We are not immune to trials and tragedies. Sometimes, they come our way because we are God’s children. A lot of it does not make sense. But God does His best work – ironically, in the darkness of our trials.   Wondering how to navigate through trials and see God’s best work in our lives?  

Join us in the “Triumph through Trails” series and learn some of the practical faith and wisdom that James draws out for us to navigate through our trials. Applied diligently, they will lead us to triumph through our trials.

A growing faith can do the impossible. It can keep you calm and safe in a boisterous storm. It can make you think and do the unthinkable. But there’s a problem.

Faith is like a muscle. It has the capacity to grow exponentially and do wonders. But it doesn’t grow on its own. Like muscles, you need to do certain things to expand and grow your faith.

In the Growing Faith series, you will learn 5 practical ways to grow your faith. Tune in over the next 5 weeks and explore the possibility of expanding and growing the capacity of your faith to keep you afloat and victorious in times such as this.

Because of Christ's resurrection, it can change someone's life. Let's look at how three groups of people/individuals' lives were changed when they met Jesus after His resurrection.   

At the same time, the question is --  is that still true for us today? Is it possible to encounter God today? The answer is yes.

You will hear three folks in our church who have encountered God in their own personal lives.

Accept one another just as Christ Jesus accepted you to the glory and honor of God the Father. (Rom. 15:7)

Jesus accepted us not because of us, but in spite of us. And that changed everything about us. It brought love, joy and purpose to life.  Jesus calls us to do likewise. Accept everyone and anyone the way you and I were accepted by Him – not because of, but in spite of. This, has the potential to change lives beyond our imagination.

This 5-week sermon series comprises of speakers that come from different walks of lives, who will share from the scripture and personal stories of how accepting others (the work of inclusion) could look like.

Decisions  determine destiny. The decisions we made significantly contributed to  where we are today - personally, professionally, financially, or  spiritually. While some of us are thankful to God, others regret the  decisions they made. How can we learn to make better decisions so that  we live with God's best for our personal lives?

Imagine if all of us begin aspiring to inspire one another with our stories of leveraging ourselves for the benefit of others. Can you imagine the impact and influence we can make? I believe you can. Because some of you are recipients of that. This is the life that Jesus is inviting everyone.

You and I have the potential to follow Jesus with our selfish motives  and benefits. And sometimes Jesus doesn't stop us from getting our  selfish ways when we push hard enough.    

We may end up getting what we want but what we want may not be what's  best for us. What if, what God wants for us becomes what we really want  for ourselves as well.

Salvation is free. It will cost you nothing to receive forgiveness of  your sins and eternal life with Jesus. However, following Jesus  wholeheartedly will eventually cost you something. Do you still want to  follow Him? Before you decide, listen to Jesus explain the cost through  this message.

What's the difference between someone who follows Jesus and one who  doesn't? Is there a way to distinguish them? What do you think?    Jesus said that there's a hallmark of His followers. So what is it? You  might be surprised to find out that it's not something you thought it  was. It's transformational. It's revolutionary.

Speaker: Ayan Murry

You owe it to yourself to know what’s in for you in following Jesus.  It’s not just receiving an eternal life in heaven, forgiveness of all  sins or becoming a better person. It’s something that significantly  impacts and influences the way we face our circumstances and make  decisions in life on a daily basis. It’s so practical and applicable to  everyone and anyone.

Speaker: Ayan Murry

What matters is not so much about where we are today, but where we will  be tomorrow. This is true about following Jesus as well. If you desire  to be in a better place in following Jesus tomorrow, you need to move on  by taking your next step. So what’s your next step?

All of us drift in one way or another at different seasons of our lives  for different reasons. The good news is that no matter how far or how  bad you drift away from God, His love and mercy never run out on you.

To always seek to put our faith in God is certainly not an easy thing to  do. As we take time to look at the life of someone who's called the  Father of faith, we realize he also struggles to put his faith in God  all the time. Let's consider how his faith journey could encourage us to  put our faith in God.

Christianity  has become unnecessarily resistible to the world today. But why? Some  have  thought that perhaps it’s because Christians have added in new  things into the ways of Christianity. This is in fact not true. Rather,  it is because we have gone back to an old system way of living. In this  series, we will look into the intended system that Jesus Christ came to  establish. And may we seek to return to the kind of christianity that’s  meant to be irresistible.

