The Church & Disciple Making/He saw & believed by Pastor James Leong dated 18.5.14



Background

Before Pastor Leong started his sermon, he shared with us his ministry in teaching the area of “The Chuirch & Disciple Making”
.
Sermon

John 20:1-10 these verses are about the empty tomb.
What did John believed?

Most people believed that Jesus had been resurrected but that was not the case.  He believed that Jesus’ body had been stolen.

What do we believe?
  1. Believed Christianity is a good religion
  2. Believed Christians are good people
  3. Jesus has power to heal and perform miracles – Pastor said if you believed these per se you are not saved.
  4. Believe in Jesus you will have eternal life

What should one believe?
Believe in Jesus alone – no one else can do.
  1. Accept self as a sinner
  2. Acknowledge you cannot save yourself
  3. Believe Jesus died for our sins
  4. Believe He rose on the third day

It is important to know the impact of Jesus dying for our sins.  The trouble is that many do not feel it.  Pastor illustrated with a made-up story of an accident where he died on behalf of a friend and the impact his death had on his friend.  How did his friend feel when he held his dying friend?  What regrets he harboured?

What should one believe?
Have to know Jesus, the One and Only way to God and to have eternal life.
