Matthew 24:26-35 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

(1) Ordination Service

Thank God for a blessed ordination service on Reformation Sunday (25 October 2015). We had well over 200 in attendance to witness the special occasion.

The four-member ordination council comprises Rev Dr Jeffrey Khoo (Pastor of True Life BP Church), Rev Dr Prabhudas Koshy (Pastor of Gethsemane BP Church), Rev Tan Kian Sing (Pastor of Berean BP Church) and Rev Dr Tow Siang Hwa (Senior Pastor of Calvary Pandan BP Church). However, Rev Dr Tow was not able to be with us as he was still recuperating in the hospital after a surgery.

Rev Dr Jeffrey Khoo chaired the ordination service whilst Rev Dr Prabhudas Koshy gave the message entitled “The Power and Prospect of the Ministry” taken from 2 Timothy 1:6-18.

Two other pastors, Rev Kiantoro Lie (Pastor of Calvary Batam BP Church) and Rev Wee Eng Moh (Pastor of Berith BP Church) joined in the laying of hands during the ordination.

Rev Tan Kian Sing gave the charge from 1 Timothy 4:12-16; Titus 2:1-3; 2 Timothy 4:1-5.
