MY GOSPEL @ Desmond R Singh

Following Wednesday's lesson, "ROOTED, GROUNDED, & STABLISHED" (Colossians 2:7), Brother Singh encouraged our congregation tonight with Paul's exhortation: "We have this treasure {Jesus} in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are  troubled on every side, yet not distressed;  we are  perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted,...

Unless God opens the eyes and ears of our understanding, we will never grasp the truth of God's plan contained in scripture. God anoints His called preachers to teach His elect. (Ephesians 4:11-13) Solomon wrote, "Because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; he gave good heed, sought out, and set in order many proverbs" (Ecclesiastes 12:9). This wisdom is not...

Brother Singh reminded our congregation and those joining us by live-streaming that partaking in the emblems of the communion service will not change our lives. It matters how we partake of Christ tomorrow, next week, and the rest of our lives.  Recently, we have focused on self-examination. "Examine yourselves  as to  whether you are in the faith."

A half-hour of praise, worship, and thanksgiving offered to God, our heavenly Father, through Christ Jesus, our Lord, Savior, and soon-coming King.

So, as we examine ourselves with humility in preparation for sharing the Lord's Supper this weekend (See 1 Corinthians 11:26-27). God the Father has invited the Gentile saints to the wedding feast of His Son because those that were bidden {the Jews} to the wedding would not come. (Matthew 22:33). Symbolically, He sent His servants to find us. "So those servants went out into the highways...

Today's message deals with the condition of our hearts as we prepare to remember the Lord's Supper. So, a reader might ask, "What does the condition of my heart have to do with water from Bethlehem's well?" It seems much more than we might initially assume! May God open the eyes and ears of our understanding.

As we prepare to share communion to commemorate the Lord's supper, we are reminded of the words penned by the Apostle Paul: "For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he comes (or returns). (1 Corinthians 11:26) Brother Sam stresses that we are not to be examined by others but must examine ourselves. "Examine ourselves to see if your...

G od's people have always found it challenging to obey His laws. We study the history of ancient Israel not because the promises made to the Hebrew children belong to the Gentile church but because human nature has not changed in some 3400 years. Many professing Christians will disagree with the statement regarding God's promises, and that is fine. People are entitled to serve God as they...

Brother Singh considers the Bible his lifeline, offering life and death. However, due to misinterpretation of the scriptures, the Bible has destroyed more people than have received life from its pages. "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing (or demonic) spirits, and doctrines of devils" (1 Timothy 4:1).

God's work perpetually moves forward, meaning it never stagnates. Two critical men stood alongside Moses, Aaron, and Joshua. The first was responsible for caving into the people's will and producing the image of a golden calf, reflecting the idolatry of Egypt. The other young man waited forty days at the mountain's base, anticipating Moses's return. Joshua's decision reflected...

While in exile on the prison Island of Patmos, the Apostle John received a series of visions that he recorded. "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God {the Father} gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified  it  by his angel unto his servant John." The opening statement of this book asserts these are revelations of Jesus...

The job of "a faithful and wise servant" is not to give us goosebumps in the name of Jesus or whip us up into an emotional frenzy but to provide us with the discipline and desire to walk circumspectly! Can we please God when we leave this sanctuary? Can we disassociate ourselves from the evils of society? Can the change in our lives be a witness to our employer, friends, and family? He m...

Watering Wednesday's lesson WORSE THAN SODOMY, Brother Sam reminds us we are privileged to be God's house on Saturday evening when the world offers many alternatives. This little assembly in Mississauga is our Mount Zion and the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. We gather with innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn written in heaven, to a...

Surprisingly, Jesus did not make following him easy, nor was his gospel simple to understand. He spoke in parables so that only those whose eyes and ears were open to receive God's word could understand. Our Lord explained to the disciples, I teach in parables because "they look, but they don't really see. They hear, but they don't really listen or understand. This {dullness} fulfills the prophecy...

Today, we live in a period of history when the elect of God anticipate the return of Jesus as King of kings. Our Lord warned nearly 2,000 years ago. "Watch, therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come." (Matthew 24: 42). In parabolic language, Jesus told his disciples, "Had the house owner known what hour the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and prevented hi...

Brother Sam & Brother John combine to water Wednesday's lesson, "APPRECIATING OUR MESSAGES." Watering applies to fostering the growth of the word of God to take root in our hearts, as watering seedlings in your garden nurtures germinating plants to take root. Too much water drowns the seedlings, and too little causes them to dry up because of thirst. Hence, an elder must be Spiri...

Advancements in technology have given God's anointed ministry methods of presenting the gospel that the Apostles and Prophets could not have dreamed of. In the past twenty-five years, cassette tapes, then CDs, and most recently, podcasts have allowed Brother Singh's messages to reach hundreds of followers in many locales globally.  "The night is far spent—the day is at hand," mea...

Brother Singh paused today's service to give us some vital instructions on worship. "God  is  a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship  him  in spirit and truth" (John 4:24). Scripture tells us, "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto Him and bless His name, for the LORD is good. His mercy is everlasting and His truth en...

Following Wednesday's lesson, "The Chosen," Brother Sam emphasized, "Many are called, but few are chosen." Conversion demands change, namely the change from our sin-prone, fallen Adamic nature to that of Jesus. Yet we face a problem, for our physical nature wars against the law of God. Our minds desire to do what is right, but our flesh keeps us captive to the law of sin th...

I stand in awe of the purpose and plan of Almighty God today as I did when I first heard the gospel of the Kingdom 26 years ago. Our heavenly Father plans to change us from our fallen, sin-prone nature into the image of His Son, Christ Jesus. Brother Singh reviews this fantastic reality for our comprehension and encouragement in this lesson. The Apostle Paul wrote, "For we know in part, and w...

Brother Singh reflects on 44 years of ministry in Canada, from humble store-front facilities on College Street to the property our assembly calls home on Greaves Avenue. But the church is never the property, but rather the people built into God's Kingdom through His ministry. Our Pastor's gospel is one story that only he can tell. His testimony is riveting. Be sure to drink in every word.

Gospel Assembly (GTA) gathered Saturday evening, February 17, 2024, to give God thanks for the ministry of Brother and Sister Singh. They have faced many obstacles and hardships, but their steadfast faith and dedication to God's calling have successfully carried them through. The elect from various locales around the globe join the saints in Mississauga / Toronto in praising our heavenly Fathe...

Language changes over time. Published in 1611, the King James Version of the Bible used Elizabethan (or Shakespearean)English, so CHARITY means something different today than it did 400 years ago. Modern translations use "love," most essentially, God's unconditional Love. The second word we need to clarify is "tongues." Tongues refers to the term languages. Remember that de...

Our Pastor advocates researching the practices accepted into the church to determine their origin. Many pagan practices and unprofitable traditions have crept into worship over the centuries that are not of God. Dancing and speaking "gibberish tongues" are two common examples of Pentecostalism. These are acts of iniquity. It takes a diligent ministry to examine our practices and to guard...

The world offers abundant choices when it comes to Christian denominations. So, a seeker may wonder, "Does it matter what church you belong to?" In this illuminating lesson, Brother Singh demystifies the choices available to God's elect, not according to the logic and traditions of men but according to scriptures contained in the Bible. Jesus told his disciples, "These people dr...
