Our Church

Christianity Explored (CE)– We are now halfway through the course and we thank God for the 5 seekers who have been coming, engaging with all that is shared, and the good conversations we have been having. Pray that they will continue to come for the remaining 3 weeks, and for soft and tender hearts as they continue to hear and learn about Jesus in Mark’s Gospel. May each one of them be taking steps closer to Him in faith.

Our People

Pray for Mdm Seet Soo Huay, mother of Benny Ling, as she undergoes treatment for b-cell lymphoma. Pray for her healing, and for the regaining of her strength to be discharged from hospital. Pray that her eyes remain fixed on her Lord Jesus, and for God’s peace to guard her and her family.

College Students – Let us remember some of our members who are in full-time theological college – Joel Khoo, Darrell, E & N. May the Lord continue to nourish them with His word and through the fellowship of the saints in their various communities. May they continue to grow in knowledge of the Son, their joy in Him and their godliness in their homes and ministries!

Our World

Nepal – Last Thursday, Brother W and Sister A left for 2 weeks on a 2-week trip on track C, to help our mission partners, who have a residential English boarding school in the area of training on how to manage children with special needs.
This coming Thursday, another couple, will be going, on track A, to meet and explore opportunities to come alongside brothers and sisters reaching out to Tibetan ethnic background peoples in certain regions of Nepal. Pray for protection as they travel by air or by road and also good health for all that God has laid on their hearts to do. May God bless the connections made so that his truth, love and peace will reach these communities.

1. Congratulations to Kenneth & Cynthia on the arrival of their firstborn son, Kieran Thio, on 10th Oct 2026!
2. Ps Dev is preaching at Emmanuel BP this morning.
3. Ps Zhiwen is preaching at Trinity Methodist Church this weekend.

   – Brother Tan Boon Ngee, on the Homegoing of his mother, Mrs Tan-Kow Jit Ngo (Mandarin Congregation), aged 91, on 16 October 2026. Please uphold the bereaved family in prayer.

By Ps Dev Menon

A couple of days ago I was sitting amidst several tables of religious leaders from various other faith groups in Singapore. It was a dinner organised by our neighbour, the Harmony Centre, to celebrate their 20^th Anniversary (you may have read about it on the news).

This wasn’t the ‘seasoned’ table of those who regularly attended such things like Ps Zhiwen or Ps David Wong (as BPCIS GenSec) – but mostly ‘newbies’. So naturally we were curious and enquired about each other’s religious practices.

It dawned on me that most only have ‘services’ that worshippers (usually not even the same people) attend from time to time. But Christianity was one of the few that had a designated and regular faith community – this thing we call ‘church’.

Indeed church is one of the greatest gifts given to us by our Father in heaven, established through the conquering work of our Lord Jesus Christ. A real means of grace where we can speak God’s Word to one another, share tangible expressions of God’s love, and remind one another of our Spirit-guaranteed inheritance.

Most of us who grow up in church don’t realise this privilege – perhaps we only focus on the problems. And perhaps there are leaders who instead of offering it as a means of grace make it more of a work-based thing or even a guilt-trip. And of course there are many of us who have been hurt by individuals in church (actually, it’s probably all of us).

Nevertheless, like our flesh-family (or better than the flesh-family I should say), it is a real blessing given to us and we don’t thank God enough for it or leverage it for all its worth.

As one of my favourite authors, Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said:

“If we do not thank God daily for the Christian fellowship in which we have been placed, even where there is no great experience, no discoverable riches, but much weakness, small faith, and difficulty; if on the contrary we only keep complaining to God that everything is so paltry and petty… then we hinder God from letting our fellowship grow.”

May we ponder this as we approach our ZB 32^nd Anniversary on 31^st Oct 4.30pm.

Don’t forget to sign up! It will be a simple service with songs, testimonies and prayer. A simple buffet dinner will be served outside at the fellowship hall (free seating only!).
