By Brother Hanniel SinonGod is merciful even if we demand justice to be done. In Jonah 4, Jonah expresses his complaint before God. He is angry that God would be merciful to a people who didn't deserve it. But little did he know that it was precisely in his nature to act in such a way, for he is a merciful God.The big question of Jonah 4 is... how can God be just and merciful at th

By Pastor Sin Yu FeiIn Jonah 3, we witness the imminent destruction of Nineveh because of their wickedness. Although they deserved it, God in His mercy, sends Jonah as a mediator to warn them, giving them opportunity to repent. If they do, God would relent of the judgment he was going to bring upon them.Isn't this akin to the Gospel? Just as Nineveh faced judgment for their sins, w

By Brother Luzerne Cheng The disobedient prophet who defied God in Jonah 1 finds himself tossed overboard and in the heart of the sea. In the belly of the fish, Jonah reflects on the judgement from the God who is just. And also, God's mercy for the undeserving prophet. Yet Jonah 2 ends off with a puzzling end, where Jonah sinks into self-righteousness. Jonah 2 confronts our hearts

By Brother Raynor ChengWe have many surface reasons to disobey God, but the big root issue is that we do not fear God enough. How can we know we truly fear God? In Jonah 1, we see a prophet who fearlessly disobeys God, which results in God's supernatural storm.

By Pastor Paul Choo The book of Leviticus is filled with Costly Sacrifices, Clean Living and Constant Awe. 1. Costly Sacrifices - the sacrificial animals were first bled, then skinned, then chopped into pieces, then thrown into the endless flame of fire on the Altar to be completely consumed by the fire. This was a type of Christ’s bloody death at the hands of Jews and Romans (Is

Our final sermon in this 3-month Leviticus series ends with a call to obedience from God. We learn. 1. The Premise. The basis of obedience is a relationship with God, who delivered Israel from the Egyptian bondage. 2. The Persuasion. God offers rich blessings of prosperity, peace & His presence to His people if they should obey, with a language that resembles the Genesis accoun

By Pastor Sin Yu FeiAt the hill of Calvary where Jesus faced crucifixion, two criminals were also condemned to die alongside Him. While one scorned and ridiculed Jesus, the other acknowledged his own wrongdoing and repented.This compelling story emphasizes Jesus' readiness to extend grace and forgiveness to those who humbly admit their sins, repent and turn to Him, regardless of th

By Pastor Jason Lim The resurrection of Jesus Christ was the confirmation from God that Jesus successfully paid for our sins, and defeated death through His death. So how did Jesus die? And what did His death accomplish? 1.Painful Death. He suffered immeasurably- at the hands of man and most of all, at the hands of God the Father. His greatest agony was being forsaken by the Father

By Pastor Jason Lim Jubilee is to be a celebration in Israel every 50 years. On this special day, the trumpet sounds throughout Israel, announcing the emancipation of all Hebrew slaves, the return of all land to the rightful owners, and the proclamation of liberty for all. It is also a continuation of another year of Sabbath for the land. Jubilee also falls on the Day of Atonement,

By Pastor Jason Lim The 7 feasts of Israel mark 7 special times or periods for the nation to remember God by.They help the people to rest and to remember how God saved them, led them, provided for them, & forgive them.This yearly calendrical observance also marks them out as a holy people unto God.But from another angle (informed by the New Testament authors/ apostles), we
