Lessons from Noah’s Ark (Gen. 6)
1. Don’t miss the boat.
2. Remember that we are all in the same boat.
3. Plan ahead…it wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.
4. Stay fit…when you’re really old, someone may ask you to do something really BIG.
5. Don’t listen to critics…just get on with the job that needs to be done.
6. Build your future on high ground.
7. For safety’s sake, always travel in pairs.
8. Speed isn’t always an advantage…the snails were on board with the cheetahs.
9. When you’re stressed, float awhile.
10. Remember…the ark was built by amateurs, the Titanic by professionals.
11. No matter the storm, when you are with God, there’s always a rainbow waiting. Read Full Entry

Message by Rev Dr Vincent Leoh on 4 April 2010
Text: John 20:1- ; 21:19-31; 1 Cor. 15:3-8
Easter was God … loving you!
The bodily Resurrection of Jesus Christ is a central pillar of the Christian faith. The fundamental question upon which Christianity ultimately rests is, “Did Jesus Christ actually, literally, and physically, rise from the dead?”Everything hangs on that question. There is a whole chorus of voices from the 1st century that say loudly and clearly, “Yes, He did rise from the dead. We saw Him; we talked with Him; we handled Him.” (1 Jn 1:1). Read Full Entry

FINDING FAVOR IN TOUGH TIMES
(Esther 5:1-8)
A Message by Rev Dr Vincent Leoh on 7 February 2010
“FAVOR is the special affection of God toward you that releases an influence on you, so that others are inclined to like you, or to cooperate with you.” – Lance Wallnau
FAVOR is different from Grace, although it comes from the same root word. Grace is undeserved—The Bible is full of instruction about how we can obtain FAVOR.
FAVOR is like being dipped in honey so that the blessings of God stick to us.

New Year’s Message
THE YEAR OF GOD’S FAVOUR
(Luke 4:14-27)
A Message by Rev Dr Vincent Leoh on 2 & 3 January 2010
This word—FAVOUR—can change your life. In the Old Testament it means: Grace, charm, acceptance, goodwill, or desire. In the New Testament, “Favour” is from the Greek word “Charis” or “Grace.” It is the divine influence upon the heart and its reflection in the life; the spiritual condition of one governed by the power of divine grace. “Favour is the special affection of God toward you that releases an influence on you, so that others are inclined to like you, or to cooperate with you” (Lance Wallnau).
