HTBB Talks

In this sermon, Abel unpacks John 15 to show that fruitfulness in life follows an order that Jesus teaches about: Loved → Be → Do. To discover our purpose, we first receive God’s love, shaping our identity before any work we do. When we start with love, we discover who we truly are — and from there, our doing becomes an overflow, not a performance. John 15:1-8

Is waiting just wasted time? What if waiting is exactly where God wants us to be? In this talk, Dinesh, Sarah, and Nathanael tackle Luke 12:35-48, and show us how to wait with purpose. Luke 12:35-48

How do we stay resilient in the face of pressure? In Mark 1:29–39, Jesus heals, ministers, and serves the crowds—but He also withdraws to pray. His rhythm shows us that resilience isn’t just about pushing through. It’s about paying attention: to God, to others, and to our own limits. Mark 1:29-39

Ever wonder what true leadership looks like? In this talk, Jacintha explores leadership through the life of Moses, and two powerful truths we learn: your prayers make a difference, and God's presence brings deep, soul-level rest. Exodus 33:12-23

Acts 4:23-31

When Peter and John refused to back down under threat, they demonstrated that true obedience leads to Holy Spirit–empowered proclamation and prayer. From their courage to the unified prayer of the early church, discover why obedience matters more than comfort. In this talk, Stephen explores what it means to be obedient, and how we reconcile tension between comfort, and challenge. And why is durian...

Just been baptised? Or perhaps you've been a believer for years and are asking, 'What's next?' Drawing from Jesus' own post-baptism journey into the wilderness, Alvin explores how the Holy Spirit often leads us into unexpected seasons of preparation and discovery, equipping us with spiritual sensitivity for every step of our faith. Mark 1:9-13

We all have dreams, goals, and ambitions—but what does it look like to pursue them in a way that reflects the heart of Jesus? In this talk, Miles explores what it means to seek greatness in God’s Kingdom. Looking at Jesus’ radical teaching in Matthew 20, we’ll discover how true power is found not in status or success, but in service and surrender. Matthew 20:20-28

Luke 10:30-42

In this Fathers’ Day sermon, Abel speaks about the origin story of the apostle Paul, and how Christ transforms him and gives him a new mission for life. As we remember the father figures of our lives, we contemplate how God heals us in community, gives us new sight through our setbacks and fills us with the Holy Spirit. Acts 9:1-20

Have you ever wondered about what it must feel like to be filled by the Holy Spirit? On Pentecost Sunday, Jacintha speaks about who the Holy Spirit is - that He gives generously to all people, that He compels us to go to all places, that He is a gentle person of power, and that He loves to move in the gathering of a unified people. Acts 1 & Acts 2

What does it mean to believe in the Son? In the second part of our “We Believe“ series, Mark draws on John 1 and the Nicene Creed to explore how the Son both reveals the father and renews our humanity. John 1:1-5,9-14,16-18

In this sermon, Abel begins the We Believe series by setting the context for why the Nicene Creed matters in our Christian faith, and how our shared beliefs unite us with the wider body of Christ. We begin with the teaching on God the Father, who is the source and sustainer of all things, who is all-sufficient and sovereign. Deuteronomy 6:4 Genesis 1:1 Luke 15:11–32 Colossians 1:15-17 Hebrews 1:3

We often get stuck taking sides, but God is always at work beyond our lines. In this message, Alvin explores how practicing open discernment allows you to see the undeniable activity of the Holy Spirit – in yourself, in others, and in unexpected places – revealing God's side in the midst of conflict. Acts 11:1-18

In this sermon, Jacintha preaches from the story of Peter praying for Tabitha's resurrection. She shares about how the story points to God's proximity with us in our pain, that we can trust in God's power, and that God can use every difficult situation for his purpose. Acts 9:36-43

Jesus Christ is often on the hearts, minds and lips of many for a myriad of intents and reasons. How should we approach the Son of God who takes away the sin of our world? What does it mean to be called into His family? Let’s consider the truth of God’s Word for our lives today… Mark 3:20-35

"The New" can feel threatening, but what if it's an invitation? This Sunday post-Easter, learn from Acts 5 how to “Navigating ‘The New’: Discern, Don’t Defend”, to Shift your fear to faith, and to step into God's purpose with Spirit-led courage! Acts 5:17-42

The empty tomb of Easter reveals our hope of life after death. In this talk, Abel speaks about the morning when Mary Magdalene encountered the risen Jesus at the garden tomb, and later went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” — and why we can be sure that the resurrection really happened, and that the resurrection changes everything. John 20: 1-18

Matthew 26:36-46

Now we are stuck in the middle, between that lost Eden and that future Garden City. So how now? In this Palm Sunday message, Alvin explores how reclaiming your identity as a temple of the Holy Spirit—a garden of divine presence—can revolutionize how you live, moving beyond mere tasks to manifesting God's life. Mark 11:1-11

Jacintha continues the sermon series on Tending the Garden of the Inner Life by preaching about the Garden City at the end, found in the book of Revelation. The hope of Christ is that in the end, every tear will be wiped away, every thirst will be satisfied, every thing will be made new, and every transgression made right. Perhaps the best news is that Jesus invites to build the Garden City with h...

There’s something about Eden, the first garden at the beginning of history, that tells us about the original design of our humanity. It’s been said you can never really understand what a fish is like until you study the sea. And if we are to understand something of how we are meant to be, we need only to look at the garden where it all began. In this talk, Abel shares about how God has made us for...

In this message, we'll unearth Jesus' patient heart in the parable of the fig tree. Discover God's invitation to "dig deep" and "fertilize" your inner life, trusting His timing and embracing His repeated chances for you to bear fruit that lasts. Passage: Luke 13:6-9

In this message, Archie explores how God calls each of us into his greater plan despite our inadequacies. Looking at Jeremiah's calling, we’re reminded that God chooses us, equips us, and invites us to bear fruit that lasts. Whether you’re new, old, or just passing through, how do you find your place in his vision? Jeremiah 1:4-10

In this sermon, Jacintha shares part 2 of the vision for HTBB which involves outlining who God has called HTBB to be: that we are a home, a hospital, and an HQ from which we become carriers of hope. Luke 5:4-11; 27-31
