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!

Welcome to a brand new year! We thank God for seeing us safely through another year. I am sure you have many things to thank and praise God for. It could be for your health, your family, your achievements or perhaps your setbacks. Nevertheless, we can all agree that it...
This morning, many of us will stand before God to dedicate ourselves to serve in certain ministries. We will promise before the congregation and God that we will serve Him faithfully. But why do you want to serve God? Do we serve because it is enjoyable? Yes, serving God brings...
In a just a few days, the year 2014 will be over forever. A full year of 365 days has gone by. These 365 days are like 365 pieces of gold bars. No, each day is far more precious than a gold bar because each day is a day of...
