26 January 2020 - The Treasure of Life - Pastor Mark Ng Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon Notes

Pastor Mark Ng shared that Jesus is the treasure of life. When we rest in Jesus' love and follow Him, He leads us to obtain good blessings at the right place in the right time.

Praise and Worship songs performed:
1. I’m Held By Your Love - Karen Lim
2. Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) - Chris Tomlin

During busy holiday seasons, we should prioritize nurturing relationships over perceived perfection.
Chinese New Year is a time to reconnect with family rather than preparing the perfect steamboat.

Don’t put unnecessary laws or demands upon yourself.

When Jesus said that He “must go up to Jerusalem” to suffer and die at the cross, we see His heart to restore mankind to Himself. He wants a relationship with us.

Perfect prayer is when we see Jesus as perfectly loving us. It’s not how perfect we are—it’s how perfect He is.

When you’re sad Jesus draws near to you, just like how He drew near to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus.

Matthew 11:28-30 - Real rest is knowing that Jesus loves you. Come to Jesus and He’ll teach you how to live freely and lightly.
Jesus is God and He is love. Christians are to be recognized by their love for one another.

““Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”” (Matthew‬ ‭11:28-30‬ ‭MSG‬‬)

1 Chronicles 28:19 - This verse is about David receiving the blueprint for Solomon’s temple from the Lord.
David had a heart of worship. Jesus will teach you how to understand life.

““All this”, said David, “I have been made to understand in writing from Yahweh’s hand, even all the works of this pattern.”” (1 Chronicles‬ ‭28:19‬ ‭WEB‬)

1 Chronicles 28:20 - We need to be strong and courageous because God’s plan for our life is hard to achieve—but possible through Him.
To be a strong Christians means to fasten yourself to Jesus.
Courageous in the Hebrew has the meaning of being alert.
David personalized God as “my God”.
We will fail but God will never fail us.
Be conscious that God is with you and that He will never leave nor forsake you.

“David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed; for Yahweh God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you, nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of Yahweh’s house is finished.” (1 Chronicles‬ ‭28:20‬ ‭WEB‬)

Let God’s word come into your life. Our life’s foundation is the Grace of God.

We don’t read the Bible to find out what to do. We read it to know and believe what Jesus has done for us. Read it to see how much God loves you.

Read the Bible just to gain knowledge makes us proud, but read it to see God’s love builds us up.

Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly.

Bring your thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ (the finished work at the cross), not your own obedience to Christ.

Jesus is Immanuel—know that He is always with you through His Spirit.
​

Pastor Mark Ng shared that Jesus is the treasure of life. When we rest in Jesus' love and follow Him, He leads us to obtain good blessings at the right place in the right time.

Focus on Jesus, not on your problems

John 15:5 - You can’t gain eternal life by reading the Bible without coming to Jesus, just like how a woman cannot get pregnant by reading a book about pregnancy without going to her husband.
When you’re joined with Jesus, you are sure to become fruitful.

““I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you’re joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can’t produce a thing.” (John‬ ‭15:5 MSG‬)

When you think you can see, you’re actually blind. When you admit you can’t see, Jesus will show you more.

Emperor Kangxi began ruling at 15 years old and he wrote two poems about Jesus—“Treasure of Life” and “The Death of Christ”.
He reigned for 61 years as a virtuous emperor of China. China flourished under his rule.

Isaiah 60:2 - When we see the King Jesus, His glory will be seen upon us.
In His light, we see light.

“For, behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but Yahweh will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.” (Isaiah‬ ‭60:2‬ ‭WEB‬)

2 Timothy 4:18 - You don’t know what lies ahead in your future, but Jesus will deliver you from every evil work.
Jesus will preserve you for His heavenly kingdom—you are saved eternally and He will take you up to Heaven when the Rapture happens.

“And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom; to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.” (2 Timothy‬ ‭4:18‬ ‭WEB‬)

When you’re resting in Jesus’ love, your immune system will be built up. Draw near to Jesus.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 - Only Jesus can put you at the right place at the right time.
We cannot preempt what is going to happen to us, but the Bible teaches us to follow Jesus.
Man cannot compress time and get good results.
Crops that are forced to grow quickly are less nutritious.
But Jesus could miraculously turn water into the best wine.
With God, the best is yet to come.
If we don’t flow with Jesus, we lose good opportunities.
See Jesus first and fill yourself with His love. After that you will be prepared to meet the day’s demands.
Follow Jesus in your daily life and in every decision.
Follow Jesus and He will give you opportunities in every circumstance.
Listen to Jesus, walk in the way He leads you and you will obtain good blessings.

“I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.” (Ecclesiastes‬ ‭9:11‬ ‭NLT)

Focus on Jesus, not on your losses or the breakthrough you need.
The moment you stop obsessing over your problems—fixing your eyes on Jesus, you will see your breakthrough.

Jeremiah 29:11 - Jesus is your good future.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says Yahweh, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11‬ ‭WEB)

2 Peter 1:2 - Focus on Jesus and He will do everything good for you.

“May grace (God's favor) and peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) be multiplied to you in [the full, personal, precise, and correct] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” (2 Peter‬ ‭1:2‬ ‭AMPC‬‬)

Exodus 12:6 - There were two evenings at the cross. Through the cross, we have received much more. [ 多(much) = 夕(evening) + 夕(evening) ]

“‘And it hath become a charge to you, until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole assembly of the company of Israel have slaughtered it between the evenings;” (Exodus‬ ‭12:6‬ ‭YLT1898‬‬)

Have a love break with Jesus whenever you have some time during the day.

"Great writer and theologian. I love your work. You are in tune with the Holy Spirit."

- Pastor Dave Hammond, Faith Baptist Church of Myra, USA

"Milton Goh my brother, your insight on Grace has set me free from 20 yrs of addiction. I was a 7 time felon but by the GRACE of God I am now an ordained minister. Here is some of my story: I was saved in Dec 2016 and started evangelizing in July of 2017 as soon as I was released. My ministry has led over 800 to Jesus. I go to jails, rehabs, homeless shelters plus numerous churches! Your notes and sermons allowed me to find rest in Jesus. I was getting tired trying to perform what I thought God needed from me. You have made me realize it's 100% the CROSS and now I go constantly for Jesus but never get tired. Thanks for your wisdom and love for Jesus. May God bless you and your family!"

- Evangelist Michael Clark from Cumberland, Kentucky, USA

"Milton Goh gives common sense insight on often confusing scripture, which is much appreciated in these troubled times."

How to Fast Under Grace

$4.99

So many of our readers have asked "Do Christians have to fast?" Perhaps you are asking the same question.

The short answer is "Yes". The early church fasted and no one in the New Testament said that this spiritual practice will cease. However, New Covenant fasting is very different from Old Covenant fasting.

In this ebook, you will learn:

• The Biblical Origins of Fasting
• Why Do Christians Have to Fast Under Grace
• How Often Should You Fast
• The Earthly Benefits of New Covenant Fasting
• The Eternal Rewards of Fasting

Specially designed and written for our readers, this short but insightful booklet will shed light on fasting through the lens of Grace!

I pray that through this book, you will gain a fresh understanding of fasting like you've probably never heard or read before!

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

* Please Take Note: These sermon notes are not official New Creation Church (NCC) or Pastor Joseph Prince sermon notes. These sermon notes are not affiliated with NCC or Pastor Prince.
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!​​​
