Returning to our study of Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, Pastor Sonny kicks off a new mini-series discussing what it truly means to be a spiritual person. Rather than measuring spiritual maturity by specific gifts like prophecy or speaking in tongues, Paul reminds the Corinthian church that the true evidence of the Holy Spirit is the shared confession of Jesus Christ as Lord. Discover how our common identity in Christ eliminates spiritual superiority and unites every believer as an equally valuable part of God's church.

Following his participation in a Missionary Conference in Fort Worth, Texas, Pastor Sonny explores the theme of sharing the Gospel to unreached languages through the account of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11, when human pride and rebellion led to God's judgment, confusing humanity's language and scattering the nations. Pastor Sonny traces God's redemptive plan to undo this division — beginning with His promise to Abraham and culminating in the saving work of Jesus Christ and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost in Acts 2. Ultimately, Pastor Sonny challenges the church to participate in God's mission by bringing the Gospel not just to every nation, but specifically to every unreached language group so that all people can understand and worship Christ.

To conclude our Missions Month, guest speaker Chris Attwater from Mercy Ships Canada shares inspiring insights into how hospital ships bring hope and surgical healing to sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing from the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18–20, Chris breaks down our call to participate in God's mission through three practical actions: Go, Give, and Pray. He encourages every believer to recognize that whether serving across the street or across the sea, we all have a vital role to play, resting on Christ's promise to always be with us.

In this Missions Month message on 1 Corinthians 9, Bro. Warren Facun shares that true evangelism and discipleship begin with a simple foundation: loving God more than ourselves. He illustrates how following Jesus means setting aside personal rights and convenience for the sake of the Gospel. Rather than viewing missions as merely distant trips or church programs, this sermon challenges believers to step into intentional discipleship with the people God has already placed in their daily lives.

In a special Thanksgiving message for Missions Month, Bro. Jesse Hollington explores Jesus’ call to pray for laborers in the spiritual harvest field. By connecting the command to pray directly with Christ’s immediate commissioning of the disciples, this message demonstrates how believers are called to be the answers to their own prayers through ambassadorial grace rather than ego-driven debate. From seeing cynical hearts as hostages to rescue rather than enemies to combat, Bro. Jesse offers a deeply personal and liberating look at extending the King's invitation in everyday life.

To kick off October Missions Month, guest speaker Dr. John Taylor, President of ABWE Canada, highlights how global missions and local church outreach go hand-in-hand as we seek to share the gospel with unreached people groups both around the world and within our own local metropolitan communities. Discover how growing in love, cultural understanding, and intentional relationship-building empowers us to engage every nation right where God has placed us.

In the final installment of his mini-series on 1 Corinthians 11, Pastor Sonny explores the proper response believers should have when partaking in the Lord’s Supper. He explains that participating in an "unworthy" manner does not demand personal perfection, but rather warns against acting selfishly and failing to honor the unifying, sacrificial love represented by Christ's body. Ultimately, this message challenges the church to sincerely examine their hearts, practice true hospitality, and treat all fellow believers as equal members of God's family before coming to the Table.

In this message from our annual GBC Family Camp, Pastor Sonny continues his series on Corinthians, exploring the "remembrance" aspect of communion from 1 Corinthians 11. He explains that the Apostle Paul used the Lord's Supper as a solution to the social divisions plaguing the Corinthian church, highlighting that Jesus established this new covenant on the very night He was betrayed. Ultimately, Pastor Sonny reminds listeners that the cross subdues our selfish nature and the Holy Spirit cultivates our hearts, emphasizing that we cannot celebrate a Savior who sacrificially gave Himself for us while refusing to love one another.

In this week’s message, Pastor Sonny addresses Apostle Paul’s rebuke of the Corinthian church for allowing social and economic divisions to distort the Lord’s Supper. Rather than reflecting Christ's unity, wealthy members were overindulging while poorer believers were left hungry and shamed. Pastor Sonny explores how God can use church conflict to test and reveal genuine faith, challenging us to examine whether our responses to division build up or fracture the body of Christ.

In a world increasingly shaped by subjective claims and cultural relativism, where do we find an unshakeable standard of truth? In this week’s message, Bro. Jesse Hollington unpacks how truth is not merely an abstract concept, but the very person and nature of Jesus Christ. Discover why we must stand on, study, and speak God’s Word — learning how to navigate subtle cultural errors, anchor our faith directly in Scripture, and share the Gospel with genuine humility, confidence, and love.

Pastor Sonny continues our series on Corinthians by examining Paul’s teaching on head coverings to uncover the principle of representative headship. Moving beyond ancient cultural dress codes, he explains that our behavior and presentation should reflect honor and loyalty to our spiritual head. Grounded in 1 Corinthians 10:31, this message challenges believers to evaluate how their personal choices and conduct ultimately bring glory to God.

Pastor Sonny continues his series on 1 Corinthians 10, exploring how Christians can navigate their freedoms by making God’s glory their ultimate, objective standard. 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. Ultimately, when our identity is securely rooted in Christ, we are freed from the fear of man and empowered to sacrifice our own rights to love and serve those around us.

In this week's message, Pastor Sonny unpacks the profound difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, reminding us that while forgiveness releases vengeance to God, true reconciliation requires mutual movement and genuine repentance. Turning to 1 Corinthians 10, he explores the Apostle Paul's practical advice on navigating Christian freedom and personal conscience when dealing with food offered to idols. Ultimately, believers are challenged to imitate the sacrificial posture of Christ by willingly laying aside their personal rights for the spiritual good of their neighbours.

Pastor Sonny returns to the pulpit this week with a deeply personal and reflective message that explores how true Christian maturity is defined not by insisting upon our personal freedoms, but by willingly surrendering them out of sacrificial love. By contrasting the self-serving attitudes of the Corinthian church with the gentle, lowly, and self-giving heart of Jesus, this sermon challenges believers to prioritize the spiritual well-being of their neighbors. Join us as we discover how to lay aside our own rights and comforts to build up the weak, restore the fallen, and reflect the grace of God to the world.

Bro. Vergel Ecat discusses how Jesus calls His disciples to embrace true humility and total dependence on God. In this message, we explore how letting go of pride and trusting God completely can transform your daily walk with Him. Join us to discover practical steps—from cultivating gratitude to refusing worry—that will help you build a more teachable, grounded, and peaceful faith.
