דA nurturing community is one where every member brings life to another, helping each other grow through mutual care.” - @chrisvonne Ps. Christine encouraged us to be a nurturing church. Speaking from Romans 12:9-21, we learnt what love in action looks like, and how we are called to behave as followers of Christ. She emphasised 3 key points on what a nurturing community should be: 1. One with the right heart posture, expressing love that is sincere and honouring, not self-serving. 2. One that is present and shows up through seasons, holding space for people to open up. 3. One that is patient and shows grace even through conflict, focusing on forgiveness and restoration. In a world where people are spiritually neglected, may we be a spiritually nurturing church where those who are hurting can heal. May we also experience God’s nuture first so that we can be the physical expression of His love and care to the people around us.…
“As Christians, we were never meant to live a life bound by unforgiveness.” - David Tan This morning, David spoke to us on “The Freedom to Forgive”. Drawing from the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18:23-35, we learn that God, in His grace and mercy, forgives us of our debts. Likewise, we are called to forgive others, which is to release any further feelings and anger towards the person or people who have wronged us. When we forgive and repent, it allows us to live in freedom in spirit, soul and body by letting go of everything else and aligning ourselves to Christ. We pray that God will reveal the depths of His forgiveness to us, that we would receive it and learn to forgive ourselves and others quickly.…

And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.’ - Acts 2:17 NKJV Ps Samuel Phun shared about Biblical Parenting, and called upon our community to sow into the next generation and their faith in God. Sharing from the story of Joshua and his decedents in Judges 2:10, Ps Samuel reminded us that ensuring that the next generation knows God and His works starts with us. Knowing God means encountering Him deeply—then passing that on. May we be a community that grows in the fear of the Lord and that will champion the next generation to do the same.…

Christianity doesn’t leave us to face death alone. Instead, it gives us a Champion who has defeated death, and who pardons and covers us with His love.” - @andrejosiah At our Resurrection Sunday service, Pastor Andre concluded our series on the Seven "I Am"s of Jesus - with a sharing on Jesus as the Resurrection and the Life. Many of us fear death, and are reluctant to face our own mortality. We find it hard to comprehend a life beyond this present world, and think that this is all we will ever experience and enjoy. However, as we reflect on Jesus’ death and resurrection, we are reminded that our Saviour has conquered death for us. Because He is risen, we are raised to new life in Him. We can now have hope, even through loss, and can live with resurrection courage because nothing, not even death, can separate us from the love of God. Christ is risen. He is risen, indeed!…
“Jesus is the way to the Father, manifests the truth of the Father, and gives us the life of the Father.” - Peh Han On week 6 of our Lent series, The Seven “I Am”s of Jesus, and Ps. Peh Han brought us a word on Jesus being the way, the truth and the life. Speaking from John 14:1-6, Jesus declares Himself as the way - the bridge between us and the Father, the truth - the anchor and answer to every chain of life’s questions, and the life - who authors, gives and sustains life. Through Jesus, we are invited to come home to the Father and commune with Him the way we were created to. Amidst the doubt and confusion that life throws at us, may we continue being anchored in Jesus by walking the narrow way towards the life we were called to in Christ, and recognise that Jesus is the only truth that we should believe.…
“Our security lies in our proximity to the Good shepherd. We can trust Jesus the good shepherd to lead and care for us.” - @pehhan82 Pst Peh Han continued our Lent series on the Seven “I Ams” of Jesus, with a sharing on Jesus as our shepherd. Jesus’ leadership of His flock is the antithesis of today’s ideas strong leadership - self sacrificial and meek, He watches over His sheep with deep concern and care because we are His own. The question for us today is: do we know His voice, just as He knows us intimately? May we desire to cultivate a deep and personal relationship with our shepherd, and answer His call to hand our lives completely to Him as He leads us into the future we long for.…
“Living a vibrant life in the Lord involves going in and out of the gate - not staying safe on the inside of pasture, but taking up the call to follow Him in laying down our lives for a cause that he has called us to.” - @janicechinchern Janice continued our Lent series with a sharing on Jesus’ saying: I am the gate. While we go through many different paths to find fulfilment and purpose, we discover that there is no other way to deliverance from sin, disordered desires and salvation but through Jesus. As the gate, He protects, saves and restores us. Yet, the invitation isn’t just to experience Jesus for ourselves but to follow in His footsteps and be a gate that others may come to know Him. As we reflect on the word, may we rediscover Jesus as our gate that we may rest and live secure in Him. At the same time, pray into how we may serve others around us just as Jesus did.…
“To abide is to draw life from something - to stay close and long enough so that whatever you’re abiding in begins to shape, nourish and form you.” - @andrejosiah In week 5 of our Lent series on the seven “I Am”s of Jesus, we dive into Jesus being the vine. Focusing on John 15:1-11, Ps. Andre shares that because Jesus is the true vine, we now have direct access to God through abiding in Jesus. To abide is to make your home in something or somewhere. When Jesus calls us to abide in Him, He is saying to us to make our home in Him, as He makes His home in us. Just like a branch draws life from a vine, as we remain in Jesus, we draw life from Him and are shaped into His likeness. And just as a gardener prunes the branches that bear fruit so that it can be even more fruitful, we face seasons of trials and tribulations that test our faith to purify and prepare us to receive more of what God has promised us. As we learn to continually abide in the true vine and root our lives in Him, we pray that we would not rush through life, strive to prove ourselves or shy away from suffering, but to recognise that we are already loved and chosen by God, and that our joy is complete in Him.…
“To our struggle with emptiness, evil and existential longing, Jesus says. “I am the Light”, the fulfilment of God’s presence, righteousness and salvation for you.” - @timothyshaun Tim continued our Lent series on the seven “I Am”s of Jesus, with a sharing from John 8, where Jesus makes Himself known as the Light of the World. Have we tried to fight the darkness in our lives with artificial light instead of following and pursuing the ultimate light - Jesus Himself? Yet, nothing can guide us out of spiritual darkness but Jesus who has come to lead and save us from our sins. May our response be to receive, walk in and share the Light of Christ in our lives, and know Him as He desires to be known.…
“Jesus came to change our desires at the core so that He becomes the main one, the central desire.” - @pehhan82 Kicking off the Lenten sermon series ‘The Seven ‘I am’s’ Of Jesus’, Ps. Peh Han taught from John 6:26-35, where Jesus declared Himself to be the bread of life. He promised that those who put their faith in Him would never hunger and would receive eternal life. The miraculous act of Jesus feeding the multitude with just five loaves and two fish was intended to reveal His divine nature, inviting people to place their faith in Him as the provider of eternal treasures, far beyond the fleeting satisfactions of this world. It reminds us that when we focus on temporary things, we lose sight of what truly matters. God knows our needs and will provide, though not always in the way we expect. Jesus came to redirect our desires, urging us to focus on the eternal, making Him the central and lasting desire of our hearts. Let’s reflect on Jesus as the Bread of Life, and examine areas where we may be focused on the temporary and shift our focus to what is eternal. May we trust in God’s provision, even when it doesn’t align with our expectations, and let this deepen our desire for Jesus and setting our hearts on the eternal treasures He provides.…

