2 August 2020 - Yahweh is your Portion - Pastor Lawrence Lim Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Lawrence Lim encouraged us with a timely sermon brimming with Biblical hope. Because the Lord Yahweh is your portion, everything that He has and that He is also belongs to you! Confess that and expect good things to happen to you every day. Praise and worship songs performed: 1. Give Me This Mountain - New Creation Worship 2. Here I Bow - Bethel Music James 4:13-14 - Life is vulnerable to sudden change. This COVID-19 pandemic has shown it. “Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow let’s go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit.” Whereas you don’t know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.” (James 4:13-14 WEB) Despite the troubles around, the Lord is still with you. He is for you and He loves you. The children of Israel were in Egypt but they were not afflicted by the plagues that struck the Egyptians. We are in the world but not of the world. Psalm 42:5 - When the world says “hope”, they use it to refer to something they desire to have, but are unsure whether it will come true. But Biblical hope is a confident expectation of good things to come. It means you will surely have what you prayed for. Even though you feel frustrated, disappointed or cast down, remind yourself to hope in God. “Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.” (Psalms 42:5 WEB) Psalm 23:4 - Always remember that God is with you, even in dark seasons. Shepherds use the rod to fend off wolves that try to attack the flock. The rod represents God’s protection against enemies. The shepherd uses the staff to direct the sheep back to the right path. The staff represents God’s guidance. “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalms 23:4 WEB) Psalm 119:105 - God’s word is the staff that guides us. “Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.” (Psalms 119:105 WEB)
