24 June 2018 - Jesus Draws Near when you are Discouraged (at Caesarea Maritima) - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPraise and Worship songs performed:
Pastor Prince preached this sermon on 11 March 2018 live in Israel. Paul preached the gospel from Caesarea Maritima westwards, to USA. Israel is the center of the world. And now, the gospel continues to be preached westwards, reaching Korea and China. The path of the righteous shines brighter and brighter until the perfect day. Finally the gospel will come one full circle and reach Jerusalem again. The gospel is not about do good, get good, do bad, get bad. The gospel is called the gospel of grace, or the gospel of peace. Galatians 1:6-9 - A different gospel is any other gospel than the grace of Christ. Paul pronounced a double curse on anyone who preaches any other gospel. Whoever preaches the true gospel will be doubly blessed. “I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9 NKJV) When God gave the Law on Mount Sinai on the first Pentecost for Israel, 3000 people died. When God gave the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, 3000 were saved. The Law kills, while Grace gives life. Romans 6:14 - The Law shows a reflection of sin, not of righteousness. It is a holy mirror that shows you as you are. The devil has put fences around grace and we need to rediscover the gospel that Paul preached. The Law is about do, Grace is about done. There is only one thing left do under Grace: rest in what Jesus has done. Under the Old Testament, the priests must not gird themselves with anything that causes them to sweat - we need to rest in God. We pray from victory, not for victory. “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” (Romans 6:14 NKJV)

31 December 2017 - New Mindset for the New Year - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online - Pastor Mark NgOur heart is not made to be satisfied by the things of this world. Joke by Pastor Mark Ng: God made the heavens and the earth and everything else is made in China. We always need to draw near to Jesus and He will give us the rest that we need. Under the Law, and the sacrificial sheep has to be a firstborn because God wants to give us the Firstborn Blessing. It has to be without blemish because God wants to give us righteousness. The person bringing the offering had to place his hands on the sheep because God wants us to touch Jesus. When we touch Jesus, we touch eternity and experience a rest. Jesus was judged for all our sins and we can expect good to happen to us because we have received Jesus’ righteousness. We can be restful because of what Jesus has done for us. II Corinthians 5:21 - God’s power is not in fasting or in prayer. It is in the gospel. The gospel is the revelation of the righteousness of God imputed to us. “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (II Corinthians 5:21 NKJV) Proverbs 4:20-23 - Everything is from the inside out. It all begins in the heart. When you go after money, it always flies away. Guard your heart - your heart is like a projector: whatever is inside will be manifested outside. We are always meditating day and night. But what are you meditating on? We need to meditate on God’s word day and night and everything we do will prosper. “My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:20-23 NKJV) The gospel is that we all fail but God still loves us. Life is like the waves of the sea - sometimes it goes up, sometimes it comes down. We need to fix our eyes on Jesus and we’ll be able to walk above the waves. 24 December 2017 - The Greatest Gift of All - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Christmas Service 2017 - Pastor Lawrence Lim Sermon Notes Christmas Sermon 2017“Santa Claus is Coming to Town” is written by a parent. It is used to threaten a child that if they don’t behave, they will not receive any Christmas presents from the mythical figure Santa Claus. Usually the cost of a Christmas gift is directly proportional to our love for the person. The greater the love, the greater the gift. Jesus is everything to us. Luke 2:10-11 - Jesus’ job is to save. His name means “Yahweh Saves”. “Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:13-14 NKJV) Matthew 1:20-21 - Jesus didn’t come to judge us for our sins. He came to save us from our sins. “But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.”” (Matthew 1:20-21 NKJV) Luke 2:14 - There is peace on earth because sinful man finally has peace with God and we can have peace in our lives because God takes care of all our needs. ““Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”” (Luke 2:14 NKJV) 17 December 2017 - Live at Lakewood Church: The Secret to a Quality Life - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation ChurchJesus is not here just to be a Spectator in your life. He is here to meet your needs. We serve God because we have been served by Him. When someone allows Jesus to serve him, Jesus pours forth His goodness. If we don’t allow Jesus to serve us, we cannot flow with Him. It is not wrong to serve God, but if the heart is full of troubles and worries while serving, then it’s because that person has not been served by God. Martha was full of complaints whereas Mary allowed Jesus to serve