Sermon on the Mount

Today was quite unusual for me because I oversleep and have this lazy mood, intend to skip church. But then, I speed all the way to SIBKL.

Thank God for not skipping church today as today's sermon entitled ' Sermon on the Mount' was really a great sermon and this gonna last for another 11 weeks.

Sermon on the Mount is basically about Jesus sharing his words with His disciples on the mount. Pastor mentioned Jesus did so because He wants to differentiate those who are serious from the curious. I started to self reflects, am I serious to seek God or am I curious to know how is it like seeking God? [Matthew 5:1]

Another thing pastor mentioned was "many are called but few are chosen". [Matthew 22:14] Then again, I started to think whether I want to be called only or whether I want to be called and chosen? Because as a Christian, we sometimes tend to take for granted. We keep giving excuses for not serving God. As for me, I keep giving myself excuses for not attending cell groups. Pastor warned, "Doesn't mean you are a Christian, you can do what you want." Very true also... we always do what we want, then at the end of the day pray and ask for forgiveness, then next day start doing again. Then, what's the point get baptized so soon? Might as well baptized a day before death...lolx

Pastor's main intention is that everyone who hears the words of God will put into practice. Not just listen and then the next moment is like nothing happen and nothing really matters. [Matthew 7:24-27]

Next, let's put into practice the beatitudes in the book of Matthew. [Matthew 5:2-12]
