On the Seventh Sunday of Easter, Brother Lim Geok Seng showed that Jesus’ “hour” of the cross is His glory, where God’s saving purpose is fulfilled. Eternal life is God’s gift—an intimate and growing relationship with the Father through the Son. As Jesus glorified the Father by completing His work, so our obedience and daily calling become acts of worship. Lord Jesus, draw us to know You more, that our lives may glorify You in all we do.

On the Sixth Sunday of Easter, Reverend Dr William Chang reminded us that while our sinful hearts resist loving God and others, the Holy Spirit—the Parakletos—comes alongside to help us. He convicts, renews, and leads us into obedience, making God’s presence real within us. Lord, shape our hearts by Your Spirit, that we may grow in love, obedience, and deeper intimacy with You.

On the Fifth Sunday of Easter, Preacher Allan Ng showed how troubled hearts, like loose rubble, struggle to trust and find rest apart from Christ. With no way to the Father on our own, Jesus comes as the Way—opening the path home through His cross and making us living stones built upon Him. Lord Jesus, steady our hearts by Your promise, that we may rest in You and live as Your people in a fearful world.

On Good Shepherd Sunday, Preacher Allan Ng showed that we often open the wrong doors and resist the Shepherd’s voice, leaving us lost outside God’s fold. Yet Christ, the Door, has opened the way through His cross, restoring us to God. Lord Jesus, lead us by Your voice into true life, that we may trust You and live in Your abundant grace.

On the Third Sunday of Easter, Bishop Anthony Loh reminded us that our new identity in Christ calls us to walk (peripateō) in daily dependence on God, united as one body. Our personal faith is inseparable from our corporate life, as we reflect Christ through humility, gentleness, love, and makrothumia—a patient, long-suffering spirit. Lord, help us walk worthy of Your calling, maintaining unity and becoming a channel of Your blessings to others.

On the Second Sunday of Easter, Preacher Allan Ng showed that our deepest trouble is not fear alone, but unbelieving hearts estranged from God. Yet the risen Christ enters our locked rooms, speaks peace through His wounds, reassures doubting hearts, and sends us out with living hope. Lord Jesus, keep us in Your wounded and risen peace, and make us bold to confess, “My Lord and my God.”

On Easter Sunday, Brother Lim Geok Seng showed that the risen Christ brings us into a new relationship with God as our Father, grows our faith through doubt with His patient compassion, and calls us into His mission. Mary and the disciples came to recognise the risen Christ as He met them in their doubts and revealed Himself to them personally. Lord, draw us closer to You, deepen our faith, and send us back into our calling to go and tell of Your risen life.

Dear brothers and sisters, today is Good Friday. May the Holy Spirit lead us beyond time and space, as if we are witnessing with our own eyes Jesus Christ being crucified for us—giving His life, bearing our sins, and accomplishing our salvation.Let us reflect on the meaning of the cross from different perspectives, and seek to understand its significance in our daily lives, so that we may more deeply know the immeasurable love and grace of our Lord—far beyond what we can imagine.
