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.

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.

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.  

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.

“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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Winners Don’t Quit

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.”

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.

From Barrenness to Fruitfulness

Barrenness is a major theme in the Bible and most often used in reference to a woman who is unable to produce children. But the Bible also refers to the wilderness, being in a desolate place, desert, famine where the land is not producing food, and exile as barrenness.

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? 

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.

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.

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. 

Finding Strength in God

Some people believe that human beings should never question the ways of God. They may even feel that it borders on sin to ask God, “Why?”

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.

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.

The Love of a Father

Today is Father’s Day, a special day when we want to remember our fathers and celebrate fatherhood as a gift of God. Even as we remember our earthly fathers we need to acknowledge that the idea of fatherhood is drawn at its source from our perception of God as our heavenly Father.

A Faith of Devotion

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.

The Strengthening Grace of God

Today the title of this sermon is ‘The Strengthening Grace of God’ and I would like to draw this insight of the strengthening grace of God from the epistle to the Corinthians, the second epistle to the Corinthians in 2 Corinthians 12: 9, 10. 

Faith for the Journey

Today is the 5th day of the implementation of the Movement Control Order as our nation work through the challenges posed by COVID-19. As we go through these stormy uncharted waters, we may wonder where God is in the midst of it. The truth is that God isn’t far away, and it is in times like this that he is inviting us into a closer and deeper relationship with him. Let’s not allow social distancing to turn into spiritual distancing.

Beauty For Ashes

The Truth that shines through every bit of our grief, and pain, and sin, is this, Christ came to save us and set us free. Christ came to redeem. Christ came to bring hope. Christ came to bring beauty from ashes.

Soaring like an Eagle

There are so much work to do and I told God I cannot be more disabled. My legs getting worst and I was thinking how God can get more Christians to go in. What are we doing for this community?

Living in Two Worlds

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.

The Preciousness of Faith

So today, think on what is precious to you. Money, looks, health, or relationships? What is precious to you?

Our Living Hope

Today’s sermon seeks to answer this question. Where can we draw strength when we meet the trials of life?

The Race of Faith

Today I want to go into my message entitled ‘The Race of Faith’. If you still remember the message I preached last week, ‘Spirituality In Christ’, I am following up from there, and I want you to try to re-collect a little on what I shared previously. This sermon today, and if you look at my past sermons, you will see that I do have a direction, that I do have something in my heart that I want to impart to all of you.

Search for Meaning

Okay today, I am going to work on this message entitled ‘Search for Meaning’, and this is one where you have to think and reflect a little bit on what I am saying. It is a message that will take some time to sink in, what I am working on today is a sermon that is in my heart.

By the Rivers of Babylon

What has the exile got to do with us? Well, some of us may be in a situation where you are not where you want to be or ever thought you would be. Perhaps you are dealing with chronic health issues, you have lost your investments or a job transfer has taken you away from family and friends. Your spouse of many years has died or your marriage, which began with so much promise, has breathed its last breath.

Pain

Why does pain happen? Have you ever wondered how nice it would be if there was no hurt, no suffering and no PAIN in this world? I am sure you have, at one juncture or another. Why do certain people have no food to eat? Why do some people have to beg on the streets?

Another In The Fire

God doesn’t promise that there won’t be floods or fires. But He does promise that the overwhelming floods of your struggle will not wash you away. They will threaten to drown you, but they will not wash you away.

It’s Okay to Ask Why

The question arose. Why? When things go terribly wrong in our lives, when tragedy strikes, when we go through suffering, we sometimes ask this question don’t we? Why? Sometimes, we ask our Pastors, or our Care Group leaders, or another Christian and often, we ask God this question. Why?

Who Is Jesus?

When we call Jesus Lord, we don’t choose what we want to obey. He is Lord. Someone put it very well. When you ask who is Jesus, is he Lord and God and step over and call him my lord and God. If you call him our Savior we have to call him Lord.
