The story of Zacchaeus reveals a powerful transformation from selfishness to generosity. Despite his wealth and success as a tax collector, Zacchaeus felt empty until he encountered Jesus. When Jesus invited himself to Zacchaeus's house, everything changed. After spending time with Jesus, Zacchaeus freely chose to give half his possessions to the poor and repay those he had cheated four times over. This wasn't forced but flowed naturally from his transformed heart. His story shows us that true blessing comes not from accumulating wealth but from becoming a conduit of God's generosity to others.

God has bigger plans for your life than what you're currently experiencing. Through Isaiah 54, we learn that God calls us to enlarge our lives and prepare for His abundance, even in seasons that feel barren. His desire for expansion isn't just about buildings or numbers, but about transformed lives and lasting impact. God's grace removes shame and opens doors for greater influence. The expansion He desires includes reaching more people with His love, building a legacy for future generations, and living for His glory rather than our own comfort.

When life feels locked up and impossible situations surround us, we need three powerful keys to breakthrough. First, pray until heaven moves - not casual prayer, but desperate, earnest crying out to God like the church did for imprisoned Peter. Second, take the next step God shows you, even if it seems small or ordinary, because obedience opens gates that seemed impossible to unlock. Third, believe and expect God to move even when it doesn't make sense, because breakthrough often comes in unexpected ways. The same God who freed Peter from prison with double chains and sixteen guards can unlock whatever feels trapped in your life today.

God redeems us not just to save us from our past, but for a purpose. Rahab's story demonstrates four key aspects of a redeemed life: not being constrained by your past, taking courageous steps of faith, considering others before yourself, and changing destinies. Despite being a prostitute in Jericho, Rahab's faith led her to protect Israelite spies, save her family, and ultimately become part of Jesus' lineage. Her example challenges us to move beyond comfort-focused faith and embrace the mission God has for us, making an eternal difference in others' lives.

God introduces His servant in Isaiah 42:1 as one who is chosen, strengthened, and pleasing to Him. This prophecy, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, reveals three keys to faithful service: understanding we are chosen for a purpose, serving in God's strength rather than our own, and living to please God above all else. True servants show compassion to the vulnerable and persevere through challenges without seeking attention. Being chosen by God doesn't mean avoiding suffering but standing firm in our identity and purpose even when life gets difficult.

Discovering your God-given purpose requires three essential keys: humility, love, and service. Humility forms the foundation, positioning you to receive wisdom from experienced leaders. Love powers your purpose, creating a presence that naturally draws others to you. Service expresses your purpose, as Jesus taught that true greatness comes through serving others. One divine encounter with God can transform everything, breaking chains that seem impossible to break. As you walk in your purpose, beware of pride, offenses, and comparison – weapons that can destroy your calling. Remember to align your service with the vision of your church leaders for maximum impact.

Connection is a powerful force that can transform lives in our ever-changing world. True connection goes beyond superficial interactions—it requires intentional engagement that builds relationships and shares hope. As carriers of hope, we can influence others through simple actions like genuine smiles, encouragement, and sharing scripture. God's Word serves as our foundation, helping us overflow with hope through the Holy Spirit. By making scripture a daily habit and creating meaningful connections through small actions like one-on-one conversations and shared meals, we can carry hope to those who desperately need it.

At the centre of this message is a Father whose love crosses every barrier. In the well-known parable, the Father runs to meet the returning child, embracing and restoring them with signs of belonging—a powerful picture of welcome home. The sermon challenges “contract thinking”: the idea we must earn our way back or settle our debt. God does not bargain; he invites us into a covenant marked by promise and steadfast love. We’re also cautioned not to stand nearby yet miss his heart, like the dutiful sibling who couldn’t rejoice. True change flows not from routine or rule-keeping but from receiving grace and sharing it. The invitation is simple: come home, be restored, and live as sons and daughters who reflect the generosity we’ve received.

