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.

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.

Ready #10: Choose Wisely // 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

Life is full of choices—but not all choices carry the same weight. Some shape your day, others shape your eternity. This message reminds us that following Jesus means choosing Him daily, even when it’s costly—and that every decision, big or small, reveals who we’re living for.

Call to Action // Luke 24:36-53 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

Easter reminds us of the greatest victory: Jesus conquered death and offers us the ultimate prize—salvation and eternal life. But how often do we forget the joy of that truth? In this sermon, we explore how the resurrection calls us to believe, share the good news, and live with joy, showing us what it truly means to follow a risen Savior.

7 Last Words // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

What do someone’s last words reveal about who they really are? In this message, we look at the final words of Jesus and what they show us about His heart—a heart that forgives, saves, cares, sacrifices, understands, loves, and trusts God completely.This isn’t just a story from the past—it’s an invitation to know Him more deeply today.

When Life Gives You... // James 1:2-18 // Rev. JP Lim

When life gives you tangerines—or trials—what do you do? In this passage, James challenges us to see life’s struggles not as setbacks, but as opportunities for growth. God uses these moments to shape our character, strengthen our faith, and remind us where our true hope lies.

Ready #9: God's Wish // 1 Thessalonians 5:16-28 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

What does God really want for your life? More than just rules to follow, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-28 shows us that God desires something deeper—joy in your heart, a prayerful connection with Him, a grateful spirit, and a life shaped by His Spirit and holiness.

Ready #8: Back to Reality // 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15 // Dr. Stephen G. Tan

1 Thessalonians 5:12-15 gives us four key responsibilities as believers: keep order, pursue peace, be responsible, and show love. These aren't just church rules—they shape how we live, work, and relate to others every day. Which one do you find hardest to practice?
