2ND OFFERING COLLECTION FOR MISSIONS & EVANGELISM SUNDAY A 2nd offering will be collected today for the above. Please indicate “CAC Missions” during the offering. SPEAKER FOR TODAY Pastor Simon Neo of Singapore Breakthrough Missions did not complete his primary school education. He joined the gangs at 14 and set up his own at 15. When he got tired of gangland violence he switched to hip rock music and hippy lifestyle and soon made a name for himself. At 16, he became hooked on drugs.
1976 :
He repented and was saved by the grace of the Lord.
1977 : This was the turning point in his life. By the grace of Lord Jesus he overcame drug addiction as well as his many years of smoking and all vices and bad habits. He began to spread with great fervor and zeal the message of the grace of Jesus Christ’s salvation to drug addicts mired in pain, destitution and despair. 1981-85 : He received his theological training and graduated from Chin Lien Bible Seminary.

THE BIBLE
is a book that is not merely for reading. It is a book for
studying so that it can be applied. Otherwise, it is like tasting food without swallowing and then spitting it back out again — no nutritional value is gained. The Bible is God’s Word for Spiritual Growth…… We should read and study the Bible because: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
God’s Word to us. Totally reliable and without error Is always relevant Helps to discern truth from falsehood Equips us to serve Tells us when to resist or flee from sin
Are you Studying The Bible?

The love of Christ controls us – Whatever Paul did, he did because he loved Christ. This was the underlying motivation for his life. i. Can you say the same thing about yourself? ii. Does the love of Christ control you? iii. What motivates you? iv. What guides your major decisions? v. Do you know of any “Zacchaeus” in church today ? Paul wrote the letter addressed to the brethren in Philippi, while he was in prison in Rome. But yet in such times of uncertainty, instead of feeling lost, lonely and anxious, his heart was full of joy and thanksgiving. The letter carried words of gladness, anticipation and encouragement. i. If you were in Paul’s position being wrongfully imprisoned, what kind of things would you write ? ii. How did God use Paul’s imprisonment to work together for good? iii. How can we use our own troubles to encourage other believers? “Yet when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, for I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel.” i. Is sharing the gospel an obligation or opportunity ? ii. Why do you think Paul uttered “woe to me if I do not preach the gospel” ? iii. What is your “woe” today ? iv. Are you regularly sharing the gospel? When was the last time you shared with someone?
