Sermon "Be watchful when you hear the word because your adversary…" by Pastor Linus Church at PCC Church in Singapore

Dear Reader,

Thank you for stopping by. Thank God for the encouraging sermon "Be watchful when you hear the word because your adversary…" from God's Words, the Bible, from the book of Matthew 13:18-23 that my Church's pastor, Pastor Linus Chua, preached during the morning worship in my Church, Pilgrim Covenant Church (PCC), Singapore on 20 July 2025 at 9:30am. 

Matthew 13:18-23 (King James Version/KJV)

18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

1 Corinthians 5 (King James Version / KJV) exposition of God's Words by Pastor JJ Lim at PCC Singapore

Dear Reader,

Thank you for stopping by. Thank God for the encouraging expositions and explanations of God's Words from the book of First Corinthians Chapter 5 (1 Corinthians 5) that my Church's pastor, Pastor JJ Lim, shared during the morning worship in my Church, Pilgrim Covenant Church (PCC), Singapore on 6 April 2025 Morning worship service at 9:30am. Below, are the expositions of 

1 Corinthians 5 (King James Version / KJV)

1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.

2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,

4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:

10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

May you be blessed by God's Words!
