We are thankful to God for bringing Rev. Dr. Tow Siang Hwa, our pastoral advisor, to minister God’s Word to us and to conduct the Lord’s Supper last Lord’s Day. He spoke from Psalm 139 on how we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God, debunking the theory of evolution. We are thankful to God for His truth faithfully expounded from the King James Bible. It was indeed a happy occasion when we took a group photograph to remember this day.

This word “charity” describes the outworking of God’s love in the life of a believer. This love is both unconditional and sacrificial as exemplified by Jesus’ life. The Bible tells us in 1 Timothy 2:5-6 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all”. This word “charity” has a definite article attached to it in the Greek text. The definite article attached to this love describes the specific characteristic or identity of such a love. Greek grammar tells us that this definite article serves to point out, to draw attention to, to identify, to make definite, and to define the character of this “agape” type of love.

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week came Mary Magdalene…The scene opens before us at the end of the Sabbath. The Jewish Sabbath is our Saturday. The Jewish day starts at 6am and ends at 6am the next day. The end of the Sabbath is some time at dawn before day breaks on our Sunday. Friday was the first day of Jesus’ death. Saturday was the second day. This is the dawning of the third day, the day of resurrection. Mary Magdalene – who is she? A simple woman folk from Galilee! Why is she special?
