Most of us are quite comfortable to be with people who are alike but we are not so comfortable with people who are quite different. This uneasiness hinders relational unity wherever we are, including our families and our churches.



Ps Too will conclude the “Grace Unchained” sermon series with the sermon, “Unity in Freedom” (Galatians 2:1-10). We will learn how gospel freedom results in uncanny unity in human relationships.

Many people are not satisfied with how they are and where they are in life. We are on a quest for change. We try things like a makeover, a new wardrobe, or a new career. Somehow these changes don’t seem to go deep enough.

Ps Too addresses the need for change as he continues the “Grace Unchained” sermon series with the sermon, “From Persecutor to Preacher” (Galatians 1:10-24). We will see how God is in the business of changing people outside in and from inside out.

We have been taught from a young age that to gain acceptance in the world, we must do the right things, establish the right connections, and achieve the right outcomes. In short, our future is completely in our hands. This underlying belief is pervasive among Christians and non-Christians alike.



In the 3-part sermon series, “Grace Unchained”, we will delve into the transformational truth of God’s grace that impacts every aspect of our lives. Ps Too brings us the first sermon titled, “No Other Gospel” from Galatians 1:1-9. He reveals to us how the gospel frees us from the demands of everyday life.

We live in a world that celebrates freedom from the expectations of others. Yet this is also a world that heavily imposes its expectations on us. And so we find a “fear of man” lurking in our most unexpected thoughts:



”I don’t want to let others down.” “I don’t want to be a burden to anyone.” “I’m a perfectionist - I don’t want to reveal my flaws!” How do we overcome this fear of man?



Ps Johanan answers this question with the final instalment of the Saul series: “Tears for a Coward” from 1 Samuel 15.

”Whatever works.”



For many of us (especially here in Singapore), these two words represent the way we live. At its best, it encourages a bold decisiveness. At its worst, it leads us away from God as the ultimate authority.



Is there anything wrong with being practical? When does ‘being practical’ go to far? How does such practically keep us from true courage?



Ps Johanan brings “Saul of Singapore?” from 1 Samuel 13.

Christian belief involves taking a leap of faith - but it’s not a blind leap of faith. Such faith is undergirded by reasons and signs.



Yet sometimes we go to the other extreme. We try to remove any leap of faith whatsoever from Christian faith. Here we confuse faith with airtight reasoning and irrefutable signs.



How do we hold that tension? How does Christian belief lead to courage - not recklessness nor an aversion for risk?



Ps Johanan brings ”No Sign of Saul” from 1 Samuel 10.
