Lessons on Faith // Hebrews 11:6 // Rev. Mike Van Prooyen

What kind of faith do you have? One that’s just in your head, or one that shapes how you actually live?
This week’s message explores the difference between inactive faith and active faith—the kind that aligns with God’s will, sees beyond what’s visible, and gives us access to grace in the hardest moments. Through the stories of Joseph, Paul, Peter, and Jesus, we’re reminded that faith isn’t just about believing—it’s about living with confidence in who God is, even when life feels uncertain.

We Know // Romans 8:28-30 // Rev. Nimrod Tica

Unshakable Foundation // Matthew 7:24-27 // Min. Kenneth Sy

Ready #7: The Right Mindset // 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan
