Sharing in Christ’s Sufferings and Glory
We tend to think of suffering with Christ in this world, yet we did not think about sharing in His glory. Our union with Christ is such a powerful truth that it tells us that as Christians living in this fallen world, our suffering and glory are not separated from Christ. Knowing this truth deeply helps gives us both comfort in weakness and also strength in battling sin.

The Mystery Surrounding Spiritual Gifts
Introduction to Spiritual Gifts Spiritual gifts have long been a topic of debate within the church. While not as central as doctrines like the Trinity or the divinity of Christ, the subject remains controversial because of its implications for individual ministry and spirituality. Different churches hold differing perspectives on the gifts, leading to both growth […]
# 1- Is Life Really Futile?
Ecclesiastes doesn’t shy away from asking life’s hardest questions. It stares into the emptiness of life under the sun and declares, “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” But it doesn’t leave us there. This book leads us on a journey—from futility to faith, from despair to the hope found only in God.
Because without Him, nothing makes sense. But with Him, everything matters.
The Head Of The Woman Is Man
In many church communities, the question of whether women can preach remains a subject of sincere debate. How should we navigate such a sensitive issue with both conviction and grace? This message explores the topic through the lens of Scripture, taking into account historical and cultural context, particularly in the early church settings of Corinth and Ephesus. Without dismissing differing interpretations, it highlights the importance of understanding biblical headship, spiritual order, and the heart behind ministry. Rather than drawing hard lines, the focus is on cultivating humility, modesty, and mutual respect—encouraging men and women to serve together in ways that honor God and build up the church.
Going Above The “Wrong” Of Our Family
Family is a gift from God, but it is not immune to the effects of sin. The story of Joseph and his brothers reminds us that even in the midst of betrayal, envy, and deep wounds, God’s sovereign hand can bring about good. Whether we’ve been hurt by those closest to us or carry guilt for wrongs we’ve done, God calls us to respond with forgiveness, humility, and trust in His greater purpose.
The Importance of a Genuine Conversion

#6 – Temptation and Evil
As we close this series on the Lord’s Prayer, we are reminded that prayer is not just about seeking God’s provision but also about seeking His protection from the subtle forces of temptation and accusation. In the Reformed tradition, we recognize that only by the grace of God, through Christ’s intercession and the Spirit’s help, can we stand firm against the schemes of the enemy. Let us approach God in prayer, trusting in His sovereignty and seeking His guidance in all things, for He alone is our refuge and strength.
No Sitting On The Fence With The Christian Faith
The line between a believer and an unbeliever has become increasingly blurred these days. Beyond just believers and unbelievers, there are now various categorizations, such as pre-believers, nominal believers, and lukewarm believers. These labels can sometimes allow people to remain comfortably in a state of “greyness” when it comes to the Christian faith. But are these terms even legitimate according to the Bible? Hear what Pastor Vincent has to say about making our position in Christ clear and working out our salvation with fear and trembling.
#5 – Daily Bread and Forgiveness
God sovereignly provides for our daily needs, pointing us to Christ, the true Bread of Life. Just as we depend on Him for sustenance, we also rely on His grace to forgive as we have been forgiven in Christ. True forgiveness flows from the gospel, freeing us from sin’s grip and enabling us to extend His mercy to others.
