Sermon

Lead pastor on Matthew 21:21. Faith that moves mountains is not intellectual assent — it is the trust of the heart. The thinking that questions and doubts is good for us, but it is the trusting heart that gives faith its life.

Rev. Ngeo Boon Lin on Luke 17:11-19 — the ten lepers, one of whom returned to give thanks. To begin the year with gratitude is to begin life with gratitude. Of those who receive grace, only one in ten returns to thank — but that one is the one who lives transformed.

Jason Ho on Mark 1:1 — ‘the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ.’ To imitate Jesus is to begin as he did — in the wilderness, baptised by John, called Beloved by the Father, sent into the world.

New Year’s Eve 2017. Lead pastor on 1 Peter 2:2-7 — Christ the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious to God. Built up on him, we too are living stones, a spiritual house, offering spiritual sacrifices.

Lead pastor speaks BMCC’s Christmas message on RTHK’s ‘We Are Family’ (自己人) programme, broadcast in the early hours of 25 December 2018.

Christmas Eve 2017. Lead pastor on Luke 1:79 — ‘to guide our feet into the way of peace.’ Christmas is a homecoming: the Light has come into our darkness, calling us back to belonging in God. Wherever we have wandered, the road home is open.

A combined service from December 2017: Lead pastor’s sermon on Luke 1:79 (‘Christmas Coming Home’), followed by the ordination of Jason Ho as BMCC’s missionary, and Jason Ho’s own sharing on his journey into BMCC ministry.

Rev. Tobias Brandner on Philippians 2:1-13 — the Incarnation of Christ as the pattern of the believer’s rebirth. The kenotic Christ who ’emptied himself’ invites us into the same humility, the same self-giving life. Christmas is not only a birthday, but a calling.

Pastor Salom Bok on Matthew 25:31-46. God’s love is poured out especially toward the least among us. The judgment of nations turns on how we treated the hungry, the stranger, the imprisoned. To love the ‘little ones’ is to find Christ already there.

Lead pastor on Acts 1:8. The Spirit who empowers us to witness also forms us through the witnessing. As LGBTQ+ Christians speak truthfully about faith and identity, the act of giving witness becomes a source of healing and growth — to ourselves no less than to those we tell.
