From Friday to the first day of the week

This is an excel file about the Passover is the feast consist of two unique covenant.

circumcision of Heart - is fulfill in Yeshua who died for our sins, - immersion - salvation by faith - meaning born again
Circumcision of Flesh.- is the Avrahamic Covenant a physical sign or "trade mark" not salvation issue

Note that the Passover also has two parts of the remembrance feasts

the first part is the Deliverance of bondage of slavery in Egypt - Yisrael -represented by the slaughtering lamb and Passover seder meal.

The second part is the Deliverance of bondage of sin - all mankind only by believing and receiving the blood Atonement of Yeshua. This is represented by the Fruit of Vine (grape Juice) and the Matzot - unleaven bread.

It is not easy to observe the 7 days of unleavened bread, especially all around us is leaven bread, yeast and unclean food. Last Shabbat I attend the sister meeting, it was heavy downpour. so difficult to call for a taxi. Thank God Manage got a taxi to church with my 3 boys. just right in time and didn't got wet. I don't like to be late, We had the talk by Mrs Ian Burnese share about women ministry, I get to learn more about women's ways in serving the Lord and also a nurse speak about first aids for treating wounds. I use to be a st John first Avid courses during my school day. There was refreshment but I could not eat most of the food, only cui kway, water melon and jelly longan, tea coffee and plain water.

Thursday night Gladys call me up ask me to attend Shabbat meeting at her home. I told her I am all booked already. On Friday there was Mission exhibit in our church, I wasn't down. evening I attend our CEP group leader Chia Boon Hong's home fellowship. Their family present each of our family a laminated A4 size card "Christian home" it is also a song.

Any way I got a make up meal at Shabbat with beef minces, spinach and white rice at Devorah's home, also brought along my 3 boys with me. the meal kind of chilled meal but good enough to fill my tummy and also do the Seder meal together with the boys. But it is difficult for them to understand. I have a lap top computer so I could give a brief run through. Abe Chew already half way the message, I jia su a little a day ahead I ask him some question and the notes first.

Today the first day of the week, morning ministry, I got to look at the mission ministries exhibit, very well done, I was particularly interested at the Mongolia, main religion are Buddhist shama religion is spiritism and Islam. I remember I have send you all Mongolian Christian songs. The breaking of bread service didn't get the partake the leaven bread and wine got it pass over. Any way I have already had my Passover meal which include the break of bread (unleavened). If it is unleavened bread and grape juice then I would have taken it. I will resume normal partaking the breaking of bread after the Passover.

Afternoon we had tracting in our neighborhood, From one of the block 173, I could see our church, I suggested to Kurien that the glass window should have a evangelist bible verse on wind pane because the block faces directly at the church with the eye catch verse would be ideal good news messages. Most of the block face the direction of the church, every one who walk in the corridor could see the church. We are glad to know and spoke to a few China young teens, we invited them to attend the Young peoples meetings.

Two more days to the end of passover. Yeah can eat leaven bread and noodles. I think is really good to keep the 7 days free from leaven because I feel lot more healthier and may slim down a little. Hi Hi hi

Synopsis:

Amazing Grace (2007)

Amazing Grace, based on the inspiring true life story of British antislavery pioneer William Wilberforce, is directed by Michael Apted (49 Up, HBO's Rome, Coal Miner's Daughter) from an original screenplay written by Academy Award® nominee Steven Knight (Dirty Pretty Things).

It's the age of the Great British Empire and William Wilberforce (Gruffudd) is a newcomer to the world of politics. Just 21 years of age when he enters office, he must learn to operate in a world of skillful deception and cunning one-upmanship in order to attain his unpopular goal: the abolition of slavery. As he struggles to find his way, he slowly loses his mind and his health. However, with the support of his closest friend, Prime Minister William Pitt (Cumberbatch) and a dedicated group of like-minded supporters, Wilberforce wages the first modern political campaign, using petitions, boycotts, mass meetings, badges and slogans. Over the course of two decades, Wilberforce takes on the English establishment and finally persuades those in power to end the inhumane slave trade.

Amazing Grace (How sweet the sound)
That sav'd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev'd;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ'd!

Thro' many dangers, toils and snare,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall profess, within the vail,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call'd me here below,
Will be for ever mine.

Our group sister share these words of inspiration

I've been very encouraged by Jesus' words in John 14:27 & John 15:1-15 this
week: "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you not as the world
gives do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled nor be afraid ...
Abide in Me, ... My love ..." May these verses also minister much to you
