more spiritual nuggets

yesterday's message was video-taped... the pastor of the church was at the opening service of their new worship site @ misato...

initially... i was skeptical... not live... but video-taped... how much would i listen and learn..?

the message was on the parable of the talents...

i mean... how many times have we read that..? and how many times have we heard of a message from that parable..? how else can you preach that passage..?

anyways... i was amazed... think yesterday's message was clearest and meaningful for me... picked up a few nuggets along the way...

it was interesting that the pastor shared the message differently... it was not your usual message of using your talents well... about not burying your talents... but use it for the Lord and He will multiply what we have...

instead his message was all about 'risks'... about how the 3rd man never knew who Christ really was cos he never took the risk to do so... he was captured by fear...

another nugget was when he shared... 'your faith determines your vision'... at first i was puzzled... but as he taught... i began to see... he said that many ppl plan... have a vision first... then pray for faith to carry out the vision...

he is saying that faith should come first... when we have the willingness to risk by faith opportunities for the gospel... then we see the Kingdom purpose... the vision...

after the sermon... i am really wondering... what can i do at this church that we are attending... dun wanna 'waste' this year jus warming one of the seats there...
