What Is Your Plea In The Face Of Christ’s Power?
Knowing and confirming the omnipotence of God is critical to our faith as it shapes who we will ultimately trust and rely on. God’s supremacy is clearly displayed in the Gospels in the account where Jesus overpowers a legion of demons and sends them into a herd of pigs. In the story, we can also see God’s goodness in His mercy for the demon-possessed man.
However, the people who witnessed and heard about this amazing deliverance decided that Jesus should leave their community. In the face of Christ’s power and goodness, will our response be like these people? Or will we commit our lives to Jesus?
Feeding On Jesus, The Bread Of Life
The word “faith” has been so loosely used in the Christian world. Sometimes it could be easily perceived as a form of self confidence, or the audacity to make bold claims with a scripture verse.

Find out from Pastor Vincent the significance of feeding on Jesus, without which no one can truly receive eternal life.
A Different Kind Of Love In Christ
The Christian love is one that transcends familial ties.

Find out why is this a totally erroneous view of both “foreknowledge” and “predestination”.
Before The Cross Of Jesus
Before the Calvary Cross, the greatest salvation was accomplished through the most horrific and brutal execution. God has bought the souls of men with the greatest price, yet today many have cheapened God’s grace thinking that anyone who is in church, or had some encounters with God are set on a path to heaven. Yet the scene before the Cross tells us otherwise. As the Lord says: “Many are invited, but few are chosen”.
You Lack “One Thing”
Despite the many things we are doing to experience God’s goodness and have a close relationship with Him, Jesus said, “one thing is still lacking”. What is that”one thing”?
To Be Winners of Sinners <Mt 18:15-20>
We have a tendency to desire winning people’s approval, or winning people in terms of performance, wealth, popularity, etc. However, how often have we thought of winning sinners over to God? The heart of God is for His people to turn to Him. That is precisely the role of His church on earth, for the […]
Prone to Stray; God to Save <Mt 18:10-14>
We are all prone to stray from God. The good news is, the Good Shepherd never gives up on His lost sheep. No matter how lost or weak His sheep is, the Greatest God cares for the least of His sheep.
Redefining Greatness <Mt. 18:1-9>
Even if we are not the ambitious type, we also do not hope to be someone small and who is looked down upon. The question is, is it wrong to desire greatness?
