In Luke 19:28–40, people welcomed Him as King with palm branches and open hearts. But what about us today? Will we receive Him in our own lives—with praise, surrender, and trust?

Why Covenant Partners? 48:55

för 11 dagar sedan48:55

48:55

Covenant partnership is GCC's way of emphasizing meaningful membership and we do this for 3 reasons - for the sake of our individual souls, for the sake of the souls of other covenant partners, and for the sake of our neighbours' souls. By being members of a church that exists locally, we get to encourage one another, stir each other up, and make much of one another in honouring each other. In short, we are able to train ourselves in humility and submission.…

In the second installment of our “Essentially, GCC” sermon mini-series, we looked at the role of Elders in GCC.Elders shepherd the flock — by providing guidance and teaching, praying for covenant partners, overseeing the ministry of the church, and modelling repentance, forgiveness & reconciliation.We as a church ought to respond in a posture of humility to God’s design for eldership, taking after Jesus’s own humility.…

Why Deacons? 39:28

för 25 dagar sedan39:28

39:28

Last Sunday, Yi Khen, one of our elders, preached the first sermon in our new series Essentially, GCC—a reminder of who we are as a church and what makes us different.Acts 6:1-7 shows us why deacons matter. The early church was growing, but with growth came challenges. Instead of ignoring the needs, the apostles appointed deacons—godly, wise, and mature servants—to ensure the church remained united and the gospel remained central.Service is hard. It requires humility, not for the sake of recognition, but because Jesus Himself knelt first. He redefined what it means to serve, giving His very life for us. As GCC prepares to send out two church-planting teams, we’re reminded that we must first put our own house in order. A church that is divided or distracted will struggle to be a light to the world.May we be a church that serves with joy, unity, and Christlike humility—because He first served us.…

Gospel Mission 51:58

What is our mission in life? Last Sunday, we wrapped up our Romans series by diving into Paul’s final remark, reflecting on the Gospel Mission. Paul’s life purpose to preach Christ, reaching the unreached, and partnering with fellow believers in his ministry, regardless of gender, race, and social status. Our mission is the same – to make disciples of all nations, to pray and partner with fellow believers who are out in the mission field. As Christians, the gospel is the reason we praise God as we rejoice in the salvation we have received from Him and for the hope we have in Christ. Let’s stay focused on the gospel in our purpose, partnerships, and praise!…

Gospel Love In Practice 40:41

We welcomed Rowan to speak at GCC for the first time, opening up Romans 14–15 with us. The key takeaway: our relationships in church ought to be loving & shaped by the Gospel that unites us. As Paul points out in this passage to the Romans, this means that, when addressing conflicts on disputable matters in church, we shouldn’t condemn but welcome, we shouldn’t stumble another but seek the mutual good, and most of all we should be full of Gospel hope in Jesus’s gift of freedom to us and God’s plan for the unity of the church.…

A Living Sacrifice 51:06

för 8 weeks sedan51:06

51:06

This Sunday, Von, one of our elders brought God’s word from Romans 12:1-21, exhorting us that in light of God’s abundant mercies, our only reasonable response is to live as a living sacrifice—fully devoted to God in worship, service, and love.After journeying through Romans 1-11, we’ve seen the depth of God’s grace. Though we were sinners, Christ died for us. We have been justified by faith, freed from the power of sin, and made alive in Christ. Because of His unfailing love and sovereign mercy, we cannot help but offer our entire lives back to Him. This is true worship—a total, logical, spiritual, and transformational offering of ourselves.This life of worship is not lived in isolation—it compels us to serve the church. Each of us has been gifted by God to play a unique role in the body of Christ. With humility, we are called to serve diligently, embracing unity in diversity and using our gifts to strengthen and encourage one another.But worship doesn’t stop there. We are also called to love our neighbors with a love that is sincere and active. This love extends beyond those closest to us—it reaches even our enemies. Just as God showed us mercy while we were still sinners, we are called to overcome evil with good, reflecting the heart of Christ in all circumstances.In light of all God has done, how can we do anything less? Let our hearts be surrendered, our hands be ready to serve, and our love reflect the mercy we have so freely received.…

As a church in the heart of KL, we are passionate about living out our faith in our urban contexts and with the various diverse people we encounter through our work, hobbies, neighbourhoods, and daily errands.So we were blessed indeed by our guest preacher Guna’s encouragement this week to be a ‘City on a Hill’ — seeking the good of this city that we’ve been placed in, while being secure in our identity as children of God & citizens of heaven.…

