Agape Baptist Church Singapore

In Matthew 6:5-13, we see Jesus teaching His disciples how to pray by offering a model of a prayer. Before He does so though, He explains to them how not to pray. In this sermon, Pastor GL will draw out 4 precious lessons on prayer that we can glean from the context leading to the Lord's prayer.

In times of calamity, the ears of the heart are perked up and sensitive to what is on God's heart. This Sunday, God speaks to us from Joel 2:18-32 - on the matter of joy. Join us this Sunday, as Pastor Johanan leads us to capture God's concern for our joy in this final sermon of the series: "Rejoice!"

Relationship is a 'two-way street'. In prayer, we bring our hearts to God. But how can we know what is on God's heart - especially in a time like this? And should the matters of His heart impact our prayers? Over the next two Sundays, Pastor Johanan will lead us into the book of Joel to get a glimpse of what is on God's heart, especially in light of our present season of calamity. This Sunday, we...

This Sunday, Pastor Guna will wrap up the Lament series with the final step in the lamenting journey, 'Trust Deeply' by looking at Psalm 13. Psalm 13 has only six verses. It begins with complaints but ends in worship. In this fourth step, lamenting through the dark seasons is brought to a completion through trust in God.

How do you pray boldly when you are bruised badly? What does it mean to pray boldly? Has praying boldly got to do with raising your voice in authoritative praying? Can we pray boldly and yet be submitted to the sovereignty of God? This Sunday, in the third instalment in the series, Lament, Pastor Guna will unpack Psalm 22 in the third step of the lamenting journey in the psalms through the sermon:...

Is complaining always wrong? This Sunday, Pastor Guna will preach on the second step in lament from Psalm 10. While we believe in God's sovereignty, we still live in a world of tragedy and this pandemic is showing that up starkly. How then do we navigate between the goodness of God and the grief of our hearts? Discover the second step in lament this Sunday through the sermon, Complain Freely.

Lament is the only appropriate response to the fear and anxiety this pandemic is generating everywhere. Lament is a prayer that comes from a discouraged, despairing heart in pain that leads to trust in God. For the next four Sundays, Pastor Guna will examine the four steps in lament that can lead us to transition from pain to promise, and heartbreak to hope amidst the covid19 pandemic. This Sunday...

What is so special about Easter Sunday? What significance does it hold in this COVID-19 season? In John 20:19-23, we read that on the first Easter Sunday, the risen Christ appeared before His fearful disciples, and granted them peace. That same peace has been available for generations of believers thereafter. Pastor GL shares 3 truths for everyone who is seeking peace during this season in his ser...

This pandemic is shaking the very core of our socio-economic foundations. On the first Good Friday, the disciples were shaken when their world went dark with the crucifixion of the One they had followed. What do you do when your foundations are all shaken? On this Good Friday, Pastor Guna, Agape’s founding pastor, will bring a message from Psalm 11 entitled 'The Covid, Crown and Cross' where he wi...

This Sunday, we continue to position ourselves to pray through our turbulent times. We continue to cry, "Lord, teach us to pray!" But in a time like this, where is our hope? What does it mean to pray with hope? Join us on Sunday to find out, as Pastor Johanan leads us through Isaiah 6:1-8 to see 'The Hope of Glory'

In times like this, we can be especially sure that God is near. He is with us. He is working for our good. But it is also in times like this, that we are called to pray. This Sunday, Pastor Johanan will lead us through Psalm 143, to respond with ‘The Cry for Mercy’.

Holy Week is approaching! We begin preparing our hearts by looking at the issue of sin in Genesis 3:1-13.  What is sin? Where does it come from? What makes it so bad? How did Jesus deal with it? Hear these answers as Ps Johanan brings the first sermon, "He Became Sin". 

In Exodus 23:20-33, God continues to speak to His people through Moses, giving them instructions on how they can enter Canaan, the land He has promised them. Through this passage, we can derive 3 important faith steps in our journey today towards our Promised Land.

In Exodus 20:22-23:19, we see God giving very detailed, situational rules for conduct to Moses, who would then pass them on to the Israelites. For many people today, these laws seem archaic and meaningless. Consider for example Exodus 23:19 "...You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk." What can we learn from laws like these given to the Israelites? Do these laws still have any value o...

In Exodus 20:1-21, we see God giving the Ten Commandments to His people at Mount Sinai. What is the significance of these commandments? What do they reveal about God and humanity? How exactly are they relevant for Christians today? This sermon seeks to address these questions.

In Exodus 19:1-25, we read the story of how Moses, having brought the Israelites out of Egypt and through various challenges, leads them now to Mount Sinai to an encounter with God. At the foot of this mountain, the people tremble in fear as they experience the presence of God with thunders, lightnings, a thick cloud, and trumpet blast. This memorable passage, that comes just before the giving of...

When it comes to money, many Christians recognise the need to be givers and not hoarders. Yet in many of their minds, certain questions still continue to linger. How should we give? In what way does our motivation matter? To whom should we give? Can we just give to anybody who is needy? Why must we give to the church? How much should we give? Must it really be 10% of our income? What happens when...

"Relax, eat, drink, be merry!"   This is the counsel provided by many in the world today. Yet Jesus warns us against hoarding wealth for such a purpose. In Luke 12:13-21, Jesus responds to a question directed to Him on money with brilliant spiritual insights through the parable of a rich fool who had focused on building bigger barns for himself.

We live in a world where many decisions revolving around money have to be made. Thankfully, the Bible offers much guidance for us. In fact, Jesus Himself addresses the topic of money more than any other topic. In the famous Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6:19-24, Jesus reveals 3 dangers of money that we need to be on guard against.

This festive season comes to us packed with familiarity. The visitations, the meals, the conversations - we know what to expect. But how are we expecting God to move? In John 4, we see Jesus making (what should have been) an unremarkable journey into Samaria, where He crosses path with a Samaritan woman. She too was making (what should have been) an unremarkable trip to draw water from the well. B...

What does love that blesses look like? In Luke 7:36-50, we see such love displayed through the story of a sinful woman with an alabaster flask of ointment. At the house of Simon the Pharisee, her radical actions in anointing Jesus at His feet stood in stark contrast to Simon who had invited Jesus. In this third and final sermon of the series on agape love, Pastor GL reveals the quality of this lov...

Most people would agree that it is good to be loving. Yet, many find themselves and others in their lives far less loving than they should be. In 1 John 3:11-18, God reveals the shocking reason for this lack of love, and His plans to shape a loving community that far exceeds human expectations. In this second sermon of the series, Pastor GL unpacks from the passage 3 key considerations in order to...

In this opening sermon, Pastor GL will expound on the words of Jesus' commandment for us to love from Mark 12:28-31. Come and hear the biblical insights on this agape love, and how it should shape our church in 2020 in the sermon 'The Great Call to Love'!
