O Worship the LORD in the Beauty of Holiness

ANNIVERSARY 2024 - TESTIMONIES OF SALVATION

My life before I was saved was miserable and filled with unhappiness. At the start, I only followed my parents to church and didn’t think much of it. I enjoyed the stories and lessons but I did not really meditate upon the stories and just treated church as an every week thing. My life was just full of sins and I didn’t feel happy. I lied, judged others, and did many other things deemed evil in the eyes of God. When I looked at the other Christians in church, I always wondered how they are so happy and so eager to worship the Lord. 

Until one day in church, I understood why Jesus came down on earth to save us. I understood the immense love that Jesus has for us. This changed my perspective. The Holy Spirit touched my heart and I realise that Jesus was so merciful and I questioned myself for rejecting his grace and love for so long. Why was I denying Christ’s love when I have great news that there was a way for salvation to be saved and spend eternity with God? (Romans 5:8, But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.) This verse means that out of Jesus’s great love for us, despite the fact that we are sinners he still loves and died for us. This verse helped me understand that God’s love for us is infinite and he sacrificed his only Son for us. (John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.) This verse tells us about God’s plan for those who believe in him. This verse made me wonder, why I did not accept God’s calling to be saved. This beautiful salvation is right in front of me and the Holy Spirit touched my heart. I understood that I was an unworthy sinner, unworthy of God’s grace, love and mercy. 

After I accepted that only through Jesus I can have salvation and eternal life, there was a change in my life. I found myself being closer to God and not feeling miserable anymore. I feel more fulfilled and happier. I also found myself looking forward to church and the sermons being taught. My life after salvation, I feel my relationship with Jesus growing and becoming stronger. I feel happier because of my closer communion with God. (Romans 6:23, For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.)

– Claris Seow Huixian

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always known there was something beyond the everyday hustle and bustle of life, something that spoke to my soul in fleeting whispers that I could never quite discern. I grew up saying prayers, and hearing about God, but it all felt distant, like a distant echo of something shrouded in mystery and incomprehensibility. My life was filled with pursuits that promised satisfaction but left me with a void that nothing could fill, leaving me to feel like a dry, soulless husk, full of emptiness. 

About two years ago, my world started to unravel. I was overwhelmed by personal struggles that left me feeling hopeless and lost, like I was drowning in a sea of doubt and despair. Amid that darkness, I was desperate for a lifeline. That’s when I decided to reach out to a family member and asked if I could come to Life BP Church. Little did I know, this would be a turning point in my life.

It was there that I encountered the Word of God, I began to see Jesus not just as a historical figure, but as the one and only living, breathing Savior who loved me enough to lay down His life for me, an ungrateful sinner who deserved nothing but death. The weight of my sins, which I had carried for my entire life, was lifted as I realized that Jesus had already borne that burden on the cross for me. His love was fierce, relentless, and all-consuming. In a moment of clarity, I surrendered everything and my whole existence to Him—my past, my present, and my future. 

That night, I prayed with a desperation I had never felt before, asking Jesus to take control of my life, to wash me clean, and to fill me with His Spirit. And in that moment, a surge of peace flooded my heart—a love that was deeper and richer than anything I had ever known. It was as if the light of God’s love had pierced through the darkest corners of my soul, bringing me to life in a way I never thought possible. 

Today, my heart overflows with gratitude and awe at the blessings that God has given me. This baptism is my personal reminder that I am no longer who I used to be, for I have been made new in Christ; This is not just a symbol of my faith, but as a testament to the transformative power of God’s grace. I am proclaiming that I belong to God, that my life is now in His hands, and that I will follow Him wherever He leads, like a sheep following its shepherd. 

I know there will still be challenges ahead, but I face them with confidence, knowing that the Creator of the universe walks with me. My life now has a purpose far greater than I ever imagined, and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for me. To God be the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

– Elijah Chionh Cheng Xian

There’s no turning point I can turn to. No signs, no wonders. 

But one day after class, my wife said to me a simple statement which I felt is so true.

I am saved because GOD has mercy on me.

I am saved because Christ chose to die for me.

All these are by grace poured out unto me while I am bearish, silly, wilful, rebellious.

Jesus Christ is now increasingly precious to me.