Faith is described as a race that requires endurance, focus, and community. We are called not simply to admire the examples of past believers, but to live out that same steadfastness in our own time. To do this, we must first be tenacious in our walk with Christ, laying aside sins and distractions that weaken us, and pressing on with determination even when life becomes difficult. Secondly, we are to be transfixed on Jesus, making Him the centre of our vision and the foundation of our joy, rather than being drawn away by temporary pleasures or discouraged by hardship. Finally, we are encouraged to be twisted together with Christ and His people, cultivating both a deep personal relationship with Him and meaningful bonds within the community of faith.

The story of Joshua at Jericho teaches us that sometimes our blessings initially appear as problems. God had already given Jericho to Joshua before the walls fell, demonstrating that our victories are secured in God's eyes before we see them. Like Joshua, we must accept God's Word as true, develop spiritual sight to see beyond our circumstances, and take action based on faith. Our breakthroughs come not because of our abilities but because of God's faithfulness to His promises. When we align our prayers with God's Word and persist in faith, we will eventually experience the blessings He has prepared for us.

Drawing on Acts 5:15, Ps Katrina urges us to let our “shadow” — the overflow of Jesus’ presence — impact others. She outlines three movements: pursue God’s presence so influence flows naturally; let simple acts speak louder than platforms; and persevere through failure and seasons of invisibility. Using a sponge object lesson and Peter’s story, she shows how proximity to Jesus saturates lives with hope and healing. Stories of Rachel’s witness and Nicole’s playgroup illustrate quiet faithfulness. The message closes with a call to surrender, trust God to redeem our past, and live so our lives point people to Christ.

Pastor Fua’s message, “How to Have a Faith that Doesn’t Quit”, explores Matthew 15:21–28 through the story of the Gentile woman whose persistent faith transcends silence, rejection, and cultural boundaries. He presents three key movements: remain faithful when God seems silent; persist in asking even when you feel spurned; and surrender personal pride, aligning with God’s heart. Her humility and unwavering trust are met by Jesus with healing and commendation. The sermon affirms the celebration of culture, while emphasising that our truest identity is in Christ. We are invited to cross boundaries, embrace one another, and gather at God’s family table.

In Transformed in the Nick of Time, Pastor Adrian explores the powerful moment of transformation experienced by the criminal on the cross beside Jesus. Using 2 Corinthians 3:18 and Luke 23, he highlights four key elements for spiritual transformation: a catalyst for change, closeness to Jesus, a repentant heart, and a lasting relationship with Christ. Through personal stories and biblical insight, the sermon encourages believers to stop striving in their own strength and instead embrace God's grace. True change, Pastor Adrian teaches, comes not from effort, but from encountering Jesus and allowing His Spirit to shape our lives.

In "I'm Here to Thrive, Not Just Survive," Ps Fua challenges believers to deepen their roots in Christ amidst life’s hardships. Drawing from Jeremiah 17, he contrasts shallow, surface-level faith with a rooted, fruitful life anchored in God. Trusting the Lord means embracing the journey—even when it’s slow, painful, or uncertain—and allowing God to shape us through struggle. Fruitfulness isn’t about appearances but endurance, trust, and quiet strength that shines in dark seasons. Ps Fua reminds us: don’t rush the process; grow in it. A thriving life draws from God’s Spirit daily and becomes a testimony to others.

Ps Adrian explores the tension between human suffering and divine miracles, using the story of Lazarus in John 11. He highlights four key truths: God's purpose is greater than our pain; even when His plans are unclear, we should pursue Him; the ultimate promise is not an outcome but the person of Jesus; and His power remains present today. Through heartfelt examples and scriptural insights, the sermon invites believers to trust Jesus amidst uncertainty, to hold firm in faith, and to find hope in Christ—the resurrection and the life—regardless of life’s trials.

Ps. Michael emphasizes the vital role of God's Word in the life of every believer, comparing it to a spiritual multi-tool. He highlights three key purposes: it brings light to guide us, ignites faith within us, and equips us to fight life’s spiritual battles. Through personal stories and biblical insight, he challenges the church to go beyond surface-level engagement with Scripture. Rather than relying only on digital convenience, he encourages believers to internalize and memorize the Word. It’s not just a book—it’s a weapon, a guide, and a spark. Don’t just carry it—be equipped by it every day.
