by Asst Ps Elaine Ng As you read this, the largest Church Camp in our church’s history is taking place in Melaka, Malaysia. For most of my working life, I always looked forward to church camps as a mid-year spiritual retreat to relax, renew and recharge so much so that in my former workplace, my colleagues (the pre-believers too) used to expect me to go to Camp in June and wondered what I did at such retreats. I have found camps a great time to (re)connect with old and new fr

by Ps Lai Keet Keong “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” (Romans 8:37) We live in an age that worships at the altar of positive thinking. Walk into any bookstore, and you will find shelves lined with guides on how to manifest success, speak victory into existence, or simply "fake it till you make it." There is nothing wrong with a hopeful attitude. However, human optimism is a fragile resource. It depends on our circumstances, our

by Snr Ps Beh Soo Yeong (This is the first of three instalments relating to LP transition that I will be sharing in the course of the next few months.) Leadership transition is often a tricky, if not touchy topic in church leadership. Few churches talk about it openly and constructively, and even fewer do it intentionally and effectively, especially for senior leadership transitions. Regardless of the reasons, the stakes and costs of failed transitions are too high for us to

by Dn Leong Pei De, Victor (adapted from a sermon by Ps Craig Groeschel - Keep a Good Marriage From Drifting) “Life happened” is a phrase I frequently turn to when I can’t quite seem to describe the reasons things have gone a certain way. Life, as it turns out, has a way of presenting incessant events, challenges and circumstances which creep in and cause one to drift from established routines, committed friendships, and the best of our resolutions. Soon there is a new normal

by Asst Ps Patrick Chan Yin One of the beautiful things about our church is that we are a church for all generations. Praise the Lord for that! Every weekend, we gather as children, youths, young adults, adults, parents, seniors, singles, and families — all seeking to follow Jesus together. At the same time, we also recognize that different life stages come with different needs. That is why we have age-specific ministries like Kids for Christ (KFC), Teenacity, CRUX, Families,

by Ms Lilian Poon This is the weekend when flower businesses surge. Bouquets fly off the shelves, restaurant reservations fill up, and families creatively plan to celebrate with their beloved mothers. Amid the festivities of this once-a-year celebration, we also want to remember the very essence of motherhood, expressed through virtues such as nurturing, encouragement, and perseverance. In many ways, motherhood has much to teach us about mentoring and discipling. Consider thi

by Asst Ps Timothy Lee “Have you eaten?” 吃了吗 is a traditional, caring greeting in many Asian cultures. It’s not usually a literal question, but a warm way of asking, “How are you?”—a recognition that food and well-being are closely connected. As we often say, 能吃是福—being able to eat is a blessing. Recently, I shared a table at a coffeeshop with a Swiss national who has been in Singapore for two years. When I asked what he enjoys about Singapore, he immediately mentioned the

by Snr Ps Beh Soo Yeong “Why are you retiring so early?” This was a question that a few well-meaning members asked me since the beginning of the year when I announced that I will be stepping down as Lead Pastor and Ps Wei-en will take over this role in January 2027. Just to put the record straight, I am not retiring, at least not yet! Instead, I will be switching roles within the church staff team, to focus on leadership development in the church, besides the other usual duti

by Mr Lim Eng Staying the Course Together As Brother Gift Daniel welcomed our third batch of Equip Asia participants on Sunday, 12 April 2026 at 5pm over Zoom, our hearts overflowed with thanksgiving. Approaching this nearly ten-year milestone, we are quietly yet deeply reminded that this journey has only been possible because of God’s enduring faithfulness and goodness. It all began in 2017 with an inaugural two-year, in-person training programme in Singapore. Then came

by Dn Leo Fu “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism ; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians 4.4-6) One baptism. Certainly, baptism involves a personal decision. But it is not just personal , it is communal and corporate in every sense of the word. Whether you are witnessing baptism, or going through the waters, we are all witnessing, partaking,

