God has made us all different, and has placed us in different places but for one purpose -- to bring the good news of Jesus to people wherever we are. In this blog post, we speak with Matthew Seah, who has just completed National Service. He reflects on lessons learnt about talking to his peers about God in his years as a student and a soldier. We hope that this encourages you to do the same with your friends and platoon mates wherever you are!
Work is such a big part of life and Christians often talk about sharing the gospel in the workplace, or trying to reach out to the friends and colleagues, but how? How can we begin some of these conversations? Today we speak with Kiyoko, who shares with us how she has tried to have gospel conversations with friends and colleagues.
Who are the people that God uses? In Acts 4, we realise that the early disciples were fishermen! Yet they spoke with a surprising clarity. What can we learn from this?
How do we follow Jesus in the mundane things in life? In this new blog series, we'll explore how we can be disciples every day and fight for obedience in faith in the seemingly small things. We'll begin with reflecting on Paul's words to young Timothy.
In Judges 6:11-40, the life of Gideon shows us a man who was too fearful to stand up when God called upon him to do His will. Repeatedly, God had to show him His power, and redefine him by His grace. Grace makes us grow up.
We live in a highly connected world but despite all the social media, this generation seems to be lonelier than ever. Articles have been written on this issue, but what does the Bible say about this?
Making decisions is hard for many of us, and for many Christians, we talk about "praying about it" but what does it really mean? How can we move forward? David, the great king David, could have some wise words for us.
In 1 Kings 19:1-18, we see the prime example of a man wallowing in self-pity. God’s response to the man is a tender one. He helps Elijah to recuperate, and restores him for ministry. Likewise, grace soothes and tenderly restores us wherever it finds us, but it never leaves us where we were.
There's no non-awkward to say this: do you struggle with awkwardness? Beyond our personalities and natural dispositions, how can we as Christians overcome the awkwardness that stands in the way of our relationship and gospel mission?
The Epistles typically introduce us to dangers that loomed large for the recipient church. They are complete with warnings, solutions, and exhortations. Jude is no different as it introduces us to a real and present danger that plagues the church. What does this have to do with you and me? Read on to find out!
Ecclesiastes has been a story of circles. Not that it is meaninglessly repetitive, but that it shows us the lessons gleaned from Qoheleth’s continual - and almost cyclical - searches for meaning. By the time we get to chapter 11, we’ve learnt a few essential things about life under the sun, and life above the sun. We long for life above the sun, but we can’t reach it on our own. It has to come down to us. Ecclesiastes tells us that God is above the sun, and it tells us that the great limit of lives below the sun is death - inescapable, inevitable death that teaches us wisdom if we consider it rightly. In this closing segment, Qoheleth tells us a few more things about how we should live our lives. Read on to find out more!
The Bible is not just a book, but its contents interact with and has an impact on real life! We often go to the Bible with many questions, yet forget the questions the Bible asks us in return. It is important that we find our story within the drama of Scripture. The question of the day that Qoheleth answers in this passage relates to death and what it entails. What exactly is death? What does it lead to? What does it do for us? Read on to find out more!
