Gospel Light Christian Church

By Pastor Jason Lim People think it is folly to believe "Jesus and Him crucified" is the only means to human salvation. But actually, it is the very epitome of the wisdom of God. The gospel is the crystallization of God's wisdom. 1. It is a Secret Wisdom. This wisdom is not discoverable by even the "best" of men. Though devised before the ages for our glory, the gospel is not known by human endeav...

By Pastor Jason Lim On this anniversary Sunday at Gospel Light, we must be reminded about important principles for Christian Ministry: 1. Ministry Focus. Apostle Paul's singular focus was "Jesus and Him crucified". He does not mean he teaches absolutely nothing else but "Jesus and Him crucified", but he is saying that the gospel must be the central focus of all scripture and ministry. Everything m...

By Pastor Jason Lim "Should the bodies of Christians be buried or cremated after death?" "What happens to Christians who have passed away already?" "Is the resurrected body physical or ethereal?" These are some frequently asked questions regarding the resurrection and the body. Paul teaches that the resurrection body is formed after death. Death is no hindrance to the resurrection. In fact, it is...

By Pastor Jason Lim Knowing Christ died on the cross for us should change the way we live. But knowing Jesus rose again (and that we will follow Him) should also change the way we live. Paul says that preaching is vain if Jesus didn't rise. Our faith is vain if Jesus didn't rise. Our lives are most pitiful if Jesus didn't rise. But in fact, Christ did rise! And so gospel preaching is not vain, but...

By Pastor Jason Lim The church is God's masterpiece (Eph 2:10). He is like that genius artist or sculptor that takes worthless materials and turns them into a great work of beauty. There is nothing praise-worthy in the materials per se, and so the beauty of that artwork can only be attributed to God's glory. In 1st Corinthians, we read of how God generally chooses the foolish, the weak, the despis...

By Pastor Jason Lim The gospel is foolish to many people. How can God's Son die such a terrible & humiliating death? How can this be the only way to be saved? Yet, this gospel is the very message God designed to cut down human pride. And this gospel is also the message that displays the power of God and the wisdom of God. Paul, in dealing with divisions in the Corinthian church, takes the peop...

By Pastor Jason Lim Divisions happen everywhere. Whether in companies, or families, or even the church. Apostle Paul wrote to arrest the problem of divisions in the Corinthian Church, and we will do well to learn. The number 1 danger that threatens church unity is human pride. This carnal fleshly arrogance manifests in a superiority complex that parades itself in forming sects or gangs, thereby te...

By Pastor Jason Lim Though we are called by God to the church, we are still a sinful people living in a sinful world. Problems arise when sinners live together. And so, problems in the church are not unexpected. In 1Corinthians, Paul seeks to tackle the many problems that plague the church. And before he launches into them, he intentionally lays down the "ABC" grounds for dealing with them. A- Aut...

By Pastor Yu Fei Life is filled with decisions, and every choice we make at every crossroads of life will determine who we will become. We can either make compromises and go with the flow, or we can stand our ground and live for the Lord. This week, we will be looking at the life of Daniel and see how he handled decisions that compromised his value and belief system.
