Advent Calendar

This Advent season, we've prepared an Advent calendar to help prepare us for the birth of Jesus, in whom God's plans and purposes are fulfilled. 

Studying Christ in Handel's Messiah

Studying Christ in Handel's Messiah

“Hallelujah!” means praise — and for most Christians raised in the Western tradition, is associated with George Frideric Handel’s “Halleuljah Chorus” in his composition, “Messiah”, a common Christmas-time favourite.

But why exactly do we sing “Hallelujah” about Christ?

Carrying Out Gospel-infused Conversations (Part 2)

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!

Carrying Out Gospel-infused Conversations (Part 1)

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.

Toys-R-Us Kid: Prolonged adolescence

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. 

Crippled by Milestones: Fear of Big Decisions

Crippled by Milestones: Fear of Big Decisions

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.

The Facebook Effect: Self-pity

The Facebook Effect: Self-pity

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.

Jude: Contend for the Faith

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!
