Paving the Wei

Life is unfair...but it can never rob usbof God's truths.  Sermon by Ps Roland Lee at FCBC at 24 Apr 2026. Uncertainty is the only certainty, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only securrity.  Scripture: Romans 8:31-39 talks about how God is for us, no matter what troubles we go through. Paul is convinced that nothing (not worries or fears, nor powers of hell, power in the sky or in the earth below) can separate us from the love of God. He will always be "with us". What are we promised when God is with us? 1. Our identity is secure We often compare ourselves with others (who are better) when we are unsure of our identity in God. Identity = depends on who or what defines you believe in it. If we depend on the value system of the world, it will be unfair.  But God's truth defines identity isbour relationship with God thru Christ. We are therefore worth the price that was paid by God - Jesus himself. I am chosen, justified and accepted by God thur Christ Jes...

Sermon by Senior Pastor Daniel Khong of the Faith Community Baptist Church, 28-29 Mar 2026.  Background: Every time God calls us to do soemthing, it could be soemthign new that may feel uncertain, something scary, something unfamiliar. Only when we embrace soemthign that makes us uncomfortable, that we can receive the blessing that God has in store for us.  Scripture: Matthew 14:22-33 The passage talked about Jesus walking on water. When Peter saw Jesus, he cried out for Jesus and asked him to come to him. So Peter walked on water as well. But when the waves came (there was a strong wind), Peter became afraid and sank. How should we respond when God calls us into the unknown? 1. We must first trust him - Fix our eyes on him When the disciples saw someone walking on water, they initially did not know it was Jesus. They thought it was a ghost. Then Jesus told him that it was him. Peter then came toward Jesus, because he trusted that the power of Jesus. It is a combi of both trus...

Promotions are good... They bring along more recognition for a job well done, they bring in (most cases, anyway) a higher salary, they allow you to bring more value to the company, they allow more opportunities to interact with employees (managers) higher up the corporate chain. You get to do more and together with your team, you can achieve greater heights in performance. For those who enjoy travelling, a higher position will typically mean additional travel required which will allow you to see greater parts of the company, in a different cities, thereby elevating your experience in working with peoples across culture...at the company's expense. Your life will be enriched, no doubt. But when does it feel when a promotion is not really a promotion? When does it feel that a promotion with a greater role, greater responsibility with higher salary becomes a yellow flag, or in some instances, a red one?  Sure, there are millions of cases where promotions will improve a person's lif...

Background:  Many are OK in reading the Bible and worshipping God. We are also OK in listening to sermons and showing up for church. The difficulty is in prayer, where we could only do seconds or minutes, but nothing more. Scripture: Exodus 17:10-11 The story is about Moses overcoming the Amalekites. Moses was holding the staff while Joshua and the Israelites were in battle. When Moses's hand was up, Israel was winning, but when the hand is down, Israel will lose. When Moses cannot lift his hand any more, they were propped up by Aaron and Hur. Moses's hand was lifted all the way until victory was achieved.  The struggle is real. Why must we struggle in prayer even when it is difficult to do so?  Because there is... 1. Battle in the spiritual realm The spiritual realm exist , and the devil exists as well. Know that the devil is out there as a prowling lion looking for someone to devour. Thus, our struggle is not against flesh or blood but against spiritualities in heavenly...

Why social relationships? In the book, "The Good Life" written by Rober Waldinger of Harvard Medical School and Marc Shulz, psychology professor at Bryn Mawr College, the authors concluded that the key to a good life is as simple as having a relationship. They then expounded that the strength of the relationship is a good indicator of both the physical and mental health, which correlate to having a good life.   If we expand the word relationships, one can see that it consists of Marital, Parental and Social. One would think that Social (or just friendships ) would probably be the easiest one. We make friends all the way thru school (when we are young kids or during college for those who made it there). We also have opportunities to make friends at our workplaces. So, this should be easy, right? In the Strait Times published 10 Jan 2026, it was reported by the Institute of Policy Studies that 1 in 10 Singaporeans do not have close friends. Despite the advances in technology, m...

Sermon by Ps Eugene Tan at the Faith Community Baptist Church @ 31 Jan 2026.  Scripture: Matthew 5:13-16 talks about believers to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, that we can shine so that people can praise God. Being the salt and light is to bring transformation to the world. When we think of people who can make an impact, we think these consist of mostly politicians, superstars, athletes but not me.  But who is Jesus referring to when he calls them to be the salt and light?  Note: the apostles were ordinary and common people - they have weaknesses, failures just like all of us. The good news is that we are not to do this alone - Jesus is addressing not a single person but a mandate to all. Every disciple is called to bring influence and make an impact.  Salt can influence and change the status. When there is light, it reveals good and expose evil and what is wrong. God calls us to make an impact by doing these... 1. So that Others can see God We...
