What Do You Have That You Did Not Receive?
Pride is the heinous sin common to mankind, no one needs to teach us to be proud but pride so effortlessly thrives in our sinful nature. How sensitive are you to your sin of pride? Let us ponder on three key questions that Paul had posed to uproot pride: Who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
Be Anticipative More Than Celebrative For Christmas
Christmas is more than celebration—it’s about anticipation. Through the faith-filled lives of Simeon and Anna in Luke 2, this sermon calls us to anchor our hope in God’s promises, not fleeting comforts.

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear
Is life all doom and a long slide to nothing? What is true love and how can we not only experience it, but live in it? In dealing with wrong understanding and living in the church, John persuades Christians to unlearn the world’s ways and relearn God’s ways in having a right approach to love and fear, ultimately convincing us on the importance of serving one another.
Stewards Must Prove Faithful
The Bible tells us God is the ultimate Judge, but how much do you also care about how people judge you? How much do you trust your own self-appraisal? Being servants and stewards of God, how can we be faithful to what He entrusted us?
Deceive Not Yourself, Boast Not In Others
In dealing with the problem of divisions in the church, Paul calls for the Corinthians to stop deceiving themselves and boasting in others by correcting their wrong perspectives of wisdom, human leaders and self.

One Plants, Another Waters, But God Makes Things Grow
How much do we hold onto the verse, “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain…” (Ps 127:1a) when we go about doing our work? Does the fact that it all depends on God to make things grow mean that we do not need to labor? We not only have our respective God-assigned roles, but the quality of each person’s work will also be tested. When the test comes, will we be rewarded or suffer loss?
God’s Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit
Does it seem that Christians don’t value wisdom and that we cannot exercise our minds if we were to believe in Jesus? Paul sought to correct such misperceptions. The cross and gospel of Christ is not foolishness but wisdom, yet who can understand such wisdom of God?

<1 Co 2> 1 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness with […]
Foolishness of God is wiser than men
Everyone in the world is looking for power and wisdom.
Our obsession with human wisdom and powerful leaders can blind us to the true gospel and cause divisions with the church.
In 1 Corinthians 1:17-31, Paul reminds the church that Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
No amount of human wisdom or power can overcome the root problem of sin.
God chose what is foolish and weak to shame the wise and strong, so that no one may boast, except to boast in the Lord.
