Ecclesiastes 7-9 talks about wisdom, but chapter 10 talks about foolishness; warning us of the dangers of foolishness. This message from P. Edmound focuses on foolishness in people, high places, actions, words, and daily life.

Life can be unpredictable and often unpleasant. How do we deal with an unjust world? Ecclesiastes 8 talks about wisdom and submission, and the effect wisdom has on your life. Wisdom can make your face shine and your heart tender amid the darkness and harshness of life. We continue our series on Ecclesiastes this weekend with P. Edmound!

Happy Lunar New Year, ICA! This weekend we are taking a break from our series on Ecclesiastes as P. Peter Kwon shares a message with us about Blessings. What specifically makes a life a "blessed" one? How can we experience that? Join us as we talk about all this and more!  

While the first half of Ecclesiastes could be characterised by the word “vanity”, Solomon pivots from this for a section beginning in chapter 7 which can be summed up by the word “better”. God shows us that some of the medicine that tastes the worst has the best cure, and Solomon reflects on his experience; sharing about the better things in life we often overlook.

Ecclesiastes tells us that the answers to life are not found in the things of this life. We worship God, not riches. Only proper and biblical worship is acceptable to God. We should draw near to hear what God has revealed through his Word!

In Ecclesiastes, we find the question: “What profit has a man from all his labour in which he toils under the sun?” What profit is there in life when viewed from an earthly perspective? Without God, life is meaningless. P. Ed helps us navigate these questions and more in our first message series this year; Is Life Worth Living?

We have good news of great joy, for unto you is born this day a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord! Jesus is the King of Glory who has come for us, and He deserves all glory in the highest. So let us come and worship Him!

In the days when the Caesars ruled with an iron fist, the King of Glory came in humility, in the form of a baby laid in a manger. Jesus is a king like no other. We rejoice that Jesus did not choose to remain on His throne of glory but to step down to be with us. How can we learn from His example of humility this Christmas season?

God made a promise to David that through one of his descendants, his Kingdom would be established forever. One thousand years later, this promise is fulfilled through Jesus. Jesus reigns with an everlasting Kingdom that is unshakable, ever-increasing and knows no end. Jerry Gunawan shares this message on Jesus, The Promised King this weekend.

John the Baptist came in the midst of darkness, to turn people back to the Lord. John proclaimed salvation and the cancellation of all our sins because of God's loving kindness. We too, like John, can carry this message of salvation to a world that desperately needs Jesus. We begin our Christmas series, Our King Has Come, with this message from Ps. Josh Pettigrew.

Jesus Christ was glorified by suffering, and it turns out that the glory of the church comes from sharing the suffering of Christ. In the face of external challenges, do not forget the care of the Great Shepherd Jesus Christ. He will guide you through all kinds of trials. In kind, shepherding and caring for the members of the church will lead to our heavenly reward. P. Ed closes our series on 1 Peter with this message on glory in suffering.

We are no strangers to suffering. Because of our love and devotion to Jesus, we are often ridiculed and treated unfairly by others. This weekend, P. Betty continues our study on 1 Peter, which reminds us again of the example of Christ's suffering. It is an opportunity to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth in the face of persecution.

Authority can be a touchy subject, but it is one we will tackle this weekend with Ps. Fraun and Ps. Jacob. We have inevitably been disappointed and wounded by authorities in the past, but Peter reminds us as pilgrims on earth, we serve the greatest King. When we follow the steps of our Shepherd we will find peace in our soul and influence others to receive the grace of life.

After The Red Sea we move to the Jordan River; seen as a river of beginnings for Joshua and the Israelites who crossed it. Likewise, there are all kinds of Jordans that God calls us to cross and start anew. He calls us to cross over and do something different, to do things we have never done before, to do something new. Do you trust Him?

Over the next month, we will be studying just a few of the many water stories in the Bible, and we begin this series at the Red Sea where the Israelites faced a challenge from which there was no way out. God parting the waters for them was the only option! We likewise at one point or another have faced or will face a Red Sea situation. Join us this weekend as Ps. Ken Goh takes us through what we can do when we face one.

Job taught us that there is no direct connection between someone's piety and their corresponding prosperity. Nevertheless, God rewards Job for his faithfulness. God does this not because Job deserves anything from Him but because God is gracious, good and always keeps his word. He is the giver, not the taker!

God does this not because Job deserves anything from Him but because God is gracious, good and always keeps his word. He is the giver, not the taker!

It is in suffering that we hear God speak! As we continue our study of Job, we discover that the problem is not that God is indifferent to His people, but that his people are indifferent to Him. We do not seek God because of who He is but only turn to Him in times of trial when we want or need something. This weekend, we'll learn about how to break from that indifference and hear God speak!

Job now turns to seek God's wisdom. Job declares, “The fear of the Lord is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.” Everything done apart from godly wisdom is meaningless. Instead of asking "why?", we are to worship and God will guide us through in His divine wisdom. The sufferer has become the teacher and the seeker of divine wisdom.

This message raises the difficult question of whether or not Job sins by engaging in this lament and by cursing of his own birth. The more intensely Job seeks an answer to his question, the more he realizes that there is a gap between man's understanding and God's way, that no amount of human wisdom can fathom.

