18 February 2018 - God Still Loves Me Even When I Fail - Pastor Mark Ng Chinese New Year Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesChinese New Year is like a picture of grace (undeserved favor) - as a child whose family celebrates Chinese New Year, one wakes up with red envelopes that contain money, has yummy goodies to eat, and only words of blessings are spoken that day. Isaiah 11:8 - In the Millennium when Jesus returns to rule on earth, it will be a beautiful world. Little children will even play safely near once-dangerous animals. In the Millennium, people who die at the age of 100 are considered to have died young. Chinese New Year is like a mini-Millennium experience in the family for 15 days. “The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.” (Isaiah 11:8 NKJV) Grace is not what we can do for God - it’s about what God can do for you. Chinese New Year is also known as the Spring Festival: 春 (spring) = 三 (three: the Triune God) + 人 (man: Jesus became a man) + 日 (day: the day where Jesus died for us is the day of salvation) Jesus knew the state we were in and He came to do a thoroughly “spring cleaning” for us. Romans 5:9 - The auspicious color of Chinese New Year is red. Red like the blood of Jesus which has cleansed us from our sins. “Therefore, since we have now been justified [declared free of the guilt of sin] by His blood, [how much more certain is it that] we will be saved from the wrath of God through Him.” (ROMANS 5:9 AMP)

29 January 2017 - The Secret to a Prosperous Life - Pastor Mark Ng Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Chinese New Year Sermon Notes OnlineWhat you are listening to is very important. It is a death or life matter! 5 C's of a mum on Chinese New Year: 1) Choose - groceries at the supermarket 2) Cook - food 3) Clean - the house 4) Connect - the relatives 5) Control - her tongue. Do not say die, only say live. She wants her family to have health and prosperity. The end in mind is for her family to sit, rest and feed. Similarly, God wants us to rest and He wants to provide us with everything that we need. God asked Adam "Where are you?" in the Garden of Eden, not the other way round. God loves us, and He is love. 2 Corinthians 5:18-21 - The reunion is started from God. He wants us to be reconciled with Him. God wants us to come back to His house because in His house there is food. Ask yourself everyday: Am I resting? If you're not resting in the grace zone, you are not understanding God's love for you. It is God who provides for you. Don't worry about tomorrow. Once you are rested, your blood pressure and your cells will all be rested - that comes through listening to the word of God. “Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 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 5:18-21 NKJV) |
