Humans are hardwired to like predictability. But if we hold on to comfort and control when life is uncertain, we can start self-sabotaging ourselves by resisting change. Regina shares three things we can do to keep evolving with God—starting with our inner world. “Embracing Change” message by Regina Loo at The Evolution, on 21 November 2021 at 1:30pm.

There are so many misconceptions about the “Narrow Gate”— we think it’s the boring, uncool, and difficult route that’s all about giving up stuff and losing ourselves. On the other hand, we assume the “Broad Gate” is the fun route— exciting, being rich, being popular. In this message, Christine flips the tables on our quick assumptions about following Jesus. Beyond the broad gate is actually a narr...

Anger & broken relationships can become barriers to our experience of God’s presence.

Nowadays the word integrity has become synonymous individuality and self-love. But what is Jesus’ version of being ‘people of our word’?

Worry is a natural part of our human existence. Whether it’s this pandemic, our stages of life or just the daily grind—what are some ways we can respond? Zhi Han takes us through compensation—overcompensating positively, overcompensating negatively and undercompensating negatively. Never let legitimate external-worries turn into internal-anxieties. You are capable of moving forward productively! “...

What comes to mind when you hear the words “Doing Good”? Building schools in a third world nation? Social justice advocate with 10,000 followers? Really, doing good is as simple as showing kindness to another human. It’s not so we can feel good about ourselves, neither is it for gaining recognition and pay back in return. Our focus should be truly loving and making someone else’s life better. “Doi...

This week, we dive into Jesus’ take on “The law of adultery” and “The law of Divorce” in Matthew 5:27 - 32. We talk lust—that “do not lust” is not just about NOT cheating on a partner, it’s about NEVER objectifying and commodifying another human being relationally or sexually. We also talk equality—that Jesus was not just teaching about adultery in general, He was confronting severe injustice agai...

There’s been a whole lot of social media rage lately—when is it productive indignation? And when does it cross over unproductive ‘violence’? What’s the alternative? And can we create real change that moves everyone forward? Through Matthew 5:21-26 and 5:38-42, Charmaine J. shows us that Jesus’ non-violent justice is not weak justice. That real revolution in our world happens through repentance, re...

Have you ever wondered: Is Christianity about rules? Or is Christianity about love? In this message, we unpack Matthew 5 and Jesus means when He teaches us to live by “The Law of Love”.
