Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
In the last service of January, Pastor Melinda focused on Psalm 90, emphasizing the contrast between the eternal God and transient man, and the brokenness of the world due to sin. The psalm also highlights the mercy of God and the blessing of a relationship with Him. Moses’ prayer for God to change the times of their lives is transformed into a promise through Jesus.
Pastor Esther Tham shared a powerful sermon on Psalm chapter 4, written by King David during a time of distress. The passage encourages believers to trust in God’s divine intervention and seek relief from distress. Despite his turmoil with his son Absalom, David found joy and peace in God’s presence. The sermon emphasized trusting in the Lord, offering right sacrifices, and praising Him for His grace.
Christmas is just two days away. The Christmas season is a good time for reflection, an opportunity to ask questions to ascertain the direction in which we should be heading in life.
As we go through the challenges of life, will we, as children of God, be able to persevere in faith, hope, and love?
Why is your heart troubled? Why is your soul not at rest?

Today, we want to look at the book of 1 Peter. This letter was written by Peter in approximately AD62. Peter was probably in Rome when we wrote this later, and it was during the great persecution under Emperor Nero.
Today we shall be using this passage as a launching pad to look into the metaphor of light and darkness in the Bible.
There are so many factors that affect the state of our soul. Relationships, health, and emotions are some of these factors.

Turn our focus to God, God is with us, and we should stand firm. Run as the winner runs. We do not do it on our own strength but the Lord’s. It is not how we start matters; it is how we finish. The finish line of the race is Christlikeness.
Worship has always been a contentious aspect of church services. Those who prefer a more subdued and reflective style of worship find overly expressive forms of worship uncomfortable, possibly even arrogant and showy. On the other hand, others from a more Pentecostal/charismatic background find this type of worship stiff and lacking the Spirit.

On this Harvest Mission Sunday, we will spend some time looking into the grace of giving once again.
It is likely that God wants to stretch your faith today. It begins with you putting your 5 loaves and 2 fish into the hands of the Lord and trusting Him to come through for you.
As I reflect upon the kind of church God wants Tabernacle of Praise to be, I have come to realise that the kind of church that TOP becomes is inextricably tied to the kind of people we all are as members of TOP.
In these few verses, Jesus said in the upper room teaching his disciples on the night of his betrayal. When he is about to depart from them and so he is preparing them for the time when he is not there with them physically. What he is preparing for in particular in this passage is how to have a relationship with Jesus. What it means to actually have a relationship, a living abiding relationship with Jesus that produces God’s honouring fruit in our life.
Have you wondered how God looks at you? Specifically, the question relates to whether God is more interested in who you become than in what you achieve?
Today I’d like you to consider what word or picture comes to mind when we hear the word “problem.” We tend to have negative connotations when it comes to problems. We don’t look forward to nor welcome problems. But how about the word “miracle”?
What do you see when you think about the lives of people all around you? When we really take time to reflect upon this question one inescapable fact is that suffering is part and parcel of this temporal life in this world. The sermon today addresses this issue from the perspective of the apostle Peter.
The step of repentance. By taking a closer look at Jonah, let us start trusting God in His final decisions and really trusting Him with our concerns. We want to fully be submitted to His plan and His way. May our zeal can be reignited, and the standard of Christ can once again burn brightly in our lives
I do not know what you are going through, but God sees what you are going through and He is with you in that situation, in that conflict, in that pain and in that trouble. He has the power to change our situation.
Revival is a hot topic in Christian circles these days. The latest revival to hit the news is the Asbury Revival which began spontaneously on February 8, 2023, at Asbury University’s regularly scheduled chapel service. It led to a multi-week gathering that drew visitors from all over the US and even the world until the university officially ended on-campus services on February 23 at the National Collegiate Day of Prayer broadcast hosted by the university.
In today’s sermon, I wish to lead us to reflect upon eternity and its relation to our present life.
The sermon today continues with spiritual insights that can be drawn from a study of the speech of the apostle Paul to the Ephesian elders on his way to Jerusalem as he finishes his third missionary journey.
