Learn what it really means when the Holy Spirit is groaning and praying for you.

Is it just us that are groaning in this world, waiting for our glorification? We'll find out that the answer to that question is no and discover the who or what and more importantly, the why of all these groanings.

The work that God has begun in you, He will complete it. This is called our glorification and Pastor Tim seems to interpret the Apostle, Paul, transitioning the topic of chapter 8 into this marvellous hope that we have. Of course, we reflect on our suffering but how do we actually suffer with Christ?

Adoption would have been a foreign concept to the Jew when it comes to being part of God's family. We have a privilege of calling the Creator of the Universe our Abba Father. And of course with adoption, comes the legal right to inherit everything that the other children inherit. In the spiritual realm, we inherit the same as Jesus Christ - everything! Pastor Tim unpacks this phenomenal truth in t...

It's a question that everyone needs to ask and it's actually a great question to ask someone if you're concerned over their salvation. Having the Holy Spirit living in you decides on whether you're saved or not. Pastor Tim gives some practical advice to answer this question and bring affirmation and confirmation to your identity.

Pastor Tim helps us distinguish between what it means to be in the flesh vs in the Spirit. The goal is to better understand our identity in Christ and that we can only be one and not both. Please accept our apologies on the poor quality at the start of the message. Unfortunately, we had minor technical difficulties but thankfully, the quality improves throughout.

There are two main laws in the spiritual world and one is superior to the other. That's of course the Law of Life - the law that determines that you are free from condemnation if you are in Christ Jesus. Pastor Tim uses these few verses to explain Christianity 101. Please accept our apologies for the poor quality of this audio. Evidently, we had technical difficulties on the day.

A great verse to silence the accuser.

Pastor Tim reminds the church of its vision, mission and values. With that comes some insight into what FCBC is looking to achieve in 2022.

We come to the part of the chapter where there seems to be two sides to the debate of whether this is Paul writing as a Jew to those "who know the Law" or whether this is an expression of his lamentations over his sin as a believer. Pastor Tim presents both views and explains why this passage has to be a testimony of Paul's, when he was trying to please the Lord under the Law.

Paul tackles another objection to this teaching of grace where it would have been Jews questioning whether the law of God was sin. Paul's response is again one of divine revelation in that it is sin that works through the law that causes us to stumble and fall short of the glory of God. Remember to keep on asking the question, "When does Paul stop addressing those who know the law?" 

Pastor Tim urges us to take special note of who Paul addresses in chapter 7 of Romans - those who know the law. Those with a Jewish heritage are on his mind and it is key to figure out when he stops addressing them as it solves the dilemma on wondering whether this chapter is a testimony of Paul's or it's a confession of his struggle with sin as a believer. Time will tell what Pastor Tim's conclus...

This message concludes chapter 6 of Romans where Pastor Tim is convinced Paul is writing to his audience to choose wisely on how they live their life. The infamous verse 23 ends this powerful passage, which reminds us to choose life rather than death. We know that eternal death cannot touch the believer but does that mean death cannot touch them in other ways if they choose to go back to the life...

You're either a slave of sin or a slave of righteousness. Which one do you want to be? If you're the latter, what does that actually mean? Pastor Tim delves into the Word in order to answer that question.

How do you approach your struggles with sin? This message aims to provide practical advice with the goal of having your outside match what's on the inside.

It's a question that is on the rise and one that we should not allow the church to be divided on. Unity is powerful tool and unfortunately, Satan is winning at dividing churches on this issue. Pastor Tim uses this message to help Christians realise that this should not be a divisive issue regardless on where you stand.

This is a term we use quite often to define a genuine Christian but do we actually know what it means. Better yet, are we able to clearly articulate what it means to a non-believer? Listen to this message and see if you agree. Then go out and practise explaining it in a clear and concise manner without using any Christianese jargon. May Pastor Tim's explanation help you in doing that!

This message will give a biblical and clear answer to what exactly is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This is a doctrine that many Protestant churches disagree on. It's helpful to know the answer to this question as it gives us a clearer picture of who we are in Christ.

This message by Pastor Tim serves as an introductory sermon for Romans 6. It is significant for us to know that we have died in order to live. However, what part of us actually dies?

We hope you'll be impressed by this message by Pastor Tim as he relates the current state of our society and all that is going wrong with this world with the second half of Romans chapter 5. When you hear of people changing the world, a name like Thomas Edison might come to mind as his invention has changed the lives of many in the world. However, we have two men mentioned in this passage that hav...

How does character produce hope? Hopefully, this question is answered but more importantly, the response is one that has the desire or willingness to have more hope. This thought-provoking message will cause you to confront your actions and attitudes head-on, as you contemplate what it actually means to mature in Christ.

We begin chapter 5 with exploring the main perks and benefits of this faith that we have in the Lord Jesus Christ. More than likely, we don't really get excited about these perks because we don't fully comprehend what they mean. Pastor Tim determines to change all that in your mind. Hopefully, your heart has already been changed where you have received these benefits. If not, may it be changed tod...

What's in a name? When you know the meaning of Abram and then later Abraham's name, one can easily see how it was faith that saved him and not anything he did. The conclusion to draw out of this chapter is to ask the question, "Are we saved by grace, the law or both?" If you're contemplating between the last two, we encourage you to listen to Pastor Tim as he expounds on the final verses of Romans...

We begin chapter 4 where Paul turns to an illustration to prove his point of God's righteousness being imputed to us by faith and faith alone. Who else would be the prime candidate for this illustration other than the father of the Jews, Abraham. Can you say that you are blessed today in the fact that the Lord will not take into account any of your sins? Just like he did with Abraham and anyone wh...

We finally get into the good news again as the third chapter of Romans concludes. People all over the world from every Religion are trying to climb the rope to make themselves approved unto God. The moral of the story is to "let go" as nothing you can do will be enough. You'll always fall short of the height you're trying to climb. Let go and allow Jesus to get you there!
