The House That Built Me
Over 10 years ago, we planted a tiny plant in our garden, slightly more than a foot tall, not knowing that one day, that tiny plant would grow into an imposing, gigantic tree that would dominate our entire garden and even the street we’re on.
It’s now grown to well over 60 feet, but it hasn’t come without a cost. The roots of the tree now spread threateningly all over the garden, absorbing much of the nutrients, and the whole area around it is just sandy. No grass seems to be able to grow, because it cannot compete. So, really, the tree has been able to rise but only at the expense of the rest of the other plants in the garden.
My point? There’s no such thing in the Kingdom of God as read more...

Sermon Title: Old Lives Matter – What 60-Year-Olds Just Don’t Get
Date: 21 July 2019
Venue I Time: Cornerstone Katong Sun 10.15am / 11.45am
Speaker: Ps. Yang Tuck Yoong
10 years ago, I preached a message in Cornerstone entitled ‘The BIG 5-0’. I recall I was just months away from my 50th birthday and I was preparing to make the transition when I hit 50. I’m almost in disbelief to think that a decade has passed and I’m now just a few months away from my 60th! So what lessons have I learnt? How am I coping with ageing?

Sermon Title: Responses at Golgotha
Date: 20 July 2019
Venue I Time: Cornerstone Katong Sat 1.30pm
Speaker: Ps. Elijah Chan
In Mark 15, we’ve a vivid picture on the final moments of Jesus’ life. His death provoked significant responses from different groups of people. We’ll see how gazing at the Cross will provoke a tremendous response from the unlikeliest of people. Something will change when we see what the death of Christ has done for us. It has to.
