Prayer is unfortunately viewed as a religious practice. Yet the truth is, to pray is to be human. How can we rediscover the privilege of prayer? What are the fundamentals to prayer? How can we experience how personal, beautiful, and powerful prayer is? Ps Johanan opens a new series titled Priestly Prayer: Savouring God-ward, God-centered, God-directed prayer. He starts with the sermon from Matthew...

What comes to your mind when you think about submission to authority? How would you respond if you were to suffer under unjust authority? In  1 Peter 2:18-25 , Peter instructs the servants in the first century to submit to their masters – and rather surprisingly – even to the unjust ones. In Peter’s explanation, he focuses on the sufferings of Christ as the ultimate basis for such radical submissi...

How important is our sense of identity? How does our sense of identity impact our desires and our behaviour? In  1 Peter 2:9-10 , Peter reveals to the first-century believers three truths regarding their identity as God’s new people. These truths remain very much relevant and applicable to us today. Pastor GL demonstrates how the gospel defines our identities and transforms our hearts in the secon...

How would you comfort and encourage someone who has experienced deep rejection in this broken world? Does the gospel address this issue? In 1 Peter 2, Peter provides solace for the marginalised and slandered believers in the first century by pointing them to the amazing truths realised through the gospel of Jesus Christ. In verses 4-8, he specifically fleshes out three ways that Christ honours His...

The sense of hopelessness can be debilitating. When the future looks bleak, who do we turn to? Where can we find a hope that can carry us through dark times? Ps Too addresses these issues from  Obadiah 1:15-21  in this final sermon of the series: Hope of Deliverance for God’s People.

We live in a world that is marred by violence. Families are not spared. How does a seemingly mild attitude of indifference descend into violence? What can we do to protect each other in our families? Ps Too unpacks Obadiah 1:10-14 in the series "Major Messages from a Minor Prophet", with the second sermon titled “Violence Against Your Brother”.

In a nation well known for being over-worked & under-rested, how can the gospel show a better way? Ps Johanan brings the final sermon in the series: SABBATH | Priestly Privilege from Exodus 16.

Work is never just about “the work”. Desires, fears, ambitions - these drive (or derail) our efforts at work. How do we navigate the inescapable influence of our desires on our work? And as Christians, how can we safeguard our priestly purity at work? Ps Johanan leads us to look at the life of Jephthah from Judges 11, in DESIRE | Priestly Purity!

We spend so much of our lives at work (whether in school, in the office, or full-time at home). But do we enjoy a sense of “calling” about our work? Ps Johanan brings us the first sermon, CALLING | Priestly Priorities from  1 Corinthians 7:1-7 ,  13-17 .

Anger is a powerful emotion. What is anger? How do we deal with anger? This is the third and final sermon in the series Overcoming Cravings, entitled Untamed Anger. Ps Guna will show us from Hebrews 12:12-17 how anger does not imprison and control us but how we can control it.

When does desire become lust? The second sermon in the series Overcoming Cravings is entitled Unbridled Lust. Ps Guna will help us to understand lust from  Genesis 39:4-21  – as well as how to handle it and heal from it.

“Shouldn’t those who are wrong be judged? Shouldn’t they be made to pay? And if they refuse to repay - shouldn’t they be cancelled (ostracised)?” The culture we live in is quick to take offense and quick to crackdown. How should Christians respond to such a culture? What does God require of His people in matters of forgiveness? Ps Johanan brings Cancel Culture & Radical Forgiveness from Matthe...

We are all in the grip of some cravings. We all crave something, and we do it in such a way that it is bad for us. Our desires have been disordered in such a way that good and necessary things now drive us, and we crave them. How do we overcome these cravings? How does the gospel deliver us from them? Pastor Guna brings the first of a three-part series, titled, ’Inordinate Hunger’ from  Joshua 7:1...

How do we form a culture of honour in our own lives, family, and church? Is the sabbath law from the Bible still applicable to New Testament Christians, and how do we apply it to our lives? In this final message that concludes Camp Honour 2023, Ps Johanan brings us 'Towards a Culture of Honour' from Exodus 20:8-11 and Deuteronomy 5:15 to answer those questions and more.

How can we return to a healthier valuation of honour in our lives? Ps Johanan brings us A Parable on Honour from Luke 14:15-24.

What season of life are you in now? Are you enjoying victory and joy? Or are you facing a set of difficult trials, with heartaches and sadness? Or are you still recovering from the pain of previous seasons? Andrew Low brings us 'Wisdom for Every Season of Life' from James 1:2-12. Hear how every member of Agape can lead fruitful and flourishing Christian lives.

How do you know if you are really saved? Is faith all about knowing Jesus as Saviour - or is there more to it? How does works come in when we are saved by grace through faith? Let’s learn from the book of James on what practical Christian living is. Heed James’ warnings against having a false or dead faith. And let’s use what God has given to every member in Agape, to lead a fruitful and flourishi...

In  Matthew 15:21-28 , we hear the story of a desperate woman coming before Jesus. In the bizarre conversation that follows, Jesus indirectly labels her a dog but eventually commends her for her great faith. Why does Jesus speak like that to her? What is so commendable about this woman’s faith? What precious lessons can we learn from this story?  Ps GL shares with us rich insights from this passag...

Hardships come upon us for many reasons. One of the hardest to stomach, is unjust hardships. What do we do in the midst of unjust suffering? Do we dare insist on our innocence before the holy God? And are there myths on suffering we might subscribe to – to our further harm? Ps Johanan concludes the sermon series HOPE: hard times as invitations to pray – with Hope for Saints from Psalm 26. usechatg...

Perhaps one of the reasons we struggle with faith, is because life is often one hardship after another. We are so busy trying to put out fires (or trying to prevent them), that we neglect matters of faith. But what if we are meant to face hardship with faith – rather than apart from it? What if hard times are invitations to find fresh hope in God? Ps Johanan begins a 2-part series HOPE: hard times...

Do you ever feel that you are starving inside your soul? You have tried many things to feed this hunger, but they are neither satisfying nor lasting. How can you find what truly satisfies?
