.. A different type of Service ..

This week was Rev. Dr. Phil Pringle's week!

As usual my heart was full of expectancy as he is really a great man of God. His preaching & messages never fail to impact & inspire my life. Indeed he is really going from glory to glory. Every time he comes, he just leaves something behind.. A deep desire to want to know God more, & do more for Him.

But! This time, it was really a very different kind of service. Like what Dr Phil said, this was the 1st time he did it in a church! (Apart from Christian City Church obviously!).. So, CHC is really privileged! Thank God for that! :)

He painted as he preached!

He is indeed a great & anointed painter.

He shared 2 messages. He painted 2 pictures.

Sat Service: The 12 Disciples

12 disciples. 12 different types of personalities that speak of the different types of us. Yet, Jesus invited and accepted all of us. Something that he said and I learnt. There were some disciples whom were not even mentioned much in the bible! Like, Thaddaeus, Bartholomew.. etc. The disciple whom was known as the "doubting" Thomas. These disciples did not stand out the way Peter, James & John stood out. But, they were still among the disciples that Jesus had invited to dine & fellowship with Him. Together, the disciples brought forth the gospel, and today we can be saved because of the works that they had done.

Short message. More time was spent painting. As you can see, it is a BIG picture. :)

Sun Service: The works of the CROSS

Rev Phil preached on the 7 works of the Cross:

1. Set free from sin
- We are no longer bounded to the past mistakes & sins that we had committed. Jesus has set us FREE and we are FREE indeed!

2. Set free from sickness
- By His stripes, we are healed!

3. Set free from the devil
- We are victorious in life!

4. Set free from poverty
- Poverty is not for the children of God!
- Quote from Pastor Kong: We may start poor today.. but when we follow Jesus, we will prosper someday in this lifetime!

5. Set free from the curse of the law
- Read Deut 28. All the curses are turned into blessings because of the work of the CROSS!

6. Set free from self
- Christ is living in us!

7. Set free from the world!

2 simple messages. 2 great paintings. Hundreds responded to the altar call. I pray, may these souls remain & be rooted in CHC and discover their lives' purposes!

The CROSS is no power at all, until we make a CHOICE to commit to it. It's very true isn't it? Life is indeed about the choices that we will make. Make a choice to believe in the goodness of God & commit your life totally to Christ.

I had made the choice. :)
