    True Freedom By Pastor John Mateos Ong

     | 10,967 views

    True freedom is when we realize that we are free because we are freed by the Lord.

    There are two definitions of the word FREE, one means having no price and the other one means freedom. So if we think about it, what does being free really mean? What does true freedom really mean? There are times when some of us feels like we are not truly free, like we are still forbidden to do ...read more

    The Call: Come By Pastor John Mateos Ong

    Contributed by John Ong on Nov 16, 2017
     | 8,152 views

    God offers us a great banquet that sometimes we doubted for being too good to be true, but we can prove to ourselves that our Lord’s offer is far more than what we thought if we only surrender to him and accept His calling.

    Many of us have been blinded by unnecessary things that life itself offers. Prestigious car, jewelry, and a feast of delicious food are just some of what we believe are the best things to receive and attain in our lives. And because of these unnecessary things that we tend to value, we have ignored ...read more

    We are living in a generation of ingratitude. People take gratefulness for granted. Are we raising an ungrateful generation? Are we moving from a grateful generation to the entitled generation?

    Walk By Faith By Pastor John Mateos Ong

    Contributed by John Ong on Dec 5, 2017
     | 4,797 views

    As the Bible said in Deuteronomy 7:9, He keeps His covenant of love to thousands of generation for those who love and keep his commandments. So if we strive to keep our faith to Him, if we walk by faith with Him, we will be more like Him each day.

    Take a moment to imagine if God was like some of the world’s worst leaders, those who killed someone that doesn’t obey them or their program. Can we just imagine if God was like Hitler who killed almost all of the Jews, or like Mao Tse Tung who does not only manipulated and tricked his people just ...read more

     | 3,323 views

    More and more people are leaving local institutional churches and pick and choose their spiritual diet on social media. Evangelism, and belonging to a local body of believers is on the increasing decline!

    When the smallest cell in the body is under attack, it brings the demise of the whole. For as long as I can remember, there has always been a tension between the local church pastor and the staff of parachurch organisations. Parachurch organisasions work outside and across denominations to ...read more

    Life is filled with uncertainty. We make plans, but circumstances shift. We set goals, but obstacles rise. Sight shows us impossibilities, but faith shows us God’s promises. That’s why Paul declares, “We walk by faith, not by sight.”
