Beholding Jesus Christ


Thought of recording my script for Sunday Worship now that I have started to type them down instead of the ancient way of writing down in my note book. I find that it's faster and it's convenient, easier to make amendment with CTL C & V rather than using asterisks and hexes, with arrows flying all over my note!

SO, here it is! This is my notes on worship leading conducted on 18 July 2010. The theme was "Beholding Jesus Christ~" (I thought it would be nice to insert video clips of the songs I led, only if I can find them... yup!)

Greetings:
(1 peter 1 : 1-2) To God's elect, strangers in the world, scattered throughout (Hougang, Sengkang, Punggol, Pasir Ris, Ang Mo Kio, Thomson, Yishun, Serangoon, Sambawang), who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.

Without A Vision the People Perish

Proverbs 29: 18a “Where there is no vision, the people perish”

When you do not have a vision, you perish, lost souls perish and churches perish.
As we gear ourselves up to pray, let’s have a vision for this church, for this nation. Let’s share a dream for this place and for this land.

Chorus 82 – We Have a Vision (Prayer)

Last week I’ve finished reading the book of Jeremiah, altogether 52 chapters. I’ve forgotten how long, or rather, how many years I’ve taken to read from Genesis up to Jeremiah. Maybe 7 years because I started before Tiffany was born. Really, no bluff, but then of course, it’s not speed reading, I read also the Chinese version after the English one, chapter by chapter.

I remember once I sat behind Jaren Teo before the service starts, and he was reading the Bible. So I asked him, "How many times you have read through the Bible?" I think he said, “A few times.”

The Bible is all about JESUS. Jesus is pictured or prophesied about in each of the 66 books, as well as in countless types or in the lives of different characters in the Bible.

My theme today is “Beholding Jesus Christ.”

As I present to you the Jesus in all the 66 books of the Bible, I invite you to behold him, and then to love and worship him with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. Amen.

No other name but the name of Jesus

No other name but the name of Jesus
He is worthy of Honour & worthy of Glory
And worthy of Power and of Praise

His Name is exalted high above the earth
His Name is high above the Heavens
His Name is exalted high above the earth
Give Glory & Honour & Praise unto His Name



The Book of Psalm is found in the very center of the Bible. Beholding Jesus in Psalms, I see that He is my Shepherd, and I shall not want.

Brothers and sisters, are you in want? Are you in some form of needs? Healing? Provision? Wisdom? Love? Or just a touch from God?

Whatever your need maybe, come to Jesus, He is your Shepherd. Come to Jesus now and He will make you lie down in green, green pastures.

Come to Jesus; come to the Shepherd of your soul. Then, restoration, guidance, boldness, comfort, victory, anointing, provision, goodness and love are yours to keep for all the days of your life. Hallelujah!

Chorus 238 – You Make Me Lie Down in Green Pastures.


You fill my hunger with honey from your sweet, sweet word-The Holy Bible! O how sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth. When Your words came, I ate them, they are my joy and my heart’s delight.

Brothers and sisters, we who bear the name of the Lord God Almighty, let’s eat and let’s feast on His word like never before. Praise God for His word and for all of you who’re God’s elect! Hallelujah!

You maybe seated and I shall open this time for testimony and God’s word.

Monolingual 17 – Let Praise Arise (Offering)
Let praise arise
In the midst of thee, O Zion
Let the praises of God be in thy mouth
Let praise arise
In the midst of thee, O Zion
Wave His banner forevermore

For He has chosen us to be His people
A royal priesthood who worship Him
Singing praises to the King of ages
Eternal Lord is He
Eternal Lord is He

Let....
Wave His banner forevermore (3x)


And.... it’s a Banner of LOVE~

Chorus 135 – How Excellent is Your Name (Message Proper)


Praise the excellent name of our Lord~
