There are three words we want to explore this weekend – PLANS, PURPOSE, and in between that is something called PROCESS. If I could summarise what these three verses are saying, they simply mean: you can plan all you like, but God has the FINAL SAY! It also means that if your plans interfere with God’s purposes for your life, He reserves the right to overrule and scuttle them. So whatever plans we make, just be sure they’re in alignment with His, otherwise they’ll amount to nothing.

The story of Jesus turning water into wine is both miraculous and prophetic. It defied science, logic, and reasoning, and is packed with revelatory insights. It’s a story of hope, which began with a problem but ended with a miracle, where the ordinary was transformed into something extraordinary at Jesus’ touch. It contains timeless truths waiting to be discovered because it’s a story about you.

When the storms of life come, we may respond like the Psalmist in Psalm 44 who asked, “Where Are You, God?!” In our pain and confusion, we may even throw accusations against Him. But how does God respond to us in these instances? Find out as Rev. Edmund Chan shares in this honest-to-God, heart-of-the-matter message.

Without knowing Jesus intimately, we will not be able to love others passionately. We will not have oil and wine to heal the broken and dying. Only when we stop our busy schedules for the One, can we then stop for those around us.

John the Baptist was called a friend of the Bridegroom, which is the highest accolade and commendation one can receive from the Lord. In Scripture, it was the friend of the bridegroom who was selected to conduct marriage negotiations on his part. It was he who carried messages between the bridegroom and the bride during the period of the betrothal. God is looking for companions for His Son for eternity and that should be our highest quest.

The snake line is a geographical term which describes an imaginary topographical line in a mountainous region above which snakes cannot live or survive. Snakes can live beneath the line but cannot survive above it. This concept is life-transforming when applied to our spiritual lives, because Scriptures reveal an analogy between both.

Psalm 4 was written by David during a season of deep frustration. He was facing opposition and was deeply distressed. David displayed a human side of himself that we can all identify with. But he also came to a conclusion that gives us the key for how we’re to respond to people, such that we do not reduce our interactions with them to a ‘me versus them’ scenario.

‘Simchat Torah’ in Hebrew means to rejoice in the Law of God and calls for us to celebrate His gift to the world. The Torah is not just a historic record, and more than a manuscript or a set of poetic writings. The Word became Flesh in Jesus – God’s most definite, living, and immeasurable gift to humanity! How do we love His Word more and allow it to become flesh within us?

One of the few things in life we can take with us to eternity is relationships. The account of the poor widow in 2 Kings reveals the key that relationships have in our lives for the miracle we need. Our faith determines the quality of our miracle, but our relationships determine the quantity. In this powerful message, Ps. Gary shares about ‘The Hidden Power of Relationships’ and the 5 types everyone needs.