We started the series “Emerging Better and Stronger” to understand God’s  role in the difficulties in our lives. Now, we have a choice - how do  we respond to any crisis? Do we get angry, give up? Or do we get better,  grow stronger? Remain faithful, be thankful?

As we enter Phase 2 of the re-opening of our economy, we are cautious that the virus still exists and hence not able to congregate physically as a church. The pandemic has brought rough waves to everyone. Lives have been overturned. In some places, unjust and malice have led to unrest and violence, adding to the chaos.

In the midst, many ask, where is God in this crisis? Why does God allow such crisis to happen? With His power, surely He could have prevented it?

“Tough times never last, but tough people do.” This quote by Robert H  Schuller, has been timeless and often used to encourage and motivate.

We have all been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. It is an unprecedented global crisis. We didn’t choose the crisis; it chose us. But we now have a choice what we can do in response to the crisis.

Did you know that your family currently has the potential to influence and shape future families? In fact, it has always been that way.

Family. This word is filled with so much emotions, memories and experiences for all of us. Some love it, others may hate it.

Family. We all have one. Some of us are thankful for the one we came from, while others want to move out and have their own.

Family. Be it the one we currently have or the one we look forward to have, we want our family to be better. But what does better look like?

In Matthew 6:27, Jesus taught, “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”

This week, we continue the sermon series “Don’t” by confronting our penchant to worry.

Perhaps you are a ‘natural worrier’ who worries a lot, or you occasionally let things infiltrate your thoughts, but we’ve probably all struggled with worries in our lives.

And in this climate of uncertainty and crisis, how then do we find peace and have faith in Christ?

Speaker: Ayan Murry

View Details

We’re surrounded by many things that naturally cause us to fear, worry and doubt.

But Jesus tells us: Don’t fear. Don’t worry. Don’t doubt. How is that even possible?

But what if it IS possible? It can change the way you and I live.

In this sermon, we look at what Jesus said to his disciples on why they should not fear.

As a church community, we see that God gave us the vision to grow as a healthy church that is for people outside and inside our community. Beginning 2020, we kicked off this sermon series which is largely based on Peter Scazzero's book  "Emotionally Healthy Spirituality".

(The introduction sermon and Part 2 of the series are not available.)

When a smoke detector goes off, it signals that there’s a fire somewhere in the house. So you don’t just check the smoke detector, but you check for fire.

What this smoke detector is to the house, your emotions are to the soul. Your emotions are signals that there may be a “fire” inside your soul. If that is the case, then simply dealing with your emotions alone is like checking the smoke detector and ignoring the fire. That can be disastrous.

So, what is this “fire” that your emotions may be signalling to you and what can you do about it?

What do you do when there is nothing you can do?

A season where you are stuck. A season of helplessness. A season of failure or defeat. A season where you can’t see what God is doing, or quite honestly, doubt if God is doing anything at all. You probably have been there. If not, you could get there. This season is also known as the “dark night of the soul.”

And nobody likes it.

What if such a season in life is an opportunity to shed light into the dark recesses of our soul and lead us into a deeper transformation.

You don’t want to miss it, do you?

We are a busy people living in a bustling world. Even when we’re not actually busy, we find means to fill our time with anything but rest. Somehow, we feel that something is wrong if we are not being “productive”. And Christians desire even more to be productive, for we want our lives to be lived fruitfully for God.

Yet a "productive" person may not necessarily be fruitful in Christ. You can’t grow a relationship with God if you don’t pause to be with Him. And you can’t examine your life or look beneath the surface of your life, if you don’t give time to do so.

Let’s look into a kind of rhythm of life that allows us to be fruitful from the inside out.

No one can escape from experiencing loss and grief in our lifetime. It is a reality we do not like. To some Christians, experiencing grief, anger and sadness is viewed as something is wrong with their faith. Hence, it becomes a pain that is treated inappropriately, ignored or buried deep within ourselves. Such wounds fester and eventually crush our spirit.

On the other hand, if you seek to deal with your losses and grief in the light of Christ, transformation happens. How does that look like?

(The introduction sermon and Part 2 of the series are not available.)

There’s a saying that paints a picture of many of our lives. It goes like this: “Jesus may be in your heart, but grandpa is in your bones.”

In other words, you may choose to become a Jesus follower, but in reality you continue to live your life, consciously or unconsciously, by the “commandments” and “rules” you inherited from and internalised in your family of origin.

Perhaps that’s why some of us are unable to experience the newness of life although being in Christ. What should we do? What can you do?
