Blessed Christmas! Christ is born! At our Christmas service today, elder Chris talked about how hope often gets associated with our dreams and our desires. How does the story of a baby born in a barn relate to hope? This Christmas hope is not a hope that is a simple wish/desire. It’s a biblical hope. …
The King has come! We celebrated the birth narrative of Jesus today, aptly, one week before Christmas, with much adoration for the one true King who has come for all peoples and nations. As Yi Khen, one of our covenant partners at GCC preached through Mat 1:18-2:12, we saw how Matthew imbues the story of …
Chris Abner, one of our Elders at GCC preached through Mat 1:1-17 in a message titled “What’s In A Name?” Matthew begins with a recap à la “Previously, in the Old Testament…”, by giving us readers a long list of names — a genealogy. But why? What do these names teach us about who Jesus …
Today’s sermon on Malachi 3:13-4:6 began with a question many of us might have contemplated before: “Why do the wicked prosper?” Unfortunately, we have put ourselves in the place of God, to insist that justice be done in the way we want, when it is actually we who have all been unfaithful to God, and …
The passage of Scripture we heard from today is Malachi 2:17-3:12. We looked at how the fact that God doesn’t change provides God’s people with a hope that assures, and fuels our desire to obey. As much as it is a source of comfort, it is also a source of warning because His judgment is …
Nick Gonyea, one of our covenant partners at GCC preached on Malachi 2:10-16. We learned that the problem with unfaithfulness is when we go against God’s design of a covenant community where relationships are built for trust, honesty, peace, loyalty, support, care, and love for one another, but instead deal with each other treacherously in …
Kyle Essary, one of our covenant partners at GCC preached through Malachi 1:1-2:9. We learned about how God rebuked the Israelites for their false worship, and how they continued to question God’s love for them despite His steadfast commitment to them all along. God rejected Israel’s heartless offerings, because they defiled what ought to be …
“Does the Big Mac come from Village Park”? This morning, elder Andy posed this obvious question to drive home the basic idea that good trees make good fruit and bad trees make bad fruit. We looked at the final part of the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 7:13-29, where we see that the sign …
One of our elders, Massimo preached from Matthew 7:1-12. The sermon today was divided into 3 parts – judging, asking and doing. Just because we sin differently from someone else, it doesn’t give us the moral high ground to judge another. We also learnt about how sometimes, even though we’ve checked our hearts and removed …
Chris Abner, one of our elders, preached from Matthew 6: 19-34 and challenged us to answer two questions: “What do we treasure?” and “Who do we trust?” How do we know what we treasure? Look at what we spend our money on, and what we spend our time on. We invest in what we treasure. …
