Weekly Sermon
We all know what it feels like to need mercy—but what does it mean to show it? Is mercy just "not giving people what they deserve," or is there more to mercy?
In 3 Modes of Mercy, join Pastor J.B. Lim as he unpacks Matthew 5:7 (“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy”) and reveals how mercy shows up in ways you might not expect. This message will challenge how you speak, give, and forgive—and help you see mercy with fresh eyes.
We all know what it’s like to crave something—but what if your deepest hunger isn’t for comfort, success, or approval? What does it mean to hunger and thirst for righteousness?
In Starving to Treat You Right, join Pastor J.B. Lim as he unpacks Jesus’ fourth beatitude. This message will help you to see the idea of righteousness with fresh eyes and to hunger for it with a new longing.
In “Licence to Mourn”, Pastor J.B. unpacks Matthew 5:4 from Jesus’ Beatitudes. Learn why "Blessed are those who mourn" isn't about universal comfort for everyone who's ever been sad, but it’s about something deeper. Discover the specific types of mourning Jesus is talking about, why following Jesus sometimes means experiencing sadness you didn't have before, and how to find comfort in the midst of every kind of pain. If you've been denying your pain or drowning it in distraction, lean in. What if mourning is something you're actually allowed—even meant—to do?
Our culture rewards big swings, big voices, and big outcomes. Jesus points to something completely different. Join Thrive Preaching School Student Timson Hui for Survival of the Meekest as we explore Jesus’ promise that the meek will inherit the earth. This isn’t about being passive or getting walked over. It’s about a kind of strength that doesn’t need to panic, retaliate, or perform. What if self-control is strength? And what could change if you stopped swinging so hard?
Join Pastor J.B. as we step into the surprising opening of the Beatitudes—“Blessed are the poor in spirit” (Matthew 5:3). In a world that celebrates self-sufficiency, Jesus points to a different path—one that begins with desperation, dependence, and an unexpected kind of blessing. Through vivid imagery from Isaiah 6 and a disarming personal story, this message invites you to reconsider the way to be "blessed". Could your need be the very place where God meets you?
