___________________________________________________________________
Chow Chin - I learnt that when we see unlovable people no from the eyes of the world but from God, we will tend to be seen as different to the world. we will automatic go approach the unlovable ones and talk to them, given the chance to share the gospel as well. we just need to be different from the world, in terms of looking at things and talking and our characteristic.
Eileen - Lord have actually touched me and Lord wants me to love peoples like - ah lians ah bengs - and those who needs God love in their lives. God also wants us to be with like Jesus to love everyone whose around us. We just need a little kindness to others and when we share to them the gospel we not only have to share it but share it with our lifestyle too.
Grace - A little kindness can transform the world. Loving the unlovable just like how Jesus loves zaccheaus. A little compassion and it will touch the lives of others.
Chong Mun - It was indeed an eye opening experience. The preacher was great and was very interactive with the youths. Except for the compound, service was great and everyone was indeed delirious with joy.
Nicholas - Today's sermon about loving the unlovable strikes me a lot. The one person that comes to my mind is my classmate, shunned and uncared for by others. Less than a handful even actually says "hi" to him. This CNY he is the one person I will and must give a gift to and pray for. Though he is not very hot tempered but I believe with faith and prayer we can move the mountains and bring Love into his life.
Melissa - Todays service tallies with what God has taught me for the past week. to show a little kindness to be wise in my actions. To work my attitude. I'm a very short tempered person, God told me to be tolerant this week and I did, and my friends all realised it and said that it indeed was a good change. I am going to continue to improve myself and my own attitude first. In my small little way, tell my friends about God.
Weilong - Today i Learnt that we should love those unlovable and with a little kindness, we can transform the world for Christ. I also learnt that true compassion must put love into action. I can apply to life by loving my friends and not go unloved.
Cheng Yeh - I really felt the presence of God although today service is short but God had touched my heart today with this sermon. When the pastor said the girl jumped down from a flat and died what came into my mind was a classmate. He was the only christian in my class and all my other classmates dislikes him and I was the onlyone who is close with him. Even though the class dislikes him but he still chooses to stand firm for God. He kept asking me to go to his church. But many times I rejected him. He kept on asking until 4 years ago he died in a car accident. I didn't had much response about it until today where I was reminded of how long ago God has already started to plant that seed of love into my life, how much and for how long God had loved us and we just never realised it. I need to learn to love those unlovable for God.
Qi Jun - Didn't want to worship or praise at first today, but as the songs goes on, thoughts filled my mind and before I know it - I was worshipping God already. The sermon was a powerful one when I heard of the sermon title, my first reactions is that I am one of the unlovable one. I was feeling a bit emoton-less until I get to hear about the students in Northlight school, those we are rejected, then compassion starts to come into me. The worship was awesome and just at that point I was thinking that I am the unlovable one, then as brother Andrew laid his hand on me and said "You are lovely." That really encouraged me alot and God starts to remind me of the people around me. Indeed He is God and even when I ask Him to go away, He's still there showing to me the love that others can't.
Siheng - Today's sermon reminds me a lot about the parable of the servants and talents. Even though it feels quite odd to put it together but as God began to lead me through the links I begin to see how lousy a life I've been leading... Few months back I can lie my way through things that I hated - rumoring and gossiping -where my classmates pairs me up with another girl and even though I treated all of 'em with the same attitude and kindness. It always seemed so weird to me and maybe because I lost a really really good friend(girl) by those gossiping and rumors that's why I try to by all means get out of it, until a point of time where God convicted me and teaches me the correct way to get out of it. But back to the parable by seeing what brother Andrew has been doing, I started to wonder and asking God what is my talent.. What is my talent that I can use to impact lives and how can I go about doing it. As I ponder about these things again and again, I was lead to this thought.. Everyone has a common talent - love. I heard that love is not an emotion but it is an ability but to me it is both emotions and ability we have the capablities to love. By treating everyone with love, in every act we do for people spice it up a little with love and when we show kindness show it out of love. We can do so much yet little is done with this talent, love. So, everything has got to have a start and I'm going to start loving others with what I can do and whatever I am lead to do because this is what we are all called to do so lets do it!!
Joey-Today i learnt that we need to have the eyes of God to see the people around us and show them just a little kindness to them and it might help them in whatever situation. Just care for the ones that no one care and it might cheer them up and who knows,they will talk to you about their problems.
Siew Yu-I learnt that by showing a little kindness i can actually impact the person's life. I heard God was telling me that he can actually use me also to show love and concern to some unlovable people. the service was great.
Gillot-I've learnt that we should love the unlovable people,because God love us,he loves everyone no matter who they are. And we should also show kindness to people,even little kindness also can,for we can change the world for Jesus. And whatever we do,should have compassion only then we can put our love into action not only base on thinking and talking.
