Jesus is the fairest of ten thousand, and altogether lovely.

It doesn’t matter how many times you have failed or sinned. God’s Grace and mercy is greater. He is the God of second chances.

We are not good in and of ourselves. God is good to us because of His own goodness.

The Hebrew word Hesed which is usually translated as loving-kindness and mercy in the Old Testament, is revealed as “Grace” in the New Testament.

The Gospel is not just the Gospel of Grace, but also the Gospel of Peace.

You can only understand the love of God the Father when you know how much He loves Jesus His Son — He gave up His Son at the cross, so that He can give us life.

God wants to give us peace. Thanks to Jesus’ finished work at the cross, God has become our Father, and we have peace with Him.

There is one fear that Christians are instructed to have: a fear of not entering in the rest from works-based justification that God has promised.

There is a rest that you receive from coming to Jesus, and there is another rest that you find when you learn how to be gentle and lowly like Jesus.

​You will find rest in being humble and lowly in spirit like Jesus

​Matthew 11:28-30 - Jesus will calm every storm you are facing in your life.
There is a rest that you receive from coming to Jesus, and there is another rest that you find when you learn how to be gentle and lowly like Jesus.
The word gentle in Greek is “praus” which means humble and gentle.
The word humble in Greek is “tapeinos” which means lowly in spirit and humble.

““Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”” ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭11:28-30‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Matthew 21:5 - The word humble in the verse below is also “praus”.
Jesus is the King of kings and He is the most powerful being, but He is still humble.
Kings don’t usually sit on a donkey. They would normally ride in chariots.
This King is a different King who is humble and gentle.
Jesus didn’t sit on a donkey because He is inferior, no.
Jesus chose to be humble because He wants to serve us.
He wants to serve us because He loves us.

““Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”” ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭21:5‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Zechariah 9:9 - Jesus is the Servant-King.

“Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” ‭‭(Zechariah‬ ‭9:9‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

See yourself as totally unable to do anything in and of yourself. We are nothing without Jesus.

1 Peter 5:5-7 - Humility brings peace to your soul.
Subject yourself/submit to one another, not just to those in a higher position than you.
We can learn something from everyone and anyone.
Humility will allow Grace to flow like a torrential river into your life.
Whenever you humble yourself, there will be a promotion from the Lord.
We are nothing, Jesus is everything.

“Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.” ‭‭(1 Peter‬ ‭5:5-7‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Proverbs 3:34 - The word “humble” in the verse below refers to someone who is willing to forgo being wronged and take the blame upon himself instead.
In other words, let it go. You don’t have to ‘set the record straight’ — by doing so you will lose the restfulness in your soul.
Why not trust God for favor instead of defending yourself? God is your Defender.

“Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.” ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭3:34‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

If you’re right and you handle it in the wrong way, that’s still wrong. That’s why it’s pointless to engage in arguments.
Three phrases that are important in a marriage: “I’m sorry”, “please forgive me”, “I love you”.
Did someone wrong you? Let it go and find peace.

Jesus is the Almighty King who chooses to be humble and serve us in love

Isaiah 42:1-4 - The Promised Messiah will not shout nor raise His voice in the street.
One of Jesus’ titles is “Servant”.

““Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delights— I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street. He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice. He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set justice in the earth, and the islands will wait for his law.”” ‭‭(Isaiah‬ ‭42:1-4‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Matthew 12:15-21 - Why did Jesus ask others not to make Him known? He is humble and lowly in spirit.
If it was a mortal man who could do wonderful miracles, claiming to be the Messiah, he will want others to make him known.
But Jesus isn’t like that. He is different and so beautiful.
Jesus wouldn’t even break a useless bruised reed.
He wouldn’t even not extinguish a smoking flax (which is used as a wick).
God will not cast you out, no matter how much of a failure you are.
You may have strayed from God, but He wants to restore you.

“Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all, and commanded them that they should not make him known: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations. He will not strive, nor shout; neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets. He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory. In his name, the nations will hope.”” ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭12:15-21‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Luke 22:50-51 - Jesus even healed the ear of an enemy (Malchus, the high priest’s servant) who came to capture and kill Him.
Jesus even asked for permission to heal him before doing it.
Jesus’ heart is so humble and loving.

“A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. But Jesus answered, “Let me at least do this” —and he touched his ear, and healed him.” ‭‭(Luke‬ ‭22:50-51‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The four headed cherubim that Ezekiel saw in his vision represents four aspects of Jesus.
The lion represents Jesus as King. The man represents Jesus’ humanity. The eagle represents Jesus as Deity from Heaven. The ox represent Jesus as a Servant.

John‬ ‭13:3-5, 12-15‬ ‭- It is not blasphemous to think that Jesus is our Servant. He came to serve us. But we are not His Master. He serves us willingly.
The disciples even debated who was the greatest among them.
They were unwilling to do the menial task of washing each other’s feet, and yet Jesus washed their feet to give them an example to follow.
We are called to serve, and not expect others to serve us.

“Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and was going to God, arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel, and wrapped a towel around his waist. Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him... So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am. If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.” ‭‭(John‬ ‭13:3-5, 12-15‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Philippians 2:3-11 - When Jesus humbled Himself as a Servant, He didn’t do it because He was inferior.
Jesus is the God of all creation and yet He chose to humble Himself.
He didn’t consider His deity something to be grasped as if He needed affirmation of who He is.
Don’t grasp your title or position. It is nothing to be held on to.

“doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself; each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others. Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” ‭‭(Philippians‬ ‭2:3-11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Sandcastles Don't Last Forever

$14.99 $9.99

This is the eBook version.

If you prefer to get the Paperback version (physical copy), you can get it on Amazon here for US$15.

About the Book:

​

One day when I was singing praises to God, an image floated up in my spirit: a big and beautiful sandcastle being washed away by the waves from the sea. God was teaching me the futility of holding tightly onto worldly possessions because like the sandcastle, they won't last, and one day will cease to exist.

He taught me from His word to focus on Him and by doing so, I would reap great eternal rewards before Jesus' throne at the start of the Millennium. These rewards will last forever and can't be destroyed or stolen. 

It is my prayer that the revelations in this book will help you to live with a focus on the things above where God is, fulfill your God-given calling in life, be happier and to accumulate more eternal rewards to your account.

In this Book, you will learn about:​

- Heavenly investment advice and the futility of worldly pursuits from a trillionaire in the Bible

- Why God has to reward us in order to be righteous

- When and how God will destroy the current earth and sky to make way for new ones

- The types of fireproof works that earn eternal rewards at the end of time

- The abundant rewards of doing good works while abiding by the non-disclosure agreement between God and you

- The difference between the temporary places of torment: Sheol and Abaddon

- Who is the Antichrist and his name revealed in the Bible

- What is the Mark of the Beast and why it disqualifies its recipients from receiving salvation

- The different judgments at the throne of Jesus Christ and what it means for you as a believer

- How to fulfill your calling and maximize your gifts to receive the best eternal rewards 

Testimonials about the contents of this book:

"Sandcastles Don't Last Forever is very well written, its message loud and clear. Milton Goh gives common-sense insight on often confusing Scripture, which is much appreciated in these troubled times. My understanding of the Bible has definitely improved."

- Mike Garrett, first Editor/ Publisher for Stephen King and Author of Christian Novel "Innocence Denied", from USA

"This book is absolutely breathtaking. We don't work to be saved but were created to do good works. I am so energized and excited to know God values our works and we will be rewarded. This is all Glory to Jesus... I cant wait to throw my crowns at his feet and thank him for saving my life!" - Evangelist Michael Clark from USA

"Dear Milton Goh, I truly thank our Abba, Father for the revelations in this book. It is so amazing how I begin to discover important verses in the Bible that I have never read. That instead of following riches, with sleepless nights, and actually shortening our lives, we are just to 'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ', and 'Love one another'. How beautiful to find out that actually in the Bible there is both 'Earthly or Worldly Investment Wisdom' and 'Eternal Investment Wisdom' according to the revelations here from Ecclesiastes 5:14-17 WEB)!; “It seems like Solomon was not only wise at earning material riches but also at earning eternal riches.” All the glory to our Lord Jesus Christ! God bless you Milton Goh for such a wonderful book!" - Nitta Nierra from Belgium

“Thank you Milton. I have just finished reading “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”. It’s such a good book that's filled with God's word. I love it very much. Might read again if I have the time. Thanks so much!” - Mally Chai from Singapore

"I'm reading this book and loving it! The revelations of the Gospel truth shared and it's life applications are absolutely amazing! I give glory to the Lord Jesus for my dear brother Milton for this exceptional resource. I'm gonna keep feeding on its contents and believe God for supernatural breakthroughs as my mind is renewed in Christ!" - Terence from Tombel, Cameroon 

​

“Excellent book!! I enjoyed reading it so much and definitely recommend it! Milton is so gifted and all his teachings have blessed me tremendously! I thank God for people like him. Get this book, it will be worth it!” - Madeleine from SA, “Unmerited Favor” tier patron

I highly recommend purchasing Pastor Prince's sermons on his mobile app "Joseph Prince" on Apple App Store or Google Play Store even after you read these notes as I may have missed out something he shared and the overall experience is definitely different when you listen to him preaching directly!
​Use these notes as a revision guide instead of solely depending on them!

These sermon notes are independently-compiled by me, and I'm just a loyal and regular attendee of the the church's Sunday services, and I feel led to take detailed personal sermon notes of Pastor Prince's anointed messages to share them with the world, which desperately needs the true word of God and the original gospel of grace.

I feel blessed to be able to attend Pastor Joseph Prince's services in person, and would like to help everyone who isn't able to attend in person, to get hold of the messages as soon as it is preached!​​​
