Sunday Sermon Recap

FGA Main Service Sermon Recap // ARISE
Pastor Daniel Tan - Transforming and Reaching Out To The Community

How can the church make a difference and disciple the community?

We do church not because of the good things we have in the church but it's because we love God and love people. 

We sometimes forget we serve so much that we forget to love people. The church is God's agenda for the world. The church is Christ's love in action. The church is the hope of the world.

It says in Matthew 5 that we need to let His light shine.We cannot have sight if we have no light. How do we arise and shine? 

Acts 3 - Peter Heals The Lame Beggar

We Have To Be Genuine.

We are not doing good works to convert people.We have to start with love. 

The gospel is the gospel of reconciliation not the gospel of conversion. If the church is the hope of the world we have to contribute to nation building and community work.

Give What You Have and Not What You Don't Have.

We can only give what we have. What do you have? The love of Christ? YOU CAN GIVE THAT! It's not the size of the task it's the size of your heart. It starts with your heart.

Stretch Out Your Hands To Lift Others Up.

Peter stretched out his hand and gave the beggar a hand up. Lives are transformed from by touching the soul. We need start giving a hand up instead of a hand out. We are not here to change the world but we can change the world of one person. Everyone of us can change the world of one person. 

If God were to lay his head on our hearts would God hear the heartbeat of His only son, Jesus
