31 December 2017 - New Mindset for the New Year - New Creation Church Sermon Notes Online - Pastor Mark NgOur heart is not made to be satisfied by the things of this world. Joke by Pastor Mark Ng: God made the heavens and the earth and everything else is made in China. We always need to draw near to Jesus and He will give us the rest that we need. Under the Law, and the sacrificial sheep has to be a firstborn because God wants to give us the Firstborn Blessing. It has to be without blemish because God wants to give us righteousness. The person bringing the offering had to place his hands on the sheep because God wants us to touch Jesus. When we touch Jesus, we touch eternity and experience a rest. Jesus was judged for all our sins and we can expect good to happen to us because we have received Jesus’ righteousness. We can be restful because of what Jesus has done for us. II Corinthians 5:21 - God’s power is not in fasting or in prayer. It is in the gospel. The gospel is the revelation of the righteousness of God imputed to us. “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (II Corinthians 5:21 NKJV) Proverbs 4:20-23 - Everything is from the inside out. It all begins in the heart. When you go after money, it always flies away. Guard your heart - your heart is like a projector: whatever is inside will be manifested outside. We are always meditating day and night. But what are you meditating on? We need to meditate on God’s word day and night and everything we do will prosper. “My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:20-23 NKJV) The gospel is that we all fail but God still loves us. Life is like the waves of the sea - sometimes it goes up, sometimes it comes down. We need to fix our eyes on Jesus and we’ll be able to walk above the waves.