– John Wong Chee Kong

Since young I have always been following my parents whenever they go to temples to pray. But I have always felt uncomfortable in the temples and I didn't exactly know why. My parents did not have a good impression of Christians because of an aunt who believes in forcing people to be baptised and be saved, which we know is not correct. It resulted in them being extra against anyone of their children to become a Christian, and we were explicitly warned against this multiple times growing up. 

I was sent to a Christian junior college and I remembered requesting for a transfer out by the third day, one due to the extremely long journey to school and second due to the excessively lengthy prayer sessions there were in the mornings and they did not make any sense to me. But the Lord indeed has predestined who He wants to save. I started reading up on all the different religions there are when I came out to work, and while I didn’t understand or feel compelled to even try to read the Bible for all my life, I decided to one day, and went to Exploring Christianity under the invitation of a friend. 

I remember a significant moment when one of my colleagues asked me what happened, as he knew me to be a very fiery-tempered person and somehow I seemed to have become a calm and much more even-tempered person. I shared with him vaguely that I started going to Church and wanted to be a better person. I now consciously tell myself, I am a Christian first, and everything else is a secondary representation of my identity. Because the Lord loves me, I want to be good and obey Him, though I still have a tendency to sin.

In my life, I was mostly surrounded by non-believers and I was always on the thought of believing that there is God but I was not able to choose which one to believe in. On my Mother’s side of the family were Christians, they would always invite us to their church but we seldom went. However, whenever I went I always had this excitement to learn more and I always was curious at the end of the service. In my teenage years I was normalizing sinful actions such as swearing over small things and cussing. My heart was made of stone where I would be trying to not care about people and I would be in the influence of the world. 

Later on, When I was 15 years old, I was introduced to God once again through social media. It is hard to believe but social media was a great impact to my life as it helped me grow my relationship with God. I began to learn more about God through videos that talks about the Bible. I slowly learned how to pray and it grew into an intimate relationship with God. As more days passed, I picked up the courage to tell my mom that I wanted to become a Christian. She heard me explain about why I wanted to be a Christian and she accepted my decision. My mother sent me a workshop about Exploring Christianity and so I signed up for it and went for the five sessions. It started to build my relationship with God and since there was a church opposite the building, I decided to try worshipping God. I found the experience to be intangible and renewing. 

I slowly began to pick up my Bible and started to read and understand the scriptures slowly. I always went into social media to get my daily scripture from there and to also research about meanings that I am unsure of in the Bible. My heart of stone was then replaced with a heart of flesh. I started to care for others and learned how to be consistent in reading the Bible and praying every day. Even though, I still face temptations and sins, I always remind myself that whatever problems that I am facing I can always go to God for help because I put my faith in God.

I grew up in a Buddhist family where we burn incense everyday as a way of praying. During my teenage years, I started to question if there is any god out there as I couldn’t understand why there are so many people suffering in this world and the ones who are cunning always get their way while the good ones seem to die early. I started to only believe in myself thereafter, yet I always found myself still hoping that there is a god that would answer our prayer. 

When I got to know my wife, she was a Buddhist, also brought up by strong Buddhist family.  Until the time when she faced a health issue during Covid time, she started to pray to Jesus, and I saw how her prayer was answered and no words other than miracle can describe what happened to her. 

Shortly after, in April 2022, I was diagnosed with cancer stage 4 and I was feeling worried, lost, sad and hopeless at the same time. I was afraid of dying, afraid of leaving all the loved ones behind. I started to follow my wife and prayed to Jesus. I realized my worries and fear were lifted away from me, suddenly I am not at a loss, and I don’t feel afraid anymore. What I felt is just peace and I am calm knowing I can put my fear and worries on Jesus. Every time I felt worried before a surgery or was feeling loss after a treatment, I started to pray, and I put my faith in Jesus and I would feel calm and be at peace. I have been doing the same since then, whenever I faced hardship, or I needed guidance from God I always pray and somehow, he will always answer my prayer by sending help through the people around.

