Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamRemember to forgetIn this message, Ps Andrew Kulasingham encourages us to forget the past to embrace God’s plan for our future. Exhorting us from the words of the prophet Isaiah, he stresses that the command to forget the former things is the command to forget how miracles occur but remember who the source of those miracles is. The command to forget the former things is to prepare you for the new thing god is about to do.2024-02-2525 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamLet go of your superpowerIn this sermon, Ps Andrew Kulasingham looks at the story of the rich young ruler in Luke’s Gospel. His extreme wealth was his superpower. All of us have something we cling on to as our superpower. It could be our jobs, our relationships, our church. But the emphasis is always on what we do. What we do at work, what we do with our family, what we do in church – seldom is it about who we are – who are we at work? Who are we at home? Who are we when we are in fellowship together? If you didn’t...2024-01-2119 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamEmbrace the messThe Christmas story is a messy one. The Bible doesn’t shy away from the messiness of the Christmas narrative. Life is messy on this side of eternity, and the Christmas story reflects that messiness. In this sermon, Pastor Andrew Kulasingham invites you to see the Divine in the midst of your messy life.2023-12-3124 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamSeeing through the lenses of faithFaith sees beyond the visible into the realities which are in the unseen Divine realm. There is a source of evidence that is separate from what is visible to the naked eye. We know that in the natural seeing is believing. But the Bible speaks of another way of seeing beyond what is visible. Paul called it walking by faith. In this message Ps Andrew Kulasingham encourages us to put on the lenses of faith to see the workings of God in the invisible realm. In that realm, seeing is not believing. Believing is seeing.2023-07-1036 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamFraming our world with the word of GodAfter an earthquake it is critical that we check if the foundations of a building is compromised. If so we strengthen the foundations. We need to do the same when we experience a shaking in life too. In this message, Ps Andrew Kulasingham takes us to Hebrews 11 to check the foundations of our faith and strengthen it. Drawing from the ancient fathers of our faith in the bible, we will see how they framed their worlds – how they thought, spoke and lived their lives – framed by the word of God.2023-06-3032 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamChrist is risen: Don't just believe it, live itThe message of the resurrection is not logical but it is true. We are called to believe in the Easter message. However believing that Jesus is risen is not enough. Ps Andrew Kulasingham brings an Easter message challenging us not just to believe the resurrection story but to live the resurrection life.2023-04-1729 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamFactory ResetHave you ever had one of your electronic devices undergo a factory reset. It’s hard reset where the device is restored back to it’s original settings. The implications of a factory reset is, all information on that device will be wiped out. The first Christmas was actually a factory reset. God had put the entire systems of the world on a hard reset. Everything that was assumed, everything that was believed in, every theological idea about God, every interpretation of the Scriptures went through a hard reset when Jesus Christ came to earth. In this message, Ps Andr...2022-12-2028 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamTake off your blinkersThe apostle John indicts the world of rejecting the Christ when He first appeared. The most severe indictment was reserved for God’s people. “He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.” In this week’s message Ps Andrew Kulasingham looks at the reasons why even the people of God who were awaiting their Messiah missed the Christ when he appeared before them. They wore blinkers. Are the same blinkers blinding us from seeing the Christ in our daily lives?2022-12-0733 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamThe mark of a christianWhat does a christian look like? Can someone recognise a christian if they saw them in the street? In this message Rhena Kulasingham shows us through the life of Jesus in the Gospels how a christian should live their everyday life. There are tell tale signs. There are identifiable markers of a disciple of Jesus Christ.2022-11-2928 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamHineni! Here I amThe most arrogant thing we humans do is to have the audacity to ask the question – where is God when bad things happen? Bad things happen because we do it to each other. Then we ask where is God? When faced with a crisis the question should never be “where is God?” The question should always be “where are you?” In this message Ps Andrew Kulasingham looks at the story of Abraham offering Isaac at Mount Moriah. We see in Genesis 22, three times Abraham says Hineni! and makes himself available and present – to God, to his troubled son and to the super 2022-11-1627 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamSecondhand faithIn every church there are two groups of christians. Those who gather and those who are pursuing God. There are the crowds who gather every Sunday, then there are disciples who are chasing after more of God. In this sermon, Ps Andrew Kulasingham challenges us not to be satisfied with hand-me-down experiences of God. Don’t settle for a second hand faith. Pursue God yourself. Experience your own Divine encounters. Live your own prayer answering, supernatural, miracle filled life with Christ.2022-10-2733 