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.

Mr John B MacArthur had been called Home to be with the Lord on 14 July 2025 at the age of 86.

Dear Family and Friends, 

The late Mr John B MacArthur had been called Home to be with the Lord on 14 July 2025 at the age of 86.

Like many people, I have been and continue to be helped by Mr John MacArthur's videos and messages.

Below is a very encouraging message by Mr John MacArthur on how he can be thankful during trials.

He spoke of how he saw the good and kind providential hands of God in everything in his life. Every hard things, every challenge, no matter what the challenges.

He can be grateful because he knows the outcome of everything. He said the outcome of everything is to the glory of God and the benefit of His children.

He made sure he allowed his heart to rejoice in the Lord because he knew God will perfect him and bring glory to Himself through his trials, probably more than any other way.

May you be blessed too if you get to listen to this short message!

Isaiah 55:1-3

1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

"Our heart shall rejoice in Him." Psalm 33:21 from CH Spurgeon's Morning and Evening devotional book, 2 July, Morning.

Dear Reader,

Thanks for stopping by. I read the following encouraging portion from CH Spurgeon. May you be blessed too!

"Our heart shall rejoice in Him." Psalm 33:21

Blessed is the fact that Christians can rejoice even in the deepest distress; although trouble may surround them, they still sing; and, like many birds, they sing best in their cages. 

The waves may roll over them, but their souls soon rise to the surface and see the light of God's countenance;...... and helps them to sing amid the tempest, "God is with me still." 

To whom shall the glory be given? Oh! to Jesus--it is all by Jesus. 

Trouble does not necessarily bring consolation with it to the believer, but the presence of the Son of God in the fiery furnace with him fills his heart with joy. 

He is sick and suffering, but Jesus visits him and makes his bed for him.....

(Excerpts From CH Spurgeon's Morning and Evening, 2 July, Morning.)

Sermon by Pastor Tongkam Pongponsak on "Only the Eternal God Can Satisfy the Eternal Heart" from the Bible text in Ecclesiastes 3:1-11.

Dear Reader,

On 29 June 2025, my Church (Pilgrim Covenant Church) in Singapore, ordained Pastor Tongkam Pongpansak to be our Missionary Pastor to our mission work among the Karen children, youths and community, in MaeSaeRiang, Northern Thailand.

Pastor Tongkam preached the sermon below on "Only the Eternal God Can Satisfy the Eternal Heart" from the Bible text in Ecclesiastes 3:1-11.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 (KJV)
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
