Yes, it's been our long time dream to experience sunday service at New Creation Church, where pastor Joseph Prince is preaching. First time we planned to go to Singapore, already bought the unrefundable ticket and stuffs was failed because i was hospitalized due to dengue fever. Hiks!But last week we did it!!!
The one thing that didn't go with the plan was ps. Prince didn't preach that sunday. I already checked even double triple checked their website and it said that he will preach the whole month. But it turned out that ps Prince went on holiday with his family and one of his pastor, ps. Lian who'd preach the sunday service. At first i was a little dissapointed, until i hear her explaining the bible, and... awesome.... The message was just as powerful and great. I'd love to hear her preach more.
Anyway the whole experience was amazing.
We came 15 minutes early for the service and the auditorium has already been full we had to go to the overflow rooms at Ang Weh Cinema. I was amazed of the vibrant and eagerness of people who wants the hear God's Word. When we got there there were already people queu for the next service which was 2,5 hours later. I mean, really, don't ever think of queuing, in my church back there in Paris, there were thousands of church's seat but only few people. By few i mean less that 15 people including children.
The worship was simple yet beautiful. We sang 3 or 4 songs. The band was not too loud -as in some charismatic church i've been-, and the song were not all too happy-clappy version. Most of them were the slow and soft tune songs. Before the sermon, there was communion, which led by a young pastor. He led by saying all things written in the bible about what communion is, but he said it with his heart, stressing on what Jesus has done for us and how much He loved us. Nobody, even the pastor himself could succesfuly hold their tears.
The sermon's message touched my heart deeply. I'll explain in my next post.
