Last week we welcomed a guest preacher, Ps Gideon Lim. We were exhorted to reflect on the reality of God’s love for us, as beautifully expressed in 1 John 4:7–21. We learned that God’s love is most clearly shown in Jesus. Because he bore our sins on the cross, we need not be afraid of …
Yesterday, we sang these words in worship. As we ended our series “A City Restored”, we saw how the book of Nehemiah ends with failure. Nehemiah alone remains faithful, and we see the failure to restore Israel and the failure to renew God’s covenant. Kyle pointed out to us that the books of Ezra and …
On Sunday we looked together at what it means to live as God’s covenant people, in response to God’s faithfulness — based on Nehemiah 10–13:1–3.

In Nehemiah 9:1-37, we saw the Israelites confessing of their unfaithfulness to God, their tendency to stray and disobey God even after He delivers them time and time again.

This past Sunday, we looked at Nehemiah 3-6 in our "A City Restored" series and we focused on the theme of perseverance that is seen in these chapters. We were reminded that as Christians, we are to live out our mission to bring God's saving message to all people. This mission is always meant to …
"I'm sorry, God."As fallen beings, we apologize to God a lot for when we do sin. Yesterday, Kyle took us through Ezra 9-10, where we saw how Ezra modelled true repentance. True repentance requires more than an apology; we need to mourn over the depths of our sin and how it has corrupted our soul …
We continue in our series A City Restored through Ezra Nehemiah. This week, Chris Abner, one of our elders preached from Ezra 7-8. We looked at how God's hand guided His people to restoration in the place of promise. We were also challenged through Ezra in the passage to study God's Word, obey it and …
Serving God rarely seems to be easy. Some form of resistance can frustrate even the most pious of saints. This is what we studied together today in Ezra 3-6 yesterday. We looked at how the post-exilic Israelites, when faced with strong opposition and fear, steadfastly oriented their lives around worship and giving offering to God. …
In this first of the “A City Restored” series, Kyle preached on how God stirred the hearts of people to restore the city, and how the people in turn looked forward to their restored future in light of God’s faithfulness in their past.