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamGated and shepherdedThe church is a community that is gated and shepherded. It should be a place you feel safe and secure in your journey with God. In this message Ps Andrew Kulasingham shows us how we can build and maintain that safe community as we ensure that Christ only is the gate and Christ only is the shepherd.2022-10-1928 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamDo not neglect your faithHow seriously do we take the words of our Lord Jesus Christ? In Hebrews 2:1-4 the author of Hebrews gives a warning about taking the message of Christ lightly. The danger is that we will drift away. In this message Ps Andrew Kulasingham shows us the importance of taking the message of Christ to heart and invites us to reflect on the condition of our hearts and how we are responding to the Word of God.2022-09-1928 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamBe childlike but don't be childishJesus taught us to be childlike in our relationship with God. The biggest challenge we have in our relationship with God is how to relate to Him as a toddler relates to their father. Most of the time we relate to God as adult children. We are adults. Independent, capable, self sufficient adults. We relate to God as adult children. In this sermon, Ps Andrew Kulasingham unpacks what it means to relate to God with childlike faith. He shows us the difference between childlike faith and childish behaviour. 2022-09-0720 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamThe fine art of balanceAlbert Einstein said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” There are two movements Jesus spoke of that keeps a believer living a balanced life. In this message Ps Andrew Kulasingham talks about the need for us to learn the rhythm of living the spiritual life in order to maintain a balanced life.2022-08-1727 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamA narcissistic generationThroughout Biblical history, God’s people have always shown signs of being self absorbed. Nothing has changed. The church today is equally preoccupied with ourselves and tend to relate to God on our own terms. This “God on my terms” christian life has produced a type of christianity that has a form of godliness without the power of the resurrected Christ. In this week’s sermon, Ps Andrew Kulasingham invites us to move away from a self absorbed version of the gospel into a Christ centred gospel.2022-08-0127 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamGod now walks among usIn two occasions Paul refers to the individual christian and the church as the temple of the living God. Do you realise the significance of that? We carry the presence of God in us. God dwells in us. God walks among us. In this sermon, Ps Andrew Kulasingham challenges us to see ourselves as temples of the living God. What would that look like if we truly believed God was now walking among us?2022-07-2631 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamYour money or your lifeWhat have you been focused on this last week? Have you been preoccupied with temporal things and worldly issues while neglecting the most important thing God has required of you? Is God really concerned about things that concern this world or is he looking for a surrendered life? In today’s sermon Ps Andrew Kulasingham looks at Luke 20:21-26 and the uncomfortable relationship between believers and worldly governments.2022-07-2125 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamThe Most Excellent WayI Corinthians 13 is generally known as an ode to love. In it’s original context however Paul wrote it as part of his letter to the church dealing with multiple issues that were tearing the church up. It was a wake up call to a church so dysfunctional, disunited and disjointed. If ever the modern day church needed this text it is today. With all the issues that are dividing the church we need to revisit this popular text and seek again the counsel of the apostle. He calls the way of love the most excellent way. The way th...2022-06-2824 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamA person-centred Gospel19th century theologian Emil Bruner said “The church exists by mission as a fire exists by burning”. In other words if it’s not burning, it’s not a fire. If we are not saving the lost, we are not the church. In this message, Ps Andrew Kulasingham reminds us of the one and only mandate the church has been given – to seek and save the lost. Using the 3 parables in Luke chapter 15, we are invited to see the world as Christ sees the world – not as sinners but as children of God who are lost.2022-06-1332 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamIs Jesus a king without a kingdom?We speak often of Jesus as Saviour and Lord. Seldom do we hear about Jesus as a king with a kingdom. Yet in both Luke’s New Testament books, his Gospel and the book of Acts, you will find repeatedly the phrase “Kingdom of God”. The message of the Kingdom of God was the first and last thing Jesus preached during his time on earth. In this message Ps Andrew Kulasingham challenges you to consider if Jesus is truly king and if so is He your king?2022-06-0537 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamThe why of your existenceDo you know why of you exist? Do you know why you wake up everyday? What makes you tick? In this message Ps Andrew Kulasingham looks at the man Jesus as told to us by Luke in his Gospel. Jesus who had a job, who had to walk for miles to do what he had to do, had to have money to do go about the call of God in His life. What made the man Jesus tick? We will see that the man Jesus knew the why of his existence even at the age of 12 and lived his...2022-05-2334 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamSeeing is not believing. Experiencing is!Seeing alone is not believing. If we want to live a life by the power of Jesus name, then our seeing must be influenced by our