Sermon

Jason Ho on Mark 5:1-20 — the Gerasene demoniac. Caged by many demons, the man dwells among the tombs, self-harming — defined by society’s stigma and his own. Jesus breaks the stigma, clothes him, sends him home to witness. What ‘demons’ live in our own hearts? Jesus can release us.

Lead pastor on Matthew 28:19-20 — the Great Commission. To be a Christian is not only to receive the faith but to learn to become a disciple, and to train others. BMCC’s 101–301 discipleship courses are a direct response to Jesus’s command to ‘make disciples of all nations.’

Rev. Ngeo Boon Lin on Matthew 18:15-20. Where two or three gather in Jesus’s name, forgive, and reconcile, the Kingdom of Heaven is present. The witness of the church does not rest on its size but on its capacity to love and to be reconciled.

Easter 2018. Jason Ho on Mark 16:1-8. Mark’s resurrection narrative ends abruptly — the women see only the empty tomb, the disciples not yet understanding — and it is precisely this opening that invites every reader to take up the work of bearing the resurrection witness themselves.

BMCC’s 2018 Good Friday service — meditation, hymns, and Communion, remembering Christ who gave himself for the world. Good Friday is the night we must walk through before we reach the resurrection. May we be still before the cross, and receive again the Lord’s love and sacrifice.

Palm Sunday. Lead pastor on Mark 11:1-11. The crowd shouts ‘Hosanna’ expecting a militant messiah — Jesus instead chooses humility and the road of suffering. Peace and justice are never to be found in violence.

Jason Ho on Mark 4:35-41 — ‘Who is this?’ Jesus sleeps in the storm; rising at a word he stills the wind and sea. In the storms of our lives, this is who he is — both the companion who shares the boat and the Lord who silences the waves.

Lead pastor on Hebrews 10:33-35. To face the giants of our lives — public reproach, the seizure of our property, persecution — the believer holds fast to confidence in the One whose reward awaits. The secret is not strength, but endurance rooted in trust.

Lau Kim-ling on Genesis 9:8-17 — the Noahide covenant marked by the rainbow. ‘Restorative #MeToo’: in the wound of sexual harassment and power-abuse, restorative justice is not cheap forgiveness but the perpetrator, the survivor, and the community entering together the long process of truth and reconciliation.

Lead pastor on Matthew 26:1-5: ‘Jesus’s New Year.’ While religious leaders plotted his death, Jesus’s ‘new year’ was the road toward the cross. How do we view our own life-thresholds and turning points? Real new life often begins from letting go and taking up the burden.
