Tried & True with Paul Cheng episodes

  • Approach God Fearlessly or Fearfully (Exodus 19:7-15)

    How should Christians approach God? This question, like few others, polarises believers to extremes. If God is so loving, warm and kind-hearted, shouldn't we approach Him accordingly? Or do we maintain the fearsome reverence observed by the Old Testament saints like those in Moses' day? In this sermon, Pastor Paul weighs both sides of this debate in search of the balanced attitude that God Himself approves.

  • My God Shall Supply All Your Needs (Philippians 4:19)

    Philippians 4:19 is a promise that seems too good to be true. In this episode, Pastor Paul examines the conditions embedded in this verse that Christians must take heed of if they are to claim its apparently limitless blessing.

    Who does (and who doesn't) this promise apply to? How can we be sure that God will meet ALL of our needs? What reason does He have to do this? How does one live in light of such all-encompassing words?

  • I Will Carry You On Eagles’ Wings (Exodus 19:1-6)

    Why does God save people? Today's episode poetically illustrates the answer to this question in a way you might not have heard before. Is there more to being a Christian that merely escaping God's judgement? And if salvation is so much more significant than we typically recognise it to be, do we - the recipients of God's grace - have any obligations?

  • Learning To Be Content [Part 2] (Philippians 4:13-19)

  • Our New Year's Resolutions (Matthew 7:7-12)

    How do you set resolutions that God will approve of and empower you to stick to in 2024? Have you ever tried praying for something with high hopes inspired by the words of Matthew 7:7-12? Are these words too good to be true? Or are we simply interpreting them incorrectly?


    "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
