Seeing Through Temptation’s Deception (Matthew 4:1–11)

On the First Sunday in Lent, Preacher Allan Ng launched our From Blindness to Sight journey, exposing how temptation distorts vision through partial truths and misdirected desires. Yet Christ, our faithful Champion, sees clearly and wins for us. Through His Word and gifts, He restores our sight. Fix your eyes on Jesus and walk in His light.

  • Victory or Defeat? What Do You See? (Matthew 27:11–26, 27–44, 45–54)

    29:22|
    On Palm Sunday, Rev Dr William Chang showed how the cross reveals contrasting responses—compromise, cynicism, and awakening sight. What seems like defeat is God’s victory, as creation testifies and the centurion sees clearly. Jesus reigns not by coming down, but by staying on the cross. As we stand before the cross, may God open our eyes to see in Christ’s suffering the victory of His redeeming love.
  • Seeing Resurrection in Death’s Shadow (John 11:1–45)

    19:05|
    On the Fifth Sunday in Lent, Preacher Allan Ng showed how despair narrows our vision, making God seem absent and late. Yet Jesus enters our grief, weeps with us, and reveals Himself as the Resurrection and the Life. His Word pierces death’s darkness and calls forth life. Lord, steady us in hope that deepens into trust in the life You alone can give.
  • Whose Eyes Are Really Open: Spiritual Sight for Human Shortcomings (John 9:1–12, 24–28, 35–38)

    25:46|
    On the Fourth Sunday in Lent, Rev Dr William Chang showed that our shortcomings are not barriers but the very canvas on which God displays His work. The man born blind encountered Christ and gained true sight, while those confident in their knowledge remained spiritually blind. God meets us in our weakness and draws us into deeper relationship with Him. Bring your weakness to Christ, and He will open your eyes to see Him more clearly.
  • The Thirsty See Their Thirst; The Satisfied Remain Blind (John 4:5–42)

    26:38|
    On the Third Sunday in Lent, Preacher Allan Ng showed how spiritual blindness hides our deepest thirst. At the well, Jesus meets the unseen and offers the living water of eternal life. Known without rejection, the Samaritan woman sees clearly at last. He alone satisfies the thirsty soul and reveals the living water we truly need.
  • The Boxing of God (John 3:1–15)

    31:53|
    On the Second Sunday in Lent, Rev Dr William Chang showed how spiritual myopia leads us to box God within our limited understanding. Like Nicodemus, we struggle to see beyond human logic. Yet Christ calls us to trust in Him before we fully understand. In faith, unbox God and let Him lead you into the larger life He is weaving.
  • Ancient Greetings, Eternal Truth (Proverbs 10:22)

    26:00|
    On the Transfiguration of Our Lord, Sister Shirley Cheng reminded us that our ancient greetings carry eternal truth in Christ. Every blessing flows from the Cross, the source of true prosperity and peace. Rooted in Immanuel—God with us—we are sustained, renewed, and secured in Him. Live this new year anchored in His presence and grace.
  • Kingdom Unity (Psalm 133; John 17)

    27:54|
    This week, Preacher Allan Ng reminded us that Kingdom unity is Christ’s gift, rooted in the oneness of the Father and the Son. Flowing from the Head to the Body, unity is sustained by grace, truth, and love. This unity bears witness to the world and becomes the soil where God commands blessing. Let us live united in Christ, so that the world may know Him.
  • Kingdom Living (Matthew 5:1–12)

    37:24|
    This week, Rev Dr William Chang reminded us that Kingdom living is God’s rule in our hearts, not a visible realm. Shaped by the Beatitudes, it flows from humble dependence, Christ‑like posture, and gracious practice. Though bittersweet and costly, Kingdom living brings heaven’s presence into today’s broken world. Live faithfully today, trusting God as you keep eternity in view.
