Advent - Worship & Thanksgiving. BMBC Sunday Worship Service December 4, 2011

Congratulations to our sisters who have graduated from the Battlefields of the Mind.  We also have our brothers who have attended the Authentic Men Conferences.   Now we are into the second week of Advent.  The sermon is still focused on the theme of Advent - Worship and Thanksgiving and it is delivered by Pastor Ooi Kheng Boon.

You can listen to the sermon here with him giving us a lucky number 595238. It is actually 1 divided by 168 x 100% which is the percentage of one hour we spend weekly sitting at the pew and listening to the sermon on God's Words. The coming of Jesus, what does it mean to us? What is the difference between our life before knowing Christ and after knowing Christ? Is there a significant change?  Let us look into the familiar passage in the book of Galatians Chapter 5 in the Holy Bible which mentioned about Freedom and Liberty. He also explained about Fruit of the Spirit and the nine characteristics.

BMBC English Congregartion Sunday Worship Service on 27 November, 2011

Greetings to all of you.  This posting is the recorded BMBC English Congregation Sunday Worship Service held on November 27, 2011. The theme is on Advent - Worship and Thanksgiving. Sermon was delivered by our Bro. Morgan.  What does Christmas mean to you?  Christmas = Christ + Mass? Or X'mas = No Christ but one Mass?  We have faith in God and God abide in us but often we have trusted God and also have our backup plan to be self-sufficient.  God is our provider.  It is this time of the year that children will ask us, parents, for gifts and wife will also expect it from the husband. Husbands, from who, and what will you ask for this Christmas?  We need to look to God.  The way we live our life is a testimony of our fate in God.  Why God send salvation in this manner where the story of Mary and Joseph obeying God and the birth of Jesus and His unconditional love for us. The Word became flesh.  Jesus is Love and is vulnerable for us and we are also vulnerable as we follow Him and live and lead our life in this world.  We are the temple of God and He is ever presence in our midst. Let us open our door to Jesus Christ and invite the living God to dwell in us . 

We wish all the best to the students who are taking their examinations this time of the year.
