A Personal Yet Public Faith
In this day of age, and especially if we live in a society like ours which is getting more individualistic, private lives are highly valued. Yet, are we entitled to private Christian lives? Many believers may be surprised that the Bible does not give us such a notion. We are called to a personal faith, yet our faith is also a public one. Find out how as Christians, we should live a personal yet public faith.
Loving Our Enemies
Loving our enemies could probably be one of the hardest teaching by our Lord Jesus. While it is natural for us to love our loved ones, or to forgive those who hurt us, it is counter-intuitive to love and do good to our enemies. How do we approach this difficult verse without assuming that it is overbearing? What does love demand us to do for our enemies?
How To Make Sense Of Our Weakness?
“Weakness” is an essential quality of men. Yet, the way we manage it is often ironical. We despise our weakness, yet we also like others to resonate with or embrace our weakness. Often times, we also question whether weakness is a sin, or can anything good come out of our weakness? Find out from this week’s teaching by Pastor Vincent Choo, as he gives a very biblical and sincere view on the human weaknesses.
The World That Keeps Passing Away
What makes the world so alluring to us? What makes us not give up loving it? What drives us to keep chasing after the world to the point we will even sacrifice the things of God without second thoughts? While there are many reasons, yet one of the strongest reasons as revealed by the bible is that something in Man tells him that the world will NOT pass away. Find out how can we counter the love of the World.
Do Justice To The Time Given Us
The gospel always points us to the urgency of the unfinished work God has given to each and everyone of us. So “time” is a critical element needed to accomplish those works. With each passing year, we as Christian should feel the enormous responsibility God has given us as an individual and as a church. So let us hear from Pastor Vincent Choo about how we should do justice to the time given us.
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.
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.
