time for our not-so-often updates on the boyzone! hahaha.
1. In view of the Chinese New Year, this sunday's sermon will NOT follow the 40 days of community series. Thus, ceteris paribus, we don't have to do the reading this coming week. Take a break guys.
2. For those who still do not have the 40 days of community book(for some weird/strange/funny reason) please get it from jit. yes get it from jit. he has extras.
3. Prayer request: Desmond's dad has been admitted to SGH upon discovery of an inflammed eye. Please pray for healing of the eye as uncle Sunny recuperates in the hospital. Thank God for the positive MRA scan results, showing only an inflammation and not other suspicions the doctors had.
4. Please think of some 'CIP' thing to act in accordance to the 40 days of community. tuition sounds good! :)
Lastly, HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR! HUAT AR!!

Week 2.
we are in week two of the 40 days of community! those who do not have your workbooks, i believe there are extras with jit. you'll get them don't worry. here's this week's sermon outline for those who missed it:
*We are to love one another and to share that love!
*God didn't create anyone he didn't love and no one Jesus Christ didn't die for!
*The task of evangelising involves different people. All of us have a specific role and together we contribute towards bringing an unbeliever to accept Jesus Christ as his/her Lord & Saviour. Bible references: Phillipians 1:5
1. Pray together. We talk to God about the person first before we talk to the person about God! Bible refrences: Col 4:3 Action step: Make a group prayer list!
2. Appeal to common interests. Action Step: Discover the common interests in your group! (this ain't difficult!)
3. Reach out in love. Everything we do, we do in agape love. God wants us to share our lives with one another. Bible refrences: 1 Thess 2:8 Action step: Ask God to give you a deeper love for others
4. Tell your story. Love in practical action is POWERFUL Bible refrences: 1 Peter 2:9 Action step: Write out your story to share it with your group.
5. Nuture friendships. Build a friendship bridge so God can walk across! Bible refrences: Romans 12:16, 2 Tim 1:7 Action step: Bring a friend to your group. Plan a party! Whee!
6. Expect God to Act. Rememebr the story of the four friends who carried their paralysed friend through the roof to meet Jesus? Jesus healed the paralysed man because of the actions of faith shown by his friends. Bible refrences: Heb 11:1 Action Step: Never give up on anyone!
7. Represent Christ with your life. Sharing God in our community starts with our cell! Bible refrences: 1 thess 4: 11-12(a) Action Step: Pray to God: "Use me".
Another Not-So-Friendly Reminder: Please remember to read the daily devotions!

40 days of community
so this week marks the start of our journey through the 40 days of community. in order to facilitate those who missed out on sunday's sermon or forgot to take notes, myself or any others will try to update the blog on what was shared during sermon on sunday. yup! hopefully and prayerfully this will be a resource during these 40 days and also after we finish this journey.
WEEK ONE: 13th -- 18th January 2009 Sermon Topic: Why we need each other?(session 1) Preacher: Ps Stanley. Scripture Text: John 17:1-26
Three main reasons:
(1) We need each other because it is Jesus' desire and will for us. Bible refrences: John 17:11, 21, 22-> Jesus prays for everyone as a whole. More verses: Psalm 133:1, Romans 12:5, Ephesians 4:5-6
*The very shape of the cross suggests two main transactions that Jesus accomplished. +Upright post stands for restoration of our communion +Horizontal post stands for restoration with one another Ephesians 2:13-18
* Genuine commission with God translates active participation into the building of community.
*It is impossible to love God without loving our neighbour.
*By taking one side of the cross, be it horizontal or vertical, we are destroying the cross and what it symbolizes.
*The point of conversion at the cross is where we ought to be, when we obey both sides of the cross.
(2) We need each other for protection. Bible refrences: John 17:11, Ephesians 6:12
*FYI: The Devil meant advesary in the old Testament and Satan in the New Testament
*when the church lacks love, the church will break down.
(3) We need each other to be effective witnesses for Christ.
i hope this is sufficent. it's not complete cos i think i went toilet during the last part or something hahaha.
A Not-So-Friendly-Reminder: Please read the daily daily devotions. Feel remorseful if you have not done monday and tuesday already. hahaha kidding! happy reading! cell's the same this sat! see ya folks!

Updates!
alright! first post of 2009! just a few updates here and there of what's going to happen:
1. Chinese New Year Celebrations. -if you do want to open up your house for visiting, please let jit know. we will be more than willing to organise the outings!
2. 40 days of Community -our church is embarking on this 40 day journey. naturally our cell will follow this series, so do look out and collect your workbooks from jit when you see him. -the course stretches from jan to feb and there will be sermon series on what will be covered in the workbooks.something like 40 days of purpose.
3. Our church is having prayer meetings every weds at 8pm. if you have not been to one of these prayer meetings, i strongly encourage you to make the time to go. it's a time of prayer and intercession for the church.gives you a better view of the happenings in the church and its members.
happy 2009!
