The Beginning of the End

Series: Genesis

Preacher: James Tang

Sunday Worship Service

Date: 30th August 2026

Passage: Genesis 23:1-20

-------------------

In this message we sit with Abraham in his grief after Sarah’s death and watch him, still a sojourner, carefully buy a small piece of land as a quiet act of faith that looks beyond the present pain. It’s an invitation for us, in our own losses and ordinary days, to hold grief and hope together and to live with eternity in view, trusting that what God has promised will one day be fully ours in the city He is building.

The Sacrifice

Series: Genesis

Preacher: James Tang

Sunday Worship Service

Date: 23rd August 2026

Passage: Genesis 22:1-24

-------------------

Following Jesus is a lifelong series of responses to God’s call, illustrated by Abraham’s willingness to offer Isaac after decades of waiting for the promised son—trusting God’s character even when the command seemed to contradict the promise. This story ultimately reveals a faithful God who provides, points forward to Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, and challenges us to release our own “Isaacs” into His hands.

Date: 16th August 2026

Passage: Genesis 21:1-34

-------------------

When you wait a long time for a promise to be fulfilled, the anticipation builds—but what happens when the wait is finally over? Genesis 21 speaks on what it looks like trust God's timing, surrender our backup plans, and live faithfully in the tension of the "already and not yet."

Passage: Genesis 20:1-18

-------------------

We often expect spiritual growth to be a straight upward line, but Abraham’s repeated mistakes in Genesis 20 show us that faith is actually lived out in cycles and seasons. Even when we fall back into fear and compromise, God remains faithful, calling us to hold onto Jesus through all of life's ups and downs.

Date: 2nd August 2026

Passage: Genesis 19:1-38

-------------------

We often tell ourselves we can handle a little compromise, but just like Lot, we quickly find ourselves trapped at the bottom of a slippery slope of sin. Yet, even when we linger in our brokenness, Jesus mercifully runs into our mess, grabs us by the hand, and pulls us out of the fire.

Passage: Genesis 18:16-33

-------------------

When faced with the news of impending judgment on Sodom, Abraham didn't turn away from God—he ran toward Him. As friends of God, we also have the privilege to pray to Him, the Righteous Judge, because of our perfect intercessor.