– Lim Hoong Wei

I was born into a Christian family and grew up learning the word of God. The many years leading up to my salvation, I went to church without much purpose. I didn't really take in the word and kept sinning without much thought or any guilt. In my earlier years of going to primary school, I mostly followed what the others were doing and kept a deaf ear to anything I learnt in church. I did not pray to God on a regular basis as I felt that if God can control everything, there was no point in praying since He already knows what I want to say during the prayer. I did not care much about sinning and its consequences since the people around, who were non-Christian, sinned without much care. This was due to hearing stories of people who turn to Christ on their deathbed and who managed to live their whole life in sin. The only time I usually prayed to God was the day leading up to an exam. 

In the later part of 2022, during my PSLE year, the Sunday School told the class about LTF (Lively Teens Fellowship). They got us to attend one session of LTF to expose us to what they do and the people who attend it. I did not talk to a lot of people outside my friend group from church and mostly stayed with them. After the session, I didn’t want to fully commit my Saturday afternoons to attend LTF since I had PSLE and was having tuition during those hours. Near the end of the year, I attended the LTF camp in December. The fellowship during the camp helped me get to know more people in LTF. It was also the first time I started to understand the message being given and made me reach a spiritual high. The following year, I started to attend LTF regularly. But I felt that after the camp I grew further from God. For the next 8 months, through church and LTF I slowly started to grow closer to God. The 2023 LTF camp helped strengthen the sense of fellowship with God. But up to this point, I half understood the messages being taught in church making me not really understand God and what He is trying to say in the messages. 

I felt that it was during the 2023 LTF camp that I was somewhat saved. In the beginning of this year was when God gave me a better understanding during the messages. The church camp in June allowed me to understand each message and helped me to take notes and learn valuable lessons from each message. During this period, I also started feeling a sense of guilt if I sin and I also felt that some of my prayers were being answered further solidifying my sense of salvation. Due to this, I felt comforted when I talked to God and felt that some of my prayers were answered. The sense of guilt to not sin that was not present when I was younger helped me to be less sinful in life. I started to take advice, and lessons from the messages in church and LTF and tried to apply it to myself. One such advice was to pray to God regularly which I've been trying to do for the past 6 months. Over the same period, I also tried to walk away from sin and started to walk closer to Christ. I slowly tried to put some of my bad sinful habits away.  I would pray to God to ask for help in putting these habits away and ask for forgiveness. The messages that I understood also allowed me to see the many things God does for me that I don’t even realise and thus helping me to trust in him more.

– Heng Ean

As someone who grew up in Life Bible-Presbyterian Church, I was already familiar with Christ at a young age. I was familiar with God's word and his teachings through the many lessons and sermons throughout the years. However, to be honest I did not really feel any emotional connection with God and just went through the motion. Although I still fundamentally believed in Christ, I was not really attached to him and did not seek him out. I was quite oblivious of my sin and frankly did not really care to obey his word. As a teenager I was too occupied with the worldly things happening around me and just growing up as a whole, that I just did not leave the time and give the effort to grow a relationship with God. 

To be honest, I do not have a very dramatic or distinct turning point in my life that led to me being saved. As I grew up and became more mature, I slowly came to realise that God has done so much for me, gave me so much to be happy for and has been so merciful unto me. I was more aware of my sin and felt that it was not right. I prayed and asked God for forgiveness, and asked for help to turn away from my sin. From then, I slowly changed my sinful ways and habits, and wanted to obey God more. I felt more connected with God and started to build a relationship with him. After all this, I felt that I became a better person overall, one who is more mature, kinder and compassionate to the people around me. I realised my actions are a testimony for God and I wanted to glorify him. I then attended the catechism class to reaffirm my faith and I thank God for saving me. Even though I do not have an interesting story about being saved, I hope this serves as an encouragement to all and especially young people to come to Christ.

– Theophilus Chew

I grew up in a Christian family and always found Christianity a good idea. It taught me moral ways and made sense. I also grew up in a church where faith was seen through strong emotions and loud demonstrations. As such, while I pursued the feeling of loving God, I knew very little about the truth behind faith, salvation and how to love God. It came to a tipping point in year 2 of university when I had a sudden realisation of how meaningless life was, as it just repeats itself. It’s striving to hit the next milestone, then striving again to succeed at the next thing. After having children, we repeat the same cycle of striving for things through them. We take our PSLE, O levels, A levels etc through them. And we repeat the whole cycle again through our grandchildren. I felt disillusioned at life and not knowing where else to turn to, I prayed to God continuously and asked Him to help me find meaning. I also hurt some good friends during that time and realised how broken and prone to sin I was. I realised I was unable to change my habits and my character through my own strength and will. 