life experiences with God. In this special Easter message, Ps Andrew Kulasingham encourages us to increase in our experiential knowledge of God in order to create new seeing – a seeing Paul refers to as walking by faith and not by sight.2022-04-1727 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamAre you on the right side of the cross?This is a special message for Good Friday. Ps Andrew Kulasingham brings a short reflection based on Isaiah 53 and 54.2022-04-1516 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamPitiful Christian or Powerful BelieverWhat would your last words on earth be? The reality is, what you believe about death is driving the way you live your life daily. How much of your everyday life contributes to your life after death? Do you ask yourself that question? You should. Believing that resurrection is real but living as if this life is the only life we have – that’s pitiful. Will you choose a life with eternity in mind? Will you do, say and live moment by moment of your life, drawing from the power of the resurrected Christ and investing in the life to c...2022-04-0639 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamBlessed to be a blessingDid you know that the seed of the Gospel is the Abrahamic Covenant? The good news of Jesus Christ is not about following a set of rules and regulations. It is about obeying the voice of God and entering into a lifestyle of being blessed and being a blessing. In this final sermon of a 3-part series on the power to bless, Ps Andrew Kulasingham revisits the Abrahamic Covenant and shows us the importance of understanding two foundational concepts every christian must understand - we are called to be blessed and we are called to be a blessing.2022-03-2232 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamThe Power to blessThe Bible tells us that we called to be blessed and we are called to be a blessing. Being blessed is the precursor of becoming a blessing. If we live our lives unaware of or not experiencing the blessings of God, how are we to be a channel of blessing to all the families on the earth? In this sermon, Ps Andrew Kulasingham highlights the importance of blessing God, blessings self in order to become a channel of blessing to others.2022-03-0323 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamBless the Lord for the sake of your soulThe psalmist speaks to his soul and instructs it to bless the Lord. As we reflect on psalm 106, we realise he is instructing us all to bless the Lord for our own sakes. This week, Ps Andrew Kulasingham looks at this concept of blessing God and how it is the only medication for two diseases of the soul – pride and ingratitude.2022-02-1825 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamFuel Up! It's going to be a long journeyThe sole purpose we exist as a church is to be lights. Every christian exists to be a light in the world – to be an avenue for someone to see the Father through us. Without light, there would be no sight. This week, Ps Andrew Kulasingham reminds us that to keep our lamps burning we need to have oil in our lamps. The Challenge is – do we have enough oil in our lamps. He recommends to regular pitfalls that we should make in order to fuel up so we keep burning throughout our journey on earth.2022-01-3124 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamDon't be a bottom feederIn an age where there seems to be versions of truth, Christians are faced with a barrage of ideas and opinions that we are constantly fed through the social media and other sources. Information overload is the main cause of spiritual indigestion. In this sermon, Ps Andrew Kulasingham challenges us to fix our eyes on things above and not be a bottom feeder scavenging on earthly things.2022-01-2324 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamOccupied till Christ returnsWhat will 2022 look like for you? Are you entering the new year with great expectations for a better year ahead of you? If so, what will you do differently to ensure that you experience a better year than you had the year before? Based on the Parable of the Minas in Luke 19, Ps Andrew Kulasingham invites us to consider 3 changes in our lives that will ensure we live a Kingdom life and remain occupied with Kingdom business.2022-01-0828 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamRecognising God and God momentsWe live in a world that is unable to acknowledge, let alone recognise God or God moments. What does it take to recognise God and God moments? In this sermon Ps Andrew Kulasingham invites us to live a life of obedience, prayer and a decluttered life, so we will see God moments as a daily occurrence in our lives.2021-12-2827 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamWhat you see is what you will worshipAre you looking for God in your everyday routines? Or have you assigned God a space and spend the rest of your days, weeks, months and years on so called “doing life”? In this sermon, Ps Andrew Kulasingham invites us to consider what we focus on in our daily lives. If God is not what you are focusing on – you are seeing something else. And what you see is what you will bow down to. What you see is what you worship.2021-12-2124 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamIs your mind a prison or a palace?We are at war. The church is not a cruise ship but a battleship. The church is engaging in a hostile takeover. The Kingdom of the world must “become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever”. But our war is not a physical one but a spiritual one. In this message Andrew Kulasingham speaks about where the real battle is – the battle in our minds. 