Hebrews 12
In the last times, what can be shaken will be shaken


Pic
Come back to community so tt we don't replace community ........

Col 2
Don't live life based on laws and morality
We are to have freedom 

Col 2 23
No man can grow in isolation
Opposite of community is self directed religion


John 2
Being of the ministry, Jesus  place great importance  in house of God

Matt 21
Want to ensure that the house of God is cleanse, holy and in proper order

1 cor 6
Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit
We have to be ensure our life  is cleanse, holy and in proper order


1. Make sure that convenience hasn't replaced commitment

The merchant make things convenient,  selling sacrifices in the temple, instead of bringing own sacrifices 
Today, we don't have to bring the animals cos Jesus has alr been the sacrifice for all
   We just bring ourselves.. it's alr made convenient for us
      It's the heart of worship.. it's not abt being online or on site

Romans 12 1
The physical presence is the act of true and proper worship

Pic
Those who are spirit led are called sons and daughters of God
   Doing things God's way and not own way

Matt 4 8
Satan wants Jesus to worship God in his way (now down to him) 
   Jesus is not doing things 
   It's not abt online or on site.. but it's the way we do things
The way of God is nv convenient, but it's the way tt leads us to freedom

Hebrews
The way of God is to grow as a community and not individually

2.
Psalm 69 9
The disciples saw the passion of Jesus restoring the order in God's house

Pic
Worship became a tool to get what we wants, from pleasing God through worship to using God to please ourselves

Pic
Millionaire may not be monetary... We can see God blessing in terms of family, joy, peace

Deu 8
We may have ideas, don't forget tt the source
 sources always come from God
We may be successful, but don't forget where the source comes from


Pic
Putting God first
Family has no conditions
Success in work and ministry comes from the Holy Spirit, and with love, power will flow naturally

God is the priority, above all others
God has placed all persons in a family... Even for those who are single
Love 
When our priority is right, power of God will move powerfully



Mark 10
We must ensure tt we don't lose the joy of serving

Luke 11


1 cor 12
We are gifted with different gift
The greatest gift is the Holy Spirit
These gifts are for serving ppl and not for our own enjoyment
Love cannot be self contain

Why still burnt out in serving? Cos we don't see the higher and deeper purpose of the gift

1. The gifts create unity
Create unity and bonding among the ppl... Need to rely on each other
God's gift cannot work alone... 
The moment we get angry and don't want to relate with ppl, it's when we will feel burdensome and burnt out

2.
James 
Every gift is designed to bring us closer to Him
If it's easy and fun to use, we won't rely on God



3.
None of the wealth accumulated will ever last


Matt 25
God doesn't need our service but every service to others is as if it's for unto the Lord

Even the least action tt nobody sees, God sees it and rmb eternally

Jesus promises light burdern and easy yolk

RISE FROM THE WILDERNESS


-Jesus is our bridegroom and we who are the believers are His bride
-despite of the wilderness, she rose from the wilderness instead of being bitter
-the wilderness is not to bring us down but to lift us up! 
-no matter what, don't be despair
   -God will not leave us alone
why go through the wilderness
1. wilderness experience evokes an awareness of self
-the test is for us to know... Self awareness
   -God does not need to test our heart cos God knows 
-test = "to prove"

-all the disciplines thought that they were committed to Jesus but the trial reveals their heart
   -Peter wept knowing His heart
-Holy spirit wants to show us our heart
   -without self awareness, repentance is impossible
2. wilderness experience evokes an awareness of God
where we will experience the nearness of God
-it's in the wilderness that these were revealed to the children of Israel
   -pillar of fire and cloud
   -10 commandments
   -how to worship

-don't let disappointment poison our heart
-God wants turn our test into testimony
3 things we must hold on to
1. faith
the daughters of Zelophehad is not limited by the culture

2. Hope
an attitude of eagerness with head raised and eyes on the horizon
-they were looking forward to meet with God
don't lost the joy in the heart, the dance in the feet
3. Love
-Moses was betrayed by her sis Miriam
-Miriam was healed outwardly but Moses was healed inwardly
do good, bless and pray is where we abide in love
