The Lord Is My Keeper
“May the Lord bless you and keep you”, the familiar Aaronic Blessing in Numbers 6:24-26, is considered one of the most beautiful blessings in the Bible, and perhaps the most widely-used benediction.
The word ‘keep’ is translated as ‘shamar’ in Hebrew, and found in Genesis 3:14 where the Lord sets a ‘guard’, a cherubim and a flaming sword, at the entrance of Eden to protect the Tree of Life. It communicates the idea that God is keeping, caring for, and protecting His children.
Psalm 121 ends with an echo of the Aaronic Blessing and, in particular, God keeping His people. ‘The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.’ Psalm 121:7-8

Sermon Title: Follow the Cloud of His Glory
Date: 14 & 15 May 2022
Time: Sat 5pm / Sun 10.15am
Speaker: Ps. Yang Tuck Yoong
Over the past 35 years of marriage, my family and I have shifted a total of 9 times. Each time we settle into our new place and unpack, there’s always this sense of hope: “Lord, I sure hope that this will be the last time we’re going to do this.” And not too long later, we’re on the move again. I think this continual dislocation is part of my lot in life and I think it’s designed to teach me that the only thing constant in this life is change. Don’t settle down. We’re not settlers, but pilgrims on a journey. Keep following the cloud of His Glory!

Sermon Title: Of Betrayal and Providence
Date: 15 May 2022
Time: Sun 11.45am
Speaker: Asst. Ps. Elijah Chan
In 2 Samuel 15-17, we see how God’s hand was seen in one of the darkest periods in David’s life. His providence is often fulfilled in unexpected ways and through seemingly insignificant people. As disciples of Christ, we can rest on the promise that nothing, not even our weaknesses, can thwart God’s purposes for those He loves. If He has promised, He will make it good. And those who are recipients of God’s forgiveness and mercies can too be merciful to others.

Sermon Title: When Discontent Brews
Date: 15 May 2022
Time: Sun 9.30am / 11am
Speaker: Ps. Lim Lip Yong
Discontent isn’t something foreign to us. If we’re to be honest, discontent can be found in every single person. When a decision is made that does not favour us, when we feel overlooked, underappreciated, passed over for a promotion, or when our expectations are left unmet. The rebellion of Korah in Numbers 16 takes us on a deep dive into what happens when discontent is left to brew. At the same time, the antidote to discontent is subtly prescribed to us between the lines of the drama that unfolded.
