I just got back from the Watch Night Service at the Dream Centre. This is what I posted on Facebook.
"Just came back from the Watch Night Celebration. It was good. It sent a clear message how everyone can get involved in discipleship, CG and missions. I felt that God reminded me to trust in Him, to count on Him, to live by faith and not by sight. And that's something I want to do in 2012."
It was Søren Kierkegard who said that life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. I have heard this during sermons in DUMC at least twice. Once by Pastor Daniel on Boxing Day, 2010.

SLC V–Servanthood and Humility
Rev. Dr. Tan Siang Yang 07/05/2011
Jesus Christ has first and foremost called us to be servants, not leaders. That’s secondary. We are called to serve and love one another. Some are called to lead.
Suffering produces humility. Jesus, the suffering servant as Isaiah called him humbled himself for us even unto death.

No sermon notes today
Pastor Philip Lyn talked about what people called the Toronto Blessing. I have no notes for you. Go Google it and don't just look for the 'testimonies.' Look for the 'deceptions', 'unmasked', etc. to get a balanced view.
Enough said.

MPF I - Fire from Inside Out I
Pastor Daniel Ho, 04/09/2010
This is the first of a two-part series which is also the first installment of the Making Prayer Foundational (MPF) Series.
One of the first thing we throw out of the window when we are busy is prayer. It is also the one thing that causes fire to burn, to shake a place is a visitation of the Holy Spirit. Prayer invites God to work in our individual life and the church.
Scriptures in this article are taken from the Message.

Challenges Facing the Church in Malaysia
Pastor Dr. Daniel Ho, 13/06/2010
Pastor Daniel has many challenges. One of them is acrophobia (fear of heights.) This is the same with Matthew, his son. When they were in a theme park, they challenged this fear by taking different rides. Now, he is ready to face his fear of height.
We must overcome challenges we face in life. There is no better time to live in Malaysian than right now. Challenging times are the most exciting times. We see the obstacles and overcome them.
There are five challenges we face as a church in Malaysia.

Transformation of Society – The Guatemala Story
Dr. Jorge Lopez, 11/06/2010
What are the characteristics of a great church?
A Guatemalan Baptist pastor died and went to heaven. Peter told him he has to know the Bible if he wanted to go in. Peter asked him how many testaments are there. The pastor answered two and got in. Another pastor came in. He was asked how many gospels are they. He answered 4 and went in. A Catholic priest came and he was asked whether he knew about the feeding of the 5000. He said yes. He was asked to name them.
Sometimes we don’t want to help people.

Developing Young Leaders (Multi-generational Strategy)
Dr. Jorge Lopez, 11/06/2010
We often talk about being called but we seldom talk about being sent.
Joh 20:21 Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you."
This message seems to be very relevant to me.

Evangelism – Malaysian Style (SIBKL)
Pastor Dr. Chew Wing Chee, 12/06/2010
“I used to do delivery now I do deliverance.”
SIB stands for Sidang Injil Borneo, i.e. the Borneo Evangelical Church. It originated from East Malaysia.
There are 88 churches in attendance today. Some are from smaller churches. But it’s not about numbers. We don’t focus on the numbers. Catch the spirit. Growth will come. Rick Warren was told by his father on his dead bed to “go and save one more.”

Evangelism – Malaysian Style (DUMC)
Pastor Dr. Daniel Ho, 12/06/2010
The cell church structure is the best structure for the local church to grow. However, the structure is only to assist us to grow. The people brings life to the church.
We must have faith that whenever we share something will happen.

Developing and Nurturing Leaders
Dr. Jorge Lopez, 11/06/2010 1146
Graham Greene wrote in the Power and the Glory that “There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.”
Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens stress the pervasiveness of individual security in a world where the pillars of modernity are crumbling, creating a new dynamic of transnational cooperation mobilized around shared perceptions of “manufactured” risk.
What do we learn from Jesus’ style of leadership?

The Essential and Non-negotiable Ingredients
Dr. Jorge Lopez, 11/06/2010 0925
Constant prayer is another important thing, individually and corporately. When we pray, we let God know what we need. God of course can read our thoughts and our feelings. There is something powerful when we pray. Miracles take place when we pray. There is power in asking. God will supply all our needs. God hears us. Pray while driving, when we are waiting for a dentist appointment, pray constantly. People ask Dr. Jorge what is the one thing that makes his church growth. He answered the one thing is God. We can be very professional. But the Holy Spirit makes it grow.

The Relational Life of the Church
Cell Group with a Difference
Pastor Chris Kam, 10/06/2010 1145
Three Dynamic Keys to a Successful Cells
Ministry without people is fun – that’s an oxymoron.
What is the biggest challenge in people ministry? Why do people come to your church / cell group?
Why do people do things?
Duress, Compulsion, Coercion (Involuntarily) Duty, Obligation, Expectation, Desire, Fulfillment (Voluntarily.)
In a cell group, do they come because they have desire of find fulfillment or is it because of obligation?

Blessings in Christ
Pastor Cheah Seuk Poh, 30/05/2010 1045
Note on the worship. It’s very normal. That must have been the most mellow My Life Is In You I have ever seen / heard. If not for the backup vocalist hopping in her high heels …
A video clip is shown of a worship session without the PA system. It’s a recruitment drive by the drew crew.
Pastor Cheah emphasized that the church needs many different people in the team, some on stage, some off the stage and some backstage. A team of 9 is going to a fishing village Kuala Kurau for a short mission.
The text is taken from Ephesian 1:14.

Evangelism in the Local Church
Evangelism in the Local Church
Pastor Daniel Ho, DUMC, 31/01/2010
Mat 28:18-20 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. (19) Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (20) teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
We are in the greatest rescue mission on earth. We long to see the realization of the Lord’s Prayer. We are to draw men, women and children to the faith of God.

Rise Ye Up, Ye Soldiers of God
Rise up, God’s soldiers
Ps Dr Ling, 03/01/2010 1045
Pro 29:18 Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.
When a person has a vision his attitude is different. He acts differently and he view things differently. He has hopes. God has hopes in us. When we become children of God, He has expectations.

My pet peeves
I have several pet peeves, including people who smoke in front of me. Today, I am going to talk about something else – people who talk when they should not.
