so you'll sermon okay so this sermon was composed by a
reverent veldman so galling push as a free Reformed Church of a
southern river was Kelmscott. So upon sermon is a bridge
originally preached way back in February 2001 and maraming
Salamat said just for using a reverend Veldman to proclaim his
word. OK, so many weeks ago.
Abu Nathan so far in the Maralinga China tanser monaten
was yung Tungkol nang church San secular society 19 so it Bangko
NATO motoka is a passage Mula sermon on the Mount Cristo
Church out of the earth and light of the world.
So I think it was delivered by Elder Justine.
No you about super pic neon and give us a sermon neon.
Don't call yourself function now.
Meron Church nalin nagging salt and light kahit saglit na nan
corrupt society high calling for us and kelangan nothing
materialised. Nataya magiging nai kanga is

nothing so practical terms don't tisa practical terms to nai
nasal plan ko meron tayong genuine willingness.
Now listen you lahat nang impure elements by way of the
outworking of the Holy Spirit in us meaning sanctification.
Now discussing this further, pondering upon this bucketing up
noella tayang hirap them agree what time minute sabihin natin
that we need sanctification 19 required in our life of our
gratitude with him we agree pero sabi Lang Banda A madalas eh

also dovers of God's Word, Bakichana pahera and shepherding
Dilan ilang sakanila. But in general, so I think now
padding it along lanahan sermons narain indignation madalas
nagaland cotman. But we need that question
Parasiting self examination now. Patuli Parenting.
Nuhai as we see fit. Answer Walang.
Inward change of the heart. Napa Deli may not work in In
other words, in a living relationship with the Lord in
our union with Christ. They will happen.
Magbabago lino generation now Sermon on the Mount.
So been again warning you. Now we're going out towards
England. No parabens union warning the
Christ and not prone putito like what are you apron putito now?
Sinasabing Cristo don't be a hypocrite.
Very plainly that he teaches us and eliminate Anna Karamihan
satin in Hindi gusto yung salitang hypocrite married in

because you literal meaning is entitle nano papakita nang falls
appearance numero sang mascara so parabolan acting yeah you
talaga example acting yeah spell Guinea new companion app Pattaya
nila so angina go along is just trying to attract attention now
paramita nothing pati Pala langlet.
What matters is not what people think about us, but how God sees
us. Compare angios kahit nawala
yamagata paligid natin studying room nothing during our free
time, what we are like when we close the door and yes poi
tapinda but nothing examines amounts are really nothing.
Kapag nagisa tayo Capuano get nothing and don't put Makita kya
bana thin ipalabas Islam ABBA I genuine believers.
So Leon some Matthew 6 mababasa punati Newton called their room
some more. So you people goes up and attend
and alarm going familiar tiraditos are teaching attorney
Christ pero yung tanong is ginaganito private matter Lang
you faith. I think private devotion to the
Lord and also good is of course in there, but nevertheless, for
us to live by faith and something akin to retain the
soul in us in paging as seen the new flavour nothing.
We also need our inner room in a public worship.
We also need our private devotion to the Lord.
Yes, type and as a public worship tournament is Bananaman
impacting private worship and Ditto Polao pumping apathy by
young Ugnayan Natin saddos in our inner room.
So you not nothing last week as I delivered by Elder Ed and you
didn't put your own connection now Matthew 5 and Matthew 6 and
did the post Samantha 5 kumba balika not in Conte so not
banget Cristo Tonkotsu outward side nothing with him right then
better suck continuation nan simony Christ Samantha 6.
So Christ also speaks about the inner side of our life with the
Lord. In total, burritos are outside
outward side, NATO, so Babalikan Christo from Matthew 516.
So I'm talking about outward side, Matthew 516.
Come, I don't mind buying balls. You may follow me.
Matthew 516 In the same way, let your light shine before others,
so that they may see your good works, and give glory to her
Father who is in heaven. And Gannon then at the same time
Matthew 520 For I tell you, unless your righteousness
exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter
the Kingdom of heaven inner side.
So Sinabing Crystal Makita Natin Samantha 6 verse one chapter
Matthew 6 verse one because of practicing your righteousness
before other people in order to be seen by them, for then we'll
have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
Can we put Matthew 6? So they began examples dito
natun Coles ipagawa nang charitable deeds don't call
sprayer and Tunkol sa fasting. If we make it an attend someone
Latino Torona satin and this so I would like to focus in
particular Potito sat third illustration Nanga general rule
Latino Toro Jesus, which is fasting big boy on and yes, but
now I preach to you God's word. So under the following headings
adding title Christ's word about fasting points us to our
personal relation with God. So Kaya Makita, enough for
fasting, so that, but nothing. Don't go in with the whole point
to number 1 and #2 #1 not to receive a reward from men #2 but
to strengthen our bond with God. Gay boy crying sentence.
Not to receive a reward from men, but to strengthen our bond
or communion with God. Okay, possible body Musab
Bangladesh, all pray Taipei Manalangin, our Father in
heaven, we asked for the light of your spirit that you're
eliminate us. Grant us clarity to the
preaching that your servant here may faithfully proclaim Christ
and him crucified with the power of your truth.
So Glen, grant clarity also power hearing that our minds may
be renewed, our hearts and our wills inclined to obedience to
you. And now we pray all Lord, that
the scriptures will inform our thoughts, our lives, and lead us
nearer to Christ, who is our wisdom and righteousness.
So we pray all Lord, that you speak, your servants are
listening in Jesus name, Amen. I hope so long illustrations now
so some of the six accounting and nothing you play closely
connected Hindi Lampur dito sa chapter NATO didn't talk about
Matthew 6, but more so in general, no Anamika Nathan's
scripture young giving to the needy prayer and fasting Nah

fasting 18 point noting that path he overlook make it a
nothing connection and onto no doubt prayer is the most
important. We can see Panganai young giving

panalangin sincerely as we see the needs of others and our
need. OK so let me explain further.
Etopia muna una salahat and this is the truth.
