We continue our study on the Book of Lamentations as P. Ed shares about how God sees sin. Although God hates sin, it does not cloud His compassion for us. God hates sin but loves the sinner, and His steadfast love and mercies are always here for us. If you are suffering because of your own sin, or because of someone else’s sin, there is great hope. God is the deliverer. He never fails.

Here P. Ed shares on sin and its consequences. God hates sin. God loves us. When we choose to sin, we are working against Him and there are consequences. Our sins not only hurt us personally but others too.

Merry Christmas, ICA! Today we hear from P. Ed sharing about a short song sung by the whole angelic choir as the good news of Christ’s birth was announced to the shepherds. We celebrate the birth of our saviour, and the reality that we are no longer alienated from God, but we can now be in relationship with him through what Christ has done. 

What are some of the songs of Christmas in the Bible? The songs of Mary, Elizabeth, and the Angels clearly present the good news of Jesus Christ. God has also put a song of praise in our hearts this Christmas!

Paul lands his letter in a position of joy and thanksgiving, sharing how he has learned the secret of facing all situations - through the strength of Christ. In every area where we are facing lack, the Lord abundantly supplies. As we surrender whatever anxieties we have and set our minds on Christ, we can find joy in all circumstances. 

Despite being in prison, Paul is determined to press on towards the goal of knowing Christ more intimately and becoming more like him. We can find joy and fulfilment not in our worldly success but in what lies ahead - the hope of transformation, our citizenship in heaven and the promise of Christ’s return. Check out this message as P. Ed shares how we can find joy in letting go of things that have...

The “Christ Hymn” is core to this letter and sums up in a nutshell what the gospel is, the very thing Paul finds joy in and is willing to die for. This passage depicts the humility of Jesus, His sacrifice, and ultimately His exaltation. The exaltation of Christ as Lord signifies His sovereignty and fulfilment of God’s plan for redemption, which is a source of great joy for all those who place thei...

Paul did not see his challenging circumstances as suffering but rather as an opportunity for the Gospel to advance. His focus on Christ and the proclamation of the Gospel served as a constant source of joy and purpose for him. He longed to see Christ magnified through his life, whether in life or death. From Paul’s example, we learn how to find joy in times of afflictions and see our setbacks as d...

Tommy Ip concludes our Above the Clouds series with a message that delves into the symbolism of clouds representing the irretrievability of confessed sins. Through this imagery, we confront the reality of our wrongdoing and the weight of guilt that can linger in our lives. Listen as we explore how God's mercy and grace can transform our lives, lifting the clouds of guilt and bringing us into a pla...

In this message, Tim Yung shares about the symbolism of clouds as a place where God conceals Himself while conveying His glory. Through the imagery of clouds, we unravel the profound mystery of God's presence and His desire to reveal Himself to humanity. Join us as we explore the ways in which God chooses to reveal Himself through the clouds and how we can position ourselves to experience His glor...

We're getting ever closer to our 50th Anniversary celebrations. This last weekend before the big day, we welcome Kenneth Chow to share the Word with a message about the significance of clouds as Christ's seat of authority. This message invites us to reflect on the majesty and glory of our saviour, whose presence is likened to the clouds, and how we can align our lives with His purposes.

Throughout Exodus, clouds play a significant role in illustrating the tangible manifestation of God's glory, guidance, and protection. As we explore the profound symbolism of clouds in Exodus, we will delve into the essential truth that God's presence is real and transformative. In this sermon, LH Koh shares how clouds symbolise God's presence in our lives.

Darcy and Leanne McAllister close our Sent series by preaching on the story of the widow from Mark 12. Despite giving very little compared to others, the widow's remarkable act catches Jesus' attention; demonstrating deep sacrifice and trust as she offers her entire life. Her example teaches us that there are profound rewards when we trust Him and give ourselves away!

In John 4, Jesus models our mission by engaging with a Samaritan woman at a well. He ministers in the community, initiates dialogue, breaks cultural biases, operates in the Spirit without judgment, and reveals His identity. This approach opens doors for the community to know Him. Reflect on your community involvement, the role of spiritual gifts in your mission, and how biases might limit your wor...

In Hosea 2, we see a beautiful portrayal of God’s redeeming love in the relationship between Hosea and Gomer. Just as Hosea renews the wedding vows in spite of Gomer’s unfaithfulness, God does not give up on us and we are NOT to give up on humanity either. The picture of God’s covenantal relationship with humanity is described in verses 19-20 as righteousness, justice, unfailing love, compassion,...

God’s mission is to redeem all of creation in Christ as seen in Col 1:20, and through the overarching meta-narrative of Scripture which includes Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Recreation. God’s purpose is to draw all humanity into a relationship with Himself through Christ. Often as believers, we think we “have a mission” when in reality, we join God in His mission. God is a sending God and He is...

Join us as we explore the fascinating story of Esther, a flawed yet favoured heroine. Though it seemed she lived a compromising life, using her beauty to become queen and marrying a pagan king, God chose her to become an advocate for her people. In the same way, God adopts us as His children and makes us beautiful to reveal His love to the world. Let us be bold and wise like Esther to fulfil our c...

Join us for a compelling story of heroism in the book of Esther. Mordecai, the hero of the story, stood up to threats and hostility, prompting Esther to recognize her opportunity to make a difference. God can use us at critical times and we all have a sphere of influence, so let us be like Mordecai and challenge and motivate others to follow God's plan for their lives. Don't miss out on this inspi...
