He breaks down the difference between sinful people-pleasing and biblical people-pleasing, noting that believers should seek the spiritual good of others rather than their personal approval.

In this Mother’s Day message, Sis. Paula Tung offers a heartfelt word of encouragement to mothers and spiritual figures, reminding them that God calls for faithfulness rather than perfection.

In a special message on missions, Pastor Michael Mauricio explores how God wants us to engage with missionary work, using the biblical account of the twelve spies as a foundational lesson.

Pastor Sonny continues last week’s message on Paul’s warning in 1 Corinthians 10 to "flee from idolatry," exposing how this sin is fundamentally rooted in self-worship.

Ultimately, believers are called to reject modern individualism by submitting to the supremacy of Christ and living sacrificially for the sake of the church community.
In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 10:14–22, Pastor Sonny explores why the Apostle Paul issues the urgent command to "flee from idolatry".

Whether you are feeling weary or burdened by life's distractions, this message provides the biblical wisdom needed to stay on your sovereignly assigned course and finish the race faithfully.
Bro. Philip Llapitan explores the profound contrast between the sincere generosity of Barnabas and the deceptive hearts of Ananias and Sapphira to reveal what God truly values in His people.

Ultimately, the message is an invitation to move beyond obligation and support the mission of the Gospel with a heart fully surrendered to Christ.
In this week’s message, Bro. Jesse Hollington explores the profound purpose behind life’s difficulties, reframing them as "sanctified trials" designed to draw us into a deeper intimacy with our Creator. By examining the life of the Apostle Paul and the immutable nature of God’s goodness, he challenges us to stop viewing trials as obstacles to be removed and instead see them as the very process through which we are transformed. Ultimately, we are reminded that God is not just the provider of good things, but is Himself the ultimate Good and the only source of true satisfaction for our souls.
