Paving the Wei

Sermon by Ps Roland Lee at the Faith Community Baptist Church on 16 May 2026.  Background: God wants us to be succesful...that we will always be ath the top, not at the bottom. If we meditate on the book of the law, God promises us that we will be prosperous and successful. Success is to know our purpose, growing into our maximum potential and sowing seeds that benefits others. Bur do we need to compromise our principles to be successful?  Scripture:  Daniel was made the 3rd highest ruler in the empire of Darius and Cyrus the Persian, after brought into captivity to serve Babylon. In the Bible, Babylon is the religious, social, political and economic system that has yet to know God. Daniel did not compromise - true success is not measured by how high we rise, but how faithful we are to God. How to be successful without compromising our faith? 1. Be princpled in our conduct We need to have a moral rule and belief that helps us tell what is right and guide pir a...

Sermon by Snr Ps Daniel Khong at the Faith Community Baptist Church May 9, 2026. Continuation of the Jan 2026 message entitled Riding the Fresh Winds of God. The scripture is from the 2nd book of Acts where there is a rushing mighty wind in thw day of Pentecost. This wind transformed the church. To transform the present church let's do the following: lead 1 person to God, read 2 books of the Bible, and pray 3 hours per week.  What will the fresh wind  of God lead us to? 1. A journey of change by God The fresh winds God came about after a long time when thebPharoah has forgotten about Joseph. He enslaved the Israelites. God did not move for an extended time...even when Moses approached God, he is 80. But God initiated the change. 2. A journey of faith in God When God brings change, there will be challenges. We have to trust and depend on God. Even after Moses told the elders and they believed, things did not go to plan. Pharaoh added more harsh labour to the people ...

Sermon by Senior Pastor Daniel Khong at. the Faith Community Baptist Church 2 May 2026. Background: since we have been made new, we must live in love to others. The home is the ultinate arena (wheee gladiators fight), where love is most tested, and most gloriously displayed. Scripture: Ephesians 6:1-4 is an istruction for children, and parents and tells us of how the gospel changes our lives. This is especially on how to relate to one another.   How can we practise love in our family? 1. Pray for one another We need to understand how prayer affects our families. There is spiritual powers so we must parent from a spiritual perspective, which most lack as our lives get busy doing physical parenting. Paul commands us to pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayer and requests and for all God's peoples. 2. Serve one another Parents serve therr children - feeding them, teaching them, spending time with them. Prayer covers the spiritual element, while serving covers the ...

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...
