Maundy Thursday 2025 Sermon on the Holy Communion
•
Recounting the Blessings (John 13:1–17, 31b–35)
On Maundy Thursday, Rev Dr William Chang reminded us to rejoice in His blood—Christ, our perfect sacrificial Lamb. Like the first Passover, His blood saves us from judgement and frees us from slavery to sin. As we take Holy Communion, remember His love, reflect deeply, and renew your commitment to God.

The Power of Hope (Romans 15:4–7, 12–13)
34:58|This week, Rev Dr William Chang reminded us in Advent that our God is the God of hope, who fills us with joy and peace as we trust in Christ. Through Scripture, the Spirit sustains our confidence in His promises and calls us into harmony and reconciliation. Will you abound in hope—welcoming others as Christ welcomed you, amid suffering?
Teach Us To Pray (Matthew 6:9-13)
48:59|This week, we learned that Jesus teaches us to pray by drawing us back to God as our loving Father. Prayer is not about formulas but trusting His promises and seeking His will. We come with honesty, repentance, and dependence, knowing the Spirit helps us in our weakness. In trials and temptations, God invites us to ask, seek, and knock, confident that He hears. Stand firm in His Word and grow in faithful, daily communion with Him.
The Paradox of Christ The King (Luke 23:33–43)
32:17|This week, Rev Dr William Chang marked the last Sunday before Advent, pointing us to the hope of eternal life as citizens of His kingdom. Christ’s kingship is paradox: His throne is His cross; His power is His forgiveness and presence. Will you reflect and check your spiritual ‘GPS’, repent wrong turns, and spend unhurried, quality time in Word and prayer—following Him?
The Time Will Come (Luke 21:5–19)
28:07|This week, Rev Lim Kim Hock taught that the God of the living calls us to endure. Do not obsess over earthly things; do not be deceived by false teachers; do not fear—the Spirit will guide us. Buried with Christ in baptism, we will be raised to eternal life. Stand firm, hold fast to Scripture, put on the full armour of God, and give yourself to the Lord’s work today.
The God Of The Living (Luke 20:27–28)
31:05|This week, Preacher Allan Ng proclaimed that God is not the God of the dead but of the living. Jesus silenced the Sadducees and spoke to our heart’s trouble, where sin creates distance and despair. In the risen Christ, the grave is not the last word. Will you lean into resurrection hope and live today as one alive to Him?
Strong Identity & Maintenance of Restoration (Nehemiah 13:1–31)
35:34|This week, Rev Dr William Chang taught that restoration isn’t one-off; it demands vigilance, discipline, and a strong identity in Christ. Returning to Jerusalem, Nehemiah exposed backsliding—Sabbath neglect, mixed marriages, and forsaken Levites. The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9–13) maps our identity: children of the Father, set apart, Kingdom-first, obedient, dependent, grace-shaped, and guarded. Will you realign your identity in prayerful obedience today?
A Call to Covenant Renewal (Nehemiah 9:1–38)
31:30|This week, Preacher Allan Ng taught that rebuilding physical walls is half the battle; God rebuilds spiritual walls by His Word. In Nehemiah 9 people fasted in corporate confession—remembering God’s faithfulness, admitting failures, and renewing covenant obedience. True repentance looks back at His mercy and forward in obedience. What covenants—or areas of life—is God calling you to renew with Him?
The Walls are Up... Now What? (Nehemiah 8:1–18)
35:21|This week, Rev Dr William Chang showed how Nehemiah 8 spotlights the Law’s relevance as the people asked for the Book, reverence for the Law and its Giver as they stood and worshipped, and response to the Law in repentance, joy, and obedience. Our inner wall — our relationship with the Lord — must be rebuilt with the Word of God. How does God’s Word function in your life — will you hear it, trust and obey it, and know Him more deeply today?
Finishing Strong, Remembering Why (Nehemiah 6:1–16)
31:58|This week, Preacher Allan Ng taught that amid opposition and exhaustion we stay focused on God’s call. When distraction, slander, intimidation came, Nehemiah prayed and stood firm: “I am doing a great work, and I cannot come down.” The wall was finished in 52 days. Will we resist distraction, remember why we build, and persevere to finish for God’s glory?
