April 15, 2024 How To Deal With Temptation (James 1:13-15)
Your own heart is betraying you. Why? How?
Today’s sermon explains SIN: Why do we sin? Where does it come from? How does it work as a process? What does it result in? What practical steps does the Bible prescribe for remedying temptation? Grasped correctly, this truth humbles and drives us to the only One who can save us from ourselves.

April 11, 2024 Thou Shalt Not Kill (Exodus 20:13)
Why does God see you as a murderer? God sees human life as sacred; so sacred that both physical and non-physical acts of violence are seen as attacks on the life He gives and sustains. This has personal and institutional implications for how we treat human life, many of which Pastor Paul deals with in this sermon.

Ultimately, in Jesus’ summary of the Mosaic Law, He stresses this truth in the positive, that His disciples must love their neighbours as themselves. And so we are called to everything we can to preserve the sanctity of human life. But what does this look like?

April 07, 2024 Remember the Resurrection (2 Timothy 2:8)
How does Christ want us to remember His resurrection?
Despite this increasingly secular age, we still gather together to remember the resurrection. Why do Christians remember the resurrection despite the backlash from the world? How does remembering the resurrection affect our lives?

April 05, 2024 The Goodness of Good Friday (Luke 23:13-25)
What is the paradox of the crucifixion? Jesus’ death on a cross looks like a failure. Why do Christians believe that His suffering somehow fits into God’s plan? How did all the evil forces against Him, culminate in Him saving us from our sins? And if this really happened, how then do you and I receive this gift of salvation? This is the message of all messages that you need to hear. It’s no coincidence that you are reading this.

April 01, 2024 Trial Is No Respector Of Persons (James 1:9-12)
How should Christians regard wealth?
Rarely does a man's greatest desire go beyond acquiring wealth or enjoying prosperity - everybody wants to be rich, and nobody wants to be poor. But is this goal truly biblical? Could it be that we’ve misinterpreted our spiritual situation by focusing too much on the financial? How does God view us in our poverty or wealth?
James 1:9-12 teaches an unpopular truth about wealth that most Christians are oblivious to.

March 28, 2024 Thou Shalt Honour Thy Father And Thy Mother (Exodus 20:12)
Why was stubbornness and a refusal to listen to one's parents punishable by death in the Old Testament?

As with many other historically gross sins, society has come to celebrate a spirit of rebellion under the guise of bravery and ingenuity. Is what some call an “inevitable phase of growing up”, really that? Is it merely a physiological phenomenon, or is it a spiritual malady, healed only by a spiritual power?

And why, of all the Ten Commandments, does this commandment have a promise attached to it?

March 22, 2024 Thou Shalt Keep The Sabbath Day (Exodus 20:8-11)
Does “keeping the Lord’s Day holy” only mean going to church? This is another polarising topic in Christianity today. In this sermon, Pastor Paul cuts through both sides of the spectrum (man-made rigidity VS antinomianism) to deliver the keys to truly understanding the purpose of the Christian Sabbath.
Does the Sabbath principle still apply today? If so, why is it held on Sundays? What should and shouldn’t a Christian do on the Lord’s Day? What’s the right way to think about keeping the Lord’s Day holy? Which parts of this commandment do Christians constantly forget about?

March 18, 2024 Facing Trials With a Joyful Spirit [Part 2] (James 1:1-4)
Why do bad things happen to good people? In this sermon, Pastor Paul reveals the divine principle always at work in our lives; the blueprint we’re oblivious to while we ponder: “Why is God letting me suffer?”

In James 1:1-4, the Apostle singles out “patience” as the preeminent virtue obtained by passing God’s tests. He goes further to say that patience holds the power to make you “perfect”. What kind of patience is he talking about and how can it possibly perfect us?

March 14, 2024 Thou Shalt Not Dishonour God’s Name (Exodus 20:7)
Why does the 3rd Commandment have a double warning? In Ephesians 4:1, the Apostle Paul exhorted the believers to “walk worthy” of their calling from God. Where did he get that idea from? One place he might’ve drawn inspiration from is the third of the Ten Commandments.

Like the rest of its counterparts, this commandment entails much more than refraining from casually using ‘OMG’ in our speech. Obeyed correctly, it may alter the course of a conscientious believer’s life. Listen on to find out how
