12 June 2022 - Be Exalted By God’s Mighty Hand - New Creation Church Sermon Notes - Pastor Lim Lian NeoNew Sermon Notes: Pastor Lian taught us how God wants us to stop relying on our own puny hands and instead depend on His mighty hand to exalt us in due time! Praise and Worship Song Performed: 1. (Don’t know the name of the song) 2. Everlasting - New Creation Worship 3. Glorious And Beautiful - New Creation Worship 4. In Whom I Can Trust - Steven Wee Our God is a happy God. Our Gospel is the Gospel of the Happy God. Isaiah 60:1-2 - We are living in dark times, but we have Jesus the light of the world in us shining through. ““Arise, shine; for your light has come, and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you! 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 60:1-2 WEBUS) Exodus 33:18-19 - When God’s glory is seen on you, it means you are experiencing His goodness. Even though there is darkness in the world, we can still receive God’s goodness! “Moses said, “Please show me your glory.” He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim Yahweh’s name before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”” (Exodus 33:18-19 WEBUS) 1 Peter 5:6-7 - In this time of adversity, do not depend on your puny hand, but on God’s mighty hand. When you do this, you will not stay under. He will exalt you. The word “exalt” in Greek is “hypsoo” which can mean “to raise to the very summit of opulence and prosperity”. It also has the meaning of “to raise to dignity, honor, and happiness”. The imagination has creative power. Allow this picture of God exalting you to fill your heart. God will raise you from the place of stressful-ness to happiness. There is a journey to being exalted “in due time”. In the meantime, we keep casting all our worries unto the Lord because He cares for us. “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 5:6-7 WEBUS)
