Combine Fellowship with Pastor Sergei @ Spartiv Hotspot
Last Saturday, a combined fellowship meeting was held at the Spartive Hotspot with Pastor Sergei from the World of Life Church as the guest speaker.We started off with an ice breaking session; Tjen Jhung introduced a game to the crowd called The Human Maze. Two people were chosen from the crowd; one of them would become the ‘cat’ and the other the ‘mouse’. The rest of the crowd formed the human maze with their hands lifted up in different directions. The people forming the human maze followed the instructions of Tjen Jhung to move in different directions while the ‘cat’ would try to catch the ‘mouse’.
After that, Geng Yan and his team led us into a time of praise and worship. The presence of God was strong in that room that night as everyone worshiped Him in one spirit. Herman then came up to share a powerful offering message about “Money”. He talked about how money takes on human’s characters, that a stingy person’s money would be called stingy money; a drug trafficker’s money would be called drug money while money earned by donating one’s blood would hence be known as the blood money! We also watched the video on the Youth’11Conference that was held in the Word of Life Church.
Pastor Sergei then shared his message about Faith. He brought our attention to the Heroes of Faith as said in Hebrews 11: Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham and Sarah. What can we give to God? We have much more to give than our money. We can give ourselves, our time. He also mentioned 3 points on how we can fellowship with God: Prayer, Bible Reading, Church Ministry. Prayer is when we speak to God and Bible reading is when God speaks to us. Often times, God’s better is not necessarily better in man's eyes. In obedience, we need to aim for the better. To desire for the better means to be obedient and leave our comfort zone. By faith Sarah herself also conceived despite being barren. If Sarah could believe that God can do the miracle, then we too can believe that God can do the same for us as well. Occasionally, Pastor Sergei would just crack us up with his wittiness and rich gestures that made his sharing a whole lot more interesting. No doubt, his sharing touched many lives that night.
After the message was a time of fellowship and food. On the menu was scrumptious Kung Pao Chicken with rice and free flow of drinks. The night ended eventually and I have to say that it was truly an awesome night to remember as we learnt more about God and His wonders. It was even more enjoyable to be able to meet with brothers and sisters from different hotspots.
