We have a generous God who gives us all our money and possessions. However, that’s not the end of the story. God desires us to multiply them and share them with others. We are meant to be generous, just like God is so generous to us.저자 Albert Ng

Like a pair of glasses, your worldview is the lens through which you view life. It forms your values, determines your decisions, and reveals your priorities. But so many don’t even realise what their worldview is.저자 Brett Hilliard

But oftentimes that leads to undue stress and anxiety, and can drive others away from us. In this sermon, we will explore different ways of finding true contentment in …

Like fish in water, most of us don’t realise that we swim in a world of shame. We are unaware of its presence and even more unaware of its effect on our lives. However, we are told that Jesus “despises the shame” in His own life, a principle that could unlock freedom and joy in our lives like nothing else.…

Most of us assume a very passive posture toward our faith. Our unspoken approach is “let go and let God”. Even as we are ambitious in our careers, our studies, and our relationships, often our spiritual life gets the leftovers. Just a slight shift in our priorities can make a world of difference in our spiritual experience.…

Our culture conditioned us to look only to the future for things that are bigger and better. The Bible, however, teaches us to look back. By remembering how God helped us in the past, our hearts will be infused with gratitude and hope for the future. Thus far the Lord has helped us. He was faithful in the past. He will continue to be faithful in th…

One of the most difficult passages to interpret is Romans 13, because of its call to submit to authority. It has become a flashpoint for and against civil disobedience.

Based on the mercies that God has shown us in Chapters 1 to 11, Paul in Romans 12 teaches us how to live out a truly counter-cultural life. Christians can be different. In fact, Christians should be different. Not because we are better, but because we have experienced God’s mercies and forgiveness.저자 Albert Ng

In this section of Paul’s letter to the Romans, he is explaining that now that we have been justified by faith, we now have peace with God and freedom in Christ. But as he builds his argument, he can see the questions coming at him. Questions that are only natural to ask. His eloquent explanation helps us understand what it truly means to be free –…

The gospel of Christ is the greatest information one can even comprehend. And it is so counterintuitive that we easily drift away from it. Our default setting is often to live by inner rules of behaviour, rather than the freeing life in Christ. Romans reminds us of who we are in Christ, and how our righteous standing before God compels our life in …
