| My Part In The End Times Revival |
Jun 30, 2009 | | Series: End Times Revival 5 of 6. Scripture: Joel 2:28-32. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Chong (Jun 28, 2009). An article in the Christian devotional, Our Daily Bread, dated 30 June 2009 states: “Almost every week we see news about a search-and-rescue mission. It may involve a child who wandered away from a family picnic and is lost, or a hiker stranded on a mountain, or people trapped in the rubble following an earthquake. In every case, the people at risk are unable to help themselves. Those who are found and saved usually have lasting gratitude for those who joined in the search and rescued them.” What part does the community of believers play during the End Times? What is God’s provision for this great and dreadful time? Find out in My Part In The End Times Revival. | |

Jun 23, 2009 | | Scripture: James 1:16-18. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Chong & Hiew Hong Teck (Jun 21, 2009). The names, Daddy & Papa, are universal in nature. They are one-size-fits-all labels. Behind these labels are great privileges and responsibilities. All those who bear them have at least a child who looks to them for protection, love, guidance, friendship, training, discipline, and so much more. How then can one be a better father or parent? God knows the responsibilities and joys of fatherhood because He's our heavenly Father. And as our Father He will give us what we need to care for our children. Join us as we learn some precious Fatherhood Lessons From God. | |

Jun 17, 2009 | | Scripture: 1 Peter 5:1-7. Speaker: Pastor Johanes (Jun 14, 2009). What am I getting out of life? That’s a question often asked by most of us living in today’s self-absorbed society. But have we ever considered asking: What am I putting into the lives of others? Years ago, Dr. Wilfred Grenfell served as a medical missionary in Labrador. On a recruiting tour, he challenged nurses at Johns Hopkins Hospital to join him for a summer in his difficult ministry. He promised them hardship and discomfort. He warned that instead of earning a salary, they would have to pay their own expenses. But he also promised them they would experience joy because “it’s having the time of anyone’s life to be in the service of Christ.” A nurse who accepted that challenge wrote this after her return from Labrador: “I never knew before that life was good for anything but what one could get out of it. Now I know that the real fun lies in seeing how much one can put into life for others.” If we change that word fun to blessing, we have the key to Christian self-fulfillment. Join us in discovering the keys to The Outstanding Life. | |

Jun 10, 2009 | | Series: End Times Revival 4 of 6. Scripture: Joel 2:18-27. Speaker: Pastor Lawrence Ong (Jun 7, 2009). One of the truisms of human nature is that we tend to discount the value of something until we lose it. The locusts years were God’s means to bring His people back to their senses. However, the discipline He exercised upon them was not the end, God also provided them with hope of restoration.

Jun 09, 2009 | | Series: End Times Revival 3 of 6. Scripture: Joel 2:12-17. Speaker: Michael Raditya (May 31, 2009). Not everyone is as fortunate as Alfred Nobel, who in 1888 read his own obituary in a French newspaper. One of his brothers had died, but a careless reporter had used a statement prepared for the wrong man. Alfred, the principal inventor of dynamite, was disappointed with the published account. He was described as a “merchant of death” who had made a fortune from explosives and human exploitation. This haunting image caused him to reevaluate his life and revamp his will. Consequently, his money has made possible awards for individuals who excel in making the world a better place. We call these awards the Nobel Prize. All of us have the potential of changing our future through the decisions we make today. Join us as we explore an oft neglected spiritual habit, repentance, in Repentance That Leads To Revival. | |

May 26, 2009 | | Scripture: Revelation 2:1-7. Speaker: Pastor Simon Eng (May 24, 2009). According to an article in The Wall Street Journal, some people in the US are building houses stronger than ever before. Hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes have caused billions of dollars in property damage in states across the nation. So, at the urging of businesses, government, and hard-pressed insurance companies, some builders are constructing fortress-like homes with windows that can withstand 130 mile-per-hour winds, roof nails so strong they can only be cut off, and framing material that can weather the tremendous forces faced by a supersonic jet. In Bolingbrook, Illinois, a community damaged by a tornado in the 1990s, a company is constructing such a “fortified” house in hopes that the idea will catch on. We who know that when it comes to building the church, God desires it to be strong and secure. Discover how we can do so in Strengthening Our Church.

