Blessed 5th Anniversary Thanksgiving (2)

Thank God for BHBPC’s 5thAnniversary Thanksgiving Service held on 27 January 2019. The theme “Launch Out into the Deep” (Luke 5:1-11) illustrate the work of the church as firstly a Ministry of the Word of God (v1-3). Secondly, it is a Ministry Supported by the Power of God (v4-9). Thirdly, a Ministry Requiring Wholehearted Consecration to God (v10-11). The early disciples were called by our Lord to be fishers of men. This is a ministry supported by the power of God.

Blessed 5thAnniversary Thanksgiving

Launch Out into the Deep (Luke 5:1-11) was the title of our 5thAnniversary Thanksgiving Message. It was a call by Jesus to His disciples, to experience the sufficiency of His care in their lives as they commit themselves whole-heartedly to His leading. A fitting message to His church, a people called out from the world, whom Christ leads, as the Commander-in-Chief. You will have no lack. You will experience the sufficiency and His surpassing power, as you bear His Name, as members of the household of God, to a dying world that do not know Him and is often hostile to His good news of salvation, marching headlong to a Christ-less, fearsome eternity.

It was 7 years ago when we first began bible study on the 2ndfloor of this rented premises of The Salvation Army on Wednesday at 11 am. The year was January 2012. This was a group of elderly folks who have been meeting together for weekly Bible Study since 2007. It started from a visitation to the home of Mr Tan Kwi Hwa after his knee operation. He felt a desire for regular Bible Study and therefore opened his home. The group adopted Jeremiah 33:3 as a guiding verse, Jeremiah 33:3 “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”

Five Good Years

Psalm 136:3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Thank God for granting Blessed Hope Bible-Presbyterian Church (BHBPC) five good years in His vineyard. Truly, we have experienced the sustaining grace of God leading us through the days of each passing year. We can look back and acknowledge that the LORD has helped us and He was there with us each step of the way.

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ is the theme from which BHBPC got her name. It was in January 2012 when we first started renting the Booth Tucker Room for weekly Bible study every Wednesday from 11am-12.30pm.

BHBPC’s first prayer meeting was held in the Praise Chapel on 15 August 2013 on a Thursday night at 8pm. The Lord moved twelve to come for the inaugural prayer meeting – Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. (Jeremiah 33:3). The message was “The Work of Soul Winning” (Matthew 9:35-38).

Prayer for the New Year

Philippians 1:9-11.9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; 10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; 11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

As we begin the New Year, it is fitting that we consider how we can live it profitably and usefully before life loses its strength and we sit in regret of a wasted life.

The Apostle Paul writes with great affection concerning the spiritual well-being of the church in Philippi. How do you express concern for someone you love? The Apostle sets for us the example, he prays for them. And you will notice that his prayer for them expresses Christ’s heart for the well-being of the believer. He exhorts the church in 1 Corinthians 11:1Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. (1 Cor. 11:1 KJV)It is a prayer we can adopt for ourselves in our prayer for others. Also, this prayer gives the spiritual qualities that may be manifested in our lives that mark the milestones in our spiritual progress.

Family Day 2018

Thank God for a blessed Family Day on 25 December at the Amara Sanctuary Resort Hotel in Sentosa. The Lord gave us good weather and safety on that day for all participants. All praise and glory to God.

The theme of our messages “… And There Jesus Prayed” was taken from Mark 1:35 “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.”

It is a spiritual exercise each time God’s people wrestle against often great odds to be able to gather together to study His Word and pray. This is where we can make progress in our spiritual life when we take time to meditate upon the Scriptures and pray.

Our Lord took time to be alone so that He can commune with the Father in heaven. Jesus sets for us the example. Therein, we find strength for life.

Sharing the Joy of the Saviour’s Birth

In the frenzy of parties and shopping in this month of December, let us not forget this is the time when we remember our Saviour’s birth. 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 that is not only physical death but also eternal judgment in the lake of fire.

At Christmas, we remember the birth of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. He, alone, can save us from our sins. This is the good news that the angels announced to the humble shepherds tending their sheep in the field in Bethlehem that night. This was the joy that was announced to the world.

“Fear not, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:10-11).