Xiao Grace-I learned that with a litte kindness,we can change the world for Jesus and the true compation can put love into action. The sermon was quite fun too.
Wei Yang-Before the service,i never do any kind of things to my classmates. When they have no money to eat,i don't want to lend them as i think they will not return me. My fear of rejection take over my compassion for the lost. After the service,i know that if i don't save them,they will perish forever. So,i want to try my best to invite my friends to church,and to invite the BB sec 1 to church.
Shi Ting-Today we must love those who are unlovable and we must actually be different from the rest and as people begin to notice the different in us,they will want to know about christ.
Joyce-God like to turn to people who are unlovable,to the people we don't like to go near to. With a little kindness. We can change the world for Jesus. Through compassion,will put love into compassion. We should have a little kindness to change the world,for Jesus. We are called as little christ.
You Yang-With a little effort from us,can make a different for God as people begin to see the example of us and would want to be like us,giving love to the unlovable ones. People will see the different in us and would want to join us. To impact someone may not need to be a great thing but a little things can make a big different.
weihao- i should be following the friends that is teasing and making fun any people in the class or cca. i learnt that i can make a different by just showing a little kindness and concern to that particular person. i should be a people person that is always eyes open big to search for the people that need Christ's and concern. God spoke to me a few people in my school that i can do something to show love and concern, the service was good.
Xuan Ling. i learnt that by expressing a little kindness to the poor and the neglected in the world and actually do a big thing to the world. i will therefore look out for any of my friends that is alone and no one care to even try to talk to her .the service was good.
MING QIAN: God taught me that we should not look down on others, we should love others like how God love us and everybody should be treated equally.
HANNAH: Today would be one of my most unforgettable sermon. All I have to do is to show a little bit of kindness to the unloved. I could feel God's compassion for the people and I started tearing. I will not only love God, but also love His people.
GEO: I learnt more about God today. But don't know how to explain.
ZARA: Yesterday I learn that if I experience any discouragement from my friend I should just continue to pray and if I show a little bit of kindness the person can feel it.
SHAN YAO: Through Christ in me, even that little kindness can touch the lives of the unlovable. More than just finding people who seem pleasing to us, we should also have compassion towards people who does not seem to be doing well too. To see the world through the eyes of Christ.
DORCAS: I learnt that showing kindness can transform someone's life. It doesn't take major actions but showing love from the heart of compassion is all that matters. And I really pray and hope that the eyes of Jesus will never leave me, but instead grow to be more sensitive to those around me who really need Him!
YANXING: The service is good. I have learnt that even if I hate the person alot I still need to try to make friends with him.
PATRICIA: We should not just reach out to people whom we treat as friends. But also reach out to our "enemies" as God says to love everyone. So everyone should be treated equally. We should not just seat there expecting people to come to us but take the initiative and trust in God to approach them.
Shiqi: Even if we hate our enemies, we must still love our enemies. Church is a place that we must come every week. Kindness can help us do many things.
XinLei: I learnt that with a little kindness, we can transform the world for Jesus.
Dorcas Lee: The sermon was quite interesting.

Joanna: We need to see people around us with God's view not our own view. We need to show kindness towards people around us.
Ewan: I learnt that if I take the first step and show people kindness, we change the world.
SiewSia: I learnt that we need to love the unlovable, a simple love is enough for them. Little kindness that we show, can transform the world for God. We need to love God and people more. If we have compassion, we will use our actions and not by saying it.
Cynthia: I learnt that seeing through Jesus's eyes is vital for us, to have compassion. Always bear in mind what would Jesus do.

Gideon: In today's service, I learnt about the poor in Singapore, who they are and what they need. In order to help them, we have to love the unlovalbe and I also learnt how to do that.
Sherman: Today I learnt that I have to be kinder to others. I learnt that a little kindness goes a long way. A little kindness can change lives. Ernest: Today I learnt of Jesus loving the unlovable. For me, I used to be a person who doesn't want to reach out to those problematic and unlovable people but the more I should do so. God still love them no matter how unlovable they are. I need to have the compassion for them and share to them, they need to know about His unconditional love.
CS: The service was awesome, God spoke to me about showing little kindness to people around me could change the way they react to me someday. My brother and I wasn't in a good relationship for a very long time. When I became a Christian he despised me even more, cause he feels tat i am not a fillial child. All these while, i didn't know what i can do other than giving in to him when I can and not quarrel with him so much. sometimes i feel that i should stop doing what i do cause his opinion of me still doesn't change, but today God told me that someday he will be touched by what i have done in the past, i must and will continue to pray for my family's salvation!
