Sunday Worship Service on June 12, 2011. Sermon on Spiritual Warfare, Living Biblically by Pastor Vincent Liew
Greeting to you. Here is another exciting sermon on the theme Spiritual Warfare and Living Biblically. This time, Pastor Vincent Liew is sharing with us about the word devoted and its meaning as found in dictionaries. He mentioned that the key word is our devotion to God which is what the enemy wants to draw it away from us. There are consequences in a battle. The enemy comes in subtle way. What is the issue before us. What areas of our life are affected.
Three areas on contention for our devotion to God. Firstly is on our trust and obedience, secondly, sacrificing and surrendering and thirdly on compromise. Let us begin to look at Holy Bible on God's Words in Genesis Chapter 2 verses 15-17on Adam and Eve. They do not have role models or counselors to refer to or books of reference to turn to like us today where we have the bible, because they are the first humans God created. They have to listen to God. Next we look at Genesis Chapter 3 verses 1-5. We are to obey God or we tend to justify our action by misinterpreting God's Words. It is not about how much we know about the Words of God but how much we obey God and trust Him.
The choices we made have good and bad consequences. Look at Genesis Chapter 3 verses 14-17.Do we trust every Words of God? We zealously proclaiming the promises of God but we rarely proclaim the commandments of God. Let us refer to Exodus Chapter 24 verse 12. On Abraham's devotion to God, we look at Genesis chapter 22 where Abraham were to sacrifice his only son, Isaac which God has given to him and bored by his wife, Sarah at an old age. We learned that Abraham was obeying God and trusting Him and God blessed him and his descendants abundantly. When our devotion to God is challenged especially in our present day living, we often tend to compromise our obedience and trust in God's Words and failing to uphold biblical living of our lives. Let us repent for our compromised positions and look to God and to obey Him, trusting His Words and commandments. Be devoted to Him.
Hope you are blessed by God and the sharing of His Words.

Sunday Worship Service on June 5th, 2011, Spiritual Wafare & Living Biblically. Sermon by Pastor Ooi Kheng Boon
On the topic of Spiritual warfare, it is not Satan or what we are doing against him to win or confronting Satan. It is also not about rebuking and binding the demon. It is about biblical living our lives. Most of us might have heard of generational curse. A generational curse meant that you are punished for what your ancestor had done in the past. This can be traced to history in 1906 where there was the Pentecostal movement which was termed as the first wave. In 1960's, it was the charismatic movement. Then in the 1980's and 1990's there were several renown preachers and writers who consisted the third wave when they taught us on renouncing and rebuking the sins of our forefather for what they had done in the past that brought the generational curse upon us. We were taught to pray the prayers to renounce it and to break the bondage. Is this scriptural?
Let us explore this matter with an open mind as we look closely as the Hebrew word for inequities. We look into the scriptures on the holy bible at the book of Exodus Chapter 20 verses 5 and 6, sin of idolatry and Exodus Chapter 34 on the Ten Commandments. Then in the books of Numbers Chapter 14 verse 18 and Deuteronomy Chapter 5 verses 9, 10 and so on. Other references made on the book of Ezekiel Chapter 18 and Jeremiah Chapter 31 verse 29" In those days people will no longer say, The fathers have eaten our sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge. Verse 30 Instead, everyone will die for his own sin, whoever eats sour grapes- his own teeth will be set on edge. Who is the one who is laying the curse on you? If it is God, let us deal with Him directly. We look at the New Testament and Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. reference is made to Galatians 3:13. There is only one curse that is being made from one generation to generation for what is known a Adamic curse as we examine the book of Genesis Chapter 3 verse 6. All succeeding generation and all humanity has been cursed. The wage of sin is death. We also look at 2 Corinthians Chapter 5 verses 17-19.Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconcialiation; that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation (NIV). Repentance for our sin and for our own life. It is not about renouncing of our forefather's sin. It is about repentance for our own life that is not right with God, our faith in Christ and following Him.
May God bless you richly.

