Hospitality begins with me

My hospitable nature One new thing that I have learned about myself is that I’m a hospitable person to my friends. I didn’t realize I am until today’s session that I don’t have many boundaries when it comes to hosting friends in my house. Since I was young, I love to invite my friends to my house, be it a 2-room flat in Ang Mo Kio when I was seven or my current 4-room flat in Yishun. My earliest memories of me inviting my neighbours to my tiny 2-room flat was during Christmas period. It was our last Christmas in Ang Mo Kio before we shifted to Yishun. I pleaded with my mother to hold a mini-evangelistic party at my home and she was supposed to share the Christmas story because she was a Sunday School teacher. Haha. So my brother and I invited our neighbours, about six in total. We danced around the brightly lit Christmas tree with the Christmas carols playing loudly from the cassette recorder in the background. Then it was my mother’s turn to “preach and give the altar call”. I du

My Reflective New Testament Encounter

I love reading the Bible but I have to admit I tend to lean towards the OT at times due to the narrative and poetic genres it contained. To prepare for this module, I read the NT slowly, chewing and gnawing each book, and finally came to appreciate and love the NT just as how God would desire me to. Now, I would share my reflections on some of the things I have learnt through Bro Casey and Ps Eileen. Discipleship. We are called to make disciples and Jesus sets us the example of how we should do it. Jesus initiates and offers his hands. He is constantly on a lookout to find followers. He told tax collector, fishermen and men from various backgrounds, “Come, follow me.” I want to be like Jesus, someone who is not afraid of rejection because my motivation comes from God’s love and reconciliation. Jesus is approachable and personal. He even spoke Aramaic at times to be on common ground with the masses. I want to be approachable and personal to anyone who comes my way too. Thi

Pastoral Explorations

One practice I found useful: Partnership Paul started his ministry with Barnabas and then Silas. Throughout his different missionary journeys, he was usually with a partner-in-Christ. In the Pastoral Epistles, he was writing to his partners whom he called “true sons”. Timothy and Titus were his travelling partners to Crete and Ephesus. The power of partnership cannot be overlooked in our ministry. We are not called to be lone rangers. That’s the reason why we need friends and co-workers to come alongside with us when we serve God. Each of us has been given different gifts and talents to edify, encourage and comfort the believers and we can only be effective when we recognise we are a body of Christ. That’s how we can last long in the ministry too. I thank God for the different friends He has placed and positioned in my life to walk through life’s journey with me. As a Sanguine, I need friends and I function well in a team. Born and baptised in the same church, I’ve served in va
