How we wish life was black-and-white, uncomplicated, and simply straightforward! Unfortunately, it’s not. Life is utterly messy. How does God relate to such a messy world? How does God intervene in our messy lives? Ps Johanan makes sense of the interplay between the consistently holy God and our irregularly messy lives in 'Ehud and the Gospel' from Judges 3:12-30.

The good news of Jesus changes everything! Over the next two Sundays, we will look at the lives of the first 2 leaders from the Book of Judges. Their stories show the amazing steadfast love and mercies of God. We begin the first sermon “Othniel and the Gospel” (Judges 3:7-11). We will see how quickly God comes to the rescue of His people from their self-inflicted troubles. This story is our story.

Is your prayer-life sporadic, inconsistent, and quite boring? What would it take to experience fervent, sustained prayer? Ps Johanan looks at Matthew 6:10 and brings us ”The Lasting Way to Pray”. This is the final sermon in the series, Priestly Prayer: Savouring God-ward, God-centered, God-directed prayer.

“Why doesn’t God seem to answer my prayers?“ “Is there something missing in my prayers?” “Why does it feel like God is so far away when I pray?” Have you been asking yourself such questions? In Matthew 6, Jesus answers these questions for us. Ps Johanan brings us The Best Way to Pray.

Prayer is unfortunately viewed as a religious practice. Yet the truth is, to pray is to be human. How can we rediscover the privilege of prayer? What are the fundamentals to prayer? How can we experience how personal, beautiful, and powerful prayer is? Ps Johanan opens a new series titled Priestly Prayer: Savouring God-ward, God-centered, God-directed prayer. He starts with the sermon from Matthew 6:5-8, ”The Right Way to Pray”. You don’t need to be a Christian to find this sermon insightful & helpful.

What comes to your mind when you think about submission to authority? How would you respond if you were to suffer under unjust authority? In 1 Peter 2:18-25, Peter instructs the servants in the first century to submit to their masters – and rather surprisingly – even to the unjust ones. In Peter’s explanation, he focuses on the sufferings of Christ as the ultimate basis for such radical submission. Pastor GL reveals how God’s people are given an unexpected responsibility in the third and final sermon of the 1 Peter 2 series, Your Responsibility – A New People Submitted.

How important is our sense of identity? How does our sense of identity impact our desires and our behaviour? In 1 Peter 2:9-10, Peter reveals to the first-century believers three truths regarding their identity as God’s new people. These truths remain very much relevant and applicable to us today. Pastor GL demonstrates how the gospel defines our identities and transforms our hearts in the second sermon, Your Identity – A New People Defined.

How would you comfort and encourage someone who has experienced deep rejection in this broken world? Does the gospel address this issue? In 1 Peter 2, Peter provides solace for the marginalised and slandered believers in the first century by pointing them to the amazing truths realised through the gospel of Jesus Christ. In verses 4-8, he specifically fleshes out three ways that Christ honours His new people. Pastor GL begins the new three-part sermon series, 1 Peter 2: A New People Shaped by the Gospel with the first sermon, Your Story - A New People Honoured from 1 Peter 2:4-8.

The sense of hopelessness can be debilitating. When the future looks bleak, who do we turn to? Where can we find a hope that can carry us through dark times? Ps Too addresses these issues from Obadiah 1:15-21 in this final sermon of the series: Hope of Deliverance for God’s People.

We live in a world that is marred by violence. Families are not spared. How does a seemingly mild attitude of indifference descend into violence? What can we do to protect each other in our families? Ps Too unpacks Obadiah 1:10-14 in the series "Major Messages from a Minor Prophet", with the second sermon titled “Violence Against Your Brother”.
