Weekly audio sermons from Cornerstone Community Church in Singapore
Singapore
Before we can take the land and enter the promises of God, there must be consecration. In ‘Three Moments of Encounter', Rev. Paul Jeyachandran shares the principles of Consecration before Conquest!
Many Asians grow up in a culture where it's hard to receive compliments or to praise those close to us, like our family member or spouse. When you become fully alive in God's purpose, it doesn't reduce the people around you; it inspires them! Let's deal with this 'paiseh' culture and expose the roots of it.
King Jehoash had God's promise of victory but stopped striking too soon, losing his full breakthrough. Three kinds of Christians emerge from this story: those who strike a little and quit, those who press halfway, and those who keep striking until God says stop. Know when to contend in bold faith, and when to rest in surrendered trust. Don't forfeit what heaven is ready to release.
60 years ago, Singapore was a sleepy trading outpost of the British empire at only 736 sq. km in size; with no natural resource, farmland, nor hinterland. Today, Singapore is a 1st world nation with a GDP of US$501 billion in 2023, ranked by IMF as the 4th richest nation per capita GDP in the world. WHY has God blessed us so richly, and in such a short time? How is this all tied to our call as an Antioch for Asia?
Doubt is inevitable, but it doesn't have to define us. In “When In Doubt, Do This”, we learn from David's life to seek God first, take the higher road, and anchor our hearts in His goodness. Even in our darkest moments, God hears, delivers, and redeems.
Crossover times are periods in our lives that include transitions, trials, testings and the start of something new. What challenges and opportunities will we face and how do we position ourselves to embrace God's blessings?
Scripture repeatedly calls us to remember His commands and the works He has done, because we will otherwise forget them. Whether it be during seasons of pain and difficulties, or times of prosperity, REMEMBER God!
Singapore is not called ‘Lion City' by accident or coincidence – but because of our destiny. We were conceived in the mind of God as the ‘Antioch of Asia', to be a testimony to the nations in this last hour. God's plan will not be thwarted, but our continued prosperity and blessings depend on us fulfilling our destiny as a nation. What is God saying to the Singapore Church as we approach our 60th year of independence?
When my mom passed away recently, it came as a shock because she was so alive. At her wake, there were hardly any tears, but an overpowering sense of victory. The Apostle Paul said, “Absent from the body, present with the Lord.” We knew she was rejoicing in the Presence of her Saviour and surrounded by a company of saints. This whole episode has had me thinking about the common fate of mankind and what we need to do to prepare for it.
It's important as Christians to know what awaits us when we pass from this life. We'll all stand before the Judgement Seat of Christ, and everything in our lives will undergo the forensic evaluation of Him whose eyes are like a flame of fire. He's not looking to disqualify, but qualify us. If the living only know what the dead do, the whole earth would follow Jesus Christ!
In Revelation 2:20, Jesus said to the church in Thyatira, “I have this against you, that you TOLERATE that woman Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess”. The church had a false prophetess ministering freely in the congregation, and while the leadership knew there was something 'off', they tolerated her. How do we deal with such cases in the light of God's Word?
One of the great lessons we learn from the Book of Job and the life of Peter is, the devil cannot do anything he wants in your life, ANYTIME he wants to. This is because there's a hedge and a bloodline around you he can't trespass. That's why he seeks to deceive you first. In this week's message on ‘Chains or Change', we explore the spiritual impact and importance of agreement.
We've sung about Him, spoken of Him, even felt His Presence – yet many of us have stopped short of truly knowing the Holy Spirit. We've grown familiar with His name but are disconnected from His voice. We know what He does for us, but rarely ask what He desires of us. The Holy Spirit is not just a power to tap into, but a Person to walk with. It's time to rediscover the One who doesn't just touch moments, but transforms lives.
John 8:1-11 records one of the most fascinating stories in the Bible. We see the religious scholars and Pharisees teaming up and bringing a woman who had been caught in adultery to Jesus. It was a trap to test Him, and He willingly walks right into it to show us that mercy ultimately triumphs over judgement. Watch how the Divine Judge masterfully disarm the accusers by answering their question with another, demonstrating a public display of God's wisdom, grace and redemption at its finest.
