Tribute to Mothers and Grandmothers

2 Timothy 1:5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

When the Apostle Paul saw the faithfulness of his spiritual son Timothy, to the Lord Jesus Christ and His cause, he attributed it to the patient devotion and training given by his mother Eunice and grandmother Lois.

Both mother and grandmother demonstrated genuine, unpretentious and sincere faith in the things of God. They painstakingly taught Timothy.

2 Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

The influence of a godly mother and grandmother bore fruit in Timothy’s life.

(1) How Amiable Are Thy Tabernacles

Psalm 84 speaks of the blessedness of the man (v4, 5, 12) who dwells with God in His house. It is a meditation that brings great joy and peace to the heart.

(a) God’s House (v 1-4)

1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! 2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. 3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God. 4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

God’s house is described as lovely (v1). It satisfies the soul (v2). It is also a place of rest (v3), a place of blessing (v4a) and a place of thanksgiving (v4b).

Easter Sunrise Service

The most significant day in human history is the day when Jesus Christ, the Son of God, rose from the dead. Harold W. Hoehner in his book “Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ”, gave the date to be 5 April A.D. 33. On that glorious morning, death is conquered, hell is vanquished, and heaven won!

All who confess with their mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in their heart that God has raised Him from the dead shall be saved. Saved from the judgment of hell fire and be given eternal life in heaven. This is the gospel or good news of peace and glad tidings that we proclaim with great rejoicing to a world without hope.

The late Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones articulated it well, “There can be no more urgent question at this present time than just this: What is Christianity? I say that because this gospel is the only hope in the world today. Everything else has been tried and found wanting. Everything else has failed. You will not find hope with the philosophers or with the statesmen, and you will not find it in the so-called religion of the world. Here is hope, and here alone.”

ORDER OF WORSHIP

16 April 2017

Speaker: Rev Lek Aik Wee

Worship Leader: Rev Lek Aik Wee

The LORD is in His Holy Temple*

CALL TO WORSHIP:

Psalm 145:1-5 David’s Psalm of praise. I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?

Matthew 27:45-49 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Does God abandon His children? In life, there are times when God allows us to go through such heavy afflictions we feel as if God has abandoned us. When the burden becomes so heavy, so real and painful, a sense of abandonment can come upon us and cause us to struggle to keep our faith and trust God.

But God is faithful. He will not abandon His children. When He saves us, we are saved and “safe” and “secured” for all eternity.

The Scripture tells us that Jesus Christ secured our salvation when He took upon Himself the full weight of all our sins on the cross. When Jesus Christ went to the cross, He was our sin bearer. “Him who knew no sin, God hath made to be sin for us.”

(1) The Old Rugged Cross

“The Old Rugged Cross” is the most frequently requested hymn. Songbook editors have designated it as the most popular of all hymns. Within thirty years of its publication in 1913, more than twenty million copies had been sold.

“The Old Rugged Cross” declares in simple and yet sublime words the central truth of the gospel, and it speaks to the need of every believer.

Bringing Up Children God’s Way (Part 2)

Deuteronomy 6:6-7, And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Parents are encouraged to set priority to dwell on God’s Word with the family. The basis of our authority and instruction must be the Bible. Are you building your home on God’s eternal Word, the Holy Bible? Is it the most read book in your home?

The father, being the head of the family, must be the chief instructor of the values and principles of the Bible through godly example, planned family worship times and applying God’s Word to everyday situation.

Bringing Up Children God’s Way

The Bible tells us that children are a heritage of the LORD and the gift of the womb is His reward (Psalm 127:3). It is indeed God’s blessing when children are added to the family. How can parents fulfil their role as godly parents, and to train their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord?

Moses gave these words of advice in Deuteronomy 6:6-7, And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Parents are to firstly, secure their hearts in the Lord (v6) and secondly, to shepherd their children’s heart (v7). A prepared heart is needed (v6) and the work of bringing up children must be done purposefully, patiently and prayerfully.

Our Christian Testimony at Home

The Christian testimony is proof of the power of God unto salvation through the gospel of Christ. The Christian testimony in the home is the surest proof of the Christian profession. In the home, where a person is most at ease, relaxed and free, we can see what conduct is natural to him. If his conduct is holy, spiritual and heavenly, he is indeed consistent in his profession; there is no cause to doubt his profession. But if his testimony shows no evidence of spiritual life, living faithlessly and in the flesh, there is indeed cause for alarm.
