Sermon

Rev. Selina on Isaiah 30:15 — the prayer of rest, also known as silent prayer. Two steps: connect with God (sit upright, breathe deeply); connect with yourself (palms up, relax the body). Practise Maranatha (‘Come, Lord!’) with the rhythm of breath. Three S’s of the practice: Silence, Stillness, Simplicity. There is nothing else but Christ praying in us.

Lead pastor’s third sermon in the Lord’s Prayer series, on Matthew 6:9-13. Prayer is first becoming still and entering one’s interior — that life may have ‘more Jesus’ in it. BMCC and GSKL Malaysia practise the 3 p.m. daily Lord’s Prayer.

Lead pastor’s second sermon in the Lord’s Prayer series, on Matthew 6:9-13. The Lord’s Prayer carries deep meaning: structurally three desires and three petitions. Jesus invites us to pray in intimate, natural language — drawing close to the Father.

Jason Ho’s sermon on Isaiah 55:1-2 and Mark 8:4: ‘The Desert’s Banquet.’ First-century Christians went out to the desert for transformation. The aim of spiritual practice is to connect with God here and now — to be fully alive, not awaiting some afterlife.

Eric Sin’s sermon on Genesis 2:4b-17: ‘Let the Forbidden Fruit Be History.’ The forbidden fruit is not literal — it is ‘the knowledge of good and evil.’ Traditional exegesis has yoked the fruit to sexuality, perpetuating a millennia-long misreading. Let that history end.

First in the Lord’s Prayer series. Lead pastor on Matthew 6:9-13 — the background, structure (three desires + three petitions), and Jesus’s invitation to pray in intimate, natural language. Drawing close to the Father through the prayer he taught his disciples.

Lead pastor on Luke 1:76-80 — John the Baptist prepares the way of the Lord in the wilderness, waiting, repenting, turning. The meaning of the New Year is not celebration but reorienting life to receive God’s presence and guidance once more.

Author: Dino Wong. Sermon by Jason Ho on Isaiah 55:1-2 and Mark 8:4. Drawing near to God through spiritual discipline. The Desert Fathers withdrew not for escape but for transformation. The bread Christ offers is not food but the connection that makes us alive — here, now, not in some afterlife. We too should engage in deliberate, planned spiritual practice.

Lead pastor on Matthew 6:9-13 — what the Lord’s Prayer means for us. Devotional life begins with becoming still and entering one’s inner self. BMCC and GSKL Malaysia together have chosen Scripture and spiritual discipline as the year’s theme. The ‘Three O’Clock Lord’s Prayer’ practice sets us apart from the world in that moment, opening daily space for Jesus to enter our lives.
