THE PURPOSE OF RELATIONSHIPS

by Asst Ps Lai Keet Keong

 

Philippians 2:5, “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.”

 

How we relate with one another reflects what we believe about God. God is a relational God. He created us to be relational creatures who learn and reflect the true meaning of love, faith and hope through our relating with another.

 

The Apostle Paul exhorted believers in the Church in Philippi to have the mindset of Christ when they relate with fellow believers. The word “mindset”.........

COMMUNITY MATTERS

WELCOME

A warm welcome to all newcomers who are with us today. We would love to meet and get to know you. Please click here for us to connect with you.

CHURCH COUNCIL ELECTIONS (APRIL 2025 - MARCH 2027)

Election of the Church Council for 2025-2027 will be held on 18 and 19 January 2025.

 

Nomination of candidates for the elections will be opened from 26 October and will close on 10 November 2024. More details will be announced closer to the date.

 

Thank you for praying for our church leaders. Please commit the voting process to the Lord in prayer.

1A JUBILEE ROAD RETREAT STUDIO - OPEN FOR BOOKING

To facilitate an extended time of reflection, the church is opening the studio at 1A Jubilee Road to be booked for personal retreats.

 

While we may be familiar with retreats involving structured worship sessions, a speaker and discussions, a personal retreat is slightly different. It is a practice of setting aside time and space to focus on your relationship with God and how this relationship impacts your overall well-being.

 

The extended time spent isn’t necessarily about intense Bible study, but more about being intentionally present with the Lord.

 

The goal of retreat is to become a lover of God, to be loved by him, and to be open to the Spirit’s leading.

 

If you are interested, please click here and state your preference starting from 1 December 2024 to 28 February 2025.

 

There will be a recommended love gift to help cover the cleaning and use of the studio. For more information, please contact Tan Beng Hwee at benghwee@biblechurch.sg.

SERVE GOD IN OUR CHURCH COMMUNITY

Calling everyone who desires to grow in faith in the Lord and to put your commitment to Him in action! One of the ways you can do so is to serve in the church. Serving in the church also helps you when you serve God in your workplace or home. 

 

We are recruiting volunteers for 2025. We would like to encourage you to take a look at the various areas of opportunities in this link and to indicate the area(s) that you would like to volunteer for.

 

Want to know more before signing up? Come have a chat with staff members outside the sanctuary after each service this weekend (19/20 October) and next weekend (26/27 October). Alternatively, drop an email to Asst Ps Elaine Ng at elaine@biblechurch.sg.

UPCOMING EVENTS

CHURCH PRAYER MEETING
25 October 2024 (Friday)

8pm - 9.30pm

Joy Chapel (Level 2)

Prayer Leader: Snr Ps Beh Soo Yeong

 

A church without prayer is a church without power! Let us therefore come as one church to pray for our people and ministries, that more may experience Jesus as Saviour, Healer and Lord, and glorify His Name. If you’re feeling spiritually dry, if you have a burden for the church, if you are seeking the Lord for something in your life, come and pray with others like you. There will also be opportunity to receive prayer for wholeness from leaders.