During this period of pleading with God, I was touched by Ps 63:5: My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips. I enjoyed eating buffets and always felt very satisfied after finishing one. I prayed that I would feel just as satisfied, if not more so, everyday after reading the Bible. God answered that prayer little by little. He gave me a close community of believers who thoroughly enjoyed the Word. Through weeks and months of reading the Bible together with them, faith began to grow inside me. The true and unchanging nature of the Word became precious to me, especially when everything kept changing around me as I transitioned from schooling to work attachments and eventually working. So many things I once staked my confidence on failed me (such as my intellect, capability and friendships), but the Word remained an anchor in these times. In fellowship, the encouragement of fellow believers often spurred me on. The most memorable encouragements weren’t the long expositions, but rather the straightforward and simple verses they shared with me. These simple truths from His Word cut through the confusion and exposed the truth of the situation, laying bare the crux of the matter from God’s point of view. Sometimes, they exposed my own sin. Other times, they helped me to re-evaluate what truly mattered. The most persevering joy in all these experiences was gaining a deeper understanding of these verses by living them out and experiencing them, watching these truths become reality in my life and praising God for the reliability of His Word. 

The slow yet effectual work of the Word produced faith in my heart, assuring me of my salvation when I confessed Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. As I relished His Word with my community, praying over the truths revealed in them over and over and examining my faith, I became convinced that I would be with Him in heaven if I died. I could never turn back after He gave me a new heart that enjoys knowing and loving Him, and look forward to doing so for all eternity.

I was raised in a Christian environment where faith was an integral part of our family life. However, during my early years, my relationship with God was more about following the traditions I was taught rather than a deeply personal connection. I attended church regularly, participated in Sunday school, and followed the Christian practices that were part of my upbringing, but my faith felt more like a routine than something that truly resonated within me. 

As I entered my teenage years, I began to question the faith I had grown up with. The world around me offered many different perspectives, and I found myself grappling with doubts and uncertainties. I started searching for answers and, in doing so, explored various aspects of my faith more deeply. It was during this time of exploration that I encountered the teachings of Reformed theology, which profoundly impacted my understanding of God and my relationship with Him. 

Reformed theology introduced me to a view of God that was both sovereign and gracious. I began to grasp the depth of human sinfulness and the overwhelming magnitude of God's grace in saving sinners. The doctrines of grace, particularly the concept of God’s sovereign election and the idea of salvation by grace through faith alone, resonated with me in a way that nothing else had before. I was convicted by the truth that my salvation was not based on anything I could do but entirely on God's mercy and grace. 

This conviction led me to a deeper, more authentic faith. I felt a strong desire to publicly declare my commitment to Christ, and at the age of 16, I made the decision to be baptized. My baptism was a significant moment, symbolizing not only my faith in Christ but also my embrace of the Reformed understanding of that faith. It was a declaration that I belonged to Christ and that my life was now rooted in the truths of the gospel. 

Since then, my journey of faith has been one of continual growth and learning. The more I study Scripture and learn about God's character, the more I am in awe of His grace and love. My faith is now deeply personal and central to everything I do. The Reformed faith has given me a solid foundation, helping me to understand that my life is entirely in God’s hands, and that my purpose is to glorify Him in all things. This understanding has brought me peace, joy, and a sense of purpose that I hadn’t known before. Today, I strive to live out my faith with the conviction that God is sovereign, and that He is working all things for His glory and my good.

I am Pauline Quek. My faith journey began in 1982 when my late sister introduced me to the Lord, and we worshipped together at Bethany BP Church. However, I strayed from my faith in 1986 and didn’t return until 1997. 

A chance lunch with an ex-colleague reignited my faith. Noticing he gave thanks before eating, I asked if he was from a BP Church. His affirmation led to an introduction to the late Pastor (Dr) Patrick Tan from New Life BP Church, and I began attending services there. 

