SUNDAY SERVICE REFLECTION [MARCH, 9]

Hey guys, whats up! so today is officially the first day we get to use this forum all together! Its not so great, but as long we get to do devos, its all good.
Anyways, heres my reflection for todays sermon!

So basically, pastor moses talked about the ten commendments. And the reason why God sent out these ten commendments is because God wanted to express out his love. Honestly, i would have never thought of it that way. I thought God sent out the ten commendments because of our sins. Thats one thing i learned on todays sermon.

One thing i realized in todays sermon was that, moses talked about 3 commandment. Im not sure how he said it but in the bible it said, "You shall not bow down to them and worship them" (exodus 20:5). Correct me if im wrong. Anyways, i learned that, even if we choose to put God first in are life, we are wrong, because it doesnt matter if we put Got first or not. The only thing that matters is that, God is the one and only God in are life, so there is no first or second, etc. There is only one God, period. Sry, i think im jumping around.

I have alot more, but those two stood out to me the most.

anyways, i think thats it, keep up with devos and stuff guys.

-adios-

Hey guys!

I believe Pastor Moses' sermon focused mostly on how the 10 Commandments is essentially our Christian "Charter of Rights and Freedoms". It's an important document - to follow a set of rules in order to become closer to God.

The easiest way to remembering them is:

1) One God
2) No idols
3) Honor God's name
4) Keep the Sabbath Holy
5) Honor your mom and dad
6) M-urder
7) A-dultery
8 ) S-teal
9) T-estimony (bearing false testimony)
10) Do not covet.

I find that although they're rules, they're not laws. If you do happen to study law, rules are mandatory if you wish to take part in something, like a game. But, they can be broken easily. As you guys know, breaking laws results in a harsh punishment. Breaking rules... not so much. I was struggling to call them "laws", as I recognize that God gives us choice in life. He does not FORCE us to follow these rules, but encourages us. But like Pastor Moses said, if we happen to follow all of the rules this week, it could be life-changing!

In terms of what Pastor Moses spoke of today,

1) ONE GOD.

- God is the basis of ALL the commandments. No God, no commandments. It's said in order to REMIND us that he is the fundamental - there's simply no purpose to it, as it's all devoted to God!

- Genesis 15:12-21
- Although God never forgot about the Israelites, the Israelites forgot about God after 400 years! This was the only way to re-establishing the covenant - the promise - with God again!

2) NO IDOLS.

- Recall that in Israel at the time, many Israelites worshipped gods of various things - of the light, rain, you name it. Even in daily life, we have idols. Whether it might be a person, or something, it's as we're worshipping CREATION, not the CREATOR. While you might think that person or some sort of game might seem fun, it will be fun - for a certain time. At the end of the day, you have to look at God - the creator - the maker of heaven and earth. I personally feel that God does not want to be worshipped alongside another God. He says either worship him or worship something else! If we really want to worship him, we should be prepared to give up something that we idolize - that we worship, ESPECIALLY MONEY!

And that's sorta my recap/reflection today.

Keep it up guys,

Julian.

howdie.
it's gonna be short. i'm really sick.

I learned that God is our insurance. Like what Moses said about the bungee cord: God is our bungee cord. Even though it feels like we're taking that plunge and it's scary sometimes, we should know that God is always with us and is keeping us safe.

O.O
sorry i couldnt do this on Sunday. Its cause i accidentally deleted the website. D:

The message i think pastor Moses was trying to give our ministry was that the 10 commandments weren't made for the following of the rules but it was made by God to show and express his love toward us. Just like Moses gave examples that our parents make rules not because they dislike us, its because they love us and want to keep us safe.
Also pastor Moses a great way in memorizing the TEN COMMANDMENTS
now i remmeber them and understand them aswell:)
HAVE A GREAT WEEK
