The Country We Live In

Sermon by Pastor Poh Wee Long at the Faith Community Baptist Church 8 Aug 2026. There are 3 things that God wants us to do in the country we live in... 1. Seek Him, for He can be found The country that we live is not just a place to make money, to seek our fortune and to raise our family. God's plan for us to seek Him here. We are blessed because there is religious freedom here in Singapore. If we seek Him, we will find him. 2. Pray earnestly, for He will answer Jeremiah  in Chp 29 told the Israelites who are in exile in Babylon to settle and marry and have children. They were asked to pray for the peace of Babylon, if the land prospers, the people of God will prosper as well.   The prophet Ezekiel wrote that God is seeking for one person who will build the wall and pray, and he will spare His judgment, that disaster can be averted. We can and should pray for our jobs, our schools..and when 1 person prays, God will hear from heaven and will heal the land. God ...

We now see chickens pretty much everywhere - this is at the carpark. 

Assemble

Sermon by Pastor at the Faith Community Baptist Church 1 Aug 2026. Background: Advances in techonology has caused a culture shift, in the way we do many things. Some of these are like movies, performances, and other activities. There is also a question on spiritual things, esp church and meeting together as a congregation. Scripture: Hebrews 10: 19-25 talks about the importance of drawings near to God, to spur each other on to love and good deeds, and to meet together.  Assemble = to bring people together as a group, or to fit together to form a single object. We are called out from the world by God, and assemble to form the body of Christ.  Why is it important for people to assemble? 1. It demonstrates our commitment to one another The writer of Hebrews use the words "brother and sister", and "let us" several time to show that we do things together. Jesus tells us to love God but the next thing is to love your neighbour...which is all about the communit...

True Peace

Sermon by Pastor Roland Lee at the Faith Community Baptish Church 25 July 2026. We all desire peace...and the world is desperately searching for peace. While we enjoy some comforts, we often carry burdens that we find difficulr to bear...and we never feel truly satisfied. It cannot be found in circumstances or achievements. True peace is found in the person of Jesus Christ. ...and his name shall be called...Prince of Peace. Jesus gives us true peace that transforms our lives and bless others. Peace is a practical, everyday reality. Scripture: Philippian 4:1-9 tells of Paul writing to the Phillipians from house arrest to ask 2 leaders to resolve their conflict and seek peace.  How can we experience true peace? 1. Seek God's peace in our relationships Paul asked the 2 leaders to settle their disagreements - blessed are the peacemakers. True peace will not fill our hearts, until we settle the issue...even if the other party is at fault. If our horizontal relationships are ...

In God we trust?

Sermon by Senior Pastor Daniel Khong at the Faith Community Baptist Church 18 July 2026.  Proverbs 3 was written by King Solomon to teach us how to live our lives..it comes from a loving father's heart. But what foes it mean to trust in God? 1. Following God's command Verses 1 is asking the child to keep God's commands to get long life, favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man. When Solomon says to trust in God, we acknowledge and submit. Only the one who trusts is obedient, and only he who is obedient trusts. Trust is not just what we say, trust is what we do. 2. Accepting God's corrections Verses 11 tells us not despise God's chastening and correction. John Trapp says that "It is better to be pruned to grow, than cut up to burn.". When God corrects us, we will find wisdom...we become wiser when we are corrected.  3. Seeking God's counsel Verses 23 tells us that God's commands should not depart from our eyes. We should keep wi...

Trusting God

Sermon by Pastor Wang Guanghan at the Faith Community Baptist Church 11 July 2026. Proverbs 3 is a chapter that talks wholly about trusting God in wisdom, decisions, finances, our future. The heartbeat is in verses 5-6 that we should trust with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding. If we submit to God in all our ways, God will make our paths straight.   God wants us to trust him with all our hearts, in good and bad, in all circumstances. It is not a burden but gives freedom. Why? 1. We don't always know what's best The verses says not to lean on our understanding. We can plan but get some support for a short while...but it does not last. But God knows and he will provide.  2. We don't always choose what's best Submit to God in all that you do. Ask: God, what you want? Humanity's struggle is not that we don't know God's will, but we choose something else. Submission is a choice - we must continually choose, and trust that God will ...
