A continuation from the previous sermon, Pastor Kong Hee shares out of Teresa of Avila's book, The Interior Castle, a vision of the human soul in its spiritual growth and on its journey towards union with God.
The castle of the human soul has seven mansions. With each mansion, the soul comes closer and closer to God. Each mansion is a greater detachment from something that hinders our union with God. As we allow the Holy Spirit to bring about greater detachment in our lives, we will come into a deeper union with God. -
In this sermon, Pastor Kong Hee shares out of Teresa of Avila's book, The Interior Castle, a vision God gave to her about the human soul in its spiritual growth and on its journey towards union with God.

Godâs glory is best demonstrated through our pain and suffering. While we often seek miracles to escape our struggles, true faith calls us to persevere through them. Suffering and problems are meant to refine us, transform us, and reveal Godâs glory through us; so we must never doubt His love, even when we do not feel it or understand what we are going through. In Christ, may we find grace to endure suffering and become who God calls us to be.

Jesus taught His disciples to pray, âOur Father âŠâ This focuses on recognising that God is our loving Father. While we can boldly ask for our needs, our prayers should align with God's will, trusting in His timing and wisdom. Within this framework of a Father-child relationship, we can come before Him with our needs and have confidence that not only does He hear our repeated prayers, He will answer in ways that develop our character and faith.

As believers, our source of hope is in God's unchanging character and promises. With an unwavering hope in Him, we can have endurance as we go through trials, and abiding joy as we trust in His plans for us. Truly, Jesus is hope for the rejected, the hopeless, and the depressed. In moments of despair, may hope be our anchor; in times of joy, may it be our attitude of gratitude!

All throughout the Bible, God often used ordinary, flawed, and fearful people; people who were willing to say âYes!â to Him. One such person is a lesser-known disciple named Ananias, whose simple obedience to God's call led to Saulâs (Paul) conversion, impacting generations as a result. When we say âYes!â to God, it releases faith, restores hope and rekindles love in usâeven in challenging situations. Let our âYes!â to God transform us as we partner with God to leave a lasting legacy for generations to come!

In Matthew 20, Jesus taught His disciples that the true path to greatness in the Kingdom of God lies in having childlike humility and serving others. To serve effectively, we must grasp four essential truths. First, serving God requires the right postureâone of humility and a willingness to serve. Second, serving people brings happiness, as selfless acts lead to joy. Third, serving is the key to greatness, opening doors to divine favour. Finally, serving others is, in essence, serving God Himself.

Walking with God is an important concept in our faith, symbolising our lifestyle and relationship with Him. Walking with God involves, first of all, believing that God is and that He rewards those who seek Him; secondly, obeying Godâs Word and taking action; and thirdly, continuing to walk in the Spirit. Let us make an intentional choice and have a conscious mindfulness of God's presence, that will guide us to live according to His ways and draw us closer to Him.

As believers, do we worship God because of the blessings He can provide, or do we worship Him purely out of love and devotion? From the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4, we can learn what it means to be a true worshipperâone that worships God in truth, and from the heart. May we be true worshippers, living our life conformed to God's Word, empowered by the Spirit, and expressed in genuine love and devotion to Jesus.

In the Bible, names are important; this is even more true of the names given to God. More than 6,800 times, God has revealed his personal name to usâ"YHWH". The name âYahwehâ is beautiful because it reveals His love, friendship, and covenant-keeping nature.
In this sermon, Pastor Kong Hee shares about Jehovah Tsidkenu â the LORD our Righteousness. Through Christ, we receive the abundance of righteousness and grace to reign in life! -
The power of God's Word is likened to seeds sown into various types of hearts (grounds). It emphasises that despite our heart conditionâwhether hardened, thorny, or shallowâGod continuously sows His Word, preparing us through breakthroughs and crises. The Word, like rain and snow, nourishes and transforms us even in difficult times. As we open our hearts to receive from God, may His Word bear fruit in our lives, yielding 30-fold, 60-fold, and 100-fold!

Jesus taught His disciples that true greatness is achieved through servanthood and a childlike humility. While pride has to do with seeking independence from God, overestimating oneself, and having a sense of entitlement; true humility is about being childlike, dependent on God, and recognising our weaknesses. As we allow God to deal with our pride and wrong attitudes, may He bring healing and restoration of childlike humility back into our hearts once again!

Isaiah 63 speaks about the Spirit of God, who faithfully watches over His people. "In all their distress, he too was distressed" (v. 9). When our hearts are troubled, we must (1) trust in the Spiritâs unceasing support; (2) trust in the Spiritâs constant presence.
Be strengthened in your faith as you listen to this encouraging word by Pastor Bobby Chaw. -
Human nature often leads us to forget God's blessings and goodness. Yet, reminding ourselves of God's faithfulness, especially during difficult times, strengthens our faith and helps us look forward to the future that He has in store for us. The benefits of remembering what God has done keeps us humble as we acknowledge that He is our source of all things. Remembering also gives us strength as we remind ourselves that God is a promise-keeper and He will see us through!

We delve into Matthew 18:1-3 to explore the essence of childlike faith and wonder in our Christian walk. As we reflect on the transformative love and trust that God puts in us, may we understand the need to maintain a sense of awe and joy in the Lord, and in doing so, reignite your passion for the divine and embrace the marvel of being a child of God!

In this sermon, we explore the transformative journey of self-reflection and growth through God's love. 2 Corinthians 3:18 emphasises the need to adjust our spiritual walk as we gaze into our spiritual mirror; while Matthew 22:34-40 and 1 John 4:7-8 call us to love God wholeheartedly and people fervently. Through self-reflection and service, may we deepen our faith, and align our actions with our theology. Allow God to stretch our minds, as well as our hearts to love the lost.
