Are You The Keeper Of Your Loved Ones?
Do you think you are the keeper of your brothers and family members? We tend to mind our own business and care for our own interests rather than be concerned about others. Today, God may ask us, “After knowing the truth about God’s salvation and judgment, what you have done for your loved ones?” While we cannot control a person’s fate, have we tried our best to keep our family members in the Lord?
Help, Rather than Blame, Our Loved Ones
One common problem observed in interpersonal relationships is our tendency to blame others. While sometimes, it is really the fault of others, we also need to reflect if we sometimes blame others in order to protect ourselves or to shirk our own responsibilities? Will blaming make the situation better? Rather than blaming others, how can we do anything constructive to help our loved ones grow and improve family relationship?
Remember The Teachings Of Your Parents
We know the Bible teaches us to honor our parents, but why is it so difficult for us to take our parents’ teachings to heart? How would listening to parents’ teachings benefit us? What if our parents are non-believers? And what if they have hurt and disappointed us and they didn’t teach us well? Find out from this week’s sermon.
God’s Purpose for Our Memories
We all have memories we cherish, which warm our hearts or bring a smile whenever we think of them. But some people have memories that haunt them. So what purposes do sweet and painful memories serve and how is God using them to bless us?
Do Not Fall Into The Trap Of Compromise
The evil one is surely no match for God. Thus, when the devil cannot stop us from worshipping God, he deceitfully leads us to traps of compromises, so that we cannot worship God wholeheartedly. What are the 4 traps of compromises that Pharaoh set for Moses and the Israelites, which should also be alarms for us?
Ten Plagues, Same Purpose
Many people pursue signs and wonders, as they think that God’s display of great power can only benefit them. But is it possible that God’s power be terrifying too? The Bible tells us that the plagues Egypt suffered were also “signs and wonders” from God. They were in fact the mighty display of God’s power to judge Egypt for disobeying Him. Can mere man withstand God? If can’t, why not cease our struggle with God and yield to Him?
Be Careful When All Is Well With You
We all naturally desire to be in a state of peace and prosperity. Even when we follow God, we also hope that God can bless us with many good things. And since our God is a loving and kind God, it is also not surprising if He indeed showers us with good things. But why did God warn His people to be careful when all is well with them?
Christ was Forsaken so that We Will Not be Abandoned
No one likes to be abandoned, for it implies that we are not important, not cared for, not loved. To be abandoned and forgotten by men is bad enough, but the worst form of abandonment is to be forsaken by God. Yet, that was exactly the kind of abandonment Jesus suffered for our sake. Why did God forsake His Son and why did Jesus allow Himself to be forsaken?
Counterfeit Power Is No Match For God
We all love power and we worship God precisely because we think He is powerful to help us, protect us and give us what we want. Yet power can be deceiving and lead us to a wrong faith. So we must consider is every power good and right? Are all powers worth following?
Be Faithful, Not Fickle, Toward God
Humans are fickle, we can be praising God one day and blaming Him the next. It is easy for humans to ascribe praises to God when we see His signs and wonders. We can praise God when everything goes well with our lives and when we receive tangible blessings. But what if God doesn’t meet our expectations? Will we be tempted to turn away from Jesus then?
