Our Trust is in the Lord

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.

Give Thanks

Today is the last day of the year. For some, it can be a day of regrets when they choose to remember what could have been. For others, it can be a day of rejoicing when they choose to remember their achievements.

Glory to God in the Highest

As we celebrate Christmas, let’s reflect on the birth of Jesus and the significance of being children of God. The angelic visitation to the shepherds and other encounters with God’s glory illustrate how His glory envelops His children. This Christmas, may we find hope and peace in the glory of God.

Exalting Jesus

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.

Guilt and Forgiveness

One of the key causes of disharmony in our soul is a guilty conscience. We need to acknowledge that in spite of our own good intentions, we will still do things that are wrong and a sense of guilt comes upon us.

Radical Discipleship

Love One Another!

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.

Light in the Darkness

Today we shall be using this passage as a launching pad to look into the metaphor of light and darkness in the Bible.

Salt and Light

We all begin the same way, coming to know Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour in a personal manner as individuals. Along the way, we gradually integrate into a local church and get involved in the ministry of the church in some capacity.

Doing the Will of God

Run To Win

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.

Acceptable Worship

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.  

The Power of Your Words

Our words matter. Simple words, expressed in love, change lives. Ordinary words, chosen with wisdom and spoken with conviction, can change the world. May we always recognise the extraordinary power we carry.

Cause and Effect

We are fearfully and wonderfully made by God and blessed beyond description. God has brought us from darkness into the marvellous light. Remember when we are sick, God healed us. When we are in need, God provides for us. Remember when we fall into temptation, God delivers us.

Relational Giving

On this Harvest Mission Sunday, we will spend some time looking into the grace of giving once again.

Increase Your Capacity

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.

Jesus as the True Vine

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.

The Danger of Drifting

Through the years it is a joy to see familiar faces in church. At the same time, it is very sad to find that there are those who are no longer with us for a number of reasons. But one of the saddest stories to hear is of believers who have just left the church altogether or may not even be worshipping God anymore.

Magnanimous Fatherhood

I wish to begin by stating that it is not easy to be a father in this generation. I speak to fathers who struggle with wayward children, to fathers who have obedient children who have dreams and aspirations that you personally as a father find difficult to help them in the pursuit of their dreams and hence feel a sense of inadequacy and to fathers who desire to grow in fatherhood and finally to fathers who have made wrong choices in life and who aspire to turn on a new leaf and be good fathers.

Spiritual Character

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?

There’s A Miracle Within Your Problem

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”?

Humble Yourself Before the Lord and He Will Lift You Up

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 Resurrection

Today marks arguably the most important day in the Christian calendar. It is the day we all come together to commemorate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the day he was raised from the dead.

Forsaken For Our Sake

Resurrection Sunday has always generated much excitement and rightly so, but it should not be at the expense of Good Friday. Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday come as a package deal. Without Good Friday there would be no Resurrection Sunday. Without Resurrection Sunday, there would be nothing good about Good Friday and the horrific death of Jesus would be a senseless atrocity.  

Our Hope in the Lord is Not in Vain

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.

There Must Be More Than This

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.

I Have Kept the Faith

In today’s sermon, I wish to lead us to reflect upon eternity and its relation to our present life.

Spiritual Impartation

As we go through life, we meet people confronted with different circumstances of life who will have diverse needs. God constantly empowers us to grow in having a heart for people, to show care and concern and to lend a helping hand to people in need.

Keep Watch

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.

“SHALOM” IN GOD

This Sunday morning, I wish to look into true blessedness, that sense of shalom, the wholesomeness of being, encompassing peace and harmony.

A God of Compassion

What would be your answer if you were asked, “How are you feeling?” This is usually a question about a person’s physical health but it is equally valid for us to ask about a person’s emotional state of being.

Finding Purpose through God’s Word

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.

A God of Intimacy

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.

A Relational Community

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year and a Sunday. There is therefore a dual significance to this day. Being a Sunday brings to focus the worship of God while the first day of Chinese New Year emphasises the tradition of festivity and celebration accorded to the New Year among the Chinese.

Overcoming Temptation

We often begin the year with good intentions but our good resolutions seldom last. We start off well, but sad to say, we get distracted and derailed and some of us are even destroyed along the way because when faced with temptation…we yield!

Community Evangelism

Community evangelism is an area of evangelism that requires a concerted team effort on the part of the church. 

God Still Speaks Today

The Bible says, seek and you shall find, ask and it shall be given, knock and the door will be open. If we want all the goodness of God, we need to do our part. Jesus says, come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. We must do our part.

Forgiven Forgivers

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.

Give Us This Day

One good thing that came out of the uncertain season was that it drove the church onto its needs. We came to the highest authority to plead the case for the salvation of our nation. It is easy to pay lip service with platitudes like “we have to trust God” but it is in prayer that we show our true dependence on God.

Hallowed be Your Name

It is the name of Jesus Christ that is the secret of success in the Christian life and in the ministry of the Christian church. But we have to be careful not to use the name of Jesus as some magic word like “Open Sesame” or “abracadabra”.