He looked at her and said, "Yes, I know it's God ... but mommies help a lot!" Glen Wheeler said, "Through the ages, no nation has had a better friend than the mother who taught her child to pray."

May 05, 2009 | | Series: End Times Revival 1 of 6. Scripture: Joel 1:1-20. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Chong (Mar 3, 2009). Christian writer, Julie Ackerman made the following observation: "In books and sermons, Christians are often asked whether their faith is strong enough to withstand bad times. I'm wondering, though, if a better question is this: "Is my faith strong enough to survive good times?" I keep hearing about people who drift away from the Lord not when life is bad but when it's good. That's when God seems unnecessary." In The Problem of Pain, C. S. Lewis wrote, "God whispers to us in our pleasures . . . but shouts in our pains." If we refuse to listen when He whispers to us, He may use shouts to get our attention. These usually comes in the form of calamities or difficult circumstances in our life. In part 1 of our End Times Revival series, Answering God's Call For Revival, we would seek to discover how to hear God in our circumstances & respond to Him. | |

Mar 23, 2009 | | Scripture: Matthew 6:5-18. Speaker: Pastor Johanes (Mar 22, 2009). Prayer is one of the most important spiritual exercises for a believer. Jesus, the Son of God and Lord of all things, spent long hours in prayer while He lived on earth. In those extended encounters, Jesus communed with His Father. His prayers were not just petitions to get something. Too often we think of prayer as a way to get God to do things for us or for others, but the highest purpose of prayer is to deepen our relationship with Him. Find our what true prayers is all about in "Prayer & Fasting According To Jesus". | |

Mar 17, 2009 | | Scripture: Psalm 61:1-8. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Chong (Mar 15, 2009). Why do birds sing? Birds sing "because they can and because they must," says David Rothenberg, a professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. "Songs are used to attract mates and defend territories, but the form is much more than function. Nature is full of beauty, and of music." Birds sing because they have a syrinx instead of a larynx. The syrinx is the bird's voice box, an organ that lies deep in a bird's chest and is uniquely fashioned for song. That, at least, is the natural explanation for their gift. Why do Christians sing and worship? Discover the answers in "Why Praise? Why Worship?" | |

An excerpt from an article in Our Daily Bread reads: “A computer virus known as "The Love Bug" spanned the globe by e-mail, infecting millions of computers in less than 24 hours. It seems that even wary people like top software engineers couldn't resist opening a message titled simply, "I Love You."

A few days later the judge was about to give a stiff sentence to an arrogant young man who kept getting in trouble. But then he remembered what the minister had suggested. The judge said, "I looked this young man in the eye and told him I thought he was a bright and talented human being.

Jan 08, 2009 | | The Shepherd Series 1 of 5. Scripture: Psalm 23:1. Speaker: Ps Lawrence Ong. (Jan 4, 2009).
Security and significance are two essential elements of emotional health. If we feel we are safe from harm as well as safe from rejection and loneliness, we are blessed with those two essentials. Additionally, if we know that we are viewed with affection and appreciation by at least some of the people who matter to us, that gives us a sense of value.
Even the best of human love is insufficient to give us the security and significance we need. Why? One reason is that man's life is fleeting. People grow old and die, and love eventually comes to an end. Another reason is that in personal relationships, we know that people are sinful, fickle, and unfaithful.

One year to a ten-year-old is one tenth of his life. One year to a fifty-year-old is one fiftieth. For the ten-year-old a year seems like an eternity. For the fifty-year-old it's like only a moment.

