Hebrews 13

Bible Passage:  Hebrews 13 My teachers used to say STOP LOOK and LISTEN! Now I find myself saying the same thing to children too. Why do we have to stop and look before we listen? I thought to myself… if I don’t stop what I am doing, I won’t look up and see what the [...]

Hebrews 12

In our last hymn service, Bro Hon Chew picked a seldom-sung hymn ‘”Almost Persuaded” Now to Believe’ in line with the incident of Agrippa’s ‘near’ conversion to Christianity.

Hebrews 11

Bible Passage: Hebrews 11 This is the chapter which I’d like to call the “Chapter of Faith”. Why?

Hebrews 6

Bible Passage: Hebrews 6   During the Youth Spiritual Meeting, we were split into groups according to our age to discuss about brethren who no longer come to church. It was not easy to hear those names read out, though I only knew one out of the handful. As I read today’s chapter, I feel [...]

Hebrews 5

Bible Passage:  Hebrews 5 Obedience through Suffering …he learned obedience through what he suffered. (Hebrews 5:8) There is a saying that goes something like, “If you are not beaten, you don’t know the pain.” Jesus learning obedience through His sufferings reminds me of this. Indeed, it is often after the chastisement of God that we [...]
