Pergamum was a place filled with hostile influences. When Christians are tempted to let go of Christ, we must learn to hold fast.

When persecuted, take courage because Jesus knows, Satan is limited, and your suffering will be worth it.

It may surprise you to find out that gratitude to God can affect your obedience to God in other areas of your life. Especially in the sphere of relationships with others. In fact, there might be a direct correlation between your relational sanctification as a Christian and your active thanksgiving to God. The latter can greatly improve the former!…

The sign of a faithful church is enduring love for Jesus.

God disciplines the one he loves, and he disciplines the one he loves in order to make the one he loves more holy. If you are experiencing the discipline of the Lord, do not try to figure things out on your own - go to God in humble repentance and worship him.

To really understand what’s happening in the world, we need to see the presence of the risen and glorified Jesus.

Chronicles functions as the capstone sermon for the entire Old Testament. It provides an inspired commentary on God’s great works from creation to the return from exile, inspiring firm hope that all God’s promises to his people (represented by the royal line of David) and about his place (God’s special revelatory presence in the temple) will indeed…

We need to learn what’s really happening in the world so we can live with God’s blessing.

Rev. Dan MacDonald preaches from Philippians 4:4-7; Ephesians 6:10-12, 18-20.

Share in suffering for the gospel.

Maybe you are at a point in life where you do not really know what to do. Maybe you are wondering what you should be focusing on, or maybe you are wondering what decision to make. Thankfully, God’s Word tells you what you should decide to do, and the answer is actually quite simple.

Rev. Dan MacDonald preaches from 2 Timothy 2:1-5.

Jesus is the helper of his people now and for eternity.

Psalm 91 expresses a calmness arising from the intimacy of one’s relationship with God. In the face of threats, the psalmist finds the Lord to be his dwelling place. Thus, he is confident, through all manner of dangers and challenges. He trusts in the Lord, not in himself or in his own resources; and he feels safe in the protective care of the Lord…

Rev. Tarak George preaches from Acts 2:42-47.

Hope not in yourself but preach hope to yourself, again & again.

Rev. Stephen Ahn preaches from Revelation 3:14-22.Di Stephen Ahn

Once upon our time, in a land not too far away, there were two people who needed a redeemer. God, the same God who reigns today, provided them with a redeemer - and they lived happily ever after. If you want to live happily ever after, you need a redeemer too. And God, the same God who provided these two people a redeemer long ago, has provided a r…

When people oppose you, remember that God is greater and cares for you, and then give thanks to him.

Graham Hynds preaches from Revelation 3:7-13.Di Graham Hynds

When facing overwhelming trials, find your security in God, focus on your eternal home, and look to Jesus, not your problems.

We are experts at incorrectly classifying what offends God and what does not. Thankfully, He has supplied us in the Bible with a carefully curated list of what counts as a sin. A taxonomy of sin, if you like. Albeit a very toxic taxonomy! Knowing what will send you to hell forever is important.

When God seems far away, preach to yourself and turn to him for help.

Rev. Dan MacDonald preaches from Revelation 3:1-6.Di Dan MacDonald

Don’t fret, but trust God when evil people get ahead and you don’t.

Rev. Kingsley Lai preaches from Revelation 2:18-29.Di Kingsley Lai

Learn about God’s goodness in the midst of suffering. But don’t just learn about it; experience it yourself.

Rev. Tarak George preaches from Revelation 2:12-17.Di Tarak George

Rev. Tarak George preaches from Revelation 2:8-11.Di Tarak George

Rev. Kingsley Lai preaches from Revelation 2:1-7.Di Kingsley Lai

The Bible might be summarized as detailed instruction on how to worship the Living God instead of pathetic and lifeless idols. What Israel fell prey to so often in their history was this “return to Egypt” mindset; going back to the fake gods of their former oppressors and thinking life (“nothing but leeks and onions!“) could be found there. God mus…

Rev. Kingsley Lai preaches from Revelation 1:1-8.Di Kingsley Lai

Rev. Stephen Ahn preaches from Luke 15:1-3, 8-10.Di Stephen Ahn

If you are a student, or you were one, you have likely heard of essays. And if that word conjures up a host of bad memories for you, how about this phrase: “thesis statement?” That thesis statement was supposed to appear in the first paragraph of your essay, telling the reader what you were about to… tell the reader. It was a way of stating what yo…

Embrace your gender in every area of your life.

Rev. Dan MacDonald preaches from John 15:1-11.Di Dan MacDonald

What are the odds that a girl like Ruth will be provided for and protected by the sovereign God of the universe? It is not up to odds. Her life is not up to chance. Her life is held in the hand of a sovereign God who is working out His plan for Ruth and for you.

Hold on to dignity, but don’t lose the differences between men and women.

Sin, not God’s original design, has damaged the relationship between the sexes.
