Palm Sunday marks the beginning of the holiest time of the year, exposing the complexities of human life.

Life’s journey mirrors this tension, filled with victories and losses, joy and disappointment.

Service 6 April 2025

In Philippians 3:4-14, Paul urges believers to find their identity “in Christ,” not in traditions or past achievements.

Service 30 March 2025

Please access the video below 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 The Apostle Paul was not seen as a worldly success but embraced his weaknesses and suffering as transformative. Paul revealed his trials not to dramatise his pain, but to highlight God's power perfected in weakness. The Corinthians, focused on outward success and power, found Paul's life of discomfort and trials unappealing. Despite their perception, Paul boldly shared how God worked through his weaknesses, showing that true strength and glory come from God. Like Gideon's story where God chose the weak to deliver Israel, Paul’s focus on Jesus’ death and resurrection reflects that God's strength is revealed in human smallness. Paul challenged Corinthians to look beyond appearances, trusting in God's transformative power. He proclaimed believers as "new creations in Christ," urging them to live by God's power, not their own. God's plan involves creating something entirely new, working through our weaknesses and smallness to fulfill a greater purpose.

Service 23 March 2025

Paul’s message to the Corinthian church is highly relevant today, especially for individuals living in wealthy, individualistic societies. In 1 Corinthians 10:1-13, Paul reminds the Corinthians to learn from Israel’s wilderness journey, where their disobedience led to disastrous consequences. He cautions against selfish freedom, using the example of eating meat sacrificed to idols, which was socially acceptable among the rich Corinthians. Although they believed their faith made them immune to idolatry, Paul warns that their actions could harm others in the community. Paul encourages them to give up certain rights for the sake of others, trusting that God blesses those who live as examples of faithfulness, like some biblical characters who remained obedient in the wilderness. Living as an example is about trusting God’s power, not worldly value and status. Paul calls Christians to glorify God through their commitment to the higher purpose and meaning, transforming individual’s weakness and failure into blessings for the whole community.
