How should we understand the Mosaic laws today? What is their relationship to The 10 Commandments? Are they still applicable for us today? Come and discover from this all-age family service sermon. Pastor Edmund Fong preaches from Exodus 21:1-23:19.
Despite finding themselves to be in society's outer circle — increasingly rejected and persecuted — the Apostle Peter writes to encourage his readers then and us today that we have been chosen to be in God's inner circle through Christ the living stone. Peter also shows us the privilege and responsibility that comes with being God's chosen people. Pastor Edmund Fong preaches from 1 Peter 2:4 -12.
Pastor Edmund preached from Exodus 7-11 and reminded us of that the 10 Plagues reveal that God is serious about his Covenant with his People, and He fights for his people against their Enemies, finally, God’s hand of salvation is also His hand of judgement.
Jesus tells us what to expect as we wait for his return.
Pastor Edmund Fong preaches from Luke 21:5-38.
Joseph meets his brothers after a good 20 years and instead of exacting revenge forgives them. How is he able to do so? Come and listen to Pastor Edmund Fong preaching from Genesis 45:1-15.
Revelation 4-5 shows us this is the central thing we do in the heavenlies above. If that is so, what happens in the heavens above (worship) must certainly be so in the earthly reality and in our lives below. God is worthy of our worship, because of who he is and the fact that he is our creator and redeemer. Pastor Edmund Fong preaches.
Come and learn about whether Christians should take part in customs and festivals, and if so, which ones? Pastor Edmund Fong preaches.
The Psalmist pens a wedding song to the king that speaks of the glory and majesty of the Royal Bridegroom. When read throughout Israel’s history, Psalm 45 would gradually point from the historical Israelite king (monarchy period) to the Messiah who would come (exilic and post-exilic period). For the Church today, the psalm points us to the glory and beauty of Christ, the royal bridegroom, of whom the Church is his bride.
Come listen to Pastor Edmund Fong preaching from Psalm 45.
The Psalmist struggles with feeling downcast, and because the Psalms is the Word of God to us, downcast-ness is a legitimate feeling to have before God! More than that, we are reminded what to do in times when we are downcast — keep hoping in God and his steadfast love. Pastor Edmund Fong preaches from Psalm 43:1-5.
How’s Your Walk? Even as Paul has shown us our well-being in Christ in Eph 1 to 4:16, from 4:17 onwards he shows us how this well-being is to be translated in our daily walk in Christ. Pastor Edmund Fong preaches from Ephesians 4:17–5:21.
Paul shows in Eph 3:1-13 that God has revealed his mystery that through and in the church, God’s manifold wisdom will be revealed to the spiritual authorities in the cosmos. This sets us thinking about whether as a church, we have lived up to the reality of who we are in Christ. Come listen to Pastor Edmund Fong preaches from Ephesians 3:1-13.
We must learn the same lesson Jonah learns in chapter 2: Salvation comes from the Lord. And it is a salvation that comes when we were disobedient and under God’s judgement. Come listen to Pastor Edmund Fong preaching from Jonah 2
God reveals Jesus’ death in John’s Gospel to be a death that fulfils Scripture and all that Jesus is and does in John’s Gospel so far. Jesus’ death finally glorifies God by revealing who God is in his glory and splendour — the one who is simultaneously the humiliated and exalted one. Pastor Edmund Fong preaches from John 19:16b-42.
If the phrase "what goes up must come down" displays a truth for us, then it could be said that "what comes from above must go back up" is a truth for the gospel of John. In this gospel, we meet Jesus Christ who has come from the Father to reveal God's glory and who must return to the Father and glorify God. Most of all, Jesus reveals God's glory and glorifies God through his death and resurrection. Can we see this is who Jesus is? Pastor Edmund Fong preaches from John 12.1-11.
How do we measure our blessings? Ephesians 1:3-14 reminds us that in Christ Jesus, God has blessed us in every way! We have been chosen, redeemed, revealed with the knowledge of where this whole world is heading towards and we have been given assurance that we belong to God. In Christ, we have been blessed in every way! That is how we should see ourselves and one another who are in Christ. Pastor Edmund Fong preaches "Blessed in Every Way" from Ephesians 1:3-14.
Micah speaks of Israel’s downfall and rise in chapter 7. The only reason why Israel can rise again after her downfall is because of who God is — he is the God of compassionate love and mercy. Similarly, we who have experienced downfall in our relationship with God can rise again because of who God is and what he has done for us in his Son. Pastor Edmund Fong preaches "Downfall and Rise" from Micah 7.
God reminds us in the book of Obadiah that he is still the God over the proud, be they individuals or nations.
As we turn to Mk 16, the gloomy scene of the death of the Lord Jesus turns to one of hope, where we see Jesus resurrected by God in fulfilment of what God had promised Jesus and what Jesus had promised his disciples. Yet, strange enough, this scene is met by one of fear rather than faith. The question for us is: as we are reminded of Jesus’ resurrection this Easter, is our response one of faith (and hope), or one of fear? Pastor Edmund Fong preaches.
As Jesus enters Jerusalem and goes to the temple in Mark 11:1-25, he acts in a manner contrary to the people’s expectations. In this way, Mark 11:1-25 challenges us in terms of our own expectations of who Jesus is and what he has come to do — will we receive the Messiah and Lord based on our own expectations, or will we receive him for who he truly shows himself to be? Pastor Edmund Fong preaches.
As we end one year and start the next, let God's Word from Philippians 3:1-11 remind us where our confidence is to be found in. Pastor Edmund Fong preaches this New Year's Eve sermon.
