Worship Hot Takes – Part 1

I Can’t Believe It’s Worship is starting a new series today, called “Worship Hot Takes“. After a pretty esoteric and theologically deep study of the Tabernacle (you can listen to my 4-part Equip course here), Lester Sim and I decided to do some episodes which were (perhaps) less intellectually rigorous. So Lester S found some […]

Blessed are the Flexible

This post is based on an informal talk I gave to a group of tertiary–campus leaders in my church. I became a Christian on 20 July 1990 – so it’s been over 35 years. But as I’ve been reflecting on my journey as a Christian over that time, I began to land on a few […]

Reflections on 2025

Psalm 65:11-13: You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance. The grasslands of the wilderness overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness. The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing. These last 12 months have been full and fulfilling. […]

Dwelling Place – worship video

Here is the live worship video recording of “Dwelling Place“, produced by FCC’s media team. This version was recorded during a Sunday worship service, led by Ps Dave Wong. I quite like the alternate chords that the musos used in the bridge.

Dwelling Place – Live Version

Get the chord chart here: It’s been about 3 weeks since we launched the song “Dwelling Place” for use in our Sunday services at Faith Community Church. Over that time, we’ve let the song evolve a bit. This version was recorded live during the second service on 1 June 2025, with Lester Sim leading. The […]

Remembering Christ’s Sacrifice – Good Friday Sets

We’ve just finished Easter services this weekend. For me, Good Friday is the most sacred of days on the Christian calendar – on which we remember Christ’s death as an atonement for our sins. Hebrews 13:12-13 says So Jesus also suffered outside the gate to sanctify the people through his own blood. Therefore let us […]

Podcast – What is Worship?

In case you missed it, here is the latest episode of my and Lester Sim’s podcast where we talk about the fundamental question for all worship ministers, and in fact, all Christians: What is Worship? I’ve actually found that in churches today, the idea of “worship” is poorly understood – wrongly conflating liturgy, devotion and […]

New Song Drop – Psalm 84

The simply-titled “Psalm 84” by Lester Sim is the last of the three songs recently recorded by our songwriting group. When I challenged the group last year to write a song, both Lester and I sensed that there was a stirring in the collective heart of our church for more of God’s presence. Against the […]

New Song Drop – Song of Ages

Siska Sands is one of our Youth Pastors (our youth ministry at Faith Community Church is called Kinetic). She has not only stewarded Kinetic (along with our other Youth Pastor) to a place of depth and growth, but she is an amazing worship leader in her own right, having led Kinetic Worship until recently. As […]

New Song Drop – Dwelling Place

Get the chord chart here. Last year, our worship ministry began a strategy of song-writing to try to build a base of home-grown songs that reflects the life and journey of our congregation at Faith Community Church. My friend Ben Stafford ran a workshop for our budding songwriters to kick-start the process. After this, our […]
