Keeping Pride in Check // 1 Peter 5:5-11 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

Pride has a way of slipping into our lives before we even notice it. This week’s message reminds us that real humility is not about shrinking back but learning to trust God’s timing, leaning on His help, rejecting the lies that inflate our ego, and remembering that every good thing comes from Him.It is a grounding reminder for anyone who wants to live with more peace, clarity, and purpose.

Forgotten by Man, Remembered by God // Genesis 40:1-23 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

We all like to be remembered. Whether it’s for something we did, the help we gave, or the kindness we showed—it feels good to know it mattered. But what happens when people forget?This message reminds us that even when others overlook the good we’ve done, God never does. His memory is perfect, His recognition eternal, and His love unwavering. When we root our worth in being remembered by Him, we find peace that no human approval can match.

Living in the Abundance of God’s Blessings // Rev. Jonathan Banzuelo

Sometimes we think of blessing as something we receive when life goes smoothly. But God’s blessings go far deeper than that. They show up even in hard seasons—through His presence, His purpose, His quiet work in our hearts, and His call for us to bless others. This message reminds us that lasting joy isn’t about getting everything we want, but growing closer to the One who never withholds what we truly need.

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses // Luke 5:1-11 // Rev. Victor Ramoy

Sometimes we tell ourselves we’re just waiting for the right time, but maybe we’re really waiting to feel ready, worthy, or sure. In Luke 5, Peter obeyed Jesus’ word even when everything in him said it didn’t make sense. That one act of obedience didn’t just bring a miracle; it changed his life. This message reminds us that the perfect time rarely comes, but God moves when we trust Him beyond our comfort and say yes, even with trembling hands.

Follow Me // Matthew 4:17-25 // Rev. Tony Yeo

The call to follow Jesus isn’t just an invitation to believe. It’s an invitation to be changed. When we say “yes” to Him, He begins to reshape our hearts, reorder our priorities, and draw us into His mission to bring hope and healing to others.

Millions in Mites // Mark 12:41-44 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

True giving isn’t about the amount, but the heart behind it. When we give with humility, intention, and joy, we reflect who God is and how much we trust Him. The widow’s quiet offering in Mark 12:41–44 reminds us that giving is more than an obligation—it’s an act of worship that draws us closer to God and allows us to take part in His work in the world.

Life Is... // Luke 12:13-21 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

We live in a world that tells us more is better, but Jesus reminds us that real life isn’t measured by what we own. Wealth can be a tool, but it can also quietly shape our hearts and priorities. This message invites us to examine where our security truly lies and to invest in what lasts.

Trust the Text // 2 Timothy 3:16 // Dr. Mark Yarbrough

Sometimes our faith feels like glowing coals buried under ashes—still alive, but faint. This message is a reminder that our spiritual fire can be rekindled when we return to the basics: bold trust in God’s Word. Scripture isn’t just ancient text; it’s God’s breath in written form, shaping us, giving us clarity, and equipping us for every good work.

God's Amazing Grace // Ephesians 2:7-9 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

We often forget how much of life is a gift. God’s grace is not only free, it’s also deeply satisfying and never-ending. When we see life through that lens, comparison loses its power, gratitude takes root, and we find the courage to live with greater purpose.

No Greater Joy // 3 John 1:4 // Dr. Jay Sedwick

It’s been said that parenting is the hardest work you’ll ever do, but also the most rewarding. This message reminds us that the home is the first classroom of faith and love, and that our influence—whether as parents, mentors, or friends—shapes how the next generation sees God.

Strike Them Now // Habakkuk 1:1-11 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

When life feels unfair and evil seems to get away unchecked, it’s easy to wonder where God is in all of it. Habakkuk wrestled with those same questions, and God’s response was both unexpected and reassuring. This message shows us why trusting God’s wisdom and justice--though often beyond our understanding--can bring peace and hope even when the world feels upside down.

Complaining About Blessings // Numbers 11:1-34 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

It’s easy to slip into complaining, especially in a culture used to comfort and convenience. But it often does more harm than we realize. The Israelites’ story reminds us how grumbling distorts reality, spreads negativity, and leaves us dissatisfied. Learning to shift toward gratitude can open our eyes to God’s goodness and help us experience joy no matter the circumstances.

Offer Your Bodies: A Missing Link to Spirituality // Romans 12:1-2; Matthew 26:31-45 // Dr. Timoteo Gener

We often think of spirituality as something that happens only in the heart or mind. But the Bible reminds us that true transformation touches every part of who we are—including our bodies. This message explores how our daily habits, reactions, and even physical routines can either hold us back or help us grow. And through practices like prayer, fasting, and service, God can retrain us to live in step with Him.

No to Entitlement // Luke 17:11-19 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

Entitlement can creep into our hearts so subtly that we don’t even notice it. We start believing we’re owed recognition, blessings, or special treatment. But Jesus shows us a different way—the way of humility and gratitude. This message from Luke 17 reminds us how small words like “please,” “thank you,” and “I’m sorry” can transform our hearts, our relationships, and even our generation.

The Value of a Friend // Ecclesiastes 4:4-16 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

Loneliness doesn’t always look like being alone. You can be surrounded by people and still feel unseen, unheard, unknown. We all long for friendships that are real, deep, and lasting—because that’s how God designed us. In this message from Ecclesiastes 4:4-16, we explore what makes friendships worth keeping, how to build ones that last, and the difference they can make when life gets hard.
