service feedback on new man

Eugene: New behaviours, it’s not just about feelings, I feel like doing this, doing that, but we have the choice to follow God and overcome our emotions. New partners are very important! In school and church to encourage, cause it’s not easy to follow Christ all the way. That’s why you need Christian friends to also join you and to give you strength to follow Christ. It’s worth following Christ!

Chengyu: In the past, I’ve always thought that loneliness is a bad emotion. However, today I see the other side of how loneliness can help me in my walk with God. Now I know that in loneliness, I can find God and even grow close to him!

Timothy: I think that service was different today especially because of the sitting arrangement which was good because it doesn’t really “force” a person in a way like before when everyone is “forced” to go to the front. The sermon was good and succinct.

Sufan: I was living in a lie where I think: why should u work hard when no one else is doing the same? Why should I be the only one doing so much. New self: understands that everything that I do, God sees it. I’ve also recognise that I’ve got to start taking action in wanting more of Him. From Karyn’s mouth: “every tear of yours, he keeps in a bottle.” This shows how precious I am to him. ( i said that to her when i was praying for her. how cool! =] God is so cool. i really thank Him that the prayer encouraged her and reminded/told her how precious she is to Him)

Caoyu: What struck me the most about the sermon was the part about seeking new partnerships. I want to be active in whom I can reach out to and reach out to me spiritually. God also put forth the idea that it is not only in church that we find new partnerships, but I think he wants me to reach out to the people in my class. Cos I’ve been thinking of initiating this “Class Chapel” thing like we used to have in MGS, and that’s when I realised the reason he placed other MG girls in my class and I hope to spread the word of God around.

Karyn: What God spoke to me about today was that I have to do something drastic so that I can put off my old self and put on my new self. I pray that I will take that step because my heart’s cry is to please God!
Eileen: Today’s service is very timely after the previous 2 services on finding the truth! It’s very difficult and uncomfortable to get rid of the lies of the world and change from what I am very used to doing… I’m glad that today’s service speaks to me that I am normal, it’s really hard to change into a new self But perseverance is really needed and praying for God’s help continuously will work so that I can be comfortable in my new self!

Grace: the new seating arrangement showed me that God can be praised everywhere, not just in certain settings (like at the front) although shorter in length, the sermon was applicable to me! I’m desperate for my life to be used for the best.

Alex: I really felt God’s presence during P&W… dancing for him and just freely giving me self to God. It’ll take work from me to not be entirely self-conscious. God spoke to me by reminding me what he told me about obedience. And I thank him also for repeatedly showing his love for me. It was wonderful. Now, it’ll be and it has to be God's agenda, not mine, too many times, I’ve given into my emotion.

Wenning: Today’s service is awesome! What spoke to me the most was the part about how desperate u want to get out of Satan’s lies. It really spoke specifically to me a lot: the part about the new clothing, the old wineskin and new wineskin.

Annabel: I thought that God’s word was very timely. I always wanted to get rid of what people thought of me, and today is about getting rid of our old selves and putting on our new selves. During the alter call, when Karyn prayed for me, she prayed the exact same thing that I wanted to be prayed for. It wasn't a general prayer, it was specific! How amazing that is! Thank God.

Chapmen: I’ve learned about the way we behave in today’s sermon. Our behaviours are the gif of God as it allows us to have emotions. I’ve also learned that emotions may make us go further from God and to overcome this, we must have new partnerships.

Ken: While I was reading my bible, the chapter about new man caught my eyes, it seems like there is a message today, and God reinforced it! Guiding me on how to transform my mind.