To hold on to the basic teachings about Jesus, God’s Word is the greatest truth that builds up our lives. With this, we need to be rooted in God’s Word. Finding purpose through the Word of God.
Having a personal relationship with God. The right relationship with Him. There is value in devotion, however, we need more than devotion, we need to understand who God is and Jesus is the model of intimacy. Jesus is the model, He models devotion, and He models understanding of God.

Community evangelism is an area of evangelism that requires a concerted team effort on the part of the church.
One pastor once said that you could give the secret of a good marriage in just one word. The word is forgive. Forgiveness is the key ingredient not only in marriage but in any relationship involving people. You need to learn forgiveness. You need to grant it, and you need to receive it.

I have sought to categorize churches into three broad groups, namely the contemporary church, the charismatic church, and the conservative church.
You may be trying to live right, do right, and obey the Scriptures and there have not been any evident blessings or rewards. It may even result in grief and heartache.
When we are exhorted to grow in holiness, often there is a sense that we think holiness is unnatural and beyond us. The reason for this is that we often misunderstand what holiness means and we often do not desire holiness to the same extent that we desire love because of such a misconception.
This Sunday morning even as we have partaken of the Lord’s Supper in remembrance of him it is timely that we bring into focus the following question, “What is the one thing that God desires of us, with which God will be well pleased?
To watch is “to have the alertness of a guard at night.” A night watchman must stay awake and be hyper-vigilant. That is the type of watching Jesus spoke about because Jesus compares his coming with the coming of a thief in the night.
This Sunday morning, as we reflect a bit more deeply into life, we may be able to perceive that beyond all the myriad choices in life and the many decisions that we make daily, all these choices and decisions can fall neatly into two paths.
The character traits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control are to be taken as a whole.
The war horses of Israel are believed to have been stabled next to the King’s palace. Warriors rode out to and returned from the battle at the Horse Gate. And the king’s chariots will pass through the gates on their way back into the city in triumphant procession.
Peace is not about the absence of war, peace is more than a word, and peace is more than a feeling. It is possible to be in the calmest of situations, and yet there is no peace inside of us. In contrast, it is also possible to be in a situation of great chaos, yet we can still experience in our hearts and peace in our minds.
While every gate up to this point had to be rebuilt or repaired, there was no mention of any repairs being done to the Water Gate. Many scholars strongly believe that the Water Gate never suffered any damage during the Babylonian invasion. Later, we will understand why this would have been the case.
This weekend is Harvest Mission weekend. Harvest Mission has been a fundamental expression of consecration to God exhibited by TOP for many years.
We are called not only be hearers of His word but also doers of His Word. We turn it into a lifestyle. Maturing in the Lord is a life of wisdom, spiritual understanding, godly conduct in the manner worthy of the Lord, and in the knowledge of our inheritance.
On our trip around the ancient walls of Jerusalem, we visited the Sheep Gate which symbolises the person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. He fulfils the 4 elements that make up a functional Sheep as the gate, the High Priest, the temple and the sacrifice.
However, as much as we have the hope of eternal glory, all of us, both young and old, are presently living out our earthly lives that come with their struggles and burdens as well as their blessings and joy.
More than two thousand years ago, God’s redemptive plan changed the world. The power of sin and death was broken through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Death was defeated. Today is Palm Sunday. Jesus entered Jerusalem triumphantly on the first Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday is the last Sunday of Lent, and it also marked the beginning of the Holy Week.
In that vein, it is especially needful for each and every one of us to desire and prays for a personal encounter with God to revitalize our spiritual zeal. The title of the sermon today is, therefore “A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER”.
we move through another week of our lives and we look forward to a fresh new week it is helpful to remind ourselves that, beyond the routine activities of our daily lives, there is always the opportunity for spiritual growth, a gradual process of growing in Christian maturity.
God uses prayer as the means by which he accomplishes his plan. Prayer transforms our hearts and teaches us to be dependent on Him.
