IT WAS SUPERB!!!!!!

I'm so glad I didn't miss it again like how I did last year. Even though it's only been our second time joining together for a church service, it was amazing how it sent smoothly. It must be our love for God that allowed such a successful day to happen.

If you don't know, I attend Howick Baptist Church(HBC), which has it's service at 9.30am. The church building is then rented out to the afternoon Chinese church Evangelical Formosan Church(EFC) that has it's services at two in the afternoon. So these awesome brothers and sisters in Christ pretty much woke up extra early for this planned service. ^^

Good News - Isaiah 52:7-10 (Peter Somervell, Paul Young) from Howick Baptist Church on Vimeo.

Here's the video of the sermon. You can also get the MP3 and sermon slide here: http://www.howickbaptist.org.nz/sermonmodule/view_video/sermon_id/314/src/@random487849c9b21ee/

I just loved how even though there was some language barrier... well maybe quite a lot for the more older folks, we still joined together in prayer, in communion and also the shared lunch that was so crowded.

It just made me long to really rejoice and see how great and awesome it would be in Heaven one day to see all nations come together as it says in Revelation 7:9-10 "...I looked, and behold, a gread multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"" (omg. just remembered the song that goes "salvation belongs to our God... who sits upon the throne... while typing tht. hehe. Didn't know that it came from this verse) What a site that would be, to have EVERYONE there. Can't wait. And all the cries of joy in all the different languages! \o/

Take us all back soon God! ^^
