MY GOSPEL @ Desmond R Singh

Every servant of God can point to someone who profoundly shaped his ministry. For Brother Desmond R. Singh, that man was Brother Lloyd L. Goodwin. On the thirtieth anniversary of Brother Goodwin's passing, this lesson reflects on the remarkable chain of events that brought a young preacher from Guyana to the feet of a seasoned teacher in Iowa—and how that divine appointment helped shape a ministry that continues to proclaim biblical truth around the world. It is a moving testimony to God's providence, faithful discipleship, and the lasting influence of a life wholly devoted to the Scriptures.

Our two most senior elders, Brothers John & Sam, encouraged the congregation with these thoughts: “Unless you have a connection with the Lord, you will not know what it is to have “The angel of the Lord encamped round about you that fear Him, and delivereth you. '  ' You will not know what it is to “taste and see that the Lord is good, because blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”Without a personal relationship with the Lord, you have nothing to trust in when your back is against the wall, and your world is falling apart. The word of the Lord cannot be your stability and the Rock of your salvation if the word was never implanted into your soul.

Why does God allow earthquakes, wildfires, wars, economic uncertainty, and personal suffering? Are these merely random events, or are they part of a greater divine purpose? In this timely message, Brother Desmond R. Singh reminds us that God never acts without purpose. While the nations grow increasingly unstable and Bible prophecy unfolds before our eyes, the Lord is doing something even more important than revealing future events—He is preparing a people for His Kingdom.

True worship is the active, heartfelt expression of gratitude, reverence, and devotion to God, beyond mere religious formality or routine. Our service on Sunday overflowed with joy and thanksgiving. Brother Vid received a healing on the July 4th Independence Day weekend. Often we do not understand God's will for our lives. We may be confused when He chooses to heal one person but not another. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts”   (Isaiah 55:8-9).To meet protocol requirements for this podcast, it is divided into two parts. To hear Brother Vid's miraculous stories and powerful testimonies from several saints, including Sister Chan, listen to each part in full.

The ministry is not merely a calling—it is a lifelong burden entrusted by God.In this sobering message, Brother Desmond Singh examines the weight of pastoral responsibility in an age marked by spiritual complacency, declining commitment, and widespread doctrinal error. Drawing from Scripture and decades of ministry experience, he reminds both shepherds and saints that God's work cannot be sustained by talent, tradition, or convenience, but only through faithful obedience, vigilance, and a heart wholly surrendered to Christ. This timely message challenges every believer to consider their responsibility to strengthen the Body of Christ before His soon return.

The term “the bride of Christ” is widely misunderstood. Many Christians assume that everyone who is saved automatically belongs to the Bride who will reign with Christ. Yet Scripture presents a far more searching picture. Throughout the Bible, the bride is portrayed as a virtuous woman—set apart, faithful, and wholly devoted to her Bridegroom.

When disasters become daily headlines, it is easy to dismiss them as simply another news cycle. Yet Scripture paints a far different picture. Brother Desmond Singh opens the pages of Leviticus, Matthew, and Revelation to reveal that the shaking of the nations is neither random nor meaningless. God's judgments are righteous, His warnings are merciful, and His invitation to salvation remains open. This essay reflects on this sobering but hope-filled message in today's essay, "Hat the Land Not Spew You Out."

In every generation, God raises up servants whose calling is not to build their own reputation but to faithfully declare His Word. Yet as the world changes and new challenges arise, God's people still need spiritual discernment rooted in Scripture and guided by the mind of Christ. In this reflective essay, inspired by a message from Brother Desmond Singh, we explore the dangers of religious traditionalism, the necessity of God's living guidance in every age, and the transforming power of a gospel meant not merely to be believed but to be lived."For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake." — 2 Corinthians 4:5

Have you ever wondered why two people can hear the very same message, yet one embraces it while the other walks away unchanged? In this thought-provoking lesson, Brother Desmond Singh explores the difference between simply hearing the gospel and experiencing genuine conversion. Drawing from the writings of the Apostle Paul, he shows that salvation is far more than accepting a set of beliefs—it is the transformation of the heart and the renewal of the mind. From the confusion of our modern world to Paul's own dramatic conversion, this message reminds us that God's purpose is to reproduce the very mind of Christ within His people. It is a call to move beyond religion, beyond tradition, and beyond outward profession into a living relationship with Jesus Christ. Join us as we consider the challenge of Philippians 2:5: "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."

Can God still speak to His people today, or did His word fall silent when the biblical canon was completed? In this thought-provoking essay, we examine a controversy sparked by Brother Singh's teaching on the Parable of the Sower and explore whether God's ministry is limited to 'poly-parroting' ancient words—or whether the Holy Spirit still illuminates present truth for present conditions.

