Exodus 17:8-16

In this sermon, Abel unpacks 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 to show why thanksgiving is at the very heart of Christian prayer. Gratitude isn’t just a response when life goes well — it’s God’s will for us, the root of lasting joy, and a posture that carries us through every circumstance.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Jacintha continues the sermon series on How to Pray by speaking on Confession and how it plays a role in our prayer lives. Based on Psalm 51, our confession takes the form of a confession of failure, as well as a confession of faith. While unconfessed sin builds walls of separation, confession builds walkways towards restoration. 

Psalm 51:1-12

Kicking off our 4-part series, “How to Pray”, Mark explores the vision in Revelation 4, which shows us the true nature of prayer: an invitation to live in God’s presence, and to join an unending chorus of adoration.

Revelation 4:2, 4, 6b-11

What does it really mean to be free? “Freedom” is a word that stirs our imagination, but is it more than just breaking chains? In Galatians 5, Paul reminds us that “it is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” True freedom isn’t just freedom from sin, but freedom for life with God, and freedom with others in love.

Galatians 5:1–16

On Merdeka we celebrate national freedom. But in Christ, we experience a greater freedom: freedom to worship, to love, and to open doors for others. In this message, Tonyong reflects on the story of Paul and Silas in prison and reveals what true freedom in Christ looks like today.

Acts 16:25-34

In this sermon, Jacintha speaks about how you may step into your calling using the story of Esther. Esther found herself in a context that confronted her, and through the courage she found from within her community and a God who calls us, Esther was then able to step into her calling.

Esther 4:8-17

In this sermon, Abel unpacks John 15 to show that fruitfulness in life follows an order that Jesus teaches about: Loved → Be → Do. To discover our purpose, we first receive God’s love, shaping our identity before any work we do. When we start with love, we discover who we truly are — and from there, our doing becomes an overflow, not a performance.

John 15:1-8

Is waiting just wasted time? What if waiting is exactly where God wants us to be?

In this talk, Dinesh, Sarah, and Nathanael tackle Luke 12:35-48, and show us how to wait with purpose.

Luke 12:35-48

How do we stay resilient in the face of pressure?

In Mark 1:29–39, Jesus heals, ministers, and serves the crowds—but He also withdraws to pray. His rhythm shows us that resilience isn’t just about pushing through. It’s about paying attention: to God, to others, and to our own limits.

Mark 1:29-39
