Pastoral Letters are weekly communications from our church pastor to the congregation. They are mostly original reflections on the Word of God in response to church events or current affairs, local or beyond, with the primary intent to exhort Christians to live rightly before God in the real world. Short bibliographies are sometimes featured towards the same end.
We pray that these writings will be a great blessing to you!

Every National Day is a time of celebration. The fact that people can live and grow on this small island in peace and prosperity is already a great achievement. One should not take this for granted as without the resilience and courage that our forefathers demonstrated in the course of...
“At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, ‘Ask for whatever you want me to give you’ . . . ‘Now, Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little...
