Embracing the Resurrection 拥抱复活的生命 Gospel of John 20:19–31 约翰福音 20:19–31

Embracing the Resurrection 拥抱复活的生命 Scripture Passage 经文： Gospel of John 20:19–31 约翰福音 20:19–31 Preacher 讲员： Rev. Aaron Liu 刘亚伦牧师 Introduction 引言 Rev. Aaron Liu began by highlighting the moment when the disciples were gathered behind locked doors, overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty after the crucifixion of Jesus. Although they had heard about the resurrection, their hearts were still troubled and hesitant. He emphasized that this reflects the reality of many believers today—we may know the truth of Christ, yet still struggle with fear and doubt. Rev. Aaron Liu reminded the congregation that the resurrection is not merely a historical event, but a present reality where the risen Christ comes to meet us personally in our situation. 刘亚伦牧师首先强调，当门徒因耶稣被钉十字架而充满惧怕与不确定时，他们把门关上聚集在一起。尽管他们已经听见复活的消息，但内心仍然忧虑和迟疑。他指出，这正反映了今天许多信徒的光景——我们虽然认识基督的真理，却仍然活在恐惧与疑惑之中。刘亚伦牧师提醒会众，复活不仅是历史事件，更是当下真实的经历——复活的基督亲自来到我们当中。 1. Peace in His Presence 主同在的平安 Bible Scripture 经文： John 20:19–23 约翰福音 20:19–23 Rev. Aaron Liu em...

Journal Isaiah 1 - 5

📖 Bible Journal: Isaiah 1–5 Isaiah Chapter 1 1) Summary God rebukes Judah for their rebellion and hypocrisy. Though they continue religious practices like sacrifices and prayers, their hearts are far from Him. Their lives are filled with injustice and sin. God calls them to repentance, urging them to turn from evil and do what is right. Despite their sin, God offers forgiveness and restoration if they are willing to obey. Key Scripture “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” — Isaiah 1:18 2) Reflection This chapter reminds me that God is not impressed by outward religion if my heart is not right. It is possible to appear faithful while living in disobedience. God desires sincerity, justice, and a transformed life. Am I truly living for Him, or just going through the motions? 3) Response Lord, search my heart and reveal any hypocrisy within me. Help me to live authentically before You, not just in outward actions but in true obedience and righteousness. Isa...

Sermon By: Bishop Dr T. Jeyakumar  讲员：T. Jeyakumar 主教博士 Sermon Summary  讲道总结 Introduction  引言 Bishop Dr T. Jeyakumar began by highlighting the reality of doubt in today’s world, where skepticism is often seen as intelligence and belief is sometimes viewed as weakness. T. Jeyakumar 主教博士首先指出当今世界怀疑的现实，人们常把怀疑视为聪明，而把相信看作软弱。 He pointed out that many people adopt the mindset, “Unless I see, I will not believe,” even toward God. 他指出，许多人对神也抱持着“除非我看见，否则我不相信”的态度。 Bishop Dr T. Jeyakumar explained that doubt is not always negative, as there is such a thing as honest doubt—where individuals sincerely seek truth by asking questions. T. Jeyakumar 主教博士解释说，怀疑不一定是负面的，因为存在一种诚实的怀疑，是人们通过提问真诚地寻求真理。 He reminded the congregation that faith should not be blind but informed, and the church must be a place where questions are welcomed. 他提醒会众，信仰不应是盲目的，而应是有根据的，教会必须成为一个欢迎提问的地方。 Using the story of Thomas, he emphasized that Thomas’ doubt was not rebellion but a genuine desire to know the truth. 借着多马的故事，...

Journal Matthew 25-28

 📖 Bible Journal: Matthew 25–28 Matthew Chapter 25 1) Summary Jesus shares three powerful teachings about readiness and accountability. The parable of the ten virgins emphasizes being prepared for His return. The parable of the talents teaches faithfulness in using what God has entrusted to us. Finally, Jesus describes the final judgment, where people are separated like sheep and goats based on how they treated “the least of these.” Key Scripture “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40 2) Reflection This chapter reminds me that my faith is not passive. It is revealed through how I live, serve, and respond to others. Am I spiritually prepared, or have I become complacent? The way I treat others—especially the needy and overlooked—is a reflection of my relationship with Christ. 3) Response Lord, keep my heart awake and ready for You. Help me to be faithful with what You have given me and to serve others with love...

What Kind of King Are You Welcoming? 你欢迎的是怎样的君王？ Matthew 21:8–11 马太福音 21:8–11

Sermon By Rev Aaron Liu 讲员：刘牧师 Introduction 引言 Rev Aaron Liu reminds us that Palm Sunday presents a powerful and vivid scene recorded in Matthew 21:8–11—a moment filled with celebration, hope, and expectation. The crowds laid down their cloaks, waved palm branches, and shouted “Hosanna,” welcoming Jesus as King. It appeared like a moment of triumph and victory. 刘牧师提醒我们，棕枝主日在马太福音21:8–11中呈现了一个极其生动而充满张力的场景——人群铺上衣服、挥动棕枝，高声呼喊“和散那”，欢迎耶稣为王，看似是荣耀与得胜的时刻。 Yet, within a few days, the same voices would cry for His crucifixion. This reveals a deep tension: they welcomed Jesus, but they misunderstood Him. 然而，短短几天后，这群人却呼喊“钉祂十字架”。这揭示了一个深刻的张力：他们欢迎了耶稣，却误解了祂。 Rev Aaron challenges us to reflect deeply—not whether we welcome Jesus, but what kind of King we are welcoming into our lives. 刘牧师挑战我们深刻反思：问题不只是我们是否欢迎耶稣，而是我们欢迎的是怎样的一位王。 1. Lay Down Your Cloaks 放下你的外衣 Scripture 经文：Matthew 21:8 Rev Aaron explains that laying down cloaks was a public and visible act of honor and submission to a king. It symbolized reco...

 Sermon By Bro Chuah Seong York 讲员：蔡祥玉弟兄（Bro Chuah Seong York） Introduction 引言 In this sermon, “Redemption Road,” Bro Chuah Seong York reminds us that redemption means to recover what was lost by paying a price . He highlights that humanity was lost through sin, and God, in His mercy, paid the price through Jesus Christ to bring us back to Himself. 在这篇题为 “救赎之路” 的讲道中，蔡祥玉弟兄 提醒我们 ，救赎的意思是“付上代价，把失去的重新得回”。他 强调 人类因罪而失落，而神在祂的怜悯中，借着耶稣基督付上代价，将我们带回到祂面前。 Bro Chuah also points out that Psalm 130, one of the Songs of Ascent, reflects a spiritual journey—just like pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. Likewise, believers today are on a journey of redemption , returning to God. 蔡弟兄也 指出 ，诗篇130作为上行之诗之一，描绘了一个属灵的旅程，就像朝圣者上耶路撒冷一样。同样地，今天的信徒也在走一条 归向神的救赎之路 。 He outlines three important phases on this journey: Contrition, Assurance & Anticipation, and Proclamation . 他 总结 这条旅程有三个重要阶段： 痛悔、确据与盼望，以及宣告与分享 。             1. Contrition – A Heart of Repentance 一、痛悔——悔改的心 Scriptur...
