Needs of the SOUL....

Needs of the SOUL - by Pastor Kong Hee 11th June 2006

1) Spiritual
-an area only God can fill
-to experience God. To encounter, come under the power of God

2) Love
if there is no l0ve in our lives, we will feel empty
tts why we long for relationship, fellowship, community...
blogging etc ..a need in the human soul to connect....
A sense of belonging to people we love and people who love us
tt is why our family is important. To feel love and to love them.

3) Self esteem
to feel proud of ourselves
asset who we are
even Jesus was attacked in this area to doubt who he is " if u are the son of God, bow down and worship me..etc'
Christianity is not a bed of rose ..it is an ' in spite of ' faith ...

4) Knowledge

5) Security
e.g. economic security

6) Asthetic
i.e. arts, painting, music, dance, sculpture, architecture, decoration
Whatever that is beautiful ......
We live an impoverished life if there is no art in our lives.
art : an expression of our creativity and innovation
art makes the invisible visible
brings into the natural what we sense in the spirit
communicates our emotion and ideas...
arts fills the soul with delight, with grandeur ...' a painting of the grand canyon ' ...
Fashion...Trend ....

7) Freedom
in 4 areas....

a. in speech and expression
b. to worship
c. from poverty and lack
d. from fear

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.....

Because of all these needs..we have what we have in society
> Education
> Church
> Government
> Media fighting for press freedom
> Family ......
> Arts

Society can never achieve its full potential if any of these needs are not met.

All these can be applied into our church ..
asthetics > music , dancing, fashion ..
freedom > not being controlled or forced to do things ..
Knowledge > able to understand the word of God
Self esteem> edifying, encouraging...
Love > the Love of God, fellowship with others...
Spiritual > filled with the presence of God...
Security > in God , the church is open to its people ..