Scripture is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. Scripture has the transformative power to transform us. In the present trying times, Scripture can give us assurance and peace.
There’s no doubt COVID has caused a great many things. But COVID has also revealed many things – perhaps even more than it has caused. It has revealed that the root cause of this fear, anger, doubt, and insecurity is not “out there” in a virus; it’s “in here” in our hearts.
The church has been scattered in a sense by the two years of the pandemic. It is now time for us to gather back physically in an assembly of the people of God to worship him. We need to take our eyes off from focusing upon the pandemic and the virus to rebuilding the church to manifest the glory of God.
There is the perspective of us being a people of God, a family of God and a spiritual army of God. Today I would like to look into the perspective of the church as the spiritual army of God.
To seek God with all your heart is to have an intimate personal relationship with God, to increase your desire for God more than anything else in our lives and lastly to pursue God alone who can fill our emptiness in our heart.
There is no easy road to forgiveness. Forgiving another takes time and work. It begins with thanksgiving that we have been forgiven and acknowledging that we have been hurt and need to forgive the offender.
We do well to follow the example of our Lord Jesus in his emphasis on the gospel call, understanding at the same time that good works must naturally accompany the gospel call.
I pray that this is the year that we will see more fruit in terms of disciple-making in numerical growth and more spiritual growth among all of us.
I believe that it is appropriate that we look back at the year that is coming to an end and remember God in his faithfulness and make a personal choice to always remain faithful to God and to grow in this virtue of faithfulness.
faith, from one level of faith to another level of faith. The life of the apostle Peter gives us a glimpse in regard to this growth in faith.
When shifts in our plans occur, we complain and grumble. But if we are living in obedience, God makes it absolutely clear that his hand is behind all the detours.
nviting you and me, his church to RISE as a mighty army to proclaim His resurrecting word and the life-giving breath over the dead bones!
To whom he calls he will equip. For all of us, there is always a place to serve, a gift to be exercised, whether in the church or in the community, to bring the love of God into the lives of people, edify those in the church with the Word of God and bring the gospel into the community to bring liberation and salvation, to indeed be a “Relational Discipling Church”. Amen!
nd so he asks: “What if they don’t believe me?” (4:1). God then replies with a question: “What is that in your hand?”
In this short little exchange between God and Moses, we will find some principles on how God can turn the ordinary things and ordinary people into the extraordinary.
Believers, first and foremost, are worshippers. A life of worship is a life of faith, a life of holiness and a life of power.
aid to Cain, where sin is crouching outside your door, ready to devour you. For others, it’s a loved one whose health is deteriorating and there’s nothing you can do. For still others, it’s a family situation that seems to be getting worse instead of better.
We love our freedom. The desire to be free is one of the strongest desires in human nature. From Abraham Lincoln to Nelson Mandela, some have sought for freedom and some have fought hard for it. Others have made long speeches about freedom and sung inspiring songs about it.
We make our decision whether to trust or not to trust someone based on 4 components – their character, competence, care, and credibility.
Therefore, it is important for all of us to have a high view of truth, to know that truth upholds people and truth brings life.
If you are going to be what God wants you to be in your personal, spiritual walk with Him, it is going to take that quality of perseverance. To persevere means “to persist in any purpose or endeavour; to continue striving for one’s goals, despite difficulties. To stay on course.”
As a believer in Jesus Christ, how are we to respond to the present happenings and adverse circumstances of life? What is the answer to the problems that we are facing? How do we find assurance in the midst of such uncertain times?
eration and despair it is natural for people to look for meaning and find solace in religion and spirituality. In the midst of so many different and often contradictory beliefs, what makes Christianity different from all the other religions of the world?
However, at the same time, we need to widen our horizon and to see beyond the physical realm to be aware that in all things that happen in the physical realm, there is a concurrent active spiritual dimension and it is important that at times like this, we purposefully put on THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD.
Today is Pentecost, the day on which God fulfilled His promise of the gift of the Holy Spirit and the church was born. Today, we celebrate that God has not abandoned us, but continues to be with us by His Holy Spirit
However, if you look at life and find meaning in relationships, godliness, character formation and look at money in terms of stewardship as a blessing from God and to be used as a blessing to others then you are drawn to heavenly treasures.
