Why do bad things happen to good people? What happens when your world goes off balance? What part does believing in God play in your life when nothing seems to make sense? Come and discover what God has to say about this through His own words – The Bible.Daniel Tse

Our confidence in our Bible will greatly affect the level of reliance we place upon it.Brett Hilliard

People die differently, because people live differently. In the last scene of Jesus’ life, He is surrounded by two thieves, both having equal access to see and observe Jesus. But their response is very different. How can we cultivate a tender heart, one that sees and receives all that Jesus has for us?…

The unexpected help from Simon of Cyrene on the way to the cross gives vast insight into the message and method of God in ways we might not have considered.Eric Farmer

The story of Barabbas is often overlooked because it is such a short story. Despite its brevity, Barabbas’s story holds deeper layers that go beyond being known solely as the one the crowds chose instead of Jesus. In this sermon, we embark on a journey to explore the untold aspects of Barabbas’s life, revealing surprising parallels that mirror our …

It’s possible to act like a christian, but not actually be one. It's feasible to be close to the things of God, but never actually have a converted heart. Judas serves as a stark warning that true conversion is always lasting.Brett Hilliard

Mary Magdalene is a very well known figure in scripture with very little known about her. She had the incredible honour of being the first person to see the risen Jesus, but that wasn’t their first encounter. Mary’s larger story is an encouraging one that gives us a perfect picture of what it means to be gratefully faithful.…

The way to greatness is backward. When the world tells you to base your life on achievement, income, image, or power, Jesus offers us a life-giving alternative.Brett Hilliard

Our negative assumptions about our family members prevent us from pursuing reconciliation, resulting in only a “disguised harmony” or even conflicts in our family. Learning from the reconciliation of Esau and Jacob, we should put our trust not in our own assumptions but in God’s power to change hearts, and practice “forgetful forgiveness”, because …

Lotus seeds represent the blessings of bringing forth offspring one after another. This applies to our spiritual community as we think about how to serve the community better. Today, we study how Barnabas multiplies spiritual leaders (Paul and John Mark) and how we, both as individuals and as a church, should do the same thing.…

Happy New Year! The desire for happiness is a universal phenomenon. But what gives you real long-lasting happiness? In this sermon, we will explore the surprise source of happiness that God has already shown us.Albert Ng

What is your relationship with money? Is it your master or a servant? A bridge or barrier between you and God? What is God’s design for money and what is his invitation to us on how to live in freedom with it?Kwen Ip

We all want to be more Godly. But it’s hard to know exactly what to do in order to be more Godly. We put our effort into trying many things, but are there specific things that we can place greater emphasis upon? We explore Peter’s letter to find out what those things are.Kevin Kusunoki

The world says “Get wealth!” to find your purpose. This pursuit enslaves us to greed. In contrast, the Word says “Get Wisdom!” When we apply it, we not only find a new purpose. In practicing generosity, we take hold of life!Gary Hoag

Prayer is foundational for our spiritual lives. This message focuses on how important it is to have intentional connections with God, giving scriptural principles and practical help.Rick Bates

Both science and theology tell us that our thoughts are powerful. Our brain synapses create neural pathways that make our thoughts more and more powerful, causing mental problems, or if nurtured by God, liberating joy.Brett Hilliard

How would you like to have the “eyes of your heart” enlightened this year? It’s a weird phrase, but it describes a prayer that all of us would benefit from—-the ability to increasingly view life in the realm that is unseen.Brett Hilliard

With the new year quickly approaching, many people take the time to set new goals for themselves. Some set goals to be physically healthier, others set goals to learn something new. But what about our spiritual lives? Are there ways we can grow spiritually as we head into the new year? We kick off this sermon series by looking at different rhythms …

As we exchange gifts to one another at Christmas, don’t neglect to see the gift that God has for you at this time.Brett Hilliard

What is the difference between hope and wishful thinking? And how do we access this “hope that doesn’t disappoint”?Brett Hilliard

Have you ever dreamt about your future? Or may be you already have a vision for your life? In this sermon we will look into the character of Joseph, Jesus' earthly father, and see what we can learn from his life and how he made room for God’s dream!Daniel Tse

Make room is a call to open up your heart and your life because of the King. As we enter into the Christmas season, we take a look at how God made a grand announcement of the coming King to lowly shepherds and their beautiful response to the news.Eric Farmer

Our Christian is a deeply personal faith, but we don’t stop there. God’s heart is for us to bring health and well-being to the people we are in touch with and even to the the city where we live and called home. So, what is God’s plan for us and the city?Albert Ng

In Hong Kong, families are struggling as couples shy away from having children while marriages face unexpected difficulties. Even though our homes are experiencing challenges, it’s important to remember that to God, families matter. Not only are they essential for the well-being and thriving of society, but they also play a vital role in advancing …

Over 60% of our waking hours are spent in the workplace. If we aren’t flourishing there, then we aren’t flourishing in life. Unfortunately, many people in Hong Kong have an adverse relationship with work. What is the solution to the problem of work? Work less? Work a job that you have passion for? Work a job that compensates well? In this sermon we…

