God’s Predestination And Election
The teaching on Predestination and Election is by far the most hotly debated one between the Reformers and Arminians. Yet if you’re a serious Christian who cares about truths doctrine, you can’t sit on the fence with either Reformed or Arminian teaching. By no choice, we’ve to take a stand in this matter in our Christian faith. If not, there will be contradiction in our view of God. Because it’s either God is fully sovereign or partly sovereign. Listen to how Pastor Vincent Choo gives a systematic and holistic view on this age-old controversial topic.
Justification by Grace Alone through Faith Alone
If anyone asks you how can you be sure that you are saved, what will your answer be? What is the basis for a Christian’s justification? What’s the difference between justification and sanctification? How does knowing all these affect our relationship and walk with God?
“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. Nothing hurts the Church more if ministers bypass solid teachings about God and quickly bring believers to experiential Christianity. A famine in the Church of God will happen if we are not brought to know God holistically through the holy scripture.
Pursuing The Right Knowledge And Power
How well do you think you know God? Do you know God for who He is or simply for what He can offer? Does your knowledge of God translate into real power in your practical living, such that you are able to lead a God-pleasing life? These are important questions to reflect at the beginning of a new year.
He Came Not Just To Die, But Also To Live
Why is Jesus the main character of Christmas? Why was his coming the only solution for this world of sin? Find out from this wonderful message given by Pastor Vincent Choo about the significance of the King who is born not only to die but also to live.
Born To Bear The Cross
As we celebrate Christmas, we need to remember that what matters more is not the event of Christ’s birth itself, but the reason why Jesus was born. If Jesus was merely born as the glorious, holy and sinless baby, yet He did not come to redeem mankind from the penalty of sins, then His birth would not be meaningful to us. But we thank God that Christ was born precisely to save sinners and die for our sins. How then should we respond in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ?
Tackling Resistance To God’s Calling
Have you ever said “No” to God before? When God presents us with a difficult mission, what is our response? Take it up by faith, or try to dodge it? What are our common excuses to God? How should we overcome our reluctance to serve God?
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. Hear from Pastor Vincent Choo with regards to the critical teachings on confessions of sins.
Failures and God’s Training
Have you been “over-zealous” before, but ended up disappointed with the outcome? Perhaps you have been trying to counsel someone but the other party found you a busybody, or you put in efforts to serve but got hurt in the end, or you thought you were contributing to God’s work but no one appreciated you. What is God’s message for you at such times? How is God training you through these?
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.