If this is a movie we find two main actors – Peter and the lame man – with John, the supporting actor. The scene set before us is the gate of the temple called the Beautiful Gate. The director is the Holy Spirit.
We have just remembered our Lord in his death and resurrection! Such an occasion must necessarily always lead us to ponder and reflect on what it means to be a child of God and a disciple of Christ.
It is my intention today to draw you back to the primary essence of the Christian faith as it is to be lived out in this world. This primary essence is based on the fundamental attribute of God, that God is holy and we as a people of God, whether individually or as a church, must necessarily reflect the pure moral character of God in ethical conduct and behavior.
This morning let us look at how the disciples prepared themselves for the visitation of God and compare that with our desire and readiness to have God work in our lives and in our church.
Today is Easter, Resurrection Sunday! Praise be to God that we are able to gather together to worship God and to remember our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in his resurrection!
God has one boundless purpose that embraces all the things that He permits and ordains. Without denying free choice, we believe that God foresees the curious twisting of human will, and that He overrules all for His own purpose.
For Jesus, the garden of Gethsemane is the “deep breath before the plunge”. The decisive spiritual battle will be fought on Calvary, but it’s at Gethsemane where he waits on the edge of a battle he can’t escape. And it is at Gethsemane that Calvary is won.
As we look to God this Sunday morning I believe that many of you are seeking to find a certain sense of direction personally for this year 2021. Time has passed pretty fast and it seemed not long ago that we were living in the year 2020.
Today is the third day of Chinese New Year. For most of us who are Chinese Christians, we have had our reunion dinners and celebrated the New Year in a very different manner from past New Year celebrations.
As we enter this new year, 2021, we look forward to a great year, trusting that God will do a wonderful work in the midst of us as a people of God. It is proper that once again we refresh ourselves regarding the mission of the church, the purpose for which God has called all of us as a people of God.
In Moses’ encounter with God, God proclaimed his goodness through expressing his love and his holiness. Today, we turn to the Person of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The title of the sermon today is “God’s Will Be Done.”
During difficult times such as this period of an ongoing pandemic, it is needful for us seek God afresh and reflect upon our relationship with God in Christ.
In the mean time I would like to encourage all of you that in a time of crisis and uncertainty such as this, God is beckoning us to draw near to him, to seek not only comfort and deliverance from him but to also grow in our relational intimacy with him.
As we gather together to worship God, we all know that the health crisis that we are facing is still unresolved. This past week has seen a greater spread of the sickness caused by Covid-19 and there is a sense of uncertainty concerning what lies ahead for all of us.
What is your goal in life? The goal is very important because the phrase “finishing well” means different things to different people.

Our text today is taken from John 9:4 where Jesus said, “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.” It is such a simple statement and yet it sets out the motivations for all that Jesus said and did.
Today’s sermon addresses a very common question that is asked by Christians. “Why does God not answer my prayer?” When the question is phrased this way, then the word prayer most often means petitionary prayer, that is a prayer where we ask God for a specific request. It is a question that can only be properly understood if we understand how God responds to prayer.
To bring some light to the situation we are in, I wish to draw some relevant insights from the book of Romans. There are three insights based on the 3 “Es” of Eternity, Edification and Empowerment.
And much as it is a blessing to have close and good friends the best friendship we can nurture is with God. That is why songs such “What A Friend We Have In Jesus” and “I Am A Friend of God” are so effective in bringing us comfort in our time of need and lifting up our spirits when we need a boost in confidence.
This health crisis is evolving into a crisis of finances. For employers, it is a time when their struggle and their challenge is whether they can still keep their businesses afloat. For employees, it is a time of uncertainty. And a time when they wonder, whether they can still hold their jobs.
We are indeed going through difficult and uncertain times. Unprecedented times. And a lot of us may be wondering what the future holds. What the future few weeks will be like. What will happen and actually what will be the settlement for this virus crisis and the economic crisis that is coming on.
