Prayer Of Relinquishment – 8 Apr 2020

A HOLY WEEK JOURNEY IN ADVERSITY TOWARDS RESILIENCE HOLY WEEK READING-REFLECTION PLAN 8th April 2020, Wednesday: Luke 22:39-46    Prayer Of Relinquishment In the school of Gethsemane, we learn the Prayer of Relinquishment. In the starkness of the scene, gaze in wonder at the solitary figure etched against the gnarled olive trees. The bloodlike sweat falling onto the ground. The human longing: “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me”. The final relinquishment; “Not My will, but Yours…

O How He Loves You And Me – 7 Apr 2020

A HOLY WEEK JOURNEY IN ADVERSITY TOWARDS RESILIENCE HOLY WEEK READING-REFLECTION PLAN 7th April 2020, Tuesday: John 17:22-26    O How He Loves You And Me Begin by prayerfully reading the whole of John 17. As Jesus concludes His prayer, perhaps these last few verses before His ordeal reveal what’s foremost on His heart? First, implicit throughout Jesus’ prayers is His deference to the Father, and this spirit of honour is evident as He closes His prayer. All things have…

Have you seen a grown…

Love your Neighbour

Rev Anthony Lee All of us know the great commandments: love God and love your neighbour as yourself. I suppose there is no better time than this Covid-19 season to express our love for our neighbours by staying away from people (whether at work, in school, at church, or even for a simple meal) when we feel unwell, even remotely unwell. Note what the commandment says, “Love your neighbour as yourself.” Would you want to catch Covid-19 from someone else? Clearly,…

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! (Psalm 33) The psalmist reminds us to rejoice in the Lord and to praise Him for all that He has done. Rejoicing in the Lord is also a message that Paul wrote to Philippians church. Despite suffering and persecution, Paul…

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. Lent is the season we are made to confront our mortality, and all the more so with Covid-19 looming over all our heads. As for our church, more acutely than ever, we are confronted with the fragility of life…

We understand that our Church members may be affected by these said measures, and we want to provide you with the necessary support. If you or you know of any…