Who Is Your God? 47:00

för 11 weeks sedan47:00

47:00

Last Sunday, one of our covenant partner, Chris, preached from Isaiah 40:12-31 which shows us this truth - our God is big, incomparable, and knowable. He holds the universe in His hands, yet He knows us by name. He needs no counsel, no instruction. His wisdom is perfect, His justice unshakable, and His power limitless. And yet, how often do we turn to things smaller than Him? Our hearts, as John Calvin said, are “idol factories,” constantly making a big deal out of things that can never satisfy. God has made Himself known to us—not only through His creation but through His Word. He is not distant. He is not silent. He is the God who rules, sustains, and strengthens those who look to Him. So don’t settle for knowing God from a distance. Draw near. Seek Him. Be in awe of His greatness, rest in His power, and find joy in His presence. Our God is bigger than we can imagine - yet He invites us to know Him. If God alone is this great, this powerful, and this near—why would we ever turn to anything else? “What comes to mind when we think about God is the most important thing about us” ( A.W. Tozer)…

What does it mean to proclaim and believe in the name of the Lord? Romans 10 reminds us of the beautiful truth that salvation is not earned by works but is a gift received through faith. When we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, we are saved.…

The God Of Miraculous Mercy 48:50

för 13 weeks sedan48:50

48:50

This morning we dived into Romans 9 in all its deep doctrinal truth about election which shows us how God is a God of miraculous mercy! God is free to act in any way he chooses, and since he is love, he is always guided by his love in all his actions. This is a great comfort to us, and it is no exception in regards to the doctrine of election. Nothing that God ever does is not loving. Election is based on God's sovereign freedom to extend grace to whom he chooses. As hard as that is for us to comprehend sometimes, we must resist the temptation to think we are a better judge than God. Our God does not function based on a merit system. It magnifies his mercy when we accept Jesus through faith, not through any merit of our own. Election excludes boasting and promotes humility, and it should drive us to mission because it is unconditional - not contingent on family lineage, good works or anything but faith in Jesus alone. The takeaway today is this - God glorifies himself through unconditionally electing a people and this should propel us to worship and mission!…

How To Live Boldly 44:07

för 14 weeks sedan44:07

44:07

In the first half of Romans 8, Paul talks about what it means to live by the Spirit. Now, we look at the second half of Romans 8, where the Paul gives us assurance that we can live boldly. We are to: 1. look through the lens of hope and focus on God's future glory as the glory of the future outweighs the present suffering. 2. understand that in God's sovereign plan, He will work everything for the good of those whom He calls His children. 3. be convicted that nothing can separate us from God's steadfast love that gives us confidence to live boldly.…

New Resolutions Old Anxieties 46:24

för 15 weeks sedan46:24

46:24

As we enter a new year, many of us still carry the same old anxieties. In Matthew 6:19-35, God invites us to examine our lives: What treasure are we chasing? Who are we serving? And where is our trust anchored? This morning, Jason, one of our covenant partners, shared insights from this passage. What treasures drive us? Is it money? Comfort? Approval? Earthly treasures only hold power because we give them weight. But Jesus offers something far greater—eternal treasure in Him. To honor others in Christ, to suffer for His name, and to serve Him faithfully—these are treasures that will outlast this world. Who do we serve? Ourselves or God? If God feels distant, it’s time to reset. It’s time to let go of fleeting pursuits and fix our priorities on what truly matters: the eternal hope we have in Christ. And why can we trust Him? Because He knows our needs and cares for us deeply. Anxiety grips us when we pin our hopes on things we can’t control. But true freedom is found in trusting Jesus—the One who suffered for us, rose in victory, and holds all authority. One day, we’ll stand before Him, and none of us will say, “I wish I had sacrificed less for You.” Let’s fix our eyes on Jesus, our greatest treasure, and live not for the fleeting years on this earth but for the eternal joy found in Him. This year, leave behind the anxieties that weigh us down and pursue Him with everything we have. He is worth it all.…

A Message Of Comfort 32:17

för 17 weeks sedan32:17

32:17

What brings you comfort? Could it be your favourite food or someone you love? Or even a place of familiarity? Isaiah 40 brings a message of comfort in the midst of hopelessness, where he talks about God, who has pardoned the sins of His people. God, in the form of flesh, will come to dwell amongst His people and will ultimately bring an end to all troubles brought by sin. The same God whose words are final, reliable and trustworthy. He has never fail and He never will. A God who is almighty and powerful, yet compassionate to His poeple. In a world of ruthless leaders, He befriends outcasts, touches the untouchable, heals the sick, casts out demons, calms the storms, and raises the dead. This Christmas, as we take comfort that Jesus has already come and died for our pardon, we also take the comfort in knowing that He will come again.…
