Welcome to Our Sermon Archive

Greetings!

We thank the Lord for allowing you to visit our page. By God’s mercy and grace, we are joyfully sharing here the sermons that have been preached in our church.

The Lord has used these sermons to sanctify us as a church family, and we pray they would bless you as well — pointing you to Christ, drawing you into Scripture, and stirring your heart toward prayer to our gracious, loving, and merciful King.  

At the same time, we lovingly remind you that watching sermon videos is no substitute for worshiping God personally or belonging to a local church where you are in covenant fellowship.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” — Romans 15:13

Sermon 15 | July 13, 2025

James 1:19-20 | Believers are quick to hear, Slow to speak and Slow to anger 

In a time of pressure, persecution, and rising frustration, James gives a counter-cultural command to every believer: be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. This is not just wisdom for better communication—it is the fruit of a life that belongs to Christ. God’s righteousness is not achieved by the anger of man, but by lives humbly ruled by His Word. In this passage, we are reminded that true hearing is obedience, that our words must reflect the grace of the gospel, and that our emotions must be submitted to the truth of Scripture. The Christian life is not marked by impulse, but by intentionality—by a slowness that reflects maturity and love.

Sermon 14 | July 06, 2025

James 1:16-18 | Where Good Truly Comes From (Pt 2)

God is the source of every good and perfect gift. In a world filled with darkness and deception, James 1:16–18 directs our eyes to the Father of lights—unchanging, generous, and full of grace. He never tempts us, but instead gives life through the Word of truth. Whatever is truly good flows from Him, and in Christ, we see the ultimate expression of His goodness: the salvation of those who truly belong to Him. He brought us forth by His will so that our transformed lives would declare His goodness and anticipate the consummation of the fullness of our redemption—when we behold the final good: to be in the glorious presence of our Father.

Sermon 13 | June 29, 2025

James 1:16-18 | Where Good Truly Comes From

Evil is not from God—and where it comes from, and why He allows it, remains a mystery we leave to His sovereign wisdom. As creatures, we are not owed full explanations by our Creator. Yet God, in His goodness, has revealed what we most need to know: every good and perfect gift is from above. He is the Father of lights, in whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. In James 1:16–18, we see a God who never tempts us with evil, but who brings life by His own will through the Word of truth. We may not understand everything, but we can be certain of this—God is not the source of sin, but of salvation. And in Christ, He has given us the greatest gift of all.

Sermon 12 | June 22, 2025

James 1:13-15 | Where Temptations Truly Come From (Pt 2)

Temptation doesn’t come from God. It comes from within—our own desires, our own lusts. James 1:13–15 reveals that God, in His holiness, cannot tempt nor be tempted by evil. But every person is drawn away by what already lives in the heart. When these desires are not resisted, they give birth to sin—and sin, when fully grown, leads to death. Yet this warning is grace: for those in Christ, God shines light on the source of sin, so that we might flee to Him. True perseverance means learning to stop blaming God and start fighting sin—with the Word, by the Spirit, for His glory

Sermon 11 | June 15, 2025

James 1:13-15 | Where Temptations Truly Come From (Pt 1)

James 1:13–15 calls us to a right view of God and ourselves. God is never the source of temptation—for He is holy and cannot be enticed by evil. Instead, temptation arises from our own desires. When left unchecked, these desires lead to sin, and sin leads to death. The danger is not just external but internal, and the path from desire to death is subtle and progressive. But for those in Christ, the warning is also a mercy. We are not left to ourselves—God exposes the root of sin to call us into holiness. True perseverance includes discerning the origin of temptation and fleeing from it through the power of the Spirit.

Sermon 10 | June 08, 2025

James 1:12 | Live a Life approved by The Lord 

James 1:12 is a fitting summary of verses 1 to 11. It reminds us that to be blessed is not to be lucky or materially favored, but to be in Christ—chosen, saved, and preserved by God. The blessed one perseveres under trial, not by strength, but because they are held fast by the Lord. Approval is not earned—it is the fruit of salvation and ongoing sanctification. The crown of life is not for those who finish strong in the world’s eyes, but for those who remain faithful under pressure. It is promised to those who love Him—a love formed and sustained by God. True blessing is spiritual, not circumstantial.

Sermon 09 | June 01, 2025

James 1:9-11 | Boast in Our Humiliation (Part 2)

James 1:9–11 confronts us with the radical call to boast not in wealth or status, but in what Christ has done. The lowly boast in their exaltation; the rich, in their humiliation. Both are reminders that true identity is found in Christ—not in what fades. Like grass and flowers under the scorching sun, worldly pursuits wither. But the word of the Lord stands forever. In every season, James exhorts us to live by a heavenly economy—where Christ is our treasure, and eternity our goal. Every believer is called to resist the daily pull of worldly boasting and to rest instead in the unshakable joy of belonging to Christ.