2021-11-3025 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamBigfoot, the Loch Ness monster and salvation without obedienceDiscipleship is a missing word in the lips of the modern day christian. The focus today is more on making church members than making disciples. Church attendance and religious adherence have become the focus and very little is said about becoming a follower of Christ. The outcome of such a focus is the idea of salvation without the need for obedience. In this week’s message, Andrew Kulasingham refutes the idea that you can receive Jesus as your saviour without acknowledging Him as Lord. Just like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster, the concept of salvation without obedience is a...2021-11-1531 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamThe marks of an ambassador of ChristAre you distracted from your mandate? Do you know what you have been called to do? Do you know who you are and what you have been mandated to do on earth? Andrew Kulasingham brings to us the second of a 3-part series on the Great Commission, which is the mandate for all followers of Christ. In this message, Andrew speaks of the transformational power given to every christian sent out to all nations. Find out what are the marks of an ambassador of Christ. 2021-11-0830 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamSpiritual AmnesiaDo you know that as people of God we can develop a serious spiritual condition that can be fatal to our faith journey? Ps Andrew Kulasingham speaks to us about a condition he calls spiritual amnesia. How easily we forget God. How easily we forget what He has done for us. How easily we forget the prayers He has answered, His miracles. We forget too easily. This sermon is about the dangers of forgetting God and the remedies for overcoming spiritual amnesia.2021-10-0424 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamThe practice of honourIn this sermon, Ps Andrew Kulasingham takes us to the New Testament where Paul speaks about the culture of honour in the context of 3 very important relationships – the relationship between a husband and a wife, the relationship between parents and children and the relationship between employers and employees. In Ephesians 5 and 6, Paul shows us how honour is played out in these three different environments.2021-09-1427 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamThe value of honourHonour has become an archaic word in modern times. Honour however plays such a pivotal role in causing all our relationships to thrive and flourish. This week, Ps Andrew Kulasingham shares from Exodus 20:12 on the value of creating a culture of honour in all our relationships, and it starts in the home.2021-09-0631 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamAre you ready?This is a special message brought to us by Rhena Kulasingham. Rhena shares with us a dream she had and the message the Lord gave her about His imminent return. This is a poignant word for all of us in the season we find ourselves in.2021-08-1626 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamReturn to your first love and first worksThe church in Ephesus had a zeal for truth that Christ commended. But their zeal got the better of them and they found themselves receiving a severe warning from the Lord. In their zeal to defend the truth, they had divorced themselves from love. Zeal divorced from love is a destructive force. The call of Christ was for them to remember their first love, repent and do the first works. In our quest to defend our christian values, have we become so caught up in the fight that we have left our first love and abandoned our first works...2021-07-1324 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamThe heart of the matterThe Scriptures teach us that Divine revelation is reserved for those who pursue it. In this fast paced, everyday world, our attention is so divided that God can sometimes be an after thought and pursuing God an activity when we can spare the time. The reality is, the only way we are going to experience the complete healing and restoration we are longing for is if we pursue God with all our heart. The problem does not lie with the world or the external environment we live in. It really is about the condition of our heart. The heart...2021-07-0531 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamRelentless prayer our only weaponOne of the most effective devices used by the devil against God’s people is delayed prayer. Unanswered prayer is inconsistent with the nature of God. Unanswered prayer is incompatible to the power of the name of Jesus Christ. When you face unanswered prayer giving up is not an option. Relentless prayer is our only weapon against delayed prayer.2021-06-1433 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamCharacteristics of an overcomerThis is a special message brought to us by a dear friend and partner in ministry, David Turner. David shares with us his story of recent events that have taught him the nature of God as a deliverer and the call of God for believers to be overcomers. We trust you will be blessed by this message.2021-06-0432 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamThe Invisible WarOur series on being an overcomer continues with this message on the invisible war christians face daily. We are battling forces we cannot see. If our battles are invisible then our weapons must be of divine power.2021-05-2727 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamWe shall overcomeSacrifice, suffering and tribulation are not words we hear too often preached from the pulpit. Yet every New Testament book from the Gospels right through to the Book of Revelation talks about suffering and a life of sacrifice as a normal part of a Christian’s life. The New Testament seems preoccupied with seeking to encourage and strengthen the reader in the midst of trials, tribulations and suffering. There is one running theme in all these books – the message is clear – We shall overcome. 