that is full of compassion not mere conscience, a heart full of acceptance instead of being judgmental. May Lord perfect our faith each day as we seek to acknowledge Him even among men.

Verses to Read

<Acts 1:6-8; 2:46-47>

 

1. The Gospel

* Misunderstanding the Gospel = Misunderstanding the Work of the Holy Spirit.

* The Holy Spirit will not be satisfied when the gospel is not being fully, clearly and boldly proclaimed through the church.

* The Gospel is the power of God for the salvation for all those who believes <Ro 1:16>. Yet, what is believing faith?

 

2. The Vision of World Evangelization

* Many Churches/believers are curtailed by the difficulties and challenges.

* Yet, it is by the Persistence and Resolution of the Holy Spirit that it will be accomplished.

* Therefore, join Him in His work.

 

3. The Communion of Saints

* Need for physical gathering of Saints:

(1) Mature Love = receiving and serving

(2) Deepening of Relationship involve sacrifices of time and energy

(3) Accountability