Sermon 08 | May 25, 2025

James 1:9-11 | Boast in Our Humiliation (Part 1)

James teaches that true wisdom does not boast in knowledge or wealth, but in Christ alone. The humble believer, though low in the world’s eyes, is exalted in Christ—and should boast in that secure position. This biblical boasting is not self-glorifying, but Christ-exalting. In contrast, the rich are to boast in their humiliation, recognizing the fragility of worldly status and the futility of earthly pursuits. Trials test whether we will anchor our joy in the eternal or in what fades. James calls us to boast in what cannot be shaken: our union with Christ and our citizenship in heaven.

Sermon 07 | May 18, 2025

James 1:5-8 | If Any of You Lacks Wisdom: Let Him Ask of God (Part 2)

Though many claim to believe in God, few truly ask in faith. This sermon unpacks what it means to seek wisdom not by wishful thinking or personal effort, but by trusting fully in God's sovereign will. The faith that asks rightly is the faith that obeys, submits, and delights in God's purposes. Doubt, on the other hand, reveals a divided heart—one unstable and driven by worldly winds. James urges the believer to anchor their prayers in the unchanging character of God, rejecting self-centered expectations and resting instead in the sufficiency of Christ. For only those rooted in God’s truth will bear the fruit of stability amidst the storms.

Sermon 06 | May 11, 2025

James 1:5-8 | If Any of You Lacks Wisdom: Let Him Ask of God (Part 1)

James exhorts believers to ask God for wisdom—not the wisdom of this world, but godly wisdom that sees trials as purposeful and refining. This wisdom leads to holiness, obedience, and Christlike living. It is given sincerely and without reproach to those who ask in faith. But the one who doubts, who is divided in loyalty between the world and God, is unstable and should expect nothing. James reminds us that true wisdom is not merely knowledge, but a life yielded to the truth of Scripture. Believers are called to reject worldly reasoning and live with a faith that trusts in the character of God.

Sermon 05 | May 4, 2025

James 1:2-4 | Consider it All Joy (Part 4)

Even when trials feel unbearable, God calls believers to consider them joy—not because of the pain, but because of the purpose. Perseverance is not automatic, but cultivated through faithful submission to God's Word in the midst of hardship. This passage reminds us that Christian maturity is not measured by how many trials we face, but by how we reflect Christ through them. We are exhorted to pursue spiritual perfection, not as something we can attain fully in this life, but as a holy calling to grow in Christlikeness through every test.  

Sermon 04 | April 27 , 2025

James 1:2-4 | Consider it All Joy (Part 3)

James exhorts believers to ask God for wisdom—not the wisdom of this world, but godly wisdom that sees trials as purposeful and refining. This wisdom leads to holiness, obedience, and Christlike living. It is given sincerely and without reproach to those who ask in faith. But the one who doubts, who is divided in loyalty between the world and God, is unstable and should expect nothing. James reminds us that true wisdom is not merely knowledge, but a life yielded to the truth of Scripture. Believers are called to reject worldly reasoning and live with a faith that trusts in the character of God.

Sermon 03 | April 20 , 2025

James 1:2-4 | Consider it All Joy (Part 2)

In this Resurrection Sunday sermon, the congregation is reminded that trials are not a question of “if” but “when.” The risen Christ, who conquered sin and death, assures believers that even the most painful and unexpected trials are sovereignly allowed by God for His purposes. James calls Christians to face these various, multilayered trials with joy—not because they are pleasant, but because they are purposeful. These trials—whether poverty, persecution, or inner temptation—are God's means to test, shape, and mature the believer for greater glory to Christ. True comfort is found not in escaping hardship but in surrendering to God's sovereignty and trusting in His promises. The resurrection is proof that we will endure and that our perseverance is never in vain. Watch the Sermon Here

Sermon 02 | April 13 , 2025

James 1:2-4 | Consider it All Joy (Part 1)

In the opening exhortation of James, believers are commanded to consider all trials as joy—not because trials are pleasant, but because God sovereignly ordains them for His purposes. This joy is not momentary happiness, but a deep, unshakeable assurance rooted in Christ. The sermon laid the foundation for understanding biblical joy, distinguishing it from worldly happiness, and reminding the church that perseverance is cultivated through tested faith. To rejoice in trials is not natural—it is spiritual. And only those who belong to Christ can respond this way, because their hope is grounded in the eternal promises of God. Every believer must learn to know, live, and proclaim this truth, for only then will our faith be complete and not lacking. Watch the Sermon Here

Sermon 01 | April 6 , 2025

James 1:1 | Introduction to the Book of James 

James opens his letter not with entitlement as the brother of Jesus but with humility—as a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. The sermon reminds us that true authority in the Christian life flows not from status or association, but from surrender. Addressed to dispersed Jewish Christians undergoing trials, this introduction challenges us to examine whether we live out our faith not merely as hearers but as doers of the Word. The Book of James confronts our hypocrisies, unmasks our compartmentalized lives, and calls us to wholehearted allegiance to Christ our Master. To be a Christian, the sermon teaches, is to live as one who has seen the Risen Christ and been transformed by His righteousness. Watch the Sermon Here
