Psalms 34:6-8
This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.
Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
Fear the LORD, you his saints,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
John 6:48-58
I am the bread of life. Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever."
Today's Pastor is Pastor Judah Smith from Seattle. He's a very funny Pastor and his sermon was lively and funny. i think he's the one that Pastor Prince once mentioned asking for tetaraid and Pastor Prince got very confused. later he figured it out. tetaraid = Teh Tarik.
When you see a steak being served to you, how does it look to you? does it look good? If you think about it in another sense, its a chunk of flesh on your plate, though with garnishing and veggies on the side. Its someone's daddy or mummy or baby, you know? but it still look good to you rite? why is that so? does it look good to you because you have tasted it and know it taste good. You need to taste before you know if something is good or not.
Pastor Judah told us about his story with the cheese factory. Before going to the cheese factory, he's only interested in American cheese. you know whats american cheese? it comes in those plastic wrap thingy, and you can put it there for days and it will still be soft and tender. Yes its chemical. its called kraft, short for witchcraft. hahaha
At the end of the 2-hour tour, which they found boring and tedious, they were given the chance to sample the cheese. The factory manager had to keep pushing the cheese to them like a drug dealer, and when Pastor Judah finally tried, all hell or heaven broke loose. he tried all the cheese available, he found the 2 hour tour had been most informative, he wonder where had he been all time without cheese.
Taste and see.
Amen.

Matthew 7:9-11
"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
Romans 12:20
Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.
Today's Sermon is on the theme of God's Love. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
If that is the case, what is there that we want that God will no give to us? But why are there so many ppl who are not healed?
Matthew 21:21
Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done.
It is our doubt that prevents us from recieving the healing that we desire.
Lets say a rich man has a very loyal obedient dog which will do anything for him, and a rebellious daugther who does nothing but create probs. when the rich man is going to die, who will inherit his estate? the dog? no~ the daughter. why? cos no matter how bad or rebellious she is, she is the heir to his estate.
Just as we are heirs to God's estate. There is nothing that we want that God wont give. just as Pastor Daniel Chong had said just before communion, our heavenly daddy had BANKRUPTED heaven many times just to give us what we want.
Why do we still doubt that God will not give us what we wan? because, sometimes, we turn to believe in the Law rather than Grace. when you believe in Law, you will have doubt in your heart. hence, it hinders you from recieve what is your inheritance.
Lets say you have a craving for chocolate, but you're on a diet. what do you do? believe in grace. believe that God will never deny what you wish to have. so buy a package of chocolate and have a taste to sate your craving and you're done with your craving after a little taste. throw away the rest. BUT Law comes in. since young, the law of not wasting food had been drilled into us, so in the end, we finished the entire packet. no waste = no waist. your waist will be gone too.
Healing is a gift. its ours to recieve. the reason why its a gift is that we dont have to pay for it. ;p
Amen.
