Bible Conference
Oct 01, 2016
I Find! The 2016 Bible Conference kicked off with a wonderful Praise and Worship. Everyone anticipated in the coming two days that we will be transformed through the Word of God. 2 Corinthians 3:18 NKJV But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
As Pastor Gavin shared that this year our focus is on Pergamos Church in The book of Revelation 2:12-17. Paul wrote the letter to encourage them to turn away from the doctrine of Balaam and the doctrine of the Nicolaitans. Encouraging them to overcome with the Word of God. And God will provide the hidden manna for them to eat and give them a white stone. God wants them to grow closer to Him and away from the snares and trap of the world.
The teaching was divided into 4 lessons
1. Against the doctrines of Balaam and Nicolaitans- Finding the heart for God
2. Sword of His mouth-Find cleansing and renewal of the mind
3. The Hidden Manna-Find the Glory of the resurrected Lord
4. The white stone with a new name-Find God His glory crowned on you
Pastor Gavin shared on how we can use the Word of God to draw close to them. Use the word of God to teach. We must know that every sin has a consequences and God’s intention is for us to walk out of it through Him. When we teach, we teach to see God.
Our life should be constantly grace and love conscious but not sin conscious. And of us should enjoy the cleansing because of love, knowing that it is a blessing. God provided manna for Israelites and had made sure that it is sweet and tasty. Jesus himself was the Manna that was given to us. Be renewed and strengthen and see the manna before you everyday.
In our lives, we should be constantly seeking for the presence and the Glory of God upon our lives. Witnessing the manifestation of His glory, love and grace. The congregation was listening intently to the Words shared. God’s love was so evident and true. Trust in the Lord and we will find and see things that we had yet known.
Praise God! Let’s meet again next year having transformed daily through His Words.
