Agape Baptist Church Singapore

Jesus. Is. KING. This Sunday, we gather to make our Gift To The King. Are you ready? We give as a response. We give to declare that our devotion is His. Our giving is our way of saying, “As You are jealous for me, I want to be jealous for You.” Ps Johanan bring us the final instalment of the series: “DEVOTED: Let the walls come crashing down”. Join us as we hear how good it is, to be A Devoted Peo...

Money is so important. But if you think about it, money in itself is useless. Money is the means to something else. Something that’s important to us. Something we value. Jesus once said, “Where your heart is, there your treasure (your wealth) will be also.” How we use our money, reveals what we are devoted to. What are you devoted to? Is there anything problematic with being devoted to anything? O...

We all have something we want killed: A bad habit. A persistent sin. A toxic relationship. A debilitating obstacle. Whatever it is, we want it destroyed. But how do we do that? We begin a new sermon series from Joshua 6-8, titled “DEVOTED: Let the Walls Come Down”. Ps Johanan brings us the first sermon: Devoted to Destruction from Joshua 6.

Jesus told his disciples to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). How can Agape be Jesus’s witness in 2025? How will you personally be a witness for Jesus in 2025? Pastor Stephen Tan from Regeneration Church Monash (Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺) shares about the Missionary Identity of the Church from Acts 1:1-11.

Nothing worthwhile comes without suffering. This is generally true for almost all things in life. And it’s no different when it comes to living for Jesus: There is no worthwhile pleasure presented to Jesus, that does not come with some suffering. Yet why do we resist and avoid suffering for Jesus? Pastor Johanan answers this critical question in The Glorious Reward from 2 Corinthians 4:7-12, 16-18...

Have you found that less and less people are making New Year’s resolutions, with each year? Have you also brushed aside any thought of making any resolutions for 2025? Was it perhaps because of how past years ended almost no different from how they began? There is a greater sense of jadedness and cynicism that has settled into our society - and even among us Christians. How do we break out of such...

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2025! Did you set your goals, make resolutions, or plan your year ahead? What shaped your direction for this new year? What was the cause, the vision, or the reason driving you forward? On this first Sunday of the year, we anchored ourselves in God’s Word with the series NOT JUST ANOTHER YEAR . Pastor Johanan kicked off with Part 1: The Grand Commander —a powerful messag...

What do you wish for in 2025? A dream job? Better health? A restored relationship? As we stand at the edge of a new year, our deepest wishes reveal what we truly value. But what if even our best desires point to something greater? This Sunday, we'll explore Psalm 137 with Daniel – a raw and honest prayer about loss, longing, and finding our highest joy. Listen to Pursuing Joy While In Exile!

Hope is one of the biggest themes in the Bible. Yet, it is often misunderstood. Many people recognise the importance of hope in life but fail to apply it correctly. Pastor GL addresses the topic of hope in his sermon, Hope for the Hurting Heart. He will unpack Matthew 12:15-21 to show how Jesus brings the ultimate hope that all of us need in this broken world.

As we approach Christmas, we begin a new two-part evangelistic sermon series, What Are You Searching For? Pastor GL addresses the topic of rest in his sermon, Rest for the Weary Soul. He will unpack Matthew 11:25-30 to show how Jesus provides the deep rest that all of us in Singapore ultimately need.

We live in a world that encourages a “me-first”, “live in the now” kind of attitude. So it can be quite natural for us to apply our gospel-given courage in an immediate, therapeutic, and ultimately self-centered way. We need a bigger vision for our courage. Pastor Johanan closes the series on David: Unusual Courage with Facing Future from Psalm 63.

We often pray when we need something. But isn’t it strange that when we need help to clear our self-made sinful messes - we often become silent? It takes courage to pray - especially when we feel we have no right to ask God for a thing. How do we find that courage in the midst of guilt-fuelled fear? Pastor Johanan brings us answers with Facing Fear from Psalm 3.

