JICF Sunday Sermons

Can God’s sovereignty go hand in hand with our responsibility? Do God’s providence requires our obedience? As we start our new series, Yusup Lifire taught us that The book of First Samuel reveals God’s providence at work in a times of uncertainty and spiritual decline. As God faithfully guides His people through imperfect leaders, common people and unexpected events, He calls them to listen to His...

In Sunday's message, Hendra Suhartanto reminded us that life is short, and every day matters more than we realize. Come! Let’s explore together God’s call to live with eternal purpose in light of our limited time on earth. Drawing from Romans 12, Psalm 90, and the Great Commission, this message challenges us to stop drifting, renew our minds, and live transformed lives that intentionally make...

Ebenezer means stone of help which will us to declare and remember God's help and faithfulness in our lives especially over the past year.

As we come to the end of our advent series we look to the fulfillment of the promises of God of Peace, Hope, Love and Joy through the birth of Jesus. However, the first coming of Jesus points us towards his second coming and all the promises of God in Christ will only be fulfilled with his second coming. We come to look at what God promised his people through Isaiah, to what has been fulfilled thr...

Why do so many people feel empty during the season that promises happiness and festivity? Because true joy is not found in gifts, traditions, or celebrations — it is found in a Savior. In this Christmas message from Luke 2:8–14, we will explore the difference between being merry, being happy, and experiencing the deep, unshakeable joy God announced through the angels: “Good news of great joy for a...

While the world searches for the ever-elusive perfect love story, God has written the perfect love story before creation even began. Before the foundation of the world, the eternal GOD - Father, Son and Holy Spirit – live in perfect overflowing love. Before there was sin, before there was law, before there were sacrifices, before there was a nation, there was love. And it’s out of that love that H...

Discover the true meaning of Christmas in “The Peace That Must Be Shared”—a powerful message about how the Prince of Peace saves us, sustains us, and sends us. While the world longs for relief from anxiety, guilt, and brokenness, real peace is found only in reconciliation with God through Jesus Christ. From the angels’ proclamation in Luke 2:14 to Christ’s call to be peacemakers and soul-winners,...

From God’s first promise in Eden (Genesis 3:15), to Isaiah’s vision of a light shining in the darkness, to the angel’s announcement to Mary, Scripture shows that Jesus is God’s long-awaited answer to our deepest needs. In His birth, the true Light enters our world, and in His return He will make all things new.

In this sermon, Tommy Lee walked us through as we explore what it means to live with a Gospel mindset—a way of seeing and engaging the world shaped by faith, love, and hope in Christ. Drawing from Colossians 1:3–8, we’ll see how the gospel transforms not just what we believe, but how we live, love, and bear fruit in every aspect of our life.

Are you content in whatever circumstances you find yourself? Or are you dissatisfied with your life? Please join us this Sunday to hear why God may want you to be exactly where you are in regard to you marital/family status, job/career, or financial situation - and the dangers we may face if we are not content with where God has placed us!

As John Ng joined us this Sunday, he shared with us that emptiness is part & parcel of our Christian experience. It comes in all shapes & sizes: unanswered prayers, deep pains, financial insecurity, business collapse, economic disasters, or loneliness of dying, etc. Where is God in all these? How can we flourish in these seasons. Learn from the prophet Habakkuk…’Though the fig tree does no...

In Sunday's message, Lee Khen Seng taught us that waiting is one of life’s hardest lessons—but it is also one of God’s greatest tools for transformation. In seasons of delay, confusion, or silence, God is not absent; He is actively shaping our faith, renewing our strength, and aligning our hearts with His perfect will. Isaiah reminds us that “those who wait for the Lord shall renew their stren...

Suparno Adijanto joined us on Sunday to remind us that life is full of transitions: career changes, moving cities, marriage, parenting, children leaving home, leadership shifts, even spiritual seasons. Israel faced a time of transition when moving from Moses to Joshua. How can we flourish—not just survive—in seasons of transition?

Due to the fact that we live in a fallen world, most of us face seasons of isolation and loneliness. Is it wrong to feel lonely? Is there something I can do about it? These questions, and more, will be answered as we look at seasons of loneliness and isolation faced by Joseph, Paul, and even Jesus—and what we can learn from God through them.

In Sunday's message, Hendra Suhartanto reminded us that in biblical times, financial constraint often meant the stark reality of not having food or drink, as in the story of the widow and her son in Elijah’s day who faced starvation (1 Kings 17).Today, our struggles may look different. Even if we can still put food on the table, financial pressure can weigh heavily with rent, electricity, wate...

Why is there suffering if God is a good God? Have we ever wondered about this? There will be definitely be times of pain, loss and grief in our lives. Why does God allow suffering in our lives? How should we respond in times of suffering? Can we flourish in a season of suffering? In this sermon, Melvin Gan reminded us to deal with some of these questions so that we can see the purposes of God in d...

Elijah experiences a great victory on Mount Carmel, but at what personal cost? After such a great victory Elijah allows the threat of Queen Jezebel to send him into the desert where he wants to die. But, he finds healing in the gentle whisper of God on Mount Horeb. In Sunday's message, Jackson Crum taught us that this passage has much to show us on to find healing in our trauma and suffering.

In Sunday's message, Yusup Lifire reminded us that every believer walks through seasons when God feels distant, prayers seem unanswered, soul feels dry. We do not feel excited to pray, to read our Bible or to worship. Why is this happening in our spiritual lives? What is God doing? What should we do? How and what fruit can we bear in this season?

In Sunday's message from Psalm 23, Sandjaja reminded us that life is a journey of changing seasons. In the Bible, seasons can mean more than just the natural cycles of spring, summer, fall and winter. Biblically, the word season points to God-ordained times or appointed periods in life. There are moments in our lives where God is doing something specific in His plan, both in creation and in our pe...

In this passage, Barry Rowan reminded us to see how Jesus took time to pray. Through prayer he learned his mission from our Father and was willing to have that mission modified as he journeyed through life. Sharing from Barry’s own experiences, we will see how Jesus’ story connects with our own. Our hope is that we will go beyond a prayer life to living lives of prayer as we see God’s will embedde...

Let’s explore what Scripture says about the value of relationships—especially family and friends—and how we can treasure them as God intended.

God is sovereign and will complete all his purposes and promises no matter what. In Acts 27:27-44, we see his sovereignty in the details of Paul’s life as he journeys to Rome. It may seem puzzling and confusing that God caused Paul to go through a shipwreck. His sovereignty over the details of Paul’s life is written down to comfort and strengthen us in our time of difficulties because we know God...

Paul was finally on his way to Rome. Traveling by sea, they encountered violent storm that caused them to drift uncontrollably. And they began to lose all hope. In this life, we are bound to encounter violent life's storms. How should we, as believers, navigate through life's storms? Paul was finally on his way to Rome. Traveling by sea, they encountered violent storm that caused them to d...

As the apostle Paul is giving his defence in the climax of his trials, the hope that has driven him all this time shines through and it shocks those who are listening to him. For Paul's concern is not about his freedom, but about the hope of the promises to Abraham, to the Prophets and those given by Jesus. The challenge for us is to examine our lives to see whether we cling to the same hope o...

In Acts 25, Paul stands trial yet again—this time before corrupt leaders, false accusations, and shifting political schemes. Outwardly, he is a prisoner, but inwardly, Paul is the freest man in the room. This passage reminds us that true freedom isn't found in circumstances but in Christ. As we see Paul entrust himself to God's sovereign hand, we’re invited to trust that no earthly power c...
