    Our Great Example Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 7, 2022
     | 2,789 views

    Paul directs our focus to the example Christ set for us, the endurance and encouragement that God gives us, the beauty of our diversity and the purpose of God in our unity.

    Paul has been talking about caring for the weaker brother in the faith, urging the strong to act responsibly and flaunt their freedom and become a stumbling block to the weak. • The strong ought to walk in love and that means laying down their rights for the good of the weak. • The benefit of ...read more

    Sermon # 5 - No Fear In Obedience Series

    Jonah chose to disobey God and ended up in a tumultuous storm. Are we walking in obedience to God and His word or are we trying to compromise and please people? Here’s a word of caution from the life of Jonah that if God is against us, there is no one who can save us.

They therefore, feared that the ship would be wrecked, their goods destroyed and they would lose their lives in the process. I am ...read more

    This sermon explores discerning divine truth from deception, and defending against the devil's schemes, using wisdom from 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

    Good morning, beloved. In the words of the great Charles Spurgeon, "Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right." How fitting are these words as we gather today to delve into the depths of God's Word, seeking wisdom ...read more

    Our worship of God is not merely a good thing to do; it should be the goal of our life. Worship is often treated casually, when it should be at the center, at the core of our life. The Scriptures plainly teach us that worship is to be first priority in ou

    The reformation gave rise to many denominations, including the baptists. In this lesson we see how reformed theology is an important part of baptist history.

The goal of this course was not to cover every historical event in the past 2,000 years, as that would be beyond our grasp. But instead, it was to show the clear consistent ...read more
