Acts Church

God isn’t only listening to the words that come out of our mouths. He sees what’s going on in our hearts. In this message, Rev Dr Kenneth Chin shows how Jesus answered the silent thoughts of the scribes and Pharisees, and what that means for the way we pray and worship. He draws on the woman with the issue of blood, who spoke to herself before she ever left home: “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” Her faith started in secret, and Jesus called it out. When our hearts and our mouths agree, whether in worship, in prayer, or in the quiet of our own room, that is where breakthrough begins. So start your day with thanksgiving, speak life to yourself, and let your heart and mouth say the same thing. Your God sees, and He’s ready to do more than you ask or imagine.

Feedback isn't always easy to give or to hear, but it's one of the most powerful ways a church grows. In this message, we're reminded to start from the belief that everyone has good intentions. Often the issue isn't the heart, it's the delivery, and delivery can be learned, discipled, and healed. Whether you're a leader receiving hard words or someone with something difficult to share, you'll be encouraged to lead with humility, speak with a positive spirit, and keep the truth even when it comes in a messy package. Make it easy for people to come to you, and bring your concerns "with a spoonful of sugar."

God is in the picture, even when He allows discomfort — because everything of real value has to go through fire. 

In this message, Rev Dr Kenneth Chin unpacks a powerful truth using the picture of a pearl: it only forms when an irritant is allowed to stay, and if we run from every discomfort, we short-circuit the very process God is using to shape us. He challenges a common but costly habit among Christians — jumping from church to church the moment things get uncomfortable — and warns that well-meaning advice to "just leave" can actually block what God is doing in someone's life. 

Drawing from the Apostle Paul, who was broken again and again yet grew stronger and more used by God each time, Rev Kenneth reminds us that suffering was literally part of Paul's calling from day one. Discipleship, he says, is simple in theory but hard in practice — it all comes down to two words we resist: "no" and "go." A convicting call to stop running from the process and start becoming a true disciple.

The world looks for skill, talent, and beauty — but God is looking for something else entirely: an anointing that only comes through brokenness. 

In this message, Rev Dr Kenneth Chin drives this home through David, and through the picture of a worship leader whose season of pain didn't diminish her leading but deepened it — not because of Bible school or a worship conference, but because she let God break her. Like olives crushed to release oil, like Jesus wounded for our transgressions, like the alabaster jar broken so its fragrance could fill the room, real anointing flows out of surrender to the crushing process. Your family, your neighbors, your colleagues, your classmates — they will all smell the fragrance that comes out of your brokenness. 

A tender reminder that God is near to the brokenhearted, and that the delay you're facing isn't neglect — it's Him digging deeper so the anointing can flow.

Di manakah Tuhan Elia itu? Dia tidak ke mana-mana — Dia masih di sini. Dalam mesej yang penuh kuasa ini, Pr Dr Kenneth Chin menyeru generasi ini untuk bangkit menjadi Elia zaman sekarang, mengingatkan kita bahawa Tuhan yang sama yang menurunkan api di Gunung Karmel adalah Tuhan yang sama semalam, hari ini, dan selama-lamanya, dan Dia masih mencari seseorang yang sanggup mengambil cabaran serta percaya bahawa Dia masih boleh. 

Pr Dr Kenneth menghuraikan apa yang diperlukan untuk menjadi Elia generasi kita: memilih Tuhan setiap pagi mendahului segala-galanya — mendahului gangguan, berhala, "siapa yang handsome" dan "siapa yang popular" — hidup yang disisihkan dan dikuduskan, serta sanggup berkorban dan memberikan yang terbaik kepada Tuhan. Dan akhirnya, ini bukan tentang diri kita sendiri — seperti Elia, kita berseru meminta api dari syurga bukan demi diri sendiri, tetapi supaya kawan-kawan, sekolah, dan komuniti kita dapat melihat bahawa Dialah Tuhan. Satu seruan yang berani dan penuh Roh Kudus kepada setiap anak muda: jangan hanya kagumi iman Elia — jadilah seperti dia.

Where is the God of Elijah? He hasn't gone anywhere — He is still here. In this powerful message, Pr Dr Dr Kenneth Chin calls this generation to rise up as the Elijahs of today, reminding us that the same God who sent fire down on Mount Carmel is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He's still looking for someone who will take up the challenge and believe He still can. 

