We say we cannot believe in the invisible… but really we are instinctually drawn to and driven mad by it. God is invisible, and He made human beings with a capacity for the invisible. Who is the invisible God you are meeting as you journey in your faith? The question isn't ‘Is there a God?', it is ‘What does God want?' and ‘Who can I / we become?'. “Invisible God?” message by Charmaine J. at The Evolution, on 10 April 2022 at 2pm.

There are so many misconceptions about the “Narrow Gate”— we think it's the boring, uncool, and difficult route that's all about giving up stuff and losing ourselves. On the other hand, we assume the “Broad Gate” is the fun route— exciting, being rich, being popular. In this message, Christine flips the tables on our quick assumptions about following Jesus. Beyond the broad gate is actually a narrow life, and the narrow gate is actually the path that leads to adventure, happiness and becoming our best selves. “Which Road Are You On?” message by Christine Zhang at The Evolution, on 05 September 2021 at 2:00pm Youth Gathering.

Anger & broken relationships can become barriers to our experience of God's presence.

Nowadays the word integrity has become synonymous individuality and self-love. But what is Jesus' version of being ‘people of our word'? Christine shares how honesty and sincerity is the path to our best selves. That integrity without love is brutality. And that integrity is the way we build trust with each other, and find true peace in our lives. “Why Integrity?” message by Christine Zhang at The Evolution, on 15 August 2021 at 2:00pm.

It's our Anniversary! Our Lead Pastor Charmaine J. Nah shares her thoughts on what sort of future we want to build at The Evolution. Do we want religion or spirituality?

Worry is a natural part of our human existence. Whether it's this pandemic, our stages of life or just the daily grind—what are some ways we can respond? Zhi Han takes us through compensation—overcompensating positively, overcompensating negatively and undercompensating negatively. Never let legitimate external-worries turn into internal-anxieties. You are capable of moving forward productively! “Compensating For Worry” message by Kng Zhi Han at The Evolution, on 01 August 2021 at 2:00pm.

What comes to mind when you hear the words “Doing Good”? Building schools in a third world nation? Social justice advocate with 10,000 followers? Really, doing good is as simple as showing kindness to another human. It's not so we can feel good about ourselves, neither is it for gaining recognition and pay back in return. Our focus should be truly loving and making someone else's life better. “Doing Good” message by Regina Loo at The Evolution, on 25 July 2021 at 2:00pm.

This week, we dive into Jesus' take on “The law of adultery” and “The law of Divorce” in Matthew 5:27 - 32. We talk lust—that “do not lust” is not just about NOT cheating on a partner, it's about NEVER objectifying and commodifying another human being relationally or sexually. We also talk equality—that Jesus was not just teaching about adultery in general, He was confronting severe injustice against women in His time. Listen to this one, you might walk away realising Jesus was a feminist. “Lust, Equality & Feminism?” message by Charmaine J. Nah at The Evolution, on 18th July 2021 at 2:00pm.

There's been a whole lot of social media rage lately—when is it productive indignation? And when does it cross over unproductive ‘violence'? What's the alternative? And can we create real change that moves everyone forward? Through Matthew 5:21-26 and 5:38-42, Charmaine J. shows us that Jesus' non-violent justice is not weak justice. That real revolution in our world happens through repentance, reconciliation and restitution. Don't be a mere rebel. Be a revolutionary. “Productive Justice” message by Charmaine J.