Initially, I felt unworthy of baptism, but a friend reminded me that Jesus came to save the unsaved. This truth resonated deeply with me. Not long after, my daughter, Lauren, suffered a severe fall, fracturing her skull and causing internal brain hemorrhage. Thankfully, my St John membership enabled me to stay calm and secured timely medical attention from her pediatrician who also happened to be St John’s Chief Commissioner. 

Lauren’s recovery was a testament of God’s grace. After her discharge, she expressed a desire to worship at New Life BPC. We were baptized together in 2000. 

Later, we joined Life BPC to accommodate Lauren’s Chinese classes. Here, we enjoyed worship services, Sunday School, and fellowship with my sister-in-law and her sons of which I’m grateful for this timely arrangement. 

However, during the February 2024 Sunbeam NBC meeting, I realized the importance of formal church membership through the book ‘Life in the Father’s House.’ I understood that not transferring my membership from New Life BPC to Life BPC meant I wasn’t fully committed. 

Today, I’m taking steps to transfer my membership, recognizing my duty to serve the Lord intentionally. I’m grateful for this journey and eager to continue growing in my faith.

– Pauline Quek

My (Pauline’s) husband, Lim Teck San (Sam), came to know Christ as a teenager through his sisters, who attended Life BPC. Sam had been working overseas for many years, including after our marriage, and his faith took a deep dive. 

In 2000, while living with his sister’s family in Chiangmai, Thailand, Sam accepted Christ and was baptized by the late Rev Timothy Tow at Eternal Life Church, Chiangmai, in December 2000. 

Whenever Sam returned to Singapore, he worshipped with us at Life BPC. However, his life took a challenging turn when he suffered a stroke in 2017. Currently, he resides at Orange Valley Nursing Home in Balestier. 

Recently, I shared with Sam the importance of transferring his church membership to Life BPC, and he agreed. We are grateful to the Lord for His guidance and blessings, even in difficult times. 

We appreciate the support and encouragement from Rev Charles Seet and Rev Quek Keng Khwang, church members, friends and relatives. Their kindness has been a testament to God’s love and care.

– Sam Lim Teck San

I read many interesting testimonies of people coming to know the Lord through repentance, crying and praying, all in one day. My journey was a progressive one. I came to know Christ when I was serving my National Service. I cannot remember the exact date because there was no thunderstorm or heavy downpour on that day. My first church was Ang Mo Kio Methodist Church. There was no spiritual upliftment after attending a few sessions. It was my brother who introduced me to his church (Christian Assembly at Wilkie Terrace) where I started my journey. A church caretaker took me to be his student. The Bible study was intense. I grew in knowledge and became spiritually stronger week after week. On one occasion, I was moved by the Holy Spirt and cried in the church. 

On 8 Jan 1984, I was baptized. The salvation date is never a requirement to go heaven. God wants our conviction and commitment. My baptism is a milestone in my life because God has preserved me from this day onwards. The church came under satanic attack after I was baptized. My teacher came to know a group of friends from India. They were very convincing and zealous for God. We visited their Church in India and became friends. Soon, my teacher invited them to our church to share the Word of God and the elders of the church did not agree with their doctrine. They claimed Jesus was 100% man and not 100% God when He was on earth. Immediately they were cut off from the church. This sad episode caused a group of brothers and sisters to leave the church, including my teacher. I thank God for preserving me. I was very zealous for the Word, and I went to another church and later I came to know Life BP Church under the shepherd care of Timothy Tow. I was truly blessed, and I decided to stay with Life BP Church. 

There was a drastic turn in my Christian life after my career took off in mid 30s. I am blessed in my career.  I recall during one of my reservist periods, I met the guy who shared the good news with me. He told me he was busy earning money and accumulating wealth. I am not sure if he is still holding to the same faith. I thank God for His mercy and love. He has never forsaken me. He has blessed me more than I expected. I never asked for more. I never failed to acknowledge Him as my God. Unfortunately, I was no longer doing the things I used to do. 

