What distinguishes a true proclaimer of the gospel? In Galatians 1:10-24, Paul defends his apostleship and makes it clear that his message came not from man, but from Jesus Christ. His life, once marked by persecution, was radically transformed by the very gospel he sought to destroy.A true gospel proclaimer will always seek God's approval, not man's, share God's message faithfully, preach the need for true conversion, and prepare diligently for their calling. Paul’s story challenges us to examine whether we are living as faithful proclaimers of the gospel today.Join us as we uncover the essential marks of a gospel proclaimer and what it means to be truly called by God.

Dangerous Distortions – Galatians 1:6-9
Paul delivers a strong warning in Galatians 1:6-9: distorting the gospel has serious consequences. The Galatians were quickly turning away from the truth, embracing a different gospel that was no gospel at all. Paul makes it clear—twisting the gospel leads to desertion from Christ, deception, trouble, and ultimately, a curse.When the gospel is distorted, people are led away from the grace of Christ and turn to something false. Instead of freedom, they find confusion. Instead of salvation, they face condemnation. Paul doesn’t soften his words—those who preach a false gospel stand under God’s curse.False gospels are not just ancient problems—they threaten the church today. The call remains urgent: hold fast to the truth, refuse to compromise, and stand firm in the unchanging gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Sender, The Recipients, and The Blessing – Galatians 1:1-5
We begin our new sermon series on the book of Galatians, where Paul defends the gospel of grace and calls believers to stand firm in the freedom found in Christ.In Galatians 1:1-5, we see three key elements in Paul’s introduction:The Sender: Paul, an apostle—not by man’s authority, but sent by Jesus Christ and God the Father.The Recipients: The churches of Galatia, struggling with false teachings and in need of a reminder of the true gospel.The Blessing: Grace and peace from God, through Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins to deliver us from this present evil age.Join us as we unpack the powerful truths in these opening verses and lay the foundation for a deeper understanding of the true gospel— that is centred on Christ alone.

Warnings are blessings! Gen 49:1-7
In Genesis 49, Jacob gathers his sons to speak prophetic words over their futures. For Reuben, Simeon, and Levi, his words are not blessings in the traditional sense but warnings about the consequences of their past actions. Yet, these warnings hold profound lessons, urging reflection, repentance, and growth.
Join us as we explore how God’s warnings, though difficult to hear, are expressions of His grace—guiding us away from destructive paths and calling us toward His purpose. Discover how even a warning can be a blessing in disguise.

Gaining God's Perspective on Your Past! - Gen 45
In Genesis 45, Joseph reveals his true identity to his brothers, but instead of dwelling on their betrayal, he offers a different perspective: God used their actions to bring about a greater good. Joseph’s powerful words, “It was not you who sent me here, but God,” reveal his understanding of how God worked through his painful past to fulfill His purpose.
Join us as we explore how Joseph’s story teaches us to see our own past through God’s eyes, recognizing His hand in even the most difficult moments. This episode dives into themes of forgiveness, purpose, and redemption, reminding us that God can use all things for His greater plan.
