Leading As A Follower Of Christ
To lead or not to lead? That is not a question for believers. God has called us to be “rulers over the works of His hands” and we are to be stewards of His creation. As faithful servants, we must be prepared to lead – starting from leading a godly life, to leading our family and work teams, and leading others to Christ. As the world flaunts the greatness of its godless leadership models, believers must go deeper into the Scripture to find freedom and empowerment in a Christ-centred steward leadership model.
When God Puts Us To The Test…
Tests are common in our lives. Yet, when tests are given by God, how should we understand and respond to it? Let us understand the significant of God’s test, especially the difficult ones, and how it will definitely be beneficial in our lives, though we may seem to fail terribly in the process.
The Reality Of Mental Illness
The Church in general is mindful about the rise of mental illness but remain inconclusive about its causality and intervention. What it is doing at best now is to combine both science and religion in dealing with it. Some in the church think that mental illness is a physiological problem that needs medical intervention. Some think that is the cause of demonic activity that needed to be delivered by prayers and programs of deliverance. Yet, what does the Bible really says about it? Hear from Pastor Vincent Choo about his take on mental illness through his intentional study of the scripture.
In The Waiting Room
As much as we hate to wait, in reality, each of us is in some kind of waiting. Waiting can be draining and disheartening, so we sinners tend to take things into our own hands, which are often regretful. In Isaiah 40:31, the bible says that for those who wait upon the LORD, their strength will be renewed. With this promise, waiting can be hopeful and glorious. God is never too late nor too early; His well-timed grace is more precious than what we think we need.
Wobbly Idols, Steady God
What is the most dangerous sin that we need to guard ourselves against, which the Bible repeatedly warn us about? Is God’s presence a blessing or trouble for you? What if you sometimes secretly feel in your heart that God seems to have lost – lost to sin, suffering, the world’s culture, people who do not fear Him?
How To Be In This World But Not Of It?
The big idea of “we are in the world but not of it” has become a cliché in the Christian world. But the key is “HOW?”. Many believers have developed their own standards or way of living that “not of the world” kind of faith. Yet, they may have missed what the Bible clearly taught in this sense. Find out from this week’s sermon about “HOW” to live God pleasing life in this world facing its practicalities.
Combating Boredom
Are you someone who is easily bored? Do you feel increasingly listless and isolated especially with the Covid restrictions? Though it may sound petty to be complaining about boredom, can you identify some real dangers of boredom? What if you also find God a bore and prayers unexciting? How then can we combat boredom so that our lives can be joyful and meaningful again?
The Gospel And Racism
We know that racism is wrong, but why is it wrong in view of biblical reasons? While the world offers its solutions like government programs and public education, how should we deal with racism in the biblical way? Lastly, should we be forthcoming about the deeply entrenched problems of each different race?
Sinful Man Fleeing A Merciful God
Jonah Flees From the Lord Jonah 1:4-16 4 Then the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up. 5 All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had […]