Many people lose sight of God's promises when tragedy and sorrow strike. They say, “If God is good, why does He permit evil to plague His children?” In response, we can draw one of three conclusions: either God doesn't care, He doesn't exist, or we have a misconception of His plans and purposes, and we have been attributing blame to the wrong source for all of the suffering. God does have a higher purpose and a bigger plan.

The plumb line ensures a wall is centred and sturdy. Similarly, in order for us to live in alignment with God's will, we cannot neglect spiritual practices in our daily lives. After the Rebuilding Project, Nehemiah led the people in celebration, but he also dealt with their irresponsibility and disobedience. The rebuilding of their hearts was ultimately more important than the rebuilding of the wall.

This weekend, we welcome David Chilver to continue our series on Nehemiah. Every crisis presents an opportunity for us to surrender to God's work and plan, so we shouldn't be surprised when opposition comes our way. Nehemiah knew what he was building was far more important than the negativity and derision he faced. Be focused on God's good work and know that He will fight for you!

As you pursue the completion of the good work there must be proactive action. As Nehemiah focused on his mission, he took active steps to plan, assess, and review the rebuilding project. Rebuilding takes effort, hard work, intentionality and teamwork. When we are honest with ourselves and there is a willingness to change, we can move forward. What steps are you taking in your rebuilding project?

We begin a new series The Rebuilding Project, about Nehemiah and the rebuilding of Jerusalem. Nehemiah teaches us that though circumstances may wear us down and our faith may be shaken, there is always an opportunity for us to rebuild. When Nehemiah saw a need in his life, it stirred him to pray. Through prayer, Nehemiah pursued God's work and his life was never the same again. How can you prepare yourself to be used by God?

Ephesians reminds us of our true enemy. One of the reasons there is so much division and tension in this world is because we have been wasting our time and resources fighting the wrong enemy. Our ultimate enemy is spiritual and invisible in nature. Paul calls us to know our enemy, put on our spiritual armour, stand guard, and persist in prayer and the word.

Ephesians reminds us that the home is the impetus for revival. True revival starts when there is private, individual, personal imitation of God which impacts our most intimate relationships. Paul reminds us that our marriages should be public displays of the faithful and sacrificial love Christ has for the Church. The gospel should dramatically impact how we treat our spouse, children and parents; and finally the workplace and community. In short, the gospel transforms all of our relationships, starting in the heart and then the home.

Ephesians reminds us of the source of our unity. Our hearts grieve over the dividing lines constantly drawn in our world. This message reminds us that unity and peace is possible but we can only be united because of Christ.

P. Ed continues our series on Ephesians by looking into the world's ultimate problem. We like to think the world's problems are people, ideologies, and politics. However, Ephesians reminds us of the root of all real problems is sin, a deadly disease of which we are each a carrier. Only Jesus can save and deliver us from its power and penalty.

We begin a new message series, Revival, which is a study of the book of Ephesians. P. Ed starts us off with a message about hope, as Ephesians reminds us of our ultimate hope: being found in Christ. Only in Christ can we find the ultimate solution to our problems and the source of eternal joy.

When Peter had companionship with Jesus, he succeeded. Without it, he failed. Jesus restored his life and empowered him with the Holy Spirit. Like Peter, we all have failures that make us undeserving or unqualified but we can learn from Peter's example, to prepare ourselves for God to revive us again. Ps. Fraun Chung, accompanied by Ps. Jacob, shares about Peter as we close out our series on The Twelve

No matter what sins you have committed in the past, you are not beyond repair. You can always go to God and ask for forgiveness. Not only can God make you a new person in Christ, but He wants to use you to help others do the same.

Being pragmatic is good, but sometimes God calls us to see Him beyond our logic and pragmatism. We see the heart of Jesus wanting to lead Philip to trust Him beyond his logic. This is His heart for us, that we would live by faith, not by sight.

John is famously known as the “Apostle of Love”, but prior to that, he was known as a “Son of Thunder”. The transformation in his life stemmed from encountering and experiencing the love of Christ and abiding in His love.

Material wealth is good, but only if we use them to achieve the greater purpose that God has given us. We must not make wealth as the end of itself, but rather only a means to the end. Judas made the mistake of putting more importance on money that does not offer lasting happiness.

In week 2 of our series on The Twelve, Ps. Betty Chung introduces us to Andrew; the first called disciple. Though he may have lived in the shadow of his brother Peter, he was faithful to his calling, he showed humility and he lived a lifestyle of personal evangelism.

Although James was an insider with the Lord Jesus, he did not have the same popularity and recognition as Peter and John. However, he finished the race marked out for him and became the first apostle to be martyred.

Sex is a gift from God. A healthy and happy marriage flourishes only when sex is enjoyed exclusively. This is because sex is like fire; where you place it will determine if it brings blessing or curse. This weekend's message will help you better understand the gift of sex in marriage and how to avoid sexual sin.

The marriage relationship is the most intimate and important of all human relationships, but sadly the institution of marriage is quite often misunderstood. When you examine the question of male and female relationships in marriage, two questions come to mind: What does it mean to be a man? What does it mean to be a woman? We will get into these questions in this series starting in this message with P. Ed!

Man's greatest enemy is death. While most people ignore or even fear death, Jesus reassures us with this last “I Am” statement that He is indeed Resurrection and Life. Because of His sacrifice on the cross, death is not the end but rather the beginning of eternal life.
