The Feast of Unleavened Bread of Exodus 12 has a direct application to our lives as Christians in today’s society.

Knowing God Through Suffering

May 15, 2022 19:00 - 46 minutes - 86 MB

God’s purpose for suffering is ultimately to reveal Himself more to those who are suffering and are in pain.

In this week's message, Pastor Sonny explains this from the plagues of Egypt and the experience of Job.

Good Friday was God's greatest tragedy, but it was also His greatest triumph — and it was ours too because of His great love for us.

Preview of the Plagues

April 03, 2022 19:00 - 48 minutes - 89.1 MB

We should have no fear when it comes to serving God in whatever ministry He calls us to. Ministry is not easy, but that shouldn’t discourage us from getting involved. God has clothed us with power through His Holy Spirit. In today’s message, Pastor Sonny talks about how God encouraged Moses to obey His command to speak to Pharaoh.

Family Matters, Part 3

March 27, 2022 19:00 - 55 minutes - 104 MB

Over the past two weeks, we have been examining the genealogy of Aaron found in Exodus 6, looking at the distinguished members of the Levite family tree, including Gershon, Kohath, Merari, and Phineas. In this week's sermon, Pastor Sonny now looks at some of the “black sheep” of Aaron’s family.

Family Matters, Part 2

March 20, 2022 19:00 - 39 minutes - 73.3 MB

This week we continue our discussion of the genealogy of Aaron in Exodus 6. In the first part of this mini-series, Pastor Sonny explained how this family tree was placed here for a purpose: to show the importance of fathers in God’s plan and demonstrate that Aaron is a legitimate co-leader with Moses. We can also learn some practical lessons from Aaron’s descendants. In today’s message, Pastor Sonny talks about what we can see from the life of Aaron’s grandson, Phinehas.

Family Matters, Part 1

March 13, 2022 19:00 - 42 minutes - 79.6 MB

Toward the end of Exodus 6, the story of Moses and the Israelites takes a brief detour to discuss the genealogy of Aaron. While this may seem out of place at first glance, as with everything in the Word of God, there's a purpose for it being here. We hope you can join us today as Pastor Sonny unpacks this in our continuing study of the Book of Exodus.

The Relentless God, Part 2

March 06, 2022 20:00 - 56 minutes - 105 MB

This week we conclude our two-part mini-series on the relentless God. Our text in Exodus 6 shows us that God is the God of covenant keeping. Even though at this point in the story God has already been rejected and doubted by His own people twice, nothing is going to stop Him from fulfilling the covenant that He made with their ancestors.

The Relentless God, Part 1

February 27, 2022 20:00 - 45 minutes - 84.4 MB

God’s consistency and relentlessness when it comes to His promised salvation is mind-boggling, but it's also necessary for God to keep His Word because of who He is and how He loves us.

The Promise of Possession

February 20, 2022 20:00 - 55 minutes - 102 MB

Over the past few messages, we've been hearing about God's adoption of us in the context God's "I will" statements in Exodus 6. The first five statements spoke of the freedom that comes with God’s salvation, how that freedom came about through redemption, and how Israel was adopted as God's children. This week, Pastor Sonny concludes with God's last two "I will" statements in Exodus 6, which talk about the final aspect of salvation: a promised possession.

Adopted To Be Saved, Part 2

February 13, 2022 20:00 - 56 minutes - 105 MB

Last week, Pastor Sonny explained how adoption is an aspect of God’s salvation that rarely gets talked about in churches. However, it's important to understand what being adopted by God means as it gives us a clearer picture of justification, sanctification, and what it means to call ourselves Christians or sons and daughters of God. So the question remains, what does it really mean to be called a “son of God”? Pastor Sonny unpacks this in our continuing study of the Book of Exodus.

