Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving God
God brings His straying people back by taking away their reliance on power, and their boasting in beauty. Through Christ, He gives them all that power and beauty promise, but cannot deliver.

Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving God
God’s people in Isaiah’s time were full—full of wealth, power, and idols—but empty of trust in Him. They had lost their way, putting their hope in what they had, instead of in who God is. Isaiah warns that a day is coming when all human pride will be humbled before the terror and splendour of the Lord. Our only hope is to hide in the Rock, Christ Himself, who was struck that we might stand secure.

Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving God
When God’s people are unfaithful to God, this affects all of their social relationships. Instead of justice and righteousness, they become marked by greed,corruption, and injustice. God will act to bring His people back through judgment and redemption, and promises them a glorious future hope which is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus.

Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving God
The book of Isaiah opens with God confronting His people like a grieving father betrayed by his children. They have rebelled against Him completely, and their empty worship only wearies Him. Yet instead of letting judgment fall, God issues an unthinkable invitation, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow”. He offers them a clean slate and resets the relationship they had broken. This is the stunning picture of the unthinkable grace God lavishes on all who are His.

Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are Alive
In the concluding passage of this letter, the apostle John draws everything together under one great theme: confidence. He desires that we live with confidence before God in this uncertain world. This confidence is grounded in what we know, particularly the fact that God saved us through Jesus Christ, hears us through prayer, and keeps us through the prayers of the church and His sovereign might. Our today is in the hands of Jesus, but so is our tomorrow, and He will bring us safely into eternity. This is why we can live with confidence and hope in this life.

Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are Alive
John has shown that God’s children are known by love and obedience. Now, he assures believers that their faith in Jesus is grounded in God Himself. The Father gives us victory over the world through faith (1 John 5:1–5). The Spirit testifies to the truth of who Jesus is (1 John 5:6–10). The Son gives us eternal life (1 John 5:11–12). Our confidence rests not in ourselves, but in the testimony and work of the triune God: Father, Spirit and Son.

Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are Alive
Loving one another is a mark of being a true follower of Jesus. But this kind of love is only made possible for the follower of Christ because God is love in His very nature, God has loved by giving His Son as a sacrifice for sin, and God continues to love by living in us, and is accomplishing the goal of His love for us. Indeed, we love because He has first loved us.

Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are Alive
The gift of the Holy Spirit is so precious that it will be counterfeited. Because of that, John wants us to “test the spirits” (1 John 4:1) to see if they are from God because many false prophets have gone out into the world. John shows that those who have the Holy Spirit will believe in Jesus, stake their lives on Him and stay in the church that He is building.

Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are Alive
This passage shows us that even as genuine believers, assurance that we are truly children of God is something we need to fight for. However, the foundation of that assurance is not what we do, but what Christ has done. We receive this by faith, and the result is a life lived in faith, obedience and love.

Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are Alive
The apostle John focuses on the social test in these verses, i.e., whether one has love for a fellow believer. Love for one another is not a duty of burden, but a gift of assurance that we truly know God. Since we have been brought from death to life, we are no longer called to treat one another, as if we're still living in the darkness. Rather, we love one another by God's grace and in light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who laid down His life for us as a demonstration of the love that we are called to.

Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are Alive
In this passage, we discover who the true children of God are, what they will be, and how they live now. In His love, God makes us His children through Christ. And when we see Christ when He comes again, we will be like Him. And so today, in light of that hope, we live lives joyfully dependent and lovingly obedient to God, expressed in our practical actions.

Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are Alive
In his love for his readers, John issues a stern warning about the danger of the antichrists. They are those who leave the fellowship of the church, and who deny that Jesus is sent by God, and is indeed the Son of God. They are deceptive. In order to resist them, we need to let God’s truth abide in us, and we need to continue to abide in God. And what will move us to do so is to know that Christ is better than anything antichrists can falsely offer.
Preacher: Tan Huai Tze

Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are Alive
John shows how someone “does the will of God” and “abides forever”. This involves knowing how the Father has loved us, and loving Him in return. And we love Him by turning our hearts away from things that are not from Him and that will pass away.

Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are Alive
In a world of spiritual confusion, the apostle John assures his readers that they can truly know God. It is made possible through the atoning work of Christ, who is our Advocate before our Father. As we grow in obedience, love for fellow believers, and Christlikeness, we see the evidence of God's work in us, giving us confidence that we do know Him.

Sermon series: 1 John: Walking in the Light
As believers, we know that we have communion with the triune God through the reality of walking in the light. It begins with knowing God as holy, which helps us to grasp why we need the Gospel in the first place. In light of this, we are called to fellowship with one another as the fruit of our fellowship with God, as well as to live with humble integrity through the confession of our sins. This is made possible through faith in Jesus Christ, who is the light of the world (John 8:12).

Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are Alive
John writes to assure believers that their faith is real—not just for certainty’s sake, but so their joy may be complete (1 John 1:4). He calls them to trust the reliable witness, receive the eternal Word, and enter the genuine welcome of God’s people and of the Triune God Himself.

Sermon series: Topical
As followers of Jesus, we are called to enter into one another’s sorrows and carry each other’s burdens with Christ-like gentleness and care. This is never easy. But we can do this because Christ has carried our ultimate burden—our guilt, shame, and sin—and now empowers us by His Spirit.

Sermon series: Nehemiah: Rebuilding and Being Rebuilt
As the book of Nehemiah draws to a close, we encounter a surprising and sobering conclusion to Israel’s great revival. Despite a season of spiritual renewal, the people return to their old ways, leaving Nehemiah visibly frustrated and heartbroken. This ending compels us to grapple with the painful truth of how fragile and incomplete human reform can be. Yet even in this failure, there is great hope to be found in Christ alone, the true source of lasting renewal.

Sermon series: Nehemiah: Rebuilding and Being Rebuilt
In light of the spiritual renewal that God's people experienced, Nehemiah 11-12 looks at the fruit of this revival. This is seen through the repopulation of Jerusalem, the joyful worship of God's people, along with the setting up of necessary structures to ensure continuity of worship. All of these are only possible because of God's faithfulness towards His people, which led to the completion and dedication of the city walls.

Sermon series: Nehemiah: Rebuilding and Being Rebuilt
In the process of being rebuilt, the people have their part to play. They come back to God to renew their covenant commitments. They do this by confessing their sins, celebrating the faithfulness of God, and committing afresh to fulfilling their covenant obligations.