In this lesson, Brother Singh honors four fathers: His earthly father, his initial spiritual father, his second spiritual father who led him into truth, and our Heavenly Father.

Have you ever felt that God should have given up on you by now?Perhaps a trial exposed a weakness you thought you had conquered. Perhaps a circumstance revealed fear, pride, resentment, or unbelief still lurking beneath the surface. We are often surprised by our own imperfections, but God is not.In this message, Brother Singh reminds us that the Lord is a Potter working patiently with imperfect clay. Every trial, every correction, and every word of present truth serves a purpose in His hands. The goal is not to condemn us, but to transform us.The miracle of God's grace is not that He finds flawless vessels. The miracle is that He refuses to throw flawed ones away.

"What does it mean to hold fast without wavering in an age of confusion, compromise, and spiritual deception? In this message, Brother Singh examines the difference between sin and iniquity, drawing lessons from ancient Israel's failures and God's dealings with His people. From the wilderness of Moses to the warnings of Isaiah and the exhortations of Hebrews, we are reminded that God's standard has never changed. As the world drifts further from biblical truth, believers are called to remain faithful, pursue sanctification, and cling to the hope set before them. This is 'Hold Fast Without Wavering.'"

In this message, Brother Singh reflects on the difference between knowing truth and walking in truth. He reminds us that spiritual blindness cannot be cured by argument alone, but only when God opens the heart to receive His Word. Drawing from the Parable of the Sower, he discusses the practical challenges facing believers today and explains why God's ministry must address present-day conditions with timeless biblical principles. Throughout this informal yet thought-provoking message, Brother Singh emphasizes that truth is not merely something to be learned, but something to be lived.May the Lord speak to your heart as you listen to "Progressive Truth."

In this episode, we reflect on one of the most difficult realities of spiritual life: truth is progressive, and every generation must decide whether it will walk in the light God is revealing today. Beginning on a hillside beside the Sea of Galilee, where thousands heard Jesus declare Himself the Bread of Life, this essay explores how present truth has always challenged religious tradition, human comfort, and settled beliefs.

Tonight's message from the Des Moines Convention is a sobering call to self-examination. Brother Singh reflects on more than fifty years among the saints and challenges believers and ministers alike to consider whether their lives truly reflect the holiness and Spirit of Christ. In an age where truth is often admired but seldom obeyed, this message reminds us that genuine Christianity is more than a form—it is a transformed life. May each of us honestly ask whether we are merely hearing the Word of God, or truly living it.

In a world overshadowed by spiritual darkness, God still calls His people to walk in the light of revealed truth. This message explores the distinction between religious knowledge and genuine revelation, reminding us that transformation comes only when God illuminates the heart. Drawing on the Song of Solomon, the teachings of Jesus Christ, and the writings of the Apostle John, Brother Singh exhorts believers to rise from spiritual slumber, seek sincere fellowship with God, and continue the lifelong journey of sanctification.“God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.”

Brother Sam opens tonight's service by discussing watering a message. Paul wrote: “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase” (1 Corinthians 3:6).  The Apostle completed the thought this way: “He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor.” (v. 8, Paraphrased). Brother Singh admits that, in his early years, his zeal to preach often led him to develop a critical spirit. Over time, however, and through the application of God's word, he has become more compassionate—not due to his own goodness, but as a reflection of the mercy and grace of Christ Jesus upon him.

In this sobering message, Brother Singh reminds the saints that Christianity is more than a profession — it is illumination expressed through daily living. Drawing on Revelation, Ephesians, and the teachings of Christ, this lesson warns against spiritual decline, religious hypocrisy, and the loss of our first love. God's light was never meant to remain a doctrine we admire, but a lifestyle we embody. As believers, we are called to move continually from darkness into light, allowing the character of Christ to shine through humility, sincerity, sacrifice, and faithful service.

Faith is more than inspiration—it is participation. Preaching in Elmont, New York, Brother Singh challenged the saints to move beyond words into works, prayer, sacrifice, and obedience. From Moses' refusal of Egypt to Christ's call to take up our cross daily, this message reminds us that salvation must be confirmed through a life of enduring faithfulness. May we not merely hear the truth, but do it.

Tonight's message from Brother Singh in Westbury, New York, was a solemn reminder that sanctification is not merely a doctrine we profess, but a lifelong work God performs in the hearts of His people. True ministry was never ordained to entertain the saints, but to perfect them through truth, correction, and spiritual growth.

In this sweeping lesson, Brother Singh takes us on a scriptural journey back to Genesis 1, to give us a wee glimpse into what Jesus meant in His pattern prayer, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Luke 11:2). While millions of professing Christians anticipate their souls ascending to heaven at death, we are blessed to serve God under a ministry that teaches us in Spirit and in truth.  David is in his grave to this day, along with Peter and Paul.  Only Jesus has ascended to the Father. Everyone else who has ever lived awaits the resurrection of the dead.

