Even as we are ambitious in our careers, our studies, and our relationships, often our spiritual life gets the leftovers.

Our culture conditioned us to look only to the future for things that are bigger and better. The Bible, however, teaches us to look back. By remembering how God helped us in the past, our hearts will be infused with gratitude and hope for the future. Thus far the Lord has helped us. He was faithful in the past. He will continue to be faithful in th…

The world has become increasingly divided. That division can sometimes make its way into the church. How can we truly live as a united community while celebrating the diversity of views and opinions that we might have, especially if those opinions are opposed to one another? We look to the final chapters of the book of Romans, and seek insight from…

Our default setting is often to live by inner rules of behaviour, rather than the freeing life in Christ. Romans reminds us of who we are in Christ, and how our righteous standing before God compels our life in …

What do you imagine when you think about the afterlife? That’s a huge question that could be answered a plethora of different ways. Even amongst Christians, the idea of what happens after we die is met with confusion. But what we think about our future is very important for our present. Today, we will look into scripture to understand what happens …

The story of Barabbas is often overlooked because it is such a short story. Despite its brevity, Barabbas’s story holds deeper layers that go beyond being known solely as the one the crowds chose instead of Jesus. In this sermon, we embark on a journey to explore the untold aspects of Barabbas’s life, revealing surprising parallels that mirror our …

Our negative assumptions about our family members prevent us from pursuing reconciliation, resulting in only a “disguised harmony” or even conflicts in our family. Learning from the reconciliation of Esau and Jacob, we should put our trust not in our own assumptions but in God’s power to change hearts, and practice “forgetful forgiveness”, because …

Lotus seeds represent the blessings of bringing forth offspring one after another. This applies to our spiritual community as we think about how to serve the community better. Today, we study how Barnabas multiplies spiritual leaders (Paul and John Mark) and how we, both as individuals and as a church, should do the same thing.…
