28 Decmber 2008, Sunday Service Notes

oh yeah nearly forgot, just before i start on today's sermon that was preached by Pastor Kong, if you want to find out what i did for my 21 day trip to japan, do check out my blog! i am currently on the second day....

Today, Pastor Kong shared with us the last message of the year 2008 and it was about forgiveness!!

well the main points are:

1. Don't look back at the OLD SINS
2. Don't look back at the OLD DEFEATS
3. Don't look back at the OLD CONFLICTS
4. Don't look back at the OLD VICTORIES

well another learning point that we should learn is in order to forgive, we need to forget! God forgets after he forgives us!

What we should do to our conflicts.....
DON'T nurse it
DON'T curse it
DON'T rehearse it
RELEASE IT.....and God will disperse it.

Here are the sermon notes that i wrote during service....






well this message definitely helped me! that is because i seldom forgive, just my nature, as in i do not easily forgive, but the ironic thing is that i forget super fast and easily! PS thats the reason why i always fail my Social Studies tests. even when pastor Kong passed to us the A4 sheet of paper, i could barely think of anything on the spot as i needed to ponder over my past!

i do find it strange that i remember pictures super well while i can never remember words! i can instantly remember the routes of places, pictures and happy and sad memories with just one glance. this always causes me to bottle up my hurt feelings within me. even up till now, i still can remember lots of my pasts in times when i got hurt by close friends. the good thing is that i am trying to release them, little bit by little bit as i carry on my busy life...
