30 January 2022 - Blessings Arriving At Your Door - New Creation Church Sermon Notes - Pastor Mark Ng Chinese New Year SermonNew Sermon Notes: Pastor Mark Ng showed us how Gospel truths are hidden in plain sight in the Mandarin language. Under Grace, we receive God’s blessings by focusing on and proclaiming our righteousness in Christ. Praise and Worship Song Performed: 1. Anthem Of Grace - New Creation Worship 2. God You’re So Good - Brett Younker Matthew 6:26-34 - We do not need to worry about the things that the world worries about. God will supply all our needs. We only need to focus on His righteousness (which is Jesus). “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they? “Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith? “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.” (Matthew 6:25-34 WEB) Roman’s 14:17 - The kingdom of God is about His righteousness (Jesus). “for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 14:17 WEB) The Mandarin word for righteousness is義. In this word, there are parts that show the Gospel story: the Lord from Heaven is King and He became our sacrificial Lamb so that we can be found in Him and have His righteousness. 2 Corinthians 5:21 - Jesus became sin for us so that we have become the righteousness of God in Christ. “For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Corinthians 5:21 WEB) Romans 3:24 - We have been saved freely through God’s grace. “being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;” (Romans 3:24 WEB) Roman’s 4:25 - Praise the Lord because Jesus has been raised from the dead. This means our sins have really been forgiven. “who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.” (Romans 4:25 NKJV) Philippians 4:19 - God’s supply and provision is found in Christ Jesus. In life, let us pursue Jesus. “My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19 WEB) Chinese New Year features a lot of red and gold colors. Red reminds us of Jesus’ blood and gold about divine righteousness (we received the gift of righteousness). Thanks to this, we can receive every blessing of God. Abba God’s heart is full of love for His Son Jesus.
