Trusting in God’s Steadfast Love
by Ms Selina Gunawan 1 Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright. 2 Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!

In the Face of Death
A Word from our Pastor Death can be cruel but can also be a great wake up call to examine if we have lived our lives well. Watch the video to see what living in light of eternity can teach us.

A Word from our Pastor Not Fear, but Trust – by Pastor Anthony Lee The news these two weeks have been replete with churches (and even pastors!) being infected with the novel Coronavirus (now named Covid-19). In times like these, it is very easy to fall prey to our fears and lose sight of who our God is. I am reminded of a passage in Daniel 3, where Daniel’s three friends were faced with the threat of a blazing furnace…
