On Thursday 19 April, the Klang class began their new semester. They are continuing with their study of the Book of Revelation. A few new members joined the class.
If you know of anyone who would be interested in studying the Bible in Klang, please direct them to CBSI Malayisa.
Still going strong
Happy Anniversary
Sanctuary decorated for Easter
For Christians all over the world it is a day of celebration of the Risen Christ. We remember the empty tomb that gives us hope that we will also be resurrected to be with the Lord. This is the Christian hope. Christ Jesus did not only come to give us life but to give us Eternal life. This is dwelling in God’s presence forever. This can be experienced here in this world and will lead us on into the next.
If you have never heard of Eternal life, please look for a Christian and ask him or her to explain this to you. This will be a life changing moment. If you are interested to know more what the Bibles teachers about this life, look for one of the CBSI BIble study classes near you and join the class today. If you still cannot find please email CBSI Malaysia and we will see that you are help. God Bless you.
HAPPY EASTER.
The PJ and Bandar Utama Classes will take a short break for Passion Week and Easter. Classes will resume after Easter. Tuesday 10 April for the PJ Class and Friday 20 for the Bandar Utama Class.
Have a meaningful Passion Week
Please pray with us as we try to hold this training for all Bible Study Leaders (SGLs). We see that this will greatly help our small group leaders to understand the text and be able to lead exciting discussions. This is also a way of growing our leaders to be mature and confident in handling God’s Word. Pray that we would be able to source the right person to lead in this seminar.
If you are interested in this area of Biblical studies, please let us know and we will be in touch with you once date and venue has been decided,
Mrs Glo Rajendram one of the other ATL gave last Tuesday’s lecture at the PJ Class. Being a teacher herself, it was evident to see the passion in teaching God’s Word. She asked if anyone present was confronted by the question, “have you been saved?” She was recollecting the past where these were the sort of distinctions made of Christians. She put this in the context of Nicodemus coming to Jesus by night, taking that initiative to seek Jesus out for a personal time. He realized that there was something of “a spiritual transformation” that was needed in his time. Jesus saw that he man man must know the truth so that his spiritual eyes could be opened and thus inherit the Kingdom of God. Jesus helps Nicodemus’ understanding by drawing a comparison between the wind and the Holy Spirit. Has any man able to control the wind? In the same way no man will be able to control the Holy Spirit when it comes. Thus the challenge for us is to look outwards to God’s presence in the world. To look inwards to see what we need for our spiritual lives and to look upwards to what Jesus had done on the cross.
ATL at PJ Class
The last 2 week we have had our Assistant Teaching Leaders to give the lectures.
Esther Richards spoke on the theme “Jesus The Reformer” (John 2:12-25) She challenged the class with a statement” Faith is not a convenience for us” She went on to speak about Jesus’ zeal for His Father’s House that saw a display of physical force combined with a righteous anger and his spiritual intolerance. He was always the Son of the Father and therefore the Messiah who is to come. Thus his zeal was to restore the temple to its Godly purpose.
A new class has been running for the last 2 weeks. This is held in Bandar Utama 12. They are studying James. It is hoped that this class would soon grow. Members are inviting others to come to learn God’s Word together, so that we could be His light in the World.
If you have friends living in the area, please let us know.
God Bless.
Mr.John Liew, ASDK, JP
Mr. John Liew taught the first Chinese Class of over 40 members in Kota Kinabalu. They studied the Gospel of Luke.
Mr. John Liew has been a faithful church leader, elder and preacher. His love for the Word of God is seen in his willingness to go to anywhere, where people desired and hungered for the Word. He has been a great co-worker in the teaching of the Word and we will surely miss him as he takes his well earned retirement.
We look to his continued support to the ministry of CBSI Malaysia.
John was awarded the following awards by the State Government of Sabah.
1976 – ASDK and in 1977 Justice of Peace.
CBSI Malaysia wishes John a Happy retirement and pray for his continued health.
Thank You, John