by Ps Lai Keet Keong There is a sacred rhythm woven into the fabric of our faith. It is the pendulum swing from the silence of the tomb to the shout of the empty grave. For anyone walking through a season of sorrow - whether it be the loss of a loved one, a shattered dream, or a prolonged waiting - the move from lament to praise can feel not only difficult but impossible. Grief has a weight that pins us to the ground, much like the heavy stone that sealed Jesus’ tomb. Yet, th

by Dr Peter Lim This being Passion Week, may I suggest that a part of our personal devotion be focussed on the suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ. Perhaps you could take some time to meditate on the final words of our Lord Jesus Christ from the cross. The four Gospel writers recorded a total of seven utterances by our Lord Jesus Christ from the cross. Matthew and Mark each had only one while Luke and John included three each. Some reflection on these words will prove salu

by Snr Ps Beh Soo Yeong Once a year, the church holds our AGM, where registered members of the church are asked to gather to examine the affairs and vote on various matters of the church. As a society registered in Singapore, our registered members are those who were baptised in the Bible Church or chose to transfer their membership to us. As a legally registered society, the AGM is a church business meeting that is required by the laws of the land. Does this mean that those

by Asst Ps Timothy Lee Two significant family-related news made headlines recently: Singapore's number of marriages has reached its lowest point since COVID-19, and the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has dropped to an unprecedented low of 0.87. I took the opportunity to ask a few of the couples attending the Pre-Marriage Course on what their thoughts on the low TFR are. Their response: “Cost of living and the cost of raising children.” Their concern is understandable. The cost of

by Dn Yvonne Chong Every December I would look forward to celebrating Christmas - the carols, the visits to homes and hospitals, the familiar melodies that fills the wards with Hope. One song we often sing “I Have a Gift” (a Chinese song). The song echoes the need to receive the gift that is given by the Giver. It is free and it only needs to be received. Each time we sing it, I remember her. The old lady with white hair, seated in a wheelchair a few steps away from the nurs

by Ps Lai Keet Keong “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” Hebrews 6:19 Dear friends, as we continue our Lenten journey this week, I found my heart needing some extra quietness lately. Perhaps it is the weight of the past months and the challenges faced, drawing me to reflect on what the future holds in light of the past and present. Recently our Prime Minister Lawrence Wong delivered Singapore's Budget 2026 statement – a record $154.7 billion pl

by Asst Ps Patrick Chan Yin As we enter the season of Lent, I would like to invite all of us to pause for a moment. Life goes on very quickly. Our days are filled with work, school, family responsibilities, messages on our phones, and many other things calling for our attention. Yet, the period of Lent is a gift from God that gently asks us to slow down. It is a season in the church year that prepares our hearts for Good Friday (3 Apr) and Easter (5 Apr), helping us remember

by Ps Lim Wei-en In a few days’ time, many of us will be celebrating the Lunar New Year (17 Feb). This is typically a season of celebration and feasting with family and friends, with a focus on material prosperity. It happens that Lent this year starts on the 2 nd day of the Lunar New Year (18 Feb), Lent being a 40-day season of preparation for Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday through disciplines that promote self-denial, prayer and caring for the disadvantaged. How can t

by Asst Ps Elaine Ng Just this past week, Kelvin and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. We are deeply grateful to God for His love and grace to help us reach this milestone. We count ourselves blessed and know that God’s grace, loved ones and this church community have helped us on our journey thus far. To God be the glory! First decade We are grateful to God for the pre-marital course that we attended in this church and our marriage mentors, Mr and Mrs Francis Loo. I

by Asst Ps Timothy Lee The end of the year often brings a mix of emotions. While there is much to be thankful for, uncertainty looms about what the new year may bring. Last year was particularly significant for our family, as my daughter was in Primary 6—the year of the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE). Questions filled our minds: Would she do well? Which secondary school would she go to? Would it be the “right” place for her? We were on holiday when her exam results
