In Part 4 of The Path to Perfection, I'm introducing the fourth step in the way of perfection—prayer as communion with God. He outlines three key insights about prayer, focusing on “centring prayer,” which involves learning to rest in the presence of God, allowing the Holy Spirit to draw us into deeper union with the Father.

The clearest summary of Jesus' ministry is given in Acts 10:38: "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him." With three simple points—and powerful testimonies—I'll be sharing:  1. Jesus sees YOU. 2. Jesus sees YOUR FAITH.  3. Jesus sees YOUR RESPONSE. He will turn your bitter waters to sweet healing.

In Part 3 of The Path to Perfection, I'm introducing the third step in the way of perfection—detachment, the true freedom of the heart—and shows how it can be practised. Spiritual perfection is impossible without this interior freedom.

In Part 2 of The Path to Perfection, I'm introducing the second step in the way of perfection: humility—the surrender of the ego. He shares four practical ways we can practise humility, reminding us that without humility there can be no real spiritual growth.

Prayer does not begin with our desire for God. It begins with God’s desire for us—He has been waiting for us from eternity. In this sermon, I'll talk about how prayer develops like love: we move from mental prayer, to prayer in the Spirit, and finally to contemplative prayer.

Jesus loves to pray—and He prayed often: at His baptism, before His ministry began, early in the morning, late at night, when facing major decisions, on the cross—and even today in heaven, Jesus is still praying. Let's unpack the five powerful benefits of prayer with me!

When Jesus teaches on prayer in Luke 11, He describes three progressive movements in prayer: asking, seeking, and knocking. Each step takes us into an ever-deepening relationship with God. Asking in prayer is likened to entering the Outer Court of the tabernacle. Seeking God is entering the Holy Place. Knocking is coming into the Holy of Holies—coming into union with God. I want to encourage you to stay long enough to have long, unhurried discussions with the Holy Spirit. Only then will our lives be truly transformed.

The prophet Isaiah declared, “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned." Christmas is God sending his Son Jesus to bring light into our darkness, to give us a better life, filled with love, joy, peace and a purpose for living.

In A Failure of Nerve, Dr Edwin Friedman reminds us that “in an anxious world, what is most needed are non-anxious leaders.” I'm challenging us to walk in the way of Jesus by embracing His self-differentiation and non-anxious presence through five practices: 1) slow-down spirituality, 2) Sabbath rest, 3) silence and solitude, 4) devotional love, and 5) detachment.

In this final instalment of The Emblems of the Holy Spirit series, I'll be sharing about the Fire of the Holy Spirit—His presence, purity, power, passion, and prompting. The fire of the Spirit rekindles our hearts, setting them ablaze and alive once more.

In Numbers 16, Israel faced God’s judgment for their rebellion—a deadly plague had begun, and 14,700 people died. God had to deal with their sin, but He raised up Moses and Aaron—faithful intercessors—to stand in the gap. Aaron, the high priest, ran straight into danger, “standing between the living and the dead,” and the plague stopped. This Special Offering weekend, I'll be sharing the final page of the “report card” on Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, Taiwan, and Japan, reminding us: wherever we stand, the plague—of hunger, poverty, hopelessness, and darkness—will stop.

During a severe drought, God sent the prophet Elijah to a poor widow in Zarephath (1 Kings 17), who was down to her last meal. As she gave to Elijah in faith, her little became much, and there was food every day for Elijah, herself, and her family.  In this sharing, I'll be giving a “report card” on Indonesia, "Church Without Walls", and our Jurong West campus. Like the widow with only a handful of flour and a little oil, as we obey the Word of the LORD and give in faith, the little we place in Jesus’ hands will keep multiplying.
