What can bring true satisfaction? What can offer lasting joy and meaning? So often, the things we look to for happiness, purpose and meaning bring only fleeting joy. They promise much but leave us empty and longing for more. Join us this Sunday as we explore why Jesus came: to bring true and eternal satisfaction. Discover the lasting joy and fulfilment that Jesus, ‘the Bread of Life,’ offers to you and your loved ones.

Perspective changes everything. When the Christian life feels overwhelming and we start to wonder if living for Jesus is worth it, what we need is a bigger perspective. Revelation 5 gives us just that—a glorious vision of heaven and the Lamb who is worthy to bring God’s plans to fulfillment. John sees Jesus’ unmatched worthiness, his victory, and his central place in all of creation’s worship. Join us as we delve into Revelation 5 and discover how this heavenly vision transforms our perspective and shows us why Jesus is worthy of all praise.Sermon Outlinehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1EsoFVi-RMtlGmbGtDOJXj2SHACKdEOlI/view?usp=sharingThis sermon was preached at Cross & Crown, Penang on 24th November 2024.

What does true faith look like? In Mark 12:35-44, Jesus challenges us to go beyond appearances and examine the heart of our devotion. From a profound statement about his identity to a warning against hypocrisy and a widow’s humble offering, this passage reveals what God truly values. Join us as we explore “The Marks of True Religion” and discover how to live with authenticity and faith that honors God.

Introduction: Focussing on Externals

        Context: Jesus’ authority challenged

Mark 1-8: Jesus’ identity – the Christ, the Son of God

Mark 9–16: Jesus’ mission – to die & rise to usher in the Kingdom 

1.     Recognising Jesus’ Divine Authority (35–37)

a.      Son of David (cf. 2 Samuel 7:11–16)

b.     Divine Lord (cf. Psalm 110:1)

Have you recognised Jesus’ divine authority over your life?

2.     Condemning Purely External Religion (38–40)

a.      Seeking praise for self

 b.     At the expense of others

Are you acting to genuinely honour God or serve yourself?

 3.     Pursuing True Inward Devotion (41–44)

a.      Not what is given

b.     But what is left

How does your giving reflect your heart?

Conclusion

1.  The foundation of true religion is recognition of Jesus’ Lordship

2. True religion flows from a changed heart

3. A changed heart only comes as we look to the cross

What if our church could make Jesus sick? Jesus loves his church so much that he gave his life for it. But he expects genuine love and devotion in return. How could our faith grow lukewarm when he’s given us salvation and deserves our praise? Join us this Sunday as we explore Revelation 3:14–22 and hear Jesus’ challenge to break free from spiritual complacency and truly welcome him as our Lord and Saviour.

In a world often hostile to Jesus, our faith in Jesus is continually tested. Surrounded by pressures and temptations, will you stand firm or falter? In Revelation 2:12-29, Jesus calls his church to hold fast to him without compromise—to repent, confess his name, and remain faithful, even when it leads to rejection or suffering. The stakes are high: our faithfulness to Jesus means the difference between meeting him as judge or receiving the gift of eternal life. Join us this Sunday as we learn how to endure faithfully, no matter what challenges may come.

Whether we’re faced with suffering from without or discouragement from within, it’s easy to feel disheartened as we walk the Christian life. The church often feels small, weak, and marginalised. But in Revelation 1:9-20, we are given a powerful vision of the risen Christ—glorified, sovereign, and walking among his people. It’s a vision that gives hope and encouragement, reminding us that the King of Kings is not distant but present, actively working in his church. Join us this Sunday as we explore how this glorious vision can give us renewed hope to persevere in following Christ, no matter how tough or discouraging the challenges we face.

How can I trust the Bible is true?” How do I know it’s really from God? How do I know the message hasn’t been corrupted or changed? These types of questions, left unanswered, can stop us from wholeheartedly following Jesus. But in this talk we will see why we really can trust
