Expand Your Territory – Richard Huang

Welcome to CROLCC, we are so glad you are here worshiping with us. We just concluded our series In the Meantime and I wish our in the meantime moments would have also concluded with the series. But of course that’s not the case, many of us are still in those in the meantime moments. I just want to say I will be praying for you. I also want to encourage you to pray those prayers that we asked you to pray. Do you still have the card and the bookmark? It is so vital for us as Christians to continue to believe that God is not absent, apathetic or angry with us. Instead, believe that God is with you, cares about you and for you. Ask him to give you the wisdom to see as He sees and the strength to do as He says.

Today is the last Sunday of October and we are officially (says me) into the yearend holiday season. There will be many opportunities for us to gather with our family and friends and therefore I wanted to do a series on inviting people to church starting next Sunday. Did you know there are actually clues for us to invite them? Anyway, before that, we have a very special guest speaker with us today. I have asked pastor Richard to share with us his passion for the church. I hope you will learn or something or be reminded of something. Please give him and his family a very warm welcome!

Changing Your Mind

Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.

Isaiah 54:2-3

Discussion Questions

1. Read Isaiah 54:2. What are some examples of the limitations you have placed on yourself? What are some things you could do to break through your limitations?

2. What are some things that you need to do to build a firm foundation for your life?

3. How would you like to serve in the church? How would you like to serve the community God placed around you?
