SJAG Sermons

Jesus preaches more about giving generously than about tithing. Living through New Testament times gives us the freedom to give freely and generously to the Lord's work so that His house may be a thriving place of worship.

An offering is precious when it comes from the right intent and attitude unto the Lord. Generosity is not something to practice when you have a surplus, but a lifestyle to embrace as believers. It's time to sow generously and share the multifold with others.

From the time of salvation, God wants us to grow from glory to glory. We cannot remain at the same level. Dr Ai shows through the Word and his personal testimony how testing, turning from the past and trusting God always leads us to the next level, for His glory.

One encounter with Jesus can change the direction of an entire life. Learn about Dr. Paul Ai's journey with Christ, how he turned from black magic to becoming a powerful vessel for God's mission and the many testimonies that have flowed through his life.

Paul teaches that generous giving should be intentional, done with the right heart, and lead to generous results. Generosity is not because God needs our money, but because the world needs our love, and it shapes us to become more like Christ.

The Holy Spirit lives in us to reveal the mysteries of God. We can therefore be confident that we possess spiritual wisdom. Life is full of fresh possibilities as the Spirit prepares us for new things and helps us discern all things. Let's partner with Him as we step into a new horizon!

Christ equips every believer to serve, mature, and build one another up. May we move forward by going deeper into spiritual maturity. Each of us has a role to play. Let us build one another up, so that a mentored believer becomes a mentoring believer.

The favour of God is how God looks at you and goes before you. How do we find favour in the sight of God? It's time to humble ourselves before Him, live righteously and ask for the anointing of God. Believe in more today!

In 2026, we endeavour to be a strong disciple-making church that connects, equips, mentors, and releases disciples who will transform the world around them.

As 2025 ends and 2026 arrives, let's continue with our act of moving into a new horizon in all aspects. The Holy Spirit will help us to be strong finishers. Enter the new year refreshed in perspective!

Christ is still enough because He rules over all creation and holds all things together. Through Him, we receive forgiveness, new life, and completeness before God. His grace sustains us in our weakness. Let us depend on His strength and choose to be Christ-sufficient.

Despite our troubled world, Christmas is a reminder that Jesus was born for us and our redemption. He is our hope, our wonderful counsellor, our merciful saviour who leads us to genuine repentance. Christmas gives us a reason to celebrate an eternal future with our Lord!

Being more like Jesus means living with hearts rooted in Him, demonstrating justice, mercy, and humility in every choice, and reflecting His love and character in all we do. The baton has now been passed to us and let us choose to grow ever more like Jesus.

How is Jesus worthy of all our blessing, honour and glory? Come discover the depth of His kingly sacrifice and authority as the sacrificial lamb and the conquering lion revealed in Revelation 5:1-14. He is worthy of our worship!

How do we know Jesus is the Son of God and not just an ordinary man? The Bible shows how He is the Son who reveals God the Father, the Creator of all things, and the One who can reconcile us to God. Let's cast aside all doubt - Jesus is worthy of our trust!

Serving God is a marathon and requires leaders to build resilience even when challenges arise. Build resilience by spending time in the power and grace of God, allowing him to renew you and lead you in His everlasting ways.

Paul's message to the church of Ephesus upon his departure reveals powerful insights on Christian leadership. As God's people of influence, we must commit to honouring Christ, the church of Christ, and the plan of God above all. Let's realign ourselves so His mission goes unhindered!

Just as Joshua led the people forward, both the young and the old are invited to walk together in God's mission by learning, guiding, empowering, and stepping out in faith when God asks them to move. Are you living out God's calling with humility, responsibility or courage, and where is God asking you to “step into the water” today?

We can be useful to God, whatever our situation. God uses ordinary vessels to do the extraordinary. He seeks willing vessels that are cleansed, consecrated, and filled with His Spirit. Let's avail ourselves for the Master's use!

A shepherd leader is one who serves the Lord with good motivation, exemplary character, and a joyful and humble attitude. In our service to God, let us lead as shepherd leaders - not by position, but by example; choosing to do so for the benefit of the flock.

As we tear down empty worship and rise in spirit and truth, our whole lives become the altar where every word, action, and moment become an offering of genuine love. This is the worship God desires, alive within us and expressed through a life that honours Him completely. Will you build the next altar, one that you have never known before?

In seasons of desperation, worship must begin with faith. The inward realisation of who God is leads to an external declaration of praise. Our worship leads us from the desert to a place of peace, where we recognise His goodness in our lives.

When we worship God, let us do so authentically as we are moved by the Spirit. Our human nature may try to pull us away from the truth of who God is, but let us not diminish God's greatness. Instead let's recognise that He is closer than we think.

True worship expresses both our honour and obedience to God. The call to worship shows our willingness to come before Him, while the expression of worship reflects the intensity of our devotion. At the same time, worship must also reveal our obedience through a heart that listens to God and follows His ways. Our hearts must be at rest in Him to worship God rightly, with sincerity, reverence, and faith.

Wherever we are, the Lord has placed purpose in our lives. Be planted and rooted in communities where He asks of us to be an impact, a significant presence. Let's learn from how the third seed flourished: to be planted in faith, watered in hope and grown in supernatural love.