her. How glad Jesus was to find someone that was willing to be served! The Christian life begins with you sitting down, resting in what has been done. We are rich because of the cross. Now that you are rich, act like it. Sow bountifully. Tithe to show that God is the source of your finances. You don’t have to tithe - you get to tithe. God never plays catch-up. What God does is in the invisible realm and it will manifest physically. What is of the flesh manifests quickly but is not comparable to what God does. Ishmael is of the flesh and he arrived first, but Isaac who is born of grace is better even though he took longer to be conceived. The devil always plays catch-up to what God is doing. If you can’t tell what God is doing, see what the devil is doing in your life, reverse it, and you’ll know what God is doing. Example: If the devil has placed sickness in your body, it’s because God has released health in your life. The people of the world only see what the devil is doing, but we need to see what God is doing behind the scenes. Don’t pray for God to move against what the devil is doing. We need to pray to see what God has done and declare it! Matthew 6:25 - The secret to a quality life and a healthy body is letting go of our worries. ““Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?” (Matthew 6:25 NKJV) 10 December 2017 - Right Believing is the Secret to Overcoming Sin - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online - Pastor Lawrence Lim Sermon Notes OnlineWe bring great delight to our Heavenly Father. Do you have 'Pike Syndrome'? Quoted from Integrity Works Coaching: "The pike is a large fish that survives by eating smaller fish. An experiment was conducted years ago where the pike was placed in a large fish tank. Then several smaller fish were introduced into the tank, but separated from the pike by keeping them within in a large, bottomless, glass jar. The jar was submerged to the bottom of the tank, closing them off completely from the pike. Of course, the pike didn’t know this and immediately struck at the minnows. In fact, the pike hit the glass over and over until, frustrated and “conditioned”, it settled at the bottom, right next to the minnows. After a while, the jar was lifted, and the minnows swam all around the pike and throughout the large tank. And yet, the pike remained motionless. Indeed, the pike never tried again and died in that tank with its main source of food and survival right in front of it!" Have you been conditioned to wrongly believe a certain way about God? Luke 6:45 - Your life is a reflection of what you see and believe in your heart. When you change what you see with your spiritual eyes, your external life will also change. That’s why right believing will lead to right living. “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:45 NKJV) Proverbs 4:20-23 - Keep visual images of God’s word in your heart. What do you believe about yourself and about God? What you believe will affect your life and your circumstances. Knowing and believing in the truth will set you free. “My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:20-23 NKJV) Revelation 12:9-11 - Satan is actually afraid of you, not because of you but because of who is in you. You are the child of the Most High God. You have the power to trample over the power of the enemy because of Christ in you. Every condemning thought in you is not from the Holy Spirit, it’s from the devil. The devil is the accuser of the brethren. The Holy Spirit convicts you of your righteousness, that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. “So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” (Revelation 12:9-11 NKJV) 3 December 2017 - Get What you Want through the Power of Imagination in your Heart - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineMary carried eternity in her arms. But at that time He was confined within time. There are people who say that Jesus wasn’t born on December 25, and most likely He was born around the time of the Feast of Tabernacles. But still, it’s alright to celebrate Christmas, as long as you remember that it’s about God sending His Son Jesus. It’s not about Santa Claus, it’s about Jesus Christ. Proverbs 4:20-23 - God’s word is not health to the world out there. It’s to all who find them. God’s word is health to ALL your flesh! Life and health are produced out of your heart. So are sickness and disease. Long before sickness manifests outwardly, it already existed in your heart. