38th CF Minutes - Eric's Farewell

Date : 20th May 2010
Time : 12.45pm
Venue : Room 107
____________________________________________________________

Something different this week, we had pot bless (which means, each person contributes some food for everyone) in conjunction with Eric's farewell since it was his last day in college as well as Miss Liza's birthday.

No pictures taken. Only this blurred one.

Then we moved on with our normal CF meetings by beginning with 2 songs led by Emily - Nothing Is Impossible and Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone).

Our bible study resumed as we continued going through chapter 3.

If we belong to Christ, then Christ lives in us by His Spirit. And His Spirit will lead and enable us to kill off the wrong and sinful things that we once used to do. See: Colossians 3:1-17 and Galatians 5:16-25.

Who has the Holy Spirit?
- God's children who trust Jesus as their personal Lord and Saviour.

Will the Spirit of God ever leave us? ( 1 John 2:18-19 )
- If God places His Spirit in us, He'll bring us all the way to the end.

In Christianity, it's not about arriving but progressing - to be more like Jesus.

Focus verse of the chapter :

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope - the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ... (NIV)
- Titus 2:11-13 -

Since next Friday is a public holiday, CF is moved to this coming Wednesday (26th May 2010 ) at 2pm in room 107. Join us for lunch at 12.45pm and prayer meeting if you wanna pray with us or if you have any prayer requests. Just come, without hesitation =)

Songs sang were - Come, Now Is The Time To Worship and Heart of Worship.

"Just For Starters" resumed and we have begun with Chapter 3 - Living God's Way.

Focus verse of the chapter :

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope - the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ... (NIV)
- Titus 2:11-13 -

God not only brings us into relationship with Him but He teaches and sustains us. The default position Christians often face is - if i don't do good, God won't accept me. The truth is, Christ has already died for our sins once and for all. Thus, Christians do good deeds as a result of God's grace and to glorify Him, not to earn salvation.

The hope that drives christians is not the material hope of the present but the eternal hope of the future.

p/s. Join us for CF this Thursday at 2.30pm ( not Friday ) in the art studio ( take the stairs down, next to room 105 ).. All are welcome =)

Venue : Art Gallery

Songs sang were - All Day and To The Ends of The Earth.

We moved on with our bible study and have completed chapter 2. Salvation comes to us from God by His grace, not by works and we can take no credit for it. Faith is not an action but a response to God's grace - our salvation. Have you responded to God by putting your trust in Him?

Focus verse of the chapter :

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no-one can boast. (NIV)
- Ephesians 2:8-9 -

Join us for CF every friday at 1.30pm if you want to know more. We welcome everyone =)

Date : 30th April 2010

Venue : Room 107

Songs sang were - For All You've Done and Lord I Offer My Life To You.

We have begun with Chapter 2 - 'Trusting in God' in our bible study - 'Just For Starters'. A very important chapter to learn what having faith really means. Faith is like an opened vessel receiving water - no action required. It is not our faith that saved us but Christ' death for us. Therefore, do not put your faith in your own faith but in Christ who died for us once and for all.

Focus verse of the chapter :

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no-one can boast. (NIV)
- Ephesians 2:8-9 -

It's never too late for you to join us if you haven't done so. You'll never know until you come and experience it for yourself.

p/s. There will be a prayer meeting before CF every friday. We'll be meeting in Room 107 at 12.15pm, go for a quick lunch and then a short prayer meeting just to pray for CF. If you're interested, don't hesitate to join us.
NO PRAYER, NO POWER