In an age overflowing with preaching, how do we discern what is truly from God? Jesus warned that many would come in His name and deceive many. The danger is not always obvious—because deception rarely appears as darkness. It often comes as light. In this sobering message, we are reminded that our greatest enemy is not easily recognized. From the systems that shape our world to the subtle allegiances in our own hearts, the line between truth and deception is thinner than we think.“Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”This is a call to spiritual discernment, unwavering truth, and wholehearted devotion to the will of God.

Faith is not merely something we profess—it is something we live. It refuses the world, chooses Christ, and esteems eternal promises above present realities. It stands when circumstances oppose it, believes when evidence is absent, and obeys when the cost is high.If we were truly changed into what we “ought to be,” then faith must become more than a concept—it must become our way of life. For in the end, it is not those who heard, but those who believed, obeyed, and endured, who will receive the good report—and enter into the joy of their Lord.

In today's episode, we reflect on a vital principle for every believer: how we conduct ourselves in the house of God. Drawing on the Psalms, Paul's teachings, and the instruction to Timothy, Brother Singh reminds us that worship is not meant to be chaotic or careless, but rather reverent, purposeful, and edifying. God is not the author of confusion, but of peace—and His people are called to reflect that order. Let us consider what it truly means for all things to be done decently and in order.

Have we drifted from the simplicity that once defined our walk with God? In this sobering reflection, we are reminded that the power of the gospel is not found in eloquence, emotion, or outward display—but in a sincere, surrendered heart. As the early church discovered, and as we must rediscover, true faith thrives in simplicity. This message gently calls us back to a faith that is sincere, unembellished, and anchored in Christ alone.

It was good to welcome Brother Sam back after a brief absence. He kept abreast, setting a good example as an elder who returned prepared for what had transpired in his absence. Recapping several of Brother Singh's recent lessons, he settled on one piercing question: “If you could have only one, would you desire a gift of the Spirit, such as healing or prophecy, or would you desire the fruit of the Spirit?”

What does true unity in the church actually look like? In this message, we return to the Day of Pentecost—the moment the New Testament church was born—to examine how obedience, truth, and the Holy Spirit brought believers into one accord. The pattern has not changed.

Many Christians believe their commitment to God is sufficient—but what if it could be measured and found lacking? In this sobering reflection, we examine the difference between profession and true devotion, and the standard by which God measures His people. This message challenges us to reconsider what true commitment to God looks like, and whether our lives would stand the test if measured by His standard.

Brother Jason shares how growing up in a Godly family, rooted in the Body of Christ and guided by Brother Singh's ministry, has profoundly shaped his faith and character. Stability and continuity have anchored his journey, yet his formative years were marked by deep sorrow as he faced the loss of his mother to cancer. Despite this tragedy, the unwavering support of his church and his father's love provided a source of continual hope and resilience.

In reviewing our Wednesday lesson, Blessings—Redefined, Brother James sought clarification on gifts of the Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit. While the gifts of the Spirit are valuable, they can foster pride if not approached with humility. In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit grows in a humble heart and reflects Christlike character, serving as evidence of spiritual maturity.

In this lesson, Brother Singh explores the contrast between the blessings promised to God's people, Israel, under the Old Covenant, and the blessings described by Jesus in Matthew 5. The concept of "blessing" shifts dramatically from the Old Testament Law to the teachings of Jesus. Many Gentile believers today claim the blessings intended for the Jews, often overlooking the associated curses. Deuteronomy, authored by Moses, highlights collective prosperity and physical security as rewards for obedience. In contrast, Matthew 5 (the Beatitudes) centers on the individual's inner life and their connection to the Kingdom of Heaven.

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? When He called His first disciples, they left everything behind—yet they had little understanding of where that path would lead. In this message, we explore the cost of true discipleship, the danger of seeking earthly rewards, and the necessity of waiting for God's power rather than manufacturing our own spiritual experience. Following Christ is not about immediate gain, but about faithful obedience to a calling that unfolds over time.

What does it truly mean to walk with God in a world full of distraction, compromise, and subtle idolatry? In this sobering and practical message, Brother Singh challenges us to examine our daily lives—not just our profession of faith, but also our priorities, attitudes, and obedience. From turning a “hit list” into a prayer list to confronting the hidden idols of modern life, this lesson calls believers to active discipleship, genuine sanctification, and a deeper, more intentional walk with the Lord.

In a world where many preach comfort without cost, this message confronts a deeper truth: God produces fruit in our lives through pruning, not ease. Drawing on the words of Jesus in John 15, this teaching explores what it really means to abide in Christ, to endure His refining process, and to bear the fruit that pleases the Father. Though the pruning may be painful, it is never without purpose—it is God's way of shaping us into vessels of lasting spiritual fruit. If you've ever questioned why God allows seasons of hardship, correction, or stretching, this message will help you understand the divine purpose behind it.

