Today sermon is preach by Pastor Jeffrey. He was use Psalm 103:8-14 for the teaching. Share with you what i had learned from today sermon. Okie, be prepape and sit down & relax.. Here we go...
In our life, we use to hear from other that how God like, but does we really know who God is? It may hard for us to be honest to God because we are afraid Him may grab thing away from us. But you are totally WRONG! He is not the God you think. He is a God give to the lost (Matthew 6:9). Ps Jeffrey also mention that, "THE WAY WE RELATE WITH GOD = THE WAY WE RELATE WITH OTHER." He have shared with us 2 quality of our heavenly father Jesus told about:
1) God is an understand Father - He accepts us (v13-14)
- God is our creator. He knows our in/outside but He accepts us the way we are. Accepted was being a important part of our life. Everyone wish to be accepted by the crowd. They feel secure when others accepted the way they do thing. But, God accepts us without any term & condition. He simply accepts us the way we are. Dr Charles Horton Coolcey has quote this word:
"Your self esteem, Your self worth or image is determined to a large degree by what you think the people or the person that matters most to you think about you." Do you ask yourself the question before? How much someone willing to pay for us? How valuable you think you are? In fact, God value us. Even He willing to lay down His one and only Son, Jesus' life for us (John 6:13). God created us, He protect us, nothing can harm us without His permission (Psalm 139:13-16). A few question for you, how is your heart today? Does it centre? Are we really heart-centre? Sometime we may felt CMI (CANNOT MAKE IT) and become more frustrating. But, do you really sit down and pray to God? However, thru prayer, we find the peace and refresh.
2) God is a big hearted Father - He forgive us (v8-12)
- We feel bad when done things wrong, but God still forgive us. God does not keep a list of our sins (Isaiah 43:25). Do you know? When we keep asking God for the forgiveness in thousand time for the same thing but God has already forgive us while the 1st time we ask. God is forgiving God (Luke 23:33-34a). He forgive us completely and forgot completely those thing we have done it wrong. Keep in mind that GOD VALUE US!
Isaiah 54:10 (NIV)
10 Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
nor my covenant of peace be removed,"
says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
