In our current age of growing skepticism and increased hostility towards Christianity, it is more needed than ever to be able to provide a reason and defence for one’s faith.

“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect”

- 1 Peter 3:15

Prayer can often be met with apprehensions or confusion, even by those who are within the Christian faith. Yet, its importance and enjoyment cannot be overstated! This series seeks to communicate the joy of a praying life and encourage those listening to develop the discipline and joy of prayer.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus”

- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Most of us are problem-centered, focusing on immediate concerns rather than seeing the bigger picture, which often leads to short-term fixes instead of lasting solutions. Ephesians provides a broader perspective by revealing God's grand plan from creation to ultimate unity in Christ. This series aims to expand one’s vision of God's work in history and bring wholeness to a broken world.

“…making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.”

- Ephesians 1:9-10

The remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and the celebration of His resurrection three days later is at the very core of Christianity. Each Easter, we have the joy of celebrating this remembrance, what God the Son and God the Father went through for us to have door opened to a relationship with Him, and what it means for those who love Him and have put their faith in Him.

“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

- John 11:25-26

Over 2000 years ago the Saviour of the world was born, and each Christmas is a joyous occasion as we remember and celebrate His birth – the birth of Jesus Christ

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
