2010.07.24 TGIS Blog (Posted by Ninja) 

1. Opening: Wayne- Ice-break activity

Thanks, Wayne, for planning an interesting ice-break activity! We all enjoyed it, because it was a lot of fun! 
Today's game is called..I don't know, but we had to guess a word that is the opposite of a word given. For example, "What is the opposite of 'cold'?" Yes. Of course, the opposite of 'cold' is 'hot"! How about the opposite of 'sunny'? That's right. The answer is 'rainy' or 'cloudy'. Good job. You may think it's easy, but some questions were quite tough.
 
For instance, what would you say the opposite word of "dollars" be? ...Um... The opposite of 'dollar'? Any currency! (Sora and Kumi were wondering.) The answer was "yen". Why? We still don't know exactly, but some of us seem to see the connection. How about this: what is the opposite of 'Japan'? I personally liked Maru's answer, that is, 'Brazil'. The answer was 'United States of America'. How come! Why is Japan the opposite of US! (Sora and Kumi were wondering again. Please help them.) Wayne, thanks a lot for leading today's ice-break activity.

Denny came to TGIS as a guest speaker today and shared her testimony. Thanks, Denny, for sharing how you got to know Jesus, and how your life has been changed since then. What you shared today show His Love, faith, His Dream and Hope in your life. And we are so grateful to hear your walk with God.
 
Just to share a bit of Denny's testimony with readers of our blog: At the age of six, Denny and her family moved to US and unfortunately, Denny had to experience some racial discrimination, which made her life very difficult. Her depression made it to the level that she thought of killing herself. However, God's Hands were there and Denny found a way out. God sent Denny a help that day to give her the Bible and to share his amazing experience with God. Glory to God. Denny, you were a blessing of us today. You said today's was just a part of what you could tell us. We are so grateful to have you at TGIS. Please come again! We are looking forward to hearing Part 2 and Part 3 of God's miracles in your life, and let's grow in Him together.

Maru led the worship service today and we sang:Mighty to Save, Oceans Will Part, and More to See.
Praise the Lord! 


4. Message: Wayne

This month's theme is "Going from a Corinthian to an Encore Church" and today's message was about
 "Covering, communion, gifts, order, and resurrection." Main Scripture was 2 Cor 13:11.

We learned a lot today. Thanks, Wayne! As for covering, we need God's covering and his chain of commands. As is written in 1 Cor 11:3. As for communion, we need to recognize the body of Jesus in communion (1 Cor 11:29). About spiritual gifts, Paul does not want us to be ignorant. There are different gifts, for different things, but same Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12:1). As for order, if there is chaos in the church then people will think we are crazy. God is a God of order (1 Cor 14:23). As for resurrection, if Christ had not risen from the dead, our faith is futile and we are in our sins (1 Cor 15:17).  In conclusion, many things to think about! Have faith and begin to do what God says in His Word. 

2 Cor 13:11
Finally, brothers, good-by. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
Amen!


5. Prayer and Worship: Maru

Before the final worship time, Maru prayed for our sister,Y-chan who was going to lead the Icebreak activity today, but could not come because she was ill. Maru! That was very nice! 

Worship:How Great Is Our God


7. Fellowship time:

Many people came to TGIS today! Hallelujah!
