Sermon

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.

Eric Sin on 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8, where Paul compares his pastoral care to a nursing mother gently caring for her children. To pastor is to nurture — patient, tender, present. It is not easy work; but it is the shape of Christ-like love among us.

Jason Ho on Mark 10:14-16 — ‘let the little children come to me.’ A queer reading: the Kingdom belongs to those society marginalises and dismisses. Children, queer folk, the displaced — Jesus draws them close. To enter the Kingdom is to receive it like one of these.

Lead pastor on Galatians 3:28 — ‘no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female.’ In Christ, every social binary that divides us is undone. The unity of the body of Christ is not the erasure of difference but its reconciliation in love.

Lead pastor on Galatians 2:15-21. Justification by faith — not by works of the law — births a new life and a new people. In Christ the old categories of belonging are crucified; a new community arises whose citizenship is in the Kingdom of God.

Rev. Po Kam-cheong on 1 Corinthians 1:10-31 and Ephesians 4:1-13. The early church wrestled with division and faction; today’s church faces the same. From conflict to communion is not the absence of difference but the discipline of love — bearing one another, walking toward unity together.

Jason Ho on Genesis 1:3 (‘let there be light’) and Matthew 6:22-23 (the eye is the lamp of the body). The light God speaks into the void is the same light that wants to shine in us — and the orientation of our seeing shapes whether we host that light or shut it out.

Lead pastor on Ephesians 4:10-16. Christ ascended and gave gifts to his body — apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers — that we might grow into the full stature of Christ. Every gift, every member, every act of service: it’s all Jesus, building us into himself.

Frankie Ng on Exodus 12:1-14 — the Passover and the prefiguring of Christ. The blood on the doorpost, the unleavened bread, the haste of the meal — all point forward to the Lamb of God. In every memorial, it is Jesus we encounter.

Mr. Wong Tin-sang on John 21:1-14. After the crucifixion the disciples return to fishing — to old patterns, to disappointment. The risen Christ meets them on the shore, calls them to cast again, fills the empty net. Courage to set out anew is born in the encounter with Christ.
