12 July 2008 English/Chinese Service Speaker: Ps. James Lim Message: 勇敢面对你的人生(adapted from book of Jonah)
-When God calls us to do something, do we follow His command, or do we run away? 违命/听命?
1) 面对感动 (1:3, 3:3) -the move from God (we need to have humility, obedience, submission) 起来/逃避? - God wants us to rise up for His glory from critical situations.
2) 面对风浪 (:6) -God will test us by giving us problems and placing us in diffficult situations, so as to test our faith and hope in Him.
3) 面对面子 (1:10-11, 4:9) -God wants us to have humility, taking away all our pride. esp. when we are in the wrong, we should have the courage to apologise; "say sorry" and ask for forgiveness.
4) 面对环境 (2:2, 4, 7, 9) "...生死关头要抓紧上帝不放..."
5) 面对怒气 (4:1, 4) -similar to that of '面对面子'
6) 面对管教 (4:6-8, 10-11) -be humble and willing to learn

shine Your light
For this is what the high
and lofty One says –
“I live in a high and
holy place,but also
with him who is contrite
and lowly in spirit,
to revive the spirit
of the lowly and to
revive the heart of the
contrite.”
-Isaiah 57:15
Be Humble and Obedient
Your truth
"Don't let anyone look
down on you because
you are young, but set
an example in speech,
in life, in love, in faith
and in purity"
-1 Timothy 4:12
