HG Update: 24th April 2009

Yo guys!! Sorry for late update..This week, worship was lead by me!! Sang 4 songs that is Blessed be your name, Hosanna, Treasure, and Amazed...Thanks June for back up singing and playing the piano. Thanks Kent, Chester, Jason and Ivan for playing too!! Really appreciate it..

Ok, now the main topic that pastor shared for this week. Well, pastor talks about commiting adultery. In the bible, Exodus 20:14 states that you shall not commit adultery. Adultery is a sin, a very serious sin which affected the whole world. Hmm, the defination for adultary is having a sexual relationship with other women after you're married while for unmarried couples, its called fornication.

We need to deal with this sins in our life. Why? Because this sin is really addictive for both man and women. So we need to always seek for forgiveness and repent from our sins.

The full explaination for Exodus 20:14 is in the book of Leviticus 18:1-29(the whole chapter) . Pls do read ya..

After the sermon, we end our session with a word of prayer which was prayed by pastor. Then we have a short time talking and cleaning the instrument. After 30 min, we leaved the church..Everything went well this week, thank God!!

Announcement!!

To all HG members, there will be no HG meeting next week that is on the 1st of May because we'll be having an evening church service on that day.

You Will Never Look at KFC The Same way Again!!!

For a food freak like me, I never thought such a video can leave me so emotionally drained and dazed.



I couldn't even bring myself to watch the whole video. It shows what a jerk I am for eating large portions of food like a pig without saying grace. I even grumble whenever there is no chicken or pork dish. I even refuse to eat certain type of fish.

Although the children in the video were smiling because they could get "ta pau-ed" food, I was left near tears. Now, my mind is totally blank and I'm left speechless. At the end, the father who collects the food stops his child from eating and bowed his head in prayer.

How humble these people are. Even with food that should be eaten by rats, vermin and stray dogs, these people still thanked God. I ate good food everyday and refuse to thank God.

I really don't know what to say although I'm digging my brain. I think God is going to teach us something in this video. Let me know what you learn and feel via Chatbox.

Thank You.

HG Update: 3rd April 2009

Oh man...Sorry guys for the late update...I was so busy with my school works...anyway here's the update for this week. We started around 4.10 and the worship session was lead by June!! Thanks for worship leading June. The songs she led was Glory, My redeemer lives, Dalam kasihMu bapa, Here I am to worship. Thank you Ivan, Jason, Kent and Christina for playing the instrument and back up singing..

After worshipping, we prayed for all the alumni of His Generation...We also prayed for Wayne!!! He accepted christ which was led by Abang Teo...Congrats Wayne!!

Soon, pastor show us the way to pray for healing. The steps are :-
- gently place your hands on his/her head
- Declare that God will heal him/her
- Then rebuke the sickness with a firm voice

After that, pastor gave us a bookmark. It was designed by Jacob from GEPC.. Thanks dude!! By the way, to all members of HG, remember to memorise the 10 commandments =)
Then pastor shared about the 6th commandment that is you shall not kill (Exodus 20:13). We might think that killing a person is like taking a knife or a sharp object and start stabbing a person until he/she is dead but there are many other ways of killing a person such as backstabbing, gossiping, cursing, character assasination, blaming others for your mistake, judging people by his/her looks, isolating people who are ugly or fat and
criticsizing people before they got a chance to prove themselves.

We as christians should not do all these things because it can bring down a person. If we did all these sins, we really need to seek for forgiveness from God and repent from it. Soon, we ended our session at 6.30. Thanks pastor for the sermon..really appreciate it!!

Tribute to Abang Jeffery!!!

A tribute to our Abang...

As the days, months and years passed by, old friends leave while new ones came, the new replaces the old. Thats the natural order of things. Now one of our longtime HG members is leaving. Jeffery Wong aka Ah Fei aka Jeff. He has been with us for many years and it's time for our little firebird(because he loves guitar) to leave the nest.

I think I represent all HG members. We are proud to have known you as our friend and brother. SOBZ!!! Jeffery was always cheerful and jokey but of course there are times when he flies off the handle especially during worship practice... All for the good of the team. I guess Jeff is a real team player.

Besides being a pro guitarist and singer, Abang Jeff is also a born leader and many of his virtues help kept HG alive and well till this day. When I first came to know Jeff, I saw him as an insane guitarist and fan of hard rock and metal. Fast forward two years, he victoriously fought off the devil and has became a true servant of God. His habit drastically change except he still plays guitar like a pro and he goes gaga over tic-tacs and McDonalds. Jeff, your life transformation has been an inspiration to us.

But in life on earth, all good things must come to an end. Only in heaven can the things we love last for eternity. We all gonna miss you and we know you will definitely come back sometimes.

OK... I know many people will tell lies to make people feel good and not to hurt our feelings but I tell you this, Jeffery is a born man of God...

Bye Bye Jeff-o

Good luck and may the Lord bless you...

UCSI Easter Evangelistic Session

It was the 21st of March. A group of Christian students from UCSI picked AJPC to be the venue of their "Easter Evangelistic Celebration". They held the event not just to celebrate the Easter day but hopefully to bring salvation into the lives of the non-believers.

I think I represent all of the HG members to say we are proud to have hosted you guys

UCSI had their own musicians but with back-up musicians from the HG Youths. Jeffery, Ivan, Kent and June helped out in the worship session. I kinda have to admit, the UCSI's worship session differed greatly from what we usually do in HG. the way i describe it is a combination of Mustard Seed where you do the signs and dance moves and a little bit of Youth songs.

