Super Saturday - Foundation Truths 1

Yes; we have started on our DBS for this yr! :) The journey has begun for us to "so-called" re-build our foundation and build up on truths of our faith.

Yesterday, we combined with C1 and TS in the upper level. We did Lesson 1: God's Building Plans. (Thanks to Chia Wen and Siu Fai who spoke to us!)
God's Word compares our lives as believers to the construction of a building.
"For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building." [1 COR 3:9]




WHOA! This is the tallest building in the world - Burj Dubai! Ever wondered what is the MOST IMPORTANT feature of it (a solid building)? :)
Of course, it's the FOUNDATION! That's logical, ain't it?

Likewise, we, as Christians, also have an appointed foundation for our Christian life! :) The true foundation of our Christian life is JESUS CHRIST!
This is what David says in PSALM 62:2;
"He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken."

Let's claim this promise! :)

Moving on, how is this rock (FOUNDATION) laid in a person's life?

These are the 4 successive stages by which Peter had the rock laid in His life:
[MATT 16]

1) Confrontation: Encounter with Jesus
2) Revelation: Revelation from heaven
3) Acknowledgement: Acknowledging the truth revealed to you
4) Confession: Open and public one.

Let's start to apply it; as these aren't just for head knowledge.

So how to build our lives upon the Rock?
Sounds easy, but we gotta act on it! HEARING (studying) & DOING (applying) the Word!
The Bible and Jesus are inter-related: One is the written Word of God. The other is the personal, or living Word of God.
If you love one, you will love the other.

4 important truths:
1) As a disciple keeps and obeys God's Word, Jesus manifest Himself to him.
2) Keeping God's Word - is what separates a disciple of Jesus from the world.
3) It is the most important test of a disciple's faith.
4) Thru God's Word, the Father and Son come into the life of a disciple & establish their enduring home with him.

RESPOND!! to God's Word.

Throw away filthiness & wickedness! Instead; adopt an attitude of meekness (the fear of the LORD)
HEB 4:12 testifies the truth of God's Word.
"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

Hope you were blessed by the teaching! :)

An important thing to take note:



Have a nice day!