2021-05-1229 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamMake room for the otherWhat does it take to be a follower of Christ? This week's message revisits the idea of sacrifice and what it really takes to be a follower of Christ based on three pre-requisites given to us by Jesus in Luke 9:23-27.2021-05-0323 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamDivine RestlessnessDivine rest and divine restlessness are two sides of the same coin. The Bible speaks of both resting in God and always stirring ourselves up so we never get complacent. In this week’s message we are encouraged never to settle, never to be satisfied with mediocre, but to have a Godly frustration – this is not it – there is more.2021-04-1928 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamEternity in MindWhat’s your plan after you die? Most people’s response would be around Their end of life plans. None of those plans include life after death. We live our lives as if this life is it and everything ends after death. EasterSunday is one big reminder that there is life after death. Resurrection Sunday challenges us to live our lives daily with Eternity in mind.2021-04-0627 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamComing out of the shadowsToday we want to look at Colossians 2:16-18 (NKJV). Paul is correcting a fundamental flaw in the believer’s thinking that is taking them backwards in their relationship with Christ. We look at the relationship a Christian has with the law and rituals of the Old Testament. All the laws, all the festivals, all the holy days, everything the prophets spoke about were all fulfilled in Christ Jesus. They were all shadows. Christ is the reality.2021-03-2525 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamYou do somethingPrayer is a partnership with God. When we look to God for a miracle, God looks to us for a response. This week we look at the miracle of feeding the 5000. When the disciples approached Jesus for a solution for a hungry crowd of people, Jesus challenged them to do something about it.2021-03-0821 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamChild not orphanIn this week’s message we are challenged to live as a child and not an orphan. Using Hebrews 12:7-13 as a checklist, we are encouraged to search our hearts to see if we are living as a child of God or are we slipping in and out of an orphan mindset.2021-02-2226 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamCalled not drivenAre you living a called life or are you living a driven life? The difference lies in the condition of the inner life. This week we look at the life of Jacob. There is a distinct contrast between the first part of his life story as the man Jacob and the second half of his life as the patriarch Israel.2021-02-1524 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamPurposeful not aimlessAre you living a purposeful life or are you wandering aimlessly? Are you circling or spiralling? Life is a circular movement. In this message we look at the first two generations of the people of Israel. We are encouraged not to circle around a mountain aimlessly but to walk around walls and see them come tumbling down. 2021-02-0821 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamGod is good to me todayMore than 80% of the worlds population believe in the existence of God. The unique thing about followers of Christ is that we not only believe in the existence of God but we believe He is a good God and rewards those who diligently seek Him. This message encourages us to go into the new year with an unwavering faith that God is, God is good, and God is good to us. May we remind ourselves of this daily.2021-02-0127 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamPitch tents. Build altars.Do you know the difference between the temporal and the eternal? Are you investing in the right areas of your life so that you are not caught wanting in the end? This week’s sermon is an important reminder to all of us on how we are to live our lives on earth. We are to pitch tents and build altars. Knowing the difference is critical. The blessings in life are temporal. They are means to an end. Being a blessing to others – that has eternal consequences.2021-01-2523 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamFrom shadows to substanceHow we handle the Bible will determine whether we stay in the shadows or engage intimately with Christ. Our movement must be from principles to practice, which leads us to the Person Jesus Christ. This week’s message is about the movement that must happen in our lives daily, where we glean principles from the Bible, endeavour by God’s grace to put them into practice in order to draw near and abide in the presence of the person Jesus Christ.2021-01-1726 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamKeeping in rhythm with GodAs we enter this New Year with all its uncertainties, my invitation to all of us is - rather than get caught up in all the fog of unknowing, let us do one thing that is certain to make 2021 a blessed year. Keep in rhythm with God.2021-01-1133 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamO come Jesus, O come ImmanuelThis is our final podcast for the year. We will take a break for two weeks and will be back with our first podcast for 2021 on 12th January. Here's a short reflection for Christmas. We look at the two names of Jesus mentioned in Matthew's story of Christ's birth. Jesus and Immanuel.2020-12-2417 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamMarriage, magicians and a madmanIn Matthew’s Gospel, the birth of Jesus is limited to three historical events. A potential scandal that ended happily in marriage, a group of “magicians” from the East who came looking for the King and a madman who slaughtered innocent babies. As we look at the Christmas story through the lenses of Matthew, we ask an important question: “ What is the right response and what will it take for us to give the right response to Jesus the Christ?2020-12-2126 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamThe Father ranThis week we have a special Christmas message from Rhena Kulasingham.

