Paving the Wei

Life is unfair...but it can never rob us of 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 security.  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 Jesu...

Sermon by Ps Charmaine Cheong at the Faith Community Baptist Church, 6 June 2026.  Scripture:  1 Cor 5:6-8 talks about the small amount of yeast that raises the whole batch of dough. The amount that is placed in bread is less than 1%...and yet, the entire dough will rise 1. Small things aren't a problem.  The church in Corinth was permitting immorality of 1 person, but Paul wrote to the church that they should take action to remove the person. We need to ask ourselves whose standards we are living by? Is it the standard of the world or God's standard? When we follow the desires of our sins, the results are very clear - sexual immorality, impurity, etc. We should not conform to the patterns of the world, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind. Then we will be able to test and approve what God's will is, his good, pleasing and perfect will. 2. Small things aren't a priority Nobody wakes up in the morning wanting to commit adultery, or leaving the churc...

Sermon by Ps Eugene Tan at the Faith Community Baptist Church on 22 May 2026. Questions: are we going to ride the fresh winds together? Whenever God moves, change happens - hearts are transfomed, faith begins to rise, eyes are opened, lives are renewed. But many are afraid of change - we prefer to do the same things. We face the same fears, disappintments, the same hardships...we get used to it and remains trapped. Scripture: the book of Mark chapter 10 talks about the blind man named Bartimaeus. He called out to Jesus, and said "Rabbi, i want to see" and Jesus healed him. What do we need to do to have a transformed life? 1. The Desire for Breakthrough Very often, names were not mentioned in the Bible bur Bartimaeus was. Interestingly, Timaeus means honored and the name means son of the honored one. However, this was not the case - Bartimaeus endured pity because he was blind. He faced daily darkness, lack and despair. But God desires that we live a life of hope, ...

Just wanted to share the review by Lauren Jones of "Infancy to IC".  Here is the synopsis: Theophilus Huang shares a twenty-year journey of raising children in Singapore’s highly competitive education system, offering parents practical, stage-by-stage guidance from infancy to university admission. Blending personal experience with lessons from global success stories, Huang shows how resilience, discipline, and grit—not just talent—shape achievement. More than a guide to Imperial College London (plus NUS, NTU and Waseda), this book is about raising children prepared to excel in life. Honest, insightful, and inspiring, it equips parents to nurture potential into lasting success. It is my hope that with the 5-star review, this will encourage other parents to read the book as well (available in e-book). The main purpose for writing this is never to make money (altho' it is nice if I can cover the self-publishing cost) but to tell the story that your kids can be successful, pe...

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. But 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 principled in our conduct We need to have a moral rule and belief that helps us tell what is right and guide pir ...

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 of Isr...
