Summer Psalms: Whom Have I In Heaven But You?

Bible VersesPsalm 73

PreacherHenry Ow

Sermon Description

We believe that following Christ should have its benefits. But when we see believers suffer and wrongdoers prosper we wonder: "why?" It doesn't seem right. When we see the wrongdoer blessed, we may wonder: "Is it worth it to continue following Christ?" How do we overcome these questions and doubts when an assumption about following Christ is turned upside down?

The Rightly Ordered Church: A Charge to the Rich

Bible Verses1 Timothy 6:17-21

PreacherHenry Ow

Sermon Description

Once we’ve been accustomed to something, it’s easy to become comfortable.  Things become second nature to us such as work, school, and family.  We don’t notice things that we should.  Comfort leads often to complacency.  It’s easy even for Christians to become comfortable in their spiritual lives resulting in a complacent church.  How do we guard against becoming a complacent church?

The Rightly Ordered Church: The Church: A Pillar of Truth

Bible Verses1 Timothy 3:14-16

PreacherHenry Ow

Sermon Description

We live in a consumer-oriented world.  The customer is always right.  Unfortunately, we may have the same consumer mentality about church.  The church should cater to our needs.  After all, the church member is always right, right?  Yet Paul argues that the church is not ordered around us.  How do we then become a rightly ordered church according to Paul?

Christ is Risen Indeed: The Death of Death

Bible Verses1 Corinthians 15:21-34

PreacherHenry Ow

Sermon Description

We live in a world that is broken.  It is filled with news of death, disease, and disaster.  Yet as Christians we live with hope because of the gospel.  The gospel is not just merely about Christ dying on the cross for our sins to restore us unto a relationship with God.  It is also about resurrection, which is the promise of new life.  For a gospel without the resurrection leads to a life without hope.  How do we persist then to believe in the resurrection?

The Rightly Ordered Church: Grace for the Chief of Sinners

Bible Verses1 Timothy 1:12-17

PreacherHenry Ow

Sermon Description

In the early stages of our spiritual life, we embrace the gospel with excitement and treasure it.  Yet over time, the tingle of the gospel fizzles.  If the church upholds the gospel, which says sinners are saved by grace through faith, as one of its pillars of truth then how do we continue treasuring it?

The Five Solas: Sola Gratia

Bible VersesEphesians 2:1-10

PreacherHenry Ow

Sermon Description

If we reflect upon grace, then we wouldn't like it very much. Grace says that we contribute nothing to our salvation. Yet we want to say: "We did something to be worthy of God saving me." Unless we recognize our utter helplessness in sin, we will never embrace the reformation teaching: "Grace alone".