Melbourne, Australia, is home to the Shrine of Remembrance, a war memorial honoring those who died for their country. Built following World War I, it has since been expanded to honor those who served in subsequent conflicts. It’s a beautiful place, with reminders of courage and devotion, but it is said that the highlight of the shrine is a hall containing a carved stone that simply reads, “Greater Love Hath No Man.” Every year on the 11th day of the 11th month at 11:00 a.m., a mirror reflects the sun’s light onto the stone to spotlight the word love.

In a Bible class one day, a teacher asked, “What was the greatest miracle in the Bible?” A weary young father of several pre-schoolers said, “It was when Joshua told the sun to stand still, and his sun obeyed him!” The Bible is full of miracles — the rescue of Israel from the Egyptians, the miracle of Jesus walking on the water, the countless healings by Jesus and his disciples, the feeding of the multitudes from a few loaves and fish, the coming of the Holy Spirit with tongues of fire on the day of Pentecost, and yes, the raising of Lazarus from the dead.

Whenever we move our cars too close to an obstacle, a shrill warning goes off. Some of us may not like its jarring sound, but it helps to alert us whenever we drive too near to obstacles thus saving us the heartache of seeing our cars scratched or damaged.

Oct 21, 2008 | | Priority Living-Haggai Series 3 of 5. Scripture: Haggai 2:1-9 Speaker: Pastor Jeff Chong (Oct 19, 2008) If you go to London and exit at the Baker Street underground station you would be greeted by a life-size statue of legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. Created by novelist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Holmes was an investigative genius who would routinely assess seemingly random clues and solve the mystery. Baffled by Holmes' uncanny brilliance, his sidekick, Dr Watson, would ask for an explanation - to which Holmes would glibly respond, "Elementary!" and then proceed to unfold the solution. Life can be baffling too and far more so than a Sherlock Holmes mystery. We struggle to figure it out, but we always seem to come up short. In times like these, it's comforting to know that we have a God who doesn't need to assess the situation - He already knows everything perfectly well. He never has to wonder or resort to inductive reasoning. Despite our finiteness, our lives rest in the hands of the One who knows all the whats, whys, and whens we'll ever face. As we trust in Him, He'll guide us in the path He desires us to take - and His way is never wrong. But having a head knowledge of this is one thing and living it out is quite another. Find out what it takes if we are to live life God's way in Living Out The Right Priority. | |

Oct 13, 2008 | | Priority Living-Haggai Series 2 of 5. Scripture: Haggai 1:12-15 Speaker: Pastor Johanes (Oct 12, 2008) A veteran mountain climber was sharing his experiences with a group of novices preparing for their first major climb. He had conquered many of the world's most difficult peaks, so he was qualified to give them some advice. "Remember this," he said, "your goal is to experience the exhilaration of the climb and the joy of reaching... the peak. Each step draws you closer to the top. If your purpose for climbing is just to avoid death, your experience will be minimal." The above advice applies to the Christian's experience. Jesus did not call us to live the Christian life just to escape hell. It's not to be a life of minimum joy and fulfillment, but a life that is full and overflowing. This abundant life is available to us when we choose to surrender our lives fully to Jesus Christ. However, God is not just concerned over our outward behaviours but also our motive and attitude. Find our why and with what kind of attitude should we allow God to direct our life priority in The Right Attitude Towards God's Priority.. | |

Oct 06, 2008 | | Priority Living-Haggai Series 1 of 5. Scripture: Haggai 1:1-11 Speaker: Pastor Jeff Chong (Oct 5, 2008) A fascinating film made in 1950, "The Next Voice You Hear", tells a story of a family with a typical amount of trials and tensions. Then, one night, the voice of God speaks on the radio. But not just their radio. God's voice is heard throughout the world on every radio, saying the same thing at the same time. At first people react with disbelief, then fear. After several days of hearing, "The Voice", however, people's attitudes, actions, and priorities begin to change. The impact of what God is saying directly affects how they live their lives. In part 1 of the Haggai Series, we will find out what God has to say about Setting The Right Priorities. | |
