Matthew 5:14-16 - How can be the light of the world when we have no light in and of ourselves? This message will explore that.

“You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬-‭16‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬)

Teachers, your words have an impact on your students.

Mark 4:13-20 - Jesus graciously explained the parable of the seed and the sower.
The devil does not wait to steal God’s word from your heart. He knows that God’s word can change your life.
This parable is setting the context for Jesus’ words in the next few verses.

“He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables? The farmer sows the word. The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them. These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy. They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble. Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word, and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.” (Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭20‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬)

Mark 4:21-23 - The moment you received Jesus as Lord, your light was lit and you became the light of the world. You are now walking in the light.

“He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn’t it put on a stand? For there is nothing hidden except that it should be made known, neither was anything made secret but that it should come to light. If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”” (Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭21‬-‭23‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬)

The Book of Revelation is primarily the revelation of Jesus Christ, not of the Antichrist.

The golden lamp-stand represents both Jesus as well as the church. Jesus is the head of the church (His body).

The best place for you to shine is within the church. Everything good you do (shining as a light) points towards the central shaft (Jesus).

New Sermon Notes: Pastor Gabriel showed us how we could become the light of the world when we have no light in and of ourselves. We can arise and shine because the Lord has lit us up!

You become the light of the world when you receive Jesus as Lord

John 8:1-12 - You don’t have to beg people to hear Jesus. They will be drawn to Him by the Holy Spirit—just invite them and let the Spirit work.
The Lord gave the woman the gift of no condemnation so that she could have the power to go and sin no more.
The moment the woman received Jesus as “Lord,” she began to walk in the light.

“but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle, they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act. Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?” They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger. But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.” Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger. They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle. Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.” Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”” (John‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭12‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬)

Psalm 119:130 - Receiving God’s word gives light.
Even if a sermon is not directly about the challenges you are facing, God’s power can still touch you and deliver the breakthrough you need.

“The entrance of your words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.” (Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭130‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬)

John 9:1-7 - Jesus priority is to meet a need, not to find fault. Prioritize what the Lord prioritizes.
Jesus is the “sent one”. The Greek word is the same as the one for “apostle” which also means sent ones.

“As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him. I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud, and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.” (John‬ ‭9‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭WEBUS‬)

Luke 4:18-19 - Jesus declared Himself as the sent one.

““The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”” (Luke‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭WEBUS‬)

2 Corinthians 4:3-6 - We do not draw attention to ourselves but to Jesus Christ.
We shine brighter and brighter when we allow the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ into our hearts.
It is the Lord who lights us up and keeps us shining for His glory.

“Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying, in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake, seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” (2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬)

Numbers 6:24-26 - You can see the Gospel here: grace and peace. Greetings with grace and peace are also how the apostle Paul begins and ends many of his epistles in the New Testament.

“‘Yahweh bless you, and keep you. Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you. Yahweh lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.’” (Numbers‬ ‭6‬:‭24‬-‭26‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬)

Isaiah 60:1-5 - Your light has come. Declare upon yourself: Arise, shine!

““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. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. “Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather themselves together. They come to you. Your sons will come from far away, and your daughters will be carried in arms. Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you. The wealth of the nations will come to you.” (Isaiah‬ ‭60‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬)

Messiah's Miracles—The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ

$9.99 $7.99

I have prayed for others and seen instant healing miracles and received supernatural words of knowledge about them. I have also received miracles through prayer and others praying for me.

The Bible clearly reveals God’s will for every believer to walk in the miraculous. If you’re tired of a Christian walk that has no evidence of God’s manifested power, all it takes is to replace some wrong beliefs so that unbelief can be cast out. This is what I believe the Holy Spirit wants to do through this book.

Under the New Covenant of Grace, every blessing is received by faith. Faith comes by hearing about Jesus and this book is all about Jesus and designed to impart faith to the reader. During Jesus’ ministry on earth, He didn’t work any miracles by His own authority as God. He relied completely on faith in His Father and the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit purposefully chose 37 of Jesus’ miracles to be recorded in the four gospels. This is no coincidence. Each miracle reveals something powerful about our Lord Jesus. As you behold Jesus' love, grace and mercy expounded in these 37 miracles, I believe that you will see miracles erupt in your own life!

