Pastor Steven from Calvary Church came and shared the Word with us.
Eventhough he was a little caught up with the parking around SS15, God still used that little time to really impact us CF-ers.
What we learnt:
There are 3 life defining moments and it is when we learn so much about God.
1. God exists
- Just like in the book of Ecclesiastes, King Solomon contemplates life. He wonders what is the real meaning of life and is there more to there than just this meaningless life we live in.
- Many times, we too think like that, and that is when we, like King Solomon, start searching.
-What King Solomon learnt later on, is that even though life is as meaningless as it is, there's more to life under the sun than life above the sun.
- There's a God, a benevolent being, that supersedes all authority and is the Ruler of all creation. He is the main reason we live.
- That is when King Solomon felt that it is only appropriate if the Ruler of all creation takes rule of his life.
The second defining moment is
2. Death is real
- Haven't we not come close to a near-death experience?
- Death is real guys, and there is only two places that we end up to after death, said in the Bible, heaven or hell. As much as we like to live happily and merrily, we have to realize that there is life after death.
- Death is real, not just to you, but to your friends. Are you not aware of the opportunities to show God's love and God's grace when you can? How bout an "I love you, mom" or "here let me help you"? The people around you won't live forever, and you won't know when they will leave you. Neither will you know how long more you'll live.
- What about people that don't know Christ? When will you take the opportunity to show God's love and share God's amazing Son's death on the cross, if not now?
3. We have the liberty and freedom to choose and decide how we would live.
- Don't we all? Choose to live righteously, in God's sight.
- Choose to have a pure heart and clean hands.
- Choose to be God's best.
- It will all be worth it when He says, "well done my good and faithful servant"
Well that's it.
Remember there's no CF this week!