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamGrace and TruthThe Christmas message is a message of grace and truth. Grace and truth are inseparable. The Bible tells us that Jesus was full of grace and truth.

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamHe came and He's coming againChristmas is a celebration of Christ’s first coming but it should also be a reminder that He is coming again. This week’s message is a timely reminder that just as the Bible foretold Christ’s first coming, it has also told us He is coming again. The people of God missed the Christ when He came the first time. May we not miss Him when He returns the second time.2020-11-3027 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamHeaven has invaded earthThe first coming of Jesus Christ was an invasion. Heaven invaded the earth. The true Christmas message is found in the first chapter of John's Gospel. Christ's coming has given access to the privilege of becoming children of God through rebirth.2020-11-2526 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamThe pleasure of pleasing GodPleasure is something that gets mixed reactions. In many religions, the denying oneself of pleasure is a commendable thing. Some may even say, one of the traits of a pious person is to forgo any pleasure. This week's message seeks to correct that misconception. The problem is not pleasure but where we derive our pleasure from. When we experience the pleasure of God, we experience true pleasure.2020-11-1630 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamBelieving the unbelievable part 2The Christian faith is an invitation to believe in a God who does impossible things. This week, we continue a two-part sermon on “believing the unbelievable”. We look at the story of Elizabeth in order to glean three principles on how to believe in the unbelievable?2020-11-1023 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamBelieving the unbelievableDo you focus on the impossible or do you focus on the God of the impossible. This week we look at the connection between what we believe and what we confess. It’s an invitation to change your speaking patterns to remain in the environment of believing the unbelievable?2020-11-0230 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamThink Big Do SmallIf we want to see the impossible made possible, there needs to be a big change in the way we think of God and the way we do life as a Christian. In this sermon, we are encouraged to think big but do small. Having a heavenly mindset about God possibilities but do life on earth where even the smallest things matter when done with eternity in mind. 2020-10-2527 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamOne foot in front of the otherTransformational momentum is created when we live our lives where a single act you do in obedience to the prompting of the Holy Spirit, aligns with Divine intervention and produces something miraculous.

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamFragrance not StenchThe Bible tells us we are to be people that draw others to Christ. Do we draw people to Christ or do we repel them away from Him? Are we a fragrance or a stench? This week we look at 2 Corinthians 2:14 where Paul says that we are the fragrance of Christ to both those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamCounted Worthy to SufferOne of the most remarkable things about the early church was the way they embraced suffering as part of their portion in their desire to advance the Kingdom of God. When the time came for the disciples to face persecution, they were prepared for it and not only endured it but embraced and counted it a privilege to suffer for Jesus Christ. In these days where the western church has experienced very little persecution if any, this concept of suffering for Christ may be one of the most timely reminders.2020-08-2432 min

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamYou become who you imitateMalcolm Muggeridge warned this generation that we have educated ourselves into imbecility, drugged ourselves into stupefaction, and are at the verge of extinction.

Doing Faith with Andrew KulasinghamJesus and Confident FaithWhen we say Amen what are we really saying. So be it! That's what most of us would probably understand Amen to be. These last two weeks we have seen that saying amen has much more significance to it.

But it also requires us to go beyond agreement into an active faith position - to believe, to nurture, to nourish, to build upon...2020-04-0934 min

We are encouraged to keep nourishing what we believe, daily walking based on what we believe, u...2020-03-2930 min
