Today's Message Text: Isaiah 2:1-5

Main Idea: Isaiah 2:1-5 is a prophecy about the future establishment of God’s kingdom, where Jerusalem (Zion) will be exalted as the spiritual center of the world (a city on a hill). In this vision, nations will come to seek God’s guidance, and His instruction will bring peace among them. Wars will cease as people transform weapons into tools for farming, symbolizing harmony and prosperity. The passage ends with a call for the people of Israel to walk in the light of the Lord, embracing His ways. This passage reflects hope for a universal reign of justice and peace under the light and authority of Christ.

In this sermon, Pastor Chan teaches through 1 John 4, where the Apostle John reveals three different aspects of God’s deep and abounding love as well as three great things that God's love gives to us as believers in Jesus.

Today's Message Text: 1 John 4

Main Idea: 1 John 4 emphasizes the importance of discerning truth and love. The chapter opens by encouraging believers to test the spirits to discern if they are from God. Then John explains that true love originated from God and that everyone who loves is born of God and knows Him. The passage teaches that believers should love one another because God loved us first, even sending His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. John concludes by asserting that perfect love drives out fear and that whoever loves God must also love others.

In this sermon, Pastor Chan teaches through the various evidences that we have as believers as to whether our faith is genuine.

Today's Sermon Text: 1 John 3:1-24

Main Idea: 1 John 3 emphasizes the love of God and the importance of living as His children. The chapter highlights God’s great love, and the importance of living in purity. The passage warns against sin and contrasts those who live righteously with those who do not. John urges believers to show genuine love for one another in actions, not just words, as love is the defining mark of God’s children. The evidence of faith is to keep God’s commands, abide in God, and live through the Holy Spirit.
