(1) Joy to the World

Christmas is the highest point of human history because it marks the fulfilment of God’s plan to save mankind from the curse of sin. Our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ alone can save us from our sins.

At our Christmas Praise Service, we rehearsed the great joy of our Saviour’s birth. The joy of Christmas begins with the joy of salvation. May we be strengthened to go out to share the good news to a dying world.

(2) Remembering God’s Goodness in 2014

(1) Whence Cometh Your Help? Part 3

Psalm 121:5-6 “The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.”

God is our omnipresent, omnipotent Protector. What a comforting thought. The word “shade” is the word for “shadow”. Shadows are never an image of sinister darkness in the Bible. Rather, in the heat of Palestine, shadows are pre-eminently an image of protection or refuge provided by the LORD.

Whence Cometh Your Help? Part 2

Psalm 121:3-4 “He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.”

Verses 3-4 teach us that God is our faithful protector. We can safely rely upon Him. Proverbs 3:23, “Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.” When we trust the LORD with all our hearts, His wisdom guides our footsteps. He is our valiant watchman.