When was the last time you really felt you needed courage? David’s courageous exploits are famous. But there is a dimension to his courage that is unusual and often overlooked. This aspect of his courage is most apparent when David was at his lowest, weakest, and most pathetic. This is a courage we all need. And it’s a courage we need most days. Pastor Johanan begins a 3-part sermon series “David:...

In times of crisis, people cry out for help. When nothing seems to work, we cry out to God. This is true even for people who do not believe in God. Why? Because crisis exposes the limitation of finite human beings and the need for the infinite God. Ps Too closes the 2-part sermon series “A Faithful God for Unfaithful People” with “A Deep Cry for Help” from Judges 6:1-10. We will see that sometimes...

In the book of Judges, we see the people of God worshipping idols of their culture and getting trapped in a repeated downward cycle of disobedience and spiritual decline. This ancient book is relevant to us in Singapore because we are also tempted to follow the idols of our culture to our own detriment. In this 2-part sermon series titled “A Faithful God for Unfaithful People”, Ps Too begins with...

In one more week, it will be Agape's momentous 40th anniversary celebration on 3 November! To prepare our hearts to celebrate God's goodness and faithfulness to Agape on Anniversary Sunday, we are in the midst of a two-part sermon series, The Heritage of Agape. In this sermon Pastor Tom will guide us through the passage of Psalm 136, reflecting on his personal journey and the lessons learned as a...

We are just over two weeks away from Agape's momentous 40th anniversary celebration on 3 November! To prepare our hearts to celebrate God's goodness and faithfulness to Agape on Anniversary Sunday, we are starting a new two-part sermon series, The Heritage of Agape. In this series, Pastor GL and Pastor Tom will guide us through two different passages from Psalms, reflecting on Agape's heritage fro...

Have you ever felt like you were searching for something, but couldn't quite grasp it? We’ll look at the human longing for fulfilment and see how the Gospel offers a truth deeper than any philosophy. In Acts 17, we'll discover how Paul, guided by the Holy Spirit, engaged with a city full of philosophies and idols, revealing the truth of a God who created us and wants to be known by us. He shows us...

What do you think about our city? What are we called to do in this city? How do we find hope for tough city-living? Ps Johanan begins a new 2-part series Catalyst in the City. Join us as he brings us answers in the first sermon: “Exiles in the City” from Jeremiah 29:4-14.

Everyone loves something. Love is what keeps us going and what gives us hope and meaning. Did you know that the love that grows from the desires of your heart is taking you to places? Because whatever your heart desires deeply has the power to chart the course of your life. Is your life on the right path? Is it going towards the right destination? Are you walking increasingly towards freedom or sl...

We’ve talked about the relationship between the eyes and the memory, with courage. This Sunday we’ll talk about the heart. Courage is fundamentally a matter of the heart. And the heart that is not rested in God, cannot truly experience courage. Pastor Johanan brings our series on Joshua 3-5 to a close, with Covenanted Heart from Joshua 5:1-12.

We live in a world that’s all about “progress”. But when we pursue progress at the expense of our roots - we end up lost, aimless, and anxious. Pastor Johanan brings us the second ingredient to courage: Dedicated Memory from Joshua 4.

It has become impossible to survive in our world today, without courage. There may have been a slower, less connected, less pressurising time in the past where courage felt optional. But not any more. Courage is indispensable in such an anxious world. Where do we find such courage? Pastor Johanan begins a three-part series On Jordan’s Stormy Banks: Joshua 3-5 and the Ingredients to Courage. Join u...

One of the most beautiful and distinctive realities of the Christian faith is that it is built on God's promise. In Galatians 3:15-29, Paul explains how the Galatians are heirs of the promise as sons of Abraham. This is made possible through Abraham's offspring, Jesus Christ. This passage has profound implications for our lives today. Only when we appreciate that we are heirs of the promis...

In Galatians 3:1-14, Paul sends a very strong message to the Galatians, rebuking them for their folly in returning to relying on the works of the law for acceptance before God. In this sermon, Pastor GL will explore how Paul's sharp rebuke of the Galatians in this passage gives us fresh insights on how we are meant to live by faith in Christ. Don't miss this sermon, Don't Be Foolish!
