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.
A Renewed Mind, A Transformed Life
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.
Different Degree of Sin and Punishment
The notion of different degree of sin seldom being taught in church. Not knowing this truth will eventually result in nominal Christianity. 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 […]
Living In A World Of Permissiveness
How do Christians survive in a world who live by changing moral values? When the society not only sin, but also permits and redefines sin, how do Christians stand their ground? Find out why the Christian message of truth and grace is the only hope to stop this permissive world from destruction.
How do we come together for the Lord’s Supper?
The Lord’s Supper was instituted by Jesus for believers to remember His death and it is a symbol of the New Covenant.
In 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, Paul rebuked the believers in Corinth for abusing this sacrament. What does it mean to eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner?
Paul, in lovingly admonishing the believers in Corinth, teaches us what is true faith and how we should live and gather as a body of Christ.
Why Should Christians Help The Poor And Vulnerable?
In the bible, God commands His people to act justly and show mercy, especially to last, the least and the lost.
Beyond giving timely aid, the ultimate Christian goal is to point people to the abundant life in Christ, by going deeper and addressing the spiritual brokenness in their lives.
With this biblical perspective that is best manifested in the life of Jesus, we will see that Word and deed must go together so that others may glorify our Father in heaven.
Love Your Neighbour As Yourself
Do you find “love your neighbor as yourself” an unattainable command? Some Christians take it passingly, while others may struggle with obeying it. Let us study comprehensively into what this command actually means and find strength in obeying it. For our Christian liberty does not lie in doing what we love, but being able to love others as ourselves.
