Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving GodIsaiah 12 is a song of praise in response to all God had done for His people in Isaiah 1-11. It shows us that with the coming of Jesus, we have a reason to praise because God’s anger has turned, His salvation has come, His deeds are proclaimed, and His presence is near.Preacher: Tan Huai TzeDate: 21 December 2025
Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving GodDespite the apparent hopelessness as a result of God's judgment, Isaiah 11 gives us a surprising image in the form of a shoot from the stump of Jesse. God promised the coming of a King, whose reign shall be marked entirely by justice and peace. This messianic King is now raised as a signal to the nations and is gathering people from everywhere to His kingdom.Preacher: Joel SimDate: 14 December 2025
Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving GodAs an instrument of divine judgment, Assyria was raised up by God as a rod of His anger against His people. At the same time, God will not allow His people to be completely obliterated. He will preserve a faithful remnant for Himself, as He had done in the past. For this reason, those who are faithful have no need to be fearful, even when affliction comes.Preacher: Joel SimDate: 7 December 2025
Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving GodBefore God brings peace and joy (Isaiah 9:1-7), He confronts the evil that destroys His world. Israel’s arrogance, stubbornness, and mistreatment of others invite His judgment—and so do ours. But Christ bore that judgment and offers us His mercy and peace.Preacher: Tan Huai TzeDate: 30 November 2025
Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving GodIn this passage, God meets His people with both firmness and warmth: He warns of calamity, but guides them through confusion, and gives them the hope of the coming light.

Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving GodIsaiah 7 tells of King Ahaz, who faced a crisis and chose fear over faith, trusting Assyria instead of God with devastating consequences. God still pursued him and then gave him the sign of Immanuel, pointing forward to Jesus. Christ bears our weight, lifts us to safety, and invites us to stand firm by trusting Him. To stand firm in faith is to stand firm on Christ. When we do so, we’ll stand firm in everything else.Preacher: Tan Huai TzeDate: 16 November 2025
Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving GodIsaiah 6 is an important pivot in the opening section of the book. As the prophet Isaiah beheld the holiness of God, he recognised that he is undone before the Lord. At the same time, God showed grace to the prophet and commissioned him for ministry to a rebellious people. If what happened to a man of unclean lips could happen to a nation of unclean lips, this gives us hope that God is not yet done with His people.Preacher: Aaron AkinsDate: 9 November 2025
Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving GodIsaiah 5 reveals a God who has lovingly cared for and richly blessed His people, planting them like a prized vineyard and providing everything they need to flourish. Yet instead of bearing good fruit, they produce only stinking grapes. Through six woes, God exposes how His people have corrupted His blessings and despised His Word, leaving judgment as the only fitting response. The chapter ends in darkness and distress, yet even here God’s judgment is not merely retributive; it is also restorative for those who turn to Him and put their trust in Christ, the true Vine.Preacher: Chua Si YangDate: 2 November 2025
Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving GodGod 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.Preacher: Tan Huai TzeDate: 26 October 2025
Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving GodGod’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.Preacher: Tan Huai TzeDate: 19 October 2025
Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving GodWhen 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.Preacher: Tan Huai TzeDate: 12 October 2025
Sermon series: Isaiah 1-12: Sinful People, Saving GodThe 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.Preacher: Chua Si YangDate: 5 October 2025
Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are AliveIn 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.Preacher: Joel SimDate: 28 September 2025
Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are AliveJohn 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.Preacher: Paul LeeDate: 21 September 2025
Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are AliveLoving 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.Preacher: Tan Huai TzeDate: 14 September 2025
Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are AliveThe 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.Preacher: Tan Huai TzeDate: 7 September 2025
Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are AliveThis 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.Preacher: Aaron AkinsDate: 31 August 2025
Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are AliveThe 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.Preacher: Joel SimDate: 24 August 2025
Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are AliveIn 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.Preacher: Tan Huai TzeDate: 17 August 2025
Sermon series: 1 John: Knowing You Are AliveIn 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 TzeDate: 10 August 2025