Testimonials from readers:

“One of my most trusted teachers has truly written a masterpiece. I can't put this book down.”
- Michael Clark, Highly Sought-After Preacher in USA

“Thank you, Milton for the anointed sharing of the 37 miracles of Jesus. Right from the 1st miracle, God dropped fresh revelations of His heart to me. It wasn't head knowledge that I experienced. I felt His personality, His loving heart's intents towards me. On top of that, there's also revelation of His healing power. Praise Jesus for transforming my heart and bringing me closer to Him through Milton's sharing.”
- Ann Tan, GEM patron from Singapore

All My Sermon Notes eBooks

$79.00 $39.00

Some people don't buy any sermons because of 'choice paralysis'. There's so many messages to choose from, but they don't know which one they want to get. Even if they bought all the sermons, few people have the time to watch 300 hours worth of sermons to see which messages they like.

If you were to buy each sermon at $10, you'd have to spend approximately $3000 or more to get all the sermons in this collection.

Get all my 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 sermon notes in a downloadable and printable eBook format for only US$39 (limited time sale price). That's 7 books in total!

They were meticulously compiled and they are the precious fruit of many hundreds of hours of work since 2014. If you knew exactly how much work and heart went into it, you would say that it's too reasonably priced!

These sermon notes eBooks are easy to read. You can finish reading the points of each sermon in under 10 mins. They can act as a catalogue for you to browse through the sermons and see which ones you want to purchase. After reading the points, you may want to buy the sermon so you can hear exactly how the point was delivered by the speaker.

You can enjoy these sermon notes eBooks even without internet connection and if you're like me who likes reading physical books, you can print them out and even make your own annotations on them during your personal Bible study time with God.

Testimonial about Milton's sermon notes:

"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!"
- Michael from Cumberland, Kentucky, USA

"Very encouraging simplified sermons. Needed it especially when I cannot attend church due to family commitments. They heighten my knowledge of God. God is good all the time! Thanks for sharing this Milton. May the Lord bless you."
- Nicole Ng, Singapore

"I write with heartfelt thanks to the man of God (Milton Goh) for having developed the idea of giving a chance to a people you didn't know but thought that they needed this wonderful and amazing message of GRACE. Indeed I Moreen (Ugandan) plus my other fellow brethren from different countries and continents are being blessed. Our hopes are raised high, the guilt and condemnation disappear, our fears and insecurities go despite the surrounding circumstances when we reach out to your blog."
- Mukyala Moreen, Uganda

"Hi Mr. Milton Goh, first of all I would like to say “Praise God and thank you so much Mr. Milton. You are such an answered prayer for me. I was really blessed by your blog. It opened my mind to the reality that there is still more than I can do for my Savior. Your blog melted my heart so much for God and pushed me to desire Jesus more. Your powerful notes anointed by the Lord through the Holy Spirit that you have shared will greatly help me for the expansion and growth of my ministry as well as my relationship with my God. I pray that God will continue to use you to inspire, motivate and uplift dying souls. I pray and I believe some day in the future I will be given a chance to encounter a (real encounter) with a servant of Jesus like you. Be richly blessed by God Mr. Milton and your family as well."
- Christine from Makati City, Philippines

"Yours are the best I have ever seen! They should be the official church sermon notes! ... I need to share again. This is written by a young man at NCC Pastor Prince epic amazing sermon notes! This should be in an official publication, it's so professional...! I love your sermon notes! Would like to eventually meet you and give you a gift!"

