The Year of His Restoration

Every year when I’m in Singapore, one of the things that has now become a bit of a custom is for me to attend New Creation Church’s Vision Sunday which is held on the first Sunday of the year. It’s not that I’m not into my own church’s vision, because I am. (In Faith Community Church […]

A New Season in 2015

Happy new year friends! Two thousand and fourteen has been a bittersweet year. There has been some good stuff and also some not so good stuff. As I reflect over the past year, I am thankful for my amazing church, Faith Community Church and what God has been doing in our worship ministry. Some of […]

From the Archives: Why the Church Needs to Embrace Change

Last Sunday, Peter Tsukahira preached an awesome message on Change, which really resonated with me. I will post my thoughts on that shortly. In the meantime, here is a post I wrote some time ago about the need for change. People often ask me: wouldn’t world missions and evangelism be so much easier if Jesus […]

Hillsong Highlights – Day 3

Today’s conference for me was quite a definitive one. I felt God speak to me very clearly about commitment to His cause. This morning Bill Hybels shared on tests of leadership. Test 4 was the grander vision test. As leaders we need to give those we lead a grander vision than they have seen so […]

Hillsong Highlights – Days 1 and 2

It’s been an amazing couple of days at Hillsong Conference. Amazing and exhausting. I was hoping to get a bit of time between sessions to process and blog some of things that God has been speaking to me but the schedule is way too packed. Either you are running between sessions or queuing up to […]

We are Called God’s Delight

I heard Mike Bickle share this today from Isaiah 62:4 No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate, but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah, for the Lord will take delight in you and your land will be married. Hephzibah means “my delight is in her”. God loves […]

God’s Glory on Our City

Yesterday was Easter Sunday, the day the church celebrates Christ’s resurrection from the dead. It was also a pretty full-on day for me. I had the honour of leading worship at Faith Community Church’s Easter Service, serving with Fantastic Team 3 which is always a joy for me. For the first time in recent memory, […]

Why Easter Saturday is the Most Underrated Day This Weekend

Yesterday was Good Friday. On Good Friday, we commemorate Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. It’s a crucially important moment in the history of mankind. As Luther once said, “the cross tests everything”. The cross makes all the difference. Tomorrow, we will celebrate Easter Sunday, the day of Christ’s resurrection from the dead. But I reckon […]

Calvary Covers It All

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JxTOY0mA7E The Saviour alone carried the cross For all of my debts He paid the cost Salvation complete, now forever I’m free Calvary covers it all Calvary covers it all My sin and shame don’t count anymore All praise to the One who has ransomed my soul Calvary covers it all No power on earth, […]

The Oak Stump

In my previous post (The Worship Leadership Masterclass – Day 2 Roundup), I shared about how as I was teaching my class, I felt led to release a word to one of the students who was preparing for missions work in Japan. This is James Benjamin’s post from his blog Crossing the Boundary in which he shares […]