The word “Love” occurs 31 times in these 5 chapters. In the last words of Jesus, a large part of it is on love. That’s why Jesus said by this all men will know you are my disciples if you love one another. Today I want to give you the picture of love. That is the title of my message.
The primary means of spiritual growth is a prayerful study of the Word of God. For it is said that the stability of a Christian comes from his faith in the Word of God, his knowledge of that Word and his ability to use that Word in the practical decisions of life.
So this Chinese New Year season, however you see it, a large part would be about relationships. About bonding and restoration, about catching up with one another. That is why I believe that my message today speaks to all communities, because its is a message about relationships.
As we begin a new year, what does God have in store for our church, Tabernacle of Praise ? This may be a question that may be on your minds as you sit on your chairs during this Sunday service.
How do we define the spiritual from the secular? It is not the issue of the type of activity you are doing.
Have you ever stopped what you’re doing to think of THAT?
To think of how much time / energy / effort you have channeled into sharing Christ, or sharing about your faith?
I want to stress that while we are living in two worlds, there is only one destination. Like Joseph, let us not murmur and complain each time we feel life has not been fair towards us, but realise that WHATEVER circumstances we are in, we can glorify him with our decisions and actions. We can make a difference.
Have you maximised the use of the resources that God by his grace has entrusted to you as a good steward? Not on what you lack but on what you already have.
So today, think on what is precious to you. Money, looks, health, or relationships? What is precious to you?
Today’s sermon seeks to answer this question. Where can we draw strength when we meet the trials of life?
Which is why Grounding is important. Because you will ask questions (rather, have questions about your faith, about what you’re really believing in). If you don’t, others will ask you the questions. And that’s why we need to have Accountability. We need to stay uncomfortable.
A recent study In Christianity Today reports that nearly half of all self-professed Christian millennials believe it’s wrong to share their faith with close friends and family members of different beliefs.
Gluttony is a sin comparable to idolatry! Yet gluttony is a tolerated sin all over the world and a favourite sin of Malaysians in particular.
If you ask why God did not answered your prayer, you would have determined that God has not answered your prayer. But when you ask why God has yet to answer our prayer calls for a deeper faith. For trust and hope that indeed I have prayed and my God will answer.
Three words. A relational discipling church. It is in the area of relations that the church has failed.
Now, I said we are going to go ‘back to basics’. So, when we talk about loving God, we always think of serving Him in church, serve Him here, serve Him there – serve Him everywhere, right? Or we think of giving to God.
The Holy Spirit is much neglected member of Holy Trinity. Francis Chan wrote the book, “Forgotten God” but that should not be the case for us born again, Bible-believing, God-fearing, Christ-centred, Spirit-filled Pentecostal believers.
Paul was saying that the Corinthian church was planted by him but Apollos watered the seed that he planted. But the growth of the church spiritually or numerically was by God.
Evangelism is the call of edification to grow the church. But very often, we don’t really equip our people to evangelise! If we sit down and think, when was the last time we shared the Gospel to someone? Sometimes, it’s not that we don’t want to share, it is that we don’t really know how to do it!
In conclusion I want to make this statement that seeing the church as the Body of Christ with the right perception and the Person of Christ is the head of the Church will manifest the presence and the power of God, and that we will fulfil it’s purpose in building up the body and finally that the character and tone of the church is the peace of Christ.
But this morning I want us to look at what kind of a leader Jesus was. Everywhere he went, people followed after him. Why? Yes, he performed many miracles, he was there for the needy, he told stories and he spoke with authority, yet he came as a humble servant.
Evangelism is distinct from missions, Now, evangelism alone does not describe the wholeness, the breath and depth of missions. But! Evangelism cannot be separated from missions!
We have a supernatural and unique calling. Called to be a people of God. And he said live a life worthy of it. I want to live a life worthy of this calling and I want to urge all of us that we live a certain type of life that is worthy to be called the sons and daughters of God.