Sunday Worship Service on April 17, 2011 with Pastor Vincent Liew
Pastor Vincent Liew from BMBC delivered his sermon to the BMBC Congregation following the theme for the Months of March and April which is Vision, Faith and Obedience. It was Palm Sunday. Coming up would be the Good Friday and Easter Sunday or he preferred to call it Resurrection Sunday. We have an insight from him on God's Vision for us and about the faith and obedience as seen in the life of Prophet Elijah. Many of us have our personal Vision for Life and also Vision in our secular and corporate world. Humanly inspired vision is generally self desire and self serving. Vision, Faith and Obedience come in a package. Vision from God or the divine vision that come from the heart of God is outward focused and it is never about us but about somebody else.
BMBC Vision : To be an Authentic and Visible Community of Christ-like Relationships, Character and Vocation, impacting the community in Bukit Mertajam and beyond. Glory to God not BMBC.
Reference is made to the book of Holy Bible 1 King Chapter 16 verses 29-34 on King Ahab did more evils than all the kings before him. God pronounce judgement on the nation of Israel because of the sins of King Ahab. He also mentioned about Prophet Elijah in 1King Chapter 17. He noted and asked us to examine on how Prophet Elijah pray and petition to God with his head between his knees as described in the Holy Bible. May you be blessed by the sharing of our Pastor Vincent Liew from his sermon on that Sunday.
The administrator would like to apologize for the delay in posting it for your viewing and listening.
Sunday Worship Service March 20, 2011 with Pastor Clement Chong
It has been a privilege for BMBC to have Pastor Clement Chong to Share God's Words with us last March 20, 2011. Pastor Clement as described by BMBC Pastor Ooi as the Pastors' Pastor as he has known him especially while at Baptist Theological Seminary, Batu Ferringhi, Penang, Malaysia. The last time he visited us was about five years ago. The theme for the sermon was the Presence of God. To know and to feel the Spirit of God in your life. A special visitor who is a teacher and a member from Saratok Baptist Church, which BMBC have been supporting its outreach works there for many years, was at the Church to share with us on the latest development in Saratok, Sarawak. We shall look forward to Pastor Clement Chong and his team for the family seminar scheduled later this year.

Sunday Worship Service on May 8, 2011 at BMBC
Here is the Sunday worship service back at the Church sanctuary with Pastor Ooi Kheng Boon. He reminded us of the mission we have set to accomplish after we have refreshed ourselves at the Church's Family Camp at the Stella Maris, Penang.
BMBC Sunday Worship Service on May 1, 2011 at Stella Maris, Penang
This is our special Sunday Worship Service held away from our BMBC Sanctuary as the families of BMBC were having the Family Camp at Stella Maris, Tanjong Tokong, Penang. The video have been posted on you tube earlier and this is just a link back to the blog.
BMBC Family Camp 2011 at Stella Maris, Penang
It is a special BMBC Family Camp 2011 as the families from the church gathered at Stella Maris, Tanjong Tokong, Penang ffrom April 30, 2011 to May 02, 2011. The Guest speaker was Pastor Elisha. All who attended the sessions, themed Love Your Neighbor As Yourself, were blessed and challenged to move on and share the gospel which is the good news according to the Holy Bible. We are indeed very privileged to have Pastor Elisha and his team to share their experiences and walks with God from their ministry to the poor, the less fortunate and the aliens in our community. Thank you Pastor Elisha and Team.
We also have the Sunday Worship Service away from our usual BMBC Sanctuary. It was held at the hall at Stella Maris, Tanjong Tokong, Penang. It was located at such a beautiful location that we can have the view of the Straits of Malacca from the hall itself. We can open the sliding glass doors ad the other end and walk to the benches and have our tea breaks and meals.
It was also very special for us as the campers were able to enjoy the beautiful beach and sea off Tanjong Tokong, Penang beside the warmth of the families as there were ice breakers and games for the children, youths and the adults throughout the three days and two nights camp. There were minor discomforts for some who were not used to sleeping next to beach with the sounds of the sea waves, the hard pillows and the short blankets. We look forward to next BMBC Camp soon and back to Nature.
Thank you to all the Organising Committee Members and all the participants for making it a wonderful outing for the campers and guests. Also, our special appreciation for our Sis Sock Hooi who had facilitated the check-in and check-out and making other arrangements as pleasant for everyone. Anyway, we are safely back to Bukit Mertajam now. It is simply the time to roll on with new challenges of sharing compassion with the community we are in and be prepared for the inconveniences.
Here are the recorded sessions to share with you.
