Growing In Love For The Church
The Assurance Which Christians Need
Many Christians live without assurance, yet there are churchgoers who live with false assurance. The scriptures does instruct the genuine believer to pursue assurance, which is an attribute vital to his Christian growth. Yet, it also warns against false assurance. Hear this important message by Pastor Vincent on how he encourages the believer to pursue assurance and denounce teachings, which gives false assurance.
Live This Life In Light Of Our Next Life
In consideration of all the troubles we face in this life, the world has offered nothing but futile solutions. The most it could offer are sells-offs to minimize our pain and suffering for a season. It offers no real solution to the human predicament. Why? Because it doesn’t have that solution to start with. Yet, Jesus in His very own words to His disciples during their darkest moment was, “let not your hearts be troubled”. Find out from this week’s sermon the key to having a quiet and peaceful heart in the reality of a troubled life.
The Redeemer in Christmas
As Christmas approaches, believers are called to prepare their hearts in hopeful anticipation to commemorate the birth of Jesus, and also the Lord’s second coming. However, waiting can be an unsettling process for many. Thus, it is important to remember who we are waiting and learn how we should wait. The story in Ruth points us to the ultimate redeemer we have in Christ and teaches us important lessons on we can receive grace as we wait.
The Hesed Of Christmas
We all know that God loves us. But what kind of love is this? How does it compare to the love we see in the world. The book of Ruth gives us an idea of ‘hesed’, the steadfast love of God, that culminates in the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ. As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, let us reflect on the love we have received and respond with a faithful generous love to God and others, even those we consider as outsiders.

The Holy Spirit’s sanctifying work upon the Christian lives starts from the renewing of his mind. And the mind can only be renewed through being informed and educated by scriptural truths. The tragedy these days is that preachers of the word increasingly seek to motivate believers with slogans and tagline to live an active Christian life without renewing their mind with truths of God. That has largely contributed to a superficial faith.
Listen to this message from Pastor Vincent about the importance of a renewed mind and how it is the key element to a transformed life in Christ.
Forging Meaningful and Lasting Friendships
We’re all born into kinship, but friendships are made. Kinship is a given, but friendship somehow started off without ties and obligations.
As we grow up, step out from the comfort of our family and we just gravitate towards certain people in our lives.
We built trust with them, share our dreams with them, and friendships are forged. Yet, we are told that friendship in Christ means more than that.
How sacred can a Christian friendship be? How about friendships with non-believers? Hear Pastor Vincent speak about friendship.

Two Ramifications: 1) Believers being rob of living a God-fearing Christian life. 2) People will be doubtful about God’s character of righteousness. Why are there ambiguity in bringing across this truth? 1) Wrong […]
Finding Yourself In An Ever-Changing World
Man is on an endless search for himself. He either builds his identity on his achievements or dreams and aspirations, eager to validate himself with the approval of others. In a world that is changing quickly, the self-identity built on these fleeting things is on shaky ground. The search ends only when man realise that his true self can only found in being what God has created him to be.