“We can’t step into God’s promise while still holding onto the idols of yesterday.” - @andrejosiah In the final week of our Vision Series, Ps. Andre spoke on his vision to see our church become a people who refuses to settle. Speaking from the life of Terah, we learnt that there are a couple of factors why we settle in our faith - out of familiarity, out of grief or loss, or out of fear. When we allow these things to have a hold on us, they hold us back from stepping fully into what God has in store for us. Are there any areas in your life where you have settled, thus preventing you from taking that step of faith to fully obey God’s call? We pray that God will grant us the courage to submit those areas to Him, and refuse to settle for anything less than all of Him.…

“The world will not be impressed by a church that mirrors society’s divisions, but it will be astonished by a church where people who have nothing in common except Jesus — love one another as family.” - @andrejosiah In week 2 of our Vision Series, Ps. Andre shared his heart for The City to have a missional unity which transcends personal preference, affinity, and cultural similarities, and binds the church together for the shared purpose of advancing the gospel. He talked about how missional unity can be expressed through being a category-defying community, one that guards against division, and captures a shared mission. In a world that teaches us to narrow our circle - to align ourselves with people who think like us, act like us, live like us and benefit us, may we be the church that does the opposite: widen the circle to welcome those whom the world would never put together.…

“To fall in God’s kingdom is to be about good deeds without great love. It is giving up the better part.” – @andrejosiah Pst Andre kicked off our Vision Series today with a message on Fending Off Lukewarmness. Sharing from the story of the church of Ephesus that started with passionate love for Jesus but eventually settled for routine faithfulness, it was a stark reminder of how easily we too can lose our zeal and fall into compromise. Jesus shows us the way back—by remembering what we’ve lost, repenting from the seriousness of sin, and returning to the works of first love. Let’s rededicate ourselves to a rhythm of renewal, and rediscover a desire for God’s love and life to fill our lives and community.…
It’s time to get serious.” - @timothyshaun Following Andrew’s message on our priestly calling, Timothy encouraged us to follow Jesus seriously in 2025. We know that we are to live with our reward being joy and communion with God, and spend our lives for God’s dreams and His kingdom. But in trying to live out these goals, we realise that our hearts are prone to wander because the desires of our hearts are at war with each other, distracting us from pursuing God’s kingdom wholeheartedly. Let’s stop to ask ourselves where our desires are leading us to - the desires of the flesh, or Jesus and His kingdom? As we commit to lay down the desires of our flesh, Jesus reassures us that we will receive our reward, though sometimes not in the way or at a time we may expect. So how should we live in this tension and position where we are to hold on to the desires that God has given us, yet be open-handed with how and when they come into fruition? Timothy encourages us to go deeper inward, by sitting with our wants and allow the Holy Spirit to show us how order our true desires. He also mentioned how we could reach further outward; where seeking first the kingdom looks like being on the mission of God.…
“Jesus did not promise that everything will work out in this life, even if we were fully obedient. However, he promised that it will be worth it, because He is worth it all.” - @andoryuutam Speaking from the book of Malachi and the life of John the Baptist, we learn what our priestly calling is, which is primarily to revere God, and stand in front of Him in awe and trembling. We are called to live faithfully, putting the first things first and letting everything else apart from God fade away. May we be like John the Baptist and be a people who see God rightly, who are willing to say 1000 ‘no’s to the world for the 1 ‘yes’ to God, who will not be preoccupied by what our own dreams are, but stop to consider what God’s dreams are - not just for us but our families, our friends, our community, our society - and make space in our hearts to carry and partner with Him to fulfil those dreams.…
