SP taught about the prophecy of Daniel’s 70th week, which can be gleaned from Daniel 9:24-26. The “70 weeks” in Daniel 9:24a refers to 70 weeks of years, with each day representing a year, so each week represents 7 years. These 70 weeks can be divided into three parts:

– First 7 weeks of years (7 x 7 = 49 years), where Jerusalem was rebuilt and restored (Daniel 9:25, Ezra 1:1-2, Ezra 6:14).

– Next 62 weeks (434 years), marked by three events – crucifixion of Jesus Christ, destruction of Jerusalem and the temple, and an age marked with war and desolation (Daniel 9:26a).

– A suspension of judgement until the last week (7 years), which has yet to be fulfilled because Israel rejected the Messiah.

This sermon, the fourth in an 8-part series on the end times, focuses on the rapture of the Church. Its purpose is to remind us to continually pray and reach out to our pre-believing loved ones, and to appreciate the Cross and mercy of God.

In reference to the end-times, Elder Lok taught on Romans 1:18-32 where he elaborated on the increasing lawlessness which we will witness in the world, the wrath of God in response to lawlessness, and the consequence of persistent lawlessness.

This is the third of an 8-part series on the end times. This message focuses on the differences between the Nation of Israel and the Church. We must recognise the signs that Jesus is coming back very soon. While we anticipate His return, we must be prepared and watchful.

This is the second of an 8-part series on the end times. This message focuses on the differences between the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church and the Second Coming, which are two separate events. We, the saints, look forward to and must ready ourselves for the imminent Rapture.

Citing Romans 8:1-4, DSP Chua declared that believers have victory over sin. God sent Jesus Christ to die and fulfill the penalty for our sins. We are therefore no longer condemned for the sins that we have confessed. Despite this truth, some of us still struggle with shame and guilt over past sins, while others feel wretched when their old carnal nature tempts them into sinning again. Without the assurance of victory over sin, believers can miss out on the spiritual transformation that God wants to do in their lives.

ACT I: THERE IS HURT.

Do not be afraid. 

For nothing is impossible with God. 

ACT II THERE IS HATE. 

Why doesn’t God do something about the mess the world is in?

#1 Is it God’s fault the world is in such a mess?

#2 If it wasn’t God, then what caused the mess?

#3 Even if God didn’t cause it, why doesn’t God do something about it?

ACT III THERE IS HOPE.

Isaiah 9:6-7

6 For to us a child is born,

    to us a son is given;

and the government shall be upon his shoulder,

    and his name shall be called

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and of peace

    there will be no end,

on the throne of David and over his kingdom,

    to establish it and to uphold it

with justice and with righteousness

    from this time forth and forevermore.

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

As we enter the third part of the series Hope in Hopeless Times in the month of December, we are reminded of the hope we have because of the gift of Jesus Christ.
