			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Credible for Jesus to walk on water for <em>“through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made” </em><em>(John 1:3 NIV). </em></p>
<p>Incredible that the Greatest, the Supreme, the Unparalleled, the Incomparable, Unsurpassed &#8230; the Perfect Everything should so love us, His own, to be so close and so very present.</p>
<p>HIS heart is incredibly connected to His followers. HIS eyes beholds them. HE sees us in our situations but not with unmoved detachment. HE comes. He assures. He helps. He brings us to HIS desired end.</p>
<p>Jesus is still the LORD who walks on water. HE still makes a way when there seems no way.</p>
<p>More incredible, our Lord does not always make things easy for us but He works His special work in us to make us His miracle in the world.</p>
<p>Be encouraged! Be inspired! Bless the Lord!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Due to technical error, recording for this week&#8217;s sermon is not available.)</p>
<p>And now, just as you<br />
accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord,<br />
you must continue to follow him.<br />
Let your roots grow down into him,<br />
and let your lives be built on him.<br />
Then your faith will grow strong<br />
in the truth you were taught,<br />
and you will overflow<br />
with thankfulness<br />
(Col 2:6-7 NLT)</p>
<p>This must be our driven imperative, our sure stability, our indefatigable praise, our expansive influence. Remember Jesus Christ the Supreme One is also the All-Sufficient — and our Lord!  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Apostle Paul talks about his commission by God — his life calling to bless the church with the word and with his whole life. He worked real hard, even suffering, to help the brethren mature in the Lord, to clear all misunderstandings of the faith with the truth of God and so protect them from the prevailing false arguments.<br />
We may not be in the same league as the Apostle but we can be with the same heart for God’s Church. Yes Lighthouse, we can, we must, we need to participate fully, to add value, to help with strengthening one another out of reverence for Christ.<br />
Unequivocally, Paul reveals and proclaims what was hitherto hidden, the glorious riches of God — Jesus Christ in the believer, the hope of glory, in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge!<br />
Knowing Jesus is too wonderful for words. Not only the security of our eternal destiny with the Lord but HE, the Supreme One, the Perfect Everything is in our lives. Truly incredible!<br />
How can we not love and build up His church?<br />
How can we not pass on this Good News?  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The eyes of compassion has a certain way of seeing. It’s far sighted, deep sighted. Jesus looks at the  multitude following Him in John 6 and sees not trouble but an urgent need to be met.<br />
The heart of love has a particular feel. It’s fervently identifying, outreaching. Jesus sees the huge demand for food not as something hopeless or useless (or a topic for discussion) but as the ingredient for God’s amazing possibilities.<br />
The hand of mercy has a special touch. It’s lovingly, tenderly outstretched. Jesus receives what is offered to Him, gives thanks, blesses and gives out. The gracious act of mercy has a very long reach.<br />
The feet of kindness has a certain gait. It takes good steps. Jesus walks to people not away. He comes near to help, gives hope, inspires faith, restores living.<br />
Jesus is the real, true living Bread of life — ever compassionately giving Himself out to all peoples. HE is the true sustaining Life, the strength of meaningful Life, the more-than-enough Life!</p>