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things. It’s out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. The heart is not your spirit. The Greek word for spirit is “pneuma” whereas the Greek word for heart is “cardia”. It’s not the same. Your heart is right at the center where your spirit and soul meet. It’s more important to understand how it works rather than where it is. God has put His name in your heart. If you dissect a heart, the cross-section is shaped like the Hebrew letter “shin” which looks like a tilted “W”. Your heart is the key to experiencing life and health. “My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:20-23 NKJV) Matthew 28:20 - The word “always” should be more precisely translated as “all the days”. The Lord says He is with us all the days of our life. “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.” (Matthew 28:20 NKJV) When you are conscious of the Lord, you will be afraid of nothing. When you lose sight of the Lord, you may even despair of your life. When the Prophet Elijah when conscious that the Lord was with him, he could courageously stand in King Ahab’s court with Jezebel right there. When he lost sight of the Lord and became more conscious of Jezebel’s threats upon his life, he became fearful and fled from her. 26 November 2017 - The Strength of the Lord is Upon the Weak and Insignificant of the Earth - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineWhere two or three are gathered in Jesus’ name, there He is in the midst of them. Two is the smallest plurality. We are not meant to live with just us and God. God’s dream is the church. The longest chapter in the Book of Genesis is about the church - where the servant is looking for a bride for Isaac. The church is not a building. The church is the people of God who believe in Jesus. The church is the most successful organization in the universe. God put Gold, silver and platinum out here on earth for the church. The treasures are for God’s children. God only corrects His own children. We correct our own children, not other’s children. There’s nothing easier to do than looking. Just look to Jesus for all your needs, even in your marriage. 19 November 2017 - Jesus Heals and Gives you Strength When you have None - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineSalvation from hell is a once and for all event in our lives. However, believing in God is a continuous thing we do - we keep putting our trust in Him again and again. Jesus is an ever-present Savior. He is saving us every day. Jesus is our present tense Savior. He is a very present help in trouble. The Lord Jesus is always at the point of your need. However the presence of the need doesn’t mean that Jesus will respond to the need. Sometimes people don’t want others to help them. We have to invite Jesus into our situation so that He can help us. Jesus becomes frustrated when He sees our need but cannot help us right away. It’s called the love of frustration. Spiritual growth means increasingly seeing your flaws and also increasingly seeing the Savior’s love for you. The Hebrew word for repentance is “Teshuva” which means “a return” - a return to God. As we become more spiritually-matured, we don’t become more self-reliant - that is an abomination. We should become even more reliant on God. 12 November 2017 - With God Little Becomes Much - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineMany people are afraid to let go because they think that they’ll drop into the abyss and there will be no one to catch them. Don’t worry, when you let go, our Heavenly Father’s loving arms are outstretched and ready to catch you if you fall. The Lord is speaking to Pastor Joseph Prince that it’s time to reach out to the young people - their hearts are a vacuum waiting to be filled by Jesus. The fourth service in New Creation Church in Singapore may be converted into a youth service session. Don't complain saying "This type of thing is for young people..." otherwise you'll grow old. Pastor Joseph Prince has no problem with believers and even pastors having tattoos (from their past before they were saved). He said for too long the devil has sent wolves in sheep’s clothing into the church. It’s about time we have sheep in wolf’s clothing to go out into the world to get people saved. He also added that he does not have a single tattoo on his body. 5 November 2017 - Rely on Relationship Instead of Methods - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online - Pastor Mark Ng Sermon Notes OnlineNever pressurize yourself that you have to be the one to get your family and loved ones to church to be saved. Learn to let go and trust God about this. You are not the Savior. Our Lord Jesus loves them more than you do. Hold on to the promises of God that when one in a household is saved, it will lead to the whole household to be saved. When you receive forgiveness from God you can then have the empowerment to forgive others. It’s not what you know, but Who you know. It’s all about connections. You are connected to the greatest Being - the God of the Universe. For example, if you need a parking lot, pray and ask our Heavenly Father for a lot. You are well-connected! Be conscious of the favor that you have with God, if not you will tend to wrongly depend on yourself. Psalm 91:1 - Our God is the Most High and the Almighty. He wants to connect with us in the secret place. To connect with us, He sent His only begotten Son to die for us. “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” (Psalms 91:1 NKJV) The original plan of God is for Man to rest and enjoy His provision. God didn’t say there will be no trials or tribulations. But He says that when they come, we can still be of good cheer. I Peter 5:7 - It’s not about trying not to worry. It’s about focusing on how much God cares for you. We have a relationship with God which allows Him to be for us. Always come back to relationship, don’t depend on methods. “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” (I Peter 5:7 NKJV)
