CHRISTIAN LIVING ACCORDING TO THE EPISTLES: In this message from 2 Corinthians 9:6–15, we explore Christian giving as an act of God's grace, not obligation. From Scripture, we learn that giving is for all believers and is meant to be generous, intentional, free, and cheerful, flowing from a heart transformed by God. As we sow into God's kingdom - supporting gospel ministry, missions, and care for the poor, we trust His promise that we will reap what we sow. Giving reveals our priorities and reflects our gratitude for God's abundant grace. Visit hopecitychurch.uk.com to find out more.

CHRISTIAN LIVING ACCORDING TO THE EPISTLES: Why do we keep doing what we know is wrong, even when we want to obey God? Drawing from Galatians 5:16–25 and Romans 7, Dr. Chik Kaw Tan explores the inner battle between the flesh and the Spirit. This sermon traces God's big story: Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration; and shows how true spiritual transformation is possible through the work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We examine sanctification as a lifelong process, the seriousness of sin, and how idolatry and unbelief at the heart level shape our behaviour. The message also identifies common modern idols, such as comfort and approval, and calls us to live by the Spirit and bear the fruit of a transformed life.

Even in His anger, Jesus was righteous and just. Our own responses must reflect that same godly passion for holiness. Through repentance and Scripture, we realign our hearts to God's design, remembering that Jesus alone is the true temple, the resurrection and the life (John 11), and through Him, grace and forgiveness flow.

Jesus fulfils prophecy as the Son of God and Son of Man. Revealing His divine authority to save, forgive, and judge. Through His death and resurrection, He alone gives access to the Father - calling us to trust Him and share His saving love. Our response, therefore, is to trust His promises, rest in His providence, and share the good news of His saving love. Visit hopecitychurch.uk.com to find out more.

Discovering who we are in this world can be a struggle, especially without a relationship with God. But as we come to know Christ and understand His character more deeply, we begin to uncover our true identity and purpose. He is our Creator—the One who formed us and knows us completely, inside and out. Is the God we come to know, the God who John believed in (who He knew as Christ)?

We Will Never be Shaken // Psalm 15 - Dr. Chik Kaw Tan by Hope City Church

Psalm 14 shows that the greatest folly is to deny God's existence. The “fool” is not ignorant, but proud—living as if there is no God. This pride leads to corruption, sin, and a world marked by emptiness. Yet the Lord remains the refuge of His people, and in Christ, salvation has come from Zion. Though the world may mock, God will restore His people—and even in the face of unbelief, nothing can separate us from His steadfast love. To find out more visit hopecitychurch.uk.com

What do we do when surrounded by wickedness and evil and every side? How can we stay hopeful in times when the Church is in decline? Darren Banks preaches from Psalm 12.

Psalm 13 shows us that seasons of sorrow are real, but they are not the end of the story. David laments his pain, feeling distant from God and pressed by his enemies—yet his sorrow turns to prayer, and prayer to praise. Even in trials, God remains steadfast, and like David we are called to trust His word, pray, and worship—moving from pain to praise through the victory of Christ.

Prayer in the Dark // Psalm 10 - Dr. Chik Kaw Tan by Hope City Church

Not all advice is good - even when it sounds reasonable. Psalm 11 reminds us that faith doesn't flee in fear, it stands firm in God's promises. Seek counsel, yes - but only follow what aligns with God's Word and your calling that He has given you. Trust in the Lord, not in the counsel of unbelief. If you haven't already, we encourage you to read the psalms and follow along with us as we do this series in Psalms 9-15. There's so much we can learn even from just a verse in the bible.

This command confronts our natural tendency to misuse our words—we often underestimate how deeply our speech can affect others. Take time this week to reflect on how you speak, remembering that God meets us in our weakness. Through Christ, His strength becomes our strength, allowing us to speak truthfully, graciously, and with love. Visit hopecitychurch.uk.com to find out more.

Stealing can look different for each of us, because we all wrestle with different sins. It's not just taking someone's possessions - it can be rooted in jealousy, taking what isn't ours out of envy. Or even in less obvious ways, like showing favouritism or partiality. Choosing who we treat well based on our preferences rather than God's call to to love others equally. Do you trust that God's provision is what's best? Why?

The 7th Commandment | Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery - Exodus 20:14 // Graham Phillips by Hope City Church

The 6th commandment teaches us that not all killing is done unjustly. We too are to value and protect life as Christ does.

Honouring our parents reflects the character of Christ, who honoured God (our heavenly father) as we are called to honour our parents. Regardless of how our parents treat us - God gives us the grace to care for and forgive them.

The 4th Commandment | The Sabbath - Exodus 20:8-11 // Vijay Kaul by Hope City Church

It's so easy to take the Lord's name in vain - often without even realising it. But we must remember that His name is to be used with reverence and worship, not in anger or frustration.

True worship honours God alone, shaped by His word and not personal preference. Reflecting His truth with sincere obedience in Christ.
