Fortitude and Endurance
Today's my second time serving on saturday, I must say I gotta get used to the new timings and procedures and stuffs. Im so used to rushing for time and chionging to setup and tear down, and all of a sudden, I have so much time...Im really not used to it..haha. =/
Message was good, but I kinda missed the drama, so will be going service again later at JW. Ill just post the notes here cus its really good. Its one of those sermons I will keep for the rest of my life.
FORTITUDE - REV TAN YE PENG
Heb 10:35-36
Endurance gives you the enablement to inherit the promises of God.
Fortitude = the strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain/adversity with courage.
2 Cor 6:4, 2 Tim 3:10
Success is going from failure to failure
without the loss of enthusiasm. - Winston Churchill
Im not called to be successful, but to be faithful. - Mother Theresa
What does the acronym ENDURE stand for?
1. Embrace God's purpose in that situation
People can only endure when they see a purpose in any given situation.
1 pet 1:7
Your purpose is always greater than your problem.
That purpose is 'us'. The growth and development of our faith, and our character!
Its not just about how you start, but how you end.
Man's strength is not shown in victory, but in adversity.
Jam 1:3-4, Rom 5:3-4
The strength of your character determines the outcome/how we end.
2. Nurture your spiritual roots
Just like the parable of the sower.
Mk 4:16-17
When you are lost, always go back to your compass.
Luk 8:15, Rom 15:4
3. Direct your attention to God.
Mt 11:8
When you look at the world, you're in stress.
When you look at yourself, you're depressed.
But when you look at Jesus, you're at rest.
WOOSH! That blew me away! hahaha. (This is not part of the notes, LOL!)
Heb 12:2
4. Use your experience to help others.
2 Cor 1:6
Our greatest life message doesnt come from our strengths,
but from our weaknesses.
2 Tim 2:10
The things you dont wanna talk about, that is the very thing God will use!
God doesnt waste any situations or experiences in your life!
There is no better person who can encourage someone going through a divorce, than someone who's overcome it. There's no better person who can encourage someone who is disabled, then someone who has lived beyond it.
5. Rely on God's power.
You dont need to be a genius to realise your own strength is limited.
Col 1:11, Rom 12:12
You wont know that God is all you need until God is all you've got.
6. Expect God to bless you.
God is faithful, He has already promised to bless you back whenever you endure trials and various circumstances in your life.
Expect a breakthrough for your life, God will never cause you to live in vain.
All things work together for the good of those who love Him, and are called according to His purpose.
Jam 1:12
Your faith will determine just how much God is going to pull through for you.
It is faith that moves mountains.
Dont cast away your confidence, for great is it's reward.
Jam 5:11, heb 10:36
God did not save you to enter a race,
He saved you to finish the race.
Fellowship was at chinatown, good food! Haha. And crazy crowd! LOL. Our walking speed was like, 100m/s. Hahaha. Seriously, you shout 'bomb!', everyone will scatter haha. I was telling the guys, what if we started sprinting through the crowd? LOL.
Not bad..its a comical scene to see stall owners started taking their microphones and shouting to attract customers, haha..seeing them suan each other, "Ta de shi jia de, wo de shi zhen de, lai lai lai..mai tio pian.." LOL. Then this stall really overkill, add effects to the speaker somemore! Delay and some flanger sounding effect! OMG! hahaha.
Also saw some people dressed up for halloween! ROFLMAOLOL!
Left the place around 11 plus. Walked to Raffles MRT with Adam, Pam, Thad, Timo. Its really ulu, haha..so romantic lol. We should have more chillout fridays. I think the cafe/bar we walked past is really a nice place with good night ambience.
Oh yes, and after service I met Shing, but I was on comms, haha sry ah..so paiseh, you called out to me and I just stood there, stared at you and stoned for like 3-5 seconds, I was lagging man..cus someone was sending something over the comms and I think I looked like a complete dork. Hahaha! Oh wells.
God is alive! =) Dont live as if He's dead.
