God’s goodness cannot be overstated or exaggerated. His goodness is above all or we can think or imagine—He is good all the time.

God has a special heart for those who are trapped in prison—it may not be a literal prison, but it could be a prison of sickness, hopelessness, depression, addiction, etc.
God wants to set you free!

Luke 4:16-19 - Jesus read from Isaiah 61 which was written more than 700 years before Jesus came to earth.
Jesus added something to this passage in the book of Isaiah and did not read something in it.
He added “recovery of sight to the blind”. This is a Messianic sign, to prove that He is the Messiah.
Everything else that Jesus read can be done by anyone. Only the miracle of giving sight to the blind proves that one qualified to be the Messiah.

“He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written, “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 ‭4:16-19‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Isaiah 61:1-2 - This is the original passage Jesus read from.

“The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me; because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of Yahweh’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;” ‭‭(Isaiah‬ ‭61:1-2‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Isaiah 42:6-9 - Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah would open blind eyes.

““I, Yahweh, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations; to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison. “I am Yahweh. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images. Behold, the former things have happened, and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up.”” ‭‭(Isaiah‬ ‭42:6-9‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Blood makes atonement for your soul. We are made righteous because of the blood of Jesus. His blood sets us free from the condemnation and power of sin.

If God can love Barabbas, then He loves you too and will set you free

Mark 15:6-7 - At Passover, the Jews could choose one criminal to be released.
Barabbas had rebelled against the Roman government and he was a murderer who was on death row.

“Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him. There was one called Barabbas, bound with his fellow insurgents, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.” ‭‭(Mark‬ ‭15:6-7‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Matthew 27:15-18 - Barabbas was a notorious prisoner—someone known for his wickedness.
Pilate’s wife had already told Pilate that Jesus was a righteous, good man.
Pilate also knew that the religious leaders of Israel had delivered Jesus to him because of jealousy.
God is very deliberate in letting us know that His Son is innocent and sinless. Even from the lips of a Gentile governor, Jesus is declared to be innocent.
Barabbas means “Son of the Father”. His name is very generic since everyone is a son of a father.
Jesus and Barabbas were both sons of a father.
Jesus was the only begotten Son of God the Father.
Barabbas was initially scheduled to be executed on that very day.
Barabbas must have been feeling like a lucky man to be set free.
God loves Barabbas—He orchestrated for Jesus to be crucified instead of Barabbas.
He loves even the worst of sinners. If God loves Barabbas, He also loves you—Barabbas represents us who sinned against God.
Jesus went on to be crucified between two thieves.
God loved them so much that He gave them the opportunity to believe in Jesus before their deaths.
Both thieves started off mocking Jesus, but one of the thieves repented and he went to Paradise upon his death.
You continue to exist after death. Your soul is eternal.
Everyone has to reckon with the truth that everyone has sinned and everyone’s soul is eternal.
There were three prisoners that day and Jesus set two out of three free.
Barabbas was set free physically, whereas the repentant thief on the cross was set free spiritually.

“Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired. They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?” For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.” ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭27:15-18‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

It’s only by Jesus’ shed blood that we can be set free from the prison of sin.
Back inthe Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve used fig leaves to cover their nakedness after they sinned, but leaves cant provide any covering—it’s bloodless.
God covered them with animal skins—it means blood was shed.

Ephesians 1:7 - Only by the shedding of blood can we receive forgiveness of sins.
When you’re in Christ, you always have the forgiveness of sins and can’t lose it.

“in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,” ‭‭(Ephesians‬ ‭1:7‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Leviticus 17:11 - Blood makes atonement for your soul. We are made righteous because of the blood of Jesus.
His blood sets us free from the condemnation and power of sin.

“For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.” ‭‭(Leviticus‬ ‭17:11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Romans 5:9 - You can’t justify yourself. Only Jesus’ shed blood can.

“Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.” ‭‭(Romans‬ ‭5:9‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Above everything else about Jesus, we need to remember that He shed His blood for the forgiveness of our sins

Grace is for all believers, at every stage of our walk with God—not just for baby Christians or unbelievers to get saved.

Jesus wanted to forgive even those up crucified Him. It wasn’t the Roman soldiers that put Jesus on the cross—it was our sins that did it.

Acts 7:59-60 - Jesus prayed for the Father not to hold the sin of crucifying Him against His persecutors first before He asked the Father to receive His spirit.
On the other hand, Stephen pray for himself first before he prayed for others.
Jesus is always thinking about us first.

“They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” He kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!” When he had said this, he fell asleep.” ‭‭(Acts‬ ‭7:59-60‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Matthew 26:26-28 - Out of everything about Jesus, we need to remember His shed blood and His death at the cross.
The Lord’s Supper was instituted by Jesus Himself, not by the early church or the apostles.
It is the way we remember Jesus’ finished work at the cross.
His blood has the power to break every power that has imprisoned you.

“As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it, for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.” ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭26:26-28‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Hebrews 8:10-12 - This is the New Covenant. God promised never to remember your sins.

““For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days,” says the Lord; “I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people. They will not teach every man his fellow citizen, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all will know me, from their least to their greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more.”” ‭‭(Hebrews‬ ‭8:10-12‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

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.

*New sermon notes ebooks beyond 2021 are not guaranteed as there is no leading to continue at the moment. If there are any new ones, you will receive them for free if you are a customer who bought this product before. Just show me the email confirmation receipt as proof for redemption of the new ebooks.

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

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."

"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."

* 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!

Many blessings and thanks to Terence Koh, Shanice Ng, Jeremie Tay and Justina Ng for supporting this blog as our Superabundant Grace tier patrons!
