God Can Do Far More Than All We Imagine
We do not like to encounter crisis, but often crisis provides the occasion for us to rely on God more and for God to demonstrate His great power. Have you ever experienced God doing more than you imagined? How had God proven you wrong when you acted by fear instead of faith? How had God surprised you when you trusted God against all odds?
The Kingdom That Prevails To The End
While no earthly kingdom last, our Lord Jesus has given us a kingdom that lasts forever. No foreign threats can come against it. No disintegration can happen on the inside either.

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.
Make Your Faith Count
Counting is something we all do instinctively. With the advent of Big Data, there are more ways and reasons to count.
Looking at all the data available in our life, decision-making can easily be reduced to just rational and logical counting with God “conveniently” left out in the equation.
How should believers apply God’s wisdom and exercise our faith when we are confronted with a mountain of data?
And most importantly, above all the counting, have we answered Jesus’ call to count the cost of discipleship?
Dangers Of Being Spiritually Overconfident
The greatest temptation man will ever face is our spiritual complacency when we lose awareness of our vulnerability to all other temptations. Often, we overestimate ourselves and underestimate the devil. Spiritual overconfidence breeds carelessness, and the smallest miscalculation can cause dire consequences. The bible warns us again and again how sinners had fallen because of their overconfidence, yet we never learn. Find out today if our lives reveal tell-tale signs of our spiritual complacency.
The More Oppressed, The More Blessed?
It sometimes seems strange that God’s blessing may look like trouble at first. Yet, the perspective and interpretation to a same matter is important. In fact, what the enemies of God meant as evil, God can easily turn it into a blessing. If God wants to bless His people, who can stop Him? In Exodus, we read about God’s people facing ruthless oppression by the Pharaoh, why did God allow that? How did He still prove His might over man’s schemes? In the face of spiritual battle, how should we stand our ground?
Christians’ Dollars And Sense
The Bible is full of instructions on stewardship of money, and we are reminded that the way we handle money is ultimately a spiritual issue. As Christians, it is important to be sensitive and vigilant of the influence of sins on our views on money, and our hearts disposition towards it. These, coupled with the threats of materialism, often make both Christians and non-Christians struggle to properly manage their finances, or to be contended in it. Unless we restore a biblical attitude and pursuit towards our stewardship of money, it is difficult to present a righteous alternative to the fallen world on matters concerning money.
Is It Good Enough To Want To Be Good?
Morality bothers everyone of us. The wish to see good, and the need to be seen as good is intrinsically built into us. However, do we really know what is good? And are we able to do the good we desire to? Find out from the bible about what is the root problem with Man’s morality.
The Unbelieving Among The Believing
Many churches have adopted strategies and programs to draw more crowd into their midst without realizing the subtle danger of having its congregation being overwhelmed with unbelievers. Before long, the church teachings and runnings will be pressurized to suit carnality than spirituality. Does the bible give us warning to such phenomenon? Are there any principles given to us in running the visible church? How do we reconcile evangelizing and nurturing people in the church?
Continuation Of God’s Covenant Blessings
Have you ever wondered whether good things will continue and whether God will still remember to bless you tomorrow? We are often laden with all kinds of worries about our future, and sometimes when we look at our situations, we can’t help but question how God can possibly still fulfil His promise to us. What has the Bible to say about such concerns? How can the contents of Genesis and Exodus relate to God’s faithfulness to us?
