The Sequel Series: Genesis Preacher: James Tang Sunday Worship Service Date: 9th August 2026 Passage: Genesis 20:1-18 ------------------- We often expect spiritual growth to be a straight upward line, but Abraham’s repeated mistakes in Genesis 20 show us that faith is actually lived out in cycles and seasons.

Identity Precedes Mission Series: Genesis Preacher: Joe Tang Date: 12th July 2026 Passage: Genesis 17:1-14

Series: The Book of Genesis Preacher: Ps. Gabriel Wong Date: July 5, 2026 Passage: Genesis 16 There is something satisfying about a good DIY project. But while a "do-it-yourself" mindset is great for fixing things around the house, it leads to trouble when we apply it to the promises of God. In Genesis 16, Abram and Sarai are exhausted from waiting for God’s promised child. Like many of...

Series: The Book of Genesis Preacher: Ps. Gabriel Wong Date: 28th June, 2026 Passage: Genesis 15 As Christians, we readily confess that we trust God, yet we still wrestle with the “what abouts” of life—our health, our jobs, and our futures. There is often a gap between our faith in God’s promises and the anxiety we feel when facing difficult circumstances. In Genesis 15, we see that Abram, the fat...

Series: The Book of Genesis Preacher: Ps. James Tang Date: 21st June, 2026 Passage: Genesis 13-14 Sermon Summary: Though Abram chose to worship God as He received God’s promise to him (Gen. 12:7), his story in Genesis 12 ends disappointingly. Not only does he ask his wife Sarai to lie to Pharaoh by telling him she’s his sister, not his wife (v.11-13), he also effectively sells her into Pharaoh’s h...

Series: The Book of Genesis Preacher: Ps. James Tang Date: 31st May, 2026 Passage: Genesis 8-9 Sermon Summary: Genesis 6 tells us that every intention of the thoughts of man’s heart was only evil continually, so much so that the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him to His heart. (v.5) Genesis 7 shows us the de-creation as God blotted out every living thing that was...

Series: The Book of Genesis Preacher: Ps. James Tang Date: 24th May, 2026 Passage: Genesis 6-7 Sermon Summary: While Genesis 3 describes the line of Cain, Genesis 4 devotes itself to the line of Seth. Seth’s line includes Enoch who walked with God and was not, because he was taken by God. (v.23) Enoch fathered Methuselah, who is widely believed to be the oldest person in the Bible, and Methuselah...

Reading Genesis 5 can feel a bit like reading a math textbook, just a long list of names, ages, and numbers. It’s tempting to skip it, but we believe that there’s value in all of Scripture. God speaks to us in this genealogy. Adam and Eve rebelled in Genesis 3, and sin spread quickly. By chapter 4, not only does Cain murder his brother, but several generations later, Lamech even boasts about it. G...

Series: The Book of Genesis Preacher: Ps. Gabriel Wong Date: May 10, 2026 Passage: Genesis 4 In Genesis 4, we see how quickly the rebellion of the Garden spirals out of control. Genesis 4 is "Genesis 3+1"—the fallen falling further. The tragedy begins at the very first worship service. Abel gives God his first and best, but Cain merely offers his leftovers. God's rejection of Cain&#3...

James Tang Date: 26th April, 2026 Passage: Genesis 2 Sermon Summary: As God finishes His work of creation, He gives to mankind a blueprint for perfect and good living.

Series: The Book of Genesis Preacher: Ps. James Tang Date: 19th April, 2026 Passage: Genesis 2:1-3 Sermon Summary: On the seventh day of creation, God finished all the work He had done.  He finished, and rested—then He blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because of His rest .  This idea of rest is central to the Sabbath: in Exodus 16 (its first mention), Moses tells the people that the Sabba...
