(1) A Tribute to Mothers
Thank God for mothers. Today, we specially remember their influence in our lives. We remember their love, care and nurturing. The Bible teaches us in the fifth commandment to honour father and mother (Ex. 20:12 cf. Eph. 6:3). This is the first commandment pertaining to human relations and the only commandment with promise of blessing.
Daniel 3 (KJV)
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Matthew 5:13-20 (KJV)
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
1) Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting
We are beginning a new series of bible studies on the Book of Daniel, entitled “Faithful Living in a Faithless World” for our Wednesday night prayer meetings. We encourage you to make an appointment with the Lord to come and pray with His people and for His people. We meet at our “Upper Room” called the “Praise Chapel” at 8pm. All are welcome.
Daniel 2 (KJV)
And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.
Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
Thank God for gathering us for worship on both Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Our youth choir sang for the first time on Good Friday to the praise and glory of His blessed Name. The hymn was “Jesus Paid It All” with Mrs. Siow conducting and Miss Lois Lek on the keyboard. It was a memorable Good Friday service with Mrs. Ivy Ng–Jamieson joining us for worship after a two-week treatment at the National University Hospital. Thank God for sustaining and keeping her. Praise God also for new visitors including my aunt who came to church for the first time. May the gospel seed sown, take root and bear fruit. All praise and glory to our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
Daniel 2 (KJV)
1. And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.
2. Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
3. And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
Mark 16:1-15 (KJV)
1. And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
3. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day after His death on the cross to live forever more. This is our blessed hope. Because Jesus rose from the dead He will also raise all who have died in Christ at His coming. This is the comfort for the bereaved. The separation from our loved ones who have gone before us in the Lord is but temporal. We shall see them again.
Matthew 27:45-54 (KJV)
45. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47. Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