A flourishing city is comprised of flourishing neighborhoods and workplaces, which is comprised of flourishing individuals. Your best contribution to a healthy city is a healthy you.Brett Hilliard

In this concluding message on the book of Habakkuk, we see the progression of a man who struggles well with his doubts and confusion. He lands in a place of genuine worship, with doubts still present, but a faith that is even greater.Brett Hilliard

We may often misunderstand God’s timing or His methods. The prophet Habakkuk did as well. But he learned that instead of letting confusion rule our hearts, we can find confidence even amid our doubts.Brett Hilliard

Let’s be honest. Sometimes God is hard to figure out. Sometimes our expectations are not met, and we are left confused, disappointed, and maybe even, spiritually numb. So what are we supposed to do with our doubts? How can we honestly turn our doubts into sincere faith?Brett Hilliard

In Luke 8, Jesus takes His disciples out on the water for an experiential lesson they will never forget. Distraught from a storm overtaking their boat, the disciples turn to Jesus as they witness His full humanity and divinity on display.Eric Farmer

It seems like an absurd question – ”Do you want to get well?”. But tucked away inside that probing question is an invitation to examine what our true motives are. To follow Jesus is to not just seek His blessings, but to recognise His lordship as well.

It’s easy to give lip-service to the idea that God provides. It’s another thing to actually believe it with our lives. How do we really grow our belief about the provision of God? In this sermon, we look at Jesus’ question “Do you still not understand?” to see if there is a secret ingredient to having greater faith.…

At the conclusion of the Sermon on the Plain in the sixth chapter of Luke, Jesus poses a poignant question to His listeners. In summary, He asks them, “You’ve just heard me give you clear commandments, so why do you not do what I say?” On top of that, His question puts every listener and reader on the spot by making us all ask ourselves, “Do I real…

Jesus asks His disciples, “who do you say I am?” It is a question that they struggle to answer with great clarity. We take a deep dive into their answers and examine what contributed to their misunderstandings, before we assess how we might also answer the question incorrectly.Kevin Kusunoki

Who among us doesn’t have moments of doubt? Does God hear all my prayers? Is Jesus really the only way? Is my salvation secure?Brett Hilliard

Spiritual stagnation plagues many Christians. The excitement and passion we once had for God slowly gives way to apathy and complacency. By looking at the story of Lydia, we try to discover the secret of her lasting fire and unwavering faith.Kevin Kusunoki

Drift always moves toward chaos. It takes intentionality and focus to ensure spiritual drift doesn’t occur in your life. Demas is a man who started well, and sadly ended in desertion. What can we learn from his life to prevent the same disaster in our own?Brett Hilliard

Some names are included in scripture as warning signs for us. Diotrephes is such a man. His ungodly character was a nemesis to Paul, and a stumbling block to the growth of the church. So don’t be like him. But first you’ve got to understand what makes him so unsavoury.Brett Hilliard

Do you feel encouraged or disheartened today? Are you an encouragement to those around you or do you discourage others? Come and learn from Barnabas, a micro character in the bible that has a major impact in the world. Come and discover the undeniably amazing power and influence of encouragement!Daniel Tse

We kick off the sermon series by looking at the life and actions of Onesiphorus. We will examine what he does that makes him such a loyal companion to the Apostle Paul and wrestle with what that might mean for our relationships today.

Are you content with how often you hear from God? Do you think it’s possible He’s speaking more than you are aware? How can we tune in, to make sure we are hearing all that God is saying as He leads us in this life.

As a follower of Christ, there is the possibility of living above the fray. Choosing to tether your sense of confidence in the goodness of God, rather than the goodness of life.Brett Hilliard

How does knowing Christ affect the way we talk? How does the gospel message change our conversation?Brett Hilliard

We know that gossip can be dangerous, but it also feels really good. Gossip helps us vent our frustrations and gives us something interesting to talk about. Is gossip really all that bad? And if so, how seriously should we fight against it? We look to the book of Proverbs to find wisdom about this neglected topic.…

We communicate with people every single day, but the person we talk to the most is ourselves. And the words we choose to speak to ourselves are some of the most powerful words we encounter. How do we formulate our thoughts? What lies are we telling ourselves and how can we overcome them with the truth? Today, we will look at a Psalm that deals with…

The ability to receive feedback well is the mark of Christian maturity. In this sermon, we will explore why people often reject feedback, and what we can do to improve our capacity to receive feedback well.Albert Ng

Our words make worlds. Whether good, bad, plentiful, or rare, the content from our mouths leaves lasting effects on those around us.Brett Hilliard

Baptism is a beautiful symbolic representation of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Today we will explore what it means that we have been baptised into the death of Jesus and united with Him in resurrection.Jessica Richmond, John Slosted

Today is the first of two Baptism Sundays! It’s always a great celebration in our church. While baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith, it is also a snapshot of a bigger story, or testimony, of what God has done in our lives. Today, as we celebrate the stories and baptisms of our brothers and sisters, we are going to look at two of the…

Many people desire to have mentorship relationships. However the sad reality is that many of us have no idea how to engage in that form of discipleship. We look to the story of Elijah and Elisha to learn about the building blocks of successful discipleship.Kevin Kusunoki
