In 1 Samuel 5, God refuses to be managed, positioned, or controlled. This message invites us to ask:Where have we placed God instead of bowing before Him?What discomfort might He be exposing rather than removing?And are we trying to move God… or meet Him in obedience? Discover the freedom that comes when control ends and surrender begins.
The Apostle Paul reminds us in Galatians 6:7 "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows." If not in this life, but certainly on the day of judgment we will all face the consequences of things we have done whether good or bad - or have left undone.This Sunday, as we learned from 1 Samuel 4:2-22, we reviewed what Israel, Eli as its high priest and Eli's sons did which were displeasing to the Lord, the near term consequences they and others faced as a result, and the long term ramifications of their sins.It is a sobering reminder and encouragement to live our lives in light of eternity.
When the world is unstable and chaotic, God remains a stable, solid rock. He is a fortress of protection and calls upon us to trust and rest in Him.Psalm 46 encourages us to look to our God when a crisis arises. In Him, we have peace despite turmoil.
This Sunday we explored 1 Samuel 3:1–21. We learned about how God called the boy Samuel in a time when the word of the Lord was rare.We saw the importance of learning to listen humbly to God’s voice, the serious consequences of Eli’s failure to restrain sin in his household, and the beginning of Samuel’s ministry as Israel’s final judge and first prophet.
Even in times of spiritual failure, God remains holy, watchful, and at work. As sin unfolds in the house of God, He does not look away—He lovingly warns, justly corrects, and quietly raises up faithful servants to carry out His purposes.This passage teaches us that in seasons of spiritual failure, God’s plans are not shaken. His holiness calls us back to reverence, and His providence assures us that He is still guiding His people with wisdom and care.
What happens after God answers our prayers?Hannah’s song in 1 Samuel 2 reminds us that faith is more than testimony—it is a growing relationship. This message reflects on how faith matures from need into love, and from love into rest, learning to trust God’s sovereignty and finding contentment in His presence.
In our barrenness and brokenness, God can bring life.
Can God’s sovereignty go hand in hand with our responsibility? Do God’s providence requires our obedience?As we start our new series, Yusup Lifire taught us that The book of First Samuel reveals God’s providence at work in a times of uncertainty and spiritual decline. As God faithfully guides His people through imperfect leaders, common people and unexpected events, He calls them to listen to His voice and walk in obedience. Faithful obedience invites blessing; disobedience brings consequences.As God fulfills His promises, He calls His people to trust Him, listen to His voice, and respond with faithful obedience. This book reminds us that God’s providence never excuses passivity—rather, it summons us to live responsibly under His sovereign care.
In Sunday's message, Hendra Suhartanto reminded us that life is short, and every day matters more than we realize.Come! Let’s explore together God’s call to live with eternal purpose in light of our limited time on earth.Drawing from Romans 12, Psalm 90, and the Great Commission, this message challenges us to stop drifting, renew our minds, and live transformed lives that intentionally make disciples.As a new year begins, discover how God wants to use your remaining days—not for comfort or conformity, but for lasting impact that reaches souls and glorifies Christ.
Ebenezer means stone of help which will us to declare and remember God's help and faithfulness in our lives especially over the past year.
As we come to the end of our advent series we look to the fulfillment of the promises of God of Peace, Hope, Love and Joy through the birth of Jesus.However, the first coming of Jesus points us towards his second coming and all the promises of God in Christ will only be fulfilled with his second coming.We come to look at what God promised his people through Isaiah, to what has been fulfilled through Christ's first coming and what are still to come to help us reflect on what is it that we are still looking forward to and what we should be building our hope on.
Why do so many people feel empty during the season that promises happiness and festivity?Because true joy is not found in gifts, traditions, or celebrations — it is found in a Savior.In this Christmas message from Luke 2:8–14, we will explore the difference between being merry, being happy, and experiencing the deep, unshakeable joy God announced through the angels: “Good news of great joy for all people.”Discover how Jesus brings light into our darkness, peace into our chaos, and hope into our emptiness — and how this joy can overflow into generosity, worship, and transformed lives.Come and rediscover the joy that cannot be bought, manufactured, or lost…because Joy has a name — Jesus.
While the world searches for the ever-elusive perfect love story, God has written the perfect love story before creation even began.Before the foundation of the world, the eternal GOD - Father, Son and Holy Spirit – live in perfect overflowing love.Before there was sin, before there was law, before there were sacrifices, before there was a nation, there was love.And it’s out of that love that He created us, pursued us, redeemed us, and called us to Himself.As we draw near to celebrate Jesus’ birth, we are going to walk through the most famous verse in the world. There are many verses in Scripture that believers cherish deeply, but none is more universally known than John 3:16. But sometimes, because this verse is so familiar, its depth becomes invisible.Nevertheless, here we find the motivation behind the incarnation. We find the reason Jesus was born. We find the foundation of the Christian faith, the hope of humanity, and the revelation of God’s deepest desire. That is His love.
Discover the true meaning of Christmas in “The Peace That Must Be Shared”—a powerful message about how the Prince of Peace saves us, sustains us, and sends us.While the world longs for relief from anxiety, guilt, and brokenness, real peace is found only in reconciliation with God through Jesus Christ. From the angels’ proclamation in Luke 2:14 to Christ’s call to be peacemakers and soul-winners, this sermon reveals how the peace we receive must become the peace we share.Come be reminded that Christmas is not just a season to celebrate, but a mission to fulfill—bringing others to the Savior who alone can make them whole.
From God’s first promise in Eden (Genesis 3:15), to Isaiah’s vision of a light shining in the darkness, to the angel’s announcement to Mary, Scripture shows that Jesus is God’s long-awaited answer to our deepest needs.In His birth, the true Light enters our world, and in His return He will make all things new.
In this sermon, Tommy Lee walked us through as we explore what it means to live with a Gospel mindset—a way of seeing and engaging the world shaped by faith, love, and hope in Christ.Drawing from Colossians 1:3–8, we’ll see how the gospel transforms not just what we believe, but how we live, love, and bear fruit in every aspect of our life.
Are you content in whatever circumstances you find yourself?Or are you dissatisfied with your life?Please join us this Sunday to hear why God may want you to be exactly where you are in regard to you marital/family status, job/career, or financial situation - and the dangers we may face if we are not content with where God has placed us!
As John Ng joined us this Sunday, he shared with us that emptiness is part & parcel of our Christian experience. It comes in all shapes & sizes: unanswered prayers, deep pains, financial insecurity, business collapse, economic disasters, or loneliness of dying, etc.Where is God in all these? How can we flourish in these seasons. Learn from the prophet Habakkuk…’Though the fig tree does not bud…I will rejoice’ Hab 3:17
In Sunday's message, Lee Khen Seng taught us that waiting is one of life’s hardest lessons—but it is also one of God’s greatest tools for transformation.In seasons of delay, confusion, or silence, God is not absent; He is actively shaping our faith, renewing our strength, and aligning our hearts with His perfect will. Isaiah reminds us that “those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles.”In this message, we will explore how biblical figures like Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Jesus, and Paul flourished in their seasons of waiting—and how we, too, can turn waiting into worship, trust, and fruitful service.Discover how active waiting, not passive waiting, leads to spiritual renewal and a deeper walk with God.
Suparno Adijanto joined us on Sunday to remind us that life is full of transitions: career changes, moving cities, marriage, parenting, children leaving home, leadership shifts, even spiritual seasons.Israel faced a time of transition when moving from Moses to Joshua.How can we flourish—not just survive—in seasons of transition?