A father's life and leadership echoes a lasting legacy to his family. Whether we've been, or have had good role models growing up, may we understand God's Father heart in desiring a godly genealogy that we'll leave behind – one marked by faith, love, and obedience to God.
When we desire our lives to be set on fire for God, the devil will do everything to quench it. Only through the 3-fold cord of prayer, fasting and giving can we defeat the deadly trio of pride, lust and greed.
Most of us ensure that when we leave our homes, our mobile devices are fully charged to stay connected for the day. But how many Christians actually start their day without fully charging their inner tanks? Like a dead battery, we can't help others if we're running on empty. Discover the key to keeping your needle pointing to full!
There were four mentions in Scriptures regarding the parting of waters – four biblical dimensions of breakthrough that enable us to overcome the waters of impossibility. God is inviting us to partner with Him in the last days and operate in The Breaker Anointing to break the waters of chaos around us.
Through the Blood of Jesus and His finished work at the Cross, every believer has access to a spiritual realm where we can silence the voice of the accuser and petition God to issue divine verdicts in our favour. This isn't just prayer – it's intercession with authority!
When we surrender our lives and possessions to God, His provision follows and multiplies. What we place in His hands never remains the same - it grows beyond our imagination.
Two men. Same name. Raised in the house of God, but with two vastly different outcomes. One burned with holy fire, acted boldly in a time of compromise, and left a legacy heaven still honours. The other defiled the altar, played with sin, and was consumed by judgement. In an age where the line between the holy and profane is fading, the Spirit is asking, “Which Phinehas will you be?” One name. Two flames. One choice. Choose wisely.
Isaiah 54 is a powerful promise of God's redeeming love — just as relevant today as it was 2,700 years ago. Through this prophecy and personal testimonies of His restoration, be encouraged by how God brings beauty from ashes, and multiplies what was once barren, all for His glory.
Revival begins with an awakened heart that responds to God with humility, hunger, and a holy desperation. Like King Josiah who rediscovered the Word and led a national return to the Lord, we're called to tear down idols and prepare the way for God's move. This message urges us to travail in prayer, contend in the Spirit, and align with heaven's cry for revival.
Lamentations 3:22–23 speaks of God's endless mercy and unwavering faithfulness in every corner of our lives. Yet in Luke 16, Jesus reveals an unexpected path to greatness and divine promotion – one that defies the world's obsession with the spectacular. What if the key to God's reward is not found in the obvious, but in what is easily overlooked? Sometimes, what seems least significant carries the greatest eternal weight.
The role of women has always been a highly-debated subject, not just in society, but also in the Church. In Scriptures, when the Apostle Paul said that women should be silent in the church and take a subordinate place, did he mean that they're not supposed to teach or minister? What does God's Word really teach on this and what is the role of women in the Body?
Unlike the English language, the Greek word for ‘Love' refers to the highest form of love – the John 3:16 kind. It shows not just HOW MUCH God loves us (quantity), but HOW UNRELENTING His love is (quality). This is the kind of love He wants us to show to a world that so desperately needs the God-kind of love.
In Luke 18, the blind man's miracle started by hearing, not seeing. True revelation isn't about head knowledge, but about hearts and ears open to Jesus. In our darkest moments, what we need most is His Presence, and that comes when we humble our hearts before Him. When we cry out in faith, He stands still, meets us, and brings the breakthrough we long for.
The Cross is more than a moment in history – it changed its course, recalibrated time, and redeemed our future. Once a symbol of curse, it now stands as the ultimate symbol of God's love through Jesus Christ. His all-sufficient sacrifice fulfilled the Old Covenant and ushered in the New. His work is complete, but our response is one of continual transformation. What was once a distant hope is now a living reality – this is the Cross that carries me.
John 4:35 states, “Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” There's a great urgency for the Lord of the Harvest to thrust forth labourers. Revival is always unto the harvest and the harvest is unto the Marantha cry, “Come Lord Jesus, come!” This global harvest is going to be unto His Second Coming. Will you be in or out?