Testimonials for "Younger and Younger":

"I have been speaking the youth declarations in the book. The other day when I had lunch with a friend, we bumped into her friends who thought that I am my friend's daughter; we are about 10 years difference of age. Praise the Lord for His renewal!" - Ann Tan from Singapore

"After embarking on "Younger and Younger" for the day, I managed to run about 3.2 km which I normally can't. I realized that it's the kind of distance I ran during the days of my youth; I am seeing that God is multiplying my days to be more youthful, healthier, and stronger. Praise Jesus! Thank you brother Milton for obeying Jesus and taking us on this journey." - Alwin Seeni from Singapore

Silencing the Serpent: How Christians Can Be Victorious in Spiritual Warfare

$9.99 $7.99

Lies, seduction, intimidation. These are some of the serpent’s choicest weapons to use against Christians. In this book, you will learn how to recognize Satanic deceptions and stand firm in the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You will be introduced to certain beliefs that the devil uses to trap believers with, and how he tries to draw Christians away from God’s word. For every wrong belief, you’ll receive the corresponding right belief according to Gospel truth based on Jesus’ finished work at the cross. Replacing wrong beliefs, casting out fears and the renewal of your mind with each chapter will surely cause many demonic bondages and strongholds to be broken by the power of the Holy Spirit. It's time to silence the serpent for good!

Reviews about “Silencing the Serpent”:

“I am fully blessed by this book. My heart has has been filled with peace and joy since I read it. Wrong beliefs and strongholds are loosing their hold on me.” - Loise from USA

"Thank you brother Milton for this amazing book. It has been much needed in my current season when I'm going through so much demonic attack through people supposedly close to me. God has used the Word to remind me that He is with me ALL the way and that I should have NO fear. No weapon formed against me can prosper and every tongue raised against me in judgement I have the power to condemn with ALL the weapons of warfare given to us by God. I'm blessed and grateful to God for using you to assure me of His Mighty Presence--that He will never leave me nor forsake me. Hallelujah & Amen!" - Shally Joseph from India

"Milton Goh, I downloaded your book and it was God's appointed time for my breakthrough. He destroyed a stronghold in my life that was rooted on a lie. A light just went on in an instant and the Lord uprooted a wrong belief. I struggled now for years with a relationship and I believed a lie that a sin I committed in the past was unforgivable, and I judged the other person for the same sin. It was unconscious and I didn't know that I was bound by this lie. When I read a chapter in this book, about strongholds in the mind, the Holy Spirit revealed it to me in a flash and it was as if the walls of Jericho were tumbling down! Thanks for this book--it is from the Lord!" - Antoinette Hurter Keyser from South Africa

"A short testimony to share after reading the chapter about girding up our loins with the TRUTH. After reading it, I met some of my colleagues and the first thing they told me was, "You are fat, you put on weight," not even "Hi, hello, how are you..." At first, I was sad over the remarks. But almost immediately, I was reminded of truth of God's Word which says that "I am highly favored, beloved of Jesus, and Jesus sees me as fit and healthy. I am not defined by what others say, but by what Jesus says!" After that, I carried on with work and went for my run and managed to complete close to 5km. Something which I have never done before. All praise and glory to Jesus. Thank you, brother Milton for your teaching on the armor of God shared in this book! - Alwin Seeni from Singapore

"Thank you brother Milton. Your insights are a blessing. God bless you with many more beautiful revelations." - Shirley Thomas from India

God's Appointed Time - Being Fruitful in Every Season of Life

$7.99

Understanding God’s appointed time will allow you to flow with what He is doing and experience profound peace in all situations.

Many believers are frustrated and even bitter against God because they lack the revelation about God’s system of times and seasons.

They want things to happen in their own way, at their own time, and when it doesn’t happen as expected, they throw tantrums.

In this eBook, which is a compilation of thirty devotionals I have written on this topic, you will learn how to receive God's grace for every moment of time, and even speak and do things so aligned with the Holy Spirit—effectively acting as one.

This is what Shally, a sister-in-Christ, said about "God's Appointed Time": "Thanks for this awesome series, Milton. I have been very blessed and need to hear so many truths in it because of the season I am currently in. I was looking for answers and they came daily in your messages. Blessings in Christ Jesus to you and family. May your seed multiply and grow in His Grace and righteousness."

As a launch offer to get this eBook in the hands of as many readers as possible, I am offering "God's Appointed Time" at a 25% discount for 1 day only. Order and download your copy of the eBook before the offer ends! Looking forward to reading your feedback and reviews about it soon!

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!

Many blessings and thanks to Justina Ng, Shirley Thomas, and Terence So for supporting this blog as our Superabundant Grace tier patrons!
