At the Last Supper, Jesus told His disciples He wouldn’t drink of the vine until they did so together in the Kingdom of God. Yet, at Gethsemane, He fervently prayed to avoid another destined cup. Was Jesus avoiding pain and shame, or was there more? What was in the cup?

Psalm 103, written by King David, is a well-loved psalm of praise and thanksgiving, recounting and declaring the goodness and mercies of God. Embedded within this psalm is a contrast that seeks not to confuse, but bring clarity so that we find purpose and meaning to our daily lives. The outcome of this is the key to meeting God, face-to-face.

Do you know what the problem is for most of us? Respectability. Especially in our Asian culture, we care too much about what people think of us. If we don't break through the barrier of respectability, we're going to miss some of the most amazing encounters and miracles in our lives. Just read your Bibles. The ones who were most willing to lose their respectability were the ones most likelyto receive their miracle!

The Church has primarily focused on the Gospel's core elements: the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, and rightfully so. However, there's another crucial dimension often overlooked - the higher realm Christ died for us to enter. Without grasping this elevated dimension of living, our spiritual walk and warfare will lack effectiveness.

Judges 2 is a sobering chapter in Israel’s history where the baton was passed from one generation to another after the death of their leader, Joshua. Sadly, they failed to uphold his legacy, resulting in a generation that did not know the Lord nor His works. We’re living in a season of transition and there’s a divine exchange zone in the spirit realm. Christine Caine emphasises the critical importance of not allowing sloppiness, fatigue, or carelessness to disqualify us and cause us to drop the baton of faith.

In this year’s Combined Service message, Ps. Yang reiterates the importance of having an inter-generational perspective and vision. Though each generation has its distinctive characteristic, we’re all interconnected in what is called, ‘The Synergy of Ages’. As David served God’s will in his generation, we must also ensure that each generation accomplishes what God has for it. How do we steward a multi-generational move of God and serve and honour the other?

Psalm 73 is an honest and heartwarming story of a psalmist’s faith and inner struggles through life’s perplexities. Rev. Edmund Chan takes us on an exegesis of this psalm, where Asaph discovers that only by entering God’s sanctuary can he experience a shift from superficial understanding to a profound revelation of God and His ways.

This is a special weekend where we talk about and honour the caregivers in our midst. The only thing worse than losing someone you love suddenly is losing them slowly. Oftentimes, there are no miracles – just surgery, chemo, or the loss of memory, mobility, speech and even hair. Until the person you once knew doesn’t even look familiar anymore. That’s why the Church is essential in such a circumstance. If you’re a caregiver, here are two words – JESUS REMEMBERS!

This is my 34th year in full-time ministry and I can’t think of anything else I want to do for the rest of my life. I love 100% what I’m doing and I’d not exchange it for anything in the world! But I think the role of a senior pastor is probably one of the most intense and difficult jobs there is on the planet. So how in 34 years of ministry have I kept a semblance of sanity? That’s the question I want to ask and seek to answer.

I don't ever want to be guilty of feeding you with sugar water, nor have a church full of people with rotting and decaying teeth. The Pentecostal Church today is guilty of fostering a culture of spiritual babies who crave sugary words of destiny while their teeth are rotting. Prophetic conferences are packed with children who are malnourished because they've never been taught the strong Word of the Lord. They like to laugh, shake, fall, but they do not tremble at the Word. May we always be true to the Word of God!

When Jesus fed the multitudes with 5 loaves and 2 fish, He taught us simple and powerful truths how, we too, can be conduits of God’s miracle of provision to others. Listen to this power-packed teaching by Dr. Gayle Claxton on ‘Jesus Feeding the 5,000’.

There’s a law in Scripture called the ‘Law of Unintended Consequences’. Wisdom warns there comes a point in time that if we keep ignoring her, it becomes too late to avoid the consequences. And we’re not talking about salvation, because it’s never too late to be saved. But when the things God’s wisdom intends to protect us from in life such as bankruptcy, sexually-transmitted diseases, mental breakdown, addictions, divorce etc. go unheeded – when we keep rejecting wisdom, there’ll be consequences.

Psalm 124:7-8 says, ‘Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.’ If you’re reading from the NKJV, both verses use two rather archaic words – ‘snare’ and ‘fowler’. But if you’ve a modern translation, you’ll discover the word for ‘snare’ is sometimes translated as net or trap. The fowler is a bird-catcher or a bird hunter. The good news is – both these verses promise that God has undertaken to rescue us from the trap of the bird-catcher.

Many rivers in the world are venerated by different religious groups, but there’s definitely one river in the Bible where life-giving waters will flow. Wherever this river goes, it’ll bring forth life. 2024 is going to be a year where we see the intensity of the river increasing in Cornerstone and we must be ready at an instant to go deeper into it. The Lord is calling us to GO DEEP.

The Lord often used metaphors and parables to illustrate Kingdom truth, and simple pictorial language people could easily understand. Believers are often pictured in Scripture as Trees of Righteousness; Israel was referred to as an Olive Tree; and righteous men were called Cedars. King Solomon, in his wisdom, spoke of cedars of Lebanon and the hyssop, a plant that grows out from the walls of buildings. All this to say that some are like cedars and others like the hyssop. So what can we learn from this fascinating subject on trees?

The Blood of Jesus speaks for us and pleads our case before the Righteous Judge in the Courts of Heaven. He has also given us the legal right to speak for those whom we love and stand on their behalf in overcoming limitations, sin and even barrenness. 

We are living in a time of accelerated harvest, but the quality of the seed affects the harvest. Mikel French shares in this revelatory teaching on the power of the seed that God has given us to bless the nations and release healing to the world.

There are three words we want to explore this weekend – PLANS, PURPOSE, and in between that is something called PROCESS. If I could summarise what these three verses are saying, they simply mean: you can plan all you like, but God has the FINAL SAY! It also means that if your plans interfere with God’s purposes for your life, He reserves the right to overrule and scuttle them. So whatever plans we make, just be sure they’re in alignment with His, otherwise they’ll amount to nothing.

The story of Jesus turning water into wine is both miraculous and prophetic. It defied science, logic, and reasoning, and is packed with revelatory insights. It’s a story of hope, which began with a problem but ended with a miracle, where the ordinary was transformed into something extraordinary at Jesus’ touch. It contains timeless truths waiting to be discovered because it’s a story about you.

When the storms of life come, we may respond like the Psalmist in Psalm 44 who asked, “Where Are You, God?!” In our pain and confusion, we may even throw accusations against Him. But how does God respond to us in these instances? Find out as Rev. Edmund Chan shares in this honest-to-God, heart-of-the-matter message.
