“This is a story about a sinner. It is a story about a guy in search of his identity, worth, purpose and belonging. But it is ultimately a story of victory – God’s grace and victory in pursing and lifting this sinner from the lows to heavenly heights.”
Read More"I leaned over to Mike to tell him that I needed to talk to him after church about something important - it turned out that during that same song, God had spoken to both of our hearts that the time to adopt was NOW."
Read More“When I had my first-born, I planned nursing time, diaper changing time, my showering time, my own mealtime, and my rest time. I thought I had it all together. But reality ruthlessly ripped my plans into pieces and flushed them down the drain.”
Read More“Every question and doubt I had about faith, she patiently answered in a way that a non-believer could accept and understand. At that time, I realised that God was trying to speak to me.”
Read More“….It became crystal clear that Jesus did not want my moral character, my serving in church or even my monetary giving if I did all these only for my own benefit. Jesus wanted me to give up my life and to spend it on him and for the gospel.”
Read More“God softened my heart and allowed me to savour, appreciate and accept his gospel and his grace…I feel free and liberated, not bound to good works or the fear of purgatory…my identity is bound only to Jesus Christ.”
Read More“Expecting the sermon to be the same, thinking about the kids I needed to pick up afterwards, how long it may take etc. But the Word of God that was read cut deep into my heart that day and quieted me. Here I was, cheeky and expecting to be ‘entertained’, critical of the music, the pastor, the church and whatever. But then the King came to me.”
Read More“One morning when reading Romans 8, I was unable to hold in my emotions. I went back to my car and began to cry uncontrollably. I saw how sinful a life I had been living and was overcome by the fact that Jesus had suffered and had been nailed to the cross for MY sins. Jesus had taken the punishment that I deserved. And all because of God’s immeasurable love and mercy.”

Read More“When I am able to stop and refocus upon the fact of my identity and self-worth in Christ, I find that I enjoy my job much more. I am able to work without that constant sense of worry and self-doubt that may otherwise plague me. I know that even if I fail, I remain the most important person to the most important being in the Universe, the one who Jesus loves. I can tell you, that is a real stress killer."
Read More“I am the middle child in my family, and my parents were really hoping I was boy. God gave them me instead, and they never failed to remind me that I was not a boy. I was pretty insecure as a child and into adulthood and often sought to gain favour by putting my other siblings down. Socially, I always sought to fit in, and would bend over backwards to please people. It has been a little over 10 years since since I accepted Christ. I still battle with temptations and finding contentment somewhere else other than Christ. God has been good and I trust that he will always be good.”
Read More“Operating under grace wasn’t always easy—it meant that God could ask anything of me, and a constant acknowledgment that I was broken, sinful and in need of a saviour. I’ve been truly built up by his body loving and serving me, encouraging/admonishing me in pointing me to Jesus.”
