I'm Here To Thrive Not Just Survive
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.
The Mystery of Mortals and Miracles
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.
Never Leave Home Without It
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.
God Uses Ordinary People
Pastor Margaret Pashley shares how God transforms and uses ordinary people to fulfil His extraordinary purposes. Through her journey in founding the Centre for Change in the Philippines, she illustrates the power of surrendering to God's call. Emphasising that real change only comes through experiencing Jesus, Margaret inspires believers to embrace their identity in Christ and live purposefully. She reminds us that every believer has a role in God's eternal plan, and our true worth lies in serving Him with our whole lives. It is a privilege, not a burden, to be used by God for His glory.
Written on the Hands of God
In "Written on the Hands of God," Ps Adrian reflects on Isaiah 49 to remind us of God's unfailing love, even in our lowest moments. Drawing from personal stories and heartfelt examples, he explores three divine images: a mother’s love, the engraving of our names on God's hands, and God’s continual remembrance of our brokenness. These truths affirm we are never alone, never forgotten, and always held in divine compassion. Even amidst suffering, grief, or failure, God listens, understands, and offers hope. Ps Adrian encourages us to trust in God's love and choose faith over despair, embracing the promise of restoration.
Baptism Service June 2025
Baptism symbolizes dying to our old life and being born again in Christ—a public declaration of inner transformation. Through powerful testimonies, we see how God faithfully pursues those who have wandered away from faith. Whether through family crises, athletic careers, or personal tragedies, individuals found their way back to God after realizing something vital was missing. Their stories demonstrate how God works most profoundly during our darkest moments, meeting us in our brokenness and offering transformation when we surrender our attempts to succeed through our own strength.
Rebuild The Ruins
Ps Fua reflects on Nehemiah 4:6–13 to encourage believers to restore what has been broken in their lives with God at the centre. He highlights the importance of prayer, purpose, and perseverance. We are reminded that a strong foundation in Christ is essential, and every person has a role in building God’s kingdom. The message challenges listeners to stand firm in times of struggle, support one another as a family in faith, and invest in the spiritual future of the next generation by trusting God's plan and actively walking in their calling.
Faith On Fire
In his Pentecost Sunday sermon, Pastor Adrian challenges believers to cultivate a “faith on fire” through three key foundations: generational legacy, godly influences, and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from 2 Timothy 1, he reflects on the importance of family faith, the impact of mentors, and the necessity of spiritual boldness. Believers are encouraged to fan into flame the gift of God, reject timidity, and actively pursue a Spirit-filled life. With heartfelt stories and exhortation, Pastor Adrian urges the church to live out a genuine, transformative faith that influences families, communities, and future generations.
Ask Seek Knock
In this sermon, Pastor Michael explores the teaching of Jesus in Luke 11:9–10, highlighting the importance of asking, seeking, and knocking as a three-step process in prayer. He encourages believers to maintain a childlike dependence on God by continually asking, to shape their lives through intentional seeking, and to take faithful action by knocking on doors of opportunity. Through personal stories, humour, and heartfelt conviction, Pastor Michael calls the church to an active and consistent relationship with God—one marked by trust, transformation, and obedience. This message inspires a deeper pursuit of God’s presence and purpose in daily life.
The Depth Of Your Devotion
In Luke 7, Ps. Adrian contrasts two individuals who encountered Jesus: Simon the Pharisee and a nameless woman labelled immoral. While Simon offered polite hospitality, the woman expressed deep love and humility, pouring perfume on Jesus’ feet and weeping. The sermon challenges listeners to examine their own devotion: Are we casual observers or truly surrendered followers of Christ? Through questions about our spiritual posture, treasure, and revelation of Jesus, Ps. Adrian reminds us that the depth of our devotion determines the direction of our lives. True transformation begins at the feet of Jesus, in full surrender and love.
When God Is Silent
In this moving sermon, Ps Pedro explores the seasons when God appears silent. Drawing on the lives of Joseph, Mary, Samuel, and Jesus, he reveals that God’s silence often means He is preparing us—the vessels—for what is to come. Rather than being absent, God is at work: shaping character, arranging circumstances, and teaching us to trust His timing. Ps Pedro urges us not to make hasty, flesh-led decisions but to wait patiently in faith. Even when we do not understand, God is working behind the scenes. His silence is not rejection, but preparation for greater purpose.
How To Persevere Like Hannah
This Mother’s Day message, delivered by Ps Alex, draws deep inspiration from the life of Hannah—a woman of anguish, prayer, and unwavering faith. In a world that often celebrates instant answers, Hannah’s story teaches us the power of perseverance in silence. With humour, honesty, and biblical depth, Ps Alex invites us to consider what it means to pray persistently, believe boldly, and surrender fully, trusting that God is working even when we do not see immediate results.
Shaped In The Shadows
In his sermon “Shaped in the Shadows,” Pastor Fua shares how God works most powerfully in the private, unseen areas of our lives. Drawing from Joshua 1:1–9, he emphasizes that true spiritual formation happens not in the spotlight, but in the background—through consistent, humble acts of service. In these quiet spaces, God forges character traits like humility, compassion, and integrity. Faithfulness in small responsibilities builds the trust necessary for greater assignments. Above all, serving with a pure heart draws us closer to Jesus, reminding us that our relationship with Him is more valuable than any outward accomplishment.
When Grace Silences Shame
Jesus confronts shame not to expose us publicly, but to bring healing through acknowledgment. While guilt focuses on wrong actions, shame makes us feel inherently defective and isolated. Through His divine authority, Jesus completely cancels our shame, offering permanent freedom that cannot be overruled by others' condemnation. This cancellation leads to transformation, allowing us to break free from sin's control and step into our true identity as children of God.
Grace Within The Garbage
God intentionally places His greatest treasures in seemingly fragile vessels—just as valuable items were once hidden in ordinary clay pots in ancient times. This divine pattern reveals how His grace transforms our brokenness, past wounds, and feelings of unworthiness into vessels of His presence and power. Our true worth isn’t measured by accomplishments, wealth, or good deeds, but by our willingness to receive the grace of Christ. When we embrace this truth, we discover hope and purpose even in our imperfections, knowing that God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness.
The question is: will you allow His treasure to dwell within you?
Generational Wealth
Building spiritual generational wealth requires intentional investment in authentic relationships across age groups. When different generations come together to share their faith experiences openly and honestly, powerful transformation occurs. Youth camp testimonies demonstrate how authentic worship and genuine connection lead to spiritual renewal. The key lies in creating spaces for different generations to connect, share wisdom, and support each other's faith journeys.
