Sermon series: Trusting the Saviour: Luke 7-9

Through the faith of the centurion, we learn that the faith that Jesus commends involves sensing a need that only Jesus can meet, seeing you are truly unworthy of Jesus, and yet, trusting completely in His willingness and power to save.

Sermon series: Topical

The Bible is made up of 66 books by over 40 authors with one storyline, and one main character, Jesus Christ. From creation, fall, redemption and new creation, the Bible answers the big questions of life: “Where do we come from?”, “What went wrong?”, “What will put things right?” And, “Where are we heading?”

Sermon series: Christmas 2024 -- Longing for Peace on Earth

Jesus’ birth is good news of great joy that brings peace on earth. But we don’t have peace because we all function in a self-centered, self-serving way, saying, ‘Your peace for the sake of mine.’ Jesus comes and gives us peace by saying, ‘My peace for the sake of yours’.

Sermon series: Romans 12-16: God's Good Life

In Paul's concluding words in the book of Romans, the apostle sends greetings to the church at Rome and from his co-labourers. By doing so, he affirms them as fellow believers in the Lord. However, the dangers of church division are real because of the ongoing work of sin and Satan. Yet, God's people can be hopeful because the God of peace will soon crush Satan completely, as well as bring an end to conflicts and divisions. In all of these, God deserves the utmost glory.

Sermon series: Romans 12-16: God's Good Plan

As Paul shares his travel plans to Spain, via Rome and before that Jerusalem, he reveals to us what gospel partnership is like. It’s about embracing our distinct and different callings, giving of ourselves generously, and praying earnestly.

Sermon series: Romans 12-16: God's Good Life

Paul now circles back to where he began, sharing with the Roman Christians about his gospel ministry. He shows them that it involves commending the good we see in others, and speaking candidly because we care, and because we want to see the nations come to Christ.

Sermon series: Romans 12-16: God's Good Life

The apostle Paul addresses the issue of Jew-Gentile relationships in these verses. The reconciliation of these deeply divided groups is only possible in Christ through His salvation of both Jews and Gentiles, which was God's plan of salvation all along. In this fallen world, hope is only possible and enduring for those of the faith because of its source: the God of hope.

Sermon series: Romans 12-16: God's Good Life

As the apostle Paul begins to conclude his exhortation to the Roman Christians, he points them to the example of Jesus Christ as a model for loving one another. By following Christ's sacrificial model of love, we are building up our fellow believers and moving towards unity in the faith. We are to welcome one another, as Christ has welcomed us for God's glory. Such embrace is not dependent on what the other believer does, but it's grounded in the Gospel of God's sheer grace.

Sermon series: Romans 12-16: God's Good Life

Paul considers the issue of eating certain foods, which is not essential to the Gospel, as a case study of not causing another believer to stumble in the faith. In such secondary issues, one needs to consider how righteousness and peace are pursued in the church, rather than insistence on being right, so that Christ may be honoured. Through this, others may see the true nature of Christ's kingdom.

Sermon series: Romans 12-16: God's Good Life

Paul addresses a conflict in the Roman church between the ‘weak,’ who observed Jewish dietary laws and festivals, and the ‘strong,’ who did not. Paul emphasizes that through Christ, God has welcomed both groups, and they should therefore welcome each other.
