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.

Hope in the Waiting // Psalm 130:1-8 // Min. Kenneth Sy

Waiting can feel like the hardest part, especially when there’s no clear end in sight. But what if hope isn’t just something you find after the waiting is over? What if it’s something God wants to grow in you while you wait? This message from Psalm 130 walks through the kind of hope that doesn’t ignore the pain, but anchors you through it with honesty, grace, and deep trust in God’s promises.

Vengeance is Mine // Judges 15:1-20; Romans 12:17-21 // Rev. JP Lim

When someone wrongs us, it’s so easy to feel that payback is the only way to make things right. But have you noticed how revenge rarely fixes anything? It just keeps the hurt alive. What if there’s a better way to respond? A way that leads to peace instead of payback?

A Wake-Up Call // Acts 5:1-11 // Rev. Victor Ramoy

Sometimes it takes a wake-up call to remind us what really matters. When we get caught up in appearances, when applause feels more satisfying than obedience, or when small compromises feel harmless, it’s easy to forget what’s at stake. But God’s wake-up calls aren’t meant to scare us. They’re His way of calling us back before it’s too late. What if He’s been sending you one all along?

Humility to Obey // Philippians 2:5-11 // Dr. Neil Ty

Ever notice how hard it is to obey when it means letting go of your own plans, status, or comfort? This message is a reminder that following Jesus isn’t about clinging to our own importance. It’s about emptying ourselves like He did. True humility is the doorway to obedience…and to being used by God in ways we never imagined.

A God-Kind of Change // Deuteronomy 10:12–22 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

What we believe about God should change how we live. His majesty calls us to honor Him in every part of our lives. His love moves us to love the people He loves. His faithfulness invites us to trust Him—even in seasons of uncertainty. Deuteronomy 10:12–22 reminds us of who God is so that what we know about Him moves from head knowledge to heart transformation.

Loving the Unlovable // Hosea 3:1-5 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

Loving the unlovable isn’t natural, but it is possible. Through the story of Hosea and Gomer, we’re reminded that God's love doesn’t give up, even when we do, because it is a love that is unconditional, sacrificial, and transformational. And when we truly experience that kind of love? It gives us the strength to love even those who’ve hurt us.

True Success // Colossians 3:1-17 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

What if success isn’t about how far you get in life, but who you’re becoming along the way? In a world that tells us to chase status, wealth, and recognition, God invites us to a different kind of success—one shaped by character, peace, thankfulness, purpose, and faithfulness. This message helps us re-center on what truly matters and reminds us that we’re not defined by the world’s standards, but by God’s.

Awakening // Genesis 5:21-24 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

Ever felt like life was nudging you to wake up and live differently? Sometimes it’s a new responsibility. Sometimes it’s a crisis. But often, it’s that quiet realization that you were made for more—that your life speaks, whether you realize it or not. What does it mean to live with purpose, walk closely with God, and make your life count in ways that truly matter?

Fulfill // Colossians 4:17 // Rev. Eyriche Cortez

You were made to play a part in something bigger than yourself—and it starts right where you are. God has entrusted every believer with something meaningful—something that can make a real difference in everyday life, not just in church. Your talents, gifts, skills… even your life story, including past mistakes, are all part of how He can use you to serve others and point them to Him. This message unpacks how to discover what that looks like, how to stay faithful even when no one’s watching, and why your story (yes, even the messy parts) still matters.

Lessons from Little Ones // Mark 10:13-16 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

Sometimes we make faith harder than it needs to be—like we have to earn our way in or have everything figured out. But in Mark 10:13–16, Jesus reminds us that what He’s looking for is something much simpler: childlike trust. This message is a gentle reminder that you’re never too far, too flawed, or too late to come to Jesus. His arms are always open to anyone who comes with a heart ready to receive the grace He freely gives.

Ready #13: A Help or a Burden // 2 Thessalonians 3:6-18 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

Some people lift a community up. Others quietly wear it down. Which one are you? This message challenges us to reflect on how we contribute to the spaces we’re part of, whether in church, at home, or at work. Learn what it really means to be a help, not a burden, and how love sometimes means stepping back so God can do the work.

Ready #12: Transformational Prayer Requests // 2 Thessalonians 2:13–3:5 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

We often ask God to make life easier. But what if real growth begins when we start praying harder, riskier prayers? Bold, “dangerous” prayers go beyond comfort and surface-level needs. They stretch our faith, reveal what’s truly in our hearts, and invite God to do deep, transforming work within us. In seasons when we feel stuck, distracted, or unsure, these kinds of prayers can realign us with God’s purpose and lead us into a more vibrant, surrendered walk with Him.

Ready #11: Deception Games // 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

Have you ever believed something that felt right, but turned out to be wrong? Life is full of voices and influences, and not all of them point us to the truth. In this message, we talk about how to recognize spiritual deception and why it's so important to stay anchored in God's Word. If you've ever felt confused about what to believe or just want to grow in discernment, this one's for you.
