  • 1226 - 442. Caught Up In God's Story (Week 4) // Josh Yeoh

    “What if all this was so that your life would create a context for someone else to come into his destiny? Would you still do it?” - @yeohjo In the final week of “Caught up in God’s story” series, we had the honour of having Josh Yeoh, who shared his journey of how God gave him a word to sow seeds of prayer movement into the local church, yet challenged and remade him into a man that will lay down his dreams and step away from self-actualisation and help others come into their destinies. Sharing from the relationship of Jonathan and David, Barnabas and Paul, where the former had godly contentment in taking the backseat and fully investing in the interest and the assignment of the latter, brought God’s purpose to pass and the Antioch Church was established. He left us with this question: Who are the people, ‘David’s’ and ‘Pauls’ in our lives that we would step aside to, give our resources, time and energy and lay down our lives for so we could build them up for success? Ultimately, the Antioch church can only be build through: 1. A diverse body with different gifts and talents and we are not to dismiss those whom we think are less. 2. A culture of fasting and praying, where we are filled with a holy discontent and be awakened to things in God we would otherwise go without. 3. Identities found not in the sending but in being set apart for the Lord. As we close this sermon series, may we pray for the desire to be set apart for His kingdom and live out God’s story in our lives.

  • 1225 - 441. Caught Up In God's Story (Week 3): Compassion - Don't Leave Home Without It // Eugene Seow

    “Prayer is key to developing a heart of compassion.” - @eugeneseow12 We had the privilege of having Eugene Seow with us at service, for week three of the “Caught Up in God’s Story” series. Sharing from Matthew 9:36, Eugene spoke about the compassion Jesus had for the multitudes, and Jesus’ call for harvesters even as the harvest is plentiful. Yet, the biggest hurdle holding the church back from reaching out to the lost is compassion. Developing Jesus’ heart of compassion requires us to: 1. Open our eyes to see the crowd 2. Open our hands to meet their needs and 3. Open our hearts to ask God to grant us His heart for the lost We hope you were blessed and inspired by the word to take decisive action and pray into how we may meet the needs of the communities around us as the body of Christ.

  • 1224 - 440. Caught Up In God's Story (Week 2) // So-Young Kang

    “Our call as Christians is ultimately to equip & disciple nations, no matter our vocation. Our jobs themselves do not really matter that much; what truly matters is what we are doing our jobs and our tasks unto.” - @soykang_ In week 2 of “Caught Up in God’s Story”, we had one of our very own, So-Young, to share with us on how God moved in her life, turned ashes into beauty, and ultimately led her to her life’s calling with the founding of Awaken Group and Gnowbe. When we consider what our calling is in life, we usually think it is tied to a certain job or vocation. But, So-Young reminded us that each person’s calling is their unique talent that God has given, and how we can use that unique talent and serve together with others as one Body with one shared mission. As she shared her story, she also spoke on how everything that we have been through has been deposited in our lives for a reason. In her life, out of pain, purpose was birthed. God does not waste anything. When we go through painful experiences and difficulties, God does not want us to just go through them, but rather what He does is to redeem our pain and transform it into our gift, turning ashes into beauty. Ultimately, what God is after is us and our hearts. In our lives, may we do every task and job we are given with excellence unto God, seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness in everything we do.

  • 1223 - 439. Caught Up in God's Story (Week 1): Come and You Will See // Heidi Tan

    Kicking off the “Caught Up in God’s Story” series, we had the honour of having Heidi Tan share with us on the work she does at Habibi International, a humanitarian organisation in Iraq, and her life story on how she felt called to be in the mission field to serve communities on the margins. In her sharing, she spoke on how as she waited to be out in the mission field, she learnt what it truly meant to “delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give your the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4), where as we spend time with the Lord and delight ourselves with Him, we become more aware of His heart’s desires, and that shapes our heart’s desires to align with His. She also spoke from John 1:35-42, where we read that John’s disciples, Andrew and Simon Peter, followed Jesus. In that passage, the conversation between Jesus, Andrew and Simon Peter captures some key questions that still hold true to this day as we search for a deeper purpose in our lives and our walk with God: 1. What are we looking for when we decide to follow Jesus? 2. Do we know where God is moving, and where His heart is? 3. How can we be a part of what God is showing us? No matter where you are in your walk with God today, we pray that we will be willing vessels, ones who know God’s heart and make all of our lives available for God to move in and through us for His good works.

  • 1221 - 438. Immeasurably More: Immeasurably Strong (Week 9) // Andre Tan

    “We are a visible, tangible reminder to the forces of darkness that their power is broken and their end is near. The church gathered is a prophetic statement that God’s Kingdom is advancing, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” - @andrejosiah In the final sermon of our Immeasurably More series, Ps. Andre spoke on being Immeasurably Strong from Ephesians 6:10-20. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians reminds us that we are not merely passive recipients of God’s grace, but active participants in a cosmic struggle. The great lie we have to confront as followers of Jesus is that we are not susceptible to spiritual warfare, or that we remain ignorant of how we are supposed to fight against an unseen realm of deeper spiritual forces. As the church, may we be reminded to live as a light in the darkness, and to continually seek the Holy Spirit for wisdom and discernment - wisdom to navigate the complexity of this unseen reality and discernment to see beyond the surface of our everyday struggles.
