Spiritual scarcity is a real problem today. Unaware or ungrateful for our spiritual wealth, we settle for a spiritual life that is dumbed down, reduced, and anything but vibrant. Though our experience is common (thank God for those disciples!), it is far from what God desires. Living in abundance is a beautiful and available alternative.

God often uses the people around us to speak wisdom, correction and care. Thus, cultivating a teachable spirit is key to unlocking the voice of God.

Doubt is something that every person must deal with. It is a normal part of the human experience and can be a great tool to propel us towards seeking truth, yet unfortunately it is something that fills us with fear and dread. In this sermon, we will study the life of John the Baptist to see how we are to deal with our doubt.

Our natural tendency is to resist change in order to find comfort from predictable control, but real freedom comes through a Gospel-centred life that is constantly in flux.

As we get ready for a “new normal”, we desperately need wisdom to discern our way through the uncertain future. Even if we cannot be certain of what 2021 holds for us, we can be clear on how to live it out.

In the final episode of season Tim, Eric and Kevin sit down to reflect on the year. Then they talk about goal setting and different ideas to effectively achieve our goals.

As 2020 comes to a close, we look at one piece of wisdom from Job 23:10. This message encourages you to more fully reflect on your current path, and provide purpose and hope for the future.

@danielle_ann_ and @kevinkusunoki sit down with @Martin.radford739 to discuss how the modern version of Christmas has come about. They then dissect the various assumptions that our traditions have made about the nativity story.

The gifts of the magi were not only a provision for Jesus’s family for their years in Egypt, but more important, also prophetic in nature. In this message, we will look at the gift of frankincense to see what it said about the baby Saviour back then, and what it means for us today.

Pastor Rick, Pastor Albert and Kevin discuss the impact of family backgrounds on mental health. They explore how this study of family systems has developed over the years and its implications particularly for people living in eastern cultures. Martin then joins to answer the question of how we can blaspheme the Spirit

The most awkward of magi gifts is definitely the myrrh, yet its significance is the most profound.

The King of kings, Jesus, holds all things together. To the degree that we live under the kingship of Christ, He will hold your life together as well.

Sometimes it seems like accountability doesn’t work. Why is that? Is it because we are too forgiving of one another when we sin? Or does our accountability work more like a confession time? Join @kevinkusunoki, @Alan.sl.leung and Pastor Daniel as they discuss the elements that make accountability effective. @Martin.radford739 will end the show by answering the question about why we should pray eve...

Hong Kong is one of the most expensive cities to live in, home ownership is a pipe dream for most people. How did we get to this place? Is there more that we can be doing to help people find affordable housing? @kevinkusunoki speaks with k_iu, and nelson.yau about what Hope of the City is trying to do for the poorest of Hong Kong. @Martin.radford739 answers the question about why God elects some n...

What does it mean to “find our joy in Jesus”? This is a phrase that is thrown around a lot, but few of us can truly make sense of what it should look like in our daily lives. We dive into Philippians chapter 3 to try and understand what it means.

People often question the reliability of the Bible. With good reason. It was written over several millennia and written by a wide range of authors.
