Gospel City ChurchOut Of ContextIn our first sermon, Kyle Essary, one of our elders, preached from Daniel 1 which we explored the clash of cultures, the temptation to compromise, and the peaceful resistance Daniel and his companions experienced. We learned from Daniel 1 about how we should live in a world where cultures collide. The biblical solution is to seek godly wisdom through prayer, meditation on the gospel, and living in a Christian community. We also learned about God’s sovereignty. It was God, and not Nebuchadnezzar, who was ultimately the one moving the wheel of history to accomplish his eternal ends. We take comfort kn...

Gospel City ChurchQuestions On DivorceKyle Essary preached to us from Matthew 19:1–12 on the question of divorce. In Jesus’s careful answers to the Pharisees’ questions, we saw God’s beautiful design for marriage, being a life-long, covenantal commitment to one’s spouse. We also saw how singlehood could be a God-focused calling for some believers. At the same time, we also saw God’s precious grace for hard hearts and for those who have been through or been affected by divorce. As we closed our gathering, we left with a refreshed sense of gratitude for God’s blessing of families, and determined to live more & mo...

Gospel City ChurchGod Desires Heartfelt WorshipKyle Essary, one of our covenant partners at GCC preached through Malachi 1:1-2:9. We learned about how God rebuked the Israelites for their false worship, and how they continued to question God’s love for them despite His steadfast commitment to them all along. God rejected Israel's heartless offerings, because they defiled what ought to be holy, and came from a heart that did not desire to honour Him. In addition, the Israelites behaved as such because they treasured and loved the things of the world, instead of the Lord.
However, we are no different from the Is...

Gospel City ChurchTransforming The CityToday we completed our Gospel N.E.T. series -- Kyle Essary, one of our covenant partners at GCC preached on the “T” - Transform. We were reminded, as we ever so often need to be, that the gospel of Jesus Christ makes it possible for us to be transformed and to bring about transformation even when it seems like we or the world are so very far from God. Indeed through transformed worship, cities, and nations, every domain tainted by sin can, is being, and will be renewed by God’s grace.
Through Revelation, Zechariah, Isaiah, and mo...

Gospel City ChurchEmpowered For Life In A Corrupt SystemWe were thankful to have Kyle Essary, one of GCC’s covenant partners, bring us through Ephesians 6:5-9 today, a challenging and sobering passage. We were met with the horrifying reality of slavery practised during the Roman empire, but also confronted with the reality of human sin. Humans are capable of such evil, and we continue to wield power over the powerless in unjust, humiliating, and disgusting ways even today.
Yet, Jesus Christ, the true master of the universe, the king of kings, became a slave for His people. He endured injustice and suffering, bearing God’s wrat...

Gospel City ChurchEmpowered To HolinessKyle Essary, one of our covenant partners preached on Ephesians 4: 17-32. We were reminded of the most effective way to fight sin is to recognize and see the beauty of Christ, and finding Him most satisfying. Never be satisfied with less than all of God and a lifestyle that reflects Him.

Gospel City ChurchCalled To PrayKyle Essary, one of our covenant partners, preached from Ephesians 1: 15-23, as part of our sermon series “In Christ” based on the book of Ephesians.
We are often not focus or distracted when we pray. We are often self centered when we pray. But when we remember the truths of Christ, the richness of the doctrines motivate us to pray, shape the content of our prayers, and give us the confidence to pray.
Why do you pray? We pray in response to God’s majestic work in the gospel. Our prayers focus on His character, fame a...

Gospel City ChurchPrisoner to Prime Minister ... But GodKyle Essary, our soon to be covenant partner, preached from Genesis 39-41. Material blessings can blind us to God’s Providence in our lives, just like Joseph in the passage. We often mistakenly associate success, security and safety as God being present with us, and suffering as the absence of God.
In reality, God’s power is made perfect in weakness. It is in suffering that we experience more deeply the presence of God. We were reminded that suffering is the way of Jesus.

Gospel City ChurchDysfunction Destroys A Family ... But GodKyle Essary preached from Genesis 37:2-36. We looked at this passage and saw so much dysfunction and discord in the family, but God still fulfill His promises in spite of their sins. We thank God we have Jesus whose death and resurrection have taken away our sins and shame. In Christ, we are adopted into a new family. In Christ, we have the power to put away jealousy and pride.

Gospel City ChurchCivil WarKyle Essary, a good friend of GCC, preached from Judges 19:1- 21:25, and with this, we have ended the sermon series, “Broken”. We see that without God, the Israelites and us are broken people. We need a true king who rules with justice and righteousness, and we look forward to the day when Jesus will rule in the new heavens on earth. May we faithfully proclaim this gospel message to all those who have yet to call Him their Lord and Savior.

Gospel City ChurchA Broken Land & A Broken CovenantKyle Essary, a friend of GCC, preached from Judges 1:1- 2:5. This is the first sermon on the series “Broken”. We were reminded of what success in the eyes of the Lord is, and reflected on what compromise looks like. The gospel is what enables us to live without compromise, in obedience to God. The grace of the gospel allows us to freely pursue obedience joyfully.

Gospel City ChurchThe God Who Keeps His PromiseKyle Essary preached from Genesis 23:1-20. As we walked through the significance of this passage, we saw how Abraham lived and died standing on God’s promises. He saw some of them fulfilled in his lifetime but not all. Similarly, we are people who are living in the already and not yet. Jesus has secured all of God’s promises but we haven’t fully receive them yet. Therefore, we can live by faith because of what Jesus has done, and live in joyful expectations of what He will do.
We continue to live in this broken world...

Gospel City ChurchFinal Lessons For A ChurchKyle Essary, our guest speaker preached the last sermon in this series of 1 Corinthians. The passage was from 1 Corinthians 16:1-24. It is a wonderful ending to be reminded to keep the gospel central in all that we do.
Joyful obedience won’t come from external pressure. Instead, joyful obedience comes from the freeing knowledge of the gospel. We can sacrifice of our time, finances, and personal desires for the sake of others because our hope is not found in what we do, what we own, or what we can obtain through our efforts. Our hope is in Ch...
