there will be a mini sermon by uncle jajajajaja.. tml o levels chi! study smart guys! woo.. and gals =p

topic of the day : Addiction

-not everyone will be addicted when they do something, but some will, and u nv noe if u r one of the some!
so why put urself at risk? dun put so much time into something and u wun be addicted so easily =D
an addiction is like a monster, it starts small.. but as u feed it by doing it more often, it grows bigger and bigger..
it might even grow to a state where u cannot control it anymore and den it will control u!

once u get into an addiction, most likely u wun be able to escape.
like most addictions, pornography is progressive in nature. it grows.. at a constant speed? lol..
and this addiction will lead to pervertic acts . the monster of addiction running out of control..
all addictions are family affairs.. addiction do not onli affect the addict, it affects the whole family..

Jesus Christ is the onli thing u shd be addicted to.. spend more time wif HIM yea..

now when we got into an addiction, how do we get out of it?

John 6:35 , John 6:51
fulfilling the emptiness inside u.. go read the verse u lazy pig! =p

1.) find freedom in Christ.
start by learning hu Jesus is.. this is the start to coming out of ur addiction..
Luke 4:18-19
Galations 5:1 ---- Jesus sets u free.. and u fall into bondage again..
John 8:34-37
everyone hu sin is a slave to sin..

now wat to do to avoid falling into addictions? prevention is better den cure ma hahahahahahh....

1.) pray..
God always haf a way out for u.. 1 Cor 10:13 --- once again... go read the verse u lazy pig!

2.) medidate
medidate on the word of God.. Jesus's power..
Philippians 4:13
Ephesian 6:10-18
Colossians 3

anything more important den Jesus is ur addiction..
it becomes ur god.. ur master..

3.) do something else.. =D

4.) look for a prayer partner..
ask someone more spiritual den u to pray for u..

find support through counselling!

prayer and fellowship..
Matthew 6:9-13
real freedom comes when we surrender to God..
u can oso read books..
Overcoming a bad habit ----- this book is written by John mcarthar (dunno how spell >.< )

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now the mini sermon!!! jajaja...

today we gonna look at 1 Timothy chapter 2..
it teaches us abt the instructions for the church..

1.) pray for all people..
everyone nids salvation through Jesus Christ so pray for them..
there is onli one way for salvation.. pray for them to noe the one way!
and if we can pray for others, lets us oso pray for our fellow YI mate.. Ruxiang.. pls pray.. got free time = pray =D

2.) anger and controversy displease God and make prayer difficult
MAtthew 5:23-24 tells us that if neccessary, we should interrupt our prayers to make peace with others..
haf a good relationship wif both God and others..

3.) to wat degree are woman dressing up to be attractive?
women should not use fixing their hair.. pearls... dyed hair.. to look attractive.. a gentle, modest , loving character give a light to the face den even the best cosmetics cant give..
this refers to all women.. and MEN!!! haha.. let us dress submissively and respectly to Jesus.. =D

kk v naggy.. sermon notes.

Speaker: Ps Daniel
( now im missing BRO Rixiang and SIS Wanping sharing? =X )

Topic : Emotions

emotions.. can u trust them? the answer is.. NO...
emotions are powerful forces within the human mind..
one of the most powerful emotion.. FEAR
F E A R = False Evidence Appearing Real..

Emotions can deceive u.. it is not reliable.. but HEY HEY HEY...
dun keep urself away from emotions..

1.) emotions are unreliable and will control u! Do not allow that..

if u feel good, do it! = WRONG!!!
dun juz do things juz because u feel good abt it.. emotions are biased, often-changing and unreliable.. *rmb*

Maturity = ability to overule feelings and govern our behaviour wif reasons..
use ur brain! not emotions..
being mature = holding on the rash actions!
He who can control himself is mightier den the one who conquer the world..