The natural tendency of humanity in its fallen state is to deny guilt when confronted with wrongdoing. In this Easter Sunday message, Brother Singh emphasized that God is less concerned with our sins themselves and more with the attitude we bring before Him. A broken and contrite heart, as described in Psalm 51:17, demonstrates true sorrow for sin, genuine humility, and complete surrender to God, rather than simply performing outward rituals. King David's openness in admitting his faults and seeking forgiveness was what made him a man after God's own heart.

Today's lesson is called “Jesus: Son of Man, Son of God.” Although theologians complicate these terms, the gospel was meant for ordinary people like you and me. So, Brother Singh explores what these titles really mean—and why they matter for our everyday lives. Through Scripture and a simple, real-life story, we'll see how Jesus fully understands us in our humanity while also carrying the power and authority of God. And along the way, we'll be reminded that faith isn't just something we believe—it's something we live out through compassion, prayer, and love for others.

Why do so many churches claiming Christ as their head sound so different? In this episode, we dive into the timeless challenge of church unity, exploring the Corinthian church's struggles with division and factionalism. Learn why allegiance to personalities can fracture faith, why God-ordained leadership matters, and how every believer can build on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ. Join us as we uncover practical lessons from Paul, Apollos, Peter, and the early church—reminding us that growth comes from God, and unity comes from Him alone."

In preparation for sharing communion, Brother Singh continues his teaching on self-examination. Using Isaiah 53 he examines the difference between our transgressions (or sins) and iniquity, a subject that few Christians understand.

Brother Sam emphasizes that conversion is a gradual journey, often with setbacks. He clarifies that it is not a singular, transformative event, but an ongoing process of growth. He urges our saints not to be discouraged but to stay the course of pursuing holiness, using this preparation time before Easter to honestly evaluate our walk in Christ. Following Brother Sam's message, Sister Carol speaks from the heart. She testifies about her ongoing struggle to balance her church commitments and the pressures of the world. Although she has thrived under Brother Singh's ministry, she views her life as a constant effort to resist the subtle temptations of business and the demands of a busy life schedule.

There is a difference between knowing the Scriptures and being changed by them. Many can quote the words of God, yet few come before Him with a truly broken and contrite heart. In this message, Brother Singh calls us to honest self-examination—not a surface-level confession, but a deep, inward cleansing. Drawing from Psalm 51 and the life of David, we are reminded that true conversion is not about appearances but about a heart humbled, surrendered, and transformed before God.

As we enter this season, many people are reflecting on the death and resurrection of Jesus. But we need to ask ourselves—do we really understand what His suffering was for? The Scripture says He was wounded for our transgressions. That's not just a familiar verse—it carries a serious responsibility. In this message, we're going to look at what Christ's sacrifice truly means, and why it calls us to examine not only our sins, but also how we worship and live before God.

Building on Brother Singh's Wednesday lesson, Brother Sam challenges our little congregation to evaluate our lives: Are we truly following the Lamb (Revelation 14:4), or are we, unknowingly, following after the beast of Revelation 13:3? Before we respond too hastily, we should thoughtfully consider how much of each week we devote to God compared to the time spent on worldly pursuits—such as work, financial planning, entertainment, and other secular responsibilities.

In a world overflowing with religious voices, how do we discern truth from deception? In this sobering message, Brother Singh challenges us to move beyond speculation and confront the condition of our own hearts. Drawing from the warnings of Jude and the final words of the Apostle Paul, this teaching calls believers to contend for the original faith, endure sound doctrine, and press forward—even when we have not yet apprehended. The question is not whether religion will remain, but whether true faith will be found.

In a world shaken by war, politics, and uncertainty, many are asking if we are nearing the end. But the real question is not about global events—it is deeply personal. Are we truly following Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, or are we unknowingly aligning ourselves with the systems of this world? This message challenges us to examine who really governs our thoughts, our choices, and our lives.

In light of the ongoing conflict with Iran, Brother Singh'smessage from February 28, 2026—“Wars & Rumors of Wars”—reminds us of the prophetic words of Jesus Christ: “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, butthe end is not yet” (Matthew 24:6).Whenever a major conflict or disaster occurs, some preachers are quick to proclaim the end of the age and the imminent return of Christ. Yet our Lord cautioned His disciples that nations would rise against nations, and kingdoms against kingdoms. There would be famines and earthquakes in various places—but these are only the beginning of birth pains. He also warned that false prophets would arise and deceive many.

Our congregation was exhorted by our elders in Sunday's service, March 8, 2026. Brother John, Brother Moses, Brother Vid, and Brother Sam combine to encourage the saints in these difficult times and to praise and thank God for His mercy and goodness.