Pr Dr  Kenneth unpacks what it takes to become the Elijah of our generation: choosing God every single morning before anything else — before the distractions, the idols, the "who's handsome" and "who's popular" — being set apart and consecrated, and willing to sacrifice and give God our best. And ultimately, it's not about ourselves — like Elijah, we cry out for fire from heaven not for our own sake, but so that our friends, our schools, our communities may know that He is God. A bold, Spirit-filled call to every young person: don't just admire Elijah's faith — become it.

Apa yang kamu lakukan apabila segalanya runtuh — dan kamulah yang semua orang harapkan?

Dalam episod ini, Pr Kenneth Chin berkongsi kisah memimpin Victory Academy melalui salah satu musim paling gelap — bilangan pelajar berkurangan, guru-guru meletak jawatan, dan semangat yang jatuh ke paras paling rendah. Daripada berundur, Pr Kenneth memilih untuk bangkit dan memimpin. Satu perbualan pada satu masa. Satu permainan pada satu masa. Satu Ahad pada satu masa. Dan perlahan-lahan, sekolah itu bangkit
 semula.

What do you do when everything is falling apart — and you're the one people are looking to for answers?

In this episode, Pr Kenneth Chin shares the raw story of leading Victory Academy through one of its darkest seasons — dropping student numbers, resigning teachers, and rock-bottom morale. Instead of walking away, Pr Kenneth chose to rise up and lead. One conversation at a time. One game at a time. One Sunday at a time. And slowly, the school turned around.You can also listen to it on

Apakah yang sebenarnya sampai ke hati anak-anak muda — aktiviti yang menarik, atau mesej di sebaliknya?

Dalam bengkel bersama pemimpin belia ini, Rev Dr Kenneth Chin mencabar kita untuk menilai semula cara kita melayani golongan muda. Bukan aktiviti yang utama — tetapi kandungannya. Permainan, acara, dan pembungkusan yang kreatif mungkin menarik ramai orang, tetapi hanya "isi" mesej yang mengubah hidup. Jadi, jangan tertekan dengan pembungkusan; fokuslah kepada apa yang benar-benar masuk ke dalam hati.

Rev Dr Kenneth turut berkongsi beberapa perkara penting yang boleh diusahakan oleh setiap pemimpin belia untuk menjangkau generasi ini dengan lebih berkesan.

Dengarkan, ambil nota, dan teruslah dikuatkan — isi lebih penting daripada gaya, mesej lebih penting daripada kaedah.

What actually reaches the hearts of young people — the exciting programs we run, or the message behind them?

In this workshop with youth leaders, Rev Dr Kenneth Chin challenges us to rethink how we do youth ministry. It's not about the activity — it's about the content. The games, events, and creative packaging may draw a crowd, but only the "meat" of the message transforms lives. So don't stress over the wrapping; focus on what actually enters the heart.

Rev Dr Kenneth also shares practical key points every youth leader can work on to reach this generation more effectively.

Listen in, take notes, and be encouraged — substance over style, message over method.

Adakah kamu perlu 100% yakin sebelum memimpin? Pr Kenneth Chin berkongsi secara peribadi — bagaimana walaupun setelah 3.5 tahun mengejar Sandra, keraguan datang seminggu sebelum perkahwinan mereka. Namun melalui sebuah penglihatan dari Tuhan tentang Sandra pada usia 88 tahun, berkedut dan ompong, jawapannya tetap ya. Keyakinan yang sejati bukan ketiadaan rasa takut — ia adalah mempercayai Tuhan cukup untuk melangkah maju, dan membiarkan keyakinan itu berkembang sepanjang perjalanan.

Do you have to be 100% confident before you lead? Pr Kenneth Chin gets personal — sharing how even after 3.5 years of pursuing Sandra, doubt crept in the week before their wedding. But through a vision from God of Sandra at 88, wrinkled and toothless, his answer was still yes. True confidence isn't the absence of fear — it's trusting God enough to take the first step, and letting confidence grow as you go.

In this episode of the Message-To-Go Podcast, Pr Kenneth Chin explores a question many Christians wrestle with: Can believers be demon-possessed? He argues that because of Christ's work on the cross secured and sealed believers, the Holy Spirit's presence leaves no room for demonic ownership. However, Chin acknowledges that Christians can still struggle with strongholds like fear, anxiety, and insecurity. Using his own battle with fear of darkness as an example, he urges young believers to move beyond spiritual doubt a actively claim the freedom and authority they already possess in Christ.