2.) we muz take charge of our emotions..
let emotions be under you..
Galatians 5:22.. fruits of the spirit.. on of them in self-control...
our emotions are like a sin curve.. it goes up.. and goes down..
however.. we try not to be too extreme.. if not we could backslide easily =x
Romantic love is the fake appearing love..
Real love is much much deeper.. and its real!

3 things for real love..
1.) commitment of the will
2.) determination to make it work
3.) bonding

3.) even when u feel NTH, u can be close to God...

4.) emotions muz be ruled by will !!

"Make yesterday's dreams into today's hopes and tomorrow's reality"

Chapter One
One day, noodle quarrel with meat bao(bun). They had a fight but bao was too clumsy and lost badly. He was very angry and he told noodle to stay behind if he has the guts and he'll get his pals to assist him.
Meat bao went to find bread, man tou, jian bao etc to get them to reinforce him. Along the way, they saw maggi mee. They ah bish ah bish ah bish and beat maggi mee up and maggi mee beri puzzled why he kena beaten up.

He said, "Why u all beat me? What have I done to deserve this?"

The meat bao said, "Noodle! Dun think u perm your hair then we cannot recognise u!"

Chapter Two
Maggi mee, who was beaten up for no reason, was very angry. So he went to find bee hoon, udon, fried noodles etc to seek revenge. But on the way, they met small bao. Maggi mee looked at small bao for a while then told his brothers, "Bra-der! Whack him!" Maggi mee whack small bao harder & harder.

After the noodles family has left, they asked Maggi Mee why he hated small bao so much and beat him up so badly. Maggi mee said. "At first wanna teach him a small lesson only, but then see
him act cute, made me so angry."

Chapter Three
The more small bao thought of it, the more buay song he was. So, he found the bao family to whack Maggi mee. Then they found ying shi juan (noodles covered with bun). They brought him back as hostage and were about to put him on the stove to force him to talk when the bao head said, "That's not noodles! That's our undercover!"

Chapter Four
The family of bao and noodles are now enemies and they have gang fights whenever they see each other. One day, the noodles family was having a walk when they saw char siew bao alone.

Seeing the good chance, all of them attacked him. The noodles family
shouted, "Beat him hard hard! Don't give chance just because he's vomiting blood!"

Chapter Five
Poor char siew bao, with his injuries, went to the bao headquarters to look for help. All the bao family was activated and together with red bean bao, green bean bun etc. they went to seek revenge. All the passerbys siam them as they look like they will kill. They saw french fries jalan jalan along, shopping. The bao family attacked him. The bao head shouted,

"Noodle people still wear gold go shopping! Whack
him!!!"

Chapter Six
Finally, the bao family manage to kidnap noodle, the one who started up the whole show, and brought him back to the bao headquarter. All the baos took turns to whack him. At the end, the chief of baos - dua
bah bao took a final roll over noodle before they dump him.

When the poor noodle finally went home, none of the family member could recognise him bcoz he is totally disfigured - flatten. In order not to let the family bear the bad name, he appears as a new member named Mee pok.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! =D

Sermon Notes Lesson (SNL)

Life on the edge,
speaker : Ps Daniel

Confidence

the onli creatures that blush are humans.. humans are very vulnerable.
we are very sensitive, easily hurt and offended..

God intentionally made us to be vulnerable and sensitive!
Psalms 100:3 ---- know tat the Lord is the creator, and we are the sheeps of His pasture.
Jeremiah 50:6
John 10:27
all these verse refers to humans as sheeps..
now.. why sheeps? why not something majestic such as lion? dragon?

sheeps are defenseless.. tat is the reason why they need a shepherd! we need shepherd too!
once a sheep is knocked on its back by a predator, it wun even bother to turn itself up.. how lame....
they are oso not resouceful, relying on the human master to provide them wif food and stuffs..
they oso haf a spirit, one for all, all for one..
even if one jump down a cliff.. the rest follow suit..
sounds like teenagers smoking? lol.. stupid..

the pressure to conform is stronger than the need for security an well-being.
one nice quote that i like.. "We are born originals, but we die copies" LOL!

