In this section of the Gospel of Matthew, we will see contrasting views, actions, concepts and persons causing pain for themselves, to one another and especially to Jesus. Listen to my sermon from EN Singapore preached on 18 August 2024.
In times of uncertainty, live in the now and for eternity. How do we do this? Let's learn from what Jesus taught His disciples in Matthew 25. Listen to my sermon from EN Singapore on 28 July 2024.
As we pursue truth, we ask questions and face issues. In the Gospel of Matthew, different groups of people brought issues to Jesus but not in the pursuit of truth. Their goal was not to ask for His help. What was their plan? Listen to my sermon from EN Singapore preached on 7 July 2024.
We all have received the King’s invitation. Jesus teaches us how our response to the invitation matters in the kingdom of heaven. Listen to my sermon at EN Singapore (Kallang) preached on 30 June 2024.
It’s normal to expect a fair exchange for hard work. In truth, Jesus gave us the better deal in an unfair exchange.
Who gets to enter and enjoy life in the Kingdom of God? In Matthew 19, Jesus teaches His disciples more about the upside-down values of God's Kingdom. Listen to my sermon preached on 9 June 2024 from EN Singapore.
Simon Peter asked Jesus if forgiving someone up to seven times is more than enough. He got a shock at receiving Jesus' reply. Listen to this and learn if forgiveness is really possible for us to live out. This sermon was preached on 2 June 2024 at EN Singapore.
Some of our questions start with this phrase. In this sermon, we will learn how Jesus faced the issues and concerns of the people back in the valley after His amazing mountaintop experience of The Transfiguration. Listen to this preaching on 19 May 2024 from EN Singapore.
The Bible is filled with stories of mountaintop experiences between God and His people. Jesus brings three of His disciples on top of a mountain to reveal His glory to them before His coming suffering on the cross. Let's learn on how to respond when God brings us to moments like these. This sermon was preached on 12 May 2024 at EN Singapore.
Have you ever wondered why you do what you do; why you practice certain traditions? Jesus asks His disciples who they say He is as He tells them His mission, who are His followers and what it means to be one of His. This sermon is based on Matthew 16 preached on 5 May 2024 at EN Singapore.
Jesus told stories called parables to invite His listeners to reflect on deeper spiritual truth. In this sermon, we will learn why Jesus told parables as we go through 'The Parable of The Sower.' Listen to this message preached on 7 April 2024 from EN Singapore.
Tough times can make us question God. Someone close to Jesus even asked questions along the same vein. But how does Jesus respond when we ask Him questions like these? Listen to my sermon from EN Singapore preached on 24 March 2024.
Jesus' ministry is always accompanied by authority and power. And more than that, He was willing to do the unconventional to reach the ones pleading for help. Would knowing the power and willingness of Jesus be enough for you to respond in faith? Listen to my sermon on 10 March 2024 from Every Nation Singapore.
As Jesus' Sermon on the Mount concludes, He gives the listeners principles on righteous living in the Kingdom of God. He also tells us what kind of father our Heavenly Father is. Here's my sermon on 3 March 2024 from Every Nation Singapore.
Nations have laws to protect their citizens. God has His Law for our benefit and Jesus brings the heart of the Law and writes in our hearts. How can we obey and fulfil what it calls for? Listen to my preaching from EN Singapore on 18 Feb 2024.
What is God's plan for us in eternity? In this last part of the series "Set Apart," we will learn how to continue to live the holy life of faith and what God desires for us as we're set apart for His glory. Here's my sermon preached on 28 January 2024 at EN Singapore.
Holiness is not what we do but more of who we become. How then do we grow in holiness? This is from our "Set Apart" series preached on 21 January 2024 from EN Singapore.
What certain things can we do consistently and know with conviction to face an uncertain future? Listen to my sermon on 31 December 2023 from EN Singapore.
Humanity aspires for lasting peace but often look for it at the wrong places. How do we receive true peace with God and experience it within ourselves and with others? Here's my sermon from EN Singapore on 17 December 2023.

What's in your heart? There's a thief out to steal not just what you treasure but your entire heart. Learn how to guard what's most valuable in this sermon preached on 8 October 2023 at EN Singapore.
Maturity is not just for you as an individual; we need to mature as a community. G.U.T. means growing up together. Learn what we need to do to continue to mature, what we've been blessed with and what for; so we can keep glorifying the Lord. This sermon was preached at EN Singapore on 27 August 2023.
Part of the process for our spiritual maturity is going through trials. Why does God allow tests and how can we persevere through it? Listen to my sermon at EN Singapore preached on 20 August 2023.