It went on for many years until God told me enough is enough. It is a routine for me to bring my mum to church every Saturday which is near to her house. On 13 April 2024, Saturday afternoon, I was walking to the car when I felt my head spinning. I frequently experienced this spinning effect, and I thought it was vertigo, which my mum has. I waited inside the car, thinking that it would disappear as it always does after 5 minutes. This time round it did not. I decided to call my youngest girl for help, who was sleeping when I came out. She was the only one at home and is never prompt in answering my call. I was surprised that she answered my call in just 1 or 2 rings. When we got home, I vomited non-stop, and I knew the seriousness of the situation. It was a shocking revelation when the doctor at A&E told me that I had a stroke attack. This stroke could have killed me if not make me bedridden. God has preserved me again. Many years ago, I asked Him to rekindle my first love for Him. I did not expect Him to answer my prayer in this manner. I have escaped death on many occasions before I was hospitalized. He has been watching over me and is in control of my life. 

After the stroke episode, I started reading the Bible and praying fervently. To me, this is a second spiritual revival. I pray for those who are outside the Kingdom of God and share the word of God with them. God has answered many of my prayers He answered my prayer when I was stranded in KL airport on 29 May 2024 after I lost my passport. I watched this movie “The Terminal” many years ago, and this guy was stranded in the airport for 9 months, and I was not prepared to camp overnight without extra clothing and medication. There was nothing I could do except to cry out to Him. My prayer was answered at the eleventh hour. I cried with joy, giving thanks to God for His mercy and grace. The Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years, and I was stranded in the airport for about 8 hours. I am learning to surrender to Him totally. I appreciate the suffering and proudly acknowledge that I have this thorn in my flesh. When I am not doing what He wants me to do, He reminds me of my stroke. 

I attended the Sunday men’s fellowship since May this year. I believe each of them has a story to tell but my spirit could feel the love of Christ in this group. Christ is not returning for an individual or a single church. He is coming for His bride. It is important to have a sense of belonging, not just to fulfill the legal requirement but also as a good citizen of God’s Kingdom. I decided to go for transfer of my membership to fulfill both. 

Brothers and Sisters in Christ, 

And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. (1 Corinthians 10:13)

Friends and Loved Ones,

When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:  (Luke 13:25) 

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5)

Wait no longer. God shuts the door, and no man can open it, not even your loved one inside. Amen

– Samuel Seow Chong Yeow

I was from a Buddhist family background. Previously I believed that if you do good and do your best, hard work will pay off. When bad situations occur, I would blame it on luck. With some help from friends around me, in 2020 I started to read the Bible. As I read during my spare time and start speaking with God, I realized slowly and clearly how wonderful and powerful God is. 

During the start of Covid, I had to undergo medical treatment for an autoimmune disease. It was a difficult time as I was having multiple relapses and due to the lockdown, it was hard for me to go back to Malaysia for treatment. One day, the doctor in Malaysia informed me that I can skip the quarantine process and head straight to the hospital in JB to start treatment as I urgently needed it. As I started to pack my luggage, I just kept having this indescribable feeling, a whisper from someone telling me to call and confirm with the hospital directly. Lo and behold, the hospital had a new Covid case and I would be stranded in JB if I went over as suggested by the doctor. I was both sad but glad; although I could not proceed with treatment, I know that whisper previously was sent by God to save me. Through this personal experience, I told myself it is undeniable that God exists and is here with me and I need to acknowledge Him. 

After my treatment, I was my late father’s palliative care nurse while I recovered. And not long after my father’s passing, my husband was diagnosed with cancer. It has been a very challenging journey through it all, and I really would not be able to go through it without Christ. I feel closer to Him, and I continuously pray and speak to Him whether it was to share something good or bad, He gave me strength to endure and go through these challenges. In 2022, I decided to go through baptism. I know Christ has always been there and is always there with me. I was never alone and always have something to be grateful for every day.

Shorter Catechism Question 18

Q: Wherein consists the sinfulness of that estate whereinto man fell?

A: The sinfulness of that estate whereinto man fell consists in the guilt of Adam’s first sin, the want of original righteousness, and the corruption of his whole nature, which is commonly called original sin; together with all actual transgressions which proceed from it.

Fellowship Lunch

There will be a Fellowship Lunch after the Church Anniversary 9am Service today. Offerings to defray the cost of the lunch are welcome.

Parking Arrangements

• Main sanctuary and Beulah parking for those staying for lunch only.
• ⁠Please park outside or at Kai for those not staying for lunch. Please only park in designated areas in Kai to avoid misunderstanding with Kai Management.