The UCSI team also performed a skit about Jesus' recension to earth, his arrest and conviction, his torture, crucifixion and finally his Resurrection.

Next Mr Tee who was once an ex-medical lecturer from Kelantan came to give a talk about the accuracies of the physical changes and torture Jesus went through according to modern medical science. To the speaker, I'm terribly sorry i forgot his name. Care to edit the posts?

He gave a substantial amount of accurate and consistent evidence and key events that were proven to be real if examined along with modern medical science. His talk also brought us deeper into what Jesus really went through during the events from his prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane until his death. He also gave evidence to contradict the case of did The Lord really resurrect. In between the talks, scenes from Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ is screened. Not surprisingly, many of us couldn't bear to watch the enitre scene.

The points and evidence include...
- While praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus' sweat was a combination of the usual sweat, urea and salt mixed with blood. This happens when someone is in tremendous pressure. So we got the idea that Jesus was really troubled and tempted not to endure torture and death.

- The flogging of Jesus Christ. The device used was the flagellum which means "whip" in Latin. The device bears many similarities to the thing they use to hit the horse in horse races. However, the flagellum also has ball bearings, shards of bone and spikes. The aim is to create as much bleeding, injury and pain as possible during the flogging process. The result is a slow and agonizingly painful time for the victim. The dermis and subcutaneous tissue is ripped out until at times the ribs, muscle, flesh, spine and other bones are revealed till they are visible to the eye. It is noted that such punishment could very well kill the victim although Jesus survived it do he could finally die.

- The Crucifixion of Christ was also told in parallel with the effects of being nailed to the cross based on medical science. It was obvious that Jesus was severely dehydrated and in agonizing pain due to the flogging earlier on and was the crown of thorns was placed on his scalp. It was also proven by medical science that at the cross that Jesus' arms were probably wrenched and seperated out from their sockets. And with the human body placed in such a position, respiration took a great deal of strength to accomplish and was limited and restricted.

- There has been this long debate between the Jews and the Christian on edvidence that did or did not Jesus ressurected. They're too many points so I couldn't type them all down.

After the talk, we bowed our heads in prayer and went upstairs to eat. Sadly, ladies first. I had to thank God for giving me the oppurtunity to know and test my patience...LOL... I tell you all THE FOOD WAS GREEEAAATTT!!! Thanks guys for the wonderful meal.

After that, some of us chit chat with the UCSI students while some of us had a free jamming time.

The performance by the UCSI team with Kent, Jeffery and Ivan helping out.


As you can see the church was full on that day. The most crowded HG I've ever seen in my 4 years with HG.

Till the next time. And to UCSI, we hope to see you all again.

Shalom...

Pictures of the Week

We HG'ites really love McDonalds do we?

20th March 2009

Hello hello~ Welcome to His Generation! Please come forward thank you thank you! Sounds familiar? =P Oh yes! We had our weekly meeting today.. I worship led for today's worship session, together with the worship team(June, Jason, Ivan, Jeff and Chester) Thanks for the play! I enjoyed the worship very much =)

Songs for today : -
1. Lord I life Your name on high
2. One way
3. Heart of worship
4. Amazed

Right after the worship session, we prayed for a few people in different place, for those among us who had moved on for further studies, whether its in overseas or out of KT.. Just to let all of you know that we remember you guys and girls in prayer! ^^ Talking about leaving the group, Jeffery, will be leaving us for KL. This is his last session with us before he leaves.. Herm.. What can I say about him? I love to work with him.. He can be kinda perfectionist at times.. Especially on worship, with all the chords, strumming etc.. I believe the younger guitarist learnt a lot from him.. Although sometimes he may sounds very fierce and straight forward, but he's sincere in teaching all of you.. Hahaha.. He had been serving very faithfully for quite some times now.. Whether is it to open the church door, set the PA, lock up the santuary or fetch us makan here and there.. We truly apreciate that Jeff! and we will certainly miss you.. Will keep you in prayer from time to time! Gambateh! ^^

Today we continued on on honoring our parents..

exodus 20:12
Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

exodus 21:15
Anyone who attacks his father or his mother must be put to death.

exodus 21:17
Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.

Sometimes without us realising, we are being rude to parents, or even "bully" them, talk bad and curse our parents! Okay, I admit I did.. I really did.. Some times it might feels like-"Oh! Why cant he thinks further?! Why is my old man so stubborn?!"-kind-of-things.. Then we'll throw tonnes of reasons to cover up our actions.. Think about it, did you honored your parents the way they should be honored? As it had been told for the past 2 weeks, Exodus 20:12 is the only commandment that comes with a promise. I believe the "live long" doesnt only mean physical life, but also means blessings.. We should respect and honor our parents. They are there for a purpose.. Who wiped your butt when you poo poo-ed? Who fed you and educate you? If its not of our parents, do you think you will sit there, in front of a PC/laptop, reading this? Of course its God's grace that we lived! But its also God's grace that our parents are here! Treasure your parents.. They wont be with you for long.. You will never know what's on your way tomorrow.. =)

Bible takes this very seriously.. "Anyone who attacks and curses his father or his mother must be put to death."?! Well.. lives are very important to everyone of us.. no doubt. But here it says "PUT TO DEATH"! Did you see how serious is God when He said this? To what extend do we take this seriously? Honoring my parents.. Very easy larh! Is it true? Hahahaha.. I doubt that if you really think so.. I think its kinda hard, need a lot of patience and self control too.. But this is that the Lord COMMAND us to do.. So, shall we try our best from today onwards? ^^

That's all from me, see you guys, same time, same place next week! Have a great week! ^^
