Today's sermon by Pastor Tan Ye Peng ..Life And LightLight means wisdom , insight , illumination . John 1:1-4
God Created man with a spirit . Genesis 5:1-2
God is there right from the start . He existed right from the beginning . To be god , you must be almighty . Roles VS Purpose . god created men with a purpose .1. God is a God of purpose He does things with a reason . It is intentional . Nothing can stop him from doing it .2. The purpose of a thing is in the mind of the maker .3.The purpose of a thing determines its potential .4.The potential of a thing reveals its purpose .5.If a purpose is not known , Abuse is inevitable .- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -God looks at the earth and gives a purpose to the earth .God wanted man to be the foundation of the world . Man has the potential to shoulder the burden , family responsibility and leadership .1 corinthians 3:11Jesus is the foundation of the church .1. Adam was put in a garden .Connected to God's presence .2.Adam was given instructions .Communicate and teach 3.Adam was given work to tendCultivate and release the potential of the earth .4.Adam was given a garden to keep .5.Adam was given the task to name the animals .Adam was the first man created .When adam ate the fruit , he failed to do all the things god asked him to do . So God gave his only son . Jesus !Second man -> Jesus -> always communicating with God , teacher , cultivate and release potentials of his disciples , protect the people , took leadership and ownership over all humans .Genesis 3:4 , 2:17death = a loss of life .Life in God diminishes , light also goes down .Because Jesus died on the cross , the holy spirit is poured out on all flesh .Whoever believes in Jesus can be reconnected back to God and the life of God can flow in him again .So what are you waiting for ?
