Welcome to the 5 Points Church Planting Podcast where three church planters hope to make at least one good point. In each 30-minute episode (give or take), our goal is to discuss the ins and outs of church planting from a Reformed (as well as Presbyterian - we are PCA ministers after all) perspective. We also want to hear from some insightful voices concerning church multiplication. Our desire for this podcast is to be helpful, encouraging, stimulating and above all else glorifying to God. M ...

How comforting to know that God’s promises to us are secure through Jesus. Manhon preached from Romans 4:13–25 last week, reminding us that those who place our faith in Jesus can freely receive God’s promise of eternal life, despite our sinful nature. Through Jesus, we are forgiven & clothed with righteousness — and this was all achieved through Je…

How are we saved by God? The answer lies in faith in Christ alone—trusting in His sacrifice and His promises, and turning to Him in repentance, not relying on our works or rituals. This past week, we explored Romans 4:1-12 and learned about saving faith through the example of Abraham. He wasn’t saved by his works but by his faith, showing us that f…

How can we be made right with God? This is a question that many religions try to answer. Perhaps you might sense that there is brokenness & wrongness in the human race. How is that to be fixed? How can human beings be made right with our perfect Creator? Our passage last week, Romans 3:21–31, shows us how. Through the sermon, we were reminded of th…

At our core, we are sinners—fallen and unable to meet Go…

In the sermon on Romans 3:1–8, we learnt a new term — ‘diatribes’! Chris took us through Paul’s series of questions and answers (diatribes) that he used to address questions that might arise in response to his teaching about the gospel.Paul’s instruction helped us ponder as a church: Do we value God’s Word as much as Paul did? Do we understand & be…

Is this you? Do you have the outward signs of a believer but lack the inner faith?On Sunday, we were confronted with this piercing question by Kyle as he preached through Romans 2:25-29. We were convicted of the truth in this passage which teaches that no amount of knowledge, shame or guilt can change a sinner's heart. Only God's spirit can. As we …

“Talk is cheap” — the title of Andy’s sermon this week was apt for the passage: Romans 2:17–24. Like the religious elites that Paul was addressing, we may puff ourselves up by saying all the right things that Christians ”should say” and feeling very secure in our faith as a result. But do we actually live out our words in our actions? Paul reminds …

Today, Massimo, one of our covenant partners, delivered a powerful sermon from Romans 2:12-16. He focused on three key points: no exemption, no excuse, no escape.

We were back together this Sunday to take a closer look at Romans 2:1-11 with our elder, Man Hon. In the passage, Paul rebuked those who judge others while they themselves are still sinners. We were reminded that only God is the one true judge for His judgement is always accurate and just, while human judgement is flawed with sin and biasness. Whil…

On Sunday, Andy took us through the remainder of Romans 1, covering verses 18–32. We learnt how God, and His character, is knowable to everyone through the natural world, and therefore there is no excuse for the sinful ways that we live, in denial of truth. It was helpful to understand how “exchanging the truth about God for a lie” (v25) plays out …

Today we gathered in worship as a church, and continued our study of the first chapter of Romans. In verses 5 - 7, we see how the call to be apostolic is for every Christian - that is, we are all sent out with the message of the gospel. We are called to an apostolic purpose of the obedience of faith that reaches all nations. As believers, despite b…

There is pain and fallenness in our world, and God does not call us to pretend like all is well. We all have tears for all that have gone wrong, for all the pain that we and the world go through. We all long for a home that is free of these. The book of Daniel is essentially a reminder that God is still in control even when his people are still in …

In Daniel 10-12, we were reminded to stand firm through the storms of history, holding fast to the promise of resurrection to come. These chapters show us that despite the tumult and trials we face, there is a greater plan at work, one that ends in victory and eternal life. How deeply reassuring this truth is.May we be encouraged that our hope is r…

What would God’s Kingdom look like if God answered ‘yes’ to all your prayers? Last Sunday we were encouraged to pray like Daniel prayed in Daniel 9. Faced with civil & political unrest, Daniel pursued truth by reading God’s Word. He then prayed repentance, knowing from the Scriptures that God’s people were in exile due to disobedience. God swiftly …

In our lives, we will experience chaos and calamity. We will face opposition and strife. Daniel’s vision in Daniel 8 made this abundantly clear. It was a vision of strife and overpowering — which are accurate of this broken world, in Daniel’s time as in ours.But Daniel’s vision and its interpretation show that God will overcome this chaos and calam…

Today, we were encouraged to remain steadfast and faithful in the midst of adversity. We looked at Daniel in chapter 6, and saw how he remained faithful to God, whether he was in the tranquility of his room or in a lion’s den. Why? Because he believe in a living God who reigns over all kings and nations, and who is able to save. Our God is our Rock…

In our first sermon, Kyle Essary, one of our elders, preached from Daniel 1 which we explored the clash of cultures, the temptation to compromise, and the peaceful resistance Daniel and his companions experienced.
