OPENING
We are living in a very unkind world
With the growing sense of individualism, people are becoming less compassionate towards other people
We live in a time where forgiveness became a very difficult act, and people claims fairness by getting even
The story of Lizzie reminds us today of the kind of world we’re living in… almost 5m views..
Just this week a 10-year old hanged herself as a result of her cruel environment | Allison Wendel from OC (show news image)
We are nagged by this horrifying events around us that became so common these days..
Tired of hearing from your nagging wife/husband?
you may have retracted to your own quiet shell hoping you’ll find peace
We are nagged by this common events around us
But no matter where you lock up yourself, the realities of your surroundings will hound you
You cannot continue to live in-denial of the things happening around us, you may for a while, but eventually it will come right back knocking at your doorstep
You may opt not to watch the news, but on another stream, the horrible things going on in the world you live in will creep on you
Turkey attacked Syria.
President Trump pulling out of our troops from northern Syria created a lot of noise in our homeland (show news image turkey)
The Democrats is hell bent to impeach the President (show news image impeachment)
China’s hostile claim of the islands in the Philippine Sea (show news image China)
I can go on the whole day and I will not run out of things to say about how desperate our world has become
Without having to ask each and everyone of you, I know that there is a small voice deep inside you crying out for a better world to live in
But we are paralyzed by the desperate situation of the world, and we tend to do nothing.. we sat on the fence and wait for others to do what God has called us to do..
Thinking that our small acts will never make a difference
Remember the Lego?
The small tiny pieces of plastic may not count for much, but when they are put together, they can build amazing objects
That instead of living out our God-given purpose, we tend to be just like everyone else, making no difference at all! Hiding in the comfort of our shell!
Shrugging things under the carpet, and hoping that they will go away, but they won’t unless the 2.3B (31.5%)
Christians all over the world will have to do something!

Why is it that christianity is consistently declining, while Islam is consistently growing?
Christianity who advocates love & peace???
The only religion who has a living God!! Why???
Let me tell you why!
Because we are so complacent!
We misunderstood the message!
During the exodus God, through Moses said to His people...
When God said in …
That’s why we make fun of ourselves when we joke about, “many are called, but few are ‘frozen’!”
That’s the problem when we christians will only listen to what we wanted to hear!
We pick and choose scriptures from the Bible that will make us feel good!
Unless we shift the way how we hear and listen from God, our generation will not curve the trend!
Christianity!
The religion of kindness, compassion, forgiveness & love, will continue to decline!
Let’s read through and see what God told Moses....
We should like the “verbs” and not just “adjectives” found in the Word of God
The Lord said “move on”!
Is this an indication that we are throwing the towel?
Is it game over for us??
Islam
Is it game over for
When Joshua was to succeed Moses in leading God’s people to safety, this was his words to him
PAUSE!
Do you remember the soundtrack from the movie Ghostbusters?
The first couple of lines goes...
If there's something strange in you neighborhood
Who you gonna call?
(ghostbusters)
If there's something weird
And it don't look good Who you gonna call?
(ghostbusters)
Whenever we found ourselves in trouble, or in a difficult situation, we call on someone… when we should call on the “One”
We live in a world of fantasy being tired of reality
We rely on superheroes to change the world for us!
Who is your favorite superhero?
We don’t need any superhero!
Each of you are heroes!
Tell the person next to you! “You are a hero!”
As we wrap up our study on the letter of Paul to the Ephesus, we can find
Dream Big Act Small
Often, when we think about making an impact in the world, changing the world, we get hung up on thinking about big acts, superhero kinds of things
But in the letter of Paul to the christians in Ephesus (modern day Turkey), he spelled out small acts, with big impacts!
Often, when we think about making an impact in the world, changing the world, we get hung up on thinking about big acts, superhero kinds of things
We’ve gone through the letter, and on the first part we heard about the redemptive plan of God
That we are chosen!
We are predestined to the good works that God has prepared for us in advance!
That Jewish and Gentiles are unified as one people to be united with God
That together, we can find peace!
Together, we can experience love!
Together, we can grow stronger!
And Together We Can Change the World
Now, what are these small acts with big impacts?
TEXT: Ephesians 4:32-5:2
Read with me in…
Ephesians
From this, Paul gave us simple acts with big impacts!
Be Kind
Be Compassionate
Be Forgiving
Be Loving
SMALL ACTS WITH BIG IMPACTS!
Kindness Always Brings Me Happiness
Kindness (chrestotes in Greek) is a characteristic of God.
A fruit of the Holy Spirit expected from every believer
You Can Accomplish By Kindness, What You Cannot Accomplish by Force.
