The King has come and announced the coming of the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:15). What is this Kingdom all about? We often talk about it, but do we have a clear understanding what the Kingdom of God is all about? Strangely, Jesus never defines it. He merely tells stories to illustrate what the Kingdom is like. How has the coming of the Kingdom shaped the worldview, ethics, and mission of those who follow Jesus?

Come and join Rev Dr Lim Kar Yong in this journey of discovery about what it means to be citizens of this Kingdom.

Instructor:

Kar Yong is passionate about anything related to the New Testament – the Greek language, manuscripts, archaeology, geography, and history of the New Testament era. He teaches New Testament Studies at Seminari Theoloji Malaysia and regularly leads study tours to the Holy Land, Turkey, and Greece. He is also an Anglican priest in the Diocese of West Malaysia.

Are you ready to bless?

The 40 Days of Blessings start on 18 Jul and that is barely 6 weeks away. Some are excited to embark on this journey, while others are still hesitating. Whatever you may be feeling, let’s take it to the Lord in prayer. Here is a list of items to pray about:

Community Life

• Pray for an outpouring of godly wisdom, divine strength, and joy of the Lord upon the pastors and ministry leaders as they lead the church in bringing hope to an increasingly distressing world.

• Pray for members to grow in their knowledge of and love for God by intentionally setting aside regular time to read His Word and do His will.

• Pray to join a cell (if you are not in a cell) where mutual encouragement and sharing of each other’s burdens can be lived out, for God has wisely said, “a cord of three strands is not quickly broken” (Eccl 4: 12). You can register at this link https://tinyurl.com/40DOBSIGNUP

Outreach Ministry

• Pray for the Spirit’s leading and divine connections as the Outreach ministry develops suitable projects to bless the communities.

• Pray for a display of God’s wonders during this time of pandemic. Pray that the people who are affected directly or indirectly by coronavirus will experience God’s presence, power, and provision.

Visually Impaired Ministry

• Pray that the Braille transcription of the 40DOB materials will go smoothly.

• Pray that the Lord will move the visually impaired members to participate in the 40DOB campaign.

Filipino Service

• Pray for the preparation to train cell leaders and assistant leaders so that they are well equipped before 40DOB commences.

• Pray for the preparation and recording of Bible Study sessions based on the memory verses for 40DOB.

• Pray for good health, favour, and wisdom for the Core leaders as they lead the Filipino Ministry.

In the midst of the pandemic darkness, our Lord exhorts us to be the light of the world, so let us shine brighter for Him even as we know He is in control and over the pandemic.

1. Suspension of Onsite Worship Services

Due to the increased number of community infections and in support of the heightened Safe Management Measures advised by the authorities, Paya Lebar Methodist Church has suspended all onsite worship services with immediate effect until further notice. This means there will not be any English, Mandarin, Peranakan, Filipino or Youth Services from Sunday 16 May 2021. We will review the suspension in line with the advisories from the authorities and will inform you accordingly.

We thank and praise God that we are still able to worship Him as a corporate body online with live streaming of our services. Please join us every Sunday for the live streaming of the 9.00am English Service at live.plmc.org, and the 11.15am Mandarin Service at ms.live.plmc.org.

6. Blessed to Bless

We are a Family Blessed to Bless the Community and the Nations. Let us live out our church vision by (a) praying for one another, the community and the world, (b) blessing those on the frontlines, behind-the-scenes, and those badly affected (eg healthcare and other frontline workers, the poor and needy) with kind words of encouragement, gifts and services.
