NXTGENSVC Sermon Messages

Those of us familiar with the Israelites' journey out of Egypt will know that one of the highlights in their passage to the Promised Land was seeing Moses split the Red Sea. However, sometimes we forget that God had Moses split the Red Sea because the Egyptians were pursuing their ex-slaves. The Israelites were caught between a hard place... & a great body of water. Such an impossible situatio...

The red polo tee is now a ubiquitous sight in our sunny island. Without realising it, our safe-distancing ambassadors (SDA) have helped keep our nation safe as we fought against the pandemic for the last 2 years.   Before we started noticing the red polo tees moving around our lives- God was the OG SDA in our lives. In today's sermon, Pastor John reminds us that God has been guiding & pro...

How is your family doing? With work & school from home, lockdowns that make us stay in very close proximity with our family members & loved ones- how are you all doing? Perhaps it has been a difficult time as tensions brew & we rub off each other. Hopefully it has been a time where we learn to be thankful for what we have- but undoubtedly, it has really been a testing season for all fa...

We're back in Egypt - and what a dramatic... but heartbreaking return! After 10 deadly plagues, the Lord has slain the first born son of every Egyptian family. Pharaoh himself was not spared this tragedy & in the midst of this, he finally releases the Israelites.  How do you think the Israelites felt at that moment when they learnt of Pharaoh's announcement? Joy - that they were finally b...

We're taking a short breather from Breaking The Circuit over the next 2 weekends to hear about culturally relevant but difficult topics in our lives. Many of us may feel that the topic of money is a difficult one because everyone has a different amount or a different perspective on it. In this week's sharing, Pastor Wilson reminds us that it is not the amount that we should be focusing on, but how...

Would you yearn to be a chairperson of any group? A lot of us are familiar with the publicity and status of the position of a chairperson. Some of us may be daunted by the responsibility of that position. We may say that we don't want it or we're not ready for it, but every one of us has the capacity to lead & to influence. Hear from Pastor John as he draws lessons from the life of Moses, one...

What an apt title this weekend as Singapore has been facing daily record-breaking number of Covid cases in the last 2 weeks. Just like how our government has been warning us that an endemic Singapore must not be fazed by an increase in the number of cases, God was also constantly warning Pharaoh & Egypt about His impending judgement.  Is God warning you about anything today? Even as we le...

The PPE has become one of the most fashionable pieces of clothing in the last 2 years. We have seen celebrities wear diamante versions of it as they move through the airport. We have also seen hilarious memes of people fashioning their own PPE out of everyday items. We have also read heartbreaking stories of healthcare workers feeling as though they were being suffocated within their PPE as they b...

If you're familiar with the animated film, The Prince of Egypt (1997), you know that there is a critical sequence in the middle of the film that details the nine plagues that God brings upon Egypt. But did you know, most Biblical scholars estimate that it would have taken at least 1 entire year for the entire series of plagues to have occurred.  One entire year. Yet Pharaoh didn't budge even...

Hey guys, we took a short break from uploads- BUT WE'RE BACK!  Let's be real- no judgement here, but last year, the Singapore Government distributed a lot of financial aid to the citizens, & to many of us- FREE MONEY! It was money that most of us didn't need but appreciated immensely. Businesses used this money to relieve their unexpected woes- rent, wages, maintenance. This money was a s...

Most of us would never experience slavery in our lifetimes. Even fewer of us would never have needed to make bricks without straws- like the Israelites. However, we have definitely experienced a desperate & despairing situation in our lives. "It can't get any worse than this!" We might even have said. Unfortunately, it does & we barely have anything left in us to keep holding us. In the si...

What's your favourite excuse to get out of doing something you don't like or don't want to do? No judgement here, cos we totally understand. Even Moses, one of the most pivotal leaders of Israel, gave God many excuses to escape His call. This weekend, we returned to Breaking the Circuit, our sermon series on the book of Exodus. Hear from SP Wilson on how we can rely on God as our Provider to meet...

The last week has been difficult, with bad news coming all around the globe. The digital world can seem simultaneously empathetic & indifferent. One moment you're watching a video detailing the life-and-death problems of a country affected by a natural disaster or a crisis & the next, an advertisement for your favourite facial wash could pop up. How do we navigate an increasingly divisive...

This weekend, we start a two-parter series called Ajar. The door ajar is the best way to describe our faith journey at any point. This image also remains an invitation to ourselves, others & most importantly, God- to take one step further, one step closer, one step deeper into whatever He is calling us to do.  Jesus & the Samaritan woman is one of the most frequently quoted passages o...

Happy 56th Birthday Singapore! This weekend, we hear from Jason Wong- he loves Singapore & he hungers for the revival in our land. Yet, even as he launches OneforJesus , Jason also confesses that personal evangelism is hard, even for someone as experienced as himself. Here, he shares that what has pushed him forward in personal evangelism is the little spark that was ignited in his heart many...

Moses & the burning bush remains one of the very memorable encounters of the Lord in the Bible. The burning bush is a reminder that the Lord's presence is always with us. But what does it mean when the Lord says He is who He is? Hear from Pastor Wilson Teo as he shares from God's Word, how we can better understand God's character in the fourth instalment of Breaking the Circuit.  Click he...

It is natural for us to detest being stuck in very difficult situations. Particularly, if they are prolonged. The hopelessness & uncertainty that surround us may make us think & feel that God has abandoned us. In the third instalment of Breaking the Circuit, Pastor John Lin reminds us that even in our darkest moments, God is still working & He is still looking out for us. Let us contin...

The mask has become the hottest accessory in the last year because we wear it to prevent ourselves from getting the virus. However, Pharoah had no qualms about unmasking himself to demonstrate his true desire of destroying the Israelites residing in Egypt. How do we respond to the Pharoahs in our lives when they show a flagrant disrespect of God? Let's hear from Pastor Joey as he dives into Exodus...

Pandemics, lockdowns, testings- these are phrases we have been made familiar with because of the Covid-19 virus. But, did you know that the Israelites were also familiar with these concepts? This week, we start a new sermon series, Breaking the Circuit, a book study of Exodus which follows how the Israelites were led by God to continue the journey of fulfilling their destiny as God's chosen people...
