“So That You May Know Him Better”
Paul’s first and foremost prayer for believers is for them “to know God better”. And this is of paramount importance for genuine Christian faith.

A famine in the Church of God will happen if we are not brought to know God holistically through the holy scripture.

Confession Of Our Sins
There are many teachings in the bible with regards to confession of sins. Yet, some of us may not know how to do it biblically, some even overdo it. On the other extreme, there are some who claim that Christ’s fulfilment of the cross has voided the need to confess our sins after regeneration.

Learning Through Collective Counsel
In a Church, when demands grow, leaders either make decisions recklessly or sit on issues with no decisions made. Both scenarios are detrimental to the church. In such situation, understand why we must learn to take collective counsel.
Being Rewarded By God
Saint Augustine – It is only by the grace of God that we ever do anything even approximating a good work, and none of our works are good enough to demand that God reward them. The fact that God has decided to grant rewards on the basis of obedience is actually God crowning his own works within us.
Looking For Someone To Blame?
In a self centered world, the most familiar tendency is to look for someone to blame when things go wrong.

Is “Wait And See” Always Right?
Some people thought “wait and see” is one of the safest way in mitigating risk. Yet in certain circumstances, it is the portrayal of caving in to fear. Sometimes, having the courage and resolution to do the right thing means so much, and it inevitably brings about the greater good.
The “Greatness” Which The World Does Not Know
Man has been obsessed with greatness. Yet, if there is one thing the bible teaches so thoroughly, it is that human greatness always fall short, because of the presence of SIN. Sin has reduced human greatness to nothing, and make all sorts of greatness fleeting, either by his limitations or weak desires. Yet, there is a form of greatness that Jesus has spoken about, which is eternal and valued by God. Find out what that “greatness” is from this week’s preaching by Pastor Vincent.
Improve The System, Not Complain!
We live in a world of systems. Schools, workplaces and societies bind us to systems after systems. Men tend to believe in systems instead of God. This is because system makes things so predictable. Yet, when they don’t make it because of the system, they blame everything and everyone, including the system, but themselves. As Christians, we are told not to complain when systems fail us, yet we are also given wisdom to improve the system.
