Please turn your Chrysalis worship book to page 34 and join me in praying the payer to the Holy Spirit.

(Slide 2- Prayer to the Holy Spirit)
“Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth Your Spirit and we shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy Your consolations. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.”

(Slide 3- airplane around the globe)
My Testimony

(Slide 4- butterfly in hands)
Even through those difficult times, God’s grace sustained me, and I was able to overcome the language and culture barriers, and now I know that God helped me through it all so that now I can be used by God to serve God and God’s people.

Even in our Christian walk, we also come across many obstacles, but God’s grace helps us overcome them.

(Slide 5 – picture of family)
Good afternoon! Introduce myself

(Slide 6- title of the talk)
The title of this talk is “GOD SUSTAINS YOU.”

This world is full of sin. Sin in Greek means “to miss the target” or “to miss the mark.” Sin is whatever causes us to miss the goal God has for our lives; it is anything that separates us from the love of God and of our neighbors.

When God first created us and this great world, God designed us to be in a relationship with God, to live a life that fulfills the purpose God has put in us; and to serve, love and glorify God.

As we know, sin came in the way of the relationship between us and God, and we have missed the target of the purpose that God created for us.

We see how society is missing the mark. Though created for love, society has become an arena of hostility and fear. Simply opening the newspaper or watching the evening news convinces us that the human race

    To be effective the human conscience needs to be nurtured, theories that endorse moral relativism will result in the development of more individualistic persons, and not the community Christianity strives for. In Veritatis Splendor, St. John Paul II implores Catholics to consider the full veracity of their actions, forcing them to consider the intentionality, rationale and circumstances of a performed behaviour (VS 80). The fundamental option removes these aspects of decision making from human agency. The fundamental option excuses morally objectionable behaviours as long as it does not alter the individual’s fundamental option to God. Theorists endorsing the fundamental option have also attempted to revise Christian moral teaching, relegating previously mortal sins (conscious sins), such as adultery to the same status of venial sins. They argue that if a person’s fundamental option towards God does not change, they remain in a state of grace. However, contemporary Christian understanding of sin and morality has determined that any conscious decision to sin against God is to betray him. To use the gift of free will to betray God may not alter our decision to adore him, but regardless of the rationale sinning purposely leaves the soul-scarred. Without a properly formed conscience, these scars will only deepen distancing ourselves from God, finally resulting in our permanent…

    We hurt each other. We step on people to get ahead. We steal. We hate. We mock. We tease. We bully. We fight. We murder. Every day. People who believe in God and don't believe in God--we all do it. We find a lost wallet and entertain the thought of taking the money inside--even if we don't in the end. The seed of sin is planted. Without it, we'd be blind followers. Life would have no purpose. It is the power of choice. Choose God, or…

    The Paradoxity Of Gain

    • 4854 Words
    • 20 Pages

    Sin is a paradox. It may look like fun, sound like fun but it is not fun. In Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” There are so many people that have fallen into sin, not because of how gruesome it looked but because of how attractive it seemed to look. I am a personal example of falling into sin because of it ‘so-called’ attractiveness. In Romans 6:23, it clearly shows us that though sin may be attractive, its payment is death. The road of sin is a road that ends in…

    Back they recoiled afraid at first and called me Sin, and for a sign Portentous held me" (2.757-61). There is yet another parallel as Sin can be considered the temptress of both mankind and Satan. Sin's ability to tempt Eve's judgment by encouraging her to choose evil over good was just as strong as the Holy Spirit's ability to tempt her not to be tempted by Sin and remain good and loyal to God. The two trinities clash as the Holy Trinity has the Holy Spirit which aids Christian believers into overcoming temptation from evil and the Unholy Trinity produces Sin which is countering those believers including Satan into the temptations of evil and…

    The Holy Spirit will aid us as we pursue Christ me and become more like him. Left to ourselves we have a strong influence to sin even though we are saved—this reflects our deepest thoughts and desires. We are free from sin, but we will always feel a desire to follow the flesh. Sometimes we develop sinful habits and we fall into patterns of sin. But the word of God will transform us, God will purify our desires, and with his help, we can defeat our idols. As we grow more to be like Christ we need to guard our minds and hearts to make sure that we are desiring God over all…