The Authentic Church

I have sought to categorize churches into three broad groups, namely the contemporary church, the charismatic church, and the conservative church.

The Writing is on the Wall

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.

Desiring Loving Holiness

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.

A Life of Obedience

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?

Are You Ready?

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. 

The Foundation of the Word of God

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.

A Gentle Spirit

The character traits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control are to be taken as a whole.

We Are At War

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.

The Peace of God

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.   

Mastered by the Word

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.

A Pure Heart

Then shall we see God! What does it actually mean? In this present world, it will refer to our subjective experience of the presence of God in our lives. 

Sacrificial Giving

This weekend is Harvest Mission weekend. Harvest Mission has been a fundamental expression of consecration to God exhibited by TOP for many years. 

Throw Out the Trash

My friend, every genuine child of God wants to get up out of the dirt. That is the reason we are given a desire to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Him — that we may get up out of the mire of life. We have been set free to “fight the good fight” (2 Tim 4:7) and to “run with endurance the race that is set before us” (Heb 12:1).

Father's Day

The Relational Father

When we think of our fathers we all have different emotions and feelings because we have all had different experiences and perceptions of our relationship with our fathers. 

Through the Valley Dark and Deep

If you are going through a dark, scary valley today, remember that you are not alone. Rest in the promise of our Good Shepherd who will guide us through and around those dangerous spots in the valley so that we make it out safely on the other side. He will carry you when you are too weak to walk, and restore your soul when you are too tired to move forward.

Be Filled with the Holy Spirit

Today is Pentecost Sunday according to the Jewish calendar. As we worship the Lord today as an assembly of believers, it is just timely, in these adverse times that we are experiencing now, we look back at the beginnings of the church to draw insights to encourage and exhort us as a church.  

Maturity in the Lord

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.

A Transforming Alliance

Brothers and sisters, do you desire a closer, more intimate walk with God? You will find him at the Old Gate. There, you will receive a new identity and begin your walk with God. As you surrender to God, you will receive the Holy Spirit, an ally who will accompany and lead you through the rest of the sanctifying journey God has prepared for all of his children.

Prayer

Providential Prayer

This intrinsic connection between righteousness and prayer is based on the holiness of God, that the presence and power of God are manifest in holiness. 

Mother's Day

Women of Worth

Jesus valued their fellowship, prayers, service, financial support, testimony and witness. He honoured women, taught women, and ministered to women in thoughtful ways. As a result, women responded warmly to Jesus’s ministry. 

Resurrection Sunday

Christ is Risen!

Today is Easter Sunday, a special day of the year because this is the day Christians commemorate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Image of God

The Image of God

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.

Evangelism

Let’s Go Fishing!

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. 

Good Friday

Like Sheep Gone Astray

On this Good Friday I would like us to look at a familiar passage from First Peter that sums up in two short verses both the horror and the wonder of Christ’s Passion.

Palm Sunday

Jesus’ Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem

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. 

A Personal Relational Encounter

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”.

Gateway to Life: The Sheep Gate

This morning we are continuing our journey through the book of Nehemiah. Two weeks ago we looked at Nehemiah Chapter 1 where we learned some great lessons on how to pray like Nehemiah.

Christian Maturity

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. 

prayer

Pray Like Nehemiah

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

The Transformative Power of Scripture

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.

A Time to Build

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. 

Victory in Christ

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.

Seek the Lord with all your Heart

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. 

Forgiveness

Embracing & Extending Forgiveness

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.  

Goodness of God

Taste & See that God is Good

The word “good” is a generic term to describe what is excellent in quality, and/or worthy of approval – from good food to good person, good weather, good circumstances

Missions Giving

Devotional Giving

been able to maintain our strong tradition of being a giving church, expressing what I would term as devotional giving.

serving and growing

Serving & Growing Together

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.

Incarnation, Christmas

The Incarnation

from our sins and experiencing the peace with God, the peace of God and being at peace with men.

Faith Tested

A Tested Deep-Rooted Faith

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.

The Worship of God in Reverence and Awe

It is the Christian’s worship of God in Christ that his life and his lifestyle is defined. The title of the sermon today is “THE WORSHIP OF GOD IN REVERENCE AND AWE”.

Living in the In-Between

which means “visit” or “coming.” Christmas is coming and there is a sense of anticipation and expectancy.

Divine Detours

Divine Detours

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.

Who is Jesus?

Who Do You Say I Am?

ay, His mission stands completed and He commands us to tell the world about Him. This Jesus, who is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. 

Can These Bones Live?

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! 

Here Am I, Send Me!

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!

Faith, Hope and Love

Faith, Hope and Love

n this special day, it is appropriate that we turn our eyes towards our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As we look back to our past 43 years and thank God for his goodness and faithfulness, at the same time we are called to look forward to the future. 

Worship

A Life of Worship

Believers, first and foremost, are worshippers. A life of worship is a life of faith, a life of holiness and a life of power.

The Church: A Spiritual House

the mission of the church as expressed in Exaltation, Edification, and Evangelism, and appreciating the full significance of the church being a spiritual house, believers leading spiritual lives, offering spiritual sacrifices, and enjoying spiritual blessings, the first step to take in maintaining and growing in such spiritual fervor and enthusiasm is the act of CONSECRATION.

