SIB Alive - 5.11.2011

This year the SIB Alive team decided that we should post our activities online as a chronicle of our spiritual journey, as well as let our students see their handsome/pretty faces... so here is a write-up of what we did two days ago.

As usual, good food in abundance.

All nicely home-made, sprinkled with plenty of love.

For the students, a much welcomed relief from the usual mixed-rice stall stuffs.

We had Joe and Poh Keong, our in-house-trained guitarists leading the praise and worship session.

The teacher Betty and her quartet.

Xiang Yee gave an introduction on the topic that we would be discussing that night... 'God's Word in Your Life' taken from Book 3 of The Navigator's Studies in Christian Living.

Supplemented with a very nicely done & colourful chart. Wow we're discovering some artistic talent here.

Discussing in small groups.
Learning points for the night...
  • God's word is described as a fire (refiner's fire that removes impurities), a hammer (breaks our rock-hard hearts), a sword (to ward off enemies' attacks, and to go offensive)
  • God's word pierces the deepest areas of our hearts; it doesn't just scratch the surface
  • God's word is alive and active, it is not limited by time and geographical boundaries; it still transforms lives today!
  • God's word is truth that sets us free from the untruths of this world
  • God's word guides us into the salvation offered in Jesus Christ

welldone and an excellent way of keeping in-touch with picture and write-up and a good summary of area of study covered..good content...the helpers could note the main points raised during the small group discussion.

encouraged to see the new worship leaders and back-up singers...the well-presented and upgraded food and fruits...alive and transformed!

love and God blessed
