Studies show that while most pastors want the church to reach unbelievers, most church members are more concerned about how the church can meet their own needs. In this series, we will explain why Christianity is truly good news that we simply must not keep to ourselves.
Most of us get our sex education outside the church and may wonder why the church has so many prohibitions against something that we ought to just let people enjoy freely and privately as they wish.

Pastor Alywin shares with us what will drive us to passionately share our faith with joy and selflessness, in the third message of the series, entitled: Profound Gratitude.
Sometimes, after experiencing bad things, our ideals of goodness in life come crashing down hard and we lose hope altogether. However, there is a hope that helps us to handle the present life.

What most of us need to realise is that the Bible paints a picture of unbelievers that is radically different from the way we usually view them.