Fact: Babies, when untouched, will die!

humans nid each other.. God created us to haf fellowship wif each other.
Confidence can either make u or break u..
Human's confidence level fluctuate.. God NEVER!!!!!

how to haf confidence?

1.) Believe in Jesus
IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO PLEASE GOD
people wants God to accept them.. no matter wat u do, you cannot make God love u more.
Galatians 3:13-14
God thinks greatly of us..

2.) Stop wallowing in bitterness..
John 8:44 -- tat negative thoughts comes from the father of lies..
the devil will create an internal war inside u..
no one can make a fool of u without ur permission!!! -- similar to memory verse.. memory it =D
Let go, Let God..

3.) partnering wif Jesus
true confidence begin and end wif God.. our weakness is not an excuse to avoid responsibilities..
God wants u to juz be willing!

wwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..... sermon notes...
below the sermon notes got my mini sermon oso.. heehee.. pls read it! =D

Life on The Edge.
Speaker : Ps Daniel

the Critical Decade of ur life is 14-24 years of age.. noe why?
it is the turning point of ur life.. the critical choices of ur life is there..
ur values.. who are u gonna marry?

if u make a mistake during this critical decade.. u will be suffering the consequences later..
in everything tat u build.. for example a brick wall.. the first layer is always the most important!!
we are all travelling in the river of life.. 100% sometimes will hit turbulance!!
Rain never falls but pours <-- our cg like dun understand this when i ask >.<
it means when trouble comes.. it comes alot..
bad things can happen overnight..
you cannot avoid these turbulance.. but u can strengthen urself to face the turbulance!
Gain stability in God and go thru the turbulance..
Main point "dun exclude God from ur life"
God's strength = God's kind of result
our strength = our kind of result
God wants to be no.1 in ur life..
When God doesn't makes sense? <-- God always makes sense.

sometimes a faithful man die early.. a passionate man for God.. may die early.. and those who noe him will ask God.. WHY? WHY? WHY??
1 Cor 2:11
no one noe the thinking of God, except the spirit of God.
this means no nid ask why.. u dunno one..
Isaiah 55:8-9
God thoughts are not our thoughts

1Cor 13:12 ---- impt!
you may onli noe God a little bit now.. but there will come on day when we come face to face wif God.. den we will understand everything.. heaven time!

now.. why do christians always tink they shd haf a smooth life?

1.) it is not in men's nature to want to suffer.
Jesus told his disciples for sure they will suffer.

2.) 4 spiritual laws.
-bible says God has a wonderful plan for u..
RMB! ur thoughts are not God's thoughts.. his wonderful is not same as urs..
anything in harmony in His will would be a wonderful plan..
Romans 8:28
in trouble, we can have joy and peace too..
suffering is a measure.. anyone can stay faithful in peaceful times..

3 points on how to stable..
1.) continue to obey God even when u dun understand the circumstances..
2.) trust God beyond wat u can see..
3.) recognise turbulances are opportunities to know God more intimately..

hey this is for Ken Lim..
yoyo.. u may not noe.. but ur actions will influence someone to want to be like u.. ur rewards are in heaven! mightily! ur faith machiam nv waver one.. so continue to stay faithful and strong for our Lord Jesus Christ!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

weee.. mini sermon! =D

to add on to Ps Daniel sermon..

Jesus suffered when he was on earth..
bible says, no student is better den his teacher. no slave is better den his master..
since Jesus suffered when he was on earth.. we should expect even more sufferings!

The End. =D

Chua Wee Kiat!!! one of the oldest members... been with me since sec 1, since the opening of zealot... first we started out with no name, den named oikios junior, den on and on... cell leader from ri xiang to teck soon to liang zhi.. we've seen people come and go... yuqi, chenzhou, kenny... to now liang zhi, derek, ken quak... thank God that you're faithful even till now!! jia you!! press on!! dun let your fire die down, instead, lead zealot with wisdom and understanding...

