As they waited, they asked a question that showed they didn’t really understand what the Kingdom of God was to be like.

Jesus gently corrects them, and in turn us, about just where the Kingdom is, what people will be in that kingdom, and when it will come.

Listen to this sermon on Acts 1:1-11 preached 9am 24th January 2010 at Sylvania Anglican Church.

It was clear that Pontius Pilate was convinced of the innocence of Jesus, and yet he willingly sent him to be crucified.

I spoke on Matthew 2:1-12 and invited the congregation to consider the two reactions to the birth of Jesus. Some followed the star to him and worshipped him (i.e. the star gazers) but others followed the star to try and kill him (i.e. Herod).

Near the end of the talk you’ll hear a badly-distorted recording of an original song I performed. Please adjust your headphones accordingly!

Please let me know if you have any technical difficulties with this, as it’s my first attempt at a podcast!

This oft-repeated quote from St Francis of Assisi is often bandied around as a reminder that our actions speak louder than words. Yet, this motivation to live good lives can easily turn into an excuse not to speak at all.

It was my first ever translated sermon! I spoke one phrase in English, and my interpreter translated it into Cantonese.

It made me understand many things about the body of Christ. It showed me that language and culture may make fellowship difficult at times, but it doesn’t change our unity in Christ. I saw this clearly as we celebrated the Lord’s Supper together. This enacted word brought our diverse backgrounds together in a profound way, having already heard the Lord speak to us through his word.

It was wonderful to enjoy the fellowship and love of doing on earth what we are already doing as gathered disciples in heaven. Thanks to my brothers and sisters at HCBC… see you again soon!
