By Rev. Jeremiah Cheung The Church is a family. We fellowship with one another, but because of the ever-increasing number, we need to join small groups to have a real fellowship life. During the Lord Jesus’ ministry on earth, thousands followed him. However, he chose 12 Apostles to live together with him. They were a small group. The core value of fellowship with small group is ‘sharing’. Acts 4:36 to 5:11 record two stories: the first is the story of Barnabas, the second is the story of a couple named Ananias and Sapphira.

By Rev. Jeremiah Cheung The Lord Jesus hung on the cross from 9am to 3pm. In those six long hours, the Lord Jesus carried on himself the sins of the whole world.

Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise (Luke 23:43) — Love’s Acceptance 3. Woman, here is your son. Here is your mother (John […]

By Ptr. Mike Cariño Romans 12:17-21 (NIV) 17. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live in peace with everyone. 19. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. 20. On the contrary: “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Full sermon transcript is […]