The commands and teachings of Jesus are counter cultural - they require us to serve without drawing attention to ourselves. Instead, the Holy Spirit partners with us, allowing us to be transformed so that we can love our neighbours as ourselves.

The church is called to be a lighthouse, a beacon of hope beyond our walls. By serving and pastoring the community around us, we can create opportunities to share the gospel. Let's bring the light of Jesus into our communities!

Are we acting justly? God calls His people to live with integrity by doing what is right, even when it is not easy, and by loving mercy. True faith is not revealed in rituals but in daily actions that reflect God's character. Let us walk humbly with Him and let our lives reveal His character.

Building God-fearing families needs to be intentional. Parents need to model biblical teaching and the love for God in daily life so that children will be able to grow rooted in Christ. It is God's desire for families to live long in His blessings.

The heart is constantly at war between doing what's right and wrong. Thankfully, the Lord never abandons us, providing comfort and strength in our weakest moments. Sin may tempt us into wrongdoings, but in Christ we have the victory.

We live in a fallen world where bad exists along with good. How do we shine through tough times so we can lead others to God? We need to discern His heart, determine to persevere, and decide to live for His glory.

We live between two kingdoms, the earthly and the heavenly. While we respect earthly authority, our true loyalty is to God's kingdom, which is eternal and already present through Christ. As citizens of heaven, let us set our hearts on what matters to God and respond with prayer, faith, and hope.

There are still people in the field who have not heard of the good news of Christ. Paul teaches that unless we send out workers, the world will not be able to call upon the Lord. Whether we offer our finances or our lives, the Lord can move in amazing ways.

As believers, we have the hope of glory, Christ in us. Feeding on the Word of God and being obedient to Him enables us to emanate the life-giving aroma of Christ. Let's purpose to bring the fragrance of Jesus to everyone around us.

The term Christians (Christ-like) was coined for the Antiochian church by the masses. Today, let's learn more about their obedience and service unto the Lord. This day, how can we be more visible and thoughtful to our community?

Mission begins with our encounters with God, just as Jacob's struggle led to a new identity and purpose. It is also shaped by God's call, which reveals His powerful works and invites us to do even greater things through the Holy Spirit. As we hear the cries of the lost, we must ask: who will bring them the good news? Let us not stay silent. Let us rise and be mission inspired!

The real power of Pentecost is not in the wind or fire, but the Holy Spirit's ability to change people. The transforming work in Peter is something that still happens in us today. Don't hold on to the past, it's time to be open to a new move of the Spirit. Do you want the Holy Spirit wholeheartedly?

Yielding to the leadership of the Holy Spirit positions us to partner with the Holy Spirit in accomplishing the purposes of God. A believer who yields to the Spirit is someone who pursues God, possesses passion for Him, and receives power from God.

When you believe in Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes to live in you, bringing new birth, true freedom, deep joy, and power that overflows like rivers of living water. Let His living water flow through you today, refreshing not only your own heart but also those around you. Let us be bold for Jesus!

Like David, who often asked God to search his heart and lead him on the right path, we grow in wisdom when we live with purpose, honour God, and make the most of our time. It's about building good habits, reflecting often, and staying close to His presence. Surround yourself with people of faith, and let Christ remain your ultimate goal.

Church unity is biblical and a form of effective witness to the world. Disunity and unforgiveness dilutes God's power and presence. Today, reach out in love and harmony to reflect God's glory.

Life in the Spirit is contrary to life in the flesh. Following the way of the Holy Spirit will see us serve others in love, experience life and peace by satisfying the Spirit's desires and yield the fruit of the Spirit. Let's live empowered by the Holy Spirit!

To live for Christ, we need to have self-awareness of our relationship with Christ, empty ourselves so that God can fill us, place Christ at the center of our lives, and embrace the knowledge that following Christ is a lifelong process.

God's Word is unchangeable and timeless. We can grow in the knowledge of God by reading, receiving, revering and responding to His Word. Let's purpose to move deeper as both hearers and doers of the Word. 

Let's aspire to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord. Seek and pursue the spirit of God, as it is our ultimate purpose to know Jesus Christ. It's time to go beyond, to be no longer immature.

When the Spirit falls, we experience God's presence, receive His guidance, and are renewed. He speaks to all people and restores what is broken. Even when the world is shaken, His kingdom remains, and His love never fails.

Parenthood is a God-given purpose to raise young lives to reflect the love and glory of God. It is a joy, a blessing and an opportunity to experience the goodness of God. Parents shape the faith and future of their children, and their children's children.

A family unit that seeks to glorify God is still suceptible to certain threats such as parental favouritism, siblings rivalry, disagreements and lack of communication. It's time to recognise these difficulties and bring it to God, for the results of a broken family bond can bring severe negative generational impact.

Flaws are present in all families, even Christian ones. Unaddressed issues can lead to dysfunction in our homes. Thankfully, the dark side does not have to define our reality. Take the path to healing today by surrendering it all into God's redeeming hands.

A godly home begins with fearing God, allowing His Word to shape us, and trusting His plan. He blesses families who honour Him, guiding their steps and giving them peace. While it is easy to say we love God, true reverence leads us to walk carefully and faithfully with Him.

A genuine expression of love for God comes from our total surrender to Him. When we learn to love God with our entire being, we begin to love what He loves - the people He died for. Are we willing to pay the price to be channels of His love?
