Dear BPCWA worshipper, In the first 2 messages from the morning devotion, we learned about the necessity of evangelism and the avenues of evangelism. Constrained by the love of Christ, evangelism is a duty for all Christians. However, we must also be careful not to adopt the world’s ways when we evangelise. Today, we will consider the remaining 2 messages on evangelism. #3 The Ways to Gain Some in Evangelism. We must learn from Paul not only the avenues in evangelism, but also the attitude to adopt. 1) Humility. Paul said, “For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.” (1Co 9:19). Paul was free and hence

Dear BPCWA worshipper, We thank God for safety we experienced while travelling up to the Family Camp amidst heavy rain predicted that day. Thank God for the opportunity to meet in person this year and for removing obstacles for us. But we thank God most of all for blessing us through His Word at the camp. As is my practice, I will spend the next few weeks summarising the messages so that all of us can revise and reinforce the key lessons together. This year, I requested Preacher Joshua Yong to preach at our Morning Devotions messages about Evangelism, from 1 Corinthians 9:16-23. This is an important matter for every Christian. We watched these pre-recorded video sermons during our camp.

Dear BPCWA worshipper, A question was asked at the end of the previous presentation regarding the risk if anything should happen to the builder we had shortlisted. At that point in time, we simply continued to pray as we always had done, that God would lead and make His will clear.

This was truly a testimony to the fact that we serve the living God who hears prayers and watches over His church. The most recent update conducted on 15 June was to provide worshippers with the project progress after that. It is important that we

Dear BPCWA worshipper, In our first pastoral of this series, we saw that the church must feed her worshippers as God intended, “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood” (Acts 20:28).  A Bible college is not a church. It must not perform this aspect on the church’s behalf. God’s purpose is for worshippers to learn through their local church. When the Bible college and/or the church lose their primary focus and mission, it is a lose-lose situation for both. Bible colleges focus on training those called into full-time ministry so that pastors and
