Our Church

Heartlands Ministry – For our desire to reach more with the Gospel, pray for this space and ministry to be used in a way that allows others to explore about God and Jesus through stories in the Bible each week. Pray also for more members to extend this invitation and come together with non-believing family, colleagues or friends.

Our Denomination 

Helping Sister Churches – As mentioned in today’s Word in Season, the BPCIS churches have started discussions and put forward proposals on how to look out for one another in a more sustained way. Some are providing financial assistance, others have opened up their venue for use, and perhaps most significantly, some are prepared to send leaders and members over to reinforce those that are smaller, newer or presently struggling. We sincerely thank God for this development and deeper partnership. May God indeed strengthen our love for and unity with one another! 

Our World

MENA team – Last week, from 21 to 22 Mar, the team was able to run a retreat for over 60 staff of an NGO in a nation that was recently at war. Thank God for a good time of rest and restoration for the staff as they continue to serve vulnerable communities through their work. Pray for a church the team visited to have the wisdom to decide whether it is safe to go visit their team in a war-torn region to help with their request for trauma counselling in the next 2 weeks.

Bangladesh – (Joshua Project) Bangladesh has a population of 174 million and 98.9% of its population are unreached, with only 0.42% Christians. While Singapore is home to many of these foreign workers, pray for a spiritual breakthrough amongst the Bangladeshi foreign workers working here as well as for the harvest work in Bangladesh. 
Pray too for the small number of local Christians to remain firm in their trust in Jesus amid challenges due to their faith and at the same time be God’s light for their non-believer friends. 

Ps Zhiwen is preaching at Glad Tidings Church this morning.

By Ps Vernon Quek

Last weekend, we heard in Romans Chapter 4 the wonderful truth that Abraham’s faith was what God counted to him as righteousness – and that this was Good News not just for Abraham, ‘but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations” (Romans 4:16-17).

How amazing that millennia later, we 21^st century believers in Singapore can count ourselves as righteous in the same way: by our faith in our Saviour King Jesus! 

Have you been wondering and reflecting more on this over the past week? I have. I’ve found myself asking a specific question: what exactly does the defining trait of Abraham’s family – the faith that all of his offspring share with him – look like in my life?

I wonder if you would be able to answer that question for yourself? Are there any particular ways that you know you have ‘in hope believed against hope’ in your life recently? If you can think of any or even many, then let these be a source of thankfulness to God. If not, perhaps a time of reflection and prayer is required.

How about corporately as a local church? How would you say this generation of Zion Bishan reflects our defining family trait? What would you say are clear indicators that we are a people of unwavering faith in our Righteous and Life-giving Creator God?

The Zion Bishan family has the great blessing of being able to look back through our relatively short 30-year history and see many examples of faithfulness in past generations. From the pioneer generation who left the comfort of an established church to join the new plant facing many uncertainties, to those who more recently generously gave funds and time and energy to the Redevelopment Project, and most recently the Land Lease Renewal – we have many stories of faith to tell in our community.

But it’s not only in these more visible ways that faith can been seen. Faith examples of equal and sometimes even greater measure can be seen in many other ways if we have the eyes to look for them. The faithfulness of many who have been quietly giving of themselves to encourage the faith of others – some for years or even decades – should be equally acknowledged and treasured amongst us.

Do you know of any such faith examples whom we might not have shown enough appreciation for? Why not reach out to thank and encourage them this coming week? Why not share their stories with the rest of us that we too might be encouraged to be faithful as well?

How about in the coming years? How will the future generations of Zion Bishan look back to this generation and remember us? As the song goes: ‘Oh, may all who come behind us find us faithful’. May the Lord work powerfully through His Spirit to grow us to be a generation who knows and loves the Gospel of our Righteous God, that no unbelief will make us waver concerning all of His promises in Christ!
