The Dark Side of Success
In Luke 12, there was a certain rich man whose ground yielded plentifully. This man could be any person – a stockbroker whose portfolio of stocks had risen greatly in value; a real estate owner whose property assets had dramatically improved; or even a businessman who had just gotten the deal of the century. Or, he could just be a senior pastor who’s seen increase year upon year and all it’s been is hunky dory. Whoever he is, he’s someone who’s struck gold and has now more than he can accommodate. So, he has a logistical problem. He doesn’t have enough space to store his increase.
There’s this internal chatter. He asks himself a question, ‘What shall I do since I’ve no room to store my crops or increase?’ In his mind, he replies to his read more...
Services This Weekend
Title: The Psalm of Cornerstone
Date: 23 Feb 2019
Venue I Time: Cornerstone Katong 5pm
Speaker: Ps. Yang Tuck Yoong
If there’s a psalm in the Bible that I could describe as the psalm of Cornerstone, it’d be Psalm 144. This is a psalm of David that was written late in his life and it gives us a glimpse of the prosperity of the nation of Israel. But more than that, God has given to us precious promises from it. I declare this psalm each day over the congregation because it holds the keys to a healthy, thriving and growing congregation.
Title: A Revolution Within the Lord’s Prayer
Date: 24 Feb 2019
Venue I Time: Cornerstone Katong 8.30am / 10.15am / 11.45am
Speaker: Ps. Lim Lip Yong
The Lord’s Prayer is very much an instructional prayer that gives us a guide as to how we are to pray. However, if we were living in the days of Jesus, this prayer would run drastically against the grain of accepted Jewish culture. What Jesus taught in the Lord’s Prayer was radical, revolutionary and transformation, much like the rest of the Sermon on the Mount within which the Lord’s Prayer is found. More than liturgy, the Lord was seeking to open our eyes to understand His heart for us and for the world.
Title: My Bungee Jump of Faith
Date: 24 Feb 2019
Venue I Time: Cornerstone Bugis 9am / 10.30am
Speaker: Ps. Yang Tuck Yoong
When you walk with the Lord long enough, you’ll discover that each time He seeks to bring you higher, a huge bungee jump of faith is required. And unless we’re willing to step out in faith and take the leap, we’ll always be operating at the level we’ve attained in life. In other words, we plateau. And that scares me, to fall short. I never want to atrophy or plateau in God. I don’t know about you, but I’m hungering for so much more. I’m willing to do what it takes. Join me on this amazing journey in God.
Title: Delighting In The Beauty Of God
Date: 23 Feb 2019
Venue I Time: Cornerstone Katong 1.30pm
Speaker: Ps. Sng Peh Han
The man after God’s own heart, the sweet psalmist of Israel, King David, prioritised beholding God’s beauty in his life. His lifelong goal was to delight in his walk with God. Beholding God’s beauty is more than just delightful; it’s transforming. As we behold Him, we’re transformed into His likeness. Delighting in the beauty of Jesus is essential to walking in victory – especially in this age when temptations and immorality are increasing.