Julia Ong!!! as you see this, i wan you to think back... from where you started, being rude and vulgar and all, to now this... praising God for everything... you have brought us countless encouragements, even when you din realise it!! encouragement does not come in the form of cards, but in the form of what you do.... from they very fact that you changed into a more christlike person, the oldies are really encouraged... amen, oldies...? haha...

Teo Xuele!! really kena influence by us.... last time quiet and softspoken... now still soft, but alot more lame and open... realise what God have done in your life and praise him for it!!! i even thank God for your faithfullness in zealot, you are, after all, one of the key supporters of zealot... supporters are as important as leaders... Joshua led Israel into war while Moses prayed... when Moses stop praying, Israel lost... but when Moses continued to pray, they won!! in mordern football context, if Djibril Cisse wasn't there to cross the ball in, Steven Gerrard might not have the chance to score!!! liangzhi say amen!!

Sabring Sng!! aka kim jio!! i purposely used yellow here... we've been through thick and thin as a cell group... and you are faithful even till now... will you be faithful till the end...? look at siew ling's life... her parents finally open up... on day God will also open your father up!! not as in operation, but open his mind!!! dun worry, God wun disect his brain... but you have to push on... take the step of faith... just as the priest carrying the ark of covenant took the first step into the gushing river of jordan, you have to take the first step for your father's mind to open!! jia you and continue to pray for Him!!

Alvin Sim!!! another one that i knew since the beginning of zealot... one of the first ones to lead me in my life with God... even opened up his house for us as a place for cell group... thank you for all you've done for zealot... we went through many ordeals together... even if life is struggling right now, hang on brother... i pray that God will save you from this mess you're in right now... the strongholds in your life He will take away... and He will give you rest... but for now, hang in there... the rescue team is on it's way... press on...

Joanne!!! life is like a storm now, eh...? problems seems too big to solve...? but remember, whatever big problems you have will look like the tiniest speck of dust to God... He have handled all kinds of problems since only He knows when, and i believe He is able to solve yours... you are His daughter and He loves you, of course He wants to help you through!! just one question... have you fully Let go and Let God...? cling on to it no longer... Let go completely, and Let God completely take the steering wheel...

Ng Qin Ching!! one of the first girls in our cell group!!! it was actually all boys de loh, until YOU ALL came in... lol, but more the merrier!!! as you are stressed down by your parents with SUPER HIGH expectations in your exams, you jia you hor!!! burden is very heavy, but cling onto God, not your problems!! even as you are facing parents issue, ask God for a way out... for with Him, all things are not impossible!!! mission impossible my foot!!! (btw the movie is out and we watch it... nt bad...) every mission is possible in God!!! believe in your heart!!

Yongquan!! once lost, thank God you are found!!! loving brother, continue to love each other!!! even exams are hard, and there are circumstances in life which you totally hate... >.< these are tests for you from God!! are you going to throw your hands in the air and say "i give up" or will you look towards God and ask for strength...? seek Him and He will surely be found... jia you and press on, do not, i repeat, do not give up yet!!! God never gave up on you!!

anymore...? like no more le hor...? yay!! can go sleep le!!! hahaz... zhi, never forget you lah!!!
Yoong Liang Zhi, aka cell leader... he's the guy that stands in front and leading us into His kindgom!!! you better lead well hor!! the lives of 30 over men are in your hands!! feel the pressure...? MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

but dun worry, zealot will always be watching your back in case you fall!! ever since you taken the cell group from teck soon, the cell group grew and grew... it have reached even greater heights with your leadership... without your constant support and encouragement, we may not have made it so far... personally, you know me almost inside out, my chow guans and personality... we see each other everyday, and the bond between us is like a bond between caecium and florine... super strong, almost imseperable!! for all the support, leadership and guidiance you have given to zealot and me, i want to thank you for all that... people reading this, please tag in the tagboard encouraging him!! it's high time we do something for him, instead of always receiving from him!!! thanks, my dear friend...
