Sermon series: A Praying People In two, interrelated petitions, Jesus reminds us of God's sovereignty over all things. He shall establish His eternal kingdom and accomplish His sovereign will.

God is pleased, then, to include and send His people out as they t...

Sermon series: A Praying People In the second phrase of the Lord's prayer, "Hallowed be your name", Jesus teaches us to adore God for ourselves and pray that others might adore him too.

Sermon series: A Prodigal People In the belly of the fish, Jonah wrestled in prayer with God, giving us a model to do the same: He recognizes that it is God who put him there, he agonises over his situation, he revises the goodness and grace of God, and it all culminates in praise and deliverance. Preacher: Tan Huai Tze Date: 18 April 2021

Sermon series: A Prodigal People God tells Jonah to go to Nineveh to call them out for their sin. However, Jonah refuses and flees God's command because he did not fully grasp grace. God pursues Jonah through the storm and the actions of the pagan sailors. In response, Jonah does one noble thing. He sacrifices himself so that the sailors can be saved. This points forward to Jesus, the true and bet...

Preacher: Joel Sim Date: 28 March 2021

Sermon series: The King's People As the disciples prepare for life without Jesus, he promises them a joy that takes their sorrow into account and yet can never be taken from them.

Preacher: Tan Huai Tze Date: 21 March 20...

Sermon series: The King's People God’s people will face a hostile world as they go out with a message of the Gospel. But God has not left them without help.

Sermon series: The King's People Being hated by the world is a mark of the follower of Jesus, it shows that we are on mission for Jesus, and it’s how we mature in Jesus.

Preacher: Joel Sim Date: 28 February 2021

Sermon series: Shepherding God's People The Elders must be men who have a sense of calling to the role, have a track record of proven character, and be competent in teaching God’s Word. Most of all, they must be those whom Christ himself has called, and Christ himself has qualified through his grace. Preacher: 24 January 2021 Date: Tan Huai Tze

Sermon series: Shepherding God's People Elders who are called to be shepherds, overseers and examples, are called to know God’s people, feed God’s people God’s Word, lead God’s people and protect God’s people. They can do so because the God who calls them to this role is also the God who has known them to their core, and yet feeds them the Gospel, leads them to himself, and protects them to the ve...
