but meaningful.. it was abt the 3rd line of the apostle's creed:
I believe in Jesus Christ, the only Son and Lord (something along those lines)
Breaking it down into what 4 key words mean:
Jesus: the Lord Saves
Christ: promised messiah/rescuer
Son: eternally begotten of the Father
Lord: Master of the Universe
i think it's a good thing to remember...
to remember His grace and what He's done for us....
I felt that yesterday's sermon taught me to depend on the Lord.. and only the Lord... i think i've been depending too much on myself and have collapsed as a result.... i forgot what the Lord has done and can and will do for me... and how can I forget such a gracious God? He who repeatedly forgives the sins i repeatedly commit.
We are all fallible. and how i have fallen.
I really am trying to change. To rid myself of sin and live as righteous a life as possible. Bev said at cell group that a good thing to remember is to say "for you Jesus" before everything you do. Cos that's the way it's supposed to be. Everything we do should be for Him and for His glorification. If we work hard, it's for His purpose. If we give our best at whatever we do, it's for Him. And we disgrace Him by sinning... how can we proudly say "for you Jesus" when we commit a sin? This Jesus that has taken our sins away. This Jesus so pure, from God Himself.
Sigh. How we have fallen.
What struck me the most about the service yesterday was not really the sermon.. but the songs... i think sometimes we just sing the songs without really meaning it. but songs and worship are an integral part of the church service for a reason. and yesterday it really struck me.. and my msg from God came really from the songs rather than the sermon...
and the msg was: Trust in Him, depend on Him.
Oh how I've fallen. I just hope i can right myself up.