Free to Serve

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. 

God is our Heavenly Father

God, Our Heavenly Father

As we go through trying times such as this, it is needful to get our bearings right and not to lose our focus on God and lose our spiritual fervor.

Trusting God

Trust – The Glue of Life

We make our decision whether to trust or not to trust someone based on 4 components – their character, competence, care, and credibility.

Reflecting the Glory of God

In the midst of the difficult circumstances of present times, it is needful for all of us as a people of God to keep in mind the priority of our Christian lives and the purpose for which God called us into his kingdom.

A Christ-Centred Life

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?  

Worship as David Did

We are all very familiar with the Tabernacle of Moses and the spectacular Temple of Solomon but many of us may not know that King David set up a tabernacle known as the tabernacle of David. 

Fatherhood – A Duty of Love

Today is Father’s Day!

A special Special because it allows us to remember fathers in our midst. When we think of our fathers we all have different emotions and feelings.

His Grace is Sufficient

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? 

The Armour of God

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. 

Choosing Devotion to God

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. 

Reaching One, Reaching Many

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.

A Life of Sacrifice

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.

Hearing and Doing the Will of God

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.

A God of Suddenlies

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.

He Has Risen

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!

The Blood of the Lamb

Good Friday is closely linked to the Passover, a very important Jewish annual springtime festival that falls on the 14th of Nisan in the Hebrew calendar. 

Jesus Enters Jerusalem

Today is Palm Sunday on the Christian calendar, the day we commemorate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. It begins the events leading up to the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Trial of the King

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.

In the Garden with Christ

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. 

The Imitation of Christ

As we look to God this Sunday morning I believe that, for many of us, there are needs and burdens that trouble our hearts. Even as we bring these needs and burdens in prayer to God, it is more important that we seek to draw closer to God in relational intimacy.

Humility and Contentment

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.

The Blessing of a Fu-filled Life

Have you wondered what it means when we say, “I’m blessed”? It is usually in relation to good fortune, a desired outcome, positive circumstances, comfort, and the absence of problems. The common understanding of what it means to be blessed by God is that He gives us good things.

The Centrality of God in Christ

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.

Chinese or Christian?

Have you ever been asked: Now that you are a Christian do you celebrate CNY? Being a Christian doesn’t mean I cease to be a Chinese..

Seeking Jesus

When Jesus was born 2000 years ago, God wanted people to find Him! In Luke chapter 2, the Bible tells us the story about some shepherds… they were watching their sheep at night, and God sent an angel to tell them that Jesus has been born… and they would find Him wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.

The Peace of Christ

This past week has been a difficult week for many of us because of the strain and stress of this ongoing pandemic. Day after day, we hear news of rising numbers of cases, of reminders to stay home and stay safe, of the tightening of restrictions and so on and so forth.

The Mission of the Church

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.

Jesus – The Greatest Gift of God

As we celebrate Christmas in the midst of a pandemic, there is much to thank God for. Whether you are a Christian or not, you will probably view Christmas and understand it as a season of giving. Christmas is largely seen as a season of gifts, of the giving and receiving of gifts.

God’s Will Be Done

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.”

The Goodness of God

WE are thankful to God that we can once again gather together as a people of God to worship him. As we reach the end of this unprecedented year, we need to continue to seek the Lord, reflect upon his person and grow in our knowledge of him.

One With Us

This is the time of the year when we celebrate the birth of our Saviour in Bethlehem. If someone were to ask you to tell them the Christmas Story where would you start?

Devotion to God

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.

The Power of Thankfulness

2020 has been a roller coaster year. Our world has been turned upside-down and inside out. As we move towards the Christmas season some of you might be feeling that there is nothing much to look forward to or be grateful for. As pastor it is my responsibility especially in these dark times to remind you of THE POWER OF THANKFULNESS.

Walking with God

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.

How To Live Anxiety-Free

We live in an age of anxiety. Anxieties are normal in a fallen world. How many of us can honestly say we live care-free lives? Some of us have more or greater anxieties than others, but we all have them and more than ever before.

Depend On God

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.

Finishing Well

What is your goal in life? The goal is very important because the phrase “finishing well” means different things to different people.

While It Is Day

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.

Renewing You Mind

The sermon today is titled renewing your mind. I have chosen to attend to an understanding of the importance of the mind because when we go through difficult times the spiritual battlefield is our minds.

Keep On Digging!

Do you know what was remarkable about his story in the Bible? Well, he dug wells, he opened wells that had been sealed by the Philistines, and he dug wells and gave names to the wells. He seems obsessed with wells and kept on digging! And so the title of my message today is: “Keep On Digging!”

A Relational Faith

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.

Footprints in the Sand

The sermon today has come about after much reflection pertaining to life. In my last sermon I touched on the fact that difficulties in life per se may not be the true cause of suffering, rather it is when you go through difficulties all by yourself, alone, that enhances and magnifies the suffering.

More Than Conquerors

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.

Church Without Walls