Jesus stayed on the cross, held there by love. Love for us. Enduring the shame and agony, he accomplished that which we so desperately needed. Forgiveness and cleansing, salvation and an eternal dwelling place.
God invites everyone, you and me, just as we are, but God expects us to put on new clothes to enter the kingdom. It may be a “Come as you Are” party, but once we arrive, we don’t “Stay As We Are.”
Today I would like to talk about worldliness vs our Christian walk. I want to touch about this key thing – our lifestyle. When we have been Christians for a period of time, we know we are different from our other non-believer companions.
I want to encourage us that spiritual renewal will come when we desire holiness. Love of Christ is the driving force for holiness.
That will be the strength of TOP because what God put in my heart is what I can impart. We will move on the word, the community, prayer and we will grow in relationships.
Are you facing Jerichos in your life? There is no victory without battles but the battle belongs to the Lord, who fights on our behalf.
As we end 2018 and enter 2019, let us remember we are God’s work in progress, not perfect but working towards being more like Jesus. To lay hold of God’s high calling in our lives.
I am sharing this because some of you will leave Penang. Whether to study or to work it doesn’t matter. God will put you in a place where you can be a blessing to his kingdom. But to do that, you need to be integrated into a local church.
Very very important that if you are grounded and your faith is founded on Jesus Christ you will always stand on a rock that will stand forever. We are easily swayed and look to men.
Thirst is a powerful drive! Physical thirst cannot match he powerful thirst of the soul! We may have many different sources to “drink” from when we are thirsty but there is only one that satisfies the soul, the living waters of Jesus!
When we accepted the Lord, Jesus says come, come to follow me. You have to look at it for this perspective. That hovering over the gospel call is that Jesus is calling. Calling for them to become a follower of Jesus Christ. A disciple of Jesus. A call to discipleship.
Life is full of decisions and we all want and need guidance. In fact, God’s guidance is especially important to us since we live in a fallen world so the fact that God LEADS and GUIDES His people is good news for us.
We are saved by the grace of God but it needs to be received and consciously accepted by you. That’s why it’s a grace from the Holy Spirit that needs to be received by faith. That grace means undeserved or unmerited favour.
This morning, I want to talk about something that is close to my heart. Young people. We often hear that they are the next generation of the church. But I believe they are the Now Generation!
The first question I want to ask is why are we here as a church? It expresses the purpose of our existence. It is here the answer is obtained.
Let’s practice loving holiness. I don’t want you to pursue holiness and come not smiling because you are now holy. We are already saved by grace. Let’s love. A lovingly holy person will see people where they are while a legalistic holy person will do likewise but setting a proficiency standard, that’s the law.
Transformation does not happen overnight. “Being transformed,” in the present tense indicates that this is a change in progress. It could be translated like this: “We are constantly being transformed.” It is not a one-time deal.
A real encounter with God is personal. You will experience God as a person. You will experience him in a personal sense and this is the task of the whole Bible.
It is not just mere words. The words we say to people “Jesus loves you” they can only see when we show them love. The good works must follow the Gospel call. They cannot be separated.
Yes, Jesus seeks to transform and redeem us. That doesn’t mean God wants us to become different people, it means that God wants us to be who we are in service of the kingdom in those ways that we uniquely can.
If you are not able to keep the fire and the love for God going then slowly the coldness of complacency will set in our lives. It will lead to spiritual stagnancy and eventually spiritual death.
Every where we look we find people who have been exposed to the Bible and its teachings, but their lives have not been changed by it. Many have begun well in the Christian life but for one reason or another they have failed to mature in the faith as their growth was stunted.

Here you can see Paul suffered and love the church. One test is your love for Christ will without fail correspondence with your love for the church. The extent you love Jesus correspond with your love for the body.
When you can give out of your lack, you will surely be able to give out of your abundance.
When he work we recognise what he is doing. Then we anticipate his miracles and provision. His increasing anointing in your life and his favour. Not by your own work but by him.
We can learn from this man Nehemiah. He had nothing in his heart but his love for God and his desire to please God.
