Another service in City Harvest Church! The last time when I went to this Friends night, it was alright because its nothing too different from my church. As in, what we did there is a typical concert-ish of activities. This time, however, because it is a sermon and a service, they did it like the actual services on Sunday which, I have heard and known about it. Worshiping/ singing section is longer than preaching section. Speaking in tongues too. *nod nod*
Watched it in cds but didn't know EXPERIENCING it real time is, er... ha... *nod nod and smile*
The preaching from Pastor Kong is some what powerful though. To be frankly, the only time i felt comfortable is when they included BIBLE in. =3=
Back to Pastor Kong's preaching, its about shame (a.k.a SINS). I believe, what he said was extremely true; We have basically three different kinda SHAME, and the way to confronting them are through the Lord, Jesus and giving all these shame burden to him. However, I personally think that before doing so, we must seek for forgiveness from God first no? Since we have sinned, without admitting our sins and ask forgiveness from God? I am sure after we confessed them He will surely forgive us and tada~ forgiven we are and we will be able to face our SHAME.
Bible verses on FORGIVENESS Psalm: 51. I like this chapter as it is my weapon to attack Satan's accusation and my shame on my what I have done that doesn't glorify God.
Psalm 51
For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are proved right when you speak
and justified when you judge.
5 Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6 Surely you desire truth in the inner parts [a] ;
you teach [b] me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will turn back to you.
14 Save me from bloodguilt, O God,
the God who saves me,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 The sacrifices of God are [c] a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.
18 In your good pleasure make Zion prosper;
build up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then there will be righteous sacrifices,
whole burnt offerings to delight you;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
