Joyous Communal Growth

By Pr Ho Wei Liang “And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for…

A New Creation in Christ

By Dr Dominic Kuek “We are a new creation in Christ.” It is perhaps one of the most extraordinary statements a Christian can utter.

The Meaning and Blessings of Our Baptism

By Rev Dr Edward Goh In Ephesians 1:18-20, Paul prays for the eyes of our hearts to be enlightened to see the greatness of God’s power at work within us, the same power that raised Christ from the dead. Paul explains in Ephesians 2:5-6 that this is the same power that raised us from our spiritual death and seated us with Christ in the heavenly places. How did all this…