Adopted To Be Saved, Part 1

February 06, 2022 20:00 - 40 minutes - 74.6 MB

Adoption is one of the aspects of God’s salvation that doesn't get talked about much in the pulpit or even in regular bible studies and small group sessions. As we return to our study of the Book of Exodus, Pastor Sonny discusses how God's promises show us that the cost of redemption was not only for our freedom, but also for our adoption, and why it's important to understand what this really means for us.

Cultivating Young Faith That Lasts

January 30, 2022 20:00 - 25 minutes - 47.1 MB

This week, our Youth Coordinator, Sis. Paula Tung, shares an update on our Youth Ministry with a message on helping our young people grow in their faith.

The Christian Atheist

January 23, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 117 MB

As Christians, we all should be continuously growing to become more and more like Christ, but that's not just a growth in faith, but a growth in works and action. In this week's sermon, Pastor Sonny unpacks this from scripture and introduces the new book that we will be disussing during this year's Wednesday Prayer Fellowships.

Serve Like Martha, Rest Like Mary

January 16, 2022 20:00 - 51 minutes - 94.7 MB

The Bible teaches us that there is a kind of busyness that is “necessary” and if we can only see the value of choosing this necessity, the rest of our lives will fall into place. In this week's sermon, Pastor Sonny explains this from the story of Mary and Martha.

Fear and Faith

January 09, 2022 20:00 - 45 minutes - 84 MB

Fear, by itself, is not bad — it was created by God to keep us free and protect us from harm. Like everything else created by God, however, it's been corrupted by sin. How do we realign our fears and get them back under God's control? Pastor Sonny discusses this from the life of the Apostle Peter.

Rest in 2022

December 26, 2021 20:00 - 45 minutes - 84.2 MB

God designed human beings with the need to rest in order to function properly. Without rest, human beings tend to get “burned out” both physically, emotionally, mentally and even spiritually. The question is, what does it mean for us to rest? Pastor Sonny shares the answer to that question in biblical terms, so that we can trust in what God has in store for us in the coming year of 2022.

When Disappointments Lead to Doubt, Part 2

November 28, 2021 20:00 - 45 minutes - 84.3 MB

What does the transaction of redemption look like for that? Who is the one who receives payment? Who is the one who pays? Who is the one paid for? And what was the cost of the payment? In today's message, Pastor Sonny explores the answers to these questions in our continuing study of the Book of Exodus.

The Holy Spirit in Us

November 21, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 130 MB

Bro. Alvin Del Rosario shares what it means to have the Holy Spirit in us.

When Disappointments Lead to Doubt, Part 1

November 14, 2021 20:00 - 44 minutes - 81.5 MB

It’s one thing for us to feel sadness or to feel upset because of disappointment, but it’s another thing for us to say to God, "You’ve sinned against me because you didn’t do what you said you would do." That’s what it means to doubt God. Pastor Sonny explores this in our continuing study of the Book of Exodus.

Expectations and Disappointments

November 07, 2021 20:00 - 47 minutes - 87.5 MB

Biblical hope has God as its source, while worldly hope is ultimately based on chance. Since God is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow, does not know how to fail, and has proven Himself from the beginning of time, then a biblical hope is certain and sure. How we hope, as human beings, is based on our faith on the source of hope. If we are fully convinced in the source then that’s where our hope is.

Extreme God, Part 2

October 31, 2021 19:00 - 50 minutes - 93.7 MB

The book of Exodus shows us just what kind of Father God is. He is not like our own human fathers. God loves to the extreme and will go to the extreme in order to care for and protect His children. We hope you can join us again today as Pastor Sonny continues our study of the Exodus.

Extreme God, Part 1

October 24, 2021 19:00 - 46 minutes - 86.9 MB

We must be disciples of Christ before we can do the work of Christ. Ministry is the work that comes with being a disciple of Jesus, but when it comes to ministry, our families must still come first, and the home is our training ground for ministry in the church.

Warrior or Wanderer?

October 17, 2021 19:00 - 57 minutes - 107 MB

As believers, we need to do more than window-shop with God's promises. We need to appropriate those promises and claim them in our lives.