The God we serve is a miraculous debt-busting God who wants to break you free from your cycle of debt. He wants you to know the He has the power to bring you out and keep you in debt-free living. But there are some powerful principles we need to observe that will enable us to live in this freedom!
In life's trials, it's easy to be consumed by fear over our circumstances — but what if we trusted that God is in control of every situation? When we confront challenges with faith, we experience His strength and presence in a way that transforms our journey. Join us as we dive in and discover how to face life's roars with confidence!
Our words carry immense power. That's why we must tame our tongues – but how do we do it? When our words align with God's, they're backed by the Lord and His angels! He desires for us to live victoriously and be a blessing to others. Join us for this life-changing message – one that speaks directly to our daily lives.
1 Kings 18 is a remarkable chapter that reveals two distinct yet equally powerful answers to Elijah's prayers. First, there was the dramatic showdown on Mount Carmel, where fire fell from heaven and silenced the prophets of Baal. Then, in stark contrast, a small cloud – no bigger than a man's hand – brought a mighty downpour, ending Israel's drought. God's fire isn't confined to the spectacular; it also ignites in the quiet moments, showing that His power is at work, even in the most subtle ways.
There's a tug of war between the kingdom of darkness and the Kingdom of God. One of the footholds the enemy seeks to conquer and overcome is the high places. He who controls the high places wields the influence and power over culture, society, and systems. We must know the hour of the Lord so as to be effective in moving together with Him in taking these high places.
Fear can break relationships, but the fear of the Lord strengthens and reinforces them. When we honour God through our relationships and marriages, we reflect His love and purpose for unity.
When God designed marriage, it was His masterpiece meant to be a prophetic testimony to the world – reflecting Christ's love for the Church. Just as a husband loves his wife, so Christ loves His bride, and the wife, in turn, mirrors the Church's devotion to Him. A legal certificate may confirm your marriage, but is it truly thriving? Many couples, especially those married for years, settle into routine or mere survival. But a healthy marriage requires intentional effort and commitment. A powerful reminder this Valentine's Day weekend!
Victory isn't always about standing on a podium, defeating an opponent, or gaining worldly recognition. True victory often goes unnoticed, emerging instead in the valleys of life. It's in these low places that resilience is tested, surrender is embraced, and humility is developed. Finding joy in the midst of trials offers a profound perspective on triumph, reminding us that the greatest victories are not visible to others, but are found from aligning our hearts with God's purpose.
There's something profoundly spiritual about music. A rabbi once said when language aspires to the transcendent, and the soul longs to break free of the gravitational pull of the earth, it modulates into song. Jewish history is not so much read, as it's SUNG. Get in tune with the Bible's TOP 10 greatest hits and why they matter!
We must make much about the Blood. There's wonder working power in His Blood and this power has not waned in more than 2,000 years! In the Passover ceremony, Israel was instructed to apply the blood of a sacrificed lamb on the doorposts for protection and life, and this serves as a wonderful pattern for us. There's more power in one drop of Christ's Blood than there is in the whole kingdom of satan!
The Prophet Haggai prophesied that God will shake everything that can be shaken. He'll shake the heavens and the earth; and He'll shake ALL nations, starting with the financial markets. The current financial system is based on unjust weights and balances, greed and covetousness, and an insatiable appetite for more. God will judge this and it's inevitable. Will this be replaced with a new world order? And will it pave the way for the rise of an antichrist system? What will the final world order look like?
In line with our ‘Faith@Work' launch this weekend, we explore the ‘Secret of A Blessed Life'. Why is it that with everything being equal, one person succeeds in life and another ends up in failure? What's the secret ingredient that will lead us into a blessed life, and what makes a life truly blessed?
2 Chronicles 20:20 says, ‘Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.' Our prosperity depends on ‘hearing' the prophets God sends to us and believing in what they say. If we believe the word of the prophet, we receive his reward, which is REVELATION. What's the Lord saying to us in 2025? Where's the spiritual compass pointing toward? In this important first message of the year, Pastor Yang shares the meaning and significance of the ‘View From The 15th Storey'.
