What does the Bible say about sex? In this sermon, Jacintha preaches from 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 and 7:1-7 to provide a framework on how to approach the subject of sex. The encouragement for anyone struggling with regard to sex or their sexuality is that hope, healing, freedom, and fulfilment can be found in the person of Jesus. 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, 7:1-7
How much money do you actually want to have? It's a strange question, but it cuts right to the heart of what we treasure, fear, and hope in. In this message from 1 Corinthians 15:54–16:3, Abel talks about Paul's teachings on the resurrection and on financial giving. If we know we've been given everything in Christ, it changes how we hold what we have here on earth. 1 Corinthians 15:54-16:3
What if the boundaries you're avoiding are actually the blessings you're looking for? In this first message of "Boundaries and Blessings," Abel opens 1 Corinthians 10 to unpack five simple questions for making wise decisions - in money, sex, and power - from a place of true freedom. 1 Corinthians 10:23-31
In this message on Jacob’s midnight encounter in Genesis 32, Kenneth, YuShen, and Sarah explore what it means to stay engaged with God through our doubts, pain, and life struggles. Discover how clinging to Him with unpolished honesty—rather than pulling away—can break our self-reliance and transform our deepest wrestling into a source of divine blessing and new identity. Genesis 32:22-32
Dan unpacks how living an unshakeable life is less about strength, and more about surrender. This sermon takes a journey through Psalm 23, and how it mirrors the lives we live. Psalm 23
In Matthew 13:44–46, Jesus tells two short parables about a hidden treasure and a priceless pearl. Though one person stumbles upon the treasure while another searches diligently for it, both arrive at the same conclusion: the Kingdom of God is worth giving up everything for. In this talk, Hannah Steele explores what we truly value and whether we've discovered the treasure that transforms everything.
Have you ever wondered how to stay centred, grounded, and rooted amidst change, chaos, and confusion? In this sermon, Jacintha preaches from Paul’s letter to the Colossians on what it means to be rooted in Christ and raised in community. Colossians 2:6-15, 3:12-15
Did you know, our Bible is filled with dreams of the future – entire books are written about visions that God gives His people. By one count, about 27% of the Bible is predictive – which means more than 1 in 4 verses in the Bible is prophetic and visionary. Dreams are like snapshots of the future we have in our minds – our hopes for what could be. But what happens when those dreams don’t happen, or when our dreams become dread? In this talk, Abel preaches on the life of Joseph, and the journey of a dream. Genesis 37 - Genesis 50, Genesis 50:19
Numbers 13:27-28;30-33 Numbers 14:7b-9
In this Father's Day message on Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Alvin addresses a deep anxiety shared by many: that the next generation will abandon their faith. Discover how passing on our faith starts with us, and flows out through a slow, daily carving of love in our most ordinary rhythms. Deuteronomy 6:4-9
What if the rest Jesus offers isn’t an escape from work, stress, or responsibility? True rest is not found in checking out of life, but in being freed from the striving that weighs down our souls. Jesus doesn’t offer a yoke-less life - he offers his yoke: one that is easy, well-fitted, and carried alongside him. When we stop striving to prove ourselves and start walking with Jesus, we find the rest we were created for. Matthew 11:28-30
In this two-part sermon series on work and rest, Abel kicks us off with a vision for work and rest from Genesis 2. Where is the place of work in the world that God created, and how can we find true rest in a world of restlessness? Genesis 2:1-15
Dan unpacks one of Jesus’ most famous parables looking at our journey through life, the decisions we make, our motivations, and what really drives us. Luke 15:11-32
Have you ever longed for power, freedom, and peace? On Pentecost Sunday, Jacintha speaks about the Holy Spirit. He is a pacesetter, peacemaker, and freedom fighter and he empowers us to do the same for the places we are called to. John 20:19-23 Acts 2:1-4 Acts 1:3-5
What do you do when you're trapped or facing battles, with no way out and no strength left? In this message from Exodus 14, Abel Cheah unpacks 3 things God does when the odds are stacked against you. Spoiler: the Lord will fight for you. You need only to be still. Exodus 14:13–31
What does God think of mothers — and what do mothers reveal about God? This Mother's Day, we open Luke 1 and sit with two remarkable women: Mary and Elizabeth. One young, one old. Both overlooked by the world. Both chosen by God. Their story gives us three things mothers do that the whole church needs.
Easter is behind us. Pentecost is on the horizon. In between , we find Jesus on a beach asking the disciple who denied him three times, three simple words “Do you love me?” This week, we dive into John 21 to explore how the love of Christ restores us, calls us and empowers to persevere by his Spirit for everything that comes next. John 21:15-19
What is the purpose of the Bible in light of the reality of Easter?How do the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ guide our encounters with him in the Gospel of Mark? In this sermon on Mark 1:40-45, we ask God to minister to us through his holy word, by his Holy Spirit. We reflect on the empowered and proximate love of Christ and his command to yield to him as Lord. As an “Easter community,” we want to walk in the life-giving way of the Son of God. Mark 1:40–45
In this talk, Feng explored the significance of the event when Jesus and Peter walked on water from Matthew 14:22-32. This sermon also looked at how Jesus revealed himself in different ways through this supernatural event. Matthew 14:22-32
In this message on the Road to Damascus in Acts 9, Alvin explores what happens when Jesus intercepts us and challenges us to move past our pride and our fears. Discover how saying "yes" to God’s nudge, even when it’s the last thing we want to do, can transform us into a community of broken healers for our city. Acts 9:1-19
On the road to Emmaus, 2 downcast disciples encountered the risen Jesus without recognising Him. In this Easter message, Abel speaks about how Christ meets us on the road of disappointment, walks with us in doubt, and reveals Himself in ordinary moments - turning despair into hope and sending us back with renewed purpose and burning hearts. Luke 24:13-35
On Good Friday, Jacintha asks the questions: is God powerful enough to save us, and is he loving enough to want to? The answer lies in the cross, and Jesus’ sacrifice and great exchange. John 19:23-30, Mark 15:16-34
On Palm Sunday, we remember that the last week of Jesus’ ministry began with Jesus making a highly visible – as well as unusual – entrance into the city of Jerusalem. Mark unpacks what Jesus’ actions that day say about who he is and what he comes to do. Matthew 21:1-11
What does it mean to lead like Jesus in a world cynical about leadership? In this message, Abel speaks about how Jesus made disciples through four simple movements: Reach, Recruit, Raise, and Release. Learn how ordinary people can become transformative leaders by walking with others and helping them follow Christ. This sermon is part of a 2-part series with the launching of HTBB’s Discipleship Framework: https://www.htbb.org/discipleshipjourney Matthew 4:18-22
What does it look like to truly follow Jesus; not just know about him, but obey him? In this panel conversation, Abel sits down with Senior Pastors Shawn Kong (Every Nation Church Malaysia) and Isaac Ling (SIBKL) to talk about their personal discipleship journeys, the joys and pains of making disciples, and what they believe God is calling the Malaysian church to in this season.
