But Servants

When the gospel is boldly preached, it inevitably provokes a response. As we call people to repent and believe in the Lord Jesus, it challenges the status quo. Some people respond with hostility. Others search the Scriptures and believe. Either way, our preaching provokes a response. If the gospel turns our world upside down, will we still preach it? Are we willing to bear the cost of gospel preaching in order to see people come to Christ?Sermon Outline:https://drive.google.com/file/d/17Ff-DNQ6vcs4e5IrCmTtgkDrrpi6K3aN/view?usp=sharingThis sermon was preached at Cross & Crown, Penang, on 4th May 2025.Check us out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ButServantsCheck out our Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/796ZzZs0BKjvfJH3H8kaIr?si=5911d4ecb0d846c0Gospel-centred resources, God gives the growth.We are but servants.

The King who humbled himself to die now rises in victory. Jesus' resurrection is not just a moment of triumph - it is the declaration that he is the rightful ruler over all. Death is defeated, the grave is powerless, and his kingdom is forever. As the risen King, he commissions his disciples to proclaim his victory to the ends of the earth. Will we bow before him and go forth in his name?Sermon Outlinehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1DB9gJlLQQCZ93cFJUykKVEO8a02gn1aG/view?usp=sharingThis sermon was preached at Cross & Crown, Penang on 20th April 2025.Check us out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ButServantsCheck out our Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/796ZzZs0BKjvfJH3H8kaIr?si=5911d4ecb0d846c0Gospel-centred resources, God gives the growth.We are but servants.

Our world looks to leaders with power and authority - who boast great things and demand honour and submission. But Jesus comes as a very different kind of King. He comes in humility, not to fight, but to lay down his life to save sinners. Will we embrace him as he is and exalt him with the praise he deserves? Will we humble ourselves before him and others?Sermon Outlinehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1jHK81Y9wpI-6Lu_b2UATZUg5kHKyS7Cx/view?usp=sharing

Life is hard. We face pain, disappointment, and suffering—and we long for a better world. In Romans 8:18–30, Paul reminds us that our present sufferings are nothing compared to the glory to come. Creation groans, we groan, even the Spirit groans—but God is at work. He hears our prayers, uses suffering for good, and guarantees a future free from pain. Join us and discover how the sure hope of glory makes all the difference.

Ministry is hard. Gospel work is vast, the challenges are real, and the temptation to give up is strong. So, how can we endure? In 2 Timothy 2:1-13, Paul reminds us that faithful gospel workers are strengthened by grace, entrust the gospel to others, press on for the reward, and fix their eyes on Jesus. Join us as we unpack this passage and be encouraged to persevere in the mission God has given us!

Wars rage. Leaders rise and fall. Injustice seems unchecked. Has God lost control? In 2 Kings 8, we see God’s sovereign hand at work—even through a ruthless ruler like Hazael. This passage reminds us that history is in his hands, that judgment is coming, and that our only hope is in Christ, the true King who laid down his life to save us. Join us as we wrestle with these truths and find hope in the God who reigns over all.

Very often we try to prove our value and earn our acceptance through our achievements. Our longing for acceptance drives us on an endless desire to succeed, all in the hope that somehow others will appreciate us. This striving for acceptance can also happen in our relationship with God. Our natural tendency is to think that earn God’s acceptance by impressing him with our moral and religious achievements. But Christianity is very different. At the heart of Christianity is not an attempt to impress God with our good works, but a relationship with Jesus based on grace.This sermon was preached at Beacon Learning Centre on 28th February 2025.

What is the place of the law in the life of the Christian? Many Christians observe a legalistic form of Christianity, where the emphasis is on the rules that we must follow to be a 'good' Christian. Is God's law something that we should be struggling to obey? Is it something we can obey? Or should we be focusing somewhere else? Join us as we explore the role of the law in Romans 7.

True freedom—what does it really mean? The world tells us that freedom is living for ourselves, free from rules and authority. But in Romans 6:15–23, Paul challenges that idea, showing us that we are all slaves to something—either sin, which leads to death, or Christ, which leads to righteousness and eternal life. The question is not if we will serve a master, but which master we will serve. Join us this Sunday as we unpack what it means to be truly free—by submitting our lives to King Jesus.

Life is full of choices, but the most important decisions are those that determine our eternal future. In this concluding message on the Sermon on the Mount, we’ll explore how Jesus calls us to choose the narrow path of obedience, produce good fruit, and build our lives on the solid foundation of Jesus’ word so that when judgement day arrives, we may be welcomed into God’s Kingdom.Sermon Outlinehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1kaMP_blb5k2PAOvH7jW3rWkoTJIMNQjp/view?usp=sharingThis sermon was preached at Cross & Crown, Penang on 9th February 2025.
